The exceedingly light vote WHEN
Alfred Blaisdell received all over the
thirl district is a surprise t0|
his friends who, Judging from the
large amount of sentiment that ~
parently favored him prtor to the
primaries. led them to believe he had
show to land the nomination, or at
least be designated by the second
choice vote. The Tribune though
1t Is published In another district,
has a large circulation in the Third
district, and while it was considered
a Simpson paper it was friendly to
A]fred's candidacy to a certain ex-
tent. However, there are those who
account for Blaisdelrs small vote by
claiming that he failed to support
the entire republican state ticket
two years ago and that some Of the
voters of the Third took an oppor-
tunity to play even by turning the
tables. bismarck Tribune.
In Justice to Mr.. Blaisdell we
want to say that while. the pill was
rather hard to swallow In one OF
two instances he did give the tic.
ket his loyal support two years ago.
The only reason that Blatsdell eailed
to land the nomination for congress
was because there were too many
aspirants for the office from Minot,
a fact which the Independent put up
to the candidates in no uncertain
language months ago. If Minot or
any other city ever succeeds in send
ing man down to Washington, the
citizens will have to give that man
their united support.
"A dear old Lady friend of ours
says that when dad was young PEG
pie who had had colds soaked their
feet in hot water and took q bowl of
ginger tea and went to bed. Now
they have lagrippe, take .quinine and
feel sick all summer. Then they
had Sore throat, wrapped a piece Of
fat pork in an old wooden stocking,
tied it around the neck at night and
went to work the next day. Now
they have tcnsilitis,a surgical oper-
alton and two weeks in hospital.
Then they had stomach trouble.
took castor oil and recovered. Now
they have appendicitis, week iii the
hospital and six feet due east and
west. In those days they wore I'M
derclothes, now they wear lingerie.
Then they went to a good square,
now they go to cafe. Then they
broke leg, now they fracture a
limb. People went crazy, now they
have brainstorms-or are born crazy
we don't know which. Politicians
then paid good, hard cash for sup
port, now then send government gar
den seed instead. Yes, times have
changed and we all change with the
times. That's progress. III.

Woodrow Wilson was nominated
at the Baltimore Democratic conven:
ton Tuesday afternoon on the forty.
sixth ballot, after one Of the hardest
political fights in the history Of the
United States. The big interests no
doubt stood behind Champ Clark Of
Missouri, who was high man until
near the close Of the convention
W. J. Bryan controlled the conven.
tion and by the unsel1sh spirit
which he displayed, saved the day
for the progressive cauee. bryan
might have put up a great fight for
the nomination himself, but realiz.
ing that 1t might mean the iisrup
ton Of the Democratic party, threw
his strength to Wilson with elective
results. With Wilson and TAFT ip
the field, there is no question but
what the Democratic nominee will
win in next falls election.
The supreme court has decided the
normal school case and now the
normal board WILL be free to go
ahead with the work Of constructing
the buildings on the North side site
We lidn't favor the North side site
particularly, altho we WI, have to ad-
NIT that there isn't better loca,
ton in the city, and at the election
voted for the two south side sites.
Nevertheless, We consider that the
matter has been settled definitely
and we should certainly not favor
any further action which will tend
to interrupt the work. Let's all DO
good and enter our hatchets."

satisfaction that o. j. Clark of Sher-

CUT DOWN PANAMA GARRISON
Secretary Stimson Asks Appropriation
for Permanent Headquarters.

Washington, April 10.-The war de
partment has decided to cut down the
garrison on the Panama canal zone
and has abandoned the idea of housing
the soldiers in temporary quarters.
This became known when Secretary of
War Stims asked congress to ap-
propriate $3,587,000 for the erection
of a permanent camp opposite Culebra
sufficiently large to accommodate
three regiments Of infantry, twelve
companies of coast artillery, one bat
tallion of field artillery and a squadron
of cavalry.
The original plans called for four
regiments of infantry, one regiment of
cavalry, one regiment of field artil-
lery and twelve companies of coast ar
tillery 1t was found that permanent
quarters could be constructed for the
sum necessary to acquire temporary
quarters.

SAY ALIENS ARE GONE
Detectives Claim Men Wanted Are No
Longer in Vicinity.

Mount Airy, N. c., April 10.-The
detectives engaged in the search for
the Allen outlaws declared that the
outlaws are no longer in this section,
but have escaped to unknown parts.
Others, however, assert that the out
laws are still hiding in the mountains
and have no intention of leaving. 1t
is a we'll known fact that the people
of the mountains, either through
friendship or fear, have stood by the
outlaws in their efforts to elude cap
ture.
The people here believe that the de-
tectives are simply trying to throw
the mountain people off their guard
by their declaration that the outlaws
have escaped.

