Wilson's determination to read his

TERDAY-USE N. p. TRACKS
(Erom TUESDAYS DaiN.l

From Tuesdays DaiyD
500 railroad service is disrupted for
the time being on account of a wreck
yesterday ON the main line of the
road near Enderlin.
The cause of the wreck cannot be
learned, but that it was serious ap-
pears certain, as it is rumored that at
least two emigrants were killed, a
large number injured, and several
horses killed.
The wreck so completely blocked
the track that it was found necessary
to route all trains over the southwest
ern branch of the Northern Pacific at
Sheldon, through Fargo, to Detroit,
where they were again switched to the
500 tracks.

LETTING TRUNK SEWER CONTRACT
AGAIN POSTPONED BY CITY COUNCIL
Alderman Curren Declares That Sewer Commit
tee Should Hold Public Meetings Instead
Of Executive Sessions.

Alderman Clark was on his feet tc
make a vigorous denial of what he
termed Alderman Currents implica
tons. Mr.. Clark said, this committee
, has been working for the best interests
Of the citizens and tax payers of Val
| ley City. It's meeting was held &C
cording to law, and it has in no way
gone beyond it's authority in consider.
| ing the bids offered here tonight.
1T had no authority to close con.
tract with any one, except by the con,
sent of the council, and it has attempt.
ed to take no such authority. The bids
are here for the inspection of the
council. 1t is their duty to dissect all
bids offered, and the sewer committee
does not wish to relieve the council Of
any work on that score"
Mr.. Clark then stated that the COM
mittee wished further time to consid-
Ter the bids for the reason that this
was big proposition, and should not
be gone into hastily. Thousands of
dollars are to be spent, and the COM
mittee, in working for the best inter-
ests of the people believed that the
work should not be rushed in the
slightest degree.
The sewer committee will meet
again this afternoon, at which time
the bids will be further considered
The members are Mayor Platou, and
Aldermen Clark, Krogh and Lee.
Referring to last nights meeting,
Mr.. Curren today said that he serious.
ly objected to the letting of the con-
tract at this time, as he believed the
bids were so complicated it was i'm
possible to determine accurately the
cost of the construction work, unless
new bids were called for.

Declaring that the trunk sewer com
mittee was meeting behind closed
doors instead of in public session as
they should, and that there was 'un
derground work going on" Alderman
w. J. Curren precipitated the first row
in last evenings otherwise peaceful
council meeting, Immediately follow.
ing the report of the sewer committee.
The statement by Mr.. Curren was
made when the sewer committee re.
ported to the council that they had
been unable to come to any conclus-
ion as to the bids, partly because they
were beyond the bond limit. The re-
port also stated that the bids were in
their opinion, too high, and the COM
mittee believed it possible to either re-
duce the number of items so as to bring
it within the bond limits, or else to re-
.ject all bids and call for new ones,
which could be accepted. If necessary,
the committee proposed to reduce the
amount of work to be done, by con-
siderable degree.
Immediately following the report
Alderman Curren arose and addressed
the council He stated that in his
opinion the sewer committee was not
working for, but against, the interest
Of the tax payers of Valley City.
He said that the committee had no
business to be meeting behind closed
doors, as they had, and that their
methods snacked strongly of "un-
foreground work"
At this point Mr. Curren was inter-
rupted by Mayor Platou, who ordered
him to take his seat, that he was out
Of order. The alderman continued his
statements, and was again interrupted
by the Mayor, who rising vigorously
instructed him to stop talking and
sit down. Mr.. Curren finally complied.
He had hardly taken his seat before

Crushed Boys Skull.

What seems to be rather a Sc
lious affair occurred near lower
Front street Sunday morning
between 8 and 9 o'clock when
Dave House, q boy about IA
years of age, was struck over the
head with an oar in the hands Of
Herbert Spaulding, a young man
about 81 years old, and stepson
of r. C. Horton of this city.
1t seems that Spalding was be-
fore a justice court last week
khen Dave House was a witness
against him, this causing hard
feelings between the two, Spald-
ing making threats against
young House.
Sunday morning a party were
going to the river for swim
and boat ride and on the way
Spalding walked up behind
House, striking him over the
head with an oar inflicting a Sc
rious wound and rendering him
unconscious.
The boy is at the home OF his
PARENTS on lower Front street,
who live in what is known as the
Big Four Restaurant.
Spalding was arrested by
Marshal Carouthers and placed
in Jail pending a preliminary
hearing, which will probably not
be given until there is a change
in the boys condition.

