Significance of Gov. Pterce's Recent Visit.
ELLENDALE, N. D., Aug. 21-[Special.
l was glad to see the papers of the state
copy from the Minneapolis Tribune, the
words uttered by Ex-senator Gilbert A.
Pierce regarding North Dakota. I don't
know whether any significance should
be attached to the act of the ex-senator
in proving up on a tree claim in Nc
Intosh county or not, but one thing I do
know and that is the people of this Sec
ton regret that Gov. Pierce is not now
one of the states representatives in the
upper branch of congress, and I am sat-
isfed he would have gotten there if he
had remained in the state until last ses-
sion, notwithstanding his Knockout
two years previous. We, in this section,
havn't felt just right since the cover.
nor's defeat four years ago, and believe
an injustice was done him and the state.
It ie possible that Gov. Pierce intends
to regain his residence, and again be-
come a factor in our politics. He was
one of the prime movers in the building
of the 500 line into this state, and I
have been told that but for his efforts
and his influence with Tom Lowry and
other leading spirits of the 500 road,
this state would not have the benefit of
this great line running d~iagonally
through the state. There is little doubt
but that the branch will ultimately be
extended to Bismarck and the coal fields
and thus every part Of the state will be
benefited. When this line is built there
will be some good towns in Mcintosh
and Logan counties. IT Pierce should
return to the state now, where he has
just as many friends as he aver had, he
would be in trim for the struggle two
years hence, when I wouldn't be a bit
surprised to see the 500 country, north
and south, unite upon a candidate of ite
own for U. s. Senator. Stranger things
