CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The convention practically finished its
labors last week, and the delegates de-
parted for their homes, awaiting the COM
pletion of dividing the territorial proper
ties. When that is accomplished they
will reconyene and then soon adjourn for
good. The facetions will probably claim
this is due largely to the fact that the
s2O, 900 appropriate IN is consumed.
Hand county was placed in senatorial
district by itself, and will be represented
by one senator and three representatives
The PRESS believes this large representa-
tion to be an unnecessary expense to the
tax payers and should be corrected II pos
slble by the first legislature, but candidly
we have little hope of it being done, as 1t
would sound the death knell OF several
ambitions statesmen.
The judicial district in which Hand Is
placed remains the same as first reported.
IL is the 9th district and comprises HAND,
HYDE, Hughes, Stanley, Sully, Potter
Campbell, walworth, Edmunds, Faux
and Mcpherson. The only relief 10 be
hoped for from so large district 10 tna'
il will be the sooner divided into two CON-
pact districts with an additional Judge
This district was approved by both hahu
county delegates, Messrs Hartley ana
Anderson.

Harvest in this section is under good

more favorable to Hand county than the
most sanguine had expected month ago

weather has been perfect for harvest work

men all agree that Hand is this year one

There has been such gradual tendency
towards mixed farming the past three
