NORTH DAKOTA is THRIVING
Banker Reports Farmers Benefitinq
by High Wheat Prices.

H. r. Lyon, president of the Scan.
dinavian-American National bank of
Minneapolis, back in that city from an
extended trip in Western North Da-
kota, found, he said, such business
conditions as indicate a very prosper
Gus veal for that part of the country.
Farmers who are selling wheat at
S1.26 a bushel, cash, at country sta
tions, are still holding back some. ut
varies from 10 per cent to rs per cent
of last years CROP" Mr.. Lyon said,
land some of the farmers expect to
get still more for it"
Collections are good, Mr.. Lyon said,
and in consequence of the high prices
for grain there is an immediate effect
in the paying off of debt, while the
prospect is that there will be a big
crop sown in the spring and much
general activity.
North Dakota is expecting big i'm
migration" Mr.. Lyon said. 1T is rea
sonable, business men in that state
say, to expect that in the spring many
farmers in Canada, where the wars
effect is being felt, will look f%avorably
towards the United States. North Da-
kota is in position to catch the great
err portion OF such a movement"

Britain Loses Two
Merchant Ships.
SUBMARINE ACTIVITY
Two Other Vessels Meet Same
Fate in Irish Sea.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The French minis
try of marine announced that two
British ships had been torpedoed in
the English channel, Off Havre, by a
German submarine. They are the
steamers Tokomaru and lcaria.
The Tokomaru was bound from
New Zealand to England. Her crew
vas escued by the trawler Semper.
Her cargo consisted in part of cloth
ing and a contribution Of E1,500 49,
5000, New Zealand's gift to Belgian
refugees.
The following statement was given
out by the ministry Of marine:
THE Tokomaru was sunk by a tor
pedo from a German submarine. The
English vessel Icaria also was torpe-
doed in the same locality.
In the Irish sea the English steam
ers Linda Blanche and Ben Cruachen
were torpedoed also.
Hitherto the Germans, before at
lacking a merchant vessel, always al
OWSu luS ClSN SulllClelll llllle W SlIl-
bark in the ships boats. That custom
has now been abandoned, as was
shown by the bombardment OF the
Admiral Ganteaume, which was filled
with Belgian women and children
refugees. The German marine has de-
cided to violate Systematically and
deliberately international law
The French steamer Admiral Gan
teaums, to which reference is made in
the statement of the ministry OF ma
rine, was sunk Oct. 26 while on her
Way from Calais to Havre with a
1Hrong of Belgian refugees, of whom
tGrty lost their lives. The British ad-
ntiralty later announced that the ship
was sunk by a German submarine.

TO TAKE EFFECT ON MARCH |
Western Roads Ask Increase in Pas
senger Rate.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Twenty-tive
railroads west of Chicago, including
all lines entering st. Paul, filed new
tariffs with the interstate commerce
commission increasing their passen-
ger rates from 2 cents to 2h cents a
mile.
The new fares will become effective
March !, unless they are suspended
by the commission, which is not con-
sidered likely by railroad officials.
They were filed to give the commits
sion the thirty days required by law
for investigation and the hearing of
complaints. Clifford Thorne of the
Iowa railroad commission has an
nounced his intention of leading a
fight against the Increases. i

Senators Join Republicans in
Opposing Ship Purchase.
REVOLT STAGGERS LEADERS
Action May Result in Sending the
Bill Back to the Commerce
Committee.

Washington, Feb. with stagger.
ing suddenness nine senate Demo
Gratis formed an alliance with Repub-
leans in an effort to SEND the gov
eminent ship purchase bill back to
the commerce committee.
The revolt, as unexpected as it was
sudden, turned in a twinkling an ad-
ministration advantage into a defen-
sive position. which seemed almost
hopeless to many Democratic lead
erS.
Forced to fight for the life of the
measure the Democrats succeeded in
adjourning the senate, with the mo-
ton to recommit pending aud a party
caucus was called.
Senator Clarke of Arkansas. Demo
crat and president pro tempore of the
senate, revolutioniZed the situation
which has held the senate in dead
lock for many days. He rose while
Senator William A. Smith Of Michi-
gan was concluding a long speech
against the shipping bill and asked
him to yield for a motion.
The senator yielded, having learn
ed the nature OF the motion to come,
and Senator Clarke, introducing his
remarks with al appeal for consider
alton Of other legislation, moved to
send the pending bill back to commit
tee.
Action Causes Great Surprise.
The pandemonium that followed
this development has not been
equaled in the senate in many Years.
Senators poured from the cloakrooms
tC the chamber like bees from a hive.
Republicans, ~forewarned, were the
first on the scene.
AS soon as administration leaders
could catch their breath Senator
Fletcher, in charge of the bill, made
a point Of order against the motion,
which Vice President Marshall sus-
tanned, Senator Clarke appealed from
the decision and the chair was over
ruled by a vote of as to 81. nine Demo
Gratis joining the Republicans.
After some further parliamentary
m~aneuvering Senator Reed took the
floor and. ~denouncing his Democratic
colleagues for their detection, accused
the opponents of the bill of being in
fuenced by the shipping trust"
Both sides seemed to be willing to
declare a truce to take stock of the
new situation and when Senator
Fletcher moved an adjournment there
was no opposition.

victimized by four comely, modestly

Little Blanche Wilson aroused the sympathy of all with her grief over losing her little baby brother on the way to school, and the relief was great when she joyously led him in by the hand after recess. Several pupils wanted to hold the baby, and this ere ated a disturbance, because he was such a very long baby that it was hard to hold him. Harry Austen, who was very bad boy and had to be punished for having tobacco in his pockets, spoke a piece telling how tired he was of wearing long curls and being taken for sWeel little girl. Frankie Wilson (six feet tall or more) told in verse how he lOnged to grow up and be a great big man. The schoolmaster, although most kind and forbearing, did not be- lieve in sparing the rod. There were other recitations, an essay on cow a reading class. a spelling class, and the thing was proved: The clock can be turned back

NEW YORK, Sept. 3:-In the first half of the session there was a rec ord diminishing of activity and low CT prices, except for irregular ad- Nances in such specialties as Cruci Dle. Steel. Westinghouse, American Can and some of the less prominent war shares. This unsettlement was mainly attributed to the highly er- ratio fluctuations in foreign exchange here and abroad, rates in London making another sensational recovery but reacting later. In the afternoon a sudden inquiry for railway shares sent those issues up from one to three points with greatest gains by the Co1lers. Total sales were 495, ,0o0 shares It was rumored negotia- Iions for a British loan of about six hundred millions are in process of Consummation but bankers likely to promote such an undertaking vouch- safed no information. The high rate for demand sterling was s4.67 and continental rates also moved up The par value of sales aggregated S2.43O,O00.
