sued by the Railroad Commission
of Louisiana would no doubt be an
interesting article to be pub
lished in your papers if you could
spare the space, as I feel that it
is one of considerable Importance
"The railroads Of the country
have been informed by the Rail-
roads War Board that by making
repairs quicker, by better move
ment. and by heavier loading, it
was in the range Of possibility to
make such saving in the use OF
freight cars that it would be
equivalent to adding to the avail
able equipment, in the United
States 10000 cars. The car
riers and shippers have been
asked. as a patriotic duty to strive
to attain that goal. 1t is stated
anthoritatively that the shortage
e0f freight ears in the United
States was reduced during the
mouth Of May from 1882 to
los, 127 cars-almost one-third.
This marked reduction in one
month, following four months of
rapid increase. is attributed to
1ahe prompt response on the part
of both shippers and railroads. to
the specific suggestion which has
been made bv the Railroads War
Board as to how to secure effec-
tive use of existing equipment.
~SSome of the suggestions are:
load cars ten per cent in excess
of marked capacity; load and un-
load cars promptly; reduce per-.
scentage of cars and locomotives
under repairs; improve methods
of firing locomotives; defer scrap
ing light locomotives; speed up
handling of ears in terminals. Tt
as believed if the shippers on
their part exert every effort and
are met with sincere cooperation
by the carriers, the maximum
national TRANSFORMATION efficiency
will be reached.
. 1tYrafic on railroads increases
~as the war progresses, and the
task Of meeting promptly all
needs Of service is growing more
difficult.
"Shippers and receivers Of car
load Freight and authorities must,
therefore, strive to augment the
efficiency Of freight cars. Vol
unfairly by cooperation, is the
better plan than the adoption of
stringent rules by various State
commissions or the Interstate
commerce Commission, or by
Councils Of Defense or War
Boards.

ALTHEAS PROVE BEST OPENING

Canon Citys third annual Redpath-
Horner Chautauqua, bigger and bet
ter than ever before. opened this af-
ternoon at 2:45 with the Althea play
ers, group of lovely girls. giving the
best opening program seen here.

had made all preliminary arrange
ments SO that the tent crew could
get to work on a moments notice.
Equipment is Better.
The tent this year is larger than in
previous years. 1t is arranged differ
emily on the Chautauqua grounds at
the Washington school. The stage
faces the east this year, instead of
the north. as in previous years. The
stage is larger and is completely en-
closed, very much like permanent
theatre. The seats have all been
made higher so that more comfort can
be afforded the audiences. Every seat
is so arranged that good view of the
stage can be had, no matter where
one sits.
As usual, the Redpath-Horner cir
cult bought entirely new equipment
this year. They bought larger tents
than they had ever used before. The
growing attendance at their Chautau-
quas made this necessary. II was, by
the way, splendid piece of foresight
on the part of the management for the
reason that the excellence of the pro-
gram this year has been attracting
remarkably large attendances wher-
ever the ChautauQua has been.

Moorhead Department
Hear Arguments in
Favor of Concordia

and Of student attendance was also
made. The bearing of the relation Of
the two schools and the probable sue
cess in the future was discussed. The
committee was favorably impressed
with the showing made for Concordia
and left for Minneapolis on an early
morning train.
1t is not probable that the report
Of the committee win be made public
until 1t Is submitted to the large
union committee Of the three uniting
bodies of the church for approval or
rejection.
In support Of the claims Of Concord
Ia large chart was used by Pres.
Aasgaard. It showed the territory
embraced within a fifty mile radius of
Moorhead to include a. Scandinavian
population Of 32,565, according to the
1910 census. In a circle Of the same
radius from Fergus Falls the Scandin-
avian population in 1910 was $4,000.
In a circle with 100 mile radius the
population tributary to Moorhead
was 10000, and in q like territory
with Fergus Falls as q center the
population was $4,000. Since 1910
there has been a great increase and
the growth Of population is greater in
the Moorhead territory as it covers
newer country where more settlers
are locating.
Another argument in favor Of Moor
head is that a large part of the terri
tory southeast Of Fergus Falls is not
tributary to that city on account Of
railroad facilities. Another reason is
that much of this territory is tribu-
tary to st. Olaf college at Mortified.
Members Of the visiting committee
expressed their qualification over the
action Of the Moorhead Commercial
NlI ipN Al d.
This action has removed
one Of the strongest obstacles in the
path Of Concordia and will materially
assist its future.

VICTORY
FOR DRYS
IN MINI.
Big Day for Prohibition
Alaska Voted Dry by
u. S. Senate
(Bv Associated Press.1


st. Paul, Jan. 31.-The temperance
forces in the Minnesota house of
representatives today came out VIC
tors in the first test of strength on
the question Of statewide prohibition
by constitutional amendment when
the amendment prohibiting importa-
ton Of liquor in the state was rein
serted in the Larson bill by a vote of
80 to 40. -.---- .r--
Opponents Of the clause included
the straight vets and those who would
favor importation of liquor into the
state. Both sides saw to it that their
absent members were on hand. The
drys hurried Rep. Oscar Stenvick Of
Bagley, who has been confined to his
home with a broken leg, to the house,
and the vets brought Rep. Charles w.
Bouck Of Royalton, who has been suf-
fering with pneumonia, to the chamber
in a taxicab accompanied by nurse.
