GENERAL W00DT0
INSPECT LINCOLN;
MAY BE OPENED
Commander of Central Division
Advises State Official of
Impending Visit
POST IN GOOD CONDITION

Fort Lincoln, successor to General
George Clusters old time command
one Of the most famous Of frontier
posts, may be reopened after five
years idleness as result of an in.
srection soon to be made by Major
General Leonard Wood, commander OF
the central division, in behalf of the
war department.
A prominent state official who met
General Wood in Minneapolis while
attending the Gopher state fair was
advised that the commander would
visit Bismarck within the next week
or two to look over Fort Lincoln ani
to report as to its availability for mil
itary uses. In view Of the recent an
rouncement that the war department
intends to double it's facilities for the
rehabilitation of injured soldiers, it is
thought possible that Fort Lincoln is
being considered in connection with
this work
Fort Lincoln is modern battalion
rost occupying beautiful, level tract
of $40 acres, overlooking the Missouri
river bottoms three miles southeast OF
Bismarck. The post was established
about decade ago and represents an
investment of approximately $1,000,
600. The barracks, officers quarters
gymnasium, drill halls and stables are
OF brick construction and in excellent
repair.
Troops from Fort Lincoln were re-
moved to the border at the beginning
of the Mexican troubles in 1914. The
post has since been occupied only by d
caretaker, although it was made a
mobilization point for the state troops
in 1916 prior to their dispatch for the
border, and again in 1917, when it was
occupied for several months by contin-
gents of the First North Dakota fol
lowing their enlistment for federal ser.
vice.
The post has frequently been recon.
mended as an ideal site for an avia-
ton camp.

Beach, N. D., Sept. 3.-That tht

Two weeks ago Blank published al
inference in the league Newspaper here
that the states attorney and sheriff
were parties to a conspiracy to kill
NJ. X. Howen, and then fled the state
TO Moorhead, where the law could not

er swore out complaint charging
Blank with libel and the sheriff went
in pursuit, chasing Blank from Beach
to Moorhead, the editor being kept
under cover along the route, it is said
and the circumstances indicate, by
friends Of the administration.
While Blank was absent, the league
paper here has been in charge of one
Howe, editor Of the league paper at
Jamestown, who announced several
times upon his arrival that he was the
official smoother and fixer of the Brin'
ton newspaper syndicate; that a mis-
take had been made in bringing Blank
to Beach, as he was the same rampant
disturber that Brinton was; that the
paper wanted peace and quiet In order
TO get business and that Blank would
not come back, but that another man
would be sent to take charge of the
paper
BLANK CAME BACK
However, Blank did come back Sat.
urday morning after having dodged
the law officers all the way from
Moorhead to Beach, and was promptly
arrested on Gallagher's complaint and
bound over to the district court or
$500 bond. Blanks adherents made
much adoo about this and threatened
that unless the case was dropped the
governor would remove both sheriff
and states attorney, and that they

was raided by masked bandit and
'$l25.OO lying on the table pocketed.
The robber was recognized as an /. w.

1or several days. Talk concerning the
affair resulted in the players paying
fines and getting suspended Jail SEN
tencts for gambling. Arrests were in
stituted by Attorney General LANCER.
Devils Lake has during the past ten
days witnessed and experienced a
gathering of the Wobbly clan. Over 300
men gathered in the city and held
meetings on the main streetA in front
of business houses. Speakers poured
forth violent TRADES against corpora
tions and capital. In many instances
speakers openly advocated the abol1-
ton of the. wage systems.
JeweIry Store Robbed
While speakers were busy, others
were not idle. The Huesgen jewelry
store was entered from the rear and
about $3.50 worth of watches and rings,
which had not been placed in the
vaults, were stolen. Early last Satur-
day morning two men, both holding I.
w. w. cards, hired a driver of the
State Auto company to drive them
out to a certain farm to join their
threshing rig. Three miles out Of
town the passengers poked gun at
the driver, stripped him of money and
other property, bound him and placed
him beside the road and went on with
the car. Saturday night William Trim

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 3.-De-
claring the real purpose of the foreign
relations committee majority in
amending the peace treaty was to kill
the treaty entirely ana that such a
course would be suicidal to the Unit

the changes proposed by the commit
tee.
The treaty opponents, he said,
"crawl on the ground with micro
scope searching for pitfalls" and
overlook the substantial benefits which
the treaty would bring. The proposal
of Senator Knox, republican, Pennsyl-
vania, that the treaty be rejected and
a separate peace with Germany be
made was characterized by the speak
er as an "insane mixture of poltroonry

LABOR SHORTAGE
HINDERING WORK
ON NEW PAVING
Six Blocks of Curbing Com.
pleted, But Paving Tagging
Because of Delays

Meeting handicaps which it has
found wholly unavoidable the con
tractors handling the work for paving
district No. 3 in this city, are max
ing progress as rapidly as they can
but unless exceptional good luck befalls
them this month, it is not believed
now that they will be able to complete
the paving before October Is, the
expiration of the contract.
The present difficulty is lack of la
Dor, it was said today. 1t is almost
impossible to secure sufficient men to
handle the present work, and when
the mixer is started this situation will
on railroads and the congestion OF
freight, considerable delay was ex-
perienced when the work was first
started in the delivery of equipment
and supplies in this city, but this has
now been overcome.
Work Done To Date
Practically so percent of the rough
grading and eXcavating has been fin
ished up to the present time. Curbing
on six blocks aggregating approxi-
mately 4,2O0 feet, has been installed
and the paving will be installed on
these streets first. The streets are
Washington, between 3 and G, Second
between B and d, Avenue D between
Second and Fourth and Third street
between Avenues G and D.
Another difficulty that the contract
ors have been meeting is the fact that
all of the gas and sewer piping that
is to be installed in the streets to be
paved have not been put in yet. This
work is being pushed, however, and it
is not now expected to hinder grading
and excavating any further.
Two carloads of crushed Duluth
granite arrived today from that city
and 20 carloads of gravel are due here
today. Carloads of cement have been
arriving practically daily. The paving
mixer is on the ground, having ar
rived Monday, and the curbing mixer
has been in constant use for the past
two weeks.
Few Men At Work.
At the present time, eleven men are
at work, but sixteen men at least are
needed. Form settlers, it is said, are
greatly in demand and if this class of
labor could be obtained, the curbing
could be completed in very short
time. When the paving mixer is oper-
ating, it keeps a force of from 25 to
to so men busy all Of the time This
gives some idea Of how rapidly the
work can be completed when once the
labor shortage is satisfactorily set
tied.
All of the paving in this district
will consist of five inches of cement
and gravel base on top of graded
road with top composed of two
inches of Duluth granite, concrete
and sand. This gives firm foundation
with a long-lived surface for all kinds
of traffic, it is said.
B. H. Tong, inspector of concrete
work for the city, reported today that
the type of work being performed is
of very high grade and that the
contractors are meeting all of the spec
ifications in the contract. According
to Mr.. Tong this particular piece Of
paving will be the, best Of its kind
