MORE RAIL CONSTRUCTION
Forecast 10 for Another Good Year In
North Dakota.

E 49, 49, 4Es ~
That there will be no letup in rail
road construction in North Dakota
next season is indicated by the atti-
tude of the railroad companies. The
Great Northern has filed resolutions
for a new line from New Rockford
into Montana, while the 500 is con-
templating an extension from Plaza
west into new territory In Western
North Dakota. The latest move is
that of the Northern Pacific in filing
resolutions for an extension OF the
proposed cutoff from Edgeley to Can
nonball.
The completion of this cutoff, con-
Meeting Wadena, Mimi, and Miles
City, Mont, has been contemplated
for some time. The new line will
relieve the traffic on the main line,
as many of the fast trains will be
routed over the shorter road. 1t will
also give the cities in the southern
tier of counties better service. AL
though for the time being the new
cutoff may mean a loss to Fargo Job
bling interests and an advantage to
the Minnesota centers the ultimate
result should be the building up in
Wahpeton and other southern border
North Dakota cities of extensive job
bling interests.

DYNAMITE
IN MARKET BASKET
Defendant Who Pleaded Guilty
Gives His Evidence.

Indianapolis, Nov. 16.-Carrying dy-

the way Edward F. Clark, an iron
worker testifying at the so called dy-
Mantle conspiracy trial, said he ar
ranged to blow up nonunion jobs.
Clark, an official of a local union in
Cincinnati, pleaded guilty at the be-
ginning of the trial of the forty-five
men accused of completely with the
Mcnamara brothers in the illegal
transportation of explosives.
In detailing his confession on the
witness stand he told of personally
blowing up work on a railroad bridge
across the Miami river at Dayton
May 3, 1908, and leaving behind an
umbrella which bore his initials. Clark
asserted officials of the International
Association Of Bridge and Structural
Ironworkers induced him to do dyna-
hitting.
Once, he said, while inspecting
work in Cincinnati, President Frank
M. Ryan pointed to a railroad bridge
across the Ohio river and said, There
would be a good place to put a shot"

Conference in Different Sections.
At a conference of the experts of
the North Dakota Better Farming as
ISOLATION at Grand Forks preliminary
plans were made for a campaign this
winter for the organization of farm
ers' clubs. Attending the conference
with Thomas Cooper, director of the

Farmers are already taking hold of
the club proposition" said Secretary
Cooper. 1.-The clubs we started last
year have in most instances thrived
and the results have been entirely sat-
isfactory.
"These clubs are designed to meet
the needs of the different localities in
which they are established. Propo-
sitions of especial interest to the resi-
dents of the district supporting the
club will be considered and in that
manner the best of results and the
greatest good can be accomplished.
1T is our purpose to make the new
clubs small affairs; each with a men,
bership of not more than ten or twen-
tY."

BEAN CROP is PROFITABLE
North Dakota Farmer Has Given 1t
Trial of Eighteen Years.

Raising beans in North Dakota is
very profitable farming, according to
John Eitman of Mapleton, who has
had eighteen years experience and
during that time has lost but two
crops from frost. Mr.. Eitman says
beans a be made a very profitable
crop. He suggests, however, that
they should be raised in connection
with sheep, which consume the by
products.
"The worst enemy to the bean crop
in this state" said Mr.. Eitman, els
the pigeon grass, the growth Of which
makes it necessary to hand pull the
CROP" In the eighteen years he has
been raising fre 2aa.t ten acres to seventy
acres Of beans, preparing the soil care
fully and selling his product for seed.
The largest yield prior to this season
was eighteen bushels to the acre. The
prices have ranged the past eighteen
years from s1.25 to SO a bushel.

DECIDES UPON
EXTRA SESSION
Wilson Says Congress viii Con-
vene About April IS.
TARIFF LEGISLATION FIRST
0PASidant EIAe< naol.r>> nI>do>, 1S
President Elect Declares Pledges Of
the Party Ought to Be Redeemed
as Promptly as Possible.

New York, Nov. 16.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson announced that i'm
mediately after his Inauguration as
president of the United States he
would call an extraordinary session
OF congress to convene not later than
April Is for the purpose of revising
the tariff.
The president elect will sail for
Bermuda this afternoon for a vacation
and will return on Dec. 16. To set at
rest in the meantime speculation as
to what he would do with regard to
tariff revision he issued the following
statement:
II shall call congress together in ex-
traordinary session not later than
April Is. shall do this not only be-
cause l think that the pledges of the
party ought to be redeemed as prompt
ly as possible, but also because I
know it to be in the interest of bust
ness that all uncertainty as to what
the particular items of tariff revision
are to be should be removed as soon
as possible"
Beyond this brief announcement the
governor said he had nothing further
to say. Most of the opinions he had
received from public men seemed to
be in favor of an extra session, he
said.
Fastened His Announcement.
The governor did not intend to ex-
press himself about an extra session
so soon after his election. Although
he has favored the idea of an extra
session because the present arrange
ment would not bring the new con-
gress into session until thirteen
months after it's election he had ex-
pected to spend more time in ascer-
tanning public opinion.
With the time to be consumed in
discussion the governor felt that il
an extra session were not called the
benefits of tariff revision would be
postponed for practically two years.
Throughout the campaign he reiter-
ated that he desired an immediate re-
vision of the tariff and that Demo-
cratic leaders knew perfectly well
how to proceed about it.
The governor was impressed by the
argument also that with an early an
"nouncement as to an extra session
Democratic leaders in congress could
begin to take counsel at an early
date so that much of the preliminary
detail could be worked out before con-
gress convened on April Is.

