Carranza Can Handle Bandits

Ell Paso, April 25.-Assurances that
the Carranza government is prepared
to cope with the Villa bandits in
northern Chihuahua is expected to be
made by Obregon at his coming con-
ference with Scott, chief of staff of
the United States army. Oregon, it
is learned in Mexican official circles,
will develop his plans for policing the
northern Mexican country in detail
with the hope that they will prove &C.
ceptable to Scott. n., ..
Should the plans be deemed ADEQUATE
by Scott, the Carranza government
will again renew. it's request of the
American government that its troops
be withdrawn from Mexico.
Anders Garcia, Mexican consul. ia
expected to obtain some official infor-
nation as to what time Obregon will
reach Juarez. Garcia thought the con.
ference might last several days as it
is understood here that the details of
a proposed protocol relative to dis
patching of armed forces of either
government into each others territory
to run down marauding outlaws, would
be carefully discussed as we'll as the
plans of Mexican government for DO
Icing the border to insure the safety
of Americans and to prevent repeti-
ton of the Columbus massacre.
That several weeks at least will
elapse before the troops are with
drawn from Mexico appears evident
from the amount Of food and forage

Red River Is On Second
Big Rampage This Year

Fargo, April 26.-Flood waters of
the Red river are again menacing
homes in the low areas and thousands
of acres of land are flooded, the result
of the recent rains. Island park is half
submerged and Fourth street south,
one of the pretty thoroughfares of the
city, is flooded for the second time this
season.
1t is not believed that the flood will
reach the stage it did earlier in the
season, which was 1913, nor is it be.
lieved that the waters will reach rs
feet, the flood stage. Street car traffic
on Fourth street south, which was
halted early in April by the city au-
thorities, who maintained that the
condition of the ground beneath the
pavement was not in condition for
heavy travel because of the big flood,
is still tied up. For several days prior
to the second food light travel was
permitted.
Water has crept into the basement
of the auditorium flooding the fur
,naces. The two new dwellings south
east of Fargo college will be seriously
damaged as the result of the second
rise of the waters. Fargo college sta
dunn is once more a great basin.
The rise of the waters for the sec.
ond time this season was noticed at
Wahpeton the latter part of last week.
Last Friday the river rose three feet

Minneapolis Firm Gets
Jamestown sNewDepot

jamestown, April 24.-Agent Helm
Of the Northern Pacific has learned
that the contract for the construction
of the new Northern PACING depot at
Jamestown has been let to the E. G.
Evensta Construction company of Min
neapolis. The above company secur-
ed the contract for the depot building,
the viaduct and retaining wall. The
matter of sewer construction will be
settled later, on the outcome of nego-
tiations now under way with the city
council for the Northern Pacific COM
pany to join with the city in the mat
ter of proposed sewer running south
east from Second avenue.
A representative of the Evensta
company is expected in jamestown to-
day to look over the ground and make
arrangements for beginning work.
The amount of the successful bid
ders bid was not given out, but it is
known to be in the neighborhood of
$125,000 for the work above outlined.
The Evensta company has done a
great dali of the heavy construction
work of the Northern Pacific in re-
cent years, having built a number of
roundhouses and buildings of SINH
lar nature in the twin cities and other
points. The company was the lowest
bidder by considerable amount in
competition with AZ other bidders. 1t
is possible much of the work will be
sublet, such as teaming, hauling, ex-
cavating, etc., although nothing yet
is definitely known on this point.

German Airships Raid England

London, April Fisherman battle
cruisers appeared off Lowestoft today.
The announcement of the appearance
of the German warships was made in
an official statement. Local naval
forces engaged the raiders and also
British light cruisers. The German
warships retreated in 20 minutes.
In the engagement two British light
cruisers and one destroyer were hit,
but none of them sunk.
The following official announcement
was made: AT about 4:30 o'clock
this morning the German cruiser
squadron accompanied by light cruis-
ers and destroyers, appeared off Low
estoft. The local naval forces engag-
ed it and in about 20 minutes it re-
turned to Germany, chased by our
light cruisers and destroyers. On
shore two men, one woman and a
child were killed.
"The material damage seems to have
been insignificant so far as is known
at the present time. Two British light
cruisers and destroyer were hit, but
none were SUNK ...t ...
Lowestoft is on the North Sea coast,
about 100 miles to the northeast of
London. It is almost opposite The
Hague. IT.
On previous occasions attacks have
been made on the English coast by
German warships. The most import.
ant was the raid made Dec. 16, 1914
The towns of Scarborough, Whitby
and Hartlepool, about $50 miles north
of Lowestoft were bombarded and
about 100 were killed. Aided by the
fog the German vessels escaped.
On Jan. "a, 1915, a further attempt
of the kind was made, but the Ger
man squadron was met off the Dog
ger bank by British cruiser squad
ron under Vice Admiral Sir David
Beatty. On being sighted, the Ger
mans made for home at very high
speed. Their rear ship, the Bluecher
was sunk and two other cruisers were
set on fire and damaged severely.
The British flagship Lion, disabled
by a shot in one Of her feed tanks
was towed home. The first German
naval raid on the British coast wal
made Nov. 8, 1914.

