 6: LA7 IR MADE STATEMENT
Was Not Offering Gratuit0us
 Advice to President.
Had Been Invited by the Latter to Give Views Regarding Per sons Seeking Office in
 North Carolina.

Washington, Dec. u.-(Special. )-"1t was my purpose to make a statement in the Senate regarding the outrageous newspaper story, apparently coming from official authority, to the effect that l was officially interfering with federal appoint ments in the South," Senator Simmons Dem., N. co declared to The Advertiser correspondent tonight.
 At the last moment refrained for the reason that prominent Republican Sena- tor assured me the story as applied to me was without the Presidents authority or knowledge, that 1t reflected neither his views nor the views of Postmaster Gen. eral Payne, and that MT. Payne would write me letter formally disclaiming connection with the story or any inten- tion on his part to reflect upon my atti- tude.
 This Senator, whom I found awaiting me upon my arrival in the Senate cham Der, said he waited upon me at the in- stance of the Postmaster General Ger tainly l accepted his mission in good faith
 
 newspaper story which l meant to do upon the assumption that it was inspired. Since then l have received the promis- ed letter from the Postmaster General may give out copy of 1t hereafter. Tt is enough to say that l have re- ceived a disclaimer of the official char acter of the story as applied to myself. "As to the stories current that the Presi- dent sought my advice as to Southern appointments, they are not true.
 When. as Senator I made my first call upon the President, he courteously informed me that he would be pleased at any tia1e to have my views regarding such persons as might seek appointments in my State.
 This of course took to mean that he would welcome any information l might care to impart concehning the character of such persons. It was not seeking my counsel.'

THE PRECINCT A S

In the supreme court Monday after
noon the judges heard the arguments
in the Bismarck city precinct case.
Judge Corliss argued the case for the
county commissioners, urging, first,
that the court had no original juris-
diction in the matter, and then going
into the merits of the case. showing
that there was no Interior motive in
the rediStricting of the city, but that
it was necessary under the peculiar
conditions existing with regard to the
township lines, dividing the commits
sioner districts. and throwing three
OF the wards i'm the city into two COM
missioner districts. MI. Corliss cited
decisions to show that the courts had
held with the commissioners in cases
of this kind. Attorney Newton ar
gued the case for the other side, elo-
quently combating the points made
by Mr.. Corliss.} The matter was
taken under advisement by the court.

WAsHBURN NOTES.

Leader: A number Of the farmers
of Mclean county arr in position to
hold their grain and are putting it in
the granary. We believe that grain
will be a better price after the rush Of
threshing is over and there is not such
a rush Of grain on the markets. 1t is
a gratifying condition when farmers
get in a position where they can hold
their grain for better markets.
The brick work on the First Ma
tional Bank is now completed. The
carpenters r now putting the finish
ing touches to the first brick building
in Washburn.
States Attorney McCulloch will
have one of the finest homes on the
slope when his new residence is COM
pleted. There is nothing in Bis
marck, even, that will come up to it
in workmanship and material.
The local elevators here are being
rushed during the past week. The
weather could not be better for fall
work. Threshing is being rushed
and will be finished before winter sets
in. Grain is reported as yielding
good, wheat from 20 to %; flax from
II to IS; oats 80 to 65. The fax here
was net injured by the frost as in
some sections of the state. The crop
of potatoes is a large one-both in
size and quantity.

THE THIRD DISTRICT.

EfC BY Lib hEF UbLlCANS Of
THE THIRD DISTRICT.
Persuant to call the republicans of
the third commissioner district as
sembled in delegate convention at
school house No. 1, Ecklund township,
on Monday, Oct. 18th, at p. m. for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
county commissioner and assessor.
August Olston was elected chairman
of the convention and F. R. Simons
secretary. Gust Johnson was unani-
mously nominated for commissioner
and Alfred Ramstrom of Ghylin was
unanimously nominated for assessor.
A district committee composed of
the following was named: Grass

Little; Ghylin, Albin Hedstrom; Eek
Mnd, S. E. Johnson; Painted Woods,
Oliver Peterson; Glenview. F. R. Sim

Peter A. Swanson. Oliver Peterson
was chosen chairman and F. R. Sim
ons, SECRETARY of the committee.
All precincts but one were repre-
scented and the name of no other can
didate was presented for commissioner.
In this connection it may be added
that MI. Johnson was not himself a
candidate and made no effort what
ever for the nomination! 1t came to
him entirely unsolicited, and as such
is a high compliment to an official who
has e~ndeavored to serve his constitu-
ents faithfully and impartially.

1000 teachers Failed to Pass.

