WATFORD CITY TREASURER
CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT

Watford City, N. q. Feb charges
of embezzlement against o. L. Cas-
sadly, treasurer of the village board
of Watford City, have been made by
the chairman of the board. A war;
rant of arrest was issued on the COM
plant but before it could be served
by the sheriff, into whose hands it
had been delivered, Mr.. Cassidy made
his appearance in justice court be-
fore Justice Of the Peace w. S. Shirk,

for Feb. and bonds for his appear

First, by holding the American
market for the American farmer SO
far as he is able to supply that mar
ket for reasonable compensation.
Second, by assisting in every pos
sible way in the distribution Of farm
products, to the end that the farmer
shall receive living price for the
things he produces. This latter re-
result can be attained only through
the methods of cooperative market
ing"
In brief the McCumber bill would
create Federal cooperative market
ing board in Washington to supervise
and work through cooperative mar
keting associations to be organized
throughout the several states. The
interfere with existing cooperative
would be allowed membership in, and
the increased facilities of, the national
organization.
The bill to authorize negotiations
with Canada looking toward the con-
struction of the Great Lakes-St. Lawr-
ence river canal weathered it's first
attack from eastern opposition when
an attempt to refer the bill to the
Committee on Rivers and Harbors,
where the chairman, Mr.. Dempsey of
New York, is an avowed opponent of
the project, resulted in the body of
the bill going to the Committee on In
terstate Commerce, as favored by its
friends in the House of Representa-
tives The bonding feature Of the
bill goes to the Committee on Ways
and Means. A majority on both of
the latter committees is said to be
favorable to the proposed canal.
North Dakota lis represented upon
the latter committee by Congressman
George M. Young, while the commit
tee chairman, Mr.. Fordney, Michi-
gan, and other western members,
Green, Iowa; Frear, Wisconsin; Tim
berlake, Colorado; Hadley, Washing
ton; Hawley, Oregon, and Copley, Hi
nois; hold the balance of power.
Minnesota has member on the
Interstate Commerce committee in
Walter H. Newton, while Hoch, Kan
sas; Sanders, Indiana; Mapes, Michi-
gan; Webster, Washington, and Den
ison and Graham, Illinois, should all
be for the bill.
In the fight to ensue New York City
men will lead the opposition with Re-
publicans from other states largely
in it's favor. A majority upon the
Democratic side are believed to be
ready to support the canal project.
Friends of the bill hope to have
favorable action taken before the
tentative date of adjournment, June 1.
