PRESIDENT WILSON, it is said, is
so deeply engrossed in formulating a
a platform for adoption at the Demo
cratic national convention, that the
important issues between this country
and the warning powers of Europe and
the harrassing Mexican muddle have
been switched onto the "watchful wait
ing" sidetrack. If the Democratic
party paysno more attention to that plat
form than.it has TO the one adopted at
Baltimore the labor of making it might
be saved. 80 the Racine Journal says.

The Milwaukee Journal looks at the

best kind of an Endorsement, in con-
sidering the unparalleled success and
stability OF the United States and the
respect and honor in which she was
held by Ell foreign powers throughout

ing to compare with it in American

CONTANTZA HAS LONG
 ROMANTIC HISTORY

LONDON.-Constanza, the import ant Roumanian seaport and fortress on the Black Sea, which has figured so prominently in the news of late, is one of those new-old towns that are so characteristic of the Balkans. The Balkans are, of course, replete with towns once famous in ancient history that are, today, either little
 mere than villages or have taken on a wonderful new development and are expanding once more, into great and prosperous cities. The long 500 years of "Ottoman sleep which fell upon most of these places in the thir- teenth or fourteenth century has now, for some time, been broken, and a general renaissance has, for the last forty or fifty years, everywhere characterized the liberated countries.
 By the treaty of Berlin, which ob- lged Roumania to accept the "swamps" of the Danube" and a re- cognition of her independence in eX- change for that portion of Bessara- bia ceded to her in 1856 she of course, acquired Kustendji of the Turkish days. With commendable energy she set about making the best of her new possessions. Constanza was talk en in hand with a will. Very large sums of money were freely expended on the harbor and docks; whilst the town itself was laid out with broad streets and adorned with beautiful buildings. It is a city of mosques and churches, for, in a population of somo 17OOO which is more than double what it was some sixteen years a6v' all manner of religions are represent ed. It is, indeed, a curiOsly polyglot city. and Turks, and Greek, Rouman- ian and Bulgar, the Jew and the Ar menian. rub shoulders in the streets or on the quays, or, at any rate so they did before the war.-EX.

 KILLED AT FRONT

Letters and Vancouver papers re- ceived yesterday tell of the death of Lieut.. John Gilmour Hay from wounds received in action in France Lieut.. Hay was with the Forty seventh battalion as a machine gun officer, and recruited in Vancouver. He formerly was prominent mem Der of the Dawson bar, ard for a time served as city solicitor here. Later he moved to Vancouver, and there practiced law and was city solicitor for that city for years. He was in the prime of life, and leaves wide circle of friends in Yukon a7 well as in British Columbia. Lieut.. Hay was a nephew of Charles Mac donald, formerly legal adviser and clerk of the Yukon territorial court
 Letters received yesterday also tell of the experiences of several other Yukoners in the war. One coming to Arthur Coldrick of this city tells of the improvement of Lieut.. GwilIim, former Dawson lawyer, who had been listed among those seriously wound ed. A cable of November 13 to Van couver stated that his name was re- moved from the official list of those dangerously ill from wounds. The cable was to Lieut.. Gwillim's broth CT in Vancouver. Lieut.. Gwillim was in the first war hospital at Reading, England.-DawSon News.

WHEAT CROP OUTLOOK
NOT VERY ENCOURAGING

Wheat crop conditions in Stark
county, as well as throughout the
entire state, are the poorest in sew
eral years. True, some localities are
worse than others, but it is all bad
enough. The late fife and blue stem
wheat is almost total loss as a re-
suit of black rust and the hot wave
that swept the state last week. Mar
quis wheat is but little better, but
Durum is coming along in splendid
shape and will make a fair yield.
Some of the real early Marquis will
also produce fair crop.
Flax, barley and oats are splendid,
especially flax, which will undoubtedly
be one Of the biggest crops for sew
eral years past. If no early frosts
occur there will be many flax yields
in the neighborhood of IL and Is
bushels to the acre.
The wheat crop this year will be a
decidedly short one, despite all state
ments to the contrary. A thorough
examination of the fields will show
this. Of course there are plots that
will yield we'll, but on a whole the
crop is far from good. r'..

CARRYING TON OF MILK
FROM COAST TO COAST

Carrying a ton Of Carnation milk
in G. M. G. automobile truck from
Seattle to New York in record time
is the feat being performed by w.
Warwick and wife, who have already
crossed the continent by auto a score
of times. Mr.. and Mrs. Warwick ar
rived in Dickinson Tuesday morning
and spent the day here resting up
after number of hard road expert
ences met with further west. The
recent heavy rains have damaged
the roads in many places and they
found the going real hard work.
Mr.. Warwick is making The trip
under the auspices Of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce and the Car
nation Milk Co. The purpose of this
and other trips, is to ascertain which
automobile route is the best adapted
for general travel. Mr.. Warwick is
enthusiastic over the Red Trail, and
says that despite the heavy roads,
following the rain storms, this is the
best highway in the northern half of
the United States. He says that a
round trip from New York to Seattle
and back can be made by auto over
the Red Trail in IS days, and that he
intends to prove his statement by
making the trip this fall.

