TRAFFIC COLLISION
ACTION REQUESTED
Baltimore Merchants Ask At
torney General to Break
Ship-RaiI Alliance.

Declaring that all water and water
and rail rates on the lines attacked are
equal to all rail rates between the same
points. and asking that the alliance
between the rail lines and steamship
companies be broken, the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, of
Baltimore. has filed petition with the
Attorney General asking him to bring
proceedings under the Sherman act
against the following companies: New
Haven, New England Navigation, New
England steamship. Hartford and New
York Transportation. Pennsylvania rail-
road. Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington railroad, Delaware rail-
road, Baltimore. Chesapeake and At
Iantic railway, and the Maryland. Della
ware and virginia railway.
Brought down to real control, this
imposing list Of names SINNERS down
to two. the New Haven and the Penn
ven stock is owned by the Pennsyi-
vania. The Pennsylvania controls the
steamboat lines mentioned that ply on
the Chesapeake bay exclusively. while
the remainder are controlled by the
New Haven.
Washington is directly affected, for
not only does the Pennsylvania enter
this city but also one Of the controlled
steamboat lines. the Maryland. Della
ware and virginia. More important
however, is the fact that higher rates
to Baltimore from New York and New
ENGLAND mean also higher rates to
Incidentally. rates to the South are
also affected by this alliance, for the
Merchants and Miners Company oper-
ates a line from Baltimore to Savannah
and Jacksonville. and from Philadel-
pflia to Savannah.

railroads can overlook the fact that 1t
is proceeding with the fact in mind
that Government ownership may come

Members of State commissions, inter

Guiding railroad men themselves, are
not overlooking the fact that some Gay
the valuations which are worked out
may become the basis for the taking

Partly because Of this there is already
on stressful fight by the railroads to
snove values up and one by the oppOs-

In this connection NAV be mentioned
the question of Government ownership

Hudson River shad.

You may have noticed that your
shad this year was Wilted and taste
less and far from the fish upon which
you dotted in your childhood. For
once you are right. It is not that you
are growing old, but that the best
shad in the business, those from our
own Hudson river, have passed out
Last winter the shad fishermen put
out their nets as usual. But nothing
happened. The shad Is tempera-
mental beast, and 1t was thought at
first that change in weather would
bring him around. But wintry spring
came and went without results. And
now the oldest fishermen are selling
out and moving to other waters.
Just why the thistle Of the fish fam.
lily has taken sudden dislike to his
old haunts every one is at liberty to
guess. Probably the fact that each
year the Hudson Is becoming more
like a sewer and less like a river has
something to do with the case.
At any rate, here passes really

ANDREWS ON THE INAUGURAL
BALL.

.Joha Andrews, who is deputy sec
rotary of state, and who writes an
occasional Bismarck Letter" for his
paper, the Lidgerwood BroadaXe,
seems to be peevish because the com
mercial club did not engage a Bis
marck orchestra for the inaugural bali
to be given January 10 in this city.
John says the club should have pat
ronized home industry . Probably he
is right. He is a good many times and
his Bismarck Letters" are always
mighty interesting reading whether
you agree with him or not. But. To
return to the orchestra end Of the
story. In the first place the inaugural
ball Is not q Bismarck affair, but Il
state society function, given in honor
of the governor Of the state and to
which the entire state is invited. 1t
just happens that this year the ma,
tional guard annual meeting will be
held here at the same time as the big
society event. And the National
Guard band will be here for that meet
ing, The band is a state institution,
the ball is a state event and the gov
ernor is the head of the militia in the
state, SO what else is the right thing
!, to do but engage the regimental or.
chestra to furnish the music? Bis
marck has two good orchestras, either
of them capable of furnishing music
for any sort of an aston, but the
commercial club saw fit to engage the
state orchestra for the state ball and
that deal will probably stand in spite
of the slap on the wrist given by John;
who will probably jump in now and
burn us up for this snuib. a.

BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY
.Ransford D. Buchanan.

Admiral Rarsford D. Bucknam, ia
miliarly known as buchanan Pasha,
vice-admiral of the Turkish navy and
chief naval adviser to the former Sui
tan Abdul Hamid, was born in Hans
port, Nova Scotia, Jan. 2, 1869. Both
his parents were lost at sea and his
own life reads like a e novel. His
earliest youth was spent with his
grandparents in Maaitoba, but while
still a boy The took up a life on the
great lakes. Longing for more extern
sive travels. he went to Eoston and
shipped ON an Australian packet. Al
ter a shipwreck and numerous other
adventures he returned several years
later to the United States and became
master of a steamship on the great
lakes. But he again tired OF this
berth and proceeded to Sam Francis
co, where he accepted q sposition as
captain of a Pacific liner When he
left THE Pacific it was to enter the EN-
ploy of the Cramps at Philadelphia.
Here he was assigned to deliver a
war ship built for the Turkish govern
ment. In Turkey he won the favor OF
the Sultan and became the latter's
chief naval adviser. He remained
virtually the head of the Turkish ma
wy until the overthrow OF Abdul Ham,
i'd. 81.

FARMERS CLUBS.

The organization of farm clubs over
the state is n Of the best moves in
the direction of better farming that
has ever been made in North Dakota
in the interests of better farming.
Practical experience is always the
best teacher and that where there is a
gathering of farmers there will be talk
and discussion Of methods and results
will follow is a certainty. While one
of the main objects Of the organiza-
ton of farmer clubs is the promotion
of the social life on the farm, when
men of the same trade or profession
gather there is always more or less,
and generally more, trade talk. One
who has made a success of a certain
line will ten his plans and he in turn
will hear of the work Of someone else
who has made. a specially of another
line. It is planned also to have ad.
dresses by men who have had both
practical and theoretical experience
in agriculture and the words OF these
lecturers will be listened to and then
probably discussed, Different com
munities demand different methods
so that the club plan is a good n as
the members are always from one
community and will be able to discuss
subjects of vital interest to themselv,
es. One thing must be guarded against
and that is the political end Of the
game. AS soon as the club develops
into a political body it might as well
disband as sooner or later there will
come trouble and surely a breaking
UP Of the organization.
