DON'T WAIT TOO LONG.

Vacant Farms are Being Rapidly
Rented for the Coming Season.
Every Acre will be Used. -.s
Since the beginning OF this week large
number of farmers in this county have
taken advantage OF the splendid weather
to begin preparing their land for the
spring crop. High rolling land, especially
on new breaking. is now in good condi-
tion for dragging and pulverizing, al
though it is still too wet for good work
to be done in the low lands. From all
appearances, every acre of available land
in Stutsman, and the surrounding coun-
ties, will be put under cultivation this
year, as the best Judges consider it al
most certain that hard wheat will main
tain its present price for at least another
year. >El- =-.rsA .a-,. f-.
.a Owners OF improved lands report a
much stronger inquiry for farms to rent
during the last two weeks. A large num-
ber Of letters are being received from
parties in the eastern states and Canada,
inquiring as to the rates and terms upon
which partially improved farms can be

M The usual rent asked this year for
farms with one hundred or more acres of
arabic, and fair buildings, appears to be
half the produce of the wheat, the owner
of the land furnishing all the seed, and
the renter leaving the land in the same
state of cultivation in which he found it.
In some instances last year. the owners
of farms, besides furnishing the seed,
agreed to pay half the thrashing ma

No better way can be found than for the
farmer in the east, who is thinking of
coming to Dakota. to take farm on

is furnished by the landlord the renter
risks nothing but his work. and it gives

At the urgent solicitation of a large
number of republicans of Jamestown
Judge Rose has appointed Mr.. T. F.
Branch clerk OF the district court, the
Office heretofore held by Chas. T Hills
This was done only after long consider
alton, for Mr.. Hills has made a most etiic
lent and accommodating official and
leaves the Office after serving six years
satisfactorily to all with whom he has
done business, and to officials OF the
court as WELL There was no other rea-
son for the change except tho request OF
a large number of representative repub-
Iicans Joined with the recommendations
of large number of leading democrats,
who recognize that there was little pro-
priety in making political selection for
the office at this time.
Judge Rose is awarm friend OF both
retiring and incoming clerks, having per-
sonally assisted Mr.. Hills in getting the
appointment six years ago. Mr.. Branch
is a property owner; is amply qualified
to make reliable and competent official
and the public can feel assured that
Judge Rose has made good selection
and been unusually fair therein.

A Letter From Hon. w. M. Spring.
t1 er Explaining!this Provision
of the Bill.
A Voter Cannot Give two Votes to
- one Man-It IS not Cumula-
'"" ~" tive Voting.
Those who Want to Rent this
w.. Year Must Hurry up and
81 Speak Quick. .,
Minority Representation.


AS there seemed to be some ambiguity
in the wording Of this section Of the ON
nibus bill, Hon. VIM. NJ. Springer was
asked last week to explain the intention
of the trainers of the bill. It will be seen
by his reply, that it was not intended
that the voter should be able to give
both his votes for one delegate, he can
vote FOR either one or two as he pleases,
but he cannot give more than one vote
to each OF two delegates. The following
is Mr. Springer's reply: 80 l.gi
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, u. S.,
Washington, d. G., March 3 1889. :
ALFRED E. WooD, ESQ, .
Ny DEAR SIR Your letter of 9th ult.
is received. You enquire what Is the
meaning Of the following clause in tho
admission bill, "But no elector shall vote
for more than two persons"
It means just what is, stated. 10 voter
can put on his ticket more than two
names for delegates, but he may put one
name only on his ticket. T., And the three
persons who may have the greatest num-
ber Of votes would be elected. f5 practic-
ally the result would be that the party
in the majority-or the party which is
conceded to be in the majority would
nominate two candidates for delegates,
while the party which is conceded to be
in the minority would nominate but one
candidate. The tickets Of the majority
party wonld then read: For delegates to
the Constitutional Convention. John Doe
Richard Roe. The tickets Of the minority
party would be printed thus: For dele
gate to the constitutional convention,
John Smith. .. ,r,. .t,.,a., a.. ;-... w..
But il the two political parties We're
nearly evenly divided and each claimed
or hoped to obtain the majority, each
would nominate two candidates for dele
gates. There would then be four candi-
dates, and the three who received the
greatest number Of votes wonld be elect
/ ed. tiIhis system is noS;Wii;,JaisL known
as cumulative: voting, such as we have in
Illinois It simply limits the choice of
each voter to two persons, while three
persons are to be elected in the district.
The political party in the minority, even
if that minority be very small. will be
able to elect one delegate, in each district
if good man is nominated, and if all
efforts of the minority are directed in his
favor. .s@f p" CO." + '-.r .@-. i'l' Z F. ..rA
My object in incorporating this pro-
vision in the bill was to secure a repre-
sentation in the convention for the mi
nority party in the district while the
majority party would have the majority
in the convention and the power to con-
troll it. The minority should be repre-
sented, but the. majority should rule.
This principle is especially desirable IN a
constituting convention which is to frame
the fundamental law. the chief object of
which is the protection of the rights of
minorities. am, very truly yours,
,,,j, 7,. VIM, M, SPRINGER.

