{Vftiott in- FnlL &>
,n„ $&>•?a
The last day of the drain Growers'
•convention was devoted to the subject
of drainage. Of the Red River valley,
and the delegates in attendance from
other*parts of the state did not re
main for this part of the program.
There was abundance of interest,
however, on the part of those who live
lii the valley. The fact, too, that, much
•of this work had been covered already
by the recent Grand Forks convention
wade It of less interest. There were
some splendid papers read, and 9/ val
uable lot of information given that
made the meeting a decidedly Valuable
•one.'
L. C. Johnson of Fargo* opened the
session with a paper on "The Effects
of Drainage Upon the Mechanical
Condition of the Soil."
At the conclusion of the paper
President 'Worst said in answer to a
question as to whether wheat could
lie raised continuously for iOO years
on properly drained soil: "Here rota
tion seems to be necessary.
"However, I attended a meeting at
Hartfprd.Conn., where a worker from

THE PACKERS' TRIAL
ADJOURNED UNTIL 22ND
Chicago, Jan. 20.—Attorneys for
the packers arraigned the govern
ment sharply today for the policy
they declared it had pursued,
through Commissioner of Corpor
ations Garfield in the investiga
tions of the charges against the
packers. Attorney John S. Mil
ler declared that Commissioner
Garfield h^d said In the presence
of witnesses that if he was al
lowed to obtain evidence from
the books of the packers he would
consider the evidence so gained
to be the same as if it had been
developed before him in a formal
hearing. Mr. Miller declared that
he would prove this by Commis
sioner Garfield if the commis
sioner would take the stand.

Political Muddle in Penn. Will
Be Untangled Only at
Polls.
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 20.—The po
litical situation in Philadelphia is in
a muddled state. Even the most as
tute observers cannot venture a pre
diction as to the outcome with any de
gree of confidence. The situation, in
fact, amounts to a crisis. The reform
forces bearing the banner of the city
party which led them to victory last
fall are seriously threatened by the
attitude of some of the leaders who
were, active in the recent reform cam
paign. These leaders, .who are be
lievers of reform within the party, and
to whom the idea of fusion with dem
ocrats is distasteful, are planning, it is
believed by many, to build up a re
organized organization stronger than
that led by the quondam leader, Is
rael W. Durham. The intention of
these administration reorganizes, it
is claimed, is to secure a delegation
from this city-to the republican state
convention at- Harrisburg in June,
pledged to the nomination of Mayor
Weaver.
Capture of the republican organiza
tion by forces identified with the city
administration is the keynote of the
political plan, and the results of last
week's primary'election show that a
strong beginning has been made. Of
the 114 delegates elected to the state
convention more than one hundred, it
is dclared, are controlled by the new
organization leaders and- will support
any candidate for governor and other
state officers as selected by these lead
ers. In the list are many men of
prominence, some of whom have never
before attended a state convention.

Algeciras Jan. 20.—Behind the
screen of amiability that envelopes

feeling of distrust is observable due,
seemingly, to the unwillingness of
both France and Germany to define
their positions beyond reaffirming
now, somewhat wearisomely, their ad

of Sultan and Integrity of his terri
tories. The French delegates in all
their conversational reconniassances

unable to ascertain the joint intention
of France and England. The ambas

the British coast floundering helplessly on huge waves,
and
sent a boat to take off the Kipling's crew. It stood alongside
the schooner, some times dropping far below them
with the
roll of the waves. Every man on the Kipling safely
jumped
into the bobbing boat which started to row away when
the
schooner swung around with the bowsprit directly over
the
life boat. Simultaneously a sea rose beneath the boat carry
ing it up, crushing it against the bowsprit which struck it
amidships. In the midst of snapping oars and flying splint
ers the seamen from the Kipling leaped upon the bowsprit
throwing their arms about the available supports and with
their feet trying to kick the life boat free from its
perilous
position. This they did. but the life boat swept clear
of the
schooner leaving them on the bowsprit. In the bottom
of
the bow one man lay unconscious, having been struck on
the
head, and the boat itself was so badly damaged that it
was
in danger of sinking. It was rowed back to the
