Major Hamilton is furnishing some
interesting gossip from Washington
for the Grand Forks Review.
WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, Jan. 4-Representative
T. F. Marshall has been busy during
the holiday season looking after the
postal affairs of North Dakota. There
are several vacancies in presidential
Offices in the state for which Mr.. Mar
shall will soon name postmasters. He
has recommended the appointment of
Frederic Johnson for postmaster at
Leeds, and it is understood he will soon
recommend Gilbert Helgeland for post
master at Towner. Another matter
which is engaging the attention of Mr..
Marshall is in relation to the establish
ment of a railway mail service between
Jamestown and Leeds on the James
town and Northern road. The dis
lance between the points named is
more than 100 miles, and mail is sup
piled the Offices along that road by
pouch and star route service. Mr..
Marshall has recommended the estab-
lishment of a railway mail service be-
tween Jamestown and Leeds, with the
appointment of a clerk to distribute
mail on the proposed route. He is
hopeful that affirmative action will
soon be taken. .
Little interest is manifested in North
Dakota in the rural free delivery SER
vice. Orders have just been issued in
pursuance of the plans perfected dur
ing Mr.. Spalding's term for the estab-
lishment of the service at several
points in the state on Feb. 1 and March
1. Mr.. Marshall is endeavoring to
arouse interest in rural free delivery
by addressing letters to persons in the
state, calling attention to the merits
of the service. He desires to have
filed a sufficient number of applications
for the service as will justify the de-
partment in sending a special agent to
North Dakota in the spring.
A bill providing for the ratification
of the treaty with the Indians at Fort
Totten, N. D., will be presented next
week by Representative Marshall. This
treaty was negotiated with the Indians
some time ago. Before it becomes eff
fective it must be ratified by congress.
1t provides for the cession to the gov
eminent of a large tract Of Indian
lands in North Dakota, which it is pro-
posed to open for settlement. The
Indians will be paid $4,000 for the
land.
Rural free delivery will be estab-
lished at Mapleton, Blue Earth county,
Mimi. on Feb. 1. The service will
cover an area of 104 square miles with
a population Of 2,O27. Adam Lortz, F.
M. Fish, A. W. Krengle and R. c.
Taylor have been appointed carriers.

An innocent Author.

Some new authors arrive with such
a hilarious confidence, such a blithe in
nocence, that it is always interesting
to hear about them. One has just sent
to a well known London publisher a
letter something like this:
II am told that it is usual on the eve
Of the appearance Of a book to enter
tain all the London reviewers to a din
ner. Will you kindly tell me what this
would cost, where the dinner should be
held and who, in your opinion. should
be invited? OF course the thing ought
to be done handsomely"
1t is amusing and true. - London

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT

The jamestown Alert takes this view
of the railroad consultations:
what the people of this state really
care about in the matter of railroads
is the question of transportation rates.
At present, as in the past. there is no
competition in rates. But if the OPP
position to the Northern Securities
company's projects succeeds is there
any prospect that the rates will be any
less on that account? On the other
hand President HiI has publicly prom
Used that the rates will be reduced, and
his word in such cases is not usually
lightly given.
The people of this state are not Wit
ally interested in which particular line
hauls the freight or passengers, so
long as the charges for doing SO are
reasonable and fair. What is needed
that will allow us who Live here to get
the full benefit of our nearest and best
markets; that will encourage capital
to enter the state and build mills to
grind our own wheat into -four; that
will make inducements for men to
build fax mills, creameries, cheese fac
tories; do mining, ship poultry, and
encourage above all things the grow
ing Of stock and the greatest s of III
natural pastures These things are
more important to us than which set
of eastern stockholders get the divi-
dends on railway securities. Besides
North Dakota is tired of being an APP
pendix to the state Of Minnesota, with
her extortionate grain grading system.
1.-THE Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads have already done a
great deal Of this development work.
They could have done more, it is true,
but that is all past, and the promise is
now that the time has arrived when
more settlement and development will
be undertaken. 1t is folly to think
that these roads will kill the goose
that lays the golden egg. 1855
IF the other railway companies do
ing business in this state or on the
borders of the state-which companies
certain newspapers say are opposing
the consolidation of other railway COM
panies-do not relish the prospect, let
them come over into the promised land
themselves. It is cheap to build rail-
roads in North Dakota and they all
are made to pay well on the money in
vested. Let them build branch lines
as the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific are doing, and have done;
let them secure new settlers, go after
business where it is and create more.
LIE them reduce rates, and the people
Will welcome them as they deserve.
1t Will not help the people of this state
to have the railway companies merely
air their grievances, in the courts, kick
up a lot OF dust, and do nothing to
further develop our great resources,
or aid in the settlement of the state.
While the Burlington company does
not touch this state the Northern Pa
cl1c and Great Northern penetrate
nearly every settled part of it and pio-
neer the way to the settled portions.
The 500 is also aiding in the settle
ment and extending its lines and doing
ITS share of the work. To these roads
instead of others that have no local
interests here at present must the peo-
PIE look for assistance in the growth
4 the state, which growth is as i'm
portant to the roads as it is to the
people"

in doing so, attacks number OF

myself for the nomination OF
John w. Owen for Sheriff on the

IS GOING TO CALIFORNIA.

