River park Winnipeg, between Frank
l-ohr's Dacotahs of Grand Forks and
James Browns bunch of hopefuls. but
they expected to get going today.
Judging from the name in which
both teams have been paying there

before the series of nine games are
concluded.
The Winnipeg team arrived home
from their somewhat disastrous trim.
prepared to get a start i'm the present
series which will soon put them in
the running, it is expected. Manager
Brown. though soewhat disappointed
at the showing of his team, is not a
MT discouraged. and is quite confident
that he will soon be up at the top of
The ladder to stay. He says that the
break went against the boys. The
ulnpiriag was, he says. bad. and lost
them d couple of close games. He
has several good hall players at his
ringer TIPS; ready to report at Il mo-
confidence i'm the present bunch of
athletes. Hon Haney. a catcher from
the Pacific coast. will be behind the
bat. and Rabbit Sturgeon. Il little fell
low with speed to burn. who halls from
the Nernon club of the Pacific coast
league, will hold down the second
sack.
Krucscr is Field Captain.
This will aus a switch in the line

who has been appointed field captain
OF the team. will be found at his old
job in the short field. while Clothier
will be at third. kirkham going to

from BOb'of the Nanvouccr club yes
terday. offering to farm out DeMaggio,
a cracking good outficldcr and Bedford
n Seaton, two pitchers who have
been working good this season. Bel
last season. Brown seem satisfied
with his pitching staff. but will likely
send for DeMaggio.
Duluth Team Above Stride.
Francis Lohr who has many warm
friends in Winnipeg. is here with his
Grand Forks squad which includes,
Jerry Edmonds. Van Dine. Bill Dono-
van and Wilson, all Former Maroons,
N they are prepared to give the
present Winnipeg team Il hard argu-
ment. Lohr say that Grand Forks is
one of the best cities on the circuit as
far as supporting the BASEBALL club is
concerned, n he is determined to
give the city d good team. He says
that his team is going pretty good.
but expects better results later. He
thinks that the Duluth team is going
away above its stride and expects soon
to see them take Il slump. Frank
says that the White sox arc simply
hitting every kind of d ball and get
ting away with it. but thinks as soon
as the luck breaks tho other way that
they will slump badly.

NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED HAVE
REGISTERED AND Interest
Is FAST INCREASING.

The presidential preference primary,
which was started at the Fad Shoe &
Clothing company store week ago,
is creating considerable interest and
the results of the poll are being
looked forward to with more or less
concern by the adherents of the var
ious candidates.
The Roosevelt boosters allege that
their candidate will come through just
as he did in Illinois and Pennsylvania,
with an overwhelming majority over
all other candidates. In order to push
a good thing along, the Teddy boys
are doing a bit of quiet rustling and
getting in all Of the voters they can
scare up. The Taft men say that the
supporters of the strenuous Oyster
Bayan are due to receive a shock when
the returns are Tailed up next Satur-
day night.
Among the democrats, Woodrow
Wilson and Champ Clark appear to be
running neck and neck, judging from
the remarks by those who come in to
vote. Nearly four hundred voters
have registered and placed ballots in
the box and the indications are that
the total number of votes cast by next
Saturday night will exceed five hun
dred.

APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE WHEN
BIG OCEAN LINER STRIKES
IMMENSE ICEBERG.
EIGHT HUNDRED SAVED
Women and First Glass Passengers
Taken Off of Doomed Vessel Into
Life Boats and Are Picked Up,
While Twelve Hundred Who Re-
mained on Board Sank With Ship.

Courtesy Great Falls Leader:
Cape Race, N. F., April 16.-One Of
the greatest catastrophes Of modern
times occurred yesterday morning be-
tween the hours of and o'clock,
when the White Star liner, Titanic,
went to the bottom with more than
twelve hundred passengers aboard.
Eight hundred passengers, including
all Of the first class passengers and
women, we're taken off the monster
boat few hours previous and loaded
into the life boats. They were picked
up this morning by another White Star
liner, the carpathia.
The Titanic was on her maiden trip,
having left Southampton for New York
last Wednesday. She was a monster
ship, $40 feet long and Of 10000 tons
displacement. The Titanic had a ca.
pacity for 5000 passengers and carried
a crew Of 600. A veritabIe floating
palace, many prominent people made
It a point to take passage on her
initial trip across the Atlantic.
At 1925 Sunday night the Titanic
struck giant foe and was badly In.
jured. The wireless sent out a mes.
sage asking that immediate assistance
be sent.
Half an hour afterward an additional
message said they were sinking by

