WILLISTON HAS SCHEME
For Buying Power From the RecIama-
ton Service. s&t

Williston.-This city has submitted
to the reclamation service Of the de-
partment of the interior a proposition
for contract under which it is pro-
posed to purchase power from the rec
lamation service plant, three miles
from Williston. There is something
Ike 1000 horse power standing idle
nine months in each year and it will
be q great saving to have the plant
in constant operation. $685. =
This work on the part Of the city
officials marks new stage in the ne.
gotiations that have been carried on
for several months, and which were
begun as result of the investigation
and report of Engineer A. H. Stors
Of Denver last fall. Mr.. Stors is the
engineer who superintendent the con-
struction of the government plant
here and is thoroughly informed as to
the local situation. 1t is probable,
that his report and suggestions will
have considerable weight with the
government officials in making their
answer to the offer of the city.
1t is understood that the govern
ment plant can generate power and
sell it to the city at lower cost than
the city can supply itself from It's
smaller and less efficient plant. In
case the city contracts to take power
from the government, it will begin do
ing 80 about July /.

sENTIM lNT FOR TEDDY.
Support Pledged to Colonel i He 10
Chosen at G. o. p. Primaries.

Fargo. - With representative men
from both the stalwart and pro-
gressive wings of the Republican
party in North Dakota present in the
city, all intent on profiting by the
probable advent of Theodore Roose-
welt, the latest presidential possibility,
into the race, the political pot boiled
merrily in Fargo.
At a meeting of the candidates for
delegates to the Republican national
convention, Endorsed by the State Pro-
gressive Republican league, resolutions
were adopted pledging support to
Roosevelt in the national convention
in the event that he becomes the pri-
mary choice Of North Dakota Repub.,
licans. The resolutions read:
Efforts are now being made by in
terested parties to place Us in posi-.
ton Of hostility to Theodore Roose-
welt and his possible candidacy. In
this connection we wish to say to the
voters of North Dakota that we have
at all times recognized Theodore
Roosevelt as the head and front of the
progressive movement in the United
States, and should he become a can
didate for the presidency and his
candidacy be Endorsed by the voters
of the state at the primary we will
support min in the Republican ma
! tional convention.
1--WE will support him not only by
virtue Of the mandate Of the people,
but Loyalty and enthusiastically as q
splendid representation of the prin-
ciples of progressive Republicanism.' q
Congressman l.. B. Hanna came on

fact that National Committeeman
James Kennedy has been called from

that the whole plan of battle relating
| to both state and national campaigns
will be definitely decided upon at this

as governor.
It is freely stated in the hotel lob.
bies that two important political re-
suits of this stalwart meeting will be
, the formal launching of a Roosevelt
boom under the supervision of Con-
gresham Hanna, and that Hanna will

Washington; Feb. 13.-World-wide

European diplomats, recalling a re-.

Central American diplomats are
unanimous in their statements that. the

SAYS MINOT IS
TO Be TERMINUS

Minot, N. D., Sept. 2.-According to
a statement by James j. Hill, known
over the entire northwest as the EN-
pire Builder and former president OF
the Great Northern Railway Co., Mtnot
will be the terminus of the Grand
Trunk Railway CO.'S main line from
Regina into the United States. The
statement is credited to Mr.. Hill in an
interview with The Wall Street Jour
nal. while he was in New York on a
flying visit last Monday. AS to the
affairs in the northwest he said:
General conditions are excellent,
and the outlook is better than 1t has
been for the past five or six years. The
recent heavy rains ave not damaged
crops to any serious extent. What hurt
they have done is confined to a few
small localities. Jobbers are exper-
fencing a good demand. In the past
few years manufacturers have had to
curtail their organization to some de-
gree, and these, of course, cannot be
built up in a day."
Mr.. Hill said that some congestion
might be experienced at Buffalo in
moving the crops but declared that
the Great Northern had terminal facil-

wheat line
NEARLY Lost

Kenmare, N. D., Sept. 1.-The 500
railroad seemed liable to lose a part OF
it's right-of-way, when g. short stretch
of the wheat line. a mile and a hall
out Of town began to lose itself IN
old mother earth. A stretch OF road
covering several rail lengths, on the
side hill where the track circles around
he hill began sinking and before 1t
became settled on a solid bed, there
was a space of over ten feet in depth
between the track and terra firma.
It was a species of sink hole new IN
railroad circles, and several reasons
are offered as the cause. The most
accepted one is hat the road bed is
underlaid at some depth by a ledge or
soap stone, and the frequent rains
loosened up the earth sufficiently TO
cause a slide.
The wheat line service was disrupt
ed for several days until a bridge
was completed across the place. The
mail was run out from here and trans
ferred to a train on the other side,
but no passengers could be handled
from this point.
The whole affair presented quite a
novel sight and a number from here
and neighboring towns made a trip out
to see it.

STATE BASEBAL
stanIey's Great Work.

Stanley, N. D., Sept. 2.-The Stanley
baseball team returned today from it's
trip through Montana. Fourteen of the
seventeen games played weer victories
for the fickertails. Nine of the games
weer played at Kalispell, five at Havre
and three at Glasgow. These cities
are conceded as having the fastest
teams in the state. Stanley won each
series handily, getting away with the
championship Of Montana. Every man
performed like a veteran and the class
of ball furnished by the club was above
criticism at all times. Stanley has a
bunch of hitters, who are especially
dangerous when hits mean runs. The
brilliant team work and fighting ability
of the club is to a great extent due to
the drilling of Manager Corrigan, who
has had charge of the club on its west
ern trip. -,
Sunday the team goes against Doug
las in a double bill at Plaza. Douglas
has a team that has gone through the
season without a refeat and Stanley is
anxious to hand them their first drub-
bling. Gilchrist and Brown will b.
ready to pitch shutout ball and should
win their games with the support their
teammates are in the habit of giving
them.

Moorhead News
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Two Men Knocked pown--One Was
Seriously Injured and Was Sent
to the Hospital.

The nurse at the Northwestern hos
pital, Moorhead, at 100 today, re-
ported that Walter Hamilton, who
sustained serious injuries yesterday
afternoon by being knocked down by
an automobile driven by William
Sprung, a farmer northwest of the
city, was resting easily. No broken
bones have been found and results
mainly depend on such internal in
turtles as may develop, if any. At
present the condition of the patient is
hopeful.
It appears that Hamilton. who says
his home is in Oklahoma City, and a
companion, Edward M. Murray of
Chicago, two transients, were crossing
at the intersection Of Fourth and
Front streets yesterday afternoon, just
as an automobile, driven by Mr..
Sprung. was approaching from the
east and on the right side of the street.
The machine was seen by both men
and they tried to avoid it. The hat
Of n of the men blew off and in try
ing to Gov it, they ran into the
path of another machine and in back
ing from that it is alleged they were
from that it is alleged that they were
hit by the Sprung machine, Hamilton
getting the worst of the collision. Both
men were picked up in a semi-un-
conscious state and a physician was
called. Murray's injuries were not at
all serious, but those Of Hamilton
caused considerable concern and lie
was sent to the Northwestern hospital
where he was cared for by DR.. Hagen.
1t is said that the unfortunate af-
fair was purely accidental and no one
much to blame. and no one regrets
the, occurrence more than Mr.. Sprung,
who is reputed to be the most care
full of men, especially in driving.
