The Alton American is one OF
the best papers we have ever
seen coming out of a town nc
bigger than Alton. 1t is liber-

men of the town, and reflects
credit on the city. One firm in
Alton owns its own type, and
the adv. of that firm in the
American is a beauty, always.
No other firm has the use of the
type.
The newspaper men of the

held in Columbus the fore part
of the week, but the News man
was unable to attend, much to
his disappointment.

Will PURCHASE
right OF WAY
Great Northern Arranging TO
Purchase Right Of Way
IN M'kenzie County

SCHAFER, July I'D. J. Hull, a
Great Northern ~right-of-way man, has
established headquarters at the Il. o.
Mundy Office. AS soon as he has com.
pleted a list of the property owners
from records at the courthouse, he
will make a journey over the survey
for the purpose of ascertaining the
approximate cost of the r~ight-of-way
through the country.
According to Information CLEANED
from Mr., Hull, Mr.. Robinson Of the
traffic department, Chief Engineer
Hogeland and others, who have trav-
eled over the line to determine the
value of the land needed for the right
of.way, the date of beginning tie con-
struction Of the line depends entirely
upon what the company will be asked
to pay for the land. If the right.of-
way can be purchased at what the
railway officials consider a reasonable
sum-. work will undoubtedly begin on
the line at an early date. Should a
number Of property owners, however,
ask the company exhorbitant prices
for their land the work of constructing
the line will be delayed,
Mr.. Hull's instructions are not to
pay more than SIS per acre for the
r~ight-of-way in any case. Where the
line crosses a corner or passes along
one side or end of a farm the company
officials are Of the opinion that from
five to ten dollars per acre would be
q fair price.

ator Owen, on the other hand, made
II known as early as last summer that
he was flatly opposed to the nomina
ton OF Governor Harmon. He stated
his willingness to support either vii
o or Clark, but absolutely refused
TO have anything to do with the boom
for the Buckeye chief executive.
Inc stand taken by Senator Owen
has naturally met with favor by the
so.called progressive Democrats OF
Oklahoma. His friends believe that
the Baltimore nomination Is bound to
materially help the Senator's cause.
The Democratic contest for the SEN
atorship is confined to Owen and Has.
kell, while on the Republican side
there are five aspirants for the toga.
Prominent among them is Dynamite

forces to victory in Oklahoma. The

Democratic by a good majority.

TRAIN STRUCK

Fatalities Narrowly Averted
When Train From Bismarck
Ran AmuCk

MINOT, July ia bad accident
was narrowly averted when the Bis
marck-Minot train on the 500 line ran
into an open switch as it drew into
the Minot yards. The train crashed
into an empty box car which was
standing on the side track, smashin'
one end of the a badly and damag-
ing the pilot on the engine.
The passengers on the train were
given a severe shaking up but aside
from some bruises sustained by the
newsman, no one was injured. The
engineer and fireman both escaped
injury, although they too, were badly
shaken up.
Miraculous Escape.
A couple of a repairers whose
names could not be learned had a mir
aculous escape from death. They had
been at work under the box car remov.
ing some trucks which were to re-
place a pair of defective trucks under
one of Campbell Brothers cars. The
men were brought to Minot from Ken
mare yesterday to put Campbell
Brothers train in shape for transfer
to the Great Northern line, and only
a short time before the collision oc-
Cured had been working under the
box car into which the passenger
train crashoG.
The train was travelling along q: q
rate of about twenty miles an hour
when suddenly, without any warning
whatever, the engine ran onto the sid
ing. Had It been going faster the
probabilities are that the train would
have jumped the track.

MAY URGE REPEAL OF
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY

WASHINGTON. July 24.-President
Taft has indicated to several western
senators who were active opponents
OF Canadian reciprocity that he would
favor repeal of the act.
Some persos think the president
may send message TO congress on
the subject or will state his position
In his speech OF acceptance when a
committee of the Chicago convention
notifies him Aug. 1 of his nomination.
Senate leaders say that SO far the
president has sent no communication
to the committee saying he favors a
repeal OF the law.
Mr.. Taft will not withdraw his own
support of Canadian reciprocity as a
principle, II is understood, but will
take the position that the United
States shold not continue an offer
that Canada refuses TO accept. The
reciprocity law continues in effect In
the United States Notwithstanding
Canada's refusal to endorse it.
One effect of the repeal Of the
reciprocity agreement as a whole
would be to restoer wood pulp and
paper to the dutiable list Those pro-
ducts now enter from Canada free un-
der the only operative clause OF the
agreement.