the head and that women were being
put off in the iifeboats.
The weather was calm and clear, the
Titanic's wireless operator reported,
and the position of the vessel was
40.38 north latitude and 5O.14 west
longitude.
The marine station at Cape Race no.
titled the Allen liner virginian, the
captain of which Immediately advised
that he was preceding to the scene Of
the disaster.
On leaving Southampton last We'd
nesday the Titanic had a rather ex-
citing moment. While passing the
White Star liner Oceanic and the
American liner New York, which were
berthed alongside one another, the
suction of the Titanic's triple screws
dragged the New York from her moor
ings. Her stern swung into midstream
and narrowly missed striking the IT.
tanic.
The Titanic has accommodations for
$500 passengers and carries crew of
$50.
That icebergs are prevalent in the
Atlantic was made known today when
it was learned that the Cunard liner
Carmania and the French liner Mag
ara had adventures with them last
week. The Niagara had several plates
stove in off Grand Banks last Thurs
day and the Carmania had an exciting
day threading her way through foes.
Some of the more notable passengers
aboard the Titanic were Alfred Gwynn
Vanderbilt, who joined the ship at
Cherbourg, and the Countess Rothes,
Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Taussig, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. B. Thayer, Mrs. J. S. Stuart
White, Mr.. and Mrs. H. J. Allison, Mrs.
Albert and Mr.. and Mrs. Cardoza;

The last signal heard from the tt
tanic was by the Virginian at 1877 yes
terday morning. Within less than an
hour later, the liner was beneath the
waves with her crew of 600 and rs
many passengers. No other ship got
in sight of the injured ship before she
went down.

HIGH TRIBUTE PAID To

WASHINGTON ORATOR DECLARES

"The greatest speaker in the coun-

Hon. Charles G. Heifner, of Seattle,
at banquet of 600 Washington dem
ocrats at Walla Walla, Wash, last Sat

mendous ovation, the demonstrating
rivaling that of the big democratic
meeting at Fargo several weeks ago
when Mr.. Walsh delivered a speech
which every one there present de-.
clared the greatest ever heard in the
northwest.
Mr.. Walsh was invited to address
the democrats of Fergus county ut
the Jefferson day banquet Saturday
evening, but was prevented from CON-
ing by reason of his previous engage
ment to speak at Walla Walla.

said that the utmost care must be
made here this year in the selection
of a ticket and emphasized the neces-
sity of recognizing all portions of the
county In the selection of candidates.
Ovation for George.
Hon. w. b. George, of Billings, was
introduced by the toastmaster as a
candidate for the democratic nominal
tion for governor. When the Billings
booster rose to speak, he was given
an ovation by the big crowd, who thus
made it plain that the accomplish
ments Of the Yellowstone county sena-
tor are not unknown to the people of
this county.
In opening his address, Mr.. George
stated that he was not fully decided
whether or not he would become a
candidate for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. The position of governor OF
Montana, he stated, is an exalted
honor, second only to the presidency
of the United States and one which
any man might cOvet. Continuing, he
stated that 1t Is an honor even to be
mentioned in that connection and to
that extent he appreciated the kind
words of the toastmaster and ap-
preciated still more the cordial recep-
tion rendered by the democrats OF
Fergus county.
Tribute to Jefferson.
Mr.. George then launched into an
eloquent tribute to Thomas Jefferson,
in which he said:
1T was 1863 years ago today that
the great Jefferson first saw the light
of day. From the time he entered
upon manhood's estate to the day of
his death, Jefferson held foremost
place among those who laid the
foundation for this nation. 1t was his
mind which conceived the Declaration
of Independence and his pen which
wrote that matchless document. He
stood then for just government fol
the people by themselves and the po
litical doctrines which he enunciated
in the first years of the nations life
are today milestones along the high
way of popular government"
Some Practical Questions.
Mr.. George then entered upon a dis
cussion of problems which are now be.
fore the people for solution. One of
the requirements In Montana, he
stated, is a law creating a public utili
ties commission, which shall have a
control over the charges made by the
great public service corporations. He
also advocated an adequate primary
election law, better method oil
handling the states convicts and 9th

WILL SOW MUCH FLAX
IN STANFORD COUNTRY
FARMERS OF WESTERN PART OF
JUDITH BASIN PREPARING
LARGE ACREAGE.

Stanford World: The fine weather
of the past ten days has resulted in all
manner of spring work being COM
menced and at the present time over
GO power plowing outfits are working
adjacent to Stanford, to say nothing
of the several hundred farmers who
are doing their work with horses.
Much of the plowing Is confined to
sod breaking, stubble land being too
wet, as yet, to allow work being done
thereon.
Farmers from the Denton district
are authority for the statement that
in that section the culture Of flax will
be practiced more extensively this sea-
son than in any previous year. The
prolonged period of rainy weather last
fall was the source of occasional dis
appointments with that grain, but on
very profitable and farmers making
study of agricultural conditions in tho
Basin are of the opinion that flax Is
destined to be one of the coming
staple crops. Several fields that were
impossible to harvest last fall will be
cut during the present month and
many authorities state emphatically
that no loss whatever has been o.
casioned by it's standing out over win
ter.
Estimating the acres of wheat
sown in the Stanford country last
fall on the basis of the acreage Of
1911, which was 10000, it is ascer-
tained that the total was increased by
one-half. This, with the spring grains
to be sown during this and the COM
ing months, will make a conservative
acres to be harvested adjacent to this
town next fall.