A nrstiber of prisoners and witnesses,

way to Bismarck.
United States Marshal Marratta,
Deputy Marshal Shattuck and Internal
Revenue Collector Vallandigham pass
ed through jamestown yesterday on

prisoners from the Turtle Mountains,
whom they are taking toBismarck for trial
The names of the prisoners are John G.
Tucker and Jacob Kotschivar, of Dun
seth, aud Andrew Breei and Michael
Altar, Of st. Johns. The two first named
are charged with violating the internal
revenue laws, and the two latter with
cutting timber on government land. A
number OF witnesses also accompanied
the officers, and tonight four or five more
came in from Bottineau on their way tn
Bismarck, where they will testify in the
opium smuggling case, which is set for
hearing Tuesday. ..: -.
~ The officers report that the half breeds
in the Turtle mountains who are resist
ing the attempts Of the sheriff to collect
taxes are about 1,4OO strong, thoroughly
organized and that majority OF them
are armed with Winchester rifles. They
are lmbned with the idea that the con
troll Of that section of country properly
belongs to them. that the county never
was properly organized and that the
county officials have 20 right to impose
taxes upon them; but while they defy the
local authorities and have lntimidated
and terrified the entire white pop ulation
they still show marked respect for the
United States authorities and submitted
to arrest without q murmur. They even
declare that they will pay taxes if or
dered TO do so by the United States
authorities, but will not pay them to
county officials. Breel and Allarr are
two leaders Of the half-breeds, and the
latter was an active participant in the

BISMARCK, March 4.--Special--Fo the
first time since the opening of the session
both houses of the legislature held night
sessions today. Both are well into the
legislative rapids and trying to pull
out by holding three sessions day. The
house finally settled the matter of appro-
priations today, the omnibus bills ac-
companying the majority and minor
ity reports of the appropriation
committee. The two were only $S4, 900
apart, but it seemed almost impossible to
reconcile the differences. This morning,
however, the members who are interested
in appropriations and who feared that if
longer delayed the governor would again
use the bills as club to compel the leg
islature to respect his wishes more than
in the past, arranged compromise which
finally effected a solution of the difficult
ty. \ committee consisting of Messrs
Greene, Patton and Fletcher was ap-
pointed to divide and adjust the differ
ences between the two reports and send
in bill that would do justice to all the
institutions. This committee reported a
bill which was passed, transmitted to the
council, there made d special order for 10
o'clock in the morning, and will doubtles
become law. Ii the council passes it
tomorrow and gets it into the governors
hands the legislature will have the dead
cinch on the executive, for he will have
to return it before the session is over,
and If it comes back with a veto
message both branches will send it over
his head as quick as the roll can be
called.
