Il have never yet lived in town

country. "a young man who would
buy a few acres of Boardman land
under the ditch, grow alfalfa and
raise hogs could not help but prosper.
Boardman has the best natural loca-
tion in the world, being on the main
line OF a transcontinental railroad. is
situated on the banks of the Colum-
bit River and there is natural grade
into Boardman from all the tributary
country. Another thing in Board
mans favor is the easy access to an
early and ready market" said Mr.
Blayden,
At the present time Mr.. Blayden Is
building a new store building which
will soon be ready for occupancy. He
is more than pleased with the wa!
his business has grown since he ar
rived there and says he has been add

since the day he opened up for bus

Boardman is building to the future

not of the board walk variety but o
solid concrete. The streets are lait
off in a systematic manner, being
contrast to the pioneer towns whicl

lines of the least resistance.
There are 10000 acres of land sub

TO STRIKE FOR
WAR BONUSES
Owners Forced to Grant Salary
Increases by the
Union.
TEMPORARY SCHEDULE
WAS FORMULATED

New York, April l5.--Action which
was believed to be the forerunner Of
an effort to cause a general strike
among seamen Of all classes on ocean
going steamships resulted here today
in one vessel, the American liner,
Mongolia, being delayed several
hours in sailing, and another, the
New York and Porto Rico liner, Braz-
os, being forced to anchor down the
bay after leaving her pier.
When the vessels finally sailed, OF
was explained that truce had been
offered and that some of the de-
mands of the strikers had been grant
ed
The demands of the seamen were
printed in four languages: English,
Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, and
posted by the strikers on the Mon
golia and Brazos. They were signed
by the Atlantic division Of the Inter
national Seamens Union of America
an organization at the head Of which
is said to be Andrew Fureseth, who
collaborated with United States Sen
ator LaFOllette of Wisconsin in draft
ing the new seaman's act.
In addition to % per cent in
crease in wages, to be known as "a
war risk bonus," applicable to all
classes of seamen aboard vessels

JUDGE HANLEY'S
DAUGHTER HURT
Boy Riding Bicycle Conidcd With
Child and Injured the Little
Girl.

Mandan, N. D.. April 15.-'Lewista
G-year-old daughter of Judge j. M
Hanley, was seriously injured late
Friday afternoon, when boy speed
ing on the sidewalk near the IHanley
home with his bicycle crashed into
the little girl.
The boy was thrown from his bi
cycle and both boy and bike landed
on top of the child. She was carried
into the house and a physician call
ed. No bones were broken, but the
girl was badly bruised and a small
cut was inflicted above the ear. She
was taken violently i'll after the ac
cident. This morning, however, she
had apparently recovered.
The police department of the city
as result of the accident, this
morning issued an edict that bicy-
cyles must be kept off the sidewalks
There have been numerous com
plants of near accidents" said Pc.
lice Commissioner M. S. Lang this
morning, land many riders have been
warned personally. However, this
seems to have done but little good
and from now on the city ordinance
will be strictly enforced.
"The police officers have been in.
structed to arrest any bicycle riders
caught on the sidewalks.
"This law enforcement is also to
be extended to the automobile driv-
ers. In the past the city officials have
been comparatively lenient with the
motor car owners, but with the in.
creased number of cars, the increased
business and traffic occasioned by the
growth of the city and country, we
insult enforce the laws" Mr.. Lang
continued: speeding on the streets
of the city must be stopped, all auto
mobiles must bear the state license
number, and the use of the binding
headlights must also be done away
with in the city. There is hardly a
car which is not equipped with both
glare headlights and DINNERS, and to
avoid accidents DINNERS must be
used in the city.

SENATE ADOPTS
MEASURES TO

Two More Provisions to Federal

Out.
SENATOR BORAH
IN BITTER ATTACK

Washington, April l5.-Two more
provisions designed TO strengthen the
federal status of the National Guard
were written into the senate army bill
today. In the course of a debate, en-.
livened by charges hat federal funds
provided the National Guard in past
years had been foolishly thrown away,
and in some cases embezzled, the sen.
ate adopted amendments providing
that all officers of the Guard above
the rank Of captain, be paid $500 a
year by the federal government, and
that all guardsmen on enlistment be
required to take an oath to obey Or
ders from the president as we'll as the
governor of their respective states.
The attack on guard officers for
their use of federal funds was made
by Senator Borah in speech oppos-
pay. The Idaho senator declared the
$S,000,O 900 available annually for use
OF the Guard under Dick Militia law
had been "shamefully" utilized by Off
GERS to the exclusion of enlisted men,
and that some Of it chad been embeZ
zled" Senators Reed, Pomeran and
others defended the Guardsmen and
the federal pay amendment was adopt.

