The reapportionment of the
legislative districts of the state is
among the most important matters
that will come before this winters
sessions of the legislature. Since
the admission Of North Dakota to
statehood no changes have been
made and the results of the vote
cast at the late election show that
many districts, among others the
Eighteenth, have much less than
their rightful share Of Legislative
representation. When the first
superintendent was made at the
time of statehood the counties
along the Red river were apparent
" given a good deal the best Of it.
This IS particularly noticeable in
the case of Cass, which with vote
8 Of only $40 is divided into three
Legislative districts and has three
state senators eight members Of
the lower house, q striking contrast
to Cavalier county with its vote of
1886 and but one senator and two
representatives. Further COM
parisons show that a reimbursement
ID badly: needed in favor Of the
western counties which have gain
ia largely il population Of late
syears.

The list is about the same length
as that of last year and it is gen.

the list has, been kept down to a
great extent by the heavy penalties
which the law now attaches to

TAKE TWO HOMESTEADS.
Under Certain Conditions $50
Acres Of u. y. Land Can
Be Secured.

The register and receiver Of the
Marquette land Office Monday re-
ceived circular from Commissioner G
Binger Herman calling their atten-
tion to new provision in the home
stead law. This is in brief that un-
der certain conditions any male
citizen can take up two homesteads.
The law now stands that any per-
son who prior to an act approved
June 9th of this year made home
stead entry but who for any cause
forfeited the same shall be entitled
to the benefits of the homestead
laws as though such former entry
had never been made. The same
applies if the original claim was
commuted, that is, If it was bought
in at the government rate Of $1.25
an acre after a residence of fourteen
months. However, when he takes
his second claim the homesteader
will not be allowed to commute, but
must live out the full FIVE years as
required by the statute.

A Novel Wager.

Word comes from Coldwater, Mich.
that Arthur Williams, proprietor Of
Burr Oak livery barn, and George
Stebbins have made an up-to-date
election bet. If Bryan is elected
Williams is to support Stcbbins'
mother-in-law during the remainder
of her natural life. Should McKin-
ley be reelected Stebbins is pledged
to twist the tail of o vicious mule
belonging to Williams once a day
for three weeks, or until the twister
is permanently disabled. The agree
ment is backed by forfeit.
Williams will never be obliged,
under the provisions of the wager, to
support the mother'in-law IN ques-
ton, but the other fellow will GER
tainly have an opportunity to twist
the mule tail.

of the water power of Fall river
there, was not for stamp mill pur-

point. The company which will

Bro. Powers must have allowed
Imagination to get the best of
his eyesight when he penned the
first sentence OF the above item.
The SENTINEL has never intimated
that L'Anse is out of the race for
stamp mills, for such is not the
case. There is no better site in the
upper peninsula for stamp mills
than in this vicinity, and the day
is not far distant when we will have
them.

A Minister'S Mishap.

Rev. II. Gillingham, at Copper
Range Sunday, learned the power Of
the festive little fly for woe if not
for veal. After insuring the animal
as best he could against the attacks
of flies, the minister tied the horse
but the tortured animal easily
slipped his bride, broke away, over
turned the buggy, broke the thills,
seat and harness, and did about SO
worth of damage.

First ShiplOad of Iron Ore From
the North Shore of Lake
Superior.
PROVING A BIG SURPRISE
Are the New Discoveries in the
MichipicOten Mining
District.

A report from Sault Ste. Marie to
the Detroit News says:
'The Michipicoten district con-
tinues to turn out surprises in the
mineral line. The latest is a new
field adjacent to Dog river, relatively
situated about Is miles north OF
Lake Superior and 20 miles west OF
Michipicoten harbor. For years it
has been known that this vicinity
contained iron ore, the first record
being the field notes of the Old Her.
rick survey line. This line was sur
veyed in 1864 and was made by the
Ontario government, with view OF
creating a military and post road
around Lake Superior toward the
Northwest territory, but nothing
came of it, and though the work
seemed waste of time and money,
it is now proving OF considerable
value in the explorations going on.
Numerous deposits OF red hema-
tite have been uncovered this spring
and at present the field is fairly well
covered by prospectors, including
the interests of the Minnesota Iron
Co. and the Algoma Central rail
road. At the delta of Dog river is
a fine natural harbor that will in
sure safe and commodious means
of lake shipping in the event of a
sufficient supply of iron ore being
found This, of course, would in
clnde short line Of railroad run
ming to the point. That the ore is
in abundance is evident from the
great activity going on at present,
for it has attracted all the best pros
pectors in the Michipicoten district.
''The first shipload of iron ore
frsm the Delta mine at Michipicoten
and the FIRST ever shipped from the
north shore of Lake Superior went
down the lakes to Midland, Ont, on
the steamer Theano, Of the Algoma
Central feet, few days since. The
steamer Paliki, of the same Feet,
passed down through the Canadian
lock last week with another cargo
Of the ore destined for lower lake
port. The Helen mine is owned by
the Lake Superior Power Co.
Messrs. Powell g. Mitchell, of Mar
9uette, have the contract for mining
the ore. They employ a force OF 2oO
men and are working night and day.
At present they are quarrying and
crushing 800 tons of ore every ten
hours. When the new, all metal
ore cars, with capacity of 80 tons
each, are 10 operation, and when the
seif-dumping machinery is ready,
which will be in short time, the
production of the mine viii be large
ly increased. When all the I'm.
provements now under way are com
pleted, a boat can be loaded witk
ore within day, the same as at
other ore docks on the lakes. y

The Etiquette of Milking.

Cleveland Plaindealer: Old-fash-
toned ideas about milking are at dis
count in Plainfield, in the state Of
New Jersey. When you milk Plain
field COW you must first wash your
hands. You must also brush your
clothes. Besides this the cows have
nice airy bedrooms, and milk-tickets
can be used but once.
To the old-fashioned farmer mixer
these rules will seem odious. But if
he doesn't observe them in Plainfield,
veterinary surgeon will drop around
at odd times and convince him that he
can't afford to neglect them.
OF course the Plainfield board of
health has only begun to formulate
the rules of etiquette for use in the
barn-yard. Later on the milkmaids
will be obliged to wear an entire milk
ing costume, something cream-col-
ored, no doubt, with vines and bovines
running all over it.
The men who do the milking will
wear frock coats and high hats, dress.
suits not being permissible before G
o'clock, unless the mixer is q Chi.
cago man.
Milking stools painted green will
not be permitted in the barnyard.
In case it is showery an umbrella
must be held over the cows head. If
the weather is very warm a ventilat-
ing wheel must be operated by an
electric motor amidsllips of the COW.
Cows chewing-cuds must be
changed every two hours.

Mansfield had no more use for
Quinn, and during the remainder of
the engagement they spoke to each
other only when it was absolutely nee
