BISMARCK HAS HIGH HOPES
Expects Soon to Be on Main Line Of
the 500.

S'S WV
That Bismarck is soon to be on the
main line of the 500 road is no longer
a question, but it is simply a matter of
time. Developments along that line
are being made every day and when
the 500 line has completed it's links
which go to make up it's coast line
Bismarck will be one of the promi-
nent points.
Material is arriving right along at
Plaza for the coast extension from
that point west. Next fall will see
this line completed into Montana and
from there west it will be a direct
route to Sand Point, Ida, where the
main line will be joined, and then it
is a short distance into Spokane.
Arrangements are already complete
for an addition to the round house at
Bismarck. The material and the ma
chinery is now on the ground, and
work will commence on this addition
within two weeks. This will bring
several families into Bismarck at once
and there will be more to follow.
When these connecting links have
been completed the coast trains will
cut off at Hankinson and lead directly
from that point through Bismarck to
the coast.

Another Minute and Traveller on
TrestIe Would Have Been Lost.
With a fore leg Of his horse caught
in a trestle Of the Southern Pacific
acros the Mammoth wash, just
across the Colorado river, within a few
hundred miles of the end Of a 1900
mile journey, William L. Gilleland al
most decided that the end Of the long
trip was at hand.
ut was thrilling, since I had timed
the trains expected across the span
and knew that it was a matter of min
utes in getting the animal free or be-
ing crushed to death by a limited train
that was almost due" he said as he
told the Los Angeles Times Of some
Of the incidents of his long horseback
ride from Sheridan. Wyo.. to Los An
geles.
Gilleland says it was an anxious hour
when he was forced to move first one
leg and then another Of his horse to
the different ties in an endeavor to
extricate the hoof which had been
caught in a peculiar manner. LAS the
moments passed and effort after effort
proved futile 1 began to count the mo-
ments to the end, when suddenly the
horse tipped to II side, gave a little
lurch and was free" he said. ut was
then a race to where it was possible to
jump from the trestle and only a few
moments after the fast train, speeding
along at a terrific rate, tore past"

News Of the Week From Vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
JUDGE WINCHESTER IS DEAD
Well Known Jurist Expires Suddenly
of Hemorrhage of the Brain at
Bismarck.

Judge Walter H. Winchester died
suddenly at Bismarck of hemorrhage
of the brain.
He was probably the best known
judge in North Dakota, having occu-
pied the district bench for more than
twenty-five years, or since the first day
of statehood. He was a candidate for
denomination at the primaries last
June on the non-partisan ticket, but
withdrew in favor of w. L. Nuessle
of Washburn before the November
election, retiring from office Jan. l,
1913. Mrs. Winchester had been in
poor health and her illness Influenced
him to abandon the fight for re-elec-
ton.
Judge Winchester served in the fed
eral army throughout the Civil war.
He was a member of John M. McPher-
son post, G. A. R., and occupied a
prominent position in Masonic and
Knights of Pythias circles. He was
also a member of several other or
CARNATIONS, including the state and
local bar associations.
He is survived by a wife, a son,
Harold B. Winchester of Bismarck,
and two daughters, Mrs. N. o. Ram
stad and Mrs. Fred l.. Conklin, both Of
Bismarck.

N GOOD LOAN RISKS
Views Of a Prominent Minneapolis
Banker.

Views OF a Prominent Minneapolis
Banker.
That farmers who raise stock are
better loan risks than those not in
terested in Investigation is the con-
tention Of E. w. Decker, the Mime
apolis banker, in the current issue of
the Northwestern National Bank Re-
view. Similar Views were expressed
by Mr.. Decker on a recent visit to
Grand Forks, where he addressed the
Bankers association meeting. Speak
ing of the agitation for the raising of
more stock as an aid to the develop
ment Of the Northwest, MI. Decker
says:
Furthermore, this agitation Is not
being carried on primarily for the pur-
pose of reducing the cost of living to
the consumer, though we believe such
benefit would result. Rather, it is for
the purpose of increasing the we'll
being of the Northwestern farmer. AS
he thrives, so also does the merchant,
the manufacturer, laborer, banker and
others. He is the basis of our pros
perity.
Only two of all the banks address,
ed report anything like a satisfactory
mount Of stock raised in their COM
munities, most Of the reports showing
only from l to 10 per CEN of the farm
ers raising an adequate amount"

WOMEN MAY GET SUFFRAGE
After Heated Debate House Passes
Senate Bill.

The house passed Senator Bronson's
woman suffrage measure, submitting
the question at the next general cleo
ton. Passage of the bill followed a
heated debate, in which woman suf-
frage was assailed by Representative
Campbell, who declared it threatened
the destruction of the American
home. On roll call only Twenty-Five
members voted against the measure.
Considerable surprise was manifest
when the house failed to pass the SEN
ate bill appropriating $4,000 for
North Dakota's proposed exhibit at
the Panama-Pacific exposition.
Representative Weis moved to re-
consider the bill and upon motion Of
Representative Lambert it was placed
upon third reading and final passage.

~ and 20.
The annual meeting of the North
Dakota State Federation of CONNER
cial Clubs will be held in Grand Forks
on March 10 and 20. The dates were
set at a meeting of the executive com
mittee held recently and tentative
plans for a splendid program have
been made. The business session of
the organization will be held on March

be devoted to a get together meet
ing, with short talks by delegates on

The principal speaker for the SEES
sion on March 20 will be B. M. Rastall,
the industrial commissioner of the Du-
luth Commercial club and formerly
connected with the University of Wis
consin. Professor Rastall is an au-
thority in his department of the work.

gresham H. T. Hegelson present. DR..
j. NJ. Gillette of the university will
speak and several of the delegates
will be included in the program.

that every commercial club in the
state. whether a member or not,
should be represented at this meeting.
The purpose of the meeting is to
bring the various commercial bodies
of the state into closer unity for the
mutual good of all, for only by CO.

Will Furnish "Motor Juice"

Gasoline will probably be the most
important Ignite coal byproduct, ac-
cording to the analysis made by Dean
Babcock of the school of mines at
Grand Forks. From 10000 to 1900
cubic feet Of gas can be produced
from a ton of dry Ignite coal. Case
line is now being made on a COM
mercial basis from natural gas and
the composition of Ignite gas and the
natural gas is much the same. An
other %byproduct is tar, as a ton Of lig-
mite will yield between twenty and
thirty pounds Of tar and it is rich in

CUBS TAKE GAME
ON -FOUR CLOUTS

That there are different ways OF do
ing the same thing is conviction of
Johnny Evers. Many times this spring
he has proved that ball games can be
won by means of many base hits. Yes
terday he showed Chicago's fans how
they can be won with few base hits,
for his athletes trimmed Joe Tinker's
rufhed Reds to / IN a rampant COM
bat in which the Cubs gathered only
four hits.
In order to do that it was necessary
for the west siders to get on the
bases by other means than hitting the
ball. When three rounds had been
fought and the Reds already had
scored a run the Cubs changed their
plan Of attack, for In the three rounds
they had discovered q tendency on the
part of Cincinnatis young hurler to
be wild. They had also learned he was
a difficult man to hit
Consequently the Cubs went up to
the plate In the fourth carrying a bat
to be used only in emergencies. The
result was that three of them walked
in that one inning and this along with
some bunglesome fielding by the enc
my and one safe blow by vic Safer put
the Cubs one to the good in a hurry
lucky home run by wee Tommy
Leach in the fifth yielded another run
and the waiting method added another
in the sixth which practically assured
a victory.
