North Dakota, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Washington
Will Be the Center OF Nom
partisan League Senatorial
Activities This Year.
neraae Special servtce)

washington, Feb. Conditional
Nonpartisan League activities in SEN
atorta! fights this year will be center
ed largely on four states. Wisconsin.
Minnesota, North Dakota and Wash
ineton. In other agricultural states,
due to, insufficient membership and
ineffective organization, the league
will not attempt to exercise any great
influence.
Drives for Increased membership
are under way now In the states where
the major battles are to be fought.
The membership fee has been reduc-
ed from SIS for two years to S12. or
Sc a year. Conditions in agriculture
Throughout the country have resulted
In widespread discomfort, but many OF
the farmers who might otherwise join
feel they cannot afford even the re-
duced membership charge.
Representatives OF the league now
In Washington state that so far only
one senatorial candidate in the four
states is certain to have the support OF
their organization. He is Senate Rob.
ert NJ. LaFollette Of Wisconsin, whose
term will expire March 4 next AND
who must stand for reelection this
fall.
- In other states there are candidates,
who are certain to have tho opposition
of the league, but the ones to be sup
ported have not ben selected.
LaF'ollette's Views.
LaFonette does not agree with all
the views Of the league. but his opin-
ions are much more generally in line
with the desires of that organization
than any other member of the senate
with the exception Of Senator E. F.
Ladd of North Dakota, who was elect
ed two years ago with the endorse
ment OF the league.
Right now LaFollette Is alternating
some of the agricultural support by
declaring that the wages Of railway
employees proportionately are not as
high Is they were before the war and
should not be reduced further. Many
farmers believe that railroad rates on
agricultural products cannot be low.
cred until wages of railway employees
are. further reduced.
Perhaps the most interesting fight
from the league standpoint is develop
ing in North Dakota, where that or
sganization ait one time controlled all
the major state offices, but lost them
last year on a recall election. Many
persons who pronounced the recall a
death sentence failed to realize that
.the recall succeeded by an average OF
only 4,5O0 votes out of 100000 cast

Return From Auto Trip.

Mrs. J. Ellenbaum, her daughter
Mary, and Florence NJ Stark, re.
turned last Friday from their motor
trip to Kenmare, N. Oak. They were
travelling and visiting friends in North
Dakota for more than two weeks
They remained for several days in
Valley City as the guests Of Mrs
Joseph Wilding, who accompanied
them during the remainder of the
trip. At Kenmare the party was en-
tertained by Mrs. Ellenbaum's broth
ers, John and Edward Donnelly. The
motorists on their return trip visited
Miss Viola Schenke at her home near
Wahpeton.
Mrs. Ellenbaum states that the
roads in Minnesota were in excellent
condition, while in Dakota they were
only fair. The only real difficulty en-
countered on the road was in the
vicinity of Minot. That city was Wis
tied by severe storm just as the
motorists arrived there, and they
were compelled to drive through so
miles of heavy gumbo. The members
of the party report that in almost ev-
cry village comfortable accommoda-
lions are available at tourist camps.

FLAMES CONSUME CAR.
Overland Sedan Burns; Only TIL,
Chassis Remains; Gasoline Tank
Does Not Explode.

Does Not Explode.
Tuesday morning A. G. Scalberg
and A. Escherich, proprietors Of the
Riverside garage, were called to Green
lake to start a car. They drove a
1920 model Overland sedan. On the
Silver lake road coming back, when
about three miles from town, the car
suddenly took fire just under the gas
tank. Stopping the car Mr.. Scalberg
attempted to extinguish the flames
with sand, until Mr.. Eschrich remind
ed him that the gas tank might ex-
plode. Not caring to take further
risk they withdrew to safe distance
and watched the flames make short
work of their car, which was soon re-
duced to the bare chassis. Although
the heat was so intense that the wind
shield melted the gas tank did not ex-
plode.
They removed the car fram the road
and left it for the appraiser to view.
During the night someone removed the
lamp, doors and bulbs.
There was but small amount of in
surance carried, so that the car will
represent almost a total loss.

tration. He suggests a federal COM
mission, consisting Of three operators,
three miners, and five representatives
Of the public, be appointed. According
Ito the presidents proposals, the de-
cisions Of the commission shall be ac-
cepted as final. This commission shall
determine if possible within 80 days
temporary basic wage scale which
scale shall be effective until March 1,
1923. In event that the commission
is unable to report it's scale by August
10 it shall have power to direct con-
tinued work on 1922 scale until the SUI
perseeding scale is ready. President
Harding proposes that in the mean
time the miners return to work on the
scale of wages which expired March
81. The 1922 scale would then be eff
fective until August 10.

The Shopmen's Strike.

The railway executives refuse to
meet the representative of the 4OO,-
900 striking shopmen, but will leave
settlement with the railway labor
board. Somewhat contradictory strike
reports are published daily. The ira
ditional Philadelphia lawyer could not
give correct resume of the present
situation. Very few if any men have
Ereturned to work and although the
northwest is worrying about coal sup
plies, and it's transportation, the coal,
If any is mined, does not come to Du-
luth. AS usual the general public will
be the goat. If one side becomes
willing to make concession the other
Immediately stiffens its demands. The
government officials are attempting
to find some basis of understanding.
Both sides are careful not to close the
door of arbitration absolutely. This
is the only hopeful sign that can be
seen for settlement.

Members of the Organization Assume
Responsibility of Erecting a
Building at Cemetery.
The members of the Civic Better
ment club held short session Tues
day afternoon. The attendance is
rather small during these summer
months.
The committee that had been ap-
pointed to investigate conditions in
the tourist camping ground and to
confer with members of the village
council in regard to certain improve
ments made it's report. The grass is
kept we'll cut in the park and the
grounds as whole present an at
tractive appearance. One new table
has been constructed during the last
week. A few other minor improve
ments are needed. The president of
the council has agreed to see that
these are secured within short time.
Judging from the expressions of ap-
probation that are inscribed on the
walls of the building in the park, it
would seem that the tourists appreci-
ate the Accommodations provided by the
village.
The members of the club have
agreed to assume responsibility for
the erection of a caretaker's house at
Oak Knoll cemetery. The building is
to be ii by 16 feet and will cost ap-
proximately 1924. About $74 of this
amount has been secured. Work on
the building is to be commenced i'm
mediately.

Melin Company to Move Into New
Quarters; Concrete Driveway is
Laid by Manke Warehouse.
The Alfred Melin company will
move the first of August into the
quarters vacated by the Princeton
Jewelry company, the Kaliher barber
shop and L. E. Bergman's office.
These places have all been made into
one. The building is being remodeled
by Otto Elsner. Former doors and
window spaces are being walled up
and at the same time the interior is
being made ready for redecoration.
The store is to have modern all cop
per front with marble base, and when
completed will be one of the most up
to-date clothing stores in this part Of
the country. S. E. Berggren, the
manager, intends to handle only the
best in the clothing line:
The F. w. Manke potato warehouse
has been improved by having a con-
crete driveway laid at the entrance
Of the building. This eliminates the
mud and soft sand that were quite
troublesome heretofore.
The S. S. Peterson residence is re-
splendent in new coat of gray green
Reynolds shingles. They are a COM
position single containing asphalt. and
other materials that render them near
ly fireproof and weather proof. They
not only last lifetime and add great
ly to the appearance of the roof, but
also reduce the fire insurance rate be-
cause. of their noninflammability.
