WORK PUT INTO RIVER sATUR.
DAY.-TO BUILD ANOTHER. 2

Another Of the big barges to be used
in Transporting railway material down
the river for the Great Northern was
launched last Saturday afternoon.
This il the second barge to be put in
commission. A number Of people
were present to watch the big boat
slide down the ways. It struck the
water sideways with sufncient force
70 throw 4 wave about fifteen feet
high, righted itself immediately and
was pulled into shore by = guy line
and inspected for leaks by the SUPER
intendent.
The two barges which have been
built and launched here were built un-
der the direction Of Mr.. J. T. Hudson,
Of saltwater, Minn., for Guthrie 4
Company, contractors for the Great
Northern. Each Of the boats are 90
feet long by IS feet in width and
weigh Is tons. They have . carrying
capacity Of 100 tons. Work has been
started on the construction Of third

WILL MAKE
PEACE TERMS
BALKAN NATIONS AGREE TO
TREAT FOR PEACE..PROBABLE
END OF CONFLICT IN SIGHT.

London, Nov. 19.-The nations Of
the Balkan confederacy, satified with
their victory signifed today their will
lingness to treat for terms Of peace
at the request of the vanquished Turk
ish empire.
The lustre of their success has been
dimmed only slightly by their tempor-
ary failure to overcome the rallied
Turkish army at the gates of Con-
stantinople and enter the Ottoman
capital. "
The stubborn defense encountered by
the Bulgarians at the line of fortifica-
tions at Tchatalja and the realization
that enormous slaughter would be nee
essary to pierce them at the point of
the bayonet, with every prospect that
their ranks would be decimated by
cholera before they had attained Sue
cess doubtless proved the deciding
factors in inducing the conquerors to
listen to the urgings Of the great
powers and refrain from pressing
home their victory.

VISITING AND ROADS

One of the needs Of country life is
4 better social life. It has been found
that good roads are conducive to So
cial life on the farm. When the road
is good it is an easy matter to hitch
up and drive over to the neighbors, to
church, to the picnic, to the entertain
ment at the school-house. The good
road is also followed by better school
and better homes. The better road
also makes the community more at
tractive and the better class of peo-
pie will want to live there. The road
also makes it possible to market the
farm products more easily and cheap
ly, and at all times of the year.
These things result in the good road
making the land worth more. The
good road is to the farm what the
railroad is to the city. w. c. Pal

SHOOTING AT
FAIRVIEW
MEN QUARREL OVER WOMAN
SHOOTING RESULTS-VICTlM
MAY NOT RECOVER.

A shooting scrape, in which one
man is reported to have been seriously
injured, occurred in Mckenzie county
at Fairview on the Dakota side last
Sunday night. AS result of the at
fair Tom Allen is in the local ja3
charged with the shooting. After IL
shooting occurred Allen was arreGooe
by Sheriff Jacobson, of Mckenzie
county and brought here Monday aD4
placed in Jail.
It apears that the trouble wao
started by Allen because man by the
name of Emery had been paying At
tentions to a young lady near Fair
view. On Sunday night it is claimed
that when Emery was leaving ~
home he was shot by Allen. RepogeQ
are that the victim of the shooting L
so seriously injured that his recovery

BUSY ALONG
WATER FRONT
MATERIAL FOR G. N. ON GROUND
ANOTHER SPUR TRACK LAID
IN YARDS

The river front has presented .
rather busy scene during the last few
weeks, and particularly 50 during
the past week. A large amount Of
railway material has been placed on
the ground there within the past
few days. Many ties, rails, kegs OF
spikes, bolts and plates are on the
ground and are being moved down the
river a. rapidly ~ possible. A num-
ber of shacks built by the crew con-
structing the barges furnish head
quarters for the men employed about
the work. Another spur track was
laid through the yard last week to
facilitate the unloading Of material
without blocking the track next to the
bank, which is being used while cara
are loaded with wheat from the barg-
es. This new spur track is several
hundred feet long. The track which
has been laid to the water edge Will
be used to run cars down to be placed
on the big barges for transportation
down the river. Several dump carr
and other graders machinery are on
the ground ready to be moved to the
scene Of operations in Mckenzie coun-

"One certainly cannot help but
think there is no excuse for poverty
in America after seeing the millions
Of idle acres that are scattered over
the Northwestern States waiting for
willing hands to till them."
The vastness Of North Dakota and
Montana wheat farms amazed him by
comparison as we'll as the great area
of uncultivated land that awaits new
settlers in those states. Washington
too was a surprise to the cabinet Of
fcer, especially the orchard country in
the Wenatchee Valley, and the farm
ing region of the Inland Empire, which
he passed through with so much inter-
est that he sat upon the observation
platform during nearly all the jour-
Rey.

TAFT AND THE
CLERGY.

President Taft has recently had a
tilt with the clergy Of Washington
over a recent order Of his. r G.
Valentine, who is the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs, some time ago issued
an order that the teachers in the In
dian schools should not use any Kind
of religious garb while serving as
Government teachers. The Government
Is now spending money to support these
indian schools that were founded by re-
ligious orders, and since they have
called on the Government for fnan-
cial aid, it is thought to be the duty
Of the Government to forbid the use
of any sort of religious garb by the
teachers. President Taft is charged
with playing politics and trying to
win the votes Of a secretarian order
by cancellng the revocation order of
Commissioner Valentine, The Ameri-
