Shall These Millions be Wasted?

If these arteries of water traffic are to
be continued to be bottled up" then
these vast amounts of money expended
on them is a pure waste and had better
have been placed on the public high
ways. A thousand times better would it
have been for our representatives in Con-
gress to have secured like appropria-
tion for post roads, for on these at least
there would have been no railroad en-
barge, no exposure showing how COM
petitive boats have been stif1ed and com
petitive barges prohibited.

Minneapolis, Jan. 25.-Visitors to
the Minneapolis national automobile
show in the National guard armory
and annex, Feb. SIS, will see COM
ptete lines OF automobiles, aecessor-
les, commercial vehicles both big and
small, electric cars and motorcycles,
spread out over twice the space avail
able for such displays in years gone
by. ..--
Nearly all of the we'll known
makes of cars will be represented by
the special exhibits used in Boston,
New York and Chicago shows. The
Minneapolis distributors will give
splendid prominence to these special
displays, and motor buyers and own
ers will in this national show have a
display which more nearly represents
the prominence of Minneapolis in the
motor trade, than anything ever be-
fore attempted. p. &c. ~s..<-- p.
Many marked changes will be no.
ticed in the popular makes of cars
this year. "A general increasing of
value for. lower prices, is seen; many
types of self-starters are found in
nearly all price classes and nickel
mountings, demountable rims, cleo
trio lights and elaborate upholstery
are quite generally shown. Left side
drive with brake and gear shifting
levers in the center, is still another
idea which is coming to the front for
1913. &~L7. 80 SIS sz -.
Reservations are being made in
large numbers at the hotels in Min
neapolis, for it. is thought the at
tendance at the show will this year
far surpass anything ever experience
ed in Northwestern motor circles.
Buyers, agents and factory represen-
'tatives will flock to Minneapolis lit
orally by the thousands, for it is a
recognized fact. that this first nation
al automobile show will bring to the
door of the Northwest all advan-
tages, all the interest and all the
educational features heretofore en-
joyed by the east, in the Boston, New

HILL is PUT ON STAND

Washington, Jan. 25.-James J.
Hill empire builder of the Northwest,
testified before the Pujo money trust
investigation committee of the house
Friday that representation by minor
iy stockholders on directorates might
allow competitors to obtain corpora
tion secrets. ~ -
Mr.. Hill arrived at the committee
room early. He was accompanied by
his son, Louis w. Hill, and John C.
Spooner, former United States sena-
tor from Wisconsin,. After listening
to the testimony of H. P. Dawson of
J. P. Morgan & Co., the committee
called Mr.. Hill, who had previously
expressed his willingness to take the
stand and had not been subpoenaed. =
Mr.. Hill opened his testimony with
a list of his directorships in New
York and Chicago banks and in the
Great Northern and Burlington rail-
roads. Mr.. Hill said the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific rail-
roads were competitors.
When the Northern Securities
company was dissolved, he said, he
received $4,000 shares of Great
Northern and 1000 shares, of North
ern Pacific. He now has 10000
shares of Great Northern and his son,
Louis W. Hill, has 1850 shares. 49,. =,
Mr.. Hill testified he was a director
in the First National bank of, St.
Paul, one Of the largest banks in the
Northwest. He disagreed with Mr..
Untermyer's suggestion that minority
e+ockh olders- be given representation
in directorates through cumulative
voting. He said such a system might
allow competitors to obtain a corpo-
ration's secrets. ia .-s,.z. - g ?, se, q
y, On the question of interlocking
directors, Mr.. Hill said he held that
propriety of the practice rested en-
tirely upon. the character Of the in
dividual man. 81, ssss3 's,,..7a.s szs ss@ses ..

Senator Hanson stated last night
that the party had made a thorough
inspection of the plant and had found
many things which needed remedy

lie statement, however, as he claimed
the committee was sent out by the
legislature and that any information
gathered should be given the legisla-
ture first. ~ g. @
DR.. Wattam said that conditions at
the institution were not entirely sat-
-
isfactory but he did not care to 60
into detail. He did say that the com.
mittee believed that patients who
were willing to subject themselves to
the discipline of the institution 1iad
no cause for complaint. Were they
not willing to. abide by the rules of
the institution, he said that had nc
cause for complaint whatever on the
conditions. @.a. -ss.-s ~ 800
DR.. Wattam is a strong believer in
county tuberculosis sanitoria and has
been urging members of the legisla-
ture to consider favorably the bill
now before them which provides for
such a hospital in each county.

The Turkish plenipotentiary said
that the events Of Thursday were to
be expected by any one who knows
Turkey. the patriotism of her people
and the spirit of her army. The Of
toman spokesman pointed out that
only two of the European ambassa-,
doris here know by true experience
what Turkey really is.
these are Paul Cambon, the
French ambassador, and Marquis Di
Francavila, the Italian ambassador.
Both. according to the Turks, tried to
persuade their colleagues from driv-
ing the Turks to extremities.
The Italian ambassador used this
expression: "If we force Turkey to
give up Adrianople and her Aegean
islands, the Turks will turn into
wild animals
Osman Pasha declared: "Now both
the allies and the powers have had a
taste of what Turkey Is capable Of

London, Jan. 25.-Some days must
elapse before the situation arising
from the revolution in Constantine

judged, there is no intention on the
part of the new Turkish government
to force matters OF to resume hostili-
ties, If any reasonable compromise
with the Balkans is possible. - ~

last night says the council OF minis
tiers met to discuss the reply they
will make to the note of the powers,

days demonstration as the real mani
festation of the national will. -..-
The new government in finding
difficulty in filling the post of foreign
minister. The portfolio has been Of
fered to several of the Turkish am
bassadors abroad, but thus far all
have declined. Until the ministry Ia
completed by the appointment Of
Sheik VI Islam and foreign minister
it is probable that no definite steps
will be taken. ~ - - - : :.
Developments in the situation are
awaited throughout Europe with the.
greatest of interest in view Of the
fact that danger might arise through
