FEW BILLS
CAN BEPASSED
BY SENATE

Washington, Feb. 2s.-Rcpublicaa
house leaders were determined, il
possible, to push the farm credit
legislation to a vote today. The mea-
sure was side-tracked yesterday for
a conference report on the national
bank tax bill which led to a five
hour fight and further heightened
the legislative jam in the house.
On converting today, however, The
house had further to vote on the
bill directing adjustment by the
Secretary of the Interior of the Red
River oil and gas claims before TAX
ing up the credits measure.
Consideration of the former was
completed last night at the close of
the session which although time de-
voted to the bank tax bill removed
practically all possibility of consid-
crlg all legislation which the rules
committee had voted to give privi-
legged status on the floor.
1t rested largely with the leaders
as to what legislation now would be
selected for action by the house
after the farm credits bill but the
expectation was that number of
these would fail in the senate.

G. n. EXTENSION
TALK REVIVES
Proposition was to Continue
East from Watford City

Watford City, N. D., Feb. 2S.-
Interest in proposed extension of
the Great Northern railroad from
Watford City eastward, on which
work was begun about 10 years
ago, has been revived by the be-
ginning Of the work of hauling
here for shipment elsewhere CT old
material left on the abandoned
grade along the Little Missouri
river about 20 miles southeast of
here. Ole Erickson, who was con-
structing the grade for A. Guth-
RE & Co. of ST. Paul, when the
work was discontinued, is in
charge Of the removal work, which
is being done with teams and
slcighs while the sleighing is
good.
The material consists of large
quantity of steel rails, dump cars,
three dinky engines a large steam
shovel, and so on. There will be
about 40 carloads of t, it is stat
ed.
Mr.. Erickson states that the
shipping of the material now does
not indicate that the construction
Of the line to New Rockford upon
the present right-of- would be
indefinitely postponed. The mater
ial, he states, is obsolete, and if
the railroad construction work
were to be resumed, new material
would have to- be shipped in, in any
event.
According to Mr.. Erickson, the
grade, except where it has been
cut by an occasional watercourse
is in as good condition as when it
was constructed several years ago
The greater part of the grade
down the Little Missouri river to
the Missouri river, distance of
about 30 miles, is complete. Most
of the work on large tunnel has
been done, and practically all that
remains to complete the line from
Watford City to the Missouri riv-
or is the completion Of this tunnel
the construction of few small
bridges and several changes on the
Little Missouri river.

cd at length by States Attorney AL
len concerning the circumstances
leading up to the death of Amelia
Schneider, so far as he knew of them,
the autopsy and conversations with
Schneider. His testimony took up
most of the morning session.
DR.. Lipp said he had been called to
the Schneider home in May to see the
baby, and that he had given Mrs.
Schneider medicine on April 2S, more
than q month before her death.
Mrs. Schneider, he sad, had suf-
fered spells from cramps in the alb
domcn and stomach, that he had Civ
en- her medicine, gave instructions
to Schneider as to giving hermedi-
cine when he was absent, told what
diet she should have, and asked
Schneider to call her when she was
having one of her spells so that he
could better diagnose the case.
"Did you from your examination
think Amelia Schneider was very
sick" he was asked.

DR.. Lipp then said the illness was
not regarded as serious or one like

Schneider THAT his wife was serious

Found Woman Dead.
DR.. Lpp told of his call there on
the morning of June 49, 1922, the
call coming from Mr.. Bobt, who told
him over the phone he ,desircd him
to come and see whether Mrs.
Schneider was dead or merely I'M
conscious.
DR. .Lipp said he found her in bed,
with her arms folded across her
chest. He examined her to see if she
was dead, using a stethescope, ex-
amined her pulse, examined her to
sec fanny heat were in the body OK
whether it was cold. Rigor had al
ready set in, he said, and he judged
she had been dad about two hours.
1t is possible, he said, to ten APP
proximately how long a person has
been dead by the extent of the rigor
and heat or absence of heat in the
body.
Asked if he had talked to Schneid-
err he said he had asked Schneider
why he had not been called before.

had more and better farmers.
Contrasts Values
J. p. Jackson, local land man, con-
trasted the value of the wheat and
corn crop in the state showing con-
clusively why more corn should be
raised. Each year, he indicated by
statistics the corn crop was better
per acre in money return than
wheat. He urged a greater drive for
settlers and the diversification OF
agriculture.
a Dirt Farmer
Jack Davies of Wing made real
hit by telling how he came to Bur-
leigh county in 1908 and through
fair and foul weather stood by his
guns until he had brought success
from initial failure. He opposed Wig
o.ously the crop payment plan. He
said that if the settlers could be
gotten on the land allowed to pay
only percent interest and keep up
the taxes, it would be great induce
ment for him to work out his saliva
ton.
He declared the county age It
should work directly with the farm
efs. Fine speeches and banquets, he
, said were alright in their way but
they did not bring about better con-
ditions. The farmer he said must
have the hearty cooperation but that
no subsidy or public pap could take
the place Of hard work and earnest
! endeavor. He declared that he was
going to show the farmers in his
region that a quarter section could
support 100 head of stock. He was
going into the growing of feed grain
and grasses and show what could
be done in good old Burlcigh with
hogs, dairy cows, poultry, etc.
Jack" Davies has made good in
the county and his experience, i.
was urged, was typical Of others
and that there are enough instan-
ccs of good returns from Burleigh
land to attract settlers if only the
proper organization and steam IS
gotten behind better farming and
more settlers movement.

men to aid the landmcn by cternally

Pioneer in Movement
In introducing DR.. Worst, state
immigration commissioner, Judge
Christianson paid him a fine tribute
stating that eighteen years ago he
heard DR.. Worst advance many of the
theories of land settlement and ag-
riculturc that had been advanced by
the other speakers of the evening.
DR.. Worst said that the securing
of settlers was Il slow process and
that it usually was two years before
the field work began to show re.
suits. He urged q closer social as
we'll as business union between the
Nountry and cities. He said that
when farmers moved into a com

the social life Of the city too and
be made to feel at home for afte,
all it was home that they were
creating.
Room For More
He declared that there were from
twelve to fifteen million acres MOI
under cultivation and that the stat,
easily could support two million
population without much additiona
tax load. He declared that in the in
crease of population was the onl,
hope to Tighten the tax load in thi:
state which was carrying an over
