TO KEEP HIS CABINET.
The President Will Not Let Any Mem
ber Get Away.

Washington, Feb. 16.-President
Wilson today set at rest reports mat
Secretary Houston would be made a
member of the federal reserve board
and. though he was not asked speci-
f1cally about McAdoo and the United
States senatorial race in New York.
the emphasis which the president put
on his desire to keep his cabinet in
tact was interpreted as an indication
that his influence would be against
drawing Mr.. McAdoo into the New
York situation. Recently the presi
dent asked Secretary Wilson to re-
main in the cabinet rather than to
run for the United States senate In
Pennsylvania.

NO COMPLAINT TODAY
Weather Is Ideal; Tuesday WIN Bo
Day Of Sunshine.

Not even the chronic kicker could
find any fault with the weather today.
It was everything that could be desired
at this time Of year-bright and brac-
ing. The temperature has been q
shade below normal for this date.
The weather man has promised plen-
ty of sunshine for Tuesday with q
slight rise in temperature. The ship
pers' forecast reads: Protect 36 hour
shipments north against temperature
Of 10 to Is degrees: east 15 to 20 de-
grees; west and south, 26 to 30 de-
Rrees.'' This indicated that the min
imum temperature at Topeka Tuesday
will be about Is degrees.
A year ago today the maximum
temperature was sixty-eight degrees;
in 1908 the minimum temperature for
Feb. 16 was nine degrees below zero.
The temperature today il happy
medium between the two extremes.
At two o'clock this afternoon the
wind was ten miles an hour from the
south.

BACK AT HIS DESK,
Tho President Takes Up Defense al
HIS Peruvian Policy.

Warrington, Feb. 1e.-President
Wilson was back at his desk today,
somewhat hoarse. but apparently re-
covered from the cold which kept him
in bed last week. The president told
callers he was feeling much better.
He spent most of the day on routine
business.
Recognition by the United States of
stho present administration In Peru. ~
q psovfgf0huf government. is In con-,
formity with the Latin-American pol
icy Of the Warrington government.
announced nearly year ago. in the
view OF President Wilson az set forth
to callers today. The president ce-
CARDS the circumstances in Peru as
distinctly different from those which
caused the United States to withhold
recognition from the Huerta govern
ment in Mexico. He let it be known
that the process OF setting up the
new government in Peru was consti-
tutional in every way, according to Of
ficial reports here.
He was advised that President Bill
inghurSt had abrOgated the congress
of Peru and was himself discharging
the duties Of his office unconstitution-
supreme court and all the constitu-
tional authorities in the country had
approved Of the overthrow of Billing
hurst, so that President Wilson be-
lieves there was a clear constitutional
process involved. Even the show of
force was with the approval Of con-
gress, according to the version which
reached President Wilson and the
whole government that was set up ap-
pears to reflect the wishes, not only
of the constitutional parts Of the gov
ernment. but the people.
President Wilson has not yet
learned all the details Of the Haitien
situation and will await further de-
velopments before announcing the
policy Of this government toward the
new regime there.
The president denied reports that
South America looked with apprehen-
sion at the administrators Latin
American policy. He emphasized his
belief that they would support 1t.

TO ADJOURN JUNE Is.
That Is the Plan of Democrat Lead
ers in Congress.

Washington, Feb. 16.-June Is is
the date Democratic leaders hope to
adjourn congress. President Wilson
believes the senate and. house may
work at the same time on the trust
bills. He told callers today that busi-
ness men were now showing a greater
interest in the new legislation and in
many cases 1t was very helpful in
terest. That interest, however, is not
SO active as he had expected and he
attributes that to the fact that busi-
ness men have discounted the char
acter of legislation and the measures
in a general way meet their approval.
The president incidentally re-
marked today that many objections to
the publicity features of the trade
commission bill were based on a mis-
conception OF what the bureau cor
porations already could do by present
statutes. The president sees little
difference in the interstate trade COM
mission and the present bureau of
corporations, which will be merely
enlarged by the forthcoming legisla-
ton. 1t already has broad powers of
/ inQuisition. The president looks for
early action on the measures.

Washington, Feb. 1e.-An imposing
street demonstration. followed by Inn

the commemoration hero today Of the
sinking of the U. S. battleship Maine
in Havana harbor, that historic event
which startled the whole world and
famed into flame a war fever culmi-

Because Of the high, cold winds and
the drifting SHOWS the memorial serv-
ice. instead Of being held in the cem-
etery grounds was held inside the
Cavalry Riding hall. The remainder
OF the program was carried out. how
ever. as previously arranged.
Although sixteen years have passed
since that day in February. 1893,
when the Maine was literally torn to
pieces and 26O of her officers and
crew perished. yet each year seems to
bring added veneratton for those who
lost their lives in the explosion. To-
days exercises. while centering about
the graves of the Maine heroes, took
on. however. a larger significance in

forces who had sacrificed themselves
in the line OF patriotic duty.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1914.
FIRE APPARATUS NEEDED.

