IN THE HOTEL Aonn1Es,

Did the Thought ever come to you that
the air OF the Pembina mountains, in
Cavalier county, must be very invigora,-
Ing and productive to long life and splcn.

'Tom' has been n familiar figure 1T ali

Now that South Dakota has established
the precedent that it is necessary for the
entire membership OF the legislature to 80

there, | hear quite Il few of the North la.
kO,a statesmen think audibly that perhaps
they made Il mistake the other day when
they voted down Speaker WalSh's recon-

UT is a poor statesman that can not rustic
bed and board for a few days. Let that
ghost walk once more in the house and a
pne as being q rather good thing, es.
pecially in the form previously introduced
without an appropriation.
My, what a time the committees on ap-
preparations in both houses are going to
have shortly. The bills are piling up
mountain high and the adage, "The old
flag and an appropriation" is the watch
word OH the hill tops. And really, too, it
strikes me that the great majority of the
bills should have but a little pruning, if
any is needed. The institutions Of the
state, especially the educational ones. are
meeting with unprecedented success and
pupils are piling in faster than any board
Ot trustees can handle with the present
facilities. The emergency must be met
and the only way so to do is by expanding
money.
My friend Ralph Hall says that he
wishes it understood that he had but a
small field of that wheat which yielded
forty bushels per acre, and the proceeds of
what he did have has already gone up the
cigar route and he wishes to be let alone
on that gag for q time. l understand he
rues the day when he made the statement
as to his crop of boom dimensions.
At least one of the pages who are rum
hing their legs OFF to carry the messages
of the legislators, will have in a few years
something substantial to remember the
%session of 1893. With the money which he
has in view at the close of the session he
&has purchased Il lot in this city, and for IL
kid that is no small item. When he at

1 am sorry to learn that my two friends,
tWineman, of Grand Forks, and Simpson,
SOf Dickinson, have locked horns over that
SSSsdivOrce business which Jake is trying to
net through the house. 1t appears to Jake
;;ENSfhat the present time Of residence, tO-wi;:
asS66ninety days, is too small and he wants it
made one year. On the contrary, Simpson
thinks the present statute is all right, aud
hence the divergence OF what L had sup

Both are members of the bar in active
practice, and this is what makes it queer
Ehat the time limit should be extended.
Why should Sioux Falls get all this rich
picking from those unlappily mated in

The bill introduced yesterday by Repre-
tentative McCanna will strike his cOnstit
hents, at least, as being excellent aud Il
hove in the proper direction. In sub
y Btance it makes il compulsory for railroad
s. kOmpanies to operate every week day at
n PAST one train over their main and. branch
B mes. While the charge cannot be laid Il;
8HS he door of the Northern Pacific that they
SBSHO not so keep up their service, up in the
N#WOrtlleril portion OF the state, where Mr..
a$$Hill reaches his iron bands. it seems to be
saasESlhe rule for him to run his trains about
5kSa6NNice each week. While it may be DOS
s##Atbiy / II that this is all the traffic will
ggMRarrant, yet the settlers who have gone on
49he prairies on the assurance of railroad
2acOnnectiOns have some rights and they will
INSIST that the measure will become a pOr-
gsttsOn of our statutes. The Great Northern
company is not a corporation of the state,
n nut we presume this will make no differ
in the cOnstitutiOnality OF the bill. Ii
#$3passed and enforced it certainly would
prove q blessing to many Il family in
