THE NATIONS PICNIC GRoUNI


Yellowst0ae National Park---Secre.
tary Nobsc's Report.
In the report OF the secretary of the
interior to congress on the Yellowstone
National pank, he says that there being
NO appropriation for the fiscal year end
ing June Sc 1887, to pay a superintend;
ent, the secretary of the interior request
ed the secretary of war to detail an Officer
with detachment of troops for the gov
ernment of s;he reservation. This was
done, and Gsptaln Harris and troop of
cavalry from the First regiment was sent
there in 1857, since which time the Park
has been under military police regula-
tion. Captain Harris management is
extolled bySeeretary Noble, and q recon-
mendation for the continuance of this
officers authority there is made. Six
leases of hotel grounds we're madedzring
this year to the Yellowstone Park asso-
citation and permit to put naptha

permit also was given to Ole Anderson
to place small articles in the hot waters
to be incrusted with the deposits and
sold to visitors, and the right to sell
photographs was granted to the post.
master at the Mammoth Hot Spring.
The hotel accommodations, the report
says, are still inadequate, but promise to
be sufficient by another year. The in
crease of the deer, antelope and elk with
in the last few years seems to be highly
gratifying, and the reports show that a
herd of buffalo continue to find safe ref
uge there. The carnivora have multi
Piled SO rapidly that Captain Boutelle
thinks some means should be taken to
repress their further increase. He re-
marks upon the increasing tanleness of
the animals of the park, in consequence
of their annoyance and slaughter being
prohibited. Another suggestion of i'm
portance is that of stocking the waters Of
the Park with fish, of which they now
seem to be remarkably barren.
Whether congress puts the park under
civil or military superintendent, the ap-
preparation necessary for employees and
equipments is put at S4S, 500 for the COM
ing year, and that amount is asked for.
A residence for the superintendent
should also be built. The secretary
warns congress against the pirate spec
ulators and against the scheme proposed
of cutting off portion of the northeast
ern corner OF the Park. If the preserva-
ton of the game of the Park is worthy of
consideration, this should be strongly
opposed, as some of the principal winter
ranges Of elk and buffalo are in the part
proposed to be cut off.

Many people who linger around the
parlors Of the Sheridan during morning
and evening hours, have been charmed
with the skill and grace with which Mrs.
McC Cormack of Grand Forks, performs
on the piano. She reads notes rapidly,
but never uses them after once commit

tions are of the latest and most popular

be, in addition to the piano, an excellent
performer on the harp.
There are many objections to a general
law requiring each county to elect five
commissioners. But there is no doubt
but that many counties, and particularly
the more largely populated ones, now
desire to regulate the number, and bill
to provide for this has been introduced
by Representative Moore. II provides
that an election may be called by petit
tion Of one third of the legal voters of
the county, voting at the preceding gen
eral election, which election is to be held
60 days prior to q general election. It
the increase is desired at the ensuing
election the commissioners shall be
voted for and the additional districts set
apart. The commissioner of tho fourth
district IS to be. elected for two years and
of the fifth for three years, and their
successors for three years. The same
method of determining the desire OF the
voters shall prevail in case decrease Of
from five to three commissioners is de-
sired. The fate Of the bill is problemat-
ical,
Two years ago law was passed pro-
hibiting the killing or trapping of beaver
or any member of the beaver family.
This was done on petition OF stockmen
of the west Missouri country, because
the beaver built dams which tended to
retain water in the streams, facilitating
the watering Of stock. The law is de-
sired repealed by Representative Wick
ham because it is ignored by the part

marck and other western towns in the
state. It is we'll known that number
OF beaver have been killed during the
past two seasons near jamestown, on the
Pipestem and Jim rivers, despite the $l0(
fine and imprisonment penalty. The bill
repeating the act passed the house. The
reason given is poor one. The beaver
should be protected and the law en-
forced.

