Grand Forks Bridge
Soundings Completed

Soundings for the bridge to be
erected over the Red river at Grand
Forks have been completed, the state
highway department said today.
The soundings indicate that Il will
be necessary to sink piers on the
west bank to = depth Of 90 feet to
obtain firm footings, n. c. Frahm,
chief engineer. said.
Preliminary studies are being
made to determine the design Of the
bridge. The problem is complicated
by the fact that the banks slide from
one to two feet . year. Frahm said,
and allowance must be made for this
condition. An arrangement has been
made with the Minnesota highway
department whereby the North Da-
kota highway department will design
the structure. The Minnosota de-
pertinent will share IN the cost.

ern troops engaged in further ag-
gression or fired without cause on
Japanese steamers.
He expressed surprise at the con-
duct Of the Cantonese troops, in whose
discipline the japanese had trusted
despite certain unlawful acts direct
ed against japanese steamers for
which the Japanese navy had never
retaliated.
Judging from the Nsnking affair,
however, he added, it seemed that
the southern commanders were un-
able to exercise full authority over
their men.

East Indian Religious Wars

Antagonist on the part of Moham-

cinity of Habiganj, India, has grown
so bitter that it has been necessary
for the deputy commissioner to take
steps to protect the Hindus. Failing
recently to prevent the Seraswati Puja
procession before the mosque, for
which the Hindus had obtained a po-
lice license, Mohammedans slaugh-
tered a COW in the heart Of the Hindu
neighborhood. They also held an In

paya Hindu tanks were polluted by
heads and bones Of slaughtered cows.
Pieces of bones were found tied
around the neck Of an idol of Sara
swat Of the Jogendrakisori institute.
In the night Mohammedans attacked

and beat the driver and passengers.

b. & O. CENTENARY

By the way of celebrating one
hundred years of public service and
progress, the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad is planning transporta-
ton show that will exceed in scope
and detail any spectacle of its kind
ever placed before the public. 1t is
called the Fair of the Iron Horse, =
Centenary Exhibition and Pageant OF
the historic railroad, to be held at
Halethorpe, Baltimore, Maryland,
from September "a to October 8.
The Baltimore and Ohio has the
distinction of being the first railroad
in the United States operated for the
public handling of passengers and
freight. In all the century of its
eventful career, it has changed neith-
er its corporate name, it's charter nor
it's fundamental organization.
