ACCEPTS NOES CHALLENGE

Bert Bruins writes the editor of the
Times-Record, and accepts, condition.
ally, Noes challenge to a handicap
match.
He writes that he is situated on a
farm about II miles northeast of Val
ley City, and that he is alone with his
work, and that he would wrestle if the
match would be held at the Noltimie1
Consolidated school which would only
be about half the distance for him to
come.
In the challenge Moe agrees to
throw Bruins twice in 80 minutes, win
ner take all, and this was with the
understanding that the match be held
in this city. The sentiment of the
wrestling fans seems to demand thai
it be held here, and there are mum
Der living in nearby towns who would
come if it was.
This without doubt will be an inter
esting match as Moe could not throw
Bruins in two hours of hard wrestling
last winter, but now offers to throw
him twice in 80 minutes, therefore il
should be held in a place easily &C
cessible to everyone.

Venus and Jupiter in Con-
junction Attract Attention

Everyone who looked into the west
ern sky Sunday evening was struck
with the beauty and brilliancy of two
stars that shone in such apparent prox
unity to each other. The star that ap
peared to be the largest was Venus
which for the last two nights has been
in conjunction with upirer, the largest
of the planets but which looked smaller
owing to the fact that Venus ib about
400,000,00O miles nearer the earth al
present than Jupiter. It is rare oc
currence to see these two stars in this
position in the heavens and their bril-
liancy in the clear sky attracted the at
tention of everyone. Venus is NOV
ing eastward towards us which &C
counts for it's apparently greater size
than Jupiter's.

Commission Refuses 10
Fix Rates for Storage

Bismarck, Feb. 15.-No rule will be
promulgated by the state railroad COM
mission to establish any fixed charge
for the storing and handling of grain
on the part of warehousemen in North
Dakota. Announcement to this effect
was made by the commissioners today
following a meeting last week at Far
60.
Absence Of any definite or formal
complaint Of conditions that would
tend to make it advisable for the COM
mission to take over the power of fix
ing a set charge for storage, is given
in the official report of the proceedings
and decision as the basis for the refus-
al to act. Discussing the conference
and order the commissioners say that
representatives of line and indie
pendent companies, and also Of those
farmers companies which do not dis.
tribute their dividends upon the pat
ronage basis were generally in favor of
rule regarding the uniform charge
for the storage and handling of grain
where it is not purchased at time of
delivery by the warehouseman. On
the other hand, the representatives Of
those elevators which are organized
upon a mutual or cooperative basis,
and perhaps more nearly representing
the grain growers than any other class
of warehousemen, opposed the estab-
lishment of any such rule.
While the commissioners will insist
upon it's right to make a rule which
would prevent any abuse that would
violate the spirit or letter of the anti
discrimination act, before we would be
justified in taking such a step we
would have to be thoroughly convinc-
ed that evils of this sort exist, and in
view of the fact that although ware
housemen of the state were quite gen.
orally represented at the conference,
no specific complaint was made, and
the commission having received no
complaint from the grain producers
which would be tracable to any such
evil, we are constrained to hold that it
is neither possible nor feasible at this
time to make any ruling or regulation
regarding any fixed charge for the
storing and handling of grain on the
part of the warehOusemen.

away. The doctor Immediately sum
moned Sheriff Fahrer, who placed

ployer and employee and only the
best of good feeling existed.

House Gives Personal
Lincoln Recouections


subject of Hon. w. M. House, of Wynd-
mere, who spoke in an interesting
manner from first hand experiences
for an hour and half before students
and citizens at the general exercises
at the Normal school on Saturday
morning.
In introducing the speaker of the
morning, President Mcfarland, alluded
to Abraham Lincoln as one Of the
great outstanding characters in the
country's history, one whose spirit
still dominates national affairs. He
gave to the nation his best self and
yielded even his life as martyr. It
is fitting to observe his birthday as
one of the sacred days on the nations
calendar, and it is more fitting that
teachers who are to lead others should
bring themselves into harmony with
: Lincoln's spirit of service and self-sac-
! rif1ce.
| Few still live who knew Lincoln per.
sOnally and the time will come soon,
when it will be noteworthy for one. to
! say he heard man who knew Lin.
coin personally. Such a man, Mr.. Nc.
! Farland said, was to be the speaker OF
the morning, and speaker all the
more appropriate because he had been
associated with the school system OF
the state.
Mr.. House opened his address with
the statement of conditions in North
Dakota and said that never a Kaiser OF
a King enjoyed more luxuries than the
citizens of this state. He alluded to
the railroad service, the telephone
telegraph, automobile, grain and vege
table products. No large city can have
better luxuries or greater comforts.
The speaker gave brief review Of
the war, the greatest in the worlds
history up to that time. Many more
he pointed out, were killed in single
battle than now live in Barnes county
One hundred thousand fell in few
days in the Battle Of the Wilderness
Over 2250 battles were fought in the
war; 1t was supreme and noun
mental effort for the supremacy Of the
country. And, because this was final
ly recognized, we now have peace and
prosperity.
In the course of his address, Mr.
House gave many interesting remin
|iscences. He told Of his enlistment
when he was only is years old. HI
heard Lincoln's second inaugural ad
dress. He mentioned and character
lied and told of the Importance of the
Lincoln-Douglas debates, Lincoln's an
ecdotes, his attitude toward the par
doning of soldiers.
Lincoln was a great man and owet
his success to his sanity, his reason
his craftsmanship and his common
sense, the speaker said.
Lincoln, though he attended schoo
less than twelve months, was a mas
ter in the use Of English. His Gettys
berg address, the speaker, character
lied as one of the greatest of master
pieces. His Emancipation Proclama
ton can be compared with the Magn,
Charta and the Ukas Of Alexander II
of Russia. |
Glasses dismissed in the Afternoon
and the time was spent in outdoo
sports. Students were rabbit hunting
skating, skiing and hiking and enjoyed

