EQUITY ACTION TO Be
HEARD HERE In OCTOBER
Matter of Transfer Facilities to be
Aired Regarding Installing A
Transfer Track at Eluin.

Col. 1. N. Steen, states attorney for
Grant county, has been called to Far
go on October 5, to appear in chanc-
cry action brought by the Northern
Pacific and the Chicago, Milwaukee
st. Paul against the board of rail-
way commissioners, the attorney gen.
eral and the states attorney of
Grant county, to show cause why
these railway companies should be
compelled to install a transfer track
at Elgin.
Although the two lines run within
a few feet of one another at Elgin,
no transfer facilities have been pro-
vided there, and shipments for Mil
waukee line points have been taken
on to Mott and transfer made there.
This practice has added to the
freight rates which good sized towns
like Leith, Raleigh, and Shields have
had to pay on commodities shipped
from Bismarck, and it has discrtm-
mated more or less, 1t is claimed,
against Mandan and Bismarck whole
sale houses, in favor Of those Of
Aberdeen.

and one OF the laws we are all
acquainted with that the rich
should give more than the poor.
Fargo must set the pace in Red
Cross contribution work in the state.
She is the most progressive city in
the state. The eyes Of the other
cities are upon her and her news
papers. i never saw such a spirit
prevailing in any city for the good
of humanity as in Fargo, am told
that in just few years the city has
given thousands to charity. AS you
make your own record today so shall
your comfort be hereafter. There is
only one time to be pacifist and
that is in time of peace. We must
receive service from men and women
who are broad enough to give to
humanity regardless of what some
one else is doing. We are up against
a proposition where we put forth
all that is in us. If we can do just a
little we must do that little, but

OF none other than Provost Marshal
General Crowder, received in official

drill five hours in unfamiliar shoes,
even though they may be the best the
regulations provide. So he now di-
reefs that draft bodies advise men
about to leave for mobilization camps
to take with them a pair of COM
Portable shoes.
Many of the men who left in the
first deliveries to Camp Dodge did not
have the benefit of this advice. 1t is
rumored they neglected to include in
their baggage the good, old, down-at-
the-heel, spread toed, corn discour-
aging shoes which they were wont to
wear around home or on rainy days
in the office. They tried out the
sands of Camp Dodge and then hur-

that so per cent of the wounded peo-

and he urged the people to give all
they can even If it hurts. When he
told Of the percentage of soldiers
saved he said he wondered If 1t was
not already impressed on North Da-
kota and Fargo what the state and
its citizens should do for the Red
Cross. He told in brief of the. dis
couragement of the Russian soldiers
on the front, saying that he had been
informed there were only about 5000

the Russian battlefields and that
about $4,000 ambulance wagons were

In the smaller communities is still in

There are many towns we'll located

industries leaving. and if industries
continue to leave what is going to be-

II 10 an Easier Task Now Than IL Was

Vessels built TO navigate under wa
ter require particular care IN their
construction, for when they are sub
merged they have to Withstand the
pressure OF water from all sides with
out showing the slightest leak.
The newest submarines must be able
to sink to u depth Of 80 feet or more.
At such u depth the pressure Is ire
mendous, and If the joints are not per
feet water squirts in as though through
a hose pipe. Ten years ago testing
new submarine was dangerous job.
She might not be watertight. Her bal
ance might not be perfect, or, again
the air system might not be equal to
blowing out the water from her tanks.
Terrible accidents have occurred in
testing new under water boats during

is thing of the past. A testing dock
