DEMOCRATS VOTE AGAINST
CONSERVATION OF FORESTS

Washington, d. CA second fill
buster within four days preceded the
passage of the agricultural appropria-
Ition bill in the house last night.
The measure, which carried ap-
Iproximately 15,SGG,o90, was delay
ed in it's final legislative stage in the
house by Minority Leader Mann. He
led bitter fight against it in an ef-
fort to obtain an added appropriation
for national forests and to eliminate
those voted for drainage purposes.
In both his contentious the repub-
lican leader lost. He won his point
in gaining an increase of $225, 600
for administration, protection and
development of forests in the early
consideration of the bill, but when
it was taken up for fin;al considera-
tion the house revoked its action. 1t
also defeated him on his attempt to
have the drainage item stricken out.
The fight was replete with roll
calls and many principles of parlia-
mentary struggle and the members
did not leave the chamber until s
o'clock when the deadlock came.
From late in the afternon until ad-
journment, however, the ebb and flow
of members from the chamber and
| into it again kept the door-keepers
busy.
The bill now goes to the senate.

dividend. A good many ignorant
people have joined the societies, they
claim, not caring what sort of goods
they get for their money, but simply
because they know that they can de-
pend upon the 'vidends to pay their
rent, and the societies. will give them
a free outing every year.
The supporters of cooperation as
sert that these cooperative societies
do, in their dividends, show saving
to the consumer on his purchases,
and that their activities operate to
keep down the prices in the private
stores. They point out also that the
members OF the societies get a real
benefit from the profits in the educa-
tional and charitable work which the
societies do For instance, in Derby,
the cooperative society there has
loaned over million dollars to per-
sons wishing to build homes, and
about 80 per cent of this has already
been paid to them by successful build
lers Then they will at reasonable
rates loan money to their members
to tide them over periods of illness
and disability. In short, they say
that these cooperative societies in
England have actually made good in
their efforts to reduce the cost of
living. The President in his mes
sage of transmittal points out that
only experiments can tell whether
this English sytsem can be applied
successfully in the United tSates.

DEPOT
WAS ROBBED
UNION STATION AT DAVENPORT,
N. D, WAS ENTERED LAST
NIGHT AND RELIEVED or CASH
IN THE SAFE WHICH WAS
BLOWN OPEN.

The union station at Davenport. used
by the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern, was entered last night, the
safe blown open and robbed of all the
cash on hand. which amounted TO
something less than $50. Not only did
the mauraders fitch the station, but
they cut the telegraph wires so as to
disconnect all possible telegraphfc
communication with Fargo, so that
their escape might be more successful
ly made.
In the drawer there was $45 ia sil-
yer and $40 in small bills, all of which
was taken. Nothing else OF any great
value about the once OF the station
was disturbed.
1t is believed that the theft was
committed about midnight or shortly
after. Earlier in the evening a be-
whiskered man was seen in the vicin-
ity of the Davenport station and it is
thought he was connected with the
robbery. Those who have viewed the
scene say the explosion of the safe
and the cutting Of the telegraph wires
was the work of more than one man.
The case was reported to the Fargo
police department. this morning and

HOG CHOLERA and
HOW TO TREAT IT
INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE
INTERVIEW WITH {. v. CLARK,
WHO HAS WIDE EXPERIENCE IN
TREATMENT or THE DISEASE
IN VARIOUS PLACES.

Coming directly from the infected
districts in Iowa, e. v. Clark, north
western manager for III. X. Mulford
Co.. manufa cturing chemists, Phila-
delphia, Pa, was loud in his praise Of
the manner in which the local veteri-
narians are handling the hog cholera
epidemic in Cass county. When seen
at the Hotel Waldorf this morning Mr..
Clark reported great success with the
serum method of vaccination in Iowa,
but advises against the simultaneous
method on account of the great dan
ger attending it's employment.
In using the simultaneous method,
virus from a hog sick with cholera, is
injected in one thigh OF the animal
and hog cholera serum is injected into
the other thigh, while with the serum
method only the serum is injected"
said Mr.. Clark.
The best time to vaccinate is be-
fore cholera has developed in herd.
Less serum is required to protect the
hog and a larger percentage of hogs
are saved The bureau Of animal in
dustry reports show practically 100
per cent of the hogs saved when vac
cinated before exposed, about 80 per
cent saved of those treated after ex-
posure while in the treatment OF sick
hogs only about 80 per cent were saw
ed.
THE state veterinarian of Kansas
reports on $4,000 hogs treated and 49,
900 of these were in diseased herds and
20 per cent recovered after vaccina-
tion. or $4,000 in n-infected herds
SO per cent lived.
"On Oct. 6, 1912, DIR. G. G. Baker OF
Spencer, Ia, vaccinated fifty snoats,
weight averaging seventy five pounds.
These were very sick hogs and 1t
seemed a waste of money to treat
them. On. Oct. 19. two weeks later
every hog was alive and doing nicely.
Fred Gear, big hog buyer OF Mel
vim, Ia, had 40 very sick hogs left
out of a large herd. Three weeks aft
er the veterinarian had vaccinated the
140 only twenty-five had died and the
balance had completely recovered. Mr..
Gear now vaccinates every hog he
buys.
Hog cholera symptoms show a wide
variation and only the experienced
veterinarian can definitely diagnose
the disease. Hog cholera may be car
ried by pigeons, black birds, insects,
dogs, etc, many miles and the most
prompt and efficient way to wipe out
the disease and save thousands of dol
lars to farmers and breeders is to have
your veterinarian treat the entire herd
with reliable serum.
stock ofods and medicine given by
mouth accomplished nothing. The Sc
rum treatment is endorsed by all col
1eges live stock and sanitary borads,

