COMMITTEE

REAPPORTI0NMENT
Clancy Of Michigan Charges
Rural Representatives Are
Fighting Cities

Washington, Feb. 6.-(R)-A clash

m.ttee Friday with Representative
Clancy Of Michigan charging rural
representatives are trying to kill this
legislation"
Representative Knutson of Mime
sofa had just asserted the new APP
portionment should not go into effect
Tor two years to give the legislatures
more time In which to redistrict.
Under the present law 1t would be
based upon the 1890 census rs pro-
claimed by President Hoover.
Clancy said Knutson sought to pre-
vent the cities from getting their
proper representation.
Knutson urged favorable action on
his bill for postponement. He con-
tended the states are notified on
March 1 when most of the legisla-
lures would have adjourned, pre-
venting re-districting.
In that event, he asserted, the rep
resentatiyes would have to be elected
at large. Most of them would come
from the large metropolitan areas,
and not from the rural districts as
intended" he said.
Clancy said Detroit had suffered
from lack Of representation, accord
ing to its population, for years.
Knutson said Clancy was trying to
befog the issue, when the Michigan
member commended the Minnesota
senator's came from the rural Sec
tions. Knutson said they came from

Farm Board Head Says Ameri-
can Wheat Raiser Can't

MKELWE HAS LIKE BELIEF
Free Land and Free Labor il,
Russia Given as Reasons

washington, Feb. 6.-A9-Chair-
man Legge of the farm board said
'1loay ne viewed Russia's. official
grain statement as an indication that
the soviets were turned toward q
dominating position in the world
wheat market.
The American farmer cannot
compete with Russian wheat in the
world market" he said, land if he at
tempts to he will have to give up
riding around in automobiles"
Samuel r. McKelvie, grain men,
Der OF the board, joined in asserting
that American producers could not
compete with Russian wheat, because
Of Russia's 'free land and free la
bor."
McKelvie said there was mo
question but that Russia, with UNI
limited virgin land, could produce
great quantities of wheat cheaply for
many years at least with no land and
labor cost"
The two agreed the latest report
from Moscow showed Russia making
more progress in its agricultural pro-
gram, especially wheat, than in the
five-year industrial plan.
McKelvie cited soviet exports of
nearly as much wheat since IIne as
during any n year before the
World war as an indication it's grow
ing Importance in the world market.
Legge said also that the American
farmer could not compete in the
world market with Argentine and
Australian wheat. Each of these, he
said, had the advantage of low cost
water transportation. particularly
Australia.
Australian wheat, Legge said, was
grown around the rim of the CONT.
nent and could be moved long dis
tanceS at low cost.
McKelvie said the farm board was
keeping close watch over Russian
wheat exports, but there is nothing
we can do about it unless they try to
dump it in this country" Then, he
said, tariff laws could be utilized.

Ships Expected to Sail From
Great Lakes to Gulf Of
Mexico in 1893

Chicago, Feb. 6.-(P)-A vision that
Pere Marquette wrote home about in
1874, a vision Of ships Of commerce
sailing the Great Lakes, threading
through a canal to the Illinois, the
Mississippi and the Gulf Of Mexico
is nearing reality.
After centuries Of planning, some
working and much despairing, the
waterway conceived by the first white
explorers, has entered the final stages
of fulfillment In the hands of govern
ment, engineer and builder.
OF the five main dam and lock
projects. only one has not been
awarded to contractors. Work has
been started on two and within the
last week the contracts have been let
for the other two, calling for the ex-
penditure of more than 81, 260, 600.
Il have the highest hopes" said
Lieut.. Co. w. c. Weeks, United
States engineer, "that the entire prof.
ect will be open for navigation in the
early summer of 1888"
An ideal date, 1933-Chicago's Sec
ond worlds fair, Tooth anniversary
of its incorporation as a village. Still
more appropriate because it will be
just 260 years after the white man
first planned such a waterway.
Pere Marquette and Louis Joliet in
1878 went up the Illinois and Dies
PLANES rivers, carried their canoes
across the Chicago portage, lowered
them into old Mud lake and de-
scended to Lake Michigan.
The next year Pere Marquette
wrote back to France that here was
an ideal place for a "cut or canal"
connecting what he called the Lake
OF the Illinois" and the river he knew
as the "St. Louis" The advantage of
being able to build a boat in Lake
Erie and sail it to the Gulf Of Mexico
could not be overestimated, he wrote.
Now the portage Marquette walked
across has been cut, and Garlic
creek or the Chicago river is con-
nected by a deep canal with the Des
PLANES and Illinois rivers. The I'LL
nois waterway has been taken over
by the federal government, its locks,
dams and canals r being rebuilt.
The unreliable Illinois river is being
to mans will. The plans
are being made to handle 100000
tons of freight right from the start.

Witnesses

Washington, Feb. '6.-R)-Takine
of evidence against Bishop James
Cannon, Jr., was ended before a
church board of inquiry late Thurs
day night, as word came from with
in the hearing that among the testi-
mony was an assertion that informa-
ton on which part of the charges
against the prelate are based, came
from Mrs. Helen McCallurn, now
Bishop Cannon's second wife.
Friday the temperance leader of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, came to the beginning of his
own defense. Its nature could not be
learned.

New York Journal, was among the
witnesses who appeared before the
board of IL elders near the close Of

Bishop Cannon recently filed a
SIS, 600, 900 suit for damages against
William Randolph Hearst, publisher
of the Journal, based on the publ
cation of letters. alleged to have been
written by the bishop, and statements
concerning him, which he claimed
we're libelous.
Frank Morgan, a Richmond, Va,
detective, was the last witness called.
Morgan testified concerning docu-
ments previously presented.
On leaving the hearing the detec-
tive said that he had been given "a
warm time"
IT had questions fired at me from

With his going" Hyland said in
his talk in behalf of the governor" we
have lost not only a dear and loyal
friend, a generous and thoughtful
neighbor, an outstanding citizen and
a faithful public servant, but North
Dakota has lost another OF those pre-
ciouS personalities who served as a
connecting link between the territory
OF Dakota and the state, between the
old west and the new west, between
the old days and the new days.
Coming to this country in 1883, In
the very Dawn of white settlement.
he helped Danish the wilderness, to
subdue the untamed forces Of man
and beast, and to usher in civilization.
His name is entitled to be enrolled
among the founders of this common
wealth, and his ~life-story is an epic
which depicts in living terms the
birth. infancy, and growth to matur-
ity of a great state. The sealing Of
his lips reminds us again of the end
ing OF this romantic chapter in the
history of u state and closes for
an inexhaustible source of
knowledge of the early life of west
'crn Dakota, of the habits, customs
and heroism of our pioneers, and of
the traditions of territorial develop
ment. little of which has yet been
recorded.
so it eel ordained that friends
must part with friends, and the
commonwealth must. in time, part