ARE ACCUSED OF
LARGE SW|NDLE
Six Men Arrested in as Many
Eastern Cities.

Cincinnati, Nov. 19.-With the ar
rests in six cities of men alleged by
the government to constitute a monu.
mental get rich quick chain Of swim
dlers United States secret service men
declare they have brought to the sur
face an organization that has mulcted
small corporations, inventors and pro-
motors of $1,000, 900 in the last three
years.
The plan of operation, it is charged
In the indictments, was for members
of the concern to advertise their abil-
ity to sell stocks for promoters and
inventors. Those who answered the
advertisements were told that the
stock could not be sold at it's true
value unless guaranteed by a reliable
guarantee company.
The customer then was recommend
ed, it is charged, to George S. Hanna
ford, who conducted the Chicago De-
benture company. Hannaford, the in
dictment states, would guarantee the
stock, charging 1 per cent of it's par
value. The promoter then would be
informed that a purchaser for the en-
tire issue had been found providing
the proposition was found worthy.
A charge rating as high as one-third
or sometimes As per cent of the par
value of the stock would be made for
this investigation. Afterwards the
promoter was informed that his prop
osit1on had proved to be no good and
was dropped.

TO MAKE PAPER FROM FLAX
Government Will Test Merits Of North
Dakota Straw.

Dakota Straw.
The investigation of the govern
ment into the possibilities of using
North Dakota flax pulp in making
paper are being steadily continued.
Recently Professor Charles J. Brand
of the department of agriculture Wis
tied Dickinson and made arrange
ments for the purchase of a carload
of flax straw to be used in a govern
ment test at Cumberland Mills, Me-,
for the manufacture of paper pulp.
Professor Brand said the test would
probably not be made until nearly
spring. In addition to the test fea-
ture it was Professor Brands purpose
to find out the cost at which this raw
product can be laid down at a central
market. Wood pulp is becoming scarce
and the price has advanced so rap
idly in the past few years that the
manufacturers of paper are looking
about for other of raw mate
rial. If flax straw can be chemically
treated so as to make it yield IS per
cent of pulp suitable for high grade
paper it will become at once a staple
product for manufacture. Naturally,
If the cost of transporting the raw
product is too heavy. the result will
be the building of paper mills in

HARD BLOW TO TURKEY
Sultan LQses Three Pashds, 60,
600 Men and Many Guns.

London, Nov. 19.-Any idea that the
Turkish government may have had Of
benefiting by continued resistance
must be shattered by news Of the fall
of Monastir. In the capture of that
important town the Servians took
three pashes, including the comman.
der-in-chief, Zekki Pasha, $4,000 men
and forty-seven guns, thus achieving
the greatest individual success of the
war.
Monastir was the second city of i'm.
portance in European Turkey. 1t was
Turkeys stronghold in Macedonia and
by its downfall Macedonia passes
completely out of Turkish hands.
What part the Greeks played in the
capture has not yet been ascertained.
1t is known that the Greek army was
marching &c the assistance of the
Servians and it is supposed that the
Greeks We're able to cut off the Turk
ish retreat to the south.
Monastir virtually had been sur
rounded by Servian troops for several
days. On Saturday the Servians, after
twenty-four hours desperate fighting,
succeeded in capturing two important
heights commanding the city. They
then advanced through the
upon the inner fertilization.
Monastir is the headquarters of the
Sixth Turkish army corps, command
ed by Zekki Pasha, but man. other
Turkish troops fleeing from surround
ing towns which had been captured
by the Servians concentrated there.
David Pasha, the commander of the
Seventh Turkish army corps, went
there with many of his soldiers after
the fall of Uskup to the Servians.
Army Totally Disorganized.
1t was thought that the Turkish
troops would be able to stand a
lengthy siege, but it is evident that
the army was totally disorganized and
lacked provisions.
Monastir occupied a capital position
for defense. 1t is the market center
of the entire district and has a popu-
lation Of $4,000, composed of Servians,
Bulgarians, Albanians, Armenians,
Greeks and Turks. The Christians
number about half of the inhabitants.
The Servians naturally will be elat-
ed at this victory, which outshines the
capture of Saloniki and must have a
great moral effect on the future course
of the war.
Another of the strange silences
which have been characteristic of this
war appears to have fallen over Con-
stantinople, from which city only brief
dispatches have been received, telling
of the resumption of the Tchatalja
battle and that the sultan has made
a fresh personal appeal to the Euro.
pean sovereigns to intervene for the
termination of the war. Quite as lit.
tie may be expected to come of this
appeal as of the previous attempt at
mediation by the powers.
With cholera and typhus ravagine
her demoralized army and a powerful
enemy hammering at the gates of the
capital Turkey must appeal again tc
the allies for terms. Undoubtedly the
object of the commanders in ordering
the attack on the Tchatalja lines was
to compel this course. 1t seems in.
credible that Bulgaria, for the mere
glory of a triumphant entry into a
city she does not desire possession of
should wish to take her army into a
disease infected zono
