CONSTRUCTION OF
EQUITY PLANT
WELL ADVANCED
Hoopman Says Structural
Steel Nearly All on Hand
At Present Time

L. G. Hoopman, manager OF the
Equity Cooperative Packing Co. OF
Fargo, today gave out the following
with reference to the company's con-
SIN the last thirty days, 7. r. Pow
ers Construction Co. has been able TO
make very good Roadway on the con-
struction of the Equity packing plant.
At the present writing the entire
foundations and walls for main build
ing and power house are completed
also the concrete work of the main
floor, and practically the entire Sec
ond floor are completed and, with an
other months fairly good weather, we
will have the entire fofmwOrSk OF
the third floor up and, IL weather con-
ditions permit, we expect to get the
concrete poured for same. Over so
per cent of the entire concrete has
been poured to date.
Steel Delivered.
THE structural steel for the entire
building is practically delivered and
the balance that is to come il either
in transit or will be shipped within
the next thirty days, so there will be
having no complaints whatever re-
garding deliveries OF sand and gravel.
Practically the entire equipment
contracts have been let and deliveries
on same are very favorablei however,
owing to the present unsettled condi-
tions, there is no one able to state
Just what the future results will be.
Nevertheless, we have the promise of
all the manufacturers to extend their
very best efforts in making deliveries
as promised, which they, no doubt,
will do very gladly, especially when
they know that we have the money
for payment of same waiting for them
as soon as they fulfill their contracts.
THE stock sales are coming along
very nicely According to our last
statement, we have sold over $4,000
and the present sales are coming in
very well. This proves for itself what
the people of the northwest really can
do without extending their efforts to
any great extent"

Visit to British Fleet Is
Described by Correspondent

home OF the grand fieet for three
years Is probably the finest Of its
kind in the world. The whole area
comprised in this British northern

odd square miles which the Germans
evacuated in France last spring. The

Of this great base. have room for
every kind OF practice manoeuvers,

On a sunny afternoon the CORE
spondent saw eight battleships at

seaplane- balloon ship at work under

warfare. and of around the edges,
various operations by innumerable
small craft and auxiliaTies.
Night Target Practice.
Night target practice, which also
is conducted within the harbor, Is
battleships steam down the nine
mile course. Suddenly a searchlight
picks up a target. Instantly every
turret is trained. every gun directed.
Then a button is pressed somewhere,
and the guns speak as with one voice
in a gigantic broadside that awakens
the echoes from the hills.
There is an infinite variety to the
turret practice on a big battleship.

POLITICAL RIOT
AT SHERBROOKE
Crowd Storms Theater
Where Cabinet Member
is Holding Meeting
lBy Associated Press.)

Sherhrooke, Que. Nov. 30.-A
rfotious crowd last night broke up a
meeting here at which Minister OF
Justice Dohrty and Hon. e. c. Bal
lantyne attempted TO speak. The
front OF the theater in which the
meeting was being held was wrecked
and there were many fist fights
among persons In the audience. Mr..
Dohrty is a member Of the cabinet
Of Sir Robert Borden.
The disturbance was the most
serious that has vet occurred in the
province OF Quebec in the present
general election campaign. The riot
ers were held back only by the use
of fire hose at the stage door. when
they attempted To storm the stage
where the speakers were.
The riot lasted three hours, during
which period the mob broke through
the doors Of the theater and were
repeIled each time by the citizens
who had been occupying seats on the
ground floor.
There were at least twenty pitched
battles. The entire front OF the thea
ter was smashed TO splinteTs.
Through the broken windows stones
were hurled.
At the end OF the meeting the
chairman called on the people to re-
main inside for a time in order that
steps could be taken 10 get the wOm-
en- away safely. The men decided 10
protect their own women and chairs
were broken so that the arms and
legs might serve as weapons and the
audience left the hall almost in a
body. The men presented such n
determined aspect that they were
not rushed as expected.

Red Lodge Man May Face
Sanity Commission In
stead of Jury
WAS BASTINADOED
BY COMMITTEE
Then Armed Himself And
Shot Neighbor Who
Tried to Approach
(By Associated Press J

Billings, Mont, Nov. so. = Emil
Koski the Finnish miner who shot
and killed his neighbor coUntry-
woman, Mrs. Anna Jackson, while
firing upon the Liberty committee,
which had called for. a second
inquiry into his seditious utterances
at Red Lodge Wednesday night, is
a raving maniac. Physicians, called
to observe his rawlings and in an eff
fort to quiet him. have pronounced
him insane, but whether Koski will
face a jury on a charge of murder
or a sanity commission, will not be
into the death of Mrs. Jackson,
which will probably be held tomor-
row at Red Lodge.
Koski exhibited symptoms OF in
sanity Wednesday night a few hours
after his arrest. When arrested, he
asserted that the Liberty committee
had beaten him over the back and
about the shoulders with a rope a
week ago, and while not denying that
he had emptied the magazines of
two rifles in repelling the commit
tees advance upon his house, he
indicated that the shooting OF Mrs.
Jackson as she returned to her apart
ment in the basement OF the Koski
house during the melee, was acci-
dental. 1t is the theory that Koski
in his excited state Of mind, fired
blindly at Mrs. Jackson in the belief
that members Of the Liberty COM
mittee", had restored to some
strategy to trap him.
Koski was summoned before the
Liberty committee" a week ago
night to answer to
charges Of making seditious utter
ances and agitating labor unrest at a
time when the industry in which he
is engaged is most essential to war
needs. No official report of that ses-
sion ever has reached the general
public, but a Billings man, who was
an eye witness, is authority for the
statement that ne was bastinadoed
and severely whipped.
After his appearance before the
Liberty committee, Kosk is said to
have assumed an even more defiant
and un-American attitude. He APP
parently "heeled" himself in antici-
patton of renewal Of hostilities, for
when he was arrested after the
shooting OF Mrs. Jackson, two rifles,
the magazines of which had been
emptied during the firing upon the
committee and the shotgun with
which he shot Mrs. Jackson, were
found in the house.

TDo Regiments of Same Army
Almost E1ternindte Each Other
Before Discovering Their Mistake
NV Associated PROSE-

Headquarters of the Italian Army
in Northern Italy, Nov. 30.-Details
have been officially received or one OF
the most sanguinary fights in the
northern zone in which two Austro-
Hungarian regiments fought until
they almost exterminated each other.
The fight was back Of Asiago during
one of the attacks against the Ital-
ians.
The enemy advanced from the two
TANKS and toward night a regiment
of Hungarian Czechs became engaged
with a regiment of Galtcian Poles,
both wearing different uniform and
speaking different dialect. The rifle
fire was followed by a bayonet charge
and then a hand -to-hand struggle
with grenades lasting through the
night, until the two regiments were
disentangled after heavy losses when
1t become known that they belonged
to the same side.
