Fine Hotel Accommodation
Mr.. Fretwill was greatly impressed
with the cities and business enter
prises he found along the main line
of the Northern Pacific. The hotels
at Glendice, Dickinson. Bismarck, Man
dan, jamestown and Fargo, he said,
were the kind of places the continen-
tai auto trotter wanted to find when
touring the country. These matters
appeal to the tourist, and our roads,
as whole, are also much better
than any others found in the wastern
part of North or South Dakota. Tie
Bad Lands section of the Red Trail
route is the most scenic of any to be
found any where.

PURCELL BILL
FOR PASSAGE
Good Roads Legislation Comes
up in House Committee
of the Whole.

An important piece Of good roads
Legislation was recommended to pass
lby the house committee of the whole
yesterday afternoon and the Boyct
bill to repeal the law providing for the
stats highway commission was killed.
The bill recommended for passage
is III. B. 43O, Purcell, relating to the
registration and re-reglstration of mo
ter vehicles and providing that fees re
quired thereon shall be in lieu of all
taxes.
This bill is really compromise
measure. The Grow bill which was
killed last week contained features
which were objected to by many who
supported the Purcell bill yesterday
H. b. 430 provides that autos be
taxed one per cent Of the catalOge
price in lieu of all other taxes and that
80 per cent of this money is to be
returned to the counties and distri.
buted the same as the auto license
money is now used while the other
) per cent is to be placed in a state
highway commission fund and is to
be spent under the direction of the
state highway commission, also TO
employ surplus convict labor on the
highways.
Boyce Bill Killed.
The Boyce bill (H. p. 442) VAS kill
ed in committee of the whole by {;
two to one vote yesterday. This bill
would do away with the state high
way commission and offers no substi-
tute for same. There has been &C.
tive opposition to the highway com.
mission throughout the session and
this opposition succeeded in killing
the Grow good roads bill Just recent
ly. But the idea OF abolishing the
highway commission seems to have
been a. little too far-fetched for the
Eoyce bill was voted down by a big
majority Tha author of the bill and
w. J. Burnett of Trail argued in its
behalf. ...

ED INDIGNATION TO RUN
HIGH.
SAILORS REFUSE TO EMBARK
Continued Movement Of Dutch
Troops Causes Uneasiness
Among the General
Public.

Hague, Netherlands, Feb. pa
tense undercurrent OF feeling has been
running through all classes in Hol
land in the past few days. 1t is at,
tributed to the puDlic concern owing
to Germany's action in not replying to
the Dutch note, protesting against the
North sea war zone and nervousness
as to what might result from the Ger.
man blockade and submarine activity.
which possibly might produce unto
ward incident at any moment.
Although neutral vessels have sufr-
cred the Dutch ships to the presen;
time have escaped damage, and many
seamen are demandin gincrased wages
owing to risks. Some decline to sail
and left their ships. especially those
bound for England.
Continued movements of troops to-
wards various frontier points and con
stant work of military engineers on
inundation works have increased un-
casiness of the people.
Plan Attack on constantinople.
The Deutsche. Tages Zeitung says

Suffrage forces have been active

tiOn this afternoon on the Bronson res
olution submitting suffrage to the
people again. at is hardly likely that
there will be any great change in the
vote taken on the issue last week.
The senators who voted not to send
the measure Oack to the house seem
determined tc stand pat on the issue.
Since tie bill was recalled from
the house, the senators have been do
ing some earnest thinking. The No
vember vote has been studied closely
and the, solons in many instances are
seeing the issue in, its true light.
The motion of Senator Steele's that
if the Bronson resolution is not act
ed upon by p. M today that the bill,
be returned to the house, will come
up for action at p. m. 1t is likely
that a motion will be made to lay
Senator Steeie's motion on the table.
The anti-suffragi gists hope to secure
enough votes to carry this motion.
1t is likely that the fight will not be
given up until Wednesday noon, wher:
the time expires for messaging bills
over to the house. IA
Members of the senate seem detsr-
mined to get tn matter out of the way
today. Those who have been leading
the fight against the suffrage issue
seem confident that the measure will
be kept in the senate and not return
ed to the house.

