Construction Of
New Line Started
Great Northern Has Begun Ac.
ton on New Rockford Lewis
ton Line
FROM LEWISTON TO CITIES,
Only Short Gapes to be filled TO,
{ Make the Line Complete In +,
to Montana

Schafer, N. D., March 21.-Con
struction work on the New Rock
ford, N. D.. to Lewiston, Mont,
Line Of the Great Northern, which
will afford a direct connection
from Lewiston and Grand Forks
and Duluth and Fargo and the
twin cities, is already under way
between Circle, Mont, and Lam
bert, Mont, according to word
here.
The construction crews have
been in the field several weeks,
and the railroad company expect
to have a lake just west Of
Circle, bridged before the frost
is out Of the ground. The Circle
to Lambert gap in the line prac-
tically completes the railroad
from Schafer to Lewiston and
leaves only the construction Of
the lime from here to New Rock
ford to complete the entire line.
Pronounced increase in the
railroad business is responsible
for the rapfdity with which the
Great Northern is directing the
construction work on this line,
and it is expected that through
service will be established within
a year.

if conditions ~emain good, the i'm

In North Dakota the gap IN
the new cutoff extends from

new tracks are included in the
program.

The college men in the National

joining in droves, according to the
officers of the league, and many have
written in to signify their disconten;

DIDN'T WANT
TO TALK WITH
MY FRIENDS
LIPPINCOTT SAYS HE
FEELS LIKE NEW MAN
SINCE TANLAC CAME

"When man gets so sick and tired
that he doesn't want to talk with his
friends, it's time for him to look for the
cause of his trouble" SO spoke Frank
E. Lippincott, we'll known tinsmith and
plumber of Milford, N. J.
Mr.. Lippineott then went on to say
that he was born and raised in Milford,
but his kinfolk all live in Trenton.
He then continued;
"For about six months, don't believe
there was a more miserable man in the
state l had nervous indigestion and
was SO badly rundown from its effects
that l couldn't eat or sleep. My bed
didn't look good to me at night, for
couldn't even rest aud the nourishment
I took was confined to eggs, milk and
toast.
81 was so nervous and played out l
became badly discouraged had alb
solutely no ambition and fell off IS
pounds in weight
"Many of my friends recommended
Tanlac to me, and at last started using
the medicine. 1t didn't take long for
Tanlac to go after my trouble. Why,
I've actually gained FIVE pounds since l
started the treatment. / can eat any
thing now, and all the old nervous
tronble is gone. sleep fine all through

WHALING DAYS ARE OVER.
A Once Thriving Industry That Hal
Nearly Vanished.


Nearly Vanished.
At the outbreak of the American Rev
olution and for period of seventy-five
years following the conclusion Of that
struggle whaling was the most impor-
tant branch of the American fisheries.
From 500 to 700 vessels sought whales
in all the oceans and seas Of the world,
and In one year New Bedford alone
sent out 300 vessels, whose cargoes of
bone and oil were the basis of the In
dustrial life Of the city.
The pursuit of sperm whales reached
its climax in 1887, when oil valued at
nearly $4,50O,OOO was brought In, most
ly from the south Pacific. The height
of the industry was in 1916, when TO-
600 persons derived their support from
whales and 720 vessels, valued at $21,-
100000, were engaged.
For more than fifty years the fishery
has been declining, and In numerous
ports that once derived most of their
wealth from the industry there have
for long time existed only memories
of former greatness. For a number of
years the sperm, right and bow head
whales that supported the fishery in
early years have been very scarce and
their pursuit has been improbable,
and the present Importance Of the
whale fishery, amounting In value to
less than 2 per cent Of the American
fisheries, depends on the taking from
shore stations of species Of whales that
formerly were for the most part neg
lected
The glory of the whale fishery has
departed forever, and the commercial
if not the biological extinction of all
kinds of whales Is proceeding rapidly,
undeterred and unlamented by the
principal maritime powers.-Hugh NJ.
Smith in National Geographic Maya

Election Of Hughes Means Peace
with Honor-Not War, Not
Peace with lnfamy.

I'VE have heard In recent days
that the alternative Of the policy
of the present Administrator Is
war. / think the alternative of
the present administration is
peace with honor. l am a man
devoted to the pursuits of peace.
We cherish the ideals OF peace.
We entertain no thought of ag-
gression; we are not covetous,
we are not explotters, but we
are Americans, and American
rights must be maintained
throughout the world. That is
the cornerstone of our security;
that is the essential basis OF
peace. We are not counting
struggle, but / do say In all seri-
BUSINESS that we have been living
in a period Of national humilia-
ton.
Our citizens have been muir
dered, their property destroyed
and our commerce interrupted
The alternative Of a weak and
vacillating policy is not war; It
is firm insistence on known
rights in a world where ali ma
lions desire our friendship and
we desire the friendship Of all.

Braided Rivers.

A river not confined to a single chan
mel, but broken up into a number OF
channels, which In turn branch and

ner, Is called a braided stream. 1t is
caused by the slight fall Of the stream,
which prevents it from carrying away
all the sediment swept into 1t by its
numerous tributaries.
This material ehokes the stream and
forces 1t to spread into many shallow
and shifting channels, resembling the
strands of braid. A good example OF
this is Jefferson river, In Montana
