C. Townley is, or was until a very recent date, editorial director, indi- cates there may be some doubt on the subject. iommenting on an. ,editorial’ from the. Valley City Times-Record, in- timating: that‘should:Hall;‘Langer: and, 1 'Kositzky be impeached. their removal might be-resisted: by, their friends: by force.” ‘The Couvier-News says: “The Courier-News is by no means convinced of ‘the advisability at this time of seeking to impeach Langer and his fellow bank wreckers. They richly deserve it, it is true, for not all the yeggs in North Dakota have cost the state as much as these big business minions ‘have in the past few months, since they have betrayed the men who elected them, and the pledges on which they were elected. But impeachment requires a two- thirds vote in the senate,’ and: the Nenpartisans barely have such ‘a majority, while money in vast quan- tities would. be offered by the bank wreckers’ big business friends in the effort to change the one or two votes that would prevent impeachment.” Similar charges of attempts on the part of big business to influence votes against the league program were made during the last session. Rep. Cadell of Sioux county was responsi- ble for these charges. Arraigned be- foré' the house and commanded to re- veal’ the name of the,“big busines@” agent:‘who sought duce | Cadell pleaded personal obligation to to: reduce: him, and life-long friendship for the al- leged briber, and the matter was drop- ped. It is true that the change of one or two votes, as the senate now stands, would rob the league of the bare two-thirds which it had in the last assembly. The league’s opponents have con- tended, however, that, even. though the league had no hopes of finally im- peachings the. state officials who have turned insurgent, it would institute impeachment proceedings in the house, where it has a safe majority— yr did have during the last session— with*a view to declaring. the offices attacked vacant, and giving the gov- ernor an opportunity to fill: them with appointees, for a few months at least.

Although Mr, Shea appeared before the board only in behalf of the firemen it is generally considered that to in- e the wages of the firemen would sit a similar increase to all ovkers and any action taken by. the firemen to enforce their wage dcmand would involve. similar action by the other brotherhoods, SNOW STORM PAYS BURLEIGH COUNTY ANNUAL VISIT Baby Bliz Extends From Wilton to Oakes to Pollock and East to Devils Lake With a falling temperature and a tvelye-mile wind, soft, dry snow start- ed falling early this morning in Bis- imarck™ and a“ large part of the’ sur+| rounding. country and coritinued into the afternoon. “The weather bureau forecasts the end of the storm by late this afternoon and that it will be colder tonight.

DEEP WATERWAY ENVOY PLEDGED STATE SUPPORT C. P. Craig of Duluth Calls Upon Frazier and Enlists Co- operation 1,000 MILES NEARER SEA Assured by Governor Frazier, one of the eleven state executives who occupy the, posts of honorary y presidents of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tide- water association, that the deep water- way. campaign of this organization would receive his hearty support, ©. P. Craig of, Duluth, vice pr executive director of the a proceeded: on his. wuy westward last bight, intending to make his next stop at Billings,.Mont., where he will ad- the chamber of commerce. Mr Craig came to Bismarck especially for an interview with Governor Fazier, and prior to his departure last: night the deep waterway worker d¢clared that he Was well satistied with ‘results here, * ‘ Eleven states, said Mr. Craig, have associated themselves for the purpose of improving the St. Lawrence river to make it navigable for ocean ves- sels, Member states are Ohio, Indiana, Minois,- Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne- sota, Towa, North and South Dakota, Montafia and, Wyoming. From among the representatives of these states two vice presidents, are selected for each commonwealth, and they with their respective governors form the council of states, HOW NORTH DAKOTA PROFITS Mr. Craig proposes that North Da- kota be thoroughly organized and that committees be named to carry on the work within the state, particularly with a view to cultivating an intel- ligent public opinion in favor of the plan, whose consummation, declared the Duluth man, will bring North Da- kota 1,000 miles nearer to the sea and the great world markets. The prob- lem, said Mr. Craig, is to get. to the sea; to open the heart of the conth- ent,to the ocean; to add 2,000 miles to the coast line of the United States, and 1o reduce the distance between North Dakota and the sea by more than half. There is no government ‘opposition | ‘ to the deep waterway'‘plan, either in Washington or in Ottdwa, said’ the Zenith City man, and'ihé anticipated no concerted antagonism'on the part of the railways. According to the sched- ule of the American expeditionary forces, Mr, Craig said, the plan could ie placed in execution in one year, but a more efficient and economical plan would contemplate five years Of con- struction. Within the eleven states associated in this work said Mr. Craig, is pro- duced from 65 to 70 per cent of the nation’s entire output of raw ma- terials and foodstuffs. NO. CROWD FOR NONPARTISANS’ LABOR POWWOW Organizers and Speakers Only Ones in Attendance at Grand Rapids Meet Grand Rapids, Minn., October 23— There was no attendance at last night's meeting in tlle village hall of the working people’s nonpartisan political league whose organizers have been in northern Minnesota for sever. al weeks. Those present totaled five, two organizers, one speaker and two local reporters. , The organizers are Jack Routty of Becker, Minn., and Werner Empola ot Crosby.