The Ell Paso Daily News OBJ
tanned the following interview
from Jerry Hockradle as he pass
ed through Ell Paso Ell route to
California:
GERRY Hockradle, one OF the
oldest residents of New Mexico
passed through this city today en-
route from his home at White
Oaks, in Lincoln county. to San
Diego. Though about 10 odd
years of age, he is hale and hear
ty and a typical prospector, IN
appearance. He said to a News
reporter today:
"Yes, guess am the Oldest resi-
dent of New Mexico, for | went
there in '68 when there was moth
iny in that section but mountains

there were plenty of the latter.

wagon train away back in '66
when l was coming east to New
Mexico. The place is off the
Mohave desert and when | passed

Then the water holes were 65, II
and IS miles apart as you came
to them in crossing the desert to

tain seasons when you could cross
at all or get water, because the
wild beasts would drink it before
you would reach there. 1t was
on this spot that we had bloody
battle with $50 Indians, Plutes.
The Indians had stolen some OF
the horses which belonged to the
Mormons l was travelling with,
when the men of the party tried
to recover them they took position
on a rocky knoll and fired several
volleys into the camp, Our party
then made detour and got be

cleared away we found 19 red
skins whom we buried the mex
morning. 1twas narrow escape
for us for there were only abOu
six good guns among us. While w

nOtn1nS VI tHclI past PolAehNoi
history, and l suppose if they
choose to act with the democratic
party that we will allow them to
do so. However, if they are as
thin skinned politically as the
editor of the Republican, so soon
as they find that the money and
most of the offices are on the re-
publican side, some of them at
least may "Jin" and be whoop-
ing things up for the opposition
two years hence. So the editor
of that sheet ought to be patient
with them It'll he learns what
sort of democrats they are. 1t
is only two or threee months
since the editor of the Republl-
can said in his paper, ''1f we
must have a democratic sheriff let
it be John Owen" Now, after
he has been "Seen", or had Wis
ion, or nightmare, as the case
may be, he turns loose his mud
singer at every one who had any
thing to do with Owens nomi-
nation.
He also charges myself and
others with circulating the re-
port that r. d. Armstrong is an
infdel. So far as this charge
relates to myself, it is false; and
will further say that Mr.. Arm
: strong is a gentleman and in my
= opinion, needs no defense from
: Lightfoot or his paper. / care
: nothing about his religious
r opinions. He has right to any
: opinion he may entertain upon
t religion as we'll as politics. This

It Owen might be useful to me in
Ie the defense of criminals by fixing

open and honorable. supported
Owen because l thought him
suitable man for the Office and
because l thought he could and
would be elected; and for what l
did in his support, | have no
apology to offer.
The fact that the opposition
resort to such unjust and dishon-
orable methods to defeat him,
proves that Ovens friends knew
what they were doing when they
caused his nomination. If the
editor of the Republican and
those who are paying him to
write such stuff as filled the col
umns of that paper last week,
did not realize that the prospect
of defeating Owen was hopeless,
or nearly so, why would they in
dulge in such methods of cam
paigning? They cannot beat
him by honorable methods, and
SO they attack his friends by in
situations of corrupt methods IN
securing his nomination, as
though the Nogal Republican was
the guardian of the interests Of
the democratic party. Every de-
mocrat who attended the primary
convention at White Oaks, will
say that every thing was abso'
lutely fair; and all who attended
the county convention, will say
the same. Owen was the strong
est candidate and won the noml
nation as fairly as ever noml

PUBLICITY for the trusts is the first
step on the Presidents programme for
their regulation. The President, like
all the Republicans, is aroused on this
trust question. and is anxious that the
combines which are harmful shall be
curbed. OF course, all trusts are net of
this order Many of them are. how
ever, and these are the ones which the
Republicans are preparing to assail.
The Democrats find no aid and COM
fort in the trust issue this year. The
Republicans are ahead of them in the
attack on the trusts, and the Republi-
cans not only have the power to make
their promises good but they have
the ability and the honesty, both of
