FORCE ROADS TO ADOPT
UNIFORM PLAN ON TRACKS

Grand Forks. N. D., May 28.-A uni
tension of industrial tracks probably
will be established by the North Da-
kota Railroad commission during the
summer A conference of railroad rep-
resentatiVes, elevator men and others
interested will be held in Bismarck
some time next month, when the prop
osition will be considered.
The proposition also includes petit
tions from a number Of elevator men
asking for a refund of money paid the
railroads for the extension of such
tracks. AS the petitions include de-
mands for the refunds amounting into
the thousands. it naturally Is an i'm
portant question.
The railroads, it was said by a men,
Der Of the commission today, have
had no uniform rule covering the ex-
tension Of industry tracks, and in some
places they have charged a high price
for putting in the track and in other
places they have done it gratis. In
some sections, it was said, they have
charged elevator men and others as
high as $500 each for extending a
track.
IF conditions are found to be as re-
ported" continued the member of the
commission, I'VE propose to change
them. The railroads should have a
uniform rule, and we probably will es-
tablish one"
The commission. together with Sec.
W. F. Cushing, have been on a tour Of
inspection since April l.
Many New S~tockyards.
I'VE found a wonderful change in
farming conditions" Mr.. Gushing said.
In the northwestern section Of the
state, we ordered in an unusually large
y~al~ &c r&l1l-.xn vi u1Is- l. n
healthy sign, for it means that farm
ers are turning their attention to hog
and cattle raising. Demands for load
ing platforms also indicate more di-
Versified farming. In many sections
the farmers have turned more to po-
tato raising, and they want the old
wheat loading platforms, which, in the
last few years, have been kept in re-
pair, rebuilt and strengthened. All
over the state we find more and more
attention being given to diversified
farming"
The commission ordered a hearing
for June IS, at Marmarth, N. D., when
they will consider the question of tun-
neling under the Milwaukee track.
The track there, 1t is said, is built on
an unusually high embankment, and
people living on the north side have
asked that the condition be remedied,
so that their children, who have to at
tend school on the south side, will not
have to climb the embankment. Farm
ers on the north side 1T is said, have
to go around two or three miles to
cross the track. They ask that a tun-
mel be built under the track, or that
some other steps be taken to remedy
| the condition.
Commissioner Mann was delegated
to go to LaMoure to investigate eHeva-
| tor trouble there.
The commission will visit Paramount
and other points in Richland county in
the near future to consider the ques-
ton of a new depot at Paramount and
platform and siding questions at other
places.

AGED WOMEN IS DROWNED

Valley City, N. D., May 28.-Follow-
ing a search of several hours the body
Of Mrs. Lucy Hayes, aged 60, was
found in the S~heyenne river at a point
about 100 feet north of the west side
wagon bridge.
According to statements by members
Of Mrs. Hayes family, she must have
left her home during the early morn
ing hours. She had little on except
her night clothing, and a shawl found
near the cemetery indicated that she
had wandered about the west side Of
the city for some time before her route
reached the river.
The body was found in comparative
Nv shallow water, with a part of her
clothing wrapped about her head and
shoulders, indicating a struggle.
It is thought by relatives that i'll

fering for several months, resulting in
temporary deranging her mind, and
that she had walked into the river
while in that condition. .
Mrs. Hayes. has been a resident Of

although she moved to Valley City
With her daughters family only about
a year ago. The body was taken tt

Roundup Would Help.

James Hopkins was in the city
this week buying hay and pasture
for Hopkins Bros. cattle for the
winter. Mr.. Hopkins makes the
suggestion that the cattlemen of
the valley, both large and small,
make arrangements for running a
regular roundup every fall for
gathering cattle and do away with
every cattleman doing his own
riding, which make many more
days work than a regular round
up would, and then every hoof in
the valley would be gathered care
fully and placed in the ranches
with half the time and trouble
and about one-fourth the men and
expense. His idea is a good one
and is we'll worth considering by
our stock people.

gymnasium at the end of the first
school week. The faculty, head
ed by President and Mrs. Duni-
way, formed a new receiving line,
greeting all the old and new stu
dents. After passing through this
line, a short time was devoted TO
general introductions, each one
helping the other to get acquaint-
ed. A senior gave a few words of
welcome, which we're responded to
by the president of the Freshman
class. This response was followed
by a hearty welcome to all by DR..
Duniway. The President was
pleased to state that the enroll
ment showed a substantial increase
over that of a corresponding time
ld5t year.
Despite the general hard times
the enrolment at the end of the
first week of the year shows an in
crease of nearly ten per cent over
that of a corresponding time last
year. New and old students are
arriving each day, which signifies
that a further increase is unques-

increase, each mail bringing in

Foreien.M ade Articles.

