Machine Shops Are Busy.

Just at this time when 80 many
oil companies are operating and &c
many tools are being broken, the
Oil Well Supply oompany's ma

workmen are daily imployed. The
work as usual seems to keep ahead
of the facilities for getting it out

The Home Cooperation COM
pany of Kansas City, Mo, has
brought suit against the Kansas
City Daily Star for $5O0,OO0 dam
ages for the publication of two
articles which the company claims
were malicious.
The first article referred to was
headed Homes on Easy Pay
ments," and was an expose of the
methods of the company by which
the Star claimed the poorer classes
we're being heeced out of their
hard earned wages. The Star
says:
"a man seeking home under
their plans pays an initial fee of

who goes into it is given a number,
and as often as there is $50 clear

Hour for Adjournment.
HOUSE CLOSES SESSION
IN BURST OF SONG
Melodious Voices Ring Through the Hall
Patriotic Airs Hold
Sway.

The scene in the House as the hour
fixed upon for adjournment drew near
was one of interest and some mild ex-
citement. The galleries were thronged
with people and the membership on the
floor was larger than Is usual on days
when routine business is being disposed
of. There was a general feeling of re-
joicing and in the legislation which was
brought up for consideration there was
an inclination to be generous and mag
ranimous
The session began at 10 o'clock. The
chaplain in his invocation prayed that
all the members might return in good
health to resume their duties in De-
cember. At that hour the attendance
was small. but gradually the members
came in and during the course of the
day there were probably two-thirds of
the membership present.
The business of the day was largely
devoted to the consideration Of confer
ence reports and the odds and ends of
legislation. Measures which had been
favoTably reported by various commit
tees and placed on the calendars were
called up and generally passed without
objection. In this way much business
was transacted.
An hour or more before adjournment

On behalf of the cattlemen interested

The Secretary of the Interior has or
dered the taking down Of the fences

order so far as drift fences" are con-

distances Of about twenty-five miles. to
prevent the great herds from wandering
beyond their accustomed grazing
grounds.
Mr.. Rodey's request on behalf of his
constituents will be referred to Secre-
tary Hitchcock, but no official assurance
could be given him that the enforce

delayed. However, on the plea that
hardship would result to the great in

MIR. Allison Sravely informed the Sen

Mr.. Allison laid especial stress On the

that he was repeating the emphasis Of

was wishing to emphasize the fact that
he had already sent in a communication
on the sugar question. But there was
no way to be sure of this.

As the gavel fell and the first session
of the House of Representatives of the
Fifty-seventh Congress was thus brought
to a close. the members or the floor
and the visitors in the galleries broke
forth in loud applause. followed imme
diately by burst of melody which arose
above the tumult and awoke the echoes
as it resounded through the corridors.
Upon leaving the rostrum, Speaker
Henderson was first greeted by members
on the minority side of the chamber.
They crowded about him. shook his hand,
slapped him upon the back and jostled
him about until the scene almost re-
sembled a touchdown in football game.
1t was an ovation. Meanwhile on the
Republican side the songsters TO the
number OF half a hundred had gathered
and were indulging themselves ad libi-
tum with patriotic songs and melodies.
The singing was led by Representa-
tives Tawney. Hamilton, Burk of Penn
sylvania, Kyle of Ohio, and was joined
in by a full chorus of melodious voices.
First they sang America" The strains
of the national air were caught up on
the other side and soon the entire
House Joined in rendering the national
anthem. In the last stanza the galleries
came in TO swell the joyous chorus. This
was followed by THE Star-Spangled
Banner" Hes a Jolly Good Fellow,
"Ole Black Joe.'' and other old-time
melodies Then following the lead CT
Representative Tawney the members on
the Republican side fled down the aisle
TO the place where the Speaker was
holding levee with the Democrats. and
each and every one shook his hand and
exchanged with him some pleasant
words.
Again the singing was renewed. one
popular song after another ringing
through the chamber until in the med