The town of Valdez needs better fire fighting equipment. An electric pump that can give instant service is wanted and wanted badly. The pres ent engine requires six minutes to get up steam, two minutes to fill the main and at the best the water can not reach a fire until eight minutes after the alarm has been sent in. The alarm is sometimes slow in reaching headquarters. This auxil- iary equipment will be greatly need ed in case of a bad fire in the busi- ness section of the city. The city council should also purchase enough hose to reach to the Crawford electric pump in his carpenter shop. This pump is driven by 30-horse power motor and it will give an additional stream in case of need. The hose will cost but little and may be the means of saving considerable prop erty, especially along Wall street, which is some distance from the fire hall.

LEND A HELPING HAND.

It is time that the citizens of Val dez realize that the proper thing to do when a fire alarm is given is to go to the fire hall. Two chemicals, a hose cart, two sleds loaded with hose and other equipment must be taken from the hall to the fire. You can help. The volunteer force is small and does it's best; yet the men of the city not members of the department can aid by going to the hall. Don't ask, "Where is the fre?" but ask, What can I do?"
 Don't tell the department how to fight the fire nor to go here or there. If you think you can be of service and have a good idea, tell the chief about it. The firemen cannot expect to take orders from everybody. They obey only the chief, even should they believe him wrong. It is the only way that any kind of service can be rendered until the city is large enough to pay for and maintain paid department. Now, remember, go to the fire hall and help the force take the apparatus to the scene, and when you get to the fire don't give others.

UP
 IN THE HOUSE
ing the United States As Dry As Possible.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The House today started the debate up on the proposed law to prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquors, to prohibit the transportation of liquor except for religious, medicinal and scientific purposes. The members of the House realize that the sentiment for prohibition has grown wonder fully during the past few years.
 The Democrats from the south are almost a unit for prohibition, while congressman from the western states, and especially those in which women vote, are equally determined to pass the bill, as the sentiment is constant ly growing for the suppression of the liquor traffic, which is charged with being directly responsible for the greater part of the vice and crime and poverty in the world.

STEEL AND WOOD coNTRAsTED.

As an effective fighting machine the modern battleship or cruiser is of course incomparably superior to even the most famous three-deckers as those in which Nelson and Paul Jones earned their fame, the floating fortress of this era would be safe, almost ridiculously safe from injury, and with a shot or two from one of it's smaller cannon would end the conflict before it began by reducing the adversary literally to kindling wood.
 But when the comparison is not be- tween the old and the new ships, but be+ween two of the new ones, as it should be the advantage disappears and the steel leviathans, instead of showing the expected indifference to assault, reveal fragility and lack of endurance that would be amusing if it were not at once pathetic and appalling. Victory is not won as in the olden time by heroic persistence and dauntless courage. Either the bigger or more heavily armed ship lies beyond the enemy's range and without risk coldly and cruelty sends a helpless victim to the bottom, or, when the match is equal, the end comes with the first lucky shot plant ed in the vitals of the other.
 There is no more fighting from a shattered wreck, for the modern war ships go down with all on board at the first serious injury to their hull. and their remains afloat no spar to which a survivor of the gunfire may cling. As for durability. the old wood en ship far surpassed her naughty successor, the latter being counted out of date in five years and worth less in ten, even though she escape all the chances of war.
 The modern sea fight is as different from that of a century or two ago as is that between Aomans and Gauls, charging each other with swords, and the dismal, dreadful contact of in trenched armies now taking place on their old battlehelds. From sea, as

 The American official says Bulgar- ia's sentiment is still so strongly anti Servian-though generally favoring the Allies-that her acceptance of the plan is quite probable. It depends now on the Austrian defeat of Servia, which appears inevitable.

The Wibaux pioneer. [volume] (Wibaux, Mont.) 1907-1919, 1914-01-30

Along last spring Mr.. and Mrs.
Orgain decided to 20 east and
purchase the best dairy cattle
possible, and so they visited
some If the largest Holstein
dairy farms in the country at
Tort Atkinson. Wis, where they
purchased a number Of COWS.
Last year they ralseJ G number
Of calves and today they have
fifty head Of Holstein cattle, the
majority Of ts:on being two and
three year old he;fers. The Hol-
stein IS considered the best dairy
stock and today holds the high
est record as butter producers.
Mr.. Orgain saw that this coun-
try needed and would eventually
go into the dairy industry, and
he decided to show the farmers
that this grade Of stock was the
best for this country.
The Orgain ranch consists of
1880 acres Of two sections, and
last year he rented about $50
acres Of this out. In the fall he
had about 5OCG bushels of grain,
30 acres Of alfalfa, & acres Of
clover and 2 acres Of half-sugar
The Wibaux pioneer. [volume] (Wibaux, Mont.) 1907-1919, 1914-01-30

in Holsteins and before many
years have gone by. this coun-
try will be producing very near
all the butter that is consumed
in this section, and it will be Of
the best grade. He ships his
cream at present, and this will
open up another industry which
ought to make good in this sec
tion or in other words a cream
cry. A creamery ought to pay
right now. and in year or two
it could handle all the cream a
round here.
If the farmers will watch the
Orgain ranch and follow in the
path made by them, the matter
Of crops will be small item in
a short time. Get more COWS
is our advice, but get good ones
and the best are the Holsteins.