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-12-03
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, December 2.-(Special) James Dorman was commissioned by President Andrew Jackson to build the military highway from New Orleans to Nashville. While prosecuting this assign ment, he died in Alabama and was bur- jed at Redwood, in Franklin county
 The slab over his grave was erected so long ago that the exact date is not recalled, it is said, by the oldest inhab- itant of that section of Alabama. And yet, plainly discernible-eyen when pre- sented on a post card-is the lettering set tins forth the fact that underneath is inferred the intrepid major and that the year of his death was 1919.
 An analysis of the slab brings to light the information that it is made of lime stone-Ala abama limestone, the equal of the best produced in the United States. The break in the stone, as shown in the was caused. it is related, by heat from a fire sustained by dried leaves which had been piled underneath by squirrels.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL;
 CORRUPT PRACTICE ACT

The immigration bill which has been somewhat of feature of three adminis- trations, is now pending in the Senate. After long and fruitless debate it was put through the House in August with out material voting opposition. In the Senate it will eventually be passed by what promises to be an overwhelming ma jority. Time will be consumed, however, by certain so-called administration sena- tors who are aware that the President in all probability will veto the measure because of it's literary" test.
 That test, regarded as a "bugaboo' D provides simply that before a foreigner be admitted to the United States, le shall prove himself able to read clause in his native language or dialect At pres ent, it is indicated that the measure can be passed over the veto of the Presi- dent As to whether or not the complex tion of the situation--as in the past-is capab ble of change, cannot be foretold.
 The Owen corrupt practice act, limit ing contributions to campaign expenses, is one of the measures which "every- body favors but nobody wants" It was delayed in September because neither party desired its plans for the presidential campaign to be effected. The prediction is general that, after long delay it will be enacted during the ensuing winter session. It would cause little surprise however. were it so amended that what are regarded as it's teeth, will be satis- factorily withdrawn

 Labor
ENDS A HARD FIGHT

That the board of revenue has the legal right to construct the Nichols Ffshtrap highway to the Warrior river, under the acts of 1915, was announced in a decision of the state supreme court yesterday
 Pending careful study of the text of the supreme court decision, which in eff feet upholds the rulings of Judge C. B. smith, in dissolving the temporary in junction granted E. D. Hyche, a court baildff of Bessemer, preventing the awarding of any contract to build the Nichols Fishtrap road, the members of the board of revenue are reticent, al- though it is anticipated that a state ment from President Jerry Gwin, out lining the policies of the board, will soon be made public. The subject of the Nichols Bishtrap highway has been source of almost continuous agitation for the past year or more.

From what eminent geologist declare, the wonder grows in the east that Ala bama limestone is not more generally used in the construction of buildings in Alabama and other states of the south
 When it was thought probable some weeks ago that the proposed federal building in Birmingham would be con structed of limestone, Dr. Eugene A. Smith, geologist of Alabama, and one Of the best known men of the state, wrote Senator Underwood insisting that the limestone be the Alabama product. He declared that college buildings in Ala bama, made of Indiana limestone, had, after a few years wear, peeled, whereas other structures, made of Alabama lime stone, had held their excellent appear ance through as long a period of time.
 In this connection, it is reported in Washington that Foster and Creighton company, which firm at present Is op
 erating a large limestone finishing plant at Nashville, will in the immediate fu- ture transport its mill to Russelville, in Franklin county-there extensively to work in the Alabama limestone field.
