BRlCkWORk ON CHURCH
PRACTICALLY COMPLETED

The brickwork on the new Congre-
gational church is practically finished
and the roof is rapidly assuming form.
When completed the structure will
have as cosmopolitan and city-like ap-
pearance as any church building in the
northwest. The Valley City congrega-
ton anxiously awaits the time when 1t
will be dedicated and be used for reg
ular service.

Bismarck, July 29.-By a strange
coincidence, the three men who are oc.
cupying large place in the public
eye of the state as probable candi.
dates for the United States senate,
met in Bismarck yesterday. Former
governor, and the present United
States treasurer, John Burke, paid
Bismarck a brief visit on his way to
Washington from the Pacific coast; as
was also Porter J. McCumber, the sen.
ior senator of North Dakota, who is at
present making an auto tour of the
state in the interest of his candidacy
for reelection. Governor Hanna was
in the city and no little interest was
aroused as to the relative strength Of
the three men as candidates for the
United States senate.
Senator McCumber is basing his
claims for reelection upon political
fairness and long service. 1t is a we'll
known fact that Senator McCumber
supported Governor Hanna most Wig
orously during both his campaigns for
governor and it is generally conceded
that had the senior senator's political
organization been thrown to the pro-
gressives in either the 1912 or 1914
campaigns they would have ended
otherwise than they did. Senator Nc
Cumber's frieds contend that when it
Is generally known over the state that
this support was given Governor Han
ma with the distinct understanding
that he would not become a candidate
for the senate in opposition to Nc
Cumber, that it will greatly impair his
chance of nomination. Senator Nc
Cumbers friends contend that by
every rule of the political game he
should receive the support of Hanna
IN his campaign for reelection.
Senator McCumber himself contends
for his reelection upon the ground Of
usefulness. He is now the ranking re-
publican member of the great commit
tee on foreign relations. On the re-
turn of the republican power there is
little, if any, question but that Sena-
tor McCumber will become chairman
Of the foreign relations committee-a
position of influence and power only
seconded by that of speaker of the
house of representatives and the
presidency ITSELF He is also second
or third ranking republican on the
great committee on finance of the SEN
ate Senator McCumber believes that
the difference between no tariff and
reasonable protection means from
twenty to twenty-five millions of dol
lars to the farmers of North Dakota.
Tariff bills are largely made by this
committee. If reelected, and the re-
publicans are returned to power, he
will be in a position to WELD a mighty
influence on behalf of the farmers of
this state. In brief, Senator McCum-
Der contends that the election Of eth
er Hanna or Burke to the United
States senate would mean that fully
Is years must pass before they could
secure the same positions on commit
tees and the same knowledge of legis-
lation and governmental machinery
that he now possesses as the result
of his 16 years experience in the
United States senate.
On the other hand Governor Hanna's
friends claim that Senator McCumber
could not have thrown his stalwart
support to either Buchanan or Burdick
had he so desired. They say that the
stalwarts of the state were loyal to

mand has been greatly increased by
the war, which has helped to cut down
the supply, as in many sources its pro-
duction has been cut off by the great
conflict
The story Of how the old mine came
to be re-opened is interesting and, in
cidentally indicates that a well-known
Maine man slipped one across on the
United States Steel Co.
About four years ago Hon. c. vey
Holman Of South Thomaston, former
ly State geologist. was in Bluehill. He
observed traces Of manganese in the
gardens about town. This interested
him and he followed the course Of them
back to their source, the old mine on
the mountain top. This was his first
knowledge Of manganese mine here.
At that time he secured an option on
the property for two years. Following
this. he investigated as to a market for
manganese and found that prices quot
ed were not sufficiently favorable to
warrant starting operations. His ac-
tivities in the Caribou gold mines of
Nova Scotia caused him to permit this
option to run out without renewal.
Last week. Mr.. Holman was at Cath.
crime hill. Franklin, which is owned 10y
him. This is said to be the worlds larg-
est MolSbdnite deposit. He was called
there because OF investigations being
made by foreign countries now at war,
IN this and other metals necessary in
the production Of iron and steel. From
talk with expert engineers who were
there and from study Of market re.
ports ne felt there was an opening for
manganese at this time. so. on Satur-
day came to this town
