Increase the price OF wheat from 1u

ton made today by Edwin M. Crime
of Fargo, supervisor of bridges and

railway, in commenting upon the
value of the project to North Da-
kota. II. .- ~ .s.~
By shortening the route some 500
miles from this section of the coun-
try to Liverpool, England, the cen-
trail market for the wor,d and by
decreased freight rates on the water
route, the cost of transportation
will be greatly reduced and Mr..
Crime believes that the opening of
this water channel to the sea will
add real value to every bushel of
grain raised east of the Rocky
Mountains.
"This enterprise promises to yield
a larger public benefit in proportion
to it's cost than any engineering
work of the first magnitude ever
undertaken" he declared.
There is a great demand for more
efficient marketing OF grain raised
i'll this state, according to Cap E.
Miller of the agricultural economist

summing up his opinion of the pro-
ject. "This new water route woulo

Nature now so sweet is humming;
There is freshness everywhere;
And we know that spring Is coming
For the singing birds are here.
Nature graciocs now is ~finging

And the birds are joyous singing,
Just from morn till evenfali.
We will soon see roses blooming,

We will soon in fie1ds be roaming,
Motor-riding far and near.
And because that spring Is coming,
Dormant thoughts are budding out;
Therefore, poets must be hcmming
Putting winter on the route.

Impressive Memorial Services Consecrate Mem-
cries of Heroes of All Wars of To-
day and of Yesteryear.
'fNATION GREAT THROUGH SACRIFICE
Rev. e. Burns Martin Delivers ELOQUENT EuIogy of
Heroes Who Gave "Their Last Full
Measure of Devotion"

Trembling Of hands and slow of
step, members of the Grand Army Of
the Republic, with more active hands
but. weary of feet, the SpanishAmer-
lean War veterans, and with the
strength and spirit and enthusiasm
of a modern Hercules, the World war
veterans-all came out one hundred
per cent strong to honor and be hon
ored in one of the most impressive
Memorial Day ceremonials in the his
tory of the city. The grey-haired
soldiers are fewer in number today,
and their shoulders are being heaped
with the burden of years, but they
we're there And they had with them
the same determination and the same
loyalty that turned the tide in '65.
Following them in the ranks were
thepvetetans of the war with Spain,
who are gradually relinquishing the
task which God gave them in honor
of the new veteran-and he has glor-
iously taken up the fight.
Then there were those WHO most
recently have smelled the lust of
powder and felt the sting of the enc
my. In the line Of march there were
Kilties, Canucks, Chasseurs, Frogs"
Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, officers and
bucks-all united in the one token of
appreciation of the heroic work of
their elders, all assembled in Kenosha
to observe this great holy day.
Then the Coming Heroes.
Not the least in showering their
respect and devotion for the saviors
of the nation were the Boy Scouts.
The lads who will make up the rank
and file among the coming defenders
turned out as they have never done
before. Identified with every worthy
cause the scouts again showed their
mettle and their public-spiritedness in
honoring those absent heroes as we'll
as those who came back. Their oath,
con my honor | will do my best to
God and my country" resounded with
the faith and sincerity that character
lied the solemn oath of the Great
ommoner-Lincoln.
Floral tributes were paid by many of
the cemeteries which form the last
resting places of many heroes. Mem
bers of the Women's Relief corps, La
dies of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, Daughters of the Grand Army of
the Republic, Sons of Veterans, all
took part in the decoration ceremonies.
At Library park the assemblage halted
moment to honor the spirit of the
soldiers and sailors monument. Here

ried out,

Locked Up When
He Comes to Visit

The police have one character who
knows enough to turn his toes into the
lookup by himself when he is four
sails to the wind. When he finds ne
has more ballast than he can carry, he
just appears at the desk in the police
office and says simply, Lock me up"
Sometimes he says nothing. His ap-
pearance at the door is enough. AS
soon as Turnkey William Long sees
the man, he pulls out the long key for
downstairs. He goes and the visitor
follows. His name is Benny Leaonard.
The sheriff's Office has one also. But
this man did not expect to be locked
up. He walked into the sheriff's Office
boldly Tuesday afternoon, went to the
door that leads to the jail, and raped
on it loudly.
you've got more sense than I'd give
you credit for in your condition. said
the sheriff, "you certainly need to be
locked up"
1t developed that the man had come
to call on friend of his who was a
prisoner, and didn't want to lose the
keys of liberty himself. But the
sheriff kept him, and when he had
sobered sufficiently to give his name,
the undersheriff booked him. He gave
his name as John Gahbraski.
"And what address, sheriff ?"
"Why, 10 North Congress street, he
said. Did you ever hear that before?''
