GREAT NEWS FOR FARGO.

Undoubtedly the most important
piece Of news to Fargoans, since the
information was first published that
the Surrey cut off of the Great Northern
was to be built, is the news in to-
nights Forum that two great ma
chfnery concerns arc TO make this city
northwest headquarters. Outside Of
the actual tiIling Of the soil. the dis
tribution of farm machinery is the
most important industry in the state,
and tho news that the city is TO be
made the headquarters Of these big
concerns is of an import, the full
significance Of which the future alone
viii dtvulgc.
It will mean much to the immediate
prosperity and progress Of the city.
There will be the expenditure of about
S30o,000 here. There will be vast
amount Of building to be done. which
will keep the skilled and unSkillcd labor
Of the city busy and will bring hundreds
oEother laborers here. Besides this It
will bring many more families TO
Fargo as permanent residents,
But the most important feature lies
in tho fact that these great concerns
realize and accept the fact that Fargo
is the best distributing point for The
vast territory to the west and north.
They find it is the logical gate way to
the state and the northwest.
This fact was realized some time
ago by Uncle Sam who made the
Fargo postoftice the distributing point
for all mail supplies from here to the
coast. The United States government
does not do things haphazard. The
selection of Fargo was made after a
close study of the railroad situation
ond the natural conclusion was reach
ed by the officials that every point
west Of the Red river could be more
quickly and conveniently reached from
this city than from any other point.
This is the fact that has been
discovered by these great machinery
houses. Big, successful enterprises
like the Runley CO. and the Emerson
Birmingham CO. do not make d Jump
in the dark any more than does the
government. The very fact that they
are. coming to Fargo will have a
powerful influence in bringing other
enterprises here. That they arc COM
ing assures to Fargo very bright
and prosperous future.

BENEFITS OF DISSOLUTION.

The enforced dissolution Of the
Standard Oil CO. and the tobacco trust
has been held up to the country as a
joke by those who found that instead
of being able to buy cheaper oil and
tobacco, the price was advanced. But
there is one class to whom the dis
solution has proved of great benefit.
The producers are now in clover.
During the past year the price of
crude oil in the Pennsylvania district
has advanced 70 cents u barrel,
until now it stands at 81, the highest
price known in many years. Before
the dissolution the oil producers COM
plained that the big corporation, being
the only purchaser. made the price,
and the owners of the wells were COM
peIied to take exactly what was Of
fered.
stored competition, it is proved that
there is real competition because the
price paid for oil has materially ad-
vanced. under the sharp competitive
bidding of the old units of the stand
ara Oil Co., now separate and distinct
companies.
Connecticut tobacco growers had an
identically similar experience. Before
the dissolution of the tobacco trust
there was no competition. Now for
the first time in years, there has been
a scramble among the buyers and the
crop was contracted for before it was
fully harvested and at higher prices
than for years.
THAT there will be any benefit 60 he

SCORES JUDICIAL RECALL
Henry B. F. MacfarIand Tells
Pennsy|vanians Proposition
Is UnWiSe.

Henry B. F. mcfarland, former Dis
trict Commissioner, in an address last
night before 1870 members Of the
Pennsylvania Society of Washington
at Pythian Temple, took issue with
those who advocate the recall OF
Judges. To subject the Judiciary Of the
United States to the recall, he de-
clared. would be as unwise a move as
It would be impracticable.-
Better than the recall Of judges, he
said. would be to have a popular vote
on a question before the decision is
made by the court, in order that the
court may know the consensus Of pub
lie opinion.
Mr.. Mcfarland, who took as his SUBJ
Ject, Great Judges of Pennsylvania -
praised the judiciary Of the state in high
est terms and pointed out the fact that
five associated judges Of the United States
had been appointed from that state.
These are Justices Baldwin. Dallas,
Strong, Shiras and Grier.

CHILDREN OF STRIKERS
WILL co TO NEW YORK
Arrangements Made to Care
for PassaiC Youngsters
in Gotham.

PASSA1C, n. j., April 6.-Arrangements
are being made to send to New York
more than 1000 children of the 5000 op-
eratfves now on strike for union recogni-
ton, higher wages and shorter hours in
the textile mills In this city and vicinity,
according to announcement by strike
leaders here tonight. This is the plan fol-
lowed by the strikers in Lawrence. Mass.
1t is thought improbable that the
exodus of the children will be inter
fered with Several well known women
In New York have been collecting funds,
1t was reported here tonight, for the
support of the children during their
absence, and have arranged for shelter.
Many of the children already have be-
gun to feel the effects of short rations,
according to strike leaders.
Prepare for Siege.
There were no indications today that
the mill owners and operatives were
any nearer together on the question in
dispute. and strike leaders said they
were preparing for long siege.
Today passed in comparative quiet
Employees of several mills who refused
to strike were escorted to and from
the mills by armed deputy sheriffs,
and no attempt was made to interfere
with them.
William D. Haywood. the Industrial
Workers of the World organizer, who
was threatened with arrest by the au-
pearance among the mill workers
there again, has gone to Chicago, it is
said, but is expected to return to this
city before Tuesday.

HORSE CARS IN NEW YORK.
Animals Still Furnish Best Means OF
Power in Some Sections.

NEW YORK, April 6.-There still sur
vive in New York ITO horse-drawn street
cars. according to a report by the public
service commission today. The discovery
that even one of these ancient vehicles
still is In use in a city Of skyscrapers and
rapid transit has always been a shock to
strangers, but reason for the survival is
pointed out by the Street Railways AS
ISOLATION.
Notwithstanding that horses and their
keep have become far more costly than
two decades ago, the comparison with the
increased cost in equipment and main
tenance Of electric lines has been far
greater. and for short cross-town hauls
the horse itself still proves profitable
power for street car transit. In compe-
tition with something like the strength of
million horses, as represented in cleo
trical power, there are 1900 real horses
still in service for drawing the ITO sur
viving cars.

HOME CURE FOR RABIES.
BacterioIogist Claims a Virus
That May Be Carried by
Victim in a Jar.
Special Dispa tch 70 The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. April 6.-Prof. D. L.
Harris. city bacteriologist Of st. Louis.
today startled the American Association
of Patholog1sts, in session at the College
of Physicians, by announcing that he
had discovered a home cure for the
bies, and that Furthermore he had
tried the cure on himself and was con-
WINGED of its value.
The cure of Prof. Harris consists Of an
improvement of the Pasteur treatment.
Under that treatment it is necessary
practically to kill a rabbit each day in
order to get the brain for incubation
purposes.
Under the system devised by Prof. Har-
ris. through d system Of freezing, he is
enabled to keep the brain in such a state
that the virus retains its strength for 14S
days. and may be carried around in a
Theoretically sealed jar and used as injec-
ton when needed.
Prof Harris asserts that when he was
bitten by a mad dog he experimental
with himself with this frozen cure, and
he found it to be successful. Since then,
he declared he had experimental upon
at least twenty persons in st. Louis
who had been bitten by mad dogs. and in
every case the frozen virus had the same
effect as the Pasteur treatment.
