CAPE NOTE CLAIr1S.
Discussion Of Senator Hansbrough's
Amendment Against Alien
Claims.

Washington, April Fin the dis
cussion Of the Alaskan civil code bill
Mr.. Bansbrough CRep., n. D. pro-
posed the following amendment:
THAT no persons who are not eth
Zens OF the United'Statcs, or who prior
to making location had not legally de-
clared their intention TO become such
shall be permitted TO locate, hold, on
convey mining claims in said district
of Alaska, nOr shall any title to a
mining claim acquired by location Or
purchase through any such person or
persons be legal
The amendment precipitated q
lively debate. II was again asserted
that some mining claims had been To-
Gated at Cape Nome by Laplanders who
had gone To Alaska with the relief OK
petition to take care Of the herd OF
reindeer. 1t was stated that some
OF these Laplandcrs had made appli-
cation TO become American citizens be-
fore the United States commissioner
in Alaska. They located claims in
the Cape Nome district. Later they
disposed of the claims.
MI. Stewart tSilver, New protested
against the adoption of the amend
mcnt. He sad that II C. d. Lane
had acquired some Cape Nome claims
from the l.aplandcrs who had located
them. and had expended upon them
about S:;nn.OOn. Should the amend
ment be adopte,.. he said. Mr.. Lane
would lose not only the claims but all
he had invested in them. Subsequent
to the location of the claims by the
Laplanders the claims were relocated
by other miners, who now claim pos
session of them. The adoption of the
amendment, it was said, would give
the r%elocators the claims.
MI. Teller (Silver-Rep., COLI held
the Laplandcrs had an undoubted
right to the claims they had located.
Mr.. Daniel Dcm., Va.) opposed the
amendment. Mr.. HansbrOngh said
the ~Laplandcrs had located from 1000
to 2.nW acres of placer claims on the
various creeks in the district. They
were not American citizens. Later,
American citizens arrived in the dis
trict, and finding all the richest claims
located by aliens" they relocated
them. AS American citizens they
claimed only their rights. So far as
he was personally concerned, Mr..
Hansbrough said. he had no interest
in the claims. direct or indirect. con-
tingent or remote.
Mr.. Teller maintained that it made
no difference whether the Laplanders
were citizens of the United States or
not. While the law was That only
citizens of the United States could To-
cate mining claims the question of cit
iZenship could be raised only by the
United States, and it was well under
stood the United States would never
raise it.
The bill was laid aside without fur
Their debate.

politics in Stutsman: The large ma
jority that jamestown gave the Fan
cher ticket was taken by the county
delegates us a fair expression Of the
sentiment here, and few of the outside
delegates attempted to oppose it. An
effort was made by the Glaspell mel
to get delegates for Fancher and Judge
Glaspell both but the effort failed.
There was no compromise to be had
and no concession to be found any

CUMBERLAND

"WOnderland" for 1900 has been is
sued by the passenger department of
the Northern Pacific. 1t is probably
the best publication ever issued by any
railroad. 1t is handsomely illustrated
and it's press-wOrk is highly artistic.
About half of the book is taken up
with 4 history oil the Louisiana pur-
chase and the Lewis and Clarke en-
petition to the northwest. This his
torical sketch is followed by The
Story OF a Railway" and "Through
Yellowstone Park.
How Lewis and Clarke ''blaZed the
way through the great northwest is
told in an entertaining fashion. Their
nair breadth 'scapes' from, the noble
red mans tOmahawk are described
and illustrated. The number of miles
they travelled from the mouth of to
the head waters of the Missouri river
and its tributaries are set forth in a
striking tabulatcd showing that they
trayersed over 1000 miles. The per-
sonnet OF the expedition receives due
attention.
Much of the region explored by
Lewis and Clarke is now largely trib-
utary TO the Northern Pacific railway.
In places the rails almost literally fol-
low Lewis and C!arke'S trail.
The story OF their progress through
this vast country is illustrated by re-
productions Of the quaint pictures Of
the exciting incidents and experiences
they encountered. In contrast with
these relics OF American antiquity. SO
to speak. are numerous finely executed
ha!f-tones reproducing on paper the
wheat farms. villages and cities that
a passenger on a Northern Pacific train
a now behold between Minneapolis
and Portland. thus is the develop
ment of a century shown.
Words fail to do justice to the illus
tratiye virtues of the book. The
camera work is of the choicest quality
and the reproductions are perfect.
The most picturesque and character
istic scenes were selected. Land
ScapeS, farms. lakes, rivers, mountain
peaks, valleys. lodges, cliffs-every
striking achievement Of nature, in fact
has been photographed.
The latter haIf of the volume is de.
voted to the story of the Northern Pa.
cific railway. The narrative is also
illustrated with the same liberality

A Liberal Offer.

The Northwestern newspaper which is
conceded the largest circulation is the
Minneapolis Tribune. AS an all round
purveyor of informationand entertaining
reading it's popularity is the best proof of
its ascendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the city
people the Twice.a-Wee edition of the
same publication, the Farmers Tribune,
is to that great majority of the people of
the state who are too busy to read a
daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Tribune.
is, to all intents and purposes, the farm
er's daily. 1t is a condensation of the
news for the three days preceding the
date OF publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.
The Farmers Tribune does not pre-
] sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place just
outside Of the sphere of the home paper,
and in this capacity it is of the highest
value to a large majority of the people of
the northwest.
The Bismarck Tribune has made ar
engagements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer we ever made.
Ii you are now a subscriber for the
Tribune we will send you The Farmers
Tribune (twice.a-week) with your paid
in-advance renewal of subscription to
the paper. You thus get the two papers
for s1.25. No stronger inducement
could be offered.
The same offer is also extended to new
subscribers.
Do not delay taking advantage OF this
offer. It will not be continued long.
You cannot afford to let this splendid
opportunity slip by. Send in your sub
scription to the Bismarck Tribune and
get with it The Farmers Twice-a-Week
Tribune free.
