Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1890-10-17

and is contained in the amendment which
goes into the tariff law. These are Sena-
tor Pierce's measures alone.
In addition to them he took an active
part in securing the $4,000 appropriated
for irrigation, and in securing the $500, 900
for the improvement of the Missouri river.
He also labored to secure the passage of
the timber culture law, introduced in the
house by Mr.. Payson of Illinois. Also the
appropriation for agricultural colleges
asked for in Mr.. Morrills senate bill which
has finally passed the house.
Of course this does not include the many
cases of pensions, land claims, patents,
etc, ETC., which the senator has succeeded
in getting through the departments, or the
work he has done in assisting to pass, or
in trying to pass, various measures like the
free binding clause which went through
the senate but which the house refused to
adopt. No measure for the benefit of the
farmers has escaped his attention. He has
been a persistent advocate of free sugar,
which has been adopted. When the prop
osition was up to create a tariff commits
sion he was on hand with an amendment
providing that at least three of the men,
bers should be practical farmers. He was
ruled out on a point of order, and he i'm
mediately sought the president and re-
ceived encouragement that if the commits
sion was created three farmers should be
appointed.
There has not been a sectional act in his
work. One part of the state has not been
preferred to another. The Missouri river
is the great stream of the state and hap
pens to run through the western part, but
of course no one will object to its receiv-
ing an appropriation for that reason.
The new land office reduces business in
the Bismarck district, but is of great adj
vantage to settlers. The new surveying
district is most important to the whole
state.
He has passed two bills through the SEN
ate for Fargo, the penitentlary bill for
Grafton, the port of entry bill for Pembi-
ma, the court bill for Devils Lake, Fargo
and Grand Forks. If any mans work has
been more equitably divided, it would be
interesting to have it pointed out.