Bismarck has defeated Dick- Ipson 12 to 0 and Mandan 59 to 0, and, unless Jamestown shows unusual class, the capital city hopes to win Saturday. Granda Forks has been picked as the northeastern district entry in the state interscholastic championship. The Red River valley appears to have given little consideration to Williston, and to have arrived at the conclusion that the finish fight will be between Grand Forks and Valley City, with possibly a look-in for Bismarck. Fol- lowers of interscholastic football in this section of the state are confident that the winner of the state cham- pionship will have to defeat Willis- ton. The Williams county aggrega- tion has. been making a wonderful re- cord, and there seems nothing in the northwestern district which can’ stand up before it. is 5 Bismarck is fortunate this year in having four stars of its last two high school teams in its line-up and also in procuring the Services of Spencer Boise as coach. Boise is a graduate of the North Dakota aggie, where he made a fine reputation in athletics generally, and especially in football. During the last two years he has kept in trim by roughing it with the Heinies on the west front, whither he went as assistant director of North Dakota’s famous second regiment band. The boys here have a world of confidence in him, and he has a lot of new stuff which he is putting over successfully. TWO WINS AND A ZERO Jamestown comes to Bismarck with two'wins and a zero. A comparison of the two teams may be gained from the following results of games played to date by the two teams: Jamestown, 0; Valley City, 14. Jamestown, 12; Carrington, 3. Jamestown, 26; Cooperstown, 0. Bismarck, 1 Dickinson, 0. Bismarck, 59; Mandan, 0. It is significant that when James- town met the only team representing a city in Bismarck’s class it suffered defeat, Dr. Stauffer of Fargo college will referee Saturday’s game, which will be called at the capitol athletic grounds at 3:30. The banner crowd of the season is expected to turn out to root the B, H..S. on to victory. 200 WITNESSES WILL TESTIFY IN PAN MATTER Many Who Are to Give Evidence Against Pandolfo Already in Chicago Chicago, Il, Ov —Many of the more than 200 witnesses summoned by the government were here today for the opening of the trial of Samuel C. ndolfo, president, and. other officers id promoters of the Pan Motor com- pany of St, Cloud, Minn., on charges of using the mails to defraud.

AND IN IOWA Commissioner of Immigration Finds Farmer Has Best Show in This State “Farm lands in Iowa and Illinois are listed at $200 and $300 per acre and upward,” says J. H. Worst, com- missioner of immigration of North | Dakota, in the first bulletin issued by) his department. “Equally productive lands in North} Dakota are listed at $20 to $100 per acre.” “Why this difference prices?” asks Dr. Worst. “It is a matter of misunderstanding or prejudice, or both.” Dr. Worst’s department hopes to} remove this misunderstanding from| the minds of thousands of prospective in land where land prices are soaring to un- heard of values, and it will be the pur- pose of--his department.to explain to the people of these states just what North Dakota has to offer in the way of productive lands, climatic, educa-| tional facilities, social conditions, in- dustrial possibilities, etc. The department of immigration will | have ten field deputies in active ser-! vice in the states of Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Illinois, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Oklahoma, by the first of November. They will be equipped with pamphlets and booklets 2xplana- tory of the state, and will be able to explain in detail exactly what North Dakota has to offer. Some of these field deputies will be equipped with moving pictures. illustrative of condi- tions in North Dakota. !_ “We are making every effort,” says Dr. Worst, “to keep from any misrep- resentation about conditions here. We want prospective settlers to come in, realizing that in North Dakota there is an element of risk, the same as is met with by the farmers of all states. ! We hope to show, however, that while North Dakota some time has partial crop failures, it is not necessary to} have an income failure. While some of the small grain crops may prove a failure, it is possible in almost every section of the state to be sure of a fodder crop, even in the driest years, and the farmer can always depend on a sure income from the dairy and beef cattle, and from other sources.

Lewis,: president of the miners’ organization, an- nounced that the proposal was indefinite, inadequate and failed to meet the situation. He added that he would so report to the. joint conference this afternoon. WILSON STILL HOPEFUL Washington, Oct. 23.—Presi- dent Wilson is making as satis- factory progress as is possible in the circumstances, his physi- cians said today. Out of the wreck of the na- tional industrial _ conference President Wilson today thought to build new machinery to bring about industrial peace in the country. Ina message to Chair- man Lane he asks that the pub- lic representatives in the confer- ence continue their work and make a report to him. j It is the hope of the president. and other administration’ offi- cials that the house delegates who were appointed by Mr. Wil- son and who represent both em- ployers and workers can formu- late a program which will be ac- ceptable to capital and labor. Both Groups Represented Both the public and capital groups were present at the con- ference meeting place today awaiting the word from Presi- dent Wilson. Spokesmen for each, said further deliberations, _ seemed hopeless since the repre- sentatives of organized labor had withdrawn from the confer- ence but the public’s delegates were expected to comply with Mr. Wilson’s request to continue their labor. President Wilson did not write a formal letter, to. the. confer- ence. His wishes-.were. made known to\ Mr. Lane thru Secre- tary’ Tumulty who went to the conference room after a talk with the president during, which Mr. Wilson was informed not only of the events in the confer- ence but also of the views of the conference. Secretary Lane told the dele- gates that withdrawal of the labor group had changed the na- ture of the conference. He said he had been commissioned by the president to explain to the employers group the changed nature of the conference and to say that the president desired the public group to remain in session to carry on the work in- asmuch as the burden of the re- sults of industrial disputes fell ultimately on the public. NORTH DAKOTA IS AWAITING RULING ON COMPENSATION North Dakota is anxiously awaiting the supreme court’s decision in the test suit brought by a Fargo employer of clerical labor to test the constitu- tionality of the workmen’s compensa- tion act passed by the last assembly. The act was attacked principally on the alleged ground that it grouped labor of all classes indiscriminately as hazardous, and that the premium rates for the protection of labor in the non-hazardous groups were exces- sive. The act covers labor of all kinds except steam railway workers and those engaged in agricultural or dom- estic service. HUBBIES LEARN TO.