WANTS FLOOD WATER
DAMAGES FROM CITY

Jacob Mack, who owns residence
on lot 8, block &C." in Stoves ad-
dition to the city of Dickinson, pre-
sented a bill at the recent meeting
of the city council for $500, for al
legged damages done by water back
ing into his basement. He alleges
that the sewer pipe which drains his
neighborhood is only six inches in
diameter, and is insufficient in size
to carry off storm water. He also
claims that the pipe is choked with
waste obstruction and although he
brought the matter to the attention
of the street commissioner depart
men, no action had been taken.
On June End, following a heavy
rainstorm, the basement of his house
was flooded, and he now claims dam
ages in the above amount because of
damaged heating plant and quantity
of stored furniture. Most Of the
furniture, he states, is the property
of Matt Ferneis. -,,-..r.... s.- ,-gs-a-,7sa
The bill and accompanying affi-
davit was considered by the council,
and upon motion the prayer of Mr..
Mack was denied, because they could
not see wherein the city was respon-
sible for the flooding Of the COM
plainant's basement.

GROUND TO DEATH
BENEATH WHEELS
OF MOVING TRAIN
WELL KNOWN NORTHERN PA
CIFIC FREIGHT BRAKEMAN
MEETS TERRIBLE DEATH,
Thrown From Top of Box Car While
Releasing Brake and Dashed
to the Tracks,

William J. Gilbert, we'll known
Dickinson railroad man, met a ter
rible death in the Beach railway
yards early Monday afternoon, when
he fell underneath the train wheels
and his body was cut in two. There
was only one eyewitness to the
tragedy, travelling man, and he re-
lates the following account:
Gilbert was on the top of
freight car in the act of releasing
the brakes. The spring was evidently
unusually strong, because as soon as
the brake was released, the unfortu-
nate man was thrown between this
and another car to the ground, the
wheels of the moving train passing
over his chest and literally cutting
his body in two. The stop signal was
given the engine crew, but before the
train could be brought to a standstill
the car wheels had ground the body
to pieces.
The victim of the accident was Al
years of age and for the past few
weeks has been making his home at
Beach, together with his mother.
Since leaving this city short time
ago he has been braking on the
Ollie branch out of Beach. He was
we'll known in Dickinson, where he
made his headquarters for the past
ten years, and where he joined the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen.
He roomed at the Frank Lish home
for several years.
The funeral was held on Tuesday
at Sentinel Butte, his old parental
home, the services being conducted in
the Congregational church. Pat Daily,
president of the local lodge of B. of
r. r., represented the Dickinson rail-
way boys at the funeral, making the
trip in light special. The funeral
was largely attended and wealth of
flowers covered the casket, chief
among which was beautiful floral
pillow presented by the brother train
men Of Dickinson.

YOUNG QU|N|0N FARMER
DIES At LOCAL HOSPITAL

Frank Austin Mason, 26 years of
age, died at local hospital on Sun
day forenoon, August 6, following an
attack Of typhoid fever. He was
brought to the hospital from his
farm home near Quinion about two
weeks ago, but his condition became
rapidly more serious and on Sunday
death followed severe hemorrhagc.
Deceased was born in Cambridge,
Ohio, August l, 1890, and came Will,
his parents to North Dakota about
six years ago. His father died about
three years later. On January 13,
1915, he was married to Miss Clara
Ethel Oldham, who together with a
little son, two months old, survive.
The deceased young man joined the
United Presbyterian church when but
ten years of age, and has always re-
sponded to good Christian training in
both church and home. He was popu-
lar in the community in which he
lived and his sudden taking away
proved a source of genuine sorrow
among his many friends. Sincere
sympathy is extended to the mother,
wife and little babe, and to the nine
brothers and sisters. One Of the
sisters, Miss Jennie, is an instructor
in the Dickinson schools and is we'll
known in the city.
The funeral was held from the NJ
E. church Wednesday morning, Rev
R. H. Craig, assisted by Rev. J. c.
Jorgensen of Dickinson and Rev. R
E. Green of Fryburg, conducting the
services.

RAILWAY MEN DISCUSS
E|GHT-HOUR MOVEMENT

An interesting meeting was held at
the I. O. O. F. hall on Sunday even
ing last which was quite largely at
tended. The gathering was called by
the four railway brotherhoods of the
city, in effort to acquaint the general
public with the true facts in regard
to the eight-hour movement. The
meeting was presided over by Pat
DAILY, president of the local order, B.
of r. r.
B. Kennedy, w. C. Peterson and
AL. Parsons discussed the railway
mems side of the story and demon
strated conclusively that this talk of
the railroads about greater expense
and shorter divisions, if the eight
hour movement is granted, is all
bosh. If this movement is put into
effect, the result will be lighter trains
and greater speed-and hence greater
efficiency and better service. The
railways are not in the habit of pay
ing overtime wages if they can help
it, and they nearly always can
Under present conditions, nearly all
of the freight trains are overloaded
and as consequence there is loss of
time, poor service and long drawn out
labor hours.
Several of the citizens of Dickinson
also expressed their views, among
them being Geo. A. Senour, T. N,
Hartung, Vic. Chilgren and W. A.
Blume.
