GREETINGS OF YUMA
 HAVE DESIRED EFFECT

Secretary Alexander, of the Com mercial club, has received a great number of letters since the flood dis aster of January 22, and 30, from the friends of Yuma from various parts of the country, asking the exact situa- tion.
 In order to convince the general public that Yuma is still on the map, that the flood didn't dampen our ar. dor, and didn't wipe Yuma off the map, as some have imagined, MT. Alexander, ever a booster, has issued the following circular letter, which he sends to every one making an inquiry about Yuma's present condition.
 The first answer to one of these circulars was received this morning.
 Following is Secretary Alexander's unique and praiseworthy circular, to- gether with the answer from the President of the Hollenbeck Hotel:

oNE-MAN COMMISSION
HAS BEEN ENDORSED
Best Existing Authorities To Be
Consulted in Preparing Bill
for Presentations

Following tho return Of Chairman
F. E. Packard of the state tax COM
mission from conference at Fargo
of the Cook county, Illinois, Civil SER

that a model civil service measure
will be drawn up. Immediately and a
draft presented to Mr.. Catherwood.
Upon his approval, the bill will 60 to
the Hon. Lynn J. Frazier for his re-

proved it will be presented to the 1917
legislative assembly for adoption.
President Catherwood met Chair.
man Packard in Fargo at the latter'e
request. He came from Red Wing
Mimi, where he had addressed the
Minnesota League Of Municipalities
upon the subject Of civil service
which is Mr.. Catherwood's hobby.
Mr.. Catherwood endorsed the idea
of a one-man commission Tor North
Dakota, expressing the belief that II
the law is properly drawn up, one ex.
ecutive should answer the purpose
very we'll. The Chicagoan has loan.
ed to the state his reference library
on civil service. and in drawing w
the proposed North Dakota measure
the best existing authorities of Amer
lea, New Zealand, Australia and the
Dominion will be consulted.

Action
of Motormun
Saves Youths

, But for the quick action upon the
part Of Motorman O'Connor, two Bis
marck lads would have paid their fool
hardness with the loss Of life or limb
last week. Youngsters attending the
North Ward school have formed the
habit of dashing in front Of the Capital
car, just Ito see how close they can
miss It," Yesterday a young son of
DR.. w. F. Crewe and his playmate
darted out in front of the car as 1t was
speeding northward, and as they turn
ed to get out Of the way, they collid-
ed, both tumbling to the track. only
q few feet in advance of the fender.
Mr.. O'Connor applied the emergency
brakes and stopped his car within q
few inches of the PROSTATE lads. He
then left his car and gave chase to
the boys, who darted away when as
surred they had been spared. One Of
them was captured and turned over
to his father, who no doubt will see to
it that this feat is not repeated. Mot
orman O'Connor asks that parents OF
other young children attending the
North Ward school warn them Of the
danget. Slippery rails or sluggish
brakes may result in tragedy at this
point any day il the practice is per-
sisted in, declares Mr.. OConnor.

FATHER LONESOME
FOR LOST GIRL
Daughter of .Kidder County
Farmer, Who Eloped, Is
Still Missing

jamestown, N. D., Oct. 21.-In q
little farm home short distance from
Tappen, N. D., in which dishes re-
main unWashed, beds not made and
no warm meals are cooked, there sits
farmer Of medium build but with the
love Of a frontiersman, willing to for.
give and to forget IL his daughter
would but return.
II Miss Mary Riddle, the 16.year-old
daughter of Fred Riddle, prosperous
Kidder county farmer, who eloped
with F. Chance, an engineman in that
vicinity last Tuesday night and fol
which the male member Is under ar
rest at Steele, would but return to her
daddy" she would be received with
arms 0ut-stretched.
MARY, was my housekeeper." said
Riddle in telling of the elopement
here this morning. "She was the best
little housekeper in the land. She
just must return to take care of the
little home for there is no one else
to do it, but Mary. I'll forgive Mary
and welcome her home with arms out
stretched but I'll never forgive the
man who attempted to take my daugh-
ter away from me-
That the girl eloper is in James
town is the opinion of the farmer,
who has been searching for her ever
since Chance was arrested in this city
late Thursday night, following the SEN
sational elopement in which the cou.
pie was arrested at Medina and then
escaped when officers debated propo-
sitiOn as to which should have the
honor of the arrests.
Riddle will give no credit to the
story in circulation that it is believed
his daughter went to the Twin Cities.
mo, won't believe that" he told
several of his friends who are assist
ing him in the search. "She's in
jamestown. | know we will find her
here"
No other story unless it deals with
the finding of the girl in tho Twin
Cities or some other place will shake
the belief held by the father.