Under the law requiring applicants
for teachers certificates to have their ex-
animation papers marked by the state
superintendent instead of the county
superintendent, over 1000 teachers have
failed to pass the required examination
for teaching in the public schools. Supt
Devine was instrumental in getting the
law passed that required the above con-
dition as to examination papers. The
result, it is claimed, has been beneficial
in a marked degree and has been the
means Of wedding many incompetent
teachers, has raised the salaries of dis.
trict school teachers, brought in many
high grade instructors from outside
states and sent prospective teachers to
the normal school for more training. AL
told, the effect has been most beneficial
upon the school system of the state. The
average salary paid female teachers in
the district schools of North Dakota is
S35. 50 a month and male teachers 81:
a month. This is about the best aver
age shown by any state in the union anc
is much higher than ruled before the
law went into effect.

Fort Lincoln.
Memory Of EARLY Days Revived by the
Garrisoning of the New
fort Lincoln.

sVtk ltuuLOths "
Fort Lincoln, near Bismarck, is now
g%arrisoned, and is a real, live mil
itary post. The name Fort Lincoln is
associated with some OF the stirring days
in the military events of the Northwest.
In the early days the expeditions to
the Black Hills and the fatal Custer In
dian expedition started from Fort Lin
coin, which was then one of the noted
forts in the country, and located On the
west of the river, five miles southwest of
Bismarck. The old original fort was To-
Gated on the commanding bluff west of
the river, where a clump of trees may
still be seen from the capital city. At
terward the tort was removed to the low
lands on the banks of the river, where it
remained until it was abandoned in the
latter eighties. The name was revived
when a military post was established
near Bismarck, on the east side of the
river, and the memory of the nations
martyred president will be perpetuated
by a military post that will eventually be
a regimental post, built of brick and
modern in every respect.
The first company to garrison the new
post is company M of the T%wenty-frst
infantry, under the command Of Capt. !.
S. Parks.

A Rain of fish.

jamestown Alert: R. E. Wallace and
son took five barrels OF different kinds of
hsh from the water holes alongside the
road neal the MUTT school last week and
put the young fish in Spiritwood lake.
Several Of the varieties we're sent to the
fish commissioner at Washington, with
an account of the circumstances. 1t is
supposed that the young fish rained
down, as no other means of propagation
are known to have been used. There
are said to be millions Of the fish left in
the little slough. While the superin-
tendent. in charge of the government
fish car, was here last year, he stated
that there was no doubt that young fish,
frogs and lizards were deposited in rain

ing held back until they become fatler,
and many more are ready to come, but
cannot be shipped at present on account
of car famine along the line of the
Northern Pacific railroad from Valley
City, N. D., to Forsythe, Mont, and in
that section Colonel White says are thou
sands of cattle to be shipped later. Col.
White says the Drovers Journal is the
acknowledged authority on range mat
tiers, as we'll as others, and its coming is
eagerly watched for by all cattle men in
that section of the country.
A character on the western range is
quoted as saying:-"Have your cowboys
raise more hay and less hell" This is
exactly what they are doing these days.
The character of the cowboy has
changed greatly with the advance in
civilization, and the necessary changes
which come with it. Irrigation is en-
ployed on every progressive ranch,
where water is available for such pur-
poses, and stockmen find that raising a
little alfalfa to help through the winter
is a great assistance.
The way sheep and lambs are coming
to market shows two things-that avail
able supplies are large and that the ma
jority of western stock are ready earlier
than usual. For the last ten days re-
ceipts have been unusually liberal for
this season of the year. and about as
heavy as came in September and Octo-
Der. Values of sheep are holding up
we'll because of the excellent feeding de-
mand which thus far has been more than
equal to the supply. All parts of the
west have plenty of sheep, and many
predict that receipts this fall will be
larger than last year.-[Drovers Journal

photographic Investigations Of the
Great Plains.

The water resources of the Great
Plains will be the subject of continued
investigation this summer by the United
States Geological Survey. For the las,
two or three wears Nh. N. H. barton, Of
the Survey, has been engaged in tracing
the source of the copious underground
waters which appear in the wells Of
North Dakota and South Dakota. From
careful studies of we'll borings and other
geological phenomena of the region, it
has been discovered that extensive wa
ter bearing strata underlie the whole
plains region and are bent upward and
reach the surface on the eastern TANKS
of the Rocky and Bighorn mountains
and in the Black Hills uplift. These
strata, known as the Dakota sandstones,
are porous rocks, capable of absorbing
much water, and are underlain by more
impervious carboniferous deposits, which
prevent the water in them from sinking
lower. Where the water-bearing rocks
| appear at the surface on the mountain
sides they are crossed by many streams,
some of whose waters are absorbed by
them. These waters follow the rock
down under the plains, and at much low.
er attitudes, in the Dakotas and else.
where, they appear as artesian waters
This season Mr.. barton, assisted by Mr.
C.. A. Fisher, is engaged in continuing
the survey of the water-bearing rocks in
the Black Hills and Bighorn mountains
and in a reconnaissance of the Great
Plains for the preparation of a mar
showing the general geology and the To-
cation of the water-bearing beds OF the
whole region. The map will also indi
cate the distance at which the sandstone:
lie beneath the surface, and the proba,
BILE depths of the wells necessary tt
reach them.
