CANAL TO OPEN
WITHIN 10 DAYS

Panama, May 5.-Plans are being
matured under the instructions Of Gov
ernor Goethals to put a Panama rail
road steamer through the canal with
in ten days, with the approval Of Sec
rotary of Wal Garrison. At the same
time a cargo steamer also will go
through, and after that the canal will
be open for so much tram as the work
on the Cucaracha slide will permit.
Channel BEING Deepened.
Every effort is being made to procure
a sufficient depth of water in front of
the slide to permit the passage Of a
10. 000-ton freight steamer.
This means the informal opening of
the canal at a much earlier date than
has been anticipated. The earlier open
ing is Tue to the fact that many ships
are being routed by way Of Panama
because Of the interruption of the Te-
hauntepec railroad route.
FOE Barge Service.
Arrangements for the contemplated
barge service have been nearly COM
pleted by the transportation depart
ment, which also is preparing for the
passage Of the first steamer, as it is
feared that the barge service probably
will prove inadequate to handle thu
traffic expeditiously.

NELSON
QUITS LARIMORE
EXECUTIVE JOB

Larimore, May 5.-The controversy
over the appointments Of Mayor Mar
tin Nelson, referred to as "the mayor
by-lot," because Of his defeat of May
or Gass in a contest, ordered by the
supreme court in which the two can
didates drew lots to decide a tie vote,
are apparently ended.
The city council last night. met in
regular session, but without a mayor.
Instead, a formal resignation was
handed in by the city's chief executive
and was promptly accepted by the
council, who then appointed Arthur
Bridgeford as mayor.
The new mayor proceeded to ap-
point Richard Fadden chief of police
in place Of M. w. Edwards, appointed
by Mayor Nelson, and N. ]. Powell
city auditor, in place OF e. C. Wal
ster, another appointment of Mayor
Nelson. It was on these two appoint
ments that the mayor had made
move both Fadden and Powell met
with determined opposition on the
part OF prominent and influential tax
payers and citizens.
Petitions, asking that he consider
the good work. of Dick" Fadden,
chief Of police here for twenty years
OF more and also that Of Mr.. Powell,
were submitted to the mayor last
week, but he made the two appoint
ments mentioned, and although they
were not confirmed by the council,
they have practically ben in charge
of those departments since, out under
protest of the friends of the other in
cumbents whom they had succeeded.

questions at issue between Huerta and
the American government until this
delicate point was adjusted. By this
procedure the mediators would avoid
the problems OF a Quasi-reCOgnition

Mexican dictator as conditions pre-
cedent to mediation, which diplomatic
skeptics were earlier sure would wreck
the negotiations in the very outset. A

mediators to solve, and success in this

a general settlement Of the Mexican
im~broglio.

siOns yesterday and reported that
they were moving steadily ahead.

delegates to confer with them. The

The only word from C~arranza dur

What Secretary Pardee Thinks.

Pioneer Press: It's funny how many
state boards seem to be absolutely es-
sential to the prosperity, safety and
we'll being of the citizens Of the com
monwealth. At least this Is what John
s. Pardee, secretary OF the economy
and efficiency commission thinks. He
ought to know. For many some
Of the state government have been
peacefully attending to the tri1ing
matters assigned to them by various
beneficent legislatures. "
The members have cherished the hon.
or that goes with an appointment and
have framed the certificates of appoint
ment issued by the governor. Now the
efficiency commission comes along and
threatens to abolish a score or more OF
them.
Patriotic Fervor Grips Them.
The net result is an uprising; a pa
triotic fervor Is sweeping through the
ranks of the members Of these boards
they are pointing with pride to their
records and viewing with alarm any
attempt to separate them from their
little jobs.
Now they fully realize the Importance
dire fate will befall the state If one iota
of their powers, privileges, perogatives
and-perish the thought--fees is taken
from them. They are writing volumes
on the subject and fairly flooding Par
dee with literary laments as to what
will happen if the commission persists.
Whereat Pardee is very sad, but he
reads their letters persistently and duly
places them on file. At the same time
he wonders why the little fellows pro-
test and the big fellows keep quiet.

Corn Acreage Larger.

Minneapolis Journal: First crop re-
norris received from thirteen scattered
counties by Fred D. Sherman, commits
sioner Of immigration, show that
farming is making history" in Mime
sofa this year as one reporter, F. F.
Marshall Of Traverse county, puts it.
Farming More Diversified.
An average increase of IS per cent In
the corn acreage, a still larger gain
in alfalfa planting IN the west central
counties, a demand for good farm
hands at from $50 to $40 a month and
a tendency to relegate wheat to the
background in favor Of more d1versi-
fed farming are features Of the re-
ports.
Bio Increase in oCrn.
Because Minnesota grew Ais bushels
Of corn to the acre in 1913, more than
any other state, farmers are generally
turning to this crop and an increase in
the production of corn in Minnesota
this year oVer 1913 is estimated at rs
per cent by Mr.. Sherman.
Many counties report large immigra-
ton from other states and P. e. Glenn
ent Of Clay county says that, while a
number of people are moving In, we
need -four times as many farmers in
this county as we have now
Farm Wages Doubled.
The demand for farm hands seems
to be universal and the wages paid are
larger than even before. Ten years
ago a farm worker who got $40 a
month and board was doing we'll. Now
there are places for plenty of men at
from $40 to $40, with but few takers.
P. E. Clements report was as fol-
lows: Seeding began April TO-; less
| than half finished. Too wet here to
seed at present. Farm help wanted;
wages $35 per month. Decided increase
in corn acreage, about three times as
much as was planted last year. Barley
seeding has just begun. There will be
1000 or more acres of alfalfa Sown
this spring. We need four times as
many farmers in this county as we
have now.