Washburn is in line as one of the
coming towns of North Dakota. Views
of the towns as they appeared a few
years ago and as they appear today
will be convincing proof of the de-
velopment of the Missouri slope coun-
try.
The officials of the Washburn road,
the men who have made this develop
ment of the country possible, are
hard workers, energetic, active, men
of affairs and good Judgment. Gen.
eral Washburn is a national char
scter, a man long in public life. known
for his sound judgment and integrity,
a builder of railroads and developer of
new country. To his first step in
purchasing Missouri slope lands
and putting them on the market, and
then building a railroad further to
velop the country, is due much of the
resent influx of immigration into the
western part of North Dakota. The
pathway he blazed was followed by
ether persons, until now half a dozen
big land companies are working for
the development of the western part
CT the state.
His son, E. c. Washburn, general
manager of the road, is a young mar
Of more than usual aptitude for rail-
, reading. He is the owner of half a
dozen patent Devices, which are his
own inventions. He is energetic,
capable and is at present in Europe,
Interested in a scheme for the brio
quoting of Ignite coal, which if car
ried to %fruition, will result in the in
vestment of thousands of dollars on
the slope and the further development
Of it's interests.
E. H. Walker, traffic manager of the
road, is another hustler in railroad

railroad work, and to his systematic
management of the traffic affairs OF

etc. Seldom in the history of the coun-
try has sc thriving a community been
established in so short a time. The con-
tinual growth of the town affords OPP
portunity for new enterprises, and the
prospects are bright for the continued
growth Of the town.
Washburn, the county seat Of Nc
Lean county, grew to a thriving vii
lage with no railroad, and no line of
transportation, except stages and the
boats plying the waters of the Mis-
souri, river. Notwithstanding the dis
advantages under which it labored its
growth and prosperity were remark
able, and it was long known as the
best town in the state off the line of a
railroad. With the entrance of the
B., w. & G. F. road, the growth OF
Washburn has been steady and not
able. New elevators have been erected
for the storage of grain, new buildings
built, and an entire new settlement
has grown up with the town, which
promises we'll for the future. Dozens
of new mercantile and business enter.

JUST A SAMPLE,

John Gable, who lives seven miles
northeast of Bismarck, is one Of the
many men in this section cf the state
who has made money by diversified
farming. When Mr.. Gable first came
to Burleigh county he rented and made
no progress. He then filed on a home
stead Of his own and has since been
&C ing well. From the first day Oh
January, 1901, to the LIST day Of No.
vember, Mr.. Gable sold 1919. 90 worth
Of butter and eggs besides using all
that a family Of eight could consume.
He also raised good crops this year
and while he did not mention the fig
ures he assured the Tribune that he
had made a nice thing out of his
crops. When he started for himself
eight years ago he had three COWS
and a team of old crowbait horses and
owed for them. Today he owns IS
head Of cattle and IA head of good
horses, a nice home and good sheds,
barns and modern machinery, ard is
Gut of debt. He raises all kinds Of
fruit and vegetables and says that
there is no country on earth that can
show up better strawberries than he
raised last year. He has a number
of bearing apple trees and says that
he can grow anything. Mr.. Cable
has watched farming very closely hcl e
and says that each year he has prof
tied by the experiences Of the year
before. He utilities every pound of
manure, hauling it to his fields twice
a week and spreading over the ground.
FIe finds that this improves the land
and invariably produces a good crop
when those living in his vicinity who
burn their have no crops at
all or very slim ones. MI. Gable is
an example of what any Industrious
maj can do on the Missouri slope. His
post Office address is Bismarck.

NEW OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TOWNS SPRINGING UP.
Remarkable, indeed, has been the
g!cwth OF the towns of Wilton and
Washburn along the line of the Bis
marck, Washburn & Great Falls rail-
way. Two years ago, the present
site of Wilton was almost unbroken
prairie, relieved only by a farm house,
and a small frame building erected by
the road as a lodging place for it's land
agents, and for parties of landseekers
who came t look over the country.
In the brief interval since that time
a thriving and populous little town
Las been built up. Stores, residences
and hotels have sprung up as if by
magic. There are several good sized
general stores, a hotel, newspaper
plant, residences, lodge rooms, and in
fact all of the buildings that go to
make up a little city. There is a
thriving population of several hundred
people, and this is continually increas-