Good Roads Committee Reports

Good Roads Committee Reports.
The vice-presidents and off,
GERS of the Jackson County Good
Roads Association met Saturday
at the city hall in conference
with County Judge C. B. Coe and
many of the road overseers of
the county.
The committee selected to de-
termine the best course to pur-
sue for better road building, re-
commended that the roads of
the county be graded and drag
used during the winter season
and that drainage be made q
feature of road work.
R. H. Siler of Glaize Township
reported the results he had ac-
complished on half mile of
road that he had dragged after
g rain, when the dirt was soft
but not muddy, stating that one
application of the drag had Civ
en- the road a crown Off 1-2 inch
es. His neighbors were so high
Iv nleased with the result of his
work, that seven of them have
promised to build drags and use
them upon the public road in
front of their farms.
That fences have been placed
to take up part Of the roadway
near Tupelo was reported and
steps will be taken to see that
they are set back by the proper
ty owners.
The association owns the drag
purchased for the King demon
stration and this has been offer
ed to the city of Newport for use
upon the dirt streets after every
rain. We hope the city council
will accept the drag under these
conditions and become one of the
demonstrators Of what the drag
will do.

FAMILY HAVE
A CLOSE CALL
In Early Morning Fire Which
Destroyed Home of Joe
Younger.

About $3.50 Monday morning,
Mrs. Joe Younger was awaken
ed by the smoke filing the room
end quickly awakened her hus-
band and sleeping children just
in time for the family to make
their escape from the home,
which was then in a blaze. In
Fact, Mr.. Younger's hair was
singed, so close was his call from
the flames.
The fire is thought to have
been caused by the electric VIII
ing coming in contact with the
roof, and the blaze was under
such Roadway when the alarm
was sounded that practically
nothing was saved from the
house.
The home of DR.. L. T. Hays,
next door, was also soon ablaze
and required so much water to
eXtinguish the flames that the
furnishings and contents are
almost . complete loss from
water soaking.
Mr.. Younger estimates his
loss at $3.50 to $500, with insur-
ance for $500. He lost all the
records of Modern Woodmen of
America, except his large ledg-
er and requests that all mem
bers of the order, who have not
paid their monthly dues re-
port at once.
The house was owned by A.

Dixie Catches All OF En-.

There was a benefit perform
-ance for the Confederate Wild
owls Home in Baltimore last
week, and when Dixie and
MY Maryland were sung the
shouts and applause shook the
building. One might think It
was q regular old rebel occa-
sion, but when the "Star Span
tgled Banner" was sung, the
greeting Of the old tune was
just as hearty as of the others,
plainly showing that while old
memories are still sacred, loyal
Ity to the flag is as strong and
fervid.
We, up north here, cheer DIX
ie". There is no prejudice a.
gainst it because the boys IN
gray liked it so. The old mem
cries of antagonism and STRIFE
have melted into loyalty that
is akin to brotherhood. We used
to think Of the rebs as foes but
that was long time ago, ano
today We can sing Dixie with the
best Of them. No true patron
harbors resentment. - ONO

CROP PROMISE
BEST IN YEARS
For States West of MissisSippi
River While Central and
Eastern States Lose
Ground.

Correspondents reports make
it quite clear that the crop prom
Use west of the river is the best
OF recent years for that terrific
ry as a whole and that in Ten
nessec, Mississippi and Alabama
IS only slightly less good.
Growth in these districts dur
ing the week was not rapid owing
to low temperatures, but no
harm has been done that few
days Of warmth will not quickly
overcome. Altogether in these
central and western states the
size Of the plant does not run so
large as it has done in other
years. But it is most healthy
and seems quite ready to make
rapid growth once sustained
warm weather begins. But Of
more importance at this season
than mere size is the perfect
state of cultivation and soil filth,
which is the striking character
istic of the entire territory.
During the seven days rainfall
was generally abundant and
beneficial.
In Georgia ard the two Caro-
linas the condition does not ap-
pear so high as at the close Of
last week, the loss being due to
record breaking cold for June
and continuous daily rains.
Practically no field work was
done and there is much fear of
grass. Weather of the coming
week will have en- important
bearing on the outcome in these
states. If dry and warm inn
provement will be quick. If
more rains fall losses will occur,
which only a favorable later
season can correct.

Little Rock,June 16.-Though
Federal questions are involved
in the Senate bill which will
make Arkansas dry if upheld by

it will not be necessary for them
to resort to the United States

issue writ of mandamus fore
ing Secretary of State Earle w
Hodges to submit the bill to tie

itiative and Referendum, as ask
ed for by liquor leaders.
Those who are fighting the
bill, and endeavoring to have il
left to the people, declare that if
the Supreme Court sustains the
decision of Judge Guy Fulk, OF
the Second Division Circuit
Court, of Pulaski county, it will
destroy the purposes of the mi
tiative and Referendum amend
ment. They claim that if the
legislature can set a specific
date for 9 bill to become effec-
tive, and thus rob the people of
the right of q referendum on the
bill, they have made the consti-.
tutional amendment q thing ot
no value. The Supreme Court
has already sustained the legaf--
ity of the Initiative and Referen--