BIG STEAMER AFIRE
AT SEA is BEACHED
Ontario, of Merchants and Min
crs' Line, In Flames.
General Wireless rs. o. S." Sent Out
Asking Steamers to Go TO the
Ontaro's Aid-Burnng
Vessel Beached

The Merchants and Miners line
steamer Ontario, which carried tif-
teen passengers and a crew of forty, is
on the rocks off Montauk point, with
fire raging fiercely in her hold. The
passengers were taken off by a tug
early in the morning. The crew is still
aboard fighting the fire.
The first message was picked up at
the Point Judith wireless station at
2 o'clock. A few minutes later a second
message was received, saying the OPP
orator on the steamer would soon be
obliged to leave his room because Of
the heat. Efforts were being made, it
was said, to reach Montauk Point to
beach the steamer
The naval wireless station sent out
a general IS. D. S." call, asking all
steamers near Montauk Point to go to
the assistance of the Ontario. The
naval station also took steps to send
the revenue cutter Acushnet, at Woods
Hole, to the steamers assistance. Tugs
also started out from New London.
Soon after the Watchhill life saving
crew also started in big power boat.
Meanwhile the Ontario, under its
own steam, reached MOntauk Point
and was beached about a mile and a
half west of the life saving station
there. 1t landed its passengers shortly
after 4:3O o'clock, They went ashore
just after the fire broke through the
deck, making further attempt at fight
ing it impossible. The passengers were
landed after a battle with the surf.
None was hurt, although most of them
were drenched, according to wireless
message.
Soon after the passengers quit the
vessel the flames reached a point bare
ly fifteen feet away from the wireless
room. The wrecking tug Tasco from
New London is near the scene. She is
equipped with wireless.
At $3.50 Captain Bend sent word to
shore that the fire vas under control.
The vessel was then hard aground and
apparently in no danger of breaking
up. A wrecking tug is on the way
from New Yok to pull the vessel off
the rocks, if possible, when the fire is
eXtinguished.

Bowbells, N. ID. Feb. S.-To The
Forum: Judge Leighton finished the
January term Of court at Bowbells on
Friday Of last week. Many criminal
and civil cases were disposed of, but
none were Of any great importance.
Gasoline engines are fast taking the
place Of horses for farm power among
the heavy land owners. Uutil last
spring there were less than a half dog
en- in use and were confined to two or
three different makes. The coming
season will usher in the use of from
twenty to thirty large outfits, repre-
senting most all the leading makes OF
the fas tractors.
In spite Of the fact that the weather
permitted thresiFing operations up UNI
til near Christmas there is yet a con-
siderable amount OF grain in shock
and stack to be thresIaed In the spring.
The reason OF the delay In threshing
was due to a very rainy fall and few
machines In operation.
Those who enjoy live political bat
ties viii only need keep their eyes on
Burke county the next eight months.
The outlook for a good crop in tho
northwestern corner OF the state was
seldom better than for the coming
crop season. Unusually heavy rains
last fall soaked the ground thoroughly
and this was followed by q hard freeze
up. 50 it is certain that the spring
crop will be sown with plenty cf
moisture In the soil. which means
a good start ia growth. Farmers gem
orally feel optimistic and will take
hold in the spring with bright hopes.
The crop last reason was frona fair 10
good la the north half Of the county.
but the south half experienced what
could almost be called a failure. How
ever. financial conditions are very
much better than at this time last

relieved To know that the county seat

leadership. incidentally, he again
showed Mr., Bryan that his advice is
not considered any too highly by bis
party colleagues in the house. In
fact, it is the general feeling here that
the action Of the caucus amounted to
q notification to the peerless leader
that the dominant party in the house
would like him to recognize that the
time has arrived for him TO "get Off
so far as any further attempts to die
tate Legislation and policies are con-
cerned.
AS for Mr.. Underwood, when the
Nebraskan walloped him during the
extraordinary session for the defeat OF
free raw wool, he rose up to his full
height and denounced Mr.. Bryan In
-unmeasured terms. declaring that he
had lead the democratic party to de-
feat three times and ought to have
the decency to- stop interfering with
other mems business. The Alabaman
made this and other singing remarks
with the calm knowledge that Mr..
Mr.. Bryan still retains a large meas
ure of influence with the rank and file
democracy. At the same time, he
acted on the theory that that same
democracy is sick and tired Of being
led to defeat. In view of the hopeless
defeats suffered by the democrats un-
der Mr.. Rryan's leadership, Mr.. Under
wood and many other democrats in
congress feel that the Nebraskan Is
not in position to give advice or 10
expect that Ii win be followed.
The most significant feature of the
caucus turH-down of Mr.. Bryan, who
acted through Representative Henry,
was the reading Of the N~ebraskan's
telegram. which amounted to a chal-
lenge to the house to follow his leader
ship in the investigation Of the money
trust or be politically damned in the
eyes Of the people. The roll call was
taken Immediately following the read
ing OF this telegram. Mr.. Henry had
sprung the telegram with the idea that
it would whip his party colleagues into
line. Instead, 1t fell fat. According
