CO0PERS PLAN IS
FAVORED BY MANY
Believe Special Train Idea in
Bringing Harvesters
Would Work Out.

Fargo. n. D., Dec. 13.-"Thomas
Cooper's suggestion of special trains
from the large eastern cities to bring
the surplus labor to North Dakota at
harvest time seems to me to be the
only practical solution Of the problem
at present" said a we'll known Fargo
banker yesterday afternoon.
III is true as Secretary Slime de-
clares that the permanent solution of
the labor problem in the state will lie
the division of the farms and DIVERSE
lied farming but until hat period
comes about we will have to find tenn
porary relief n it seems to me that
the suggestion of Director Cooper,
concerning cheap rate through trains
from the east should be followed out"
l.. other Fargo business men are also
inclined to accept the idea of Direc-
tor Cooper Of the Better Farming as
soclatlon as the real solution of the
problem which confronts the farmers
OF the state at each harvest period.
II Is pointed out that in the past
me bringing of labor to the state was
h~aphazard undertaking.
! AS a general thing no plans have
oeen laid TO secure laborers in adj
vance of the actual need for them.
The twin cities and Chicago would
then be expected to furnish all the
help required.
Because these cities have not the
surplus labor which is to be found
in many Of the larger cities to the
eastward there has been a shortage Of
help.
Business men conversant with the
situation declare that it is not to be
expected that the men can come from
the eastern cities in sufficient num-
bers unless low fares can be secured.
In d to get the fares low
enough it is thought that the rail-
roads will find it necessary to u a
number OF special trains direct
through from the eastern cities to Far
go and other points in the northwest
from where the men can be distribut-
ed to the farms.
The question is bound to attract
considerable attention this winter and
1t is probable that some meeting will
be called either under the auspices OF
the Fargo Commercial club or in a
general way to take action on the sit
uation and to present the suggested
plans to railroad officials who are ex.
pected to do all in their power 10
solve the great problem Of the north.

for the paintings which are to occupy
all the wall space. These paintings
by Charles Hoffbrauer. the eminent
French artist, will be devoted to the
military history of the confederacy.
H%cffbrauer. who is regarded as the
greatest living artist in his field, says
that these paintings will be his mas
terpiece. Though he has studios in
both New York and Paris he will
spend all the ensuing TIVE years in
Richmond upon this great work.
That the Memorial Institute is to
have the mural paintings at once is
due to the munifcence of Thomas
Fortune Ryan, Wall street financter
and native Of Virginia. When Ryan
heard that the memorial association
was having difficulty in raising funds
to carry on the wor he Immediately
sent word to President Ellyson of the
association to employ the best artist
that could be found and he, Ryan,
would foot the expense. Ryan's do
nation will exceed 100000.

which he had been furnished by AL
bert johnson was beer.
Although It was given out that the
complaint "a to he mnde out innie-
diately. 1t had not been received at
the sheriff's office.
The general belief expressed among
the attorneys of the city seemed to
be that it would be impossible to make
the charge Of perjury hold water.
This may account for tho fact that
the information has not. as yet. heon
placed in the hands OF tho shcriif's
officers.
Albert johnson. against whom, stof-
erahn was testifying when his arrest
was ordered by Judge Davis was
found guilty OF selling liquor.
His chief defense was thnt he had
sold no liquor during O period OF
over a wear. Under tho law. how
/. ever, the offensc is not outlawcd un-
