Correspondence OF the RECORD
According to announcement, the Hon.
Ira s. Lampman addressed meetings IN
Emmons county this week on the subject
of the principles and benefits of the
Farmers Alliance at the following times
and places: Winchester, Monday, at 2
p. M; Westdeld, Tuesday evening !;
Wlnona. Wednesday, at p. nj. In spite
of the limited time TO get the notices out,
the attendance was good. The fact that
some farmers left their hay making to
hear the address in the afternoon shows
how great is the anxiety to learn about
the alliance; and it is worthy of note
that the hearers generally accepted the
truths advanced and espoused the alliance
cause. The subject was ably handled by
Mr.. Lampman, in manner both pleas
ant and convincing. Especially was his
elaborate exposition of the wheat rob
bers'' admirable. 1t is hoped that other
speakers as able may be secured for En-
mons county at an early date. OBSERVER

The Convention.


While at Bismarck this week the writer
paid visit to the capitol and saw the
organlc-law incubator in full blast. And
we will arise and remark right here that
If any one in this railroadless region
where for six long years our farmers
have hoped and prayed for the welcome
music of a locomotives snort ~ fears
that the men now ut Bismarck will smite
the transportation companies hip and
thigh, such fears are gloundless. The
members appear to- be reasonably con-
servative, to fully understand the wants
of the new North State, and resolved to
do no injustice to any factor that will aid
in the upbuilding of the youthful com.
monwealth. The convention may fairly
be divided into three classes first, the
men of real oratorical ability, who never
take the floor unless they have something
to say, whose remarks are interesting
and instructive, and who are listened to
with marked attention second, the men,
bers who have little to say, but who keep
posted as to every detail, and who
may generally be depended upon for
faithful work in the committee room. 3.
The class more or less numerous in every
deliberative assembly who "talk to hear
themselves talk" whose originality is in
an inverse ratio to their wind, and who
seek to debate even the most triflIng and
unimportant matters-matters that could
be voted upon intelligently by the most
obtuse member. without word in de.
Tense, condemnation or explanation. This
is the class that lengthens sessions and
makes other members homeslck. How.
ever, il is said to be not very numerously
represented in this body.
The convention has gotten down to
business and theie is no dearth of hard
work for, in addition to the numerous
single propositions introduced, E.. A.
Williams has submitted complete con-
stitutlon. 1t is not likely, however, that
it will be adopted as whole, for there
are other members there whom we heard
express opinions Numerically opposed
to some of its provisions.
Our observation-disclosures. Clayton, Fay
and Brown--are much interested in the
question of apportionment and are striv-
iap to prevent the counties of the dis
trict being tackled on to others much
more populous and thus made to do the
"me-too" act, as of yore. This refers to
the making of senatorial districts, as the
plan of giving each organized county at
least one member of the lower house
seems destined to prevail, One PROPOSE
tion makes senatorial district out of
Emmons. Mcintosh and Logan, and this,
we believe, would best satisfy the people
of the three counties. However, this
matter of apportionment is in chaotic
stage, with many conflicting interests at
stake, and no one can predict what the
final shuttle will bring forth.

The Crops.


Again this week the condition of crops
has improved, owing to considerable
amount of rainfall. Oats, particularly,
are much improved, and fears of hay
famine are removed. Even in those
fields where wheat is shortest, the heads
are flling out with good. plump grain,
and on sod and corn ground there will be
more wheat and of a better quality than
the average last year. Every farmer in
the Willlamsport neighborhood with
whom we have conversed this week asserts
that the RECORDS figures of two weeks
ago-an average in the, Williamsport
country Of ten to twelve bushels of good
wheat per acre-is none too high.

Oil In Todd.

Some excitement is reported from
Todd county over the discovery OF
petroleum on the farm OF Mrs. Tuck
er, near Sharon Grove. Evidences
of coal having been found on the
land, some men we're digging fol
that, when at depth of only twenty
five feet they struck vein of sand
stone rock, saturated in oil. When
these rocks were placed in the fire
the oil in their pores burned brill
liantly. 1. G Coles removed several
rocks, and some of them have been
sent to Nashville for analysis. 1t is
believed a stream of oil can be found
at a greater depth, aud well will be
sunk If the verdict of the geologists
is such as will justify it.
