Judge Williams, who has been nam
ed by the republicans for mayor of
Portland, Oregon, has had a distin-
guished and lengthy public career.
He was born in New York state and is
now 10 years old. The Seattle P-I.
speaks Of him as a remarkable man.
There are few survivors of his day
yet before the public. He was a judge
in Iowa fifty-five years ago, before
the republican party came into exist
ence. He was n of the presidential
electors whose votes made Pierce pres
ident of the United States, in 1852. He
was chief justice of Oregon in 1858,
when Oregon was further out of the
world than are the remotest mining
camps in Alaska at the present time,
and when that territory had a smaller
population than can now be found in
the northern territory. He assisted in
framing the constitution Of Oregon
forty-four years ago. He was a United
States senator when President Roose.

ment at the hands of one of II U. 5.
senators and without protest or OPP
position from the other U. S. s., aud
still retain his independence in its
simon purity, he will have accom-
plished that which has never been
even attempted by another. The
whole state will await in breathl'ss
suspense this wonderful achievement.
This spontaneous bestowal Of favors
on the one hand, and the naive &C
ceptance as a just due, on the other,
will mark a new era in North Dakota
politics, and may be a part of the slor-
ious reform that we have rea1 about.

shaking the tree and are allowing tina

sans promises, then the millennium has
indeed arrived-somewhat abruptly
and prematurely, perhaps, but It is

The county superintendent OF the
state of North Dakota will meet at
Bismarck April 90 and 30, a circular

interest to the educational work il the
state. Among the special features will

excursion to Wilton and Washburn on

NEW SETTLERS in THE FLOOD
THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS TO
THE STATE FIND THE HIGH
WATER TROUBLESOME,

= - AA4S '. s.".
The people who are suffering the
greatest Inconvenience from the
floods are the new settlers who came
into the state in order to be on hand
in time for spring work, as they are
without the means to make themselves
comfortable during the freshet.
The portion of the state into which
the greatest number of new settlers
has gone is that district near the
boundary in the big bend OF the Mouse
river. Many hundred people have gone
there this spring, and they are being
greatly Inconvenience by the high
water. Every stream there has over
flowed its banks, and lands usually
dry are now vast lakes. In the town
of Souris the water is running in a
stream through the streets, and it is
almost impossible to cross from one
side to the other.
Trainloads of settlers are there
waiting for an opportunity to get onto
their claims, and many have already
gone there only to find that their pos
sessions are pretty much under water.
This condition can last for but a few
days, and is not likely to be repeated,
as with settlement will come the con-
struction of roads and bitches, and the
water will be carried off quickly.
The greatest difficulty is that Of Sc
curing feed for the stock which the
new settlers have brought with them.
Few of the newcomers brought more
than enough feed for a very short
time, and this was principally grain.
There wa very little hay brought as
they could be brought cheaply without
shipping it so far.
The floods have made the roads i'm
passable, and it is impossible to haul
hay or anything else. The conditions
on the railroads ON the new branch
lines are such that it is out of the
question to run freight trains, and it
is only with the greatest difficulty that
occasional passengers trains can be
run.
This being the case the horses and
cattle of the settlers are put on the
shortest possible rations, and this will
be done until the transportation con.
ditions are better.

made by Messrs. Standring,
Hutchinson and Satterlund in ST. Paul
recently. and the land will be put on
the market at once. MI. Standing

purchase was made and found it excel

There is an excellent opportunity for
settlers in this vicinity as little of the
government land has been taken. AL

pany here are well known, and re,

STILL HOPING.

Word comes from Washington that
Major Edwards is still hoping.
The commissionership of pensions
and the first assistant potmaster gen.
eralship appear to be out of the majors
reach, but he is hoping nevertheless.
President Roosevelt gives him the
assurance that as soon as a place can
be found the major shall have it.
Ye weary and heavy laden, who
would give up the struggle of life and
sink down into the dust and ash Of
gloom and despond, arise and take
courage from the example. of the vet
eran editor from Fargo.
Hope! What a blissful food to feed
upon. 1t fills the mouth of the hun
gry with food, and clothes the beggar
in silk and purple. It rewards the
genius with the acclaim and laurel he
has struggled so long to win, and
mounts with the pauper to the glory Of
the millionaire. 1t is the glory Of liv-
ing and it robs death of its sting.
Hope! 1t is the nourishment that
dreams feed upon. It builds castles
beautiful on the barren rocks and
wastes. 1t illuminates and irradiates
the gloom of %despond, and paints rain
bows on the clouds. 1t dips it's finger
in the illusion of dreams and paints
vivid %canvases, rare with rich color
and beauty, upon the easel of the i'm
agination. 1t streaks the sky with the
glory of the sunrise, and rides upon the
storms of life like a ministering angel,
to succor the distressed and lull the
weary to pleasant dreams.
Hope! Life without it would be
wreck and ruin, and the world be bath
ed in ashes and resound with the wall
of the disappointed and discouraged
1t gifts the leaden feet with wings
to rise triumphant from the earth. 1t
is the succor Of the worn and weary,
+he inspiration of genius, the illumina-
ton of the darknesses into which We
plunge, and from which it alone can
urge us on to nobler and higher eff.
forts and final success.
Major Edwards is still hoping!
