the schemes Matched during the last few
months by democrats and pops will die
q burnin,, so to speak, but there seems
to be something in the plan OF Attorney
General Standish to get Judge Temple
ton on the track for the supreme bench
in order that he may run for district
judge in the Grand Forks district.
Capt. Braithwaite arrived from st.
Louis a few days ago and it is an open
secret that he is after one Of the land
Office positions with fair prospects OF
success. It also appears that Myron
Hutchinson, who has been so long in the
office as chief clerk, has the strongest
and most formidable backing for one of
the Bismarck positions of any candidate
for Office in North Dakota. It is not a
question Of who endorses him but rather
who does not endorse him. There is a
disposition on the part of the old grizzly
war horses who have put in a lifetime
fighting the G. 0. p, however, to crowd
the young bucks to the rear until after
they have had a turn at the government
crib Myron is in danger.
Senator Roach wants the Bismarck
democrats to agree or a candidate for
postmaster. What a preposterous pro-
position. How can Bismarck democrats
be expected to agree when divisions and
splits are rampant everywhere? I guess
the young lady will remain in charge
for awhile. The only objection raised to
her is that she is not a man-not q party
or ward politician, who can get out and
"whoop her up for Bourbonism, when
occasion requires.
Senator Hansbrough is striving to get
national legislation and national help to
combat the Russian thistle IN North Da-
kota, and l am surprised that he is not
more earnestly supported by his constit-
uents. I notice that some newspapers
are so blind to the states interests as to
declare that the Russian thistle is not a
bad thing, and that sheep thrive on it.
With free wool I do not believe North
Dakotans will favor the sheep pasture
scheme. Senator Hansbrough ought to
be backed up by resolutions Of county
boards, and other organizations in favor
o .national aid in exterminating this
pest-not alone existing in North Da-
kota, but in several OF the northwestern
states. There is by no means too much
farmer legislation here. The farmers
ought to encourage what little is pend
ing.
Mckenzie was over from New York
on some bond matters, the other day
and his old associate, Coffin, after q
brief visit to the Cherokee country-on
that ~$3,5OO,0OO bond proposition-hur-
ried back to London. He'll be back
again in a few weeks. I understand he
has made a great deal of money since
leaving Bismarck, and now lives in grand
style in London.
F. Jay Haynes is still here. He is ar
ranging Yellowstone Park leases with
the secretary of the interior and, he tells
me everything is going his way. l re-
joice with Haynes in his good fortune
because none are more deserving. By
the way I learn that the geological sur

or better to those of any other artist.
Haynes makes it pay. He cleaned up
$4,000 last year.
