Gets the First Bill Through.

Tribune: Senate bill No. IL, by Mr.
Simpson, which has passed the assembly
and gone to the governor, is the first one
this session tt reach the executive. The
bill relates to Legislative employees and
their compensation. 1t does not increase
the force usually employed and neces-
sary for the proper expedition of the
clerical work, but merely corrects an
oversight in the revision of the revised
codes of 1909, by putting the senate in
that respect on a par with the house. No
employe can be selected in either branch
without the votes of the members so de-
eide, and as economy will be the watch.

biographical sketches of the legislators
and state officers, four of which are re-
produced below.
Leslie A. Simpson, Dickinson, Stark
county, (Thirty-6rst district) was born at
Deer Isle, Hancock county, Maine,
thirty-two years ago. He is married;
came to North Dakota from Minneapolis
in 1880 and is a lawyer-admitted in 1880
at Minneapolis; was a member of the

the Spanish-American war; elected to
the present state senate as a republican.
William A. Mcclure is a bright repre-
sentative from the T~hirty-frst district,
postofice, Taylor, Stark county. He was
born at Wingate, Ind, ~torty-two years
ago. Is married and has two children.
He came to North Dakota from Allegan,
Michigan, in 1885, and is engaged in the
general mercantile business. He has
served six years, from 1904 to 1900, as
county commissioner of the Third dis
trict, Stark county, and is known as one
of the most active citizens of the Mis-
souri, slope. He was elected as a repub-
lican, receiving over 900 majority.
R. J. Turner, commissioner of agri-
culture and labor, was born in the county
of Fond du Lac, Wis, in 1850, and re-
sided there thirty-two years. He located
at Gladstone, Stark county, 100 miles

DICKINSON needs a new depot
and if the business men of the city
will take the matter up with the
Northern Pacific officials at St.
Paul it is not unreasonable to be-
lieve that the company might be
induced to erect during the pres
ent year a structure commensurate
with the needs-present and pros
pectlve-of the city. There is no
city in the two thousand list in the
Northwest that can make as favor
able a showing in earnings to the
company as Dickinson. Our ship.
ping receipts are enormous. Take
our live stock business of the past
year. The records show that $3.50
carloads of cattle were sent to
market from here, 70 cars of
horses, and ia cars of sheep. Our
wool shipments amounted to a
million pounds last year, and in
an ordinary crop year the grain
shipments of the place would run
between 100000 and 100000 BUSH
els. Then, too, the amount of
live stock and goods that are
shipped in during a year would
surprise a person. The fact of
the case is, Dickinson is the dis
tributing point for a vast country
north and south, as we'll as east
and west, and always will be, and
the railroad business is very large
and is increasing rapidly. The
present N. P. depot is an old wood
building, poorly arranged, made
quate for the business, and an eye
sore to the city. If, however, the
people take no united action the
chances are that the company will
not bother itself about the Dick
inson depot for two or three years
vet.

some ships Are UnIuclsy.
from the London Chronicle.


"Unlucky ships" in our navy have a
most unpleasant way of acting up to their
regulations. Any bluejacket will tell you
that the most unlucky ship in the navy is
the Thunderer-he is firmly convinced
that in the event of war she will come
to grief. The origin Of this ships repu-
tation is not exactly known, though a
story exists to the effect that a workman
was injured or killed during her construc-
ton and his dependents scurvily treated
by the admiralty of the period. Ills wife,
dying in childbirth shortly afterward
cursed the ship. SO goes the legend;
possibly enough, like many another le-
gend, it was made later on to fit events.
No doubt whatever attaches to the Thun-
derer's i'll luck-a fearful boiler explosion
and a terrible gun disaster marked her
earlier yeans. Minor disasters have been
many. Most things that could so wrong
with her did so, and, though it was re-
Gently stated that she had outlived her
bad luck, almost Immediately afterward
all her guns went wrong-a matter under
inquiry at the present moment. She is
being put out of commission and replaced
by the Hood. and it is extremely doubt
full whether she will be employed again,
save as a harbor ship-men do not like
her.
Another unlucky ship is the Howe. She
went ashore and sank al FerrOl. Suisse
quently she was raised and relocated, but
her bad luck clings to her. she is the
worst ship of her batch to manage. By
bluejacket superstitution she is doomed
to sink some consort or be sunk by her
one of these days.
Then there was the Inflated Victoria A
horrible story absolutely without founda-
tiom about a man who was accidentally
fastened down to die in her used to be re-
lated in the early sos. She met with
disasters, eliminating in the terrible ca
tastrophe that bears her name. The sad
dest of all incidents in connection with
this catastrophe has never been made
public. When the order was given for
each man to jump a batch of marines
were not ordered to fail out. All or
nearly all of those men were drowned
standing at attention. However. this In
cident does not concern the luck of ships.
The list of unlucky ships could be eX-
tended considerably, but the above typi
cal cases viii suffice. In fact, of them

istration was ushered in with a splendid
ball at Davis Hotel. His second iuau-
guration day was very inclement, and the
ball given that evening, at Browns Ho-
tel, was less brilliant than the first.
John Quincy Adams ball was held at
CarusPs, which occupied the southeast
corner of Eleventh street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. So were Van Buren's and
Folks, and Jackson's first inaugural The
second jackson ball was held in Central

two other dancing assemblages. One
known as the Peoples Tippecanoe In

and the other the Native American In
auguration Ban" was held in Masonic
Hall. There was also an opposition ball
at the incoming Of President Polk.
The first inaugural ball held IN Judiciary

President Taylor. For this a temporary
wooden building was erected IN tho rear
OF the Court House. with which Il was
connected BY covered passages. The dec

was furnished by celebrated Austrian

The suite of rooms known as the pri-
waite Office of the Commissioner OF PEN
sIons is always set apart Tor the pres
idential party. On such occasions these
rooms are entirely Invested OF their OFF,
cial paraphernalia and refurnished vita
fitting elegance. The flowers used for
decorating them include many rare ard
costly varieties OF orchids and roses. 1t
is customary for the President and his
party to arrive about 10 O'Clock. After
a brief greeting to the few old and new
friends permitted 70 enter these rooms :,
the President and his wife, attended
by their party, pass down the entire
length OF the ballroom, the vast con-
course of people being massed, some
times twenty deep, on either side OF
the room, the whole three hundred
feet Of it's length. At Benjamin Harri-
sons ball, fully 1900 persons were so
congregated. Supper for 6.00O to 1000 is
usually provided, and the President and
his party are always the first to partake
of it. They are served in rooms set apart
for the purpose, and Immediately after
ward depart for the White House.
For those who remain the festivities
have only begun. Dancing is always an
impossibility until after midnight. De-
spite the vast throng Of humanity crowd
ed into a space much too small for it,
there is rarely any accident. ill-feeling or
disorder. Every contingency is provided
for by the admirable management of the
Executive Committee and its sub-commit-
tees. Even hospital, with a doctor, and
one or two nurses and cots. is provided,
with a view to caring for the sudden
Illnesses which are liable to occur in a
crush. The unfailing good humor char
acteristic of Washington crowds makes
light of the little mishaps and annoy
ances incident to such a crush and even
bears with becoming fortitude the pangs
of hunger, for no means has yet been
devised whereby that vast crowd can be
adequately fed in a reasonable time, and
many must go home hungry from the
hospitality of the greatest nation on
earth.
