SOME IMPRESSIONS OF BIS
MARCk.
What Prominent Delegates Said OF
the Growth Of Bismarck.

What Prominent Delegates Said Of
the Growth Of Bismarck.
President Worst of the Agricultural
College-Bismarck did itself proud at
the entertainment of the First State
Irrigation Congress-. did not have
time in the talk | made to speak of
many things l had in my mind notably
the decorations at the Atheneum, the
unrivaled Indian summer weather,
the remarkable growth Of the Mis-
souri, slope and the vast appearance
of the improvement of Bismarck. Bis
marck as the capital of the state Is
indeed a credit to the commonwealth,
and the energy and activity Of her
business men is a credit to the city.
l know of few communities that could
and would have made such prepara-
tons and carried them out so well. l
feel always loyal to and proud of the
slope. 1t was my first home in the
state and / am truly glad that Bis
marck and the slope are coming into
their own.
Major j. S. Murphy of Minot: 1t
is pleasing to note the growth of
Bismarck. see improvements every
where, in the appearance of the CITY.

tenslve system of walks, the new rail.

paid in all told but $6.666.6 S; that l
have had insurance to the amount Of
81, 900 for twenty years; n that l
now receive from the company $685.
81 in cash. l am convinced that that
policy was a most safe n profitable
investment for me; an inves,mei.
That held the same standard of as
surance and profit, unimpaired by the
varying conditions of bushes during
the last twenty years; and my only
regret at this time is that the policy
was not larger. Very truly yours,
Geo. p. Flannery.

In order that the executive heads of
the new and permanent irrigation
congress of North Dakota may be pro-
vided with sufficient funds to publish
and circulate the proceedings Of the
first irrigation congress at Bismarck
and perform such other work as may
be thought best for the cause, the
executive committee was authorized
to urge each county in the state
through its board of commissioners,
to appropriate a small sum for its use.
Members Of the county boards pres
ent at this meeting unhesitatingly
gave assurance of hearty cooperation
and the delegates from Ward county
started the ball rolling by assuring
$50 for this fund.

WHY TWIN CITIES ARE INTER
ES1EO.

North Dakota may look for the as
sistance Of the twin city commercial
interests in its %endeavors to obtain
the benefits of the North Dakota ir-
rigation fund. 1t is clearly shown that
the irrigation of part of western North
Dakota and other states which trade
largely with the twin cities will be of
vast advantage to st. Paul and Mime
apolis, and for that reason they will
second the efforts of the North Dakota
Congress. Along this line the Pho
neer says:
The two articles in the Pioneer
Press by Prof. Thomas Shaw. one
published yesterday on Irrigation
and Live Stock" on the other today
on "Irrigating the Milk River Valley"
will serve to bring closely home to
Minnesota readers the great indirect
benefits which Minnesota will secure
from the carrying out of the grand
schemes for irrigating the arid lands
of the west which have been set on
foot in the bill which has already
passed congress. Irrigation will add
immensely to the productiveness and
to the stock-feeding capacity of the
plains and valleys of Western Dakota
and Montana ~traversed by the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern Rail
coads. But of all these fields for irri-
cation, according to Prof. Show, none
is so promising as the Milk River val
ley in Northern Montana, through
which runs the Great Northern rail-
road. This valley. from one to three
miles wide and three hundred miles
long, is a level plain stored with the
elements of i~nexhaustible fertility and
it is stated that 1000, 900 acres of as
rich soil as there is in the world al
be easily irrigated from the waters of
the Milk river and made to yield
immense crops of wheat, oats. hay,
alfalfa and all the products Of the
northern belt of the temperate one.
1t will support immense herds Of cat
tie and fiocks of sheep. Irrigation will
convert it from a comparative soil
tude into a populous community
teeming with riches. In all the arid
region there is no other of such large
extent so Immediately tributary to
St. Paul and Minneapolis. Along the
Northern Pacific. there are extensive
districts of arid or semi-arid lands OF
great fertility, including many of the
cattle ranges. Of which, as Prof. Shaw
explained in his first article. the pro-
ductiveness can be increased many
fold by irrigation. The population
will be increased in proportion to the
reclaimed area. Irrigation will add
millions of fertile acres, occupied by
prosperous communities, to the agri.
cultural territory tributary to Mime
sofa cities"

Pending the meeting the the next
legislature the state emergency board
has made arrangements to take care
of the most urgent claims growing
out Of the buildings already begun at
Valley City and Devils Lake under
the acts of the last legislature in order
to protect the states property. 1t is
understood that some state bonds will
shortly be retired and that the
crowded condition of the asylum al

the providing Of additional quarters.

an extra session of the legislature,
and the state will have saved the cost
Of such a session which may have
been considerable.

