Tho Green Stage Managcr's suggestion.
In his younger days Eugene Jepson
and his brother managed a company and
started on tour through Ohio. They
were booked to appear at a little coun-
try town which boasted Of an ''operay
house" and arrived in the settlement
early in the morning.
The opera house was built over lit
tie grocery store, and the lanly 20.year-
old son Of the grocer acted as stage
manager. After breakfast one Of MI.
Jepson's employees went to inspect the
theater. There he found plenty Of seem
cry, but no furniture.
The deficiency was explained to the
grocer's son, and he was told to borrow
the necessary "props" from the neigh
bors in exchange for passes. ''Then, {"
continued the man from the east, 1--WE
want some snow.'
"snow" was the despairing answer.
"Can't you get along without lt2''
'No," was the response. 'It's abso.
lutely necessary"
The raw manager thought awhile and
then moved of down the street, where
he found Mr.. Jepson, to whom he at
once put the query, DO we need snow3"
"Yes," I" was the answer.
"Why, I can't get a bit Of snow at
this season Of the year, /" said the frantic
man, but then, as il struck by an idea,
he continued, "Won't ice do just as
well7"-Phtladelphia Call.

FROM articles published in the
January number of the Southern
States Magazine, published at
Baltimore, Nd, it does not ap-
pear that the Florida freeze was
nearly SO bad as at first reported.
The Southern States says: "The
first reports of any important hap
pening are likely always to be ex-
aggerated. This is particularly
true of any disaster or misfortune.
The statements sent out from
Florida Immediately after the cold
wave of December 20 and 80 as
to the effects of the freeze in that
state were as panicky as the dis
patches from a routed army flee
ing before the victorious enemy.
And the estimates of the loss and
damage were doubtless as much
exaggerated as, in the eyes of the
defeated and terror-stricken SOL
diers, the number of their con-
querors would be magni6ed."

The representatives of this leg.
islative district voted against McGil.
livray and Simpsons county exten.
sion bill. They did so for several
reasons, prominent among which are
the facts that Oliver county does not
want it, and because they believe the
law is unconstitutional. The mem.
bers of the senate and house who de.
clared by their votes that the bill is
unconstitutional were Messrs. Burke
and Parkin in the senate and Messrs.
Holritz, Kroeger, Armstrong and
Murphy in the house. Later devel-
opements will demonstrate who is
correct. The Pioneer wants to give
Messrs. McGillivray and Simpson
due credit for their energy and tact
in securing the passage of their bill.
They have left no stone unturned to
pass their pet measure. They were
elected on that issue. They have
done we'll by their constituents.
They are just the kind of people to
get bills through. Both are eloquent
when they get warmed up to their
subjects. Difference of opinion may
exist as to whether their bill is any
good now it is passed. The Pioneer
gives them credit for being sincere
in their contention that it is con-
stitutional, and that it is good. fair
measure. They make rattling good
team-do this senator and this repre-
sentative. It Stark, Billings and
Mercer have anything else they want,
let them tell Messrs. McGillivray
and Simpson what it is, and keep on
sending these gentlemen to the legis.
lature, or better still, to congress.
They would get the earth for their
counties If they were members of
the Parliament of Nations.-Mandan

WOODS Rainbow Chase.

The passage "f tho bill attaching a
vast area of unorganized territory to
the county of Stark under the specious
plea Of "increasing the revenue of the
state" will, if approved by the gov.
ernor, which is by no means certain,
have fixed upon the settlers along the
Missouri a great injustice. They will
be obliged to travel hundred and
thirty miles through the bad lands,
where there are no roads to reach the
county seat at Dickinson. All their
interests are near to Williston, in
Williams county, and their postoffices
are along the river. Major Murphy
had All amendment which, provided
the hill were found constitutional,
would have attached Alfred and Wal.
lace to Williams county, leaving the
rest of the unorganized territory to
Mercer and Stark.-Steele Ozone.
What inconsistent utterances! Edi.
tor Wood not only shows total igno.
rance of distances and the topog.
raphy "f the country over this side of
the Missouri, but he willfully mis-
leads his readers. No hardships will
be inflicted upon the people along the
Missouri. No one will have to travel
l30 miles, to reach the county seat
Dickinson. The truth is that a mum.
Der Of the Missouri ranchers live in
Dickinson, school their children here
and vote in the Dickinson precinct.
Others live in Mandan. And the
wild eyed Woods scheme to attach
Alfred and Wallace to Williams is a
good one-for the cattlemen. Wal.
lace is on the north of the Missouri

the south would place the county in
position where it would he practi.

ers. A fool-hardy idea! And our pes

not mention the fact that Billings

made up of small and large cattlemen,
takes in an equal division of the un.
organized territory with Stark.

The Bill Is n Law.

May it go down as important
history that at $3.50 p. m, Februa-
ry 2, 1895, Governor Allin signed
Senator McGillivray's bill No. "a,
IAN Act to Increase the Revenue
of the State by Changing and In
creasing the Boundaries of the
Counties of Billings, Stark and
Mercer" The news was immedi-
ately flashed to the Press by
Messrs. McGillivray and Simpson.
The passage of this bill has
caused great rejoicing as the news
has gone out to the homes of the
farmers and small ranchmen
throughout the thirty-frst dis
trict; and our people feel that
North Dakotans have at Bismarck
men of sterling honor and worth,
republicans of the Abe Lincoln
type-of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people.
Senator McGillivray, regardless
of what his enemies may say, is a
man of the people-to be honor
ed for the enemies he has made
and to be congratulated for the
place he has won in the hearts of
the people.
Representative Simpson has
not only acquired distinction and
prestige but he has proven him
self worthy of every confidence
reposed in him by the people, for
his manly fight against those who
would encroach on the rights of
the people.
The able and concerted efforts
of Messrs. McGillivray and Simp-
son in securing the passage of a
law providing for extending coun-
ty boundaries has commended it.
self to the reading public of the
state. 1t is a source of great
qualification to know that we have
representatives from the thirty
first district at the Capitol who
dare to do right. While provok-
ing the enmity of corporate pow
er, they have shown a fearless dis
position to serve the interests of
the state, and have secured the
rights and privileges demanded
by amajority of their constituents.
The PRESS feels like congratu-
lating every body on the outcome
of the county boundary fight.
We feel satisfied that the people,
and the courts if necessary, can
be trusted to ratify the steps al
ready taken.
