FARMERS RAILWAY
PROPOSED AT AMIDON

B. H. Borresen returned the
latter part of last week from
Amidon where he had been in
attendance at a meeting of rep
resentatives of the different
communitis between Dickinson
and Amidon. The meeting had
been cal ed for the purpose of
taking over the proposition of
building a railway from Amidon
to Dickinson to connect with the
Northern Pacific at that place.
Mr.. Borresen stated to the
Herald on his return that they
had an excellent meeting and
that 1T was almost a certainty
that the road would be butt 1t
is planned to raise money by
assessing the farmers along the
proposed road 81 per acre on
their land and issue stock to the
parties that are paying in the
money. Amidon and Dickinson
have agreed to raise quite a
large sum and it will therefore
be a simp e matter to secure the
funds.
Borresen, who has acquired
considerable reputation as a civil
engineer in this section, has
been offered the position of To-
eating engineer and it is very
probable that he will accept, pro-
vided the work can be arranged
SO as not to interfere with the
work at the Haynes Coal mine.

LACK OF INTEREST
CLOSES BIG CONTEST

The Herald Fair Girl Contest
Is no more. The Herald office
has decided that they would
rather collect their subscriptions
and apply the receipts on the new
press than try to coach the girls
that are entered in the contest.
Some of the girls deserve credit
for the sp endid manner. in
which they have worked on the
subscription proposition and it is
very probable that a very pretty
race between two of the contest
ants would have been the result.
This, however the Herald did
not want. What it did want to see
was ten or telve contestants, all
working to win the prize for
themse yes.
To those who have worke the
Herald will give special prizes
and commi 5sions in accordance
with the subscription secured
and asks that any one who has
subscriptions collected to turn
them in at once SO that the con-
testants can be checked and the
affair closed.

tered capitalization to the limit
and who now say that any in
creased cost due to performing
an act Of simple justice to its
employees must be borne by the
public. slnp Y amazing.
After having been granted
rates. a remarkable boom in
business has taken place, and
the roads find themselves ex-
'eeedlnly prosperous. In Janu-
ary of 1916 their own bureau,
the Bureau of Railway Econom-
les, shows that net operating
income of the raj ways of the
United States increased Sill per
mile. or CAS- per cent. as COM
pared with January of 1915. SOL
per cent as compared TO the pre-
ceeding five year..
This summary, covering roads
operating 80 pc rcent Of the to-
tai mileage of the country,
shows that after paying all ex-
penses. nearly $65, 100000 was
eft for rentals. improvements,
new construction, interest and
dividends. Rentals are a very
small proportion of the whole;
money put into improvements
and construction means increas-
ing value of the property, a di-
rect gain to stockholders; and
payments Of interest and divi-
dends constitute the immediate
return in do lars and cents to
the gentlemen who own the
roads for a living. $65, 600, 900
in one month is comfortable
little sum to go for these pur-
poyes. And we cannot see how
the peop of the United States
can regard with equanimity an
attempt oil these railroad gentle
men to increase rates because
Of any alleged additional pay
ments to raj road labor, so long
as they are getting sixty-five
millions in net operating in
come per month from their rail
road property.
We believe that the country
owes It's support of these men
who are making the fight for
the elght-hour day. We believe
that the country will support
them. Men engaged in railroad
operation ought not be compel
led to work longer hours.
The eight-hour day is fair,
Just and reasonable. In trying
to prevent its adoption. the raj :
roads are standing in the way
Of industrial progress.

PERSIA VICTIM OF ACCIDENT
May Have Been Sunk by Internal Elk
plOsiOn.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Information
contained in some Of the affidavits
taken from the Persia survivors has
caused government experts here to
consider. the possibility that the ship
might have been sunk by an internal
explosion rather than by a mine or
a submarine. No final opinion has
been reached.
The cabinet was in session more
than two hours today and it was un-
derstood that the submarine question,
including the Lusitania case, was dis
cssed.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing now are awaiting word from
Berlin on the Lusitania settlement
They expect the case will be closed
within the next week.
Extension of German and Austrian
assurances regarding submarine war
fare in the Mediterranean to their
allies is still under consideration, but
it was said today that no definite steps
had been taken.
