MORE REMARKS
EXPUNGED FROM
SENATE O

Washington, Nov. 23.-The> senate
today for the second time in as many
days, expunsed senatorial remarks
from the record. This time, how
ever, the remarks were stricken out
at the request of the man who made
them. Senator Reed. Democrat, of
Missouri. who by telegraph from his
home in Kansas City, asked that his
statements of August IS. in which he
denounced Representative Volstead,
Republican. Minnesota, be expunged.
The paragraph to which MI. Reed
referred described Mr.. Volstead as a
mar who thinks more of getting a
bootlegger han he doe of preserving
the palladium of human liberty" and
contained other remarks concerning
the Minnesota representative.
A resolution to strike out the
statements was introduced in the
house. several. weeks ago by Repre-
sentative Newton, Republican, of
Minnesota. but no action has been
taken. The senate action was made
on a motion by Senator Curtis, Re

New Contract For Sale OF

Continued from page,

taxpayers suit to restrain they carrying

arguments were presented Tuesday.
Representatives of Splitter, Rorick
and Co. conferred with Governor
Nestos last night and expressed the
desire ito work in harmony with the
new administration. ~,
II the terms should prove to be as
outlined above. the outlook was that
the Independent programrfor max
ing farm loans. and completing the
state mill and elevator at Grand
Forks could be carried out as planned.
On the other hand it was pointed
out that il an examination Of the con
tract should prove that the delivery
Of the. bonds. was to. spread over "A
long period OF, time. the carrying out
Of the program would be seriously
handicapped. ) y ~.
1t was also pointed out that six
per cent was rather a high interest
rate to be paid on state bonds.
The general tendency, however,
was to reserve comment until the
could be examined. This will be
possible. as soon as the new indie
pendent officials who will constitute
the Industrial Commission and will
thus have control owe the bonds and
their sale. take office. r. .s - ~t;
The, bonds thus reported sold, max
ing, up h e--entire amount the issue
of which. is at present authorized by

will thus be unable to make any bond
sales except those covered by the new
contract should this contract prove
to be as represented. 3D.

Walter 'Goyne, Noted
Dog Racer, Drowned

The Pas, Man., Nov. 23.-Walter
Goyne, veteran dog racer. known as
the "Going Kid Alaska" was drowned
in Moose lake, 80 miles from The
Pas, on November 13. On that date
Goyne set out from T. Dupas' trading
post at Moose Lake. for a fishing
camp, &c miles distant, for the pur-
pose of securing fish for his dogs He
was driving nine dogs, attached to a
ed by eleven pups. A, couple of days
later the eleven pups returned to Du-
pas. and the people there became ap-
prehensive; realizing that they would
not have left their owner had not
something happened to him.
Goyne's tracks weEe followed for
16 miles, where they disappeared, the
general theory being that he encoun-
tered thin ice at that point and went,
with the dogs and sleigh, through
into the lake. The sleigh which he
and would weigh 100 pounds. The
dogs, being securely harnessed would
have little chance Of escaping.
It IS highly improbable. that Goyne's
body will be recovered until the ice
.thaws in the spring. -
Goyne had a. number of dogs at
Moose Lake, which he was preparing
Tor the next Pas derby. to be held on
February 28, over, a zoo mile course
for a purse of>$2,500. He was en-
gagged in hauling fish for T. Dupas
and getting his dogs in racing trim.
The deceased dog Racer visited The
Pas for the 1920 dog race. which he
won in easy style, introducing new
methods of Harvesting and the Alas
kan sleigh a. against the local car
riole. ~s A~
He had previously done consider
able racing In Alaska and was a
cripple IN accountTof his feet having
been frozen and consequently neces-
stating his riding all the way behind
his dogs.
After annexing tho 1920 dog derby,
Coyne accepted a theatrical engage
ment in the United States and spent
the early part Of the winter 1920-21
in, Minneapolis and st. Paul.
In the latter part of last February
he arrived at The pas TO compete in
the annual dog derby held on March
1, in which he was the favorite. He
was unsuccessful. however, and de.
termined to make HIS headquarters
in. The Pas, and spend his time pre-.
pairing for subsequent races.

The situation is this: The examiner,

take this office away from a Lacquer
as it would be difficult, they believe,
for the new governor to find cause
for the removal of a man who had
been appointed to office only "a hours

figure, for the new governor to at
