MANDAN LOSS
FROM WATERS
NOT SERIOUS
Recession of Heart River Wa
ters Shows Comparatively
Little Damage, Claim

Waters OF the Heart river, which
threatened to. do serious damage in
Mandan Saturday, began to recede
late Saturday afternoon. The crest
Of the rush of water caused by the
breaking Of the mill dam at Dickin-
son and freezing temperatures which
halted flows from tributary streams,
were responsible for the recession.
The damage done is not consid-
cred great. Some easements of bus
mess buildings were flooded and t.le
Syndicate section was under water,
but the latter were prepared for it
and business men removed valuable
property from easements, it was
said in Mandan today.
The water spread over the main
line tracks of the Northern Pacific
to the main business district. Water
entered the Lewis and Clark hotel
and a few other easements, seeping
around TIE block on Third avenue
and a few other easements.
Boats were used in the "dogtown"
section in removing belongings from
homes.

Mr.. Ridgeway Speaks.
"a Tex:s -sound-up" for "The
March of Allegiance" given by twenty
women dressed in white was the fea-
ture of the program. Each wore n
sash on which was the words ALE
glance the Constitution" and car
ried card which represented one of
the districts of Texas. They marched
through the church and took their
stand at the altar where each brand
ed" representatives from her district
by naming the counties Of which the
district is composed.
The pageant was staged as a pre-
liminary step in the fight that is ex-
pected to develop in the 1924 political
campaign. No effort will be spared
in the fight against light wine and
beer by the W. c. L. L. Total alb
stinence, prohibition and respect for
all laws are its slogans.
Another art of the evening program
was devoted to TIE Union Signal, the
official organ of the national organ
ization. An effort is being made to
secure more subscriptions for this pa
per.
Senator I. H. Ridgeway closed the
meeti ,gswith an address on the pro-
hibition question. In the course of
his remarks he stated that the World
war could not have been won without
stopping the liquor traffic and gave
much of the credit for prohibition to
the w. c. Y. u.
In answer TO these people who say
that the law is not being enforced, he
stated that one-fouth of the men who
are being sent to the state peniten-
tiary are going there for violation of
the Dean act. Liquor was formerly
shipped into the state in carload lots
and train lots but now il only comes
in suit case lots, he said.
Dean Law Strengthened.
Mr.. Ridgeway stated that an ef-
- was made to weaken the Dean
law by reducing the penalty for vio-
latior during tn last session of the
Legislature, but that the effort failed.
Instead, it was strengthened by max
ing it n felony to drive an automobile
while Intoxicated. by giving the state
the right to close hotels and rooming
houses where intoxicants are sold and
by making possession prima facie proof
Of guilt.
Senator Ridgeway expressed the be-
lief that the fight against prohibition
would cease with the passing Of those
people who were addicts at the time
OF the passage of the Volstead act.
A new generation will then have grown
up without ever having tasted intoxi-
cants, he said.