Washington, Oct. 6-With Am
ericsn factories forced to close be-
cause of a short demand for their
products, the official stationery
rooms of the present Democratic
congress ART foreign-made shears
and clocks, pocket knives, cutlery
and many other articles of hard
ware which bear a foreign i'm
print. The explanation il that
these foreign goods we're purchas-
ed at such a low price American
manufacturers could not compete.
but it is regarded as strange that
political expediency, if nothing
else, would not prevent the sale of
foreign goods under the very nos
es of Democratic statesmen. 1t
would not be a surprise if the
complaint of American manufac-
turers would not bring about a
house-cleauing in the House and
Senate stationery rooms.
IF any one doubts that we are
in active competition with foreign
manufacturers" said a Republican
congressman from the west, "al
he has to do to convince himself
is to make a visit to the House
stationery room, located in thu
House Office building, right across
from the Capitol"

Stock Report.

Kansas City, Oct. 5-Cattle re-
ceipts today are $4,000 heal, and
the market is steady to ten lower
on killing grades, steady to 20
lower on stockers and feeders. No
prime cattle are here, but there is
a place for some at recent quota
tions, up to 81. Last week did
not develop any important chang
es in the market, a slight tenden-
cy to weakness being evident on
the bulk of the arrivals, cow stuff
holding up good. Good Kansas
grass steers sold at 500 to 8 80
today, and when killers baked, IL
linois buyers stepped in and took
the cattle. Many buyers are here
wanting cattle that will make
some showing in the beef classes
in 60 days or less. Banks favor
loans on this kind of a proposition
and nigh corn Is against long
feeds. Therefore good feeders are
selling steady. Plain thin steers
that will require a longer feed are
10 to 20 lower, with a large num-
Der of that kind in the yards.
Thin panhandle COWS sold for the
country at 5.65, and such cattle
are strong. High bred Colorado
twos sold at 100 to 7.75 to feeder
buyers, and plain Colorados, HOO
lbs, to killers at 81 and Ills, good
killers 7.50. Veal calves are scarce
and sell up to 1850. There is a
good healthy trade in all classes
and an entire absence of anything
that indicates a shaky market.

100000 MONEY SPENDERS
Will You Help to Build a Road to Amuse
Them and Bring Money to Your
County and State.

VOuAioto bthNCilhk
over Europe every year from Am
erica, and hat 100000 have to go
SOMEWHERE next year, and
perhaps most of them for many
years to come, and that SOME.
WHERE will be the WEST.
Part of them will go to the
coast and visit the Fairs and part
OF them are going to the noun
tains to enjoy the best season
they have ever enjoyed in all their
travels.
When the European war is over
most of them will have become &C.
%customed to having stayed at home
and Seeing America" and they
will keep on staying at home.
Give this territory the advan-
tages of good roads and she will
be the king pin of the west, and
it wont take much to make her
roads, if made III the right places
to advantage to all the county and
state.
AT the coming general election
tackled on the ballot you will find
a levy of one mill to be voted for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to cooperate with the gov
eminent in raising funds to build
a connecting road with the big
Denver-Steambost turnpike, from
this valley.
This road is to connect up with
the roads on this side of the d.
vide, making a complete route
from here into Denver, giving
Rawlins, Saratoga and Encamp-
ment a direct route to Denver, and
especially helping Rawlins on her
Denver Yellowstone road, as this
is the only practical route for
seeking an outlet to Denver, and
is the only one which will insure
her the traffic. This will, of course,
be of big advantage to this valley
and the entire county. In the
matter of Snake river, they can
build ten miles of road to connect
with this route and be in CON-
munication with this valley or
Rawlins either way they want to
come, and the Elk Mountain and
Medicine Bow people will derive
the benefit of those making the
complete trip from Denver up
this way and going back via those
places and back this way.
1t is very plain to e just how
and why it will effect each section
of the county to some advantage,
as well as making one of the seem
ic routes of the west. The tax of
one mill on the dollar means that
if you pay on an assessed yalua-
ton of $1,000 that the additional
mill will cost you n dollar and
any taxpayer who would hesitate
to vote this tax, is either too stin-
gy to live or else he is dead and
don't know it.
The city council donated 500
with which to help carry on the
campaign, and the action is very
commendable. Encampment has
raised some $500 and with what
Saratoga and Rawlins will give
will make ample funds with which
to carry on a successful campaign.
The matter brought before the
people in the proper light will in
sure it's passage, and that is the
intention of the boosters.
Whoop'er upl Let's get in line
with the rest of the civilized world
and do some permanent work on
our roads and get in touch with
our neighbors.. Don't overlook
that tax and vote for it. 1t may
mean many dollars to you in q
course of one or more years.
