NATIONAL PROHIBITION
Congress Has Put the Question Direct
ly Before the States for Decision
in Seven Years

Both houses of congress this week
passed a joint resolution for national
prohibition. The question will now
go before the legislatures of the var
ious states which are given until 1924
to accept the same. 1t requires a
three-fourths majority of the states to
adopt the resolution when it becomes
effective in one year. There are as
states and if 13 reject the amendment
or fail to adopt in the seven years it
is defeated. The fight is now trans
ferred to the states and it will be
necessary for the prohibitionists to
gain several new states. The fight
will be bitter one but the indications
for long drouth are very evident. II
is significant that the resolution was
passed while there was a new moor
that was very dry.

New Commander

General Deep Snow took over the
command of the entire western front
this week, and there will be no fur
ther important fighting in that main
theatre Of the war probably until
March. In the meantime the war will
be fought out in the factories and
the camps at home, and while less
spectacular the result will be just as
effective. The question of which side
is best prepared to strike the mortal
blow in March will probably be the
deciding feature of the war. Because
news OF this work will not be spread
across the front page each morning
will not detract from its real effec-
titveness. Everyone has part in this

STEEL FOR SPUR
FROM DILW0RTH
Contract For Reinforcing
Steel Let to Chicago
Firm

While the outlook month ago for
steel rails for the track spur to the
Equity 100000 packing plant was dis
couraging, officers of the packing
plant admitted this afternoon that Of
ficials Of the Northern Pecific Railway
Co. have assured them that they will
direct work on the laying Of the ties
as soon as the grade Is completed,
which will be some time the coming
week.
Traffic Agent Kraft OF the Northern
Pacific, who recently held a confer
ence with the officers of the packing
plant, stated that he was authorized
to make the announcement by Su-
perintendent Huntington OF the North
ern Pacific that enough rail is on hand
at Dilworth to go ahead with the
work of grading and excavating.
About $500 feet is needed for the
spur track to be run from the main
line Of the Northern Pacific to the
packing plant.
To Submit Plans Next Week.
Plans and specifications for the
building will be submitted to the bid
ders next week. All bids for the con-
struction of the plant are to be sealed
and to be filed at the office of the
Equity Packing Co. in the Hunting
ton building on Broadway and First
avenue north. These bids will be
opened by the board of directors at
the time the general contract 10
awarded. A representative or two
from the Chicago Architectural Co.,
who sketched the plans for the pro-
posed building, will be present at the
time.
Excavating started on May 10 by
T. F. Powers of the Powers Construc-
ton Co. of Fargo. To date the ex-
cavating for the cellar proper has been
completed, but not for the footings
of the main building. The general
contract for the construction of the
$400, 900 building will probably be let
on June 20, at least that is the date
which the officers are figuring on.
Another Contract Let.
Last week the officers Of the Equity
Packing Co. let the contract for the
reinforcing steel to the Corrugated
Bar Co. of Chicago, ILL.,, at a bid of
approximately $4,000. Shipments will
be made Immediately with promises
from the officials of the Northern Pa
cific Railway Co. that all shipments
directed to the Fargo packing plant
will be dispatched with all possible
promptness.

THREE MORE
STARS FALL IN
POLICE CIRCLES
Third Shake-up Friday
Since New Chief Took

Three officers of the Fargo police
force were summarily dismissed from
service Friday afternoon.
Chitf of Police Dahlgren was reticent
this morning when asked for the
ground for the removal of Plain
clothesman Fred Knowles and Patrol
men Eric Charlson and Joe Santel-
man.
Eric Charlson has been on the police
force since the first OF the year, and
Joe Santelman has been patrolman
since March 8, 1915. Both were under
the former chief, c. H. Troyer. Fred
Knowles has been with the force only
since May /.
The shake-up in police circles is the
third since the new administration,
and resulted in the appointment by
Chief Of Police Dahlgren of two new
men in the persons of William SWEET
land and Carl Belgard.
In the case of Fred Knowles, 1t was
explained that the police department
is short of funds and that to keep his
services until the first of September
would be beyond the allowance made
by the city budget for the year which
appropriated the sum OF $23,25O for the
police department.
Last year the amount appropriated
by thee ity commissioners for this
special department was $21,472. COM

from him and his wondrous discoveries we

that we have looked, into its mind and

haps we should add that Laurence Hope
plumbed its passion to its turgid depths.
And now we have Tagore, native who
in his verse has brought East and West

The Inventor of the Skyscraper

(From The Philadelphia Inquirer
Thirty years ago distinguished engineer
in Chicago proposed seriously to erect a
building twelve stories high. lie was called
insane The curious fact is that to-day he is
insane after having erected many Of the most
famous of the early skyscrapers. When he
had constructed a twenty-story building he
considered himself indicated but the Wool
worth Building makes the Chicago Masonic
Temple look like woodshed.
In the life Of a single generation the ap-
pcarance of the business districts Of every
American city has been completely changed.
In 1887 the most conspicuous object in New
York City to the man approaching it on a
ferryboat from Jersey City was the steeple
of Trinity Church. Now it cannot be seen
unless one looks very carefully for il and
knows just where to find the little object sur
rounded by temples of commerce. Phila-
delphia has been transformed in the City
Hall region in like manner
The point Of all this is that the originator
Of anything out Of the common is usually
held 10 be visionary. The constructive imagi-
nation which has accomplished so much in
the world is the greatest Of human powers,
but it is generally scorned until it achieves
success. lie is rash man in these days who
will deny that any project is possible. Thirty
years from now we shall probably lool; back
on conditions of to-day as provincial" and
primitive. It takes big mind to keep up
with the future.
