Arcadia project is located in rural

water communication for marketing
their crops. Some years ago $4,000
wah appropriated for the Lake Com

raising of like sum by local inter-

No More .Log-R Rolling"
II do not recall q single instance
IN my. own experience where this APP,
pellate board has not exercised fnll'
supervisory authority with conserva-'
tism and impartiality. Members or
Congress have realized. for several
years that an adverse report from the
army engineers virtually dooms the
project. And this course has done
away. almost entirely, with the old
practice of log rolling" which was.
many years ago, quite commonly
practiced in securing local benefits In
river and harbor bills.
There may be. and probably is.
improvement in rivers and harborsl
not as necessary to communities to-
day. as when undertaken, but that
system was not without its cham-
pions; boards Of trade, chambers OF

izens generally. They gave publicl
men no peace until their local ambt-I
tfons were initiated. The situatfonl
lis entirely different today. And the,
work Of improving the river and har-l
bors must now have the approval OIL

have further attention from Con-I
gress. In the meantime, partially
completed projects cannot be permit
ted to languish without great loss to-

The present bill is constructed
entirely upon these lines, and / did
not know until the bill was presented
to the Senate that there was any di-l
vision among the members Of thel
committee Of commerce regarding -
"If 1t is proposed to withdraw gov

and the future policy of the govern

Until such change in the. policy
has been adopted the present method,
which requires the approval of the
engineer corps. after careful investi-
cation, is the only one which can
consistently be supported"

TO PUSH ANTITRUST BILL
Rule to Bring Measure Before House
to Be Taken Up.

Washington, May 8.-With the re.
porting of the house omnibus" anti
trust bill by Chairman Clayton of the
judiciary committee leaders in the
lower branch predicted early action on
trust legislation. A rule to bring the
Clayton measure before the house,
probably the first of next yeek, will
be taken up Immediately.
The report on the house bill, which
differs slightly from the senate com.
mittee measure, describes holding
companies as "abominable" in Ger.
tain conditions, asserts "the common
director in great many corporations"
usually results to public detriment, de
clares the bill "is not designed to de
stroy or hinder business, but to help
business, and the whole people of the
country who are related to or affected
by it," and outlines the lawful scope
of operations of agricultural, labor
and fraternal organizations.

THE R.R. COMMISSION
HEAR DEPOT PETITIONS
In Various parts of the State
jamestown Patient.

Bismarck, May l3.-Last We'd
nesday the railroad commission Wis
tied Fredonia, on the 500 line, where
a new depot is asked for. At the
meeting Superintendent Derrick in
formed the people his company was
preparing plans to enlarge the pres
ent structure so there will be more
space in the waiting room and also
in the freight house, believing that
with these additions the building
would be commodious enough to
care for the patrons of the road for
a few years more, but the people
seem to have ideas of their own as
to that. The commission took the
matter under advisement.
Glendale May Get Depot.
At Glendale a hearing was had
with the Milwaukee officials and the
townspeople on the petition of the
latter for a new depot, the matter
being held open until the general Of
ficers at Chicago could be heard
from by the general superintendent,
but it is probable the Glendale peo-
pie will get the depot in the end.
More Time at Forbes.
The people of Forbes were grant
ed an extension of time between
trains. The officials of the 500 and
Milwaukee lines were seen in regard
to the passenger train connection at
Monango in the afternoon, and it
was decided that inasmuch as the
500 was about to make a new sched-
ule of it's entire system May 81, the
time for the Monango connection
was extended till then.
At Oakes the commission met the
city officials and citizens who pre-
sented the need of new union de-
pot at that point, to be built by the
Northwestern and Northern Pacific
railways. The matter was discussed
informally and the present depot in
spected, and it is probable a petit
ton for a new depot will be forth
coming in the near culture.
jamestown Wants New Depot.
At jamestown there seems a dis
position of the people to appeal to
the railroad commission for aid in
securing from the Northern Pacific
a new depot at this point. The
structure has been promised by the
company for many years, but fails
to materialize, and while most of
the people of Jamestown are in
cline to possess themselves in pa
tience, others are not so easily COM
posed. .....

NORTH DAKOTA GERMANS
HAVE STATE TICKET
John Wishek Is Anti.ProhibitiOn
Candidate for Governor.

Bismarck, N. D., May THE de-
cision of the North Dakota German
Bunde to place in the field a state
ticket is the chief topic of political
interest at the capitol. John Wish
elk, selected as candidate for COVER
nor, has been prominent in business
and politics of North Dakota for a
quarter of century. His candidacy
is not the sporadic effort of the anti
prohibition element, bunde members
say, but is the outcome of an organ
lied effort on. the part of the Ger
man-speaking people to obtain polit-
ical recognition.
The bunde endorsed H. Saghorn
of Mercer county for lieutenant gov
ernor. 1t is understood that at
later date they may endorse an en-
tire state ticket.
Active Campaign Begun.
Wishek has opened headquarters
in Bismarck, has engaged clerical
force, and will begin at once an ac-
tive campaign. Ample funds have
been provided. The German leaders
contend that they have at the pres
ent time better than an even chance
to elect their candidate. They point
out that practically one-thrd of the
population of the state is German
speaking.
The counties giving more than 80
per cent of the German vote of the
state gave Governor Hanna a ma
jority in the primaries two years
ago of 4,407 votes. It is the judg-
ment of politicians here that Wish
ek's candidacy will draw more votes
from Governor Hanna than from
Burdick; that it will 50 equalize the
contest that it will place all three
candidates practically upon an equal
footing, and that the outcome can
not be forecast at this time.

EARLY ATTACK EXPECTED
Rebels to Press Campaign Against

ii Paso, Tex, Mey 13.-The Consti-
tutionalist campaign against San Luis
Potosi will not be pressed until after
the capture of Saltillo by General
Francisco Villas army. Robert V.
Pesquieria, diplomatic agent of the
Constitutionalists, made this declara-
tion on his return from Torreon.
According to Pesquieria the actual
bombardment of Saltillo will begin in
three days. Rumors that the Consti.
tutionalists have captured Tampico
continue. There is no confirmation.
Carranzaist leaders regard the cap.
ture of the port as Of utmost impor-
tance, because they believe the United
States will rot blockade Tampico
against the importation of arms and
ammunition to the Constitutionalists.

SAY RUTHERFORD HAS
BEEN SEEN IN OMAHA

Bismarck, N. D., May 6.-Since
the disappearance of Brakeman
Rutherford of jamestown year
ago but one clue that promises any
results has been found as to his
whereabouts. When he first disap-
peared it was thought he was thrown
by tramps stealing a ride from a
freight train from the Missouri river
bridge. A "boomer" railroad man
claims now he recently saw Ruther-
ford switching at Omaha, but efforts
of local railroad men to prove this
have failed.
