Moorhead Department
BIG COULEE To
Be FILLED UP

The committee of the commercial
club, Messrs. Comstock, Mackall and
Welter, which was in ST. Paul yester-
day comforting with Northern Pacific
officials on several matters which were
potent to the city of Moorhead. were
assured that the big ditch which runs
along the south side of the Moorhead
yards, from Fourth to Eighth streets
and which has been an eye-sore to the
business men for many years. a thing
which has given a verdant-like ap-
p~earance to the business center of the
city, Is to be filed up. the whole length
between the streets named.
The committee was assured hat the
work of filling up the ditch would BE
done within a reasonable time. or as
soon as the needed arrangements for
material and men could be perfected.
The space occupied by the existing
ditch when filled up will be used by the
company for additional loading tracks,
a convenience long wished for by ali
the merchants in the city. One i'm
provement has already been made in
connection with this work, the rickety
old bridge across Fifth street just
north Of the railroad tracks has been
taken away and the big hole there has
been filed UP with the dirt from the
new p%ostoffice foundation.
President Mackall and his associates
on the committee were also incidental
ly informed that it is the intention of
the railroad company to raj for
the making of a stop at Moorhead for
train No. 4 n that the change would
be put into effect in the course of a
few days, probably next Monday.

WHITE STAR Line
Will BE SUED
w. j. RoTT WILL SUE THE OCEAN,
&c STEAM NAVIGATION co. FOR
DAMAGES ~ SUMMONS FILED
AGAINST ]. {. JOHNSON NOT
VALID.

Action brought against the White
Star Steamship line by Mrs. Fl. j.
Bott in district court this morning was
dismissed by Judge Pollock owing to
the fact that the had been
served against J. e. Johnson. as agent
of the White star line and Johnson
had been able to show, under oath.
that he was no longer an agent of the
White Star. Another summons will
be filed Immediately against the pres
ent agent of the line. The new case
will probably appear sometime in Mo-
vember.
1t seems that two a ago, Mrs.
Bott purchased a ticket from Fargo
through to Buenos Ayres, South AM
erica and return. After Mrs. Bott had
made the first half of her journey. she
found that the steamship agents in
South America would not allow her
to return on her ticket, claiming that
it was routed wrong She paid cash
fare for her return and is now suing
the White Star line for compensation.
Her husband, H. J. Bot, a lawyer
of Fargo, is very much incensed over
the treatment afforded his wife due, he
claims to the fault of the agent of the
line here. j. E.. Johnson, was then
agent for the White Star here but has
since severed connections with that
line and the complaint was not filed
against him.
According to Mr.. Bot, the White
Star line itself cannot be assailed but
he will have to sue for damages
through the Oceanic Steam Navigation
company of Great Britain, which he
alleges, controls the White Star line.

party is not actually dominant is adj
mitted by the administration officials,
but they believe that If such an illu-
sion exists in. Mexico 1t shortly will be
dfssipitated. not only by news of to-
days debate in the senate, but that
the expectation that congress in some
way will show it's confidence in the
president when he reads his message.
The administration hopes that when
the facts are known in Mexico, the
Huerta authorities may be more in
clined to respect the American sugges-
tions. The United States, in brief, has
proposed that Huerta resign in favor
of q provisional president acceptable
to all sides; that a suspension of hos
~tilities thereby be brought about and q
constitutional election held, the result
ing administration to receive the rec
ignition of the United States govern
ment.
Thus far Huerta has rejected the
American proposals and renewed his
demand for recognition, declaring that
his financial troubles are due to the
failure of the United States to recog-
nize him.. Official aides to the state
department, however, describe the pro-
visional presidents plight financially
as desperate and officials here believe

troops n cannot get money abroad.
These considerations and the incessant
warfare of the constitutionalists like
wise lead administration officials to
the conclusion that even though Huer-
ia may continue to scorn the sugges-
tions of the United States, the situa-
ton in Mexico viii soon d~isentangle
itself and that a policy of non-inter-
ference should be maintained for the
present at least.
It is not known whether President
Wilson will max any specific recon-
mendations in his message, but 1t was
learned that his statements of the case
would be the foundation for the next
step on the part of the United States.
The president has made 1t plain, how
ever. that he has no thought Of armed
intervention and that he was as deter
mined as eve to maintain an attitude
Of peace and friendliness toward Mex
leo.
Mr.. Lind probably will remain IN
Mexico City indefinitely. and his re-
ports indicate that he has not aban.
doned hope. President Wilson told
callers today that the envoy was not In
the least disturbed by the situation
and that he had handled it with adj
mirable tact and discretion.

INJURED EYE With

A message from Crookston this

terman, supervisor of music, who is
spending the summer vacation with
her parents at Crookston. In the midst
OF a coterie of friends last evening she
VISA standing with her hat in one hand
and her hat pin in the other. Acct
dentally one Of the party caught her
on the elbow which elevated the pin
so that the latter pierced one of Miss
Chesterman's eyes and caused a pain
full wound. She was given immediate
surgical attention and today it was

Miss Chesterman is an applicant for
the position Of supervisor of music in

dependent upon whether she can Sc

Advises to Leave Law Alone.

r. c. Dunn, in discussing the pro-
visions of the new road law Of which
he is the author, says:
If the township boards, village and
city councils and the county commits
sioners throughout the state will CO.
operate with the highway commission,
and if the legislature will leave the
Dunn law alone, in, a very few years
Minnesota will have a system of
good highways-not only good roads
radia:!ng from the twin cities, but
throughout the entire state. The
trouble is that chapter 235 will
hardly be i'll operation before another
legislature c"~nVenes, Inc no doubt an
effort will be made to amend the law.
When chapter 235 of the laws of 1913
is thoroughly understood and is far
ly in operation the rural communities
will not, permit OF it's repeal or the
amending of its main provisions. That
law was framed in the interest of
the people Of the entire state and is
fair to every section of the state, and
IL its provisions are faithfully carried
out time will demonstrates it's useful
ness.

Entcr-Ocean.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Corn trade senti-
ment is a little more mixed than of
late. The bulls see nothing but high
er prices. There are many traders
who are bullish but have sold out and
are awaiting a break before getting
in again. They believe prices are high
enough for the time being and that
the market appears to be resting.
Many of the local operators have as
sumed a trading position for the pres
ent as they are afraid to stay long
or short for any length of time. Those
who are bullish on wheat call atten-
ton to the lighter pressure and say
that the market is scoring and will
do better. There is no pressure of
winter wheat in any of the markets,
especially the soft red. What hedging
there is against spring wheat is being
placed in the northwest. Cash sales
were $780, 900 bushels of wheat; las, 900
bushels corn and los, 900 bushels oats.
Sea board reported 2O0,0 900 bushels of

Modern Miller,

st. Louis. Aug. 22.-Most reports re-
ceived this week refer to damage to the
corn crop and little attention was Civ
en- to wheat. Threshing of winter
wheat has been delayed because of
rains and in some localities it is said
that the grain shows indication of
sprOuting. There has been more plow-
ing for the fall seeding of wheat as a.
result Of the rains and cooler weather.
Less than the usual acreage has been
prepared so far but with favorable
weather this work will be facilitated.
Since farmers have been busy in the
fields blowing, there has been a mark
ed falling off in the amount of wheat
to market and there is a tendency to
hold for prices, especially since the
market has been going up.