League Press bureau has been asked
to cooperate with the National "See

NO FEAR Of

Government States that There is
Plenty on Hand Until New
Crop is Marketed.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
department of agriculture issued the
following statement on February II:
The 1914 wheat crop of the United
States was estimated to be S91 ,O00, 900
bushels. The estimated surplus car
ried over from the 1918 crop was
about 76,0O0,00O bushels. There was.
therefore. total available supply Of
967, 100000 bushels. As the normal
annual per capita consumption of
wheat in the United States is about
So bushels, 520,000.0O0 bushels should
meet our normal domestic require
ments for food; in addition, 10000, 900
bushels are required annually for
seeding. 61O,000,0O0 bushels, there-
fore. should supply the normal domes.
tic demand. This would leave a sur
plus of 357,000,00O bushels. Of this
surplus about 210,OOO,000 bushels were
exported by January 30. This left
147, 100000 bushels, or 40,O00,0O0 bu-
shells more than our average annual
export for the past five years, for ex-
port between February and the ap-,
pearance of the new crop, or for carry

amount is sufficient to permit the ex-
port of nearly 1000, ,0eO. bushels day
until July /. before which time the
new crop will begin totbe available.
This is about the Average recent ex-

Chosen Head Of North Dakota Re-
tail Hardware Association as
Fargo Convention Comes
to Its Close.

Fargo, N. d., Feb 32.-Hubert Har,
rington of Fargo, was elected presl-
dent of the North Dakota Retail Hard
ware association at the closing ses-
sion of the annual convention held in
the Commercial club roms yesterday
afternoon. The other officers chosen
we're: Otto Sougstad, Northwood,
first vice president; D. R. Jacobson,
.Minot, second vice president; G. N.
Barnes, Grand Forks, secretary; A. J.
Smith, Darlington, treasurer.
Board Of Directors.
A. L. Shulstad of Forbes, G. ]. Reed
of Antler, and J. R. 'Vestry of Dray-
ton. were chosen members of the
hoard Of directors. The last three
presidents, w. r. Mcintosh of Botti-
neau, [H. A. Moe of Churches Ferry,
and A. J.. Smith OF Darlington, by vir-
tue of their having been chief execu-
tives of the association, are also men,
bers of the board Of directors.
E. L. Pollard Of Litchville, and G..
v. Ferguson of Glenburn were chosen
delegates to the national convention
of retail hardware men to be held in
st. Paul the last week in June. Presi-
dent Harrington and Secretary Barn
es by virtue of their office, are also
delegates from North Dakota to this
convention.
Large Attendance.
A conservative estimate places the
number of North Dakota retail hard
ware merchants who attended the
convention at 200. The number of
visitors from other states and repre-.
sentatives of manufacturers and job
bers will easily bring the number to
over 500 who were attracted to Fargo
by the splendid convention the best
and most successful in every way OF
any ever held by the North Dakota
organization.
The resolutions adopted contained
several matters of Importance to the
trade. Among others was a resolu-
ton favoring one cent postage, and
another asking legislative enactment
of a state law for honest advertising.
Along this line an important point
was brought out by former president,
Mcnamara, of the national associa-
ton, which. received the unqualified
endorsement of the convention.

they are exceptionally well drilled.
considering the length of time the
company has peen in existence. The
membership is made up Of well known
young men of the city. and many OF
the prominen. pioneer families are
represented Ia it.
Range Needed.
1t is probable that an outdoors
range will be secured early in the
spring. The members find it too far
to make the trip to, Hillsboro for tar
get practice, and it is generally adj
mitted by officers ard inspectors tina;
a range is badly needed here.
A location at the English coulee,
two miles out from the city, was con-
rsidered last summer, also one at Ola
ia, but nothing definite has been de.
cided upon. Officers state that with
early spring definite location will
be secured and the proper equipment
