FAITH IN SINK TO
 RISE MINE REWARD
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Withholding for several days the result of recent exploration on the Sink to Rise mine in Copper Bas- m district, Ed. Block yesterday gave publicity to what may be termed q big strike in a new shaft sunk.
 He states that for the full width of the shaft black and green oxides oi copper are eSposed. with punches of massive iron suiphides, also com inK in. The kaolin condition re- mains. but is gradually being super ceded by the pronounced mineral bearing ores above noticed, He is very much elated over the showing, and Is sanguine over copper pro dueer being established. which will also carry good gold values as a bi-me,al product
 The sinking of the main shaft will now be prosecuted vigorously. and to great depth. For the present neither drifting nor eross-cuiting will be performed, ii being the purpose until definite determinations arc es- abolished.
 In speaking of the strike. Mir. Block stated yesterday that several months ago he called in a mining engineer of Los Angeles. to make an examination oi what was termed by miners as freak" property from it's deposi, being confined ex- clusiyciy to kaolin nature. and re- lying on the reputation of his engi- neer as an expert on copper geology authorized work to go ahead, with the assurance also made that sul- phidcs would be encountered and copper would be the principal metal This authority made sixty laboratory tests, and now after nearly one year of development, the prophecy made has been verified Mir Block has under consideration the placing oi machinery to expedite shaft work and when the present contract cN- pires larger development, than here toforc given is to be undertaken Samples from the strike are an cx hibi,ion at his store.

News Of the Week From Vari-
Gus Parts Of the State
BEGINS ON june Is
Plans Practically Complete for Season,
Which Opens at BowbeIls and
Closes at Grand Forks.

The horse racing game in the North
west will be opened as usual this year
In North Dakota, where the seven
members of the North Dakota Racing
circuit are offering six weeks of mid
summer racing. Heretofore the state
has had two separate racing circuits,
but for the present season the strong
er towns have combined into one. Rae
ing will begin at Bowbells June 25 and
will close at Grand Forks Aug. 2.
Purses amounting to $4,000 are Of
fered.
The Bowbells and Minot meetings
are race meets where the horse is the
whole thing. All the other meets are
in connection with fairs where the
horse will be a feature along with the
fatted calf and the prodigal son out on
a lark with his best girl. Coopers-
town has the Griggs county fair, Val,
ley City the Barnes county fair, James
town the Stutsman county fair, Fargo
the North Dakota state fair and Grand
Forks it's large annual meeting known
as the Grand Forks fair.
Fargo having the state fair has the
largest program and offers the most
money, it's total purses amounting to
$1,000. The Fargo program calls for
three harness events each day for five
days. Grand Forks has two races a
day for four days and the others have
three-day meetings. This arrangement
gives the horses time to rest and
work out between meetings. Glasses
have been arranged to fit the average
string nicely and are uniform through
out the circuit.
The meetings at BoWbells and Minot
call for early closing events for every
thing, entries to close June 1. After
that all other meetings with the excep-
ton of one early closing event for
green PAGERS at Fargo are purse events
closing about one week before each
meeting. This arrangement keeps the
bear cats" from cleaning up every
thing and forces horses to ace where
they belong.
Grand Forks is offering a series of
four e plan purses that give free
entry to all horses going three heats
or more and take nothing from money
winners. The money offered nets the
winners as much as a $500 purse un-
der the usual plan, the $500 purse be-
ing split as follows: First, $3.50; sec
ond, SIS; third, $25; fourth, $40. 1t
is believed this plan will make a hit
with the horsemen who have been &C
customed to going around the country
racing for their own money.

KEEPS REAL ESTATE
HOLDINGS INTACT
Counsel for John Jacob Ast0r
Makes Public Will.

New York, May 7.-Counsel for the
family made public the will of John
Jacob .Astor as drawn in this city in
September last, only a few days after
his marriage to Miss Madelaine Tai
mage Force and approximately seven
months before he persisted with the
sinking of the Titanic.
Vincent Astor, a son, who will come
to age within the year, is made the
principal beneficiary and %residuary
legatee. No hint as to the value Of
the great estate is given and by the
creation of trust funds the t%estator
has followed, as far as possible, the
custom of his forbears in keeping the
vast Aston real estate holdings intact.
Valuations of the estate run anywhere
from $4,000, 900 to $3.50, 600, 1000.
Aside from provisions for Vincent
Aston, the will provides for uncondi-
tlonal requests of only $216,5OO. Near
ly all other provisions of the will, as
made public, deal with the trust funds,
of which there are three-S5,OO O, 900
for the young widow, $4,000 900 for the
c%olonels young daughter Muriel, the
child of his former wife, Ava Willing
Astor, and 100000 for the expected
child of the present widow.

LEAGUE FAILS TO ENDORSE
Progressives Devote Session to Rails.
ing Campaign Fund.


The North Dakota Progressive Re
publican league failed 70 endorse can
didates for the executive committee
of the organization at Fargo. The SEES
sion was devoted largely to the dis
ccssion of finances.
H. N. Tucker, of Courtenay, chair
man of the committee and the man
who managed the La Toilette cam
paign in North Dakota, presided at
the meeting. There are contests on
the progressive ticket for only two
offices, those of lieutenant governor
and railroad commissioner. Consider
able discussion over an endorsement
for lieutenant governor resulted in no
action. A. T. Kraabel, former repre-
sentative from Trail county and a
prominent merchant of Clifford, and j.
N. Hanley of Mandan, a leading poll
tician on the "Slope," are candidates
for this Office. There was no discus
sion of endorsing candidates for rail-
road commissioner.
Plans for the approaching state cam
paign were discussed. An adequate
campaign fund was raised and, accord
ing to Mr.. Tucker, the league will
wage it's battle in every precinct in
the state.

