yesterday which was mere a repeti-
ton of others since October 1. was of
less intensity than the general move
ment, but much greater in force than
the majority of the shocks. The post

1913 BALL TEAM
LINEUP FOR SEASON
Several Old Timers Will Wear the
Jamestown Uniform This Year.
Some New Players.

The board Of control in charge of
the jamestown baseball team for
1918 has been busy the past few
weeks lining up the squad that will
represent jamestown on the green
diamond this season, and have al
ready closed negotiations with the
nucleus Of a, fast nine, one that will
carry. Jamestown to victory again
with their batting eyes directed
mainly towards their old time oppo-
nents at Valley City on the shey-
enne.
Among the ''old timers" who will
wear the jamestown uniform will
be Hanson, star twirler for the To-
Gals the last two seasons, who will
be Jamestown's main stay on the
slab. Hanson has arrived and spent
the day renewing acquaintances.
Bill Bodman will hold down the in
itial sack. Dolly Elder. now at
Minneapolis. will probably report
May 18th, and Becker is also ex-
pected. In the. outfield will be Neil
Severn, Jim Boyle and Bert Nierling
who will act as field manager. K
Morris Severn will also join the
squad, and there are four or five
other ball players in town who will
try for the team, AS neither
Charley Wertz nor Sheeny Ploof are
expected to play here this season a
new catcher will be secured. Brewer,
formerly Sioux Falls catcher, is in
the city and will try for backstop
position. Rube Suter, an Illinois
twirler, will be here for the open
ing May Is. 4
Reports from all parts of the state
indicate many strong mines this sea-
son, and a full schedule will he ar

STABBED WRONG MAN.

Fargo, May 6.-Pearl LaBelle, or
Sarah LaPearl, as she was sometimes
known, half breed Indian, stabbed
man by the name of James Kauff-
mier in chop suey joint in the
lower part of the city. Kauffmier
and friend dropped in for lunch
and had never seen the woman be-
fore. She told her victim, how
ever, that she was going to kill him,
that he had not been true to her.
She drew from her dress a butcher
knife and made lunge at him.
striking him in the right breast, the
knife penetrating an overcoat and
going into the lung. A doctor pro-
nounced the wound dangerous one
but the man is likely to recover. It
is believed the woman mistook him
for another man.

RIVER THREATENS
TO CHANGE COURSE
-
WOULD MAKE FEDERAL PUMP
ING STATION AT WILLISTON
ALMOST USELESS.

By threatened change in the
course Of the Missouri river the Will
liston federal irrigation station is in
danger of being made worthless.
Three and half miles north of Will
liston the bank of the river has fall
len SO low that the annual June rise
of the river will flow over it into an
old backwater channel which will
carry the water west and south of
Williston about three miles, and this
channel would become permanent.
The city's water supply also would
be cut of.
Williston commercial bodies have
addressed plea to the United States
army engineers at Kansas City ask
ing that immediate steps be taken
to prevent the threatened change.
The Commercial club adopted the
following resolutions on the subject:
Whereas, it has been reported by
river men that there is danger of the
river changing from it's present chan
mel in front of Williston to the old
backwater channel which extends
along the bluffs aDout three miles
south of Williston, and
Whereas, Consulting Engineer
Harry A. Storrs with level and rod
determined that the bank for a dis
tance of one half mile about three
'and one-half miles above Williston
is SO low that an ordinary June rise
will throw the water over into the
old backwater channel, and from his
observations concluded that the riv-
er is liable to overflow it's banks for
distance of half mile with a depth
in some places of two or three feet
at which place the high bank is very
narrow, and being rapidly cut
through, so that before the June rise
is over it is quite likely to cut the
bank away and let the whole river
flow into the old slough, which would
be likely to result in the river con-
tinuing to follow that channel after
the June rise is over, and
Whereas, this changing of the
course of the Missouri river will
leave the city of Williston without
water supply, and will render use
less the United States reclamation
service irrigation system which has
been constructed at this point with
great cost to the United States gov
ernment, leaving the power plant of
the irrigation system useful only to
supply light and power to the city of
Williston, therefore
Be it Resolved, that the Williston
Commercial club and the commits
sioners of the city of Williston re-
spectfully request that the army en-
gineer at Kansas City send an in
spector Immediately to examine the
condition of the river bank at this
point and see If work cannot be done
to close up the old channel and pre-
vent the river from changing it's
course and reverting to it's old chan
nel.''

HEAVY WESTERN
LUMBER TRADE
BIG SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
FIND FINANCIAL STATE.
ysS5 " MENT. Fl

New York, May 1.-Afte1 appor-
toned charges, the Northern Pacific
earned just about Z per cent on its
stock in the nine months ending
March 81. In the same period the
same company's final surplus after
deducting nine months dividends
was over S$2,0O0.o 900 better than for
the corresponding nine months of
1912.
March, with q IA per cent increase
in gross earnings, was considered q
good month by the management de-
spite the fact that higher expenses
brought net earnings down to with
in $4s.1s4 Of last years figure. On
account Of the heavy east bound lum-
/, ber movement, Northern Paciflc's
empty car mileage west bound is
*large and tends to raise the trans
portation costs.
Lumber Trade BoOms.
This impetus In lumber traffic is
of comparatively recent origin. For
q long time the lumber trade in the
far northwest was quiet and at times
dull. The first of the present calen-
dar year saw turn for the better
and since then lumber car loadings
have shown pleasing increases.
This traffic is long and forms a
very important part in Northern Pa
sific's freight tonnage, constituting,
as it does, about 80 per cent of the
total. At the present time there is
no compensating movement of west
bound freight to fill the cars which
are needed on the coast to take care
of the timber shipments.
Liberal In Repair Work.
Aside from the increase in gross
earnings. Northern Pacific's close at
tention to maintenance work and the
. beginning of a liberal program of re-
pair work have featured the year. OF
the nine months gain OF $7,606. .941
in gross earnings, about so per cent
has been consumed by higher ex-
penses. The more liberal outlay for
maintenance accounted for $685.
900 of this increased expenses.
Larger transportation costs account
ed for most of the rest. Taxes were
$455,931 higher than last year in
the nine months.
Northern Pacic officials say that
the general outlook for business fs
fair. April earnings will show some
thing of an increase. but expenses for
April, May and June will be higher
because maintenance work is being
pushed in every direction.

church building. For the past six
months and more, the present small
church building has been over
crowded at nearly every session, and
it has been necessary to bring seats
into the aisles and to provide for the
congregations increasing seating de-
mands. Another necessity has been
felt for some time, in the; need of
increased accommodations, for the
Sunday school. There are over 200
Sunday school scholars and at pres
ent they are crowded together in a
space not suitable for the purpose.
The increase of church capacity is
also required of the local congrega-
tion, from the extra demands by coll
lege students, and by the increasing
transient church going population.
/ The church society owns the prop
serty consisting Of 125 foot frontage
by 40 foot depth. on. the corner Of.
Pacific street and Fourth avenue

church manse. and the present