A resolution of thanks was given
to the presiding officer OF the irriga-

marck for the hearty welcome and
unstinted measure Of hospitality of
her citizens on this occasion, and 1t
was a deserving tribute, for Bismarck
certainly did herself proud.

vIcE-PREsIpENT's ROOM.
One of the Hand=omest in Washington.
 It's Historic Furniture.

From the National Magazine.
 To me this vice-presidents room, just across the inside corridor from the senate chameber, is one of the most interesting in the capitol. In one corner is a bust of La fayette s. Foster of Connecticut, who was president pro tempore of the senate during the Johnson impeachment trial and who would have succeeded to the presidency had Johnson not escaped impeachment by so narrow a margin and the loss of his high station. Alas, such is fame in public lifel How many today remember Senator Foster? These events took place before the law regulating the presidential suc- cession was changed, so that the line now runs down through the cabinet, following the vlce-president regularly elected by the people.
 The $200 silver ink well on the table is a work of art. symbolic of a reunited north and south, a silver eagle surmounting the whole, breathing defiance. This Is alto- gether the most handsomely furnished room in the capitol The portrait of Washington in this room-painted by Peale in 1925 (Peale had known Washing ton and painted this portrait from memory mainly)-was exhibited In Europe in 1893 and then purchased by a member of the staff of General Wilson Peale, a son of the famous artist.
 It was in this room that vice-President Henry Wilson died during Grants admin istration. The mirror over the lock was the occasion of three days debate in the senate because some members thought ce-President John Adams had been grossly extravagant fin paying $40 for the mirror ito gratify his personal vanity"
 The mirror surmounts a 5000 clock, whose beautiful chimes sound the quar- ter hours and which displays also the signs of the zodiac. This clock has not once been stopped in the whole half cen- tury that 1t has licked away, while vice. presidents came and went Directly op- posite Is another mirror which cost $500, in which the forty dollar extravaganza of John Adams is continuously reflected. Surmounting the portrait of Washington is flag made of the first silk woven on American soil. during the early days of the mulberry craze. and presented to the government by ladies of Philadelphia
 It Is here that Senator Frye comes for a few moments of relaxation when the senate has adjourned, takes up book and black cigar for a breathing spell and we may suspect, spends few moments in reverie concerning the good fishing streams away up in Maine.

Old Sugar Houses of Louisiana -F~


search was therefore made for the hoard but 1t was not found, save, perhaps by some one who found it, but kept the find a secret.
 Yet another strange story is told about the Pecan Grove sugar house. This story is told by negroes who assert that the building has been haunted ever since 1t was abandoned. Some negroes say that they have seen wonderful ghosts about the old sugar house. One night three negroes ran into the ruins to catch a 'possum, which they had seen scramb- ling over the moonlight ground-so their story goes-and they there heard a ghost walk tip. tip, tip up a great stairway that led to the second story. They af- terward saw, they said. a white spectral form walk noiselessly into the building. Since that night no negroes have been
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-07-26

known to wander in the vicinity of the ruins of this sugar house at night.
 Perhaps the oldest of sugar house ruins in St. Charles parish are the ruins of that built on the Davis plantation. The ruins are composed of a small portion of a wall and an artificial hill A few stunted china trees are near the piece of wall, and an old and lonely goat seeks shelter under these trees when the sun Is too warm.
 As the ruins of this old .miil have van- ished until only small heep of bricks Is left, so will all the remaining ruins of ante bellum sugar houses soon pass away; and it is evident that in few years the peculiar type of these mills will be almost entirely forgotten. These structures belong to an age whose like shall never be seen again.