Make GOOD
SHOWING At
MANDAN FAIR
North Dakota Reform School
Youngsters Garry Away
Many Good Prizes
sUPT. JAMES DEV1NE
IS HIGHLY ELATED
Head of Institution Says Schools
Exhibits Were Best on
Record

Supt. James Devine of the North
Dakota reform school is justified in
doing a little Dragging in a letter to
the board Of control over the show
ing made by his youngsters at the re-
cent Missouri Slope fair at Mandan.
1T was generally admitted" says
the former governor, that our farm
and garden display was by all odds
the best exhibit at the fair. We took
in the several departments % blue
ribbons and three red ribbons. They
were as follows: First on year-old
bull, first bull calf under six months,
first heifer under two years, first heif-
er under six months, sweepstakes and
blue ribbon on board, first year-old
SOW, sweepstakes on so- ind little
pigs, first yellow dent corn, second
red dent, first navy beans, first sheaf
Of oats, first sheaf of millet, first
mangel wurtzel, second bundle of al
falfa, first yellow onions, first bunch
of celery. first rutabagas, second car
rots. first hubbard squash. first half
dozen citron, first satisfy, first white
potatoes, second pair Rhode Island
chicks, first pair Of Leghorns, first
pen of fowls.
Devine Was Tickled
1T was with a whole lot of. pleas
ure that l brought these blue and red
ribbons home. The whole exhibit had
the tendency to attract the attention
of the farmers in q direct and practt-
cal way. Quite few expressed the
desire of coming over and visiting.
and some of them have, when hereto
fore they hardly knew where the
school was located. The prizes In
themselves are not SO important, but
to win blue ribbon in competition
means a whole lot, at least to the boys
who did the work. We had picture
taken of the prize animals while on
the ground and also f1ashlight OF
the vegetable and farm exhibits"
Wants More Money
Mr.. Devine wants more money with
which to attend to the needs of his in
stitutiOn, and the board of control is
inclined to believe that such exhibits
as the above should have favorable
effect on the legislators next winter.

PREDICTS TWO MORE
YEARS OF BIG WAR

Fargo, who has just returned from
an extended tour of the Scandinavian
countries.
Indications are, from the Morse
point of view, that the war will con-
tinue at least two more years. Living
in Norway has advanced materially.
wages of craftsmen and artisans have
increased, but the wages of clerks,
and similar employees, have not gain

living costs become normal again

Railroads Suffering From
Most Serious Car Shortage
In History of all Roads

St. Paul, MIMI, Oct. 21.-Railroads
are now suffering the most serious
freight, car shortage in history, &C.
cording to J. C. Woodwork, vice pres
ident in charge of traffic of the North
ern Pacific railway. He asks the CO.
operation of shippers In overcoming
the difficulty.
There would be no car shortage"
Mr.. Woodwork declared, were the
railroads not obliged to carry, in ad
dition to their own traffic, the enor-
nous coast-to-coast tonnage which
was carried through the Panama ca.
nal by ships which have wholly de.
serted this trade to seek greater prof
its elsewhere. Ship owners, Of
course, cannot be blamed for doing
this, and they might have made some
increases in rates and kept their ves-
sells in this trade had it not been for
transcontinental railroad rates, which
cannot be raised without approval Of
the federal authorities.

equipment to meet all ordinary re-
