MANY VISIT 6. N.
EXHIBITION CAR

More than 10000 people throughout
Indiana and Illinois have visited the
Great Northerm Railways Montana
Oregon-W ashington exhibition car
the last ninety days. With a splendid
display of grains, grasses, fruits and
vegetables from the ''Zone of Plenty
the car has attracted great deal of
attention, and thousands of men,
women and children have spent hours
in Il study of the exhibits OF the pro-
ducts of the soil from three states Of
the American northwest.
The exhibition Car is proving Il mag
niiicent educational feature III the
cities and towns visited and very Of
ten during the noon hour school teach
ers accompanied by entire classes
have visited the car for first hand iii
formation about the northwest. The
fine grain samples, processed fruits
and vegetables of various kinds have
proved Il source Of interest.
Interest among the thousands Of
men vino throng the ear in each place
is the free government lands in Mon
tana and Oregon. Many farmers in
Indiana and Illinois are seriously
thinking Of moving to the northwest
where they may in few years own
their own farm instead of remaining
in the central states on Il rental basis
with little prospect of ever owning
the land they cultivate.
Very few people in Indiana and H.
llnois have ever used their homestead
right and the new three year law, re-
quiring residence of only seven
months on the land each year for the
three years when 4 clear title is given.
has set hundreds of farmers to serious
ly thinking about a home III Oregon
or Montana where in a few years they
will become independent.
Louis w. Hill, chairman of the
board of directors Of the Great North
ern railway, upon whose initiative the
exhibition cars tour the central states
each year, believes the farmers of the
| eastern and central states have Il
fine future OH the government lands
of Washington, Oregon and Montana
and the exhibition car with it's minia-
ture land show to give out truthful
! information about the three states
(, where government lands are still to be
had and about the great state of Wash
ingtOn rs well AS the American north
west in general.
While the people in the cities and
towns in Indiana and Illinois where
the exhibition cars have made stops
have read literature descriptive of the
northwest, visit to the car where
the products are SO attractively dis
played serves to corroborate the facts
they have read in descriptive booklets

CUT WITH KNIFE

On Tuesday afternoon about
O'Clock Clayton Vaughan with a knife
in his hand made an assault upon
Loyal j. Matteson, cutting a deep
cash on his back just under the left
arm.
Matteson, who is a homesteader
and is making student trips rs a fire.
man on the &. n, was stopped OH the
street in front of the DpyarmOn sa- .
loon by Vaughan who insisted that
Matteson show a union card if he had
one. Matteson endeavored to get
away from the man but was seized
and struck at. He retaliated by
punching Vaughan two or three good
ones in the face and then desisted.
Vaughan stalled around about two
minutes and then rushed MattesOn
with Il large pocket knife which he {
had secretly opened. Matteson dodg-
ed and endeavored to get away but
Vaughan was too quick for him. The
cut was only about half inch deep
but that was not because Vaughan
did not strike hard enough, for he
struck to kill.
Matteson was taken to DR.. Cans
Office where the wound was dressed.
He will recover all right but is pretty
sore from the effects.
Vaughan then went into the saloon
and seized billiard cue breaking it
over his knee and again came into
the street swearing he would kill any
one who moIested him. lie entered
the Z. IL. Stone hardware store in
search of Il gun with which he spoke
Of killing off part of the population
at least. lie was unable to find II gun
80 he deliberately knocked the top of
a $500 show case i'll.
Several citizens were watching for
an opportunity TO seize him but being
aware Of the fact that he still had the
knife open il! his pocket and seemed
to be exceptionally handy with it they
desisted and let him start for the
Milwaukee, depot. where he signilied
his intention OF going to HarlOWtOn.
Deputy Sheriff Rice, who had been
to HHrlnwton on business. together
with several others met Vaughan and
his partner along the road and took
them into custody. Vaughan fought
like demon. and after getting him
into Jail it was found necessary to
chain him to the floor.

Since the Great Northern has no

out is reliable in every detail, and the
exhibits faithful display of what the

the exhibition car has been successful.
The exhibition car has been visited
by many farmers, some driving as

Nebraska Senator DpnOunces
Administration Plan as a
Partisan Measure.
\SSAILS RESERVE BOARD
SAYS Control Of Entire system
Would Be in Presidents
Hands.

w,sHiNGroS. Oct. 5--Senator Norri,
~ Nebraska issued a statement to-nigh
d.nouncng tn. Administration currrnc,
hill az a partisan measure passed through
mo House unamended solely on tn.
strength of the secret caucus and provid
.rs for n partisan political control Of tn,
ba0kins system OF the entire country.
senator Norris Is "A Progressive Repub.
lean and while In favor Of financial legis.
laton which will give the country an
,lastic currency he declares that the bill
mas many faults as II now stands.
Il am In favor Of Government control
as dlsting guished from bank control" said
senator Norris. but am more opposed
to partisan political control than | am
To any other kind The bill az II passed
tne House was a purely partisan measure
nd We would naturally expect II to have
defects that usually follow any measure
IN any subject that Is the outgrowth of
ARTISAN manipulation and secret caucus
control. The country could not expect good
legislation from such procedure.
An attempt was made tn put II through
the senate in the same way, but this has
appsarently failed. and the indications now
are that IL will be considered in public
and no one will be pledged by secret
oaucus tn vote against his own con-
scienttous convictions II this plan is
followed | have no doubt that the result
WIN be a good bill in the end.
The entire system Of banking and
currency az provided In the bill is under
the control OF what is called the Federal
reserve board. Their powers are prac-
tically unlimited. Nothing OF any i'm
portapce from the top to the bottom Of
the entire system can be done without
their sanction"
After taking up in detail the broad
powers of the Federal reserve board
through its control OF the Federal re-
serve banks and member banks Senator
Norris conunres as follows:
The Secretary Of the Treasury. the
Secretary Of Agriculture and the Comp.
iroll.r Of the Currency are ex ofiicio
members Of the board. The other four
are appointed by the President. one Of
,ern to serve two years. one four years.
one six years and one eight years. II
Will thus be seen that any President will
he able to name a majority Of the board.
The Secretary OF the Treasury. the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture and the Comptroller
of the Currency will hold their positions
At the Presidents will. and II would b. a
very easy matter for any Administration
"a completely change the complexion Of
he entire board and thereby control
absolutely at will the entire financial and
banking system of the country.
4 believe this Federal board would in
The course OF years grow into the most
powerful political machine the world has
over seen Its influence would percolate
down through the Federal reserve bank
through the members OF the local bank.
