that failed, and, in disgust, Governor
Cobb said:

Maine is the original prohibition
State. 1t first tried it in 1846, kept it
nine years, repealed it in 1855, and
again adopted it in 1858, retaining it
tnominally) ever since. 1t has been a
failure from the beginning and the
change in public opinion has been so
great that from a majority of some
10000 when prohibition was adopted
the law was retained by only 1853
votes out of a total of 10000 last
year.
Because Of this change of sentiment
resubmission of the question to a
vote was made a plank of the Demo-
cratic platform, with Frederick w.
Plaisted as the candidate for Cover
nor. Electing a Democratic Governor
in Maine is about on a par with elect
ing a Republican Governor in Texas
or Arkansas, yet on this platform of
repeal of Prohibition Plaisted was
elected.

Bismarck, n. d., Oct. 25.-For some
time it has been rumored that the
Northern Pacific railway intended to
construct a line from Edgeley on west
across the Missouri river to connect
with its Missouri river line at Can
nonhall, but there seems to have been
no positive information on the sub
tect until yesterday. when the North
ern Pacific company filed its resolu-
lions with the secretary of state au-
thoriZing the same.
This will be an extension of the
Fargo Southwestern branch, which
runs from Fargo through Lisbon and
LaMoure to Bdgeley, and there are
rumors that it is to become one of the
main lines of the system TO the coast.
This connecting link will be 10
miles long, thereby making Edgeley a
freight division point, with Fargo and
Cannonball the terminals of the pas
senger division. It is also reported
that it Is the intention of the COM
pany to make Cannonbsll an import
ant point for the company. and it will
undoubtedly become quite railroad
town. Cannonball Is naturally a CEN
ter. as, ono will see by the map and
1t is reasonable to see the possible in
tentions of the company, as there Is
practically an empire in that section
of country to be served.
The road Is graded from Cannonball
south through Fort Yates, on down
into South Dakota, and it is re-
ported that this will be -ironed during
the coming summer. BY this II will
| be seen that CannonbalI is to become
quite an important junction point. s.-

terest and benefit to the towns along

waited patiently for thirty years for

It means that within a few years they
will have more trains, including a

tension OF the Southwestern branch
referred to in this article was passed
at meeting of the board of directors
Of the Northern Pacific Railway Co,
held in New York City, Oct. IA, 1912,
and Is copied from the original now

former speaker Of the Indiana house

fore the Clapp committee, which is in
vestigating campaign expenses cor
roborated the testimony of former wit
ilesses as to the contributions of
George w. Hopkins, Ed. L. Mclean
and Clifford Pinchot to Beveridge's s
campaign in 1904. He said he believed
the total of these contributions was
1900.
Perkins told the committee he con-
tributed $4,000 which Beveridge re-
turned. Petit said that BeVeridge
showed him each of these checks, one
for $4,000. which he was informed
came from Perkins.
Beverldge told him he did not intend
to use any of the money: that it Wag
matter OF personal friends.
"The state committee knew nothing
of this money! said Petit. He said
he knew the money was declined. After
Petit concluded Clapp announced the
committee probably would recess url-
i'll after election.
