at $40 p. m. In the working of the
signal plant he found one. wire work
ing a little bit out of order and he
went down to the track to adjust it
making it work tighter. He was there
perhaps ten minutes when he saw the
Great Northern train was coming and
was back of the long distance signal.
He went up to the tower threw up the
west bound N. p. signal, waited for
the time lock and threw the n. p. de-
rail over, then he heard No. 1 going
yer the pipes and looking saw that it
had gone through the derail. Mr..
Colliton said: Board was against
them all the time. L did not make
a change, 1 could not do it as the N.
P. was open. The G. N. train was
better than 55 minutes late" Wit
ess said he did not see French nor
did he go to see the engine.

to a juror the witness said he always
made it a point to notice the signals
when a train was near.
Walter E. Shepherd, supervisor of
signals for the Great Northern, was
and fully explained to the jury
the workings of interlockinS plants
and signals. The tower in question
had been inspected by him about three

in good order. He instructed the. men
in the tower as to the handling of the
plant. He said hot and cold weather

Members of the jury questioned the
witnesses very closely as to points On
which they were not very clear.

PROGRAMME OF GOOD ROADS CONVENTION TOMORROW.

After spending the morning hours in.
seeing the work of the different road
machines out on North Broadway
north of Fifteenth avenue and Just
south Of the Interstate Fair grounds,
the convention of the North Dakota
Highway Improvement association
convention met at $3.50 this afternoons.
There was in the ne~ighborhood of
100 present and among them were
many men from different parts of the
state.
The demonstration of good roads
building that was given this morning
was attended by q large number of
people not only of the city, but of the
state, and there We're several ma
chimes in operation. 1t was plainly evil
dent that all in attendance showed
much interest in the work, for the OPP
orators were asked and answered
many questions in a clear and concise
manner.
These roads that were looked after
and at which the demonstrations were
made will remain for a long time as
an object Lesson, for the work was well
done. A tractor, sroad-making machine
and a drag constituted the greater part
of the machinery that was shown and
1T was most interesting.
This meeting was called by the con-
Vention people, and it is hoped that in
time 1t will be a great big affair, for
it is thought that everybody should be.
interested in this work.
The Meeting Opens.
The Fargo Auto club members took
the men out to the scene of the DEM
constructions and brought them back
and they were. equally pleased with
the visitors. 1t was after 2 o'clock
when t.. B.. Hanna. governor Of the
state of North Dakota, called the
meeting to order, having been intro
duced by j. p. Hardy, secretary of the
association as well as of the Fargo
Commercial club, and he said that his
excellency did not need an introduce
ton at the hands of Ing one. He well
coined the people to the city In behalf
OF the commercial club and said that
he had hoped in time to see a very
large attendance at these meetings,
for there was nothing so important as
good roads.
Governor Hanna's Address.
HI subject of Governor Hanna's
address vas Good Roads and How to
Get the Money to Build Them.
The governor, in beginning his adj
dress. said that the work of building
good roads was a question that was
trying to be mel in every state in the
union. but that the western states SO
far had not lone all they could along
these lines. He believed that the time
was now here for that work to begin
in earnest and to be carried on with
vigor. He thought that the best asset
a state could have was the good roads.
He told of the observations that he
had made in the east and said that
everywhere in the east the question
was looked on with common sense
He told of a Mr.. Dupont, a relative
of the celebrated powder manufacture

PolNTMENT OF GABRiELsoN.

The national convention of the Sons

accredited delegates.

satisfaction by the convention. AS
soon as the message arrived, the con-
vention unanimously voted to send a
message of appreciation to Governor
Hanna for this recognition Of their
president, and for his support OF the
Lincoln memorial.
Mr.. Gabrielson greatly appreciates
this honor which has been given him
as we'll as his unanimous reelection

Iers, who had taken a great deal If
interest in road building In Delaware
and said that in passing away he had
wtlled $3,000,000 to that state for road
building. This was a practical
demonstration of what one man could
do.
There Are Three Ways.
The governor spoke Of the three
ways that might be found fayorabIet
in road building.
One of these ways was to have the
federal government build great trunk
lines, n n had already been
planned which would extend from
Fargo to- Beach in this state. this be-
ing but a continuation OF the great
road that is being agitated from coast
to coast, in fact from Brooklyn to
Seattle, and he talked at length on
what a great blessing this would be
to the entire country and how the
branch roads could branch out from
this great highway.
The second way was one that he
had advocated many times. This is the
idea of bonding the state for a large
sum of money and to retire the bonds
by the Use Of the automobile taxes.
He thought this plan was a feasible
one.
The third plan was to get each
AAANS- -
from the county funds and have this
added to by the state governments. He
believed that there was q. way of set
ting at this good roads business in
such a manner that the entire people
would not In the end feel the expense
to any great extent.
Governor Hanna was listened to at
~tentively and it was the unanimous
sense of those present that 1T we one.

J. A. Dodge, who is here as a repre-
sentative of the good roads depart
ment of the national government, was
the next speaker of the day. and he
delivered a splendid address on the
question from the federal government
standpoint; The balance of the aft
ernoon was taken up by the question
box which was in charge OF Prof. T.
A. Hoverstad, and there were many
questions asked and answered in a
satisfactory manner.
The entire meeting was filled with
interest and 1t is hoped that there will
be a much larger crowd here tomor-
row at 2 o'clock, when the second
meeting will be held. AS today, the
morning hours will be spent in watch
