This consolidation OF railways
has been brought about by the war.

The council of national defengs

Willard and his co-workers were
assured that military necessity
justified any steps. to produce eff

might perfect consolidation with
out fearing unpleasant conse-
lquences.
What will happen to this huge
railway consolidation after the
war is a question which will prob
ably wait until after the war for
solution. 1t is likely to prove the
first step toward government own

roads Will either own the govern

LIVE STOCK PRICES
GOOD FOR 3 YEARS
Scarcity Of Live Stock Predicted By
international President

Raise ore live stock; there will
be high prices fer at least three years
to come; this is an emergency mes
sage to farmers and stock growers
from G. Howard Dawson, president of
the International Live Stock EXPOSE
tion and chairman of the executive
committee Of the National Agricultur-
al Society.
Says Mr.. DAWSON: I'm my judg-
ment there will be a scarcity of nearly
all kinds of live stock for some time
to come and farmers and stockmen
should make their plans accordingly.
This mean that there should be no
selling of young animals or female
breeding stock merely because cur
rent prices are high. Better money
can be made by working on the UNDER
standing that high prices for hogs.
cattle, sheep and other live stock will
rule for at least three or four a
to come.
There is no doubling this in view
of the knowledge that Europe has lost
over so per cent of its live stock
that the whole world in fact is suffer-
ing from a serious shortage in all
kinds of food animals.

After re-reading the Presidents elo-
quent appeal for a united country in
this moment of great emergency-just
as a bit of variety read this editorial
from the Minneapolis Journal:
Whether Colonel Roosevelt, in or
ganizing his volunteer division for
immediate service at the front, is ami
mated by motives of pure and strenu-
Gus patriotism alone, or consciously
aspires to become the American mill
tary hero of the war, is a question that
will be answered by most persons ac-
cording to their estimate of that great
leaders character.
But in any event it is perfectly OBJ
vious that certain powerful influences
in Washington are resolved that Col
onel Roosevelt shall not have the op-
portunity thus to become a hero, il
they can prevent it. For heroism SO
displayed might become a potent poll
tical factor after the war.
The Senate inserted a clause in the
army CONSUMPTION bill which would
make it possible for the Roosevelt
expedition to be sent. The House ap-
proved of tho plan. And on this dis
agreement hangs the vexatious delay
in agreeing on the bill in conference
The argument for sending Roose-
welt and his volunteers to the front
rests chiefly on the fact that in Eu-
rope he is the best known American
His fame has spread among all the
peoples now at war. They look upon
him as in some sort the typical Amer.
ican-energetic, resourceful, courage.
Gus, indomitable.
If the politics could be squeezed out
of the affair. there would be little
question of the decision. Meanwhile
the whole machinery Of raising the
new army has been held up by thu
dispute.

OLD FAIR GROUNDS SOLD
HORSEMEh BUY TRACK

c. F. Erickson announces the sale
of the fair. grounds east Of the city TO
A. B. Catalan. This tract OF 10 acres
was purchased and arranged for a
county fair some years ago, but about
that time the big state fair was moved
to Huron, in the adjoining county If
Beadle. With the state fair SO close
and held at about the same time in
the fall, a county fair attracted very
little attention, and the project was
abandoned.
A number of local horsemen have
organized a company to purchase a
portion of the grounds including the
C track and barn. A separate CON-
pany owns the grand stand and track
fencing, which may be wrecked and
removed.
Mr.. Catalan says he will divide the
balance of the grounds facing Third
street into lots or acre plots for
building.

CONGRESS FAVORS 7. R.
With CHANCE TO GO

Washington, May 12.-The way was
cleared in congress today for Col.
Roosevelt, If he is given authorization
by the administration to raise a divi-
sion of volunteers for service in
France.
Reversing its previous action and
overriding the conference commit
tee on the army draft bill, the house
voted 215 to IT'S, to empower the
president to extend authority for re-
cruiting such a division. This sent
the army bill back to conference, but
the senate already had adopted a
similar authorization during original
consideration of the measure and its
~conferees are expected to agree quick
ly to it now.
