ITepdlaClohs are Deln8 made by
those interested in the development
, of the Red River for the hearing which
will be held at the Commercial Club
room on December for the purpose
f hearing arguments on the question
Of putting in dams which will raise
the level Of the river to sufficient
height to make it fit for navigation.
Prof. E. r. Chandler was at Drayton
yesterday morning 40 look over sites
suitable for one of the dams He
reported last night that dam could
be put in there without very heavy
expense. This he declares is true OF
many other available sites down the
river.
The hearing will be conducted by
Lieut.. Col. G. L. Potter, who has re-
Gently completed survey Of the Red
river and who is in charge of the in
vestigation which the federal govern
ment is making in regard to the FEAST
bility Of the plan for damming the
river. The hearing will be held at the
Commercial Club rooms, and that or
ganization is gathering information in
regard to the cost of constructing the
required number Of dams, the best
sites for them, the relative cost and
efficiency Of a few large dams and
a greater number Of small dams and
| other facts concerning the proposed
Improvement. .
Old Boat is Sold. -H
On the proposition Of getting the
government to construct the neces-
sary dams rests the question Of
/ whether or not there will be any boats
plying the river. The Whitney Bros,
who bought out the equipment of the
old Red River Transportation COM
|'pany, are waiting for decision be-
fore making their future plans. AL
ready the old steamer Grand Forks,
which has been the main steamboat
on the river for many years, has been
sold for scrap iron and kindling wood.
The engines and other iron has been
purchased by the Grand Forks foundry.
The other boats, including the Fran
and the barges are being held in read
mess. If there is any prospect that
navigation will again be possible, the
boats will be run regularly. If nothing
is done to insure navigation, the COM
pany plans to wait until there is water
enough to float the boats and they will
| then be taken to Winnipeg.
Among the many reasons which will
be assigned for the need of having
the river navigation will be the pos
sibility of the country along the river
in this state and Minnesota supplying
the demand of Winnipeg for hay, po-
tatoes and bricks There are excellent
markets for all of these products in
the Canadian city, but freight rates
are so high when they are shipped by
rail that they cannot be sold to any
great extent If water transporta-
tion were possible it would afford a
good market for the farmers who
could send their bulky products at
much lower rate.-Grand Forks Times.

Bismarck, N. d., Nov. 30.-After re-
manning in Bismarck two weeks, during
which time she worked at waitress in
a cafe and kept away from other pee-
pie, Miss nman Workman was married
in this city Wednesday night to a
young man who registered at hotel
here as John Killelan of Boston. Last
night, the couple boarded an east bound
train at Bismarck purchasing tickets
for st. Paul.
Miss Ilman arrived in Bismarck
about two weeks ago and secured
work as waitress, but it was soon
discovered that this was probably her
her first attempt at earning her living,
and it was only on account of her evi-
dent desire to please that she was
kept on the force. She refused to give
any information as to where she came
from or as to her relatives, kept COM
pany with no one and when her work
was finished went to her rooms where
she remained while off duty. The 9TH
er day a young man appeared in
the city and registered at leading
hotel as John Killelan from Boston. He
made inquiries regarding the girl who
was working in restaurant, and when
he found her it was evident that they
had met before. There were hugs and
kisses, bushes and giggles, and then
the girl handed over her apron to the
cafe owner and, not waiting TO get
the part Of weeks wages she had
coming, went out with her friend. They
went to the judge and secured a license
and were married on the spot.
Nothing is known of the identity Of
either of the ne*lyweds, except that
one girl who roomed in the same house
with Miss Workman claims that from
some talk she had with the girl, she
comes from wealthy family in the
east and made wager with her fance
that she could disappear and not be
found for six months and she had been
successful for over five months of that
time. All the information that could
be gained from the bride and groom
was that they were "going east"

will have the opportunity. Work of

responsible for the event.
Kenmare, N. D., Nov. 30-Carl Han
son, stranger in this vicinity who had
been in and around Kennare but =
few days, was the victim of foul
murder believed to have been commit
ed late yesterday afternoon or last
night. His dead body was found this
forenoon lying on the shore near the
lower end of Des Lacs lake at dis
tance of some five or six miles south of
the 500 railroad track.
The murder was committed near the
track in the vicinity o. the Diamond
mine q short distance southeast of
town, and trail Of blood indicating
that the body had been dragged from
the track to the shore, led to the
discovery of the dead body. The man g
skull had been crushed almost to pulp
with blunt instrument which was af-
terwards discovered to have been a
fsh-plate, such as are used to connect
one rail with another. The body had
then been dragged for several rods
when the murderers came to fence
and they then threw the body several
feet on the other side of the fence
and escaped. The skull had been so
badly crushed that the mans brains
had oozed out.
An examination of the MAJ g cloth.
ing failed to reveal anything that
would lead to the detection of the Grim
inals. A card bearing his name was
found in one of his pockets while
small book was found in another
which indicated that the man has been
a sailor for many years and has travel
ed extensively in almost every part of
the world. His age was figured at 80
years from data found in the little

SEN. SMITH SHY
Of CA. POLITICS
Keeps His Word, Apparently,
Not to Mix in Contest for
GovernorShip.

From out a mass-and, perhaps, a
mess-of speculation and political
dope" concerning the gubernatorial
contest. one definite idea apparently has
arisen to fix itself firmly and distinctly
in the minds of a lot Of people, and
hat is that Senator Hoke Smith really
and truly meant 1t when, several weeks
ago, he sent out the word from Wash
ington that he desired to take no hand
whatsoever in state politics in Georgia
this summer, and that he would not,
under any circumstances.
If the senator has played any part
in the various efforts to get this, that
and the other candidate into the field
against Slaton and Hall, he has sue
ceeded astonishingly well in keeping it
thoroughly dark
AS a matter of fact. mighty few peo
pie believe. in the light of recent events,
Senator Smith has given aid and COM
fort. or even encouraging suggestion,
to any one of the numerous near-can-
didates for the governorship recently
discussed
Then Hudson Withdrew
1t was not long after Senator Smith
announced his determination to play
hands Off this summer that Thomas
G. Hudson withdrew from the guber-
Material contest Following Hudson's
withdrawal there was talk of Gambler,
and Fielder. and Covington, and Hard
wick. all Hoke Smith men, so-called.
But as each boom arose, fiourished a
brief season, and collapsed, and still
there came no definite word from the
Washington senatorial sphynx. The
tumult and the shouting died-and
things wound up right where they
started. with Slaton and Hall lone con-
testants for gubernatorial honors.
1t is not-and no one is so foolish
as to suspect otherwise-that the sena-
tor disapproves of Jack Slaton or Joe
Hill Hall less, but that he disapproves
Of a partisan squabb1e now consider

when he presumably will seek the

Entries Simmer Down to Two.
1t is generally agreed that Senator
Smith might have made-and still
might make-if he so elected. opposi
tion to Slaton and Hall not only sure,
but strenuous
But as time runs on, and no oppo-
sition appears. the idea is becoming
firmly fixed that he meant 1t absolutely
when he issued his ult1natum, some six
weeks back, that he would take no
hand In state politics this summer.
The gubernatorial race has simmer
