PAGES NEARLY STRUCK

RlghteousIy Indignant over 5o.Cent Cut
49,: In Wages.
Should the placid and digni1ed senators
ever learn how near they were to having
a serious commotion in their midst they
are likely to lose their self compcsure for
q time. When they reduced the daily
wage Of the pages from 50 to $3.50 they
uncovered a seething volcano which was
none the less dangerous because it burst
forth in the cloak room instead of right
under the senator's noses. Had they
known how near they were to the edge of
the crater they would doubtless have
paused In alarm and reconsidered their
needless course. go =. 80
The time-honored per diem stipend for
pages is SO, and this was also the amount
fixed for. the present session, but some
one insisted on getting another boy in
and to keep within the appropriation it
was necessary to cut.
The lads were furious, Just as furious as
13-year- old Americans in knickerbockers
can ever be-. They had an indignant ton
meeting and every one was found to be
a union man. They threatened to strike
and demanded arbitration, also other
things. They had a most terrific time un-
til Tom Downs, the urbane sergeant at
arms, came around with a pail full of
barney.
The boys were made to realize that
even $3.50 was a pretty good thing for
a boy who would have hard work earning
SO cents and Gained down.
The proposed strike was peacefully set
tied and the senators will never know Of
the critical situation which they almost
faced, unless they read these lines.

Important Committees Composed AImos,
Wholly of Babcock Supporters.


House members who supported Law
renee H. johnson in the speakership fight
are not making much complaint over the
committee assignments Of Speaker Bah
cock but are disposed to take their medi-
cine. Some few of them got all they
could expect under the circumstances, but
on the whole the johnson men get very
little representation on the. important
committees. For instance, on the impor-
tant appropriations committee, which
passes on every proposition calling for the
expenditure of money, there is not a sin
gle johnson supporter. There are fifteen
republicans, all of whom supported Bah
cock. and two democrats. There are
| twelve Babcock men and only two J ohnson
men on the general legislation committee.
Then the fifteen republicans on the rail-
road committee were all in the Babcock
column, and fifteen of the sixteen repubH-
cans on taxes and tax laws were Babcock
men. Gillette is the only Johnson man on

Two important Minneapolis bills made
their appearance In the senate this morn

Several eyes opened wide when the new
state capitol bill was read. It lifted the
limit Of cost from 50. 100000 to $4,000. 900
and caused many a frown among the
country members. There will be some
warm debates when the senate gets a
chance at the bill.
To Encourage Ignite
Senator l.. 0. Thorpe of Willmar started
an inquiry this morning which may have
far reaching effect on the three trans
continental lines penetrating the coal
fields of North Dakota. Mr.. Thorpe In
troduced a resolution in the senate direct
ing the committee on railroads to ascer-
tain and report the present freight IA ties
on Ignite, and If these were found excess
siye to recommend some action.
Mr.. Thorpe was prompted to introduce
this measure by the present scarcity of
fuel and the high prices which compelled
consumers to look for new sources of sup
ply. The Ignite fields of North Dakota
were near at hand and for certain pur-
poses Ignite could be used to advantage
if secured at a reasonable price. Mr..

fiat, and the winds sweep uninterrupted
for miles, the landscape is fairly dotted
with them. They are all sizes and
kinds, some tall and graceful others
placed low and resembling huge paddle
wheels with the lower half housed and
the upper half catching the wind? A
number of the larger ones grind corn
or do other similar work, but the ma
jority are engaged In pumping up
water, for the needs of the stock and
the irrigation of the land, from the ex-
haustless supply below rne ground. OF
course each pump can bring up but a
small amount of water at a stroke, but
it is astonishing to see how much this
little aggregates in the course of year.
An estimate has recently been made of
the capacity of wind mill running ten
hours a day for six months from an in
teresting report on Windmills and their
use, issued this year by the United
State geological survey, which is
studying the great plains to make
available these rich underground water
resources. 1t was found that an aver
age wheel, twelve feet in diameter, with
the wind blowing sixteen miles an
hour, is capable of pumping 1920 gall
Ions an hour, 19,20O in a day of ten
hours, $4,000 each month, and SASS, 900
gallons in six months This is the work
of hundreds and thousands of others,
and realize the vast amount of water
brought into use by this means.
1t is difficult to appreciate the sig
nificance of this work and the value of
the windmill as a factor in the devel-
opment of the country. 1t means in
the first place an abundance of water
for stock and irrigating purposes, and
water always means great increase in
the productiveness of the land This
is followed by an increase in values
and the possibilities of larger popula-
ton; bigger crops and better prices. and
more business and increased earnings
for the transportation lines This is
what the windmills are helping to do
in America.

What Government is Doing for Rivers

What Government is DoiHg for Rivers
1t is not generally known that the
government, through the United States
geological survey, has been making
careful study of the rivers and the
underground water supply of the coun-
try. So important has this work be-
come, and SO helpful to many widely
diversified interests, that a special
branch, known as the division of. hy-
biography has been organized to con-
duct it. This division has been in ex-
istence since 1888, and is pushing it's
investigations as rapidly as the appro-
priations will admit. Broadly speaking
it's work consists of a careful inspec-
zion of the habits and behavior of riv-
ers, /. e. the variation of the amount of
their flow throughout the year and
from year to year. This entails a study
of their drainage basins and an accu-
rate measurement of their discharge.
The knowledge thus obtained is the
necessary foundation on which all en-
terprises contemplating the use of
rivers must depend, In the east many
rivers valuable as a source of water
supply are under examination. In the
west for these purposes also and for
irrigation they are being measured.
The very important matter of river
pollution is one which demands the
same initial Investigations, and the
government IS rendering its assistance
to check and avert this growing evil.
Out on the great plains. where the riV-
ers are few and the rainfall is light,
the underground well waters, so nee
eSsary to the inhabitants. are mapped
and thus made available
A number of states in different parts
of the country have seen the Yaluo of
this work and have made appropria-
lions TO have it continued within their
own borders more rapidly and fully
than the government alone could afford
to conduct it. The country's water re-
sources, which are among the greatest
it possesses are practically ineXhaus-
tible and have hut just begun to be de-
veloped.-Geo. h. Hollister, L. s. Hy-
drographer.
