Main street passing between the pcni-
Tertiary and the Northern Pacific
tracks and meeting the present grade
east of the Northern Pacific crossing.
Morton County Plans
In Morton county the proposed new
route will run from a point 1879
miles west of Mandan, straight west
to the present grade few miles east
Of New Salem, saving four miles of
new construction. This is held up
for the present although the survey
has been asked for. From New Salem
the new road will leave the present
grade about five miles west and run
west to KurtZ instead of through Sims
and Almont. Fifteen and one-half
miles are now under construction be-
tween Glen Ullin and Hebron, follow
ing the present grade. There villa be
no changes in the route between Heb
ron and Belficld.
At Belfield the new route will leave
the present grade and follow the
track on the north through Medora
to Sentinel Butte, saving several
miles over the present route south Of
the track. From Sentinel Butte the
HIGHWAY is gravelcd to the Montana
line.
According to the State Highway
commission the work planned will
include grading only, except ten
miles of scoria surfacing east from
Medora. While it is hoped that all
the contracts will be finished this
year, at least IS per cent is assured.
Graveling Of the new sections arc
contemplated for 1927. Bids will be
asked for about April l and con-
struction will start as soon after
wards as weather will permit.

case were then argued.
The case was heard in Burleigh

dore Roosevelt, who nearly lost his
life in his successful hunt for the
rare Owls Poll in the Himalayas, is
back in New York "fit for a fight or
frolic."
He arrived last night aboard the
Berengeria with his brother Kermit
and their wives, who helped them
hunt tigers on part of the trip The
long boards that the brothers grew
asa protective against mountain
billiards were gone. At times the

Threats from snow and wind.
Theodore would not elaborate on
what he meant by being ready for a
fight but did say he would continue
to devote himself to public service.
His last political appearance was in
1924 when he was defeated for
governor Of New York by AL Smith.
Wall street reports a wager of
$1,000 to $4,000 that Theodore will be
the next governor of New York. The
street also reports bet Of $4,000
to $4,000 that Governor Smith will be
reelected despite his announcement
that he will not run again.
Theodore nearly lost his life when
he was caught in snow slide in
crossing the Himalayas. Steady
nerves and quick thinking enabled
him to end his swift descent down
the mountain on top of the slide
instead of under it.

Washington, March 3.--(R With
the proposed Nickel Plate railroad
merger rejected by the Interstate
commerce commission, speculation to-
day was concerned with the effect
the decision might have on other
proposed voluntary mergers and the
administration plan to encourage
railroad construction through lcgls-
lation.
First opinion was that the Van
Sweringen interests, which sponsor
cd the Nickel Plate project, will take
advantage of the loopho!c in the de-
cision permitting them to reopen the
case, and that meanwhile other con-
struction plans would await the com
missions verdict on that appeal.
The commissions ruling, which
found seven members opposed to the
merger, one for it and three not vot-
ing, approved generally of the trans
portation phase Of the proposal. but
objected to the financial phases Of
it. The merger would have linked up
the New York. Chicago and st. Louis
railroad company, or new Nickel
Plate, with the Chesapeake and Ohio,
Hooking Valley, Erie and Pere Mar
quette railroads. 1t would have join
ed more than 5000 miles Of track in
10 states and Canada, with a prop
erty value exceeding one billion dol
lars.

SMITH BEGAN
AT THE BOTTOM
AND WORKED UP
Has Been Precinct Committee
Man For 81 Years
Gave Him Influence

Chicago, April 15.--(P)--Colo olonel
Frank l.. Smith. who won the Republic
can nomination for senator over Sem
ator William B. Mckinley in Tues
days primary, has been a precinct
committee man for 81 years and be-
lieves that "the way to success in
politics is to begin in minor posi-
tion with a small zone of influence"
For 81 years have been precinct
committee man almost continuously
he said at his home in Dwight, ILL.,,
where he received congratulations on
his victory. Nothing much TO make
hurrah about in that, yet that job
brings you into relationship with all
your neighbors. You are their poll
tical father-confessor. You hear
their troubles. You have an influence
that gathers momentum
That momentum has carried Colonel
Smith along, past occasional defeats,
to his party's choice for one Of the
highest political offices Illinois can
offer. His majority over Senator
Mckinley stood at 123,6O5 today,
with returns counted from all but
437 precincts.
One Of those defeats, strangely
enough, was suffered six years ago
when he was primary candidate
against the same man he defeated
Tuesday. On that former occasion he
apparently was victor for IL days
until the women's votes, kept separ-
ately at that time, were counted.
They gave the nomination to Senator
Mckinley.

PHENOMENON
OF THE ARCTIC
WASSEEN HERE
Aurora BOrealis, or Northern
Lights, Shown Brilliantly
Last Night

A display Of aurora borealis, or
northern lights, said by many to
have been the most brilliant and
beautiful ever witnessed here, was
plainly visible throughout the hcav-
ems last evening. from $3.50 or until
late at night. People in all parts Of
the city were out of doors during
the evening, watching the unusual
phenomenon, word having been pass
ed from one home to another BY tel
ephone concerning it.
The brilliant streamers Of light
played hide and seek through the
skies, flashing up here and there
like Flames from a huge fire. The
lights extended into the heavens to
the east and west and ever to the
south, but we're most beautiful in the
northern skies.
A phenomenon. Of this kind usually
affects telegraphic communication, at
times silencing the wires completely,
but local telegraph operators report
that their wires from Bismarck to
Fargo were not affected last evening.
Reports. from the east, however, state
that some wire trouble was expcr-
fenced through the middle west.

st. Paul, April 1b.-Although his
own mistakes have brought him to a
cell in the Ramsey county Jail on a
charge of second degree forgery, DR..
Macmillan Schneider, German Red
Cross physician in the World war,
can thank wife Of unb0u nded faith
for providing most Of the funds need
ed to make good the worthless checks
he passed.
A small box containing her only
jewels four diamonds which she
valued at. $500 and check for 5000
has been delivered at the office
Of her husbands attorney, A. w. Uhl,
511 Pioneer building. In the box was
a letter written in German that told
how this sacrifice had impoverished
her at time when the arrival Of
another child is imminent.
The check represented the last Of
DR.. Schneller's cash and was sent to
her at Mott, N. d., just before he
was brought here from Milwaukee to
face the forgery charge. 1t was
drawn on the account of the Evan
gelical Deaconess hospital Of Milwau-
kee after DR.. Schneider had given the
hospital cashier the money to forward
to his wife. He had been promised
place on the hospital staff at the
time he was arrested.
But co-indicental with the arrival
Of Mrs. Schneller's offering, aid from
another source developed that assured
sufficient funds to cover all the bad
checks.
From Wahpeton, where DR.. Schnel-
Ter also practiced, friend came to
lend assistance. The doctors patients
there are anxious to have him return
and are ready to back up their
wishes with money. The doctors
principal difficulty was that he had
q low rating % 2 Businessman al
though his professional skill was un-
questioned, the friend said. DR..
Schneider not only charged ridicu-
lously small sums for his services
among the poor, bvt frequently for
got to collect anything and his &C.
counts total several thousand dollars,
the man affirmed.
