Brainerd, Minn., April 10-Follow-
ing a fight which lasted two days
and three nights to save the power
dam on the Crow Wing river here the
dam was declared safe. If the dam
had collapsed it would have caused
the destruction Of the power dam on
the Mississippi River at Little Falls.
which would have wrought havoc
throughout the Mississippi river val
ley.
The surging waters crushed the ice
down upon the dam and caused a
breach so feet wide and 300 feet long
in the cement. Dynamite was used
on the dixie west Of the dam to re-
lieye the pressure but it failed. Tons
of sand, timber and brush were put
into the breach to clog the flood wat
ers. Volunteers worked in relief
shifts and helped the engineers and
employees at the dam. Among the
volunteers were some of the promin-
ent business men of Brainerd.

dam of the Crow Wing River still
intact at II "a. m. today save the
flood waters have cut around the
dam creating serious situation. The
government reservoir dam at Gull
Lake is also intact at 10:3O and is
holding back the flood waters which
is relief to the situation at Caynd
dam. The government engineer says
that q serious mistake was made
when the workers at Cayna lar, al
lowed the flood waters to go around
the dam through a meadow because
it sent the flood waters o.ar .i1e
dikes.
Mr.. Coswell, manager Of the Caynd
Power Co. at the dam said he i in
doubt about the situation ana also
said that serious breaks might be
caused at any time at the dam and if
the water pouring through the :inan-
mel increases it will endanoer the
dam. The government dam at Tit-
tie Falls is impounding more water
than any other dam above.
The Sack. dam broke throu i is
morning at six, the flood wa IS =
rying the big dam 40 feet. The
bridge, two hundred feet oelew the
dam is endangered.

er Than Establishing Commission
House.

Fargo, N. D., April members
of the North Dakota wheat growers,
United States wheat growers, North
west wheat growers and the United
States Grain Growers, Inc, all signi-
fy their intention to unite in a mar
keting organization which will take
care Of the 1922 crop. Committees
were appointed to plan scheme Of
marketing. The general sentiment is
in favor Of pooling rather than es-
tablishment of commission house.
The Equity Cooperative exchange
were concluding their stockholders
meeting this morning so were not rep
resented at this session but according
to the officers they are eager to CO.
operate and even make sacrifices to
join.
Backers of the plan attacked the
national administration Of the u. S.
grain growers, declaring they are
more interested in the elevators than
in the individuals and have no mar
keting organization that could func-
ton at any time.
Hope was expressed that eastern
Montana, South Dakota and western
Minnesota would join in the new mar
keting organization.

BOARD STAFF TO
BE RE0RCANIZED

Reorganization of the staff, of the
board Of administration will take
place soon after April 80 when George
A. Totten, Sr., retires and the board
definitely passes to the control Of the
independents.
The change in the control will not
hinge in any way upon the outcome
Of the contest between j. I. Cahill and
R. B. Murphy for the place on the
board that Cahill has held and to
which Murphy has been appointed on
the ground that Cahill failed to quail
fy.
Among the board employees who are
due to go are E. E. Rimbach, pur-
chasing agent, Ole Lund, auditor, and
Alfred Dale, assistant auditor.
The new board may not engage a
new auditor as there has been senti-
ment among the Independents on the
board all along that Office was unne-
cessary.
The board has issued orders for the
closing Of the capitol restaurant on
April Is. Mrs. Edward Charlebois,
operator, is candidate for sheriff of
Burleigh county.
In the Cahill- ll-Murphy situation, Ca
hill has just refused to accept war
rant for $112.90, approved by the
board of auditors, as salary due him
for a part of March. He wants his
salary for the whole month. The SUBJ
ject will get into the courts within a
few days.

mer Congressman P. D. Norton who

resentative from the Third Congress
sional District, and who took very

legislation in aid of the success of
the United States and her Allies in

lows:
81 shall be a candidate at the June
Primaries for the Republican Nomin-
alton for the United States Senate.
During all my political career in this
State where I have grown to man
hood, I have been a Progressive Re-
publican, firmly believing and adher-
ing closely to the cardinal principles
of Republicanism. favor the pro-
gressive thought and leadership Of
the party that is tending to make
this government of ours strong and
enduring and increasingly serviceable
to all its people. ....+....
Ny record in Congress for years
is the best criterion Of the kind and
character of service that shall rem
der if elected to the U. S. Senate.
believe that the present farm bloc
in Congress is doing much needed
and commendable work for the agri-
cultural interests of our country.
should most highly appreciate the op-
portunity Of joining with these men,
many Of whom are among my close
personal friends, in the program of
agricultural legislation they have un-
dertaken to accomplish.
The purpose and work Of the Fed
eral Farm Bureau believe is deserv-
ing of general encouragement and
support. ..es.. s-...... ...
In the first address made in Con-
gress l announced that in consider
ing problem of national legislation,
the thought always nearest to my
heart would be the highest welfare
of the men and women who toll and
labor for their livelihood in the var
ious industries of our country. That
was my sentiment and feeling then
and is now.
Those who wore the uniform Of
our government in the late war and
who added to it's honor and fame at
home and abroad were given my 10y
al support in every matter affecting
their interests. while l was in Con-
gress. Should I be elected to the Sen

ism"

Dramatic Appearance OF Russian
Premier At Economic Confer
ence Win Not Be Unexpected.

London, England, Apr. THAT the
dramatic appearance at Genoa Of
Premier Lenine of Russia would not
be. entirely unexpected developed at
the economic conference which will
open next Monday. The Russian die
tator, it is suggested, might be trav-
cling inoognito to Italy to outwit his
enemies who are seeking his life and
startle the world by appearing at the
conference and to face Lloyd George
in the struggle for the recognition of
Russia which is the "crux" of the con-
ference. The presence of the Bolshe-
vik premier at Genoa will bring a
clash. Even if he had not been pres
ent the Russian emissaries would
have struggled with it.
The recognition Of Russia is. para
mount to the Genoa conference for
the following reasons: q 81. 4. 4. n, -
:. l. The rehabilitation Of Europe de-
pends more and more upon obtaining
raw materials and the establishing
of credit than with. the fixing of ex-
change and balancing the budget.
2. With America out Of the Con-
ference and England feeling the pinch
and calling in her loans, the supply
of credit is almost exhausted and Rus
sia is the only source Of obtaining
raw material.
3. Russia must reduce her army
and agree MOTTO attack her neighbors
and must guarantee the payment of
all old Russian debts with an allow
ance Of time for payment. They
must guarantee that the persous Of
other nations will be safe in travel
ling about Russia. In exchange of
the recognition the powers will ask
that Russia give them raw materials