Drunken Boy Caused
$4,000 Havelock Fire

Mandan, April 24.-"I've got her a.
going fine now!" is the statement al
legged to have been made by Barney
Adams, a young man Of Havelock, af-
ter setting fire to the Charles Knox
pool hall at 9 o'clock Saturday night
The resultant blaze caused a property
loss of $4,000.
Young Adams is alleged to have
been badly intoxicated, according to
the witnesses who were called upon to
testify at the hearing which was held
this afternoon at Mott.
He went to the rear of the Knox
pool hall where a small shed housed
gasoline lighting apparatus. He is
claimed to have poured gasoline over
the wall of the pool hall then touched
a match to it. Staggering to the front
of the hall witness assert that he
made the statement about Having 'er
going"
The fire completely destroyed the
pool hall together with all contents,
and spread to the Peterson General
merchandise store, and that building
was also completely destroyed. The
pool hall loss to building and equip
ment is estimated to be about $4,000,
while the loss to the Peterson bust
ness on stock and building is at least
$4,000.
A restaurant on an adjoining lot
caught fire several times but was
saved
The entire citizenship of Havelock
turned out to fight the flames and
special train was run from New Eng
land carrying fire fighting apparatus
and scores of volunteers. This train
arrived at Havelock about 9:45, and
the work of the New England people
saved the town.
Deputy Sheriff Wilhelm of Hetting-
cI Guilty was Cc1IlCu " 111F O1ONh elAlu
took young Adams in charge. He was
taken to Mott Sunday morning and
the hearing was held this afternoon.
The alleged incendiary is the son of
w. B. Adams, one of the early settlers
of Hettinger county, and reputed to
be one of the wealthiest farmers in
the southwestern section of the state.
Young Adams and others were
enjoying a pre-Easter celebration in
the Charles Knox pool hall at Have
lock Saturday night, in which it is
claimed considerable liquor was
used.
Adams was admittedly in the
rear room of the building, and was
claimed by witnesses at the preilmin-
airy hearing late Monday afternoon TO
have come out to the front and said
"I've got 'er going fine" They allege
that he poured gasoline on the rear
wall of the pool hall and touched a
match to it.
Adams in his defense insists that
he merely discovered the fire.
Barney Adams is the son of w. E.
Adams, and the latter, an Englishman,
,, with his four brothers also residents
of the Haverlock district, have been
decidedly pro-Ally in their opinions
on the war; AS by far the greater ma
jority of the residents of the district
are German or pro-German in senti-
ment, there has been bad blood for
many months.
This is claimed to have been mani
tested late Monday afternoon when the
preliminary hearing was held at Mott.
Ten witnesses were examined all of
whom, it is asserted, showed but little
regard for the defendant.
Adams was released under $1,000
bail.
Because of the prominence of the
family intense interest has been arous-
ed. Practically the entire population
of Havelock was at Mott today to at
tend the hearing.

WASTE OF Fertilizer

Usual Practice to Rake Up Fallen Fo-

Amateur Gardener Who
UtiIizes Back Yard.

We are known, of course, as a waste

and economy. Our very abundance
provOkes lavishness; we take scant
thought for the future until necessity
forces it. We pay thousands of tiollars
every year for phosphates and nitrates,
and overlook the product of natures
laboratory that is under our noses.
Take the unconsidered item of the
annual destruction of leaves. Nobody
knows how many tons of valuable fer
tilizer are wasted every year through
our practice of raking the fallen foliage
from lawns and parks into the street
and burning them or leaving them for
the ID. Z. w. to take away. The acrid
smoke of burning leaves is as much an
indication of autumn as the shortening
of the days. We destroy one of the
best of natures fertilizers. that on
which she relies for the renewal of the
vegetable humus in the soil. A leaf
on the lawn is as much Of an eyesore

CORRECT SOIL FOR alfalfa
Oeep-Feeding Plant That Usually
Sends Roots Down Many Feet to
Obtain Needed Food.

A deep, permeable soil should be
chosen, If possible, as alfalfa is natur-
ally deep-feeding plant that usually
sends its roots down many feet to
obtain the plant food materials and
moisture which are out of reach of
the shallOw-rOoted crops.
If the soil lacks depth the alfalfa
plant is unable to utilize its deep-feed-
ing root system and is less likely to
withstand the inroads made by the
surface-feeding weeds. The roots
can, however, penetrate rather stiff
clay soils, and even some of the soils
underlain with hardpan.
Instances have also been observed
in the limestone sections of the East
ern and Southern states where alfalfa
was growing successfully on soil un-
derlain at depth Of but 18 inches
with limestone lodges.
