The gang Of scheming politicians
who have been trying to run the gov
ernor should by this time become
convinced that John Miller was
elected by the people of North Da-
kota and not by the politicians that
hang out on the Missouri slope.
Gov. Miller is man in every sense
Of the word and his frmness in re-
sisting any overtures made to hirn by
the lottery people,has made him many
warm friends who will only be too
glad to cast their votes for him next
fall if he should be favored with re-
nomination. He has made a very
able executive-one who will do all he
can for the people who elected him.
North Dakota has governor and
not mere 6gure-head.

To the Residents Of the 10Th Legislative
District:
I am grateful to all my many friends
who have, by means of kilograms and
private letters, favored me with the
opinion Of themselves and others con.
corning the late lottery bill which for
some time absorbed the attention of the
Legislature and the people of. the
l was little surprised at first to find
so many favoring and advocating the
passage Of the measure, but I don't
know as l ought to have been surprised
knowing the present financial strain of
the state and knowing how it struck
myself when the scheme was first
broached to me. know the state need
ell the money and l did not know as il
would be injurious in any manner, but
later on became convinced and salts
fled that it would become controlling
power in politics which the people
should reserve for themselves, and
that it was not calculated to work any
great reform in society nor materially
elevate the morals of our people, - l
deemed it best for the people Of North
Dakota to run this state and let tho

friends of the bill preferred killing il
to going on record as supporting it to

The committee appointed to solici,
subscriptions for the purpose of rum
ming the creamery, have met with
such liberal responses from our bust
ness men and other citizens that it is
now an assured fact that the creans-
cry will be run this season. This is
just as it should be. The creamery
is one of the best institutions VIC
have in Griggs County and brings
more money into Cooperstown and
at the same time helps out the farm
ers who patronize it, largely. Their
tickets are cashed at any store
and by the sale of their cream they
have been enabled to keep themselves
in groceries all summer big help.
TO those business men who have so
literally responded to the call for
funds, great credit is due. 1t shows
considerable public enterprise and
a determination to keep their town
and county to the front if rustling
and public spirit has anything to do
with it. Cooperstown has had set
backs but it will not be the fault of
our business men if she does not
stride to the front if there is any pos
sible show at all.

The house passed the committee
bill fixing the maximum rates that
railroads may charge for the trans
portation of coal mined within the
state, without change. The rates un-
der this bill will admit of coal being
delivered on track at Bismarck-al-
lowing s1.a5 per ton for the coal on
tack at Sims-for $2 per ton; at Steele
and Dawson for sa.2o; at jamestown
for $2.4o; at Sanborn, Valley City,
Tower City, Buffalo, LaMoure and
Darlington for $500; Casselton, Far
90, Oakes, Cooperstown, New Rock
ford and Minnewaukan for $3.50.
This coal rate problem is very COM
plex. There seems to be no inclina-
ton on the part of the legislature to
exact of the railroads anything but
what is fair and calculated for the
best interests of all concerned. The
rate established by the bill which has
passed the house will certainly be
satisfactory to the people and must
result in the development of the ma
tive coal mines. The rates now fixed

the Northern Pacific will argue that
an arbitrary rate should be charged
for transportation over the Missouri

conclusively that the bridge was a

WACO, TEX, March 27.-The street
committee of the city council, to whom
the matter was referred with power to
act, has agreed upon route the entire
stree: railway. It is not known yet
whether the company will accept the
franchise granted or not. The route
named By the street committee is as
follows: Beginning at the intersection
of Doughtry's lane with the
southwestern city limits, thence
east on street north of Onkwood GENE
terry to Second street, thence north OH
Second to Washington, thence west on
Washington to Fourth street, thence
north on Fourth to Park avenue, thence
west on Park avenue 10 Wood street,
thence along Wood to Andrews street,
thence along Andrews TO the city limits
The company is given the entire length
of Second street. 1t is generally con-
coded that if the company is granted a
franchise through the western suburbs
from north 10 south the foregoing fran
chiSe will be accepted, bIN If not it is
believed they Will contend for a franchise
through the central portion of the city
from north to south. The above men,
toned route will be embed ed in an ordi-
nance, and will probably come up before
the next cOuncil. The view the next
co neil will take of it, however. is a
matter of speculation.
The election comes of next Tuesday;
and it may be possible several changes
will take place. The race in the Third
ward appears to. be the most interesting.
Alderman Lacy in the Second ward is
matched with Mr.. F Z. Dowlen, who is
very popular, especially among the
working classes. Mayor Hinchman COM
mences thorough canvas of the city to-
night, speaking at some point in the
city every night this week.

THE Ohio rivers continued rise is &C.
casioning much anxiety. Experts at
Cincinnati are warning all who live along
the banks to prepare for a rise
of seventy-seven feet. Every pre-
caution is urged to guard against
a water famine, for although like
a painted ship upon painted ocean,
there is danger of water, water every
where and not drop to drink. In New
port and Cincinnati it is recommended
that every possible reservoir be kept full
in case the engines at the waterwUrks are
stopped. This is not fictitious danger,
as the packing, from long submergence,
is already loose, and the water makes
adjustment impossible.

THE land grabbers are getting in their
work by the latest and most approved
methods. Mr.. Payson of Illinois, who
has been extremely outspoken in his dis
appreciation of the claims of the rail-
roads, has been extremely conciliatory

the senate theory, which opposes the set
Element of the question by the circuit
court OF the United States. The diff
ference between the Democratic theory
and the Republican involves the DISPOSE
ton OF 55 900. 900 acres, and it is
thought the unearned grants will revert
to the railroads except about 5000 200
acres of worthless mountain land in
Washington. The Northern Pacific,
whether finished or unfinished, accord
ing to the contract is TO get its alternate
grants of land. Railroad competitions and
Republican officials seem to be law
unto themselves.