liable veterinarians"

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

There has been some talk recently
of a revival of the fire festival to com
memorate the burning down of the
greater part of Fargo in 1883, and 1t is
likely that some steps will be taken
looking to this end, this winter.
Capt Archie Craig and Harry
ONein were seated in the Othman ci
gar store day or two ago, when the
captain said:
'I'll have to tell this one on my
friend GfNeill. 1t was the last festival
we held and / had been employed to
get up steam caliope, and l had this
rigged up in the best Of shape, with
ear splitting whistles that could be
heard for miles about. My machine
was the last of the features of the pa
rade and following ii were the dis
tinguished, or otherwise, citizens in
carriages. Right next to the caliope
was Mr.. O'Neill and his party in a
carriage and Harry was driving a pair
of horses that were considerably lively.
The procession started, and after due
time started the caliope, and Harry's
horses started to perform. They were
on their hind feet the most of the time
with their forefeet in the air. / could
tell that Mr.. O'Neill was a trifle vexed,
for l could see. while 1 could not hear
him, yelling at the team. Whenever they
would get subdued to a sufficient ex-
tent Mr.. O'Neill would clinch his fist
and shake it at me, and / have no
doubt now that what he said wasn't at
all complimentary, but the whistle
prevented me from hearing. I had
him to rights. for the streets were lin
ed on each side to such an extent that
| it was clearly out Of the question for
him to get away and he had to stand
it over the entire course of the pa
rade.

make at me, but quietly got out OF

When a Fargo citizen comes to the

Oct. 23-Billy Clifford.
Oct. 26--Ole Olson.

AS in the instance of Billy (Single)
Clifford, the legitimate stage is con.
stantly recruiting from the vaudeville
stage. Mr.. clifford is one of the best
known and most popular actors on the
variety platform, and he has been a
headliner for many years. But the de-
mand for good actors ON the dramatic
and comic stage has been great and
the supply has not kept up with the
demand. The result Is that variety
has had to reliquish some of her
brightest players. This season MIR.
Clifford is starring in a new musical
fantasy in two acts, called The Girl,
The Man and The Game. 1t is a farce
with plot of many complications, but
il has other features to recommend 1t,
for it Is packed with good songs, and
they are sung as only Billy Clifford
can sing them. He is underlined at
the Fargo operahouse for this even
ing.

Thomas F. Marshall and others
promised Walter l.. Houser, to deliver
it to LaFollette. On ccoun of the
reciprocity issue. it has been conceded
that La Toilette is stronger in North
Dakota than the president, 1t is the
first state to express its choice for
president and the LaFollette men were
especially anxious to count it In their
column, for political effect. The task
seemed comparatively easy 1T first.
The Taft organization did not put
up a fight, and the LaFolIette campaign
went along swimmingly until the
Roosevelt specter appeared upon the
horizon. LaFollette has many admir-
ers in the state. and they insist that
the badger statesman win carry it.
They do not openly criticise the former
president, but they say openly they do
not believe that he is a candidate and
then sub rosa add that the progressives
of the state believe in LaFollette any
how and that no man, whether Roose-
welt or some n else, can AXE it away
from him. The Roosevelt sentiment is
not based upon the popularity of the
former president, which continues to
be great in the state which was his
former home, but many profess to re-
alize that he is the only man with
whom they can win. and that the sue
~cessful national candidacy of La Fol-
lette is impossible. Here and there crop
out expressions of the belief that Sen.
A. B. Cummins OF Iowa, as a presi-
Dental candidate. might be able to
unite the different factions.

sentiment that a compromise resolu-
tlon was hnally agreed upon. La Fol-
let1e was 1ndorsed as the exponen Of
the poIlcies of Roosevelt, leaving the
lager statesman in the position of
having received an Endorsement in the
event d former president ID out of

former president was referred to as
having served two terms" In antic-
Eipatlon OF his possible candidacy for
the presidency, and in anticipation Of
the certainty that his name win go on

changed to read nearly two terms.

candidates for delegates to the ma
