Willing to Build Highway:

Il have no objection to the construc-
ton of such highway. / think the gov
eminent of the United States has the
same power and constitutional authority
to spend the money of the people in the
construction of such a highway as it has
to spend money for the improvement OF
the waterways of the country. But 1 dc
object to the establishment of such a
monument to the memory of the great
war President.
"A memorial to Lincoln ought to be
erected here in Washington, where pill
grimages are constantly and in increas-
ing numbers being made by the patriotic
men, women and children Of the whole
country. A memorial to him should be
permanent, imposing, different in design,
purpose and intent from any other that
adorns the city, and 1t should be SO To-
Gated as to be easily accessible to all our
countrymen who have learned to revere
his memory and to love him for the ten
derness of his heart as well as for the
great services he rendered his country
In its darkest hour of trial.

FOR CITY BEAUTIFUL
Senator Chamberlain Favors
: Generosity Toward Capital.
LIKES PLANS OF L'ENFANT
Would Have Government Acquire
Land South Of Avenue and
Raze Buildings.

Senator George e. Chamberlain of Ore
gon is strongly in favor Of the develop
ment of Washington along the lines laid
down by the park commission, and par
ticularly in regard to the kind of me-
mortal which Is to be erected here to
Abraham Lincoln. He said today in an
interview:
IF the original plan of L'Enfant had
been carried out the south Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue would now be owned and
controlled absolutely and entirely by the
government of the United States, with
public buildings designed and erected in
accordance with systematic plan, max
ing q consistent and beautiful whole. l
hope that Congress will not be niggardly
in the matter of condemning and acquir-
ing for the United States the properties
on the south side of the Avenue and
placing them and the Mall in a condition
SO that improvements may be made from
time to time as have been recommended
and as were laid down and marked out by
L'Enfant in his original design.
Not Commercial Spirit.
Il do not believe that it was the COM
mercial spirit. of the times that marred
the plan of LEnfant for the laying out
Oh the capital Washington was not
looked upon as the site of a great COM
mercial city. and never has been looked
upon as such. Its growth, which has
been phenomenal in recent years, could
not have been foreseen or prophesied
by the wisest statesmen in the days gone
by. I believe that changes in this plan
have been due to the fact that people
of the city and of the whole country
could not appreciate the importance or
the necessity of identifying the capital
and making it what the capitals of the
South American republics are. attractive
in every sense of the word from an
architectural and artistic standpoint.
Il want to urge as strongly as / can
that the plan which has been proposed by
the Mcmillan park commission be carried
out in one most important particular, and
there ought to be constructed on the area
westerly from Washington Monument
and in line with 1t opposite to the Ma
tional Capitol, on the Potomac, a me-
mortal to Abraham Lincoln
There are those among my friends in
the House and Senate who differ from
this view. They favor what they are
pleased to call a practical memorial in the
form of highway from Getty sburg to
Washington, and later on to Richmond.

Freight Congestion.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 24.-Every
railroad entering the twin cities is
struggling with freight congestion in
it's terminals, greater than any ever
before encountered.
Upwards of 1000 cars loaded with
merchandise, grain and implements
are packed in the switching yards of
Minneapolis and st. Paul. Most If
the freight is eastward or westward
bound and preference is given to the
traffic destined to or from local ship
pers or receivers.
Little Christmas freight is involved.
No more conclusive evidence of the
enormous volume of commerce in the
northwest ever has been produced,
declare railroad men.
Millions OF dollars are represented
N the freight standing in the Mime
apois yards alone. Local traffic. men
declare that the congestion extends
into the st. Paul yards, with almost
as serious a condition there as II
Minnea polls. '.-
The Great Northern railroad is said
to hold the key to the situation al
though practically every line is en-
countering the freight blockade.
The Great Northern has handled
more grain than any other line, and
this feature of freight traffic, it is
asserted, has been largely responsible
for the congestion on the Hill road.

SIXTY new TOWNS
ADDED By TARIFF

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 24-SiXty
additional towns and cities on the 500
railroad have been placed in direct
touch with Grand Forks through the
establishment of a joint freight tariff
over the Northern Pacific from Grand
Forks to the wheat line Of the 500.
New lines that have been opened
to Grand Forks jobbers under the tar
iff sheets which will be come effective
tomorrow so far as stations within
this state are concerned and on Jan
90 to stations in Minnesota and Can
ada that are effected, include the fol-
lowing:
Fordville. Walsh county, to Drake
MCHenry county.
Drake, McHenry county, to Plaza
MOuntrail county.
Drake to Kenmare, Ward county.
kenmare to Ambrose Divide county,
Fordville, N, D., to Thief River Falls
Mimi.
Heretofore the only territory on the
500 line open to Grand Forks ship
pers has been between FordVille and
Kenmare on the main line of the 500
railroad. Several years ago an eff
fort was made to gain joint tariff
over the 500 line from Kenmare tC
Minot, but it was not granted. The
construction of the new line recently
from Fordville to Drake has been re-
sponsible for the granting of the re-
quest now for the new tariffs which
will open a big territory to Grand
Forks jobbing interests.
Heretofore only forty seven 500 line
towns were in direct touch with Grand
Forks, the new tariff making the total
number of 500 towns connected with
the city 107.
1t is expected that the Great North
ern will issue similar joint freight
tariff within a short time.