TO support his charge, Senator Bor-

Secretary Baker made this an

received information OF an ,rnproVOk-
ed attack on American soldiers, who
had entered Parral to buy supplies.
soldiers and 40 Mexicans were killed,
but no further details had been re-
ported at the time.
General Pershing also reports
that he had given full information to
General Huerrero as to the position,
direction and general destination OF
our troops pursuing Villa. He has
sent by aeroplane for full particu-
lars
General Pershing's message, giving
virtually the same information re-
garding the fight as previously had
come from unofficial circles was re-
garded at the war department as dis
posing of sensational rumors magni,
flying the incident. The reference to
General Huerrero, commander at Chi
huahua was accepted as further dem
onstrating the extent to which the
American and the de facto forces
were cooperating Although the
message did not say so specifically,
officials took it for granted that the
attack on the Americans was made by
civilians, since any, hostile move by
Carrailza troops would have called
for definite statement from General
Pershing to that effect.

Most Enjoyable Affair That Has
Been Staged Since Pioneer
Days.

The most thoroughly enjoyed OF all
the many good times which the Com
morcial club rooms have played the
stage for this season was the reunion
Of Bismarck and Burleigh county set,
tiers OF the seventies and eighties,
which came to Il most successful close
at midnight, this morning.
Between three and four hundred
people responded to the call sent out
by the executive committee to the
sons and daughters of the seventies.
The attendance, while no larger than
that at the successful function held
under the same auspices last fall, was
more representative, in that there Was
much larger delegation from the
country.
Old Folks Night.
1t was "old folks" night, and the
people of the seventies and eighties
and their sons and daughters joined
with glad abandon in firemen's dane
es, Dan Tuckers,, Turkeys in the
Stray, reels, jigs, quadrilles and dan
GERS of the good old days, which,
strangely enough were found just a
trihe more enjoyable than any OF the
new steps OF the present. Fred Car
stems stentorian voice never appeared
to better advantage than in calling
the various figures, and his giddy
toes contended with Pat Kelley's for
the terpsichorean honors of the eve
ming. Mrs. Dan Falconer of south of
town was Mr. Kelley's partner in a
very graceful and well-eXecuted Jig of
a generation or two ago.

Washington, April 15.-While Pres.
'ident Wilson and Secretary Lansing
today were engaged in marshallinx the
accumulation Of evidence that Ger
many, in her submarine warfare, had
violated solemn pledges given to the
United States, official word Of two
more shipping disasters, apparently
due to illegal acts by German submar-
Inc commanders, was received at the
state department. Consular dispatch
es indicated that the steamship, Mar.
gam Abbey, was attacked without
warning on April s, and that the Alb
erdeen was sunk by shell fire after
the crew had been forced to the small
boats, more than 100 miles from shore.
Americans were aboard both ships
and were endangered.
Cases Investigated.
These two cases are being investi-
gated and may be included in the
American indictment of German meth
ods of conducting submarine warfare.
which it was understood tonight prob
ably would be ready for transmission
to Berlin early next week.
The president and Secretary Ian.
sing devoted a large part OF the day
to the consideration of the submarine
situation. Sa
1t became known here tonight that
the contemplated action of the United
States, which is expected to bring
the submarine controversy to clear
cut issue, is being watched closely by
the diplomatic representatives of 9TH
er neutral nations. The United States
is taking into consideration the cases
of many neutral vessels, which, while
not carrying American citizens. have
been sunk by German submarines. An
investigation of these cases has been
proceeding on the ground that it was
only by chance American citizens
were aboard the ship when disaster
overcame them.
Furthermore, the interests Of the
United States and other neutrals are
understood to be identical in some of
the cases Gi5 tG0T