Independent Elevator Project.
Farmers in Steele county are uniting
to organize an independent elevator COM
pany and expect by next season to have
large elevator, under their own manage
ment, ready TO receive grain. The busi-
ness men of Hope have, with scarcely an
exception, volunteered to assist the
farmers in this enterprise. There are
quite number of such elevators in sue
cessful operation in North Dakota. One
is at Mayville, whicA handled half the.
grain marketed at that point this year.
As a rule, however. farmers have no
choice but to turn over their wheat to
the corporati house or take the other
alternative of shipping their own grain.
Before the rush this was done in quite
number of instances and farmers in Steele
county have saved, says the Hope Pio-
neer, from S35 to $50 on car. But this
privilege was soon shut off by the failure
to get cars. The independent elevator
plan is to hire competent man to run
the elevator. The wheat going through
it could be han lled at a very small
margin-say one cent per bushel, 1nclud-
ing loading in cars. Or, for little more
outlay, small bins could be built, holding
two or three carloads, which could be
rented by parties who wished 60 hold
their grain for short, time in order to
secure better market

The house still continues to give the
senate pointers on legislative proceed
ings. Today, bill which had passed
the senate, came down to the house
minus the enacting clause. Of course it
is not worth the paper it was written on
until that clause is inserted. Stevens,
who has an eye for points second to no
man IN the state, moved that the bill be
sent back to the senate, with little
friendly advice and the house voted SO
to do The chaplain Of the senate is all

The announcement that E. S. Neal of
Bismarck, and Johnny Percival of Dew
lis Lake, are soon to be appointed to

ford, to expect his speedy appointment

The Judge has more good endorsements
than anybody, and is practically conceded
to be the coming man. Mr.. Sebring is
one of the ablest and most active young
republicans of the state, is now presi-
dent of the State League of the Repub
lican club, and his past and present polit-
ical services entitle him to the recogni-
tion which his friends ask for him.
President Fancher IS here again. Ru-
NOR has it that he has been offered the
secretary ship of the railroad commission
The position is good one, but if rumor
is right, Mr.. Fancher has already been
several weeks trying to decide whether
he will accept or refuse the profer.
Following the example of many older
states, Mr.. Williams has introduced
bill to provide for board of corrections
and charities, which shall consist of four
members, two from each political party,
| to serve without compensation, their
travelling expenses only to be paid. They
are to have extensive powers. A secre-
| tary is provided the expenses of the
board, including secretary salary, not to
exceed 81 500. They may visit other state
| institutions for information, at the di-
rection of the governor. Their terms of
Office shall be four years, excepting that
OF two, whose terms shall be for two
years. No member shall in any way be
directly or Indirectly interested in any
contract for building, repairing or fur
nishing any Of the institutions under his
charge.

Mr. Moure. There may be more to the
business, a chapter second.
IN THE HOUSE.

Under suspension of the rules, Stevens
state bank bill and the bill defining the
powers and duties of the state superin-
tendent of public institutions, we're
passed.
The committee on state affairs report
ed back the tree planting bill introduced
by Mr.. LELAND, with substitute which
provides for a bounty Of 50 per acre on
all trees planted after ten years, provided
that this bounty shall not apply to lands
held under the tree culture act, and re-
commended that it do pass.
Mr.. Coles resolution to fix minimum
limit to the number of hours which the
house shall remain in session was tabled,
on motion OF Thompson of Cass.
These bills were introduced:
By Mr.. Hoyt, relating to assessment,
revenue and taxation. By Mr.. Walsh,
providing for loaning 100 muskets to the
Crank Forks university. By Mr.. Viii
liams, repeating the law Of 1887, making
allowances to justices of the supreme
court for travelling expenses. Also, pro-
sviding that railroad companies shall be
held responsible for damages done by
fires set by engines, whether originating
on or off the line of railroad.
The house bill repeating the law crea-
ting the Office of the commissioner Of i'm
migration, imposing his duties upon the
commissioner of agriculture and labor
and providing for system of accounts
for the state auditor and state treasurer
was passed.
George Walsh wants the state to loan
the Grand Forks university one hundred
stands of arms and he wants them at
once. He therefore inserts this emergen-
cv clause in tbesbill:
An emergency existing, in that there
has not heretofore been provided any
gymnasium in which students may prop
erly develop the parts used in the manly
art, and further emergency is liable to
occur at any day caused by inclemepcy
in the weather, to wit: bowling blizzard
which will effectually contine severy
student indoors and that they may have
proper accoutrements with which to take
indoor exercise and that they may more
perfectly learn how to handle their guns
and keep the same in condition for iua-
mediate use, therefore this act shall take
effect Immediately and be in force from
and after its passage and approval.
