TO resign
Their Action May Form Basis
10 Test Permanency Of
Civil Service

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.--Basing
his position on the fact that he took
the diplomatic civil service exanin-
alton as a career, Henry P. Fletcher,
the American minister to Chile. won't
offer his resignation before the inaug-
uration OF Wilson.
This determination will probably
form basis for a test OF the perlna-
nency OF civil service, as applying, to
the diplomatic branch of the govern
ment service i
Although Fletcher has always been
a republican, he has made public hls
intention not to follow the recognizel
custom of Offering his resignation be-
fore the Inauguration.
A number OF American ministers,
including l2 in Latin America alone.
and one ambassador at Rockhill, and
another at Constantinople, have risen
to places from the lower grades Of
service. in accordance with the sys-
TEN of examination and promotion
created by the executive order.
Many officials of this status who
can assert that civil service princi-
pies governed their appointments may
follow Fletcher's example. So far
none of the consular officers have re-
signed. A

MANDAN, N. D., Feb 26.-The
members of the commercial club are
planning to secure a stub line of rail-
road between here and Freda, this
county, and a committee has been
named to- investigate the conditions.
There is wide area in that territory
that is untouched by road and it is
figured that stub line would not only
bring lot of trade to Mandan, but
would greatly aid in the development
of that section. 1t is thought if the
road were constructed the Northern
Pacific would take it over, or at least
operate it.

Governor Frear's opening message
to the legislature today is regarded by
veteran members of the two houses as
one of the most remarkable executive
documents ever received by the law,
making body of the territory
The governor has devoted nearly a
hundred typewriter pages to sum-

along scores of lines. Matters finan-

and judicial are handled at length and
in plafn-spoken language.
He advocates public utilities COM

authority to handle labor disputes. He
urges the short-ballot, elective COM
mission form of government for Homo

He deals in detail with the financial
status of the territory and gives a COM

public expenditures, as well as the es-
Inmates for the next biennial period.
The message was presented to both
houses of the legislature, received, the