LAW GIVES BETTER ROADS
State Engineer Says Single Supervisor
Idea Is Improvement.

State Engineer T. R. Atkinson of
North Dakota is firm in his belief that
county supervision of highways under
the direction of a single supervisor, as
provided in laws passed by the 1911
legislative assembly, provides a means
of road building far superior and more
beneficial in it's effects than the old
township system was.
Five North Dakota counties tried
out the new law last year and in each
of those counties the highway super
intendent has been reappointed. The
matter of appointing such superintend-
ent is optional with the several coun-
ties.
EVERY report that I have been able
to obtain from these counties" the
state engineer says, "shows conclu-
sively that the system is satisfactory.
Not only have the counties been able
to improve those roads which required
work, but more value has been pro-
cured for the money expended. The
men appointed in the counties were
experienced in road building, in three
cases being the county surveyor, and
that fact increased the eff ciency of
the operations"

POTATO ACREAGE SMELLS
Warehouses to Be Built in Thirty

Warehouses to Be Built in Thirty
Towns of Grand Forks District.
There will be a big increase in the
potato acreage in Northern North Da-
kota this year, according to reports
received by the Grand Forks CONNER
cial club end the statements of rail
road freight officials, who are in
touch with the situation.
In no less than thirty cities and
towns in the district movements are
Under way for the construction OF po-
tato warehouses to take care Of this
falls crop and the shipments will be
unusually heavy. In fact, the freight
officials already are taking that fea-
ture of the years prospective business
into consideration.
At several points potato growing
associations have been formed and
the farmers themselves have decided
to erect potato warehouses. AT other
Joints they are interesting outside
shippers and the result has been
greatly tc increase the scope of opera
lions of several of those concerns.
Success that has attended the po-
tato growing activities of several
farmers and associations of farmers
in the past few years has been re-
sponsible fer the increased acreage
which will be sown this spring

Romance Ends Happily.

A romance, is furnished by Sheldon,
where James West has just married
his sweetheart of thirty years ago. AL
most a generation uas passed since he
was engaged to marry pretty Wilhel-
nina Larson in Sweden. He came to
the United States to win a fortune,
but adversely was his chief bane till
recent years, when he was more fortu-
nate. Last winter he went back to
Sweden for his sweetheart, but on ar
rival there found he could not marry
without a certificate to show he had
not married while in the United
States. West was unable to furnish
this, but he brought Miss Larson back
to this country with him and their
thirty-year a has just culminat-
ed in marriage in Ransom county.

SENATE ENACTS
LIABILITY BILL
Passes Compensation Measure
by Vote Of ga to 10,

Washington, May 1.-THE work
mems compensation bill was passed
in the senate, 81 to Is, substantially
as framed by the employers liability
commission, and amended only to in
crease its benefits. The measure,
sharply fought by some of the Demo-
Gratis for several days, now goes to
the house. A number Of amendments
We're offered, but only a few were &C
cepted, n those were with the &C.
quiescence of Senator Sutherland, in
charge of the bill.
The principal changes, made during
the three hours of the roll calls, pro-
vide that the compensation for acct
dental injury and death of railroad
employees shall continue to children
until they are sixteen years old and
extend payment in the case of daugh-
tiers until they are twenty, unless
sooner married.
In general the bill provides an ex-
elusive remedy and compensation for
accidental disability or death to en-
ployes of railroads in interstate COM
merce on theory that insuring each
employe against results of injury in
employment without reference to con-
tributory negligence or any of the
rules of common law limiting employ
ers' liability. 1t provides medical serv-
ice for the injured and means for
money recovery proportional to the
pay of the victim.

Frantic Efforts Being Made to

Fifteen Parishes in Louisiana Under
Water and One Hundred Thou

New Orleans, May 6.-Large sec
lions of fifteen Louisiana parishes
west of the Mississippi river are under
water; four other parishes have some
flood water and are bound to get more
this week; approximately 100 1000 peo-
pie in that territory have been driven
from their homes; trains are taking
out hundreds of families daily; fleets
of motor boats and skiffs are being
used to rescue marooned people; about
a dozen lives, all told, have been sacri-
feed and rations to the value of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars have
beer distributed among the refugees.
Every day brings stories of suffering
in new sections inundated.
Protection of the remaining levees
along the Mississippi river from the
mouth of the Red river south is, how
ever, causing deepest concern for the
present. Millions of dollars worth Of
property is at stake and thousands OF
lives would be jeopardiZed if some Of
the biggest levees should give a
Federal engineers, state and parish
officials and an army of men scattered
along the river from a point sixty
miles below New Orleans to the Red
river are bending every energy to
prove themselves equal to the task as
signed them.
Hope to Save Other Levees.
Reports were more reassuring and
the state engineers declared they had
firm faith in their ability to hold ev-
cry remaining levee on the Missis-
sippi. But the danger is not past by
any means.
Lack of labor, due largely to the
unconcern of negroes who have been
drawing government r%ations, has been
the most serious drawback. Stringent
tactics have been forced upon the Of
flcials and planters, however, and Gov
ernor Sanders ordered the Louisiana
militia to round up 500 negroes and
make them do work on the levees, at
the point of rifles If necessary.
In the third district of New Or
leans the situation is still grave and
a thousand laborers worked filling in
dirt between the levees and the revet-
ments.
From Vicksburg, Miss, south to New
Orleans, the Mississippi river is from
half a foot to two and a half feet
above any previous flood record stage.
