London, Dec. 22.-Not since the

Edward VII. has London seen a more
impressive funeral cortege than that
of the late Whitelaw Reid, United
States ambassador to the court of st.
James, whose body left for his native
land on the cruiser Natal from Ports

A crowd even greater than that
which watched the casket pass on it's
way to the Westminster abbey memo
rial service thronged the streets to
see the procession from Dorchester
House in Park lane to the Victoria
station, where the body was e%ntrained
for Portsmouth.
Full military and naval honors were
paid to the dead ambassador and the
British government did everything pos
sible to show its respect.
To the patriotic Americans of the
London colony it was apparent that
the British We're doing everything @

Directors Of Movement Pleased With
Results in 1912.
During the winter season, when the
representatives Of the Better Farming
association cannot be afield on crop
plans, they are engaged in the organi-
zation of farmers clubs. Seven coun-
ties in North Dakota have representa-
tives in the association now. They are
Wells, Barnes, Cavalier, Stutsman,
Bowman, Hettinger and B%ottineau.
So far thfrty-six of these clubs have
been organized and workers expect
to have at least $50 by spring. The
membership of these clubs includes
farmers, their wives, children, hired
men and hired girls. The social TEA
ture is the primary idea and educa-
uonal features are also prominent.
The clubs do much to relieve the tie.

The directors of the Better Farm.

the progress of the work in the stat,

than for the past year and the work

How Money Kings
Control
DIRECTORS IN COMMON
Eighteen Firms Have 746 Rep
reSentdtiveS in 1874 Rail and
Industrial Corporations.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Charts pre-.
sented to the house money trust in
vestigating committee show:
That eighteen leading financial
firms, Of which ]. P. Morgan is one,
have 746 directors in 1874 railroads,
financial and industrial corporations
representing an aggregate of twenty
i've billion, eight hundred and twenty
five million dollars.
That c%ondensing the list of those
who control the financial resources of
the country it appears that ]. p. Nor

the National City bank, the Guaranty
Trust company and the Bankers Trust
company, all of New York, are repre-
sented by 341 directors in various
corporations that have an aggregate
of twenty-five billion, two hundred

That still further condensing the
list it is found that the Morgan com
pany, the Guaranty Trust, the Bank
ers' Trust and the First National
bank are represented by 229 directors
on the boards Of corporations.
That the leading financial institu-
tons have many directors in common,
forming an ~interlocking system that
binds great financial institutions to-
gether.
An explanation of the chart relat-
ing to Morgan & Co., the First Ma
tional bank, the National City bank,
the Guaranty Trust company and the
Bankers Trust company, says:
What Five Firms Control.

IN NORTH DAKOTA
iews Of the Week From varI.
Gus Parts Of the State.
IRRIGATION is INCREASING
Fifth Biennial Report Of State En-.
aineer Contains Much In
%teresting Reading.

The fifth biennial report of the
state engineers. office has been hand
ed to the governor. The report shows
irrigation has increased materially,
the permits for the appropriation Of
water being nearly as many for the
past two years as for the previous
hive years that the office has been in
existence. Several private irrigation
projects have been undertaken,
among them the Shields creek project
in southern Morton county, the Doug
las creek project in the old Fort Ste
venson military reservation and the
Garrison creek project.
A noteworthy drainage project be-
Ing carried on under the direction of
the office is the Mouse river improve
ment work, which consists of wild
ening and Strengthening the channel
OF the river from the north line of
MeHenry county to the mouth of
North Antler creek, which is fourteen
miles north of the international boun-
Diary. The contract for the work was
let in July, 1911, and about 300, 900
cubic yards have been handled this
year.
Hunters lake drain in Cavalier
county was completed in August, 1912,
and two drains in Nelson county have
been surveyed and plans and speci-
fl atoms made for them, as we'll as
the Lost River drain in Pembina
county.
Typographical surveys and plots
have been made of the Rock Island
military reservation. Surveys, plans
and specifications were made for the
Heart river dam in 1912.
The report discusses the highways
and highway laws of the state and
shows that much work was done the
past two years.
The state engineer being ex-fticio
state coal mine inspector his report
contains a full report of every mine
operated in this state. During the
year 105 mines were operated. The
beds of coal vary from three to nine
teen feet in thickness. Where the
overburden is light the coal is mined
by stripping. An average of 1900
miners were employed during the
winter months, while 400 was the av-
erage for the summer. No fatalities
occurred during the year and very
few serious minor accidents.
