Washington, June 2s.-Attorney
General McReynolds and representa-
tfves Of the Union Pacific, 1t was def
nitely learned today, have reached an
agreement for the dissolution Of the
great Hartman merger. The princi-
Pies OF the plan are in harmony with
the views Of President Wilson and he
10 expected to approve 1t. The plan
VIII be submitted Monday to judges Of
the supreme court for the eighth cir
cult at st. Paul. The plans go to the
court with the governments approval
ana Qualities only with the request that
the judges give limited time before
entering final decree during which
the government possibly may make
objections not now foreseen.
Attorney General McReynolds is
sending Carroll Todd, special assistant,
to represent him at st. Paul. 1t is
generally understood that apart from
tho dissolution the attorney general
will begin proceedings under the Sher-
man law to separate the Central Pa
cihc from the Southern Pacific.
The proposal by which the Union
ings to the Southern Pacific for the
latter's interest in the Baltimore and
Ohio, Is favorably regarded, and to-
days consideration is related primar-
lily to the suggestion Of placing the re-
naming $38,000,000 Of Southern Pa

As the plan Of dissolution doesn't
provide for the separation Of the

Sandbeck's machine swerved sudden
ly and then skidded off the track.
Sandbeck was thrown on the grass on
the side OF the track, Just missing the

few bruises. he was not injured. The
accident brought the crowd to its feet
with a gasp which changed into an
expression of relief when it saw the

dust out of his hair.
Fine Location,
The fair grounds at Hillsboro are
most beautifully situated on the out
skirts of the city. From the grand
stand a splendid view is afforded of
some of the finest farming land in the
entire northwest. Large groves of
trees relieve the surrounding country
of the level, undulating nature of the
plain elsewhere evident in the state.
The notable feature Of the fields ad-
iacent to the fair grounds is the fact
that instead of being seeded to wheat
and kindred grain crops It is planted
to corn. The corn rows extends in all
directions from the fair grounds.
The fact that the fields are planted
to corn is notable in view Of the state
ment that has been made in states
farther south to the effect that corn
can not be successfully grown in
North Dakota. Some fine corn crops
have been grown in the vicinity Of
Hillsboro. The champion corn raiser
Of the northwest makes his home on
ly few miles out of the city. up the
river in the famous Goose River Loop.
Mr.. Thorpes corn is now being used
by all the better farming associations
in the northwest and by the better
farming departments Of the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific
