improvements On
The Mouse River

Minot, N. D., March 26.-E. j.
Thomas, city engineer, today receiv
ed a copy of the annual report of T.
r. Atkinson, state engineer, which
contains two items Of considerable
interest to the people of Minot and
the vicinity. ...... A..
One is in regard to the dredging
and Strengthening Of the Mouse river
from the northern part Of McHenry
county to the Canadian border.
The other contemplates the posi-
bility of diverting the channel of the
river, so that it will flow into Devils
Lake.
There is considerable sentiment in
favor Of the latter plan in the vicinity
Of Devils Lake, and it is pointed out
that some such action will be neces-
sary If the lake is to be prevented
from drying up.
According to the recommendations
Of the state engineer the stream will
be diverted near Towner and will
run almost due east to the lake.
Just how the Canadian government
would regard the loss of a perfectly
good river, is not specified in the re-
port.

WRECKED ON BRIDGE AT =
WEST LIBERTY, O.
(l'rom MONDAYS Daily.)


DR.. S, A. Zimmerman returned Sun
day after short vacation spent IN
Chicago and points in Ohio. The Doc
tor was on the train that ran into the
river at West Liberty, Ohio, and came
very close to being amongst those
that were drowned. The train that
he was on ran onto the bridge and
the engine went into the river taking
with it the engineer and fireman and
also the brakeman but the engineer
and fireman jumped in time and swan
across the river and were saved but
the brakeman was unable to swim
and was drowned. o
The train left Columbus in the ev-
ening at about 9:45 and the wreck &C.
CURED about 1870 in the morning
Most Of the passengers walked back
to Urbana where they remained four
days and were finally taken to Colum-
bus and DR.. Zimmerman lost no time
after reaching Columbus in getting to
Chicago. He stated that the various
railroad companies were very consid-
crate of the welfare Of the passengers
and that they were furnished the best
of everything obtainable.

stroying the only hope of competition
for the farmers.
In my testimony before the commit
tee was much impressed by the ef-
forts made by the Chamber of Com.
merce attorneys to keep out any EVIL
dence that would show the true posi-
ton of the Equity Exchange in this
matter. .#
What have seen AMI heard at this
investigation while in Minneapolis is
sending me back home better
friend of the Equity movement and
the Equity Cooperative Exchange
than ever. The Twin City newspapers
are not printing the facts in connec-
ton with this investigation. If they
we're, 1 believe the farmers of the
Northwest would get back of tne
Equity Exchange with all their might
am convinced that, as the facts d.
get out, the farmers will see where
they have been hoodwinked by re.
ports Of this investigation printed by
the Twin City newspapers.
This is the first real competition
the Chamber of Commerce interests
have ever had, and it is no wonder
they are fighting so hard.
This Equity movement with the
Equity Cooperative Exchange as the
terminal marketing agency is needed
by the farmers. The big fight and
the test is on right now. It will win
and become great power for good to
the farmers if the farmers can only
learn the facts. I am going to do my
best to build it up in our locality. l
believe that if the farmers and the
Equity people should lose this fight
the farmers will b. back to where
they were before f>"1ners' elevators
were started.

The case of the state VS.. Andrew VIII
liams and Charles Curran, charged
with robbery in the first degree, took
a sensational turn last night, when

the jury and the complaining witness,
Sam Ramsey, was arrested, and is now
being held on the same charge.
The alleged crime was committed in
the woods at Leeds. It now is said
that Ramsey was trying to rob Will.
Jams and Curran, when the latter, in
defending themselves, turned on him.
Later he had warrant sworn out for
them, charging them with robbing
him.

500 Trains Tied
Up By Big Snow

Kenmare, n. D., March 26.-Al traf-
fic has been suspended on the 500
railroad from Adams. Walsh county,
to Overly, Bottineau county, as re-
suit of the heavy blizzard of Sunday.
Yesterday the 500 was successful in
operating as far as Adams, but the
train had to be turned back there.
In part of the district that is tied
up trains have not operated for nearly
two weeks. There are several freight
trains and even rotary pillow tied up
by the big drifts that have completely
filed the cuts.
Sundays storm was general
throughout the state, reports received
from the southwestern district today
being to the effect that heavy storms
have ragged there.
Lankin nearly had a disastrous fire
when the Mcdonald pool hall took fire
during the height of the storm. With
the wind blowing at the rate of nearly
fifty miles an hour, and in the heavy
stowstorm, the Lankin firemen fought
the flames, confirming them to the one
building.
The building was the further south
of those in the business district, ex-
cept that there were several other
buildings on the opposite side Of the
street which were seriously threatened
for a time.
