AN sENAToR

AN ATTENTIVE SENATOR.
The correspondent OF the Washing
ton Post has the following words Of
praise for North Dakota's junior SEN
ator:
There is senator who has not,
yet spoken a word, but whose PERSONAL
lty has become of much interest to fire.
quenters of the galleries. Porter James
McCumber sits in the rear row on the
republican side. He is the most reg
ular attendant upon sessions that his
side of the chamber has. No speech
is SO dreary that McCumber does not
sit it out. More than that, his face
assumes a most serious and attentive
aspect From time to time the North
Dakota man bends over the writing
pad on his desk, and makes a few
notes. Then he raises his face and
watches the speaker intent1y. The
first time Senator McCumber took
notes those who saw him were sure
he was going to make some reply. But
he didn't. He has taken notes eyery
day, and he has not yet spoken. When
the chamber is full and business is Of
general interest Senator McCumber's
devotion to debate does not attract at
tention. But when some senator is
simply killing time, and fve-sixths Of
3 seats are empty and nobody but
Senator McCumber is listening, the
action of the North Dakota statesman
is impressive.

10 NATIoNAL BANKS.

#CHANGE 10 NATIONAL BANKS.
It is probable that the northwest
will take fuller advantage than any
other section of The country of the
Nelson provision in the currency bill,
allowing the organization or CONVEX
sion of a state bank into a national
ban in cities of not more than 5000
Inhabitants. The records in the office
of the controller of the currency show
that inquiries from Minnesota and
North Dakota are especially numerous
and the number Of national banks in
these two states will be materially in
creased.
In North Dakota CHI. Davidson Of
the Darlington State Bank wants to
convert that bank, the Wells County
State Banksof Fessenden. the Benson
County State Bank of Minnewankan
and the Williams County State Bank
of Williston, into national banks; the
officials of the ToWner County bank at
Cando also want to convert that bank
to a national bank, and As. Peterson,
cashier of the First Bank of Harvey,
w. d. McClintock OF the Merchants,
Bank Of Rugby, want similar priv
siIeges.

RESERVOIR FILINGS.
Special Agent Lounsberry Ordered "a
Investigate and Report on Reservoir
Filings.
Ovea Nine Hundred Of Them in the
Bismarck District to be Re
ported Upon.

Col. g. A. Lounsberry, special agent
of the land department, has been or
dered to Investigate and report upon
the filings that have been made in the
Bismarck land district under the s
ervoir law.
The provisions of the law are fam
liar to all residents of the western part
of the state where the law has been
literally taken advantage of. It
gives settlers the right to file a de-
claratory statement and file upon
land, with the intention of building
reservoirs for the storage of water.
Up to the present time there have
been ove 300 filings made in the Bis
smarck land district. The Y
ment is led to believe that the inten-
ton of many Of the persons who haye
flied on land is not bona fde in the
matter of building a reservoir. 1t
will be the duty of the inspector to
examine the filings and report upon
those of them not believed under all
the conditions to be bona fde. Such
of them will be cancelled.
In the Devils Lake land office and
district all filings have been rejected.

ING COMPROMISE LIKELY.


Minnesota Communication and Railrosds
Will Probably Fail to Agree.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 15.--Itis stated
on good authority that there Is no prob
ability Of the state railroad commission
and the roads Of this state agreeing to a
reduction Of rates as proposed BY the
former.
The commission has made a careful
study OF conditions, apart from all po-
itical considerations. It's Investigations
have resulted III the conviction thatrthe
railroads Of Minnesota enjoy q much
greater profit than the roads which
traverse through Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin. It is said further, in sup
port Of the commission i, stand, that
certain roads ID Minnesota derived net
returns exceeding $1,000 per mile DUR
ing the past Year. IN the Judgment Of
the commission, this is excessive and
out Of all proportion to the considera-
tion shown the people Of the state BY
the roads which basked in snch profits,
Courts the Main Battle Ground.
e is NOT likely that the railroads will
submit to the commission any extensive
array Of figures in tho hope Of convinc-
ing that body Of an errorin Judgment.
The attorneys for the roads will appear
before the commission on the day Of
hearing and make brief verbal argu-
ments opposing a rate reduction. It is
expected their request viii be al
lowed. and the question viii then go to
the courts. where the roads will fghsit
with yigpr.

a runaway a few months ago at Grand

little letter in the Herald:
Since my partial recovery from the
effects OF the accident last fall by which

OF hundreds of acts of kindness to me

letters of inquiry and words OF SYM
pathy from many upon whom / had

Words cannot express my gratitude

.aences OF their friendship, but / wish
to state through the Herald that

friends individually, their Kindness
and devotion will ever be among my
most cherished memories.

MILLERs KICK.

The Red River Milers' association.
has sent a long memorial to congress,
protesting against the alleged discrim-
nation of the railroads in freight rates
on wheat, as against flour.
They claim that the milling industry
of North Dakota and western Mime
sofa is suffering large losses from this
discrimination, and urge the passage
of a bill so that the interstate COM
merce commission will have more
power.
Dakota millers further declare that
certain large interests in Minneapolis
are profiting by this alleged rate dis
elimination, and they further insist
that the Northwestern Miller, paper
published at Minneapolis, in opposing
the Cullom bill amending the inter-
state commerce act, can no longer be
considered al representing the milling
interests Of the country.
They hold their shape, wear like
leather and always look WeH-the Lam
