INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION CAR HERE.

Several days ago the Interstate
Commerce Commission sent a crew
here to assess the valuation Of the
Cape Girardeau Northern Railway
tracks, etc. The crew consists of IL
men in all, with Mr.. W. G. Corran in
charge.
This is in accordance with the valu
alton act passed by Congress two
years ago which provides that all the
railroads in the United States shall
be assessed by Government men. The
entire country is divided into five dis
tricts and there are eight crews in
each district, making forty crews in
all. They travel in their own private
car and they chain the tracks, cross
section all the grading, and do every
thing that is necessary to get cor
rect physical valuation of the railroad
property.
This particular crew has been work
ing in this vicinity for some time.
They commenced on the M. R. & B..
T. about the first of December, and
have assessed that road, the st. Fran
co.'s County railroad and the c. G. N.
since then. They will porbably go to
the Rock Island between st. Louis and
Kansas CITY, from here.
These young men are the kind that
make things go. They are nearly all
college graduates and they understand
their work well, and we wish them ev-
cry success possible.

UNFOUNDED RUMORS
Relative to Location of the Combined
Colleges.

1t has come to the undersigned, that
a report is being circulated by some
one who is evidently unauthorized to
speak, that the question of uniting
Carleton and Marvin Colleges has
been determined; and that, first, the
united College has been located at
Fredericktown; and, second, that the
effort of uniting the said colleges has
been abandoned.
At the meeting of the Joint Com
mission of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in st. Louis, Missouri,
the Commission appointed sub-com-
mittee, composed of Rev. W. F. Nc
Murry, D. D., and Mr.. Hanford Craw-
ford, "to consider the character, scope,
plan of operation and the possibility
of a properly equipped and endowed
institution required to serve the grow
ing church constituency of this sec
ton of Missouri, and report
to an adjourned meeting of the Joint
Commission as soon as possible" ;"
Under the authority creating this
Joint Commission, only the Joint Com
mission can locate the united College;
and up to this time, the Joint Commits
sion has not passed upon the ques-
tion of locating the united College,
and said location is yet undecided;
and any report of the character men
toned above is without foundation.
deem it just to all concerned that
this statement be made and published,
so that all may be possessed of the
true facts.

LOOK OUT, BoYsE

Felix L. DeLassus, Deputy State
Game and Fish Commissioner, Of Men
fro, Mo-, was in town Saturday and
gave this Office a call. He said that
he had been out in the jungles and
forests of st. Francois county, watch
ing out for violators of the fish and
game laws. He didn't say whether he
had caught any violators Or not but
we would advise everybody to either
behave themselves or else be extra
sly while Mr.. DeLassus is around.
We sincerely hope that there will be
no one that will violate the laws to
such an extent that it will be neces-
sary for the Warden to arrest them.
Mr.. DeLassus went to Bismarck from
here.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK
MARSHALS TO BE NAMED

for Annual Honors.

Senior marshals for commencement
week at the George Washington Uni
versity will be elected by the Associa-
tions of Class Presidents of the insti-
tuition at meeting to be held Mon
day, April 20.
The custom of having students select
ed from the members of the graduating
classes of the various departments to
lead the seniors at the baccalaureate
sermon and the commencement itself
was instituted two years ago by Rear
Admiral Charles Herbert Stockton, U.
S ", retired, president of the uni
versity.
Each senior class in the university
has been requested to select one of its
members for a nominee. From these
nominees the association will choose
the three marshals. There will be one
grand marshal and two assistants. Sc
lection for these positions is considered
one of the greatest honors that can he
bestowed upon a senior.
The marshals are selected on the
basis of what they have accomplished
for the welfare of the university. al
though popularity, of course, is a domi-
nant factor The University Hatchet,
weekly student publication. publishes s
in its latest issue an editorial urging
that the election be kept free of favor
itism and politics. The fear is that
certain fraternitieS may attempt to
dominate the selections.
