Alliance is in the city and "Cush''
and all the rest Of the newspaper push
have resolved to see that no mistakes
regarding the cold Man's'' circula-
tions are made in the press as was
the case two years ago.
Tony Haas, for many years a resi-
dent Of Jamestown, but now a
resident of Anamoose, where he is
engaged in the machinery business, is
in Bismarck. Mr.. Haas who was a
leading democrat in Jamestown, since
leaving there ''has seen the error Of
his ways as he puts it, and now
holds republican policies good enough
for him.
Colonel Peake and other officers Of
the North Dakota National Guard
are here to attend the meeting being
held here today. Colonel Peake is in
favor of good-sized appropriation for
the state normal school at Valley
City. He is president of the board Of
trustees Of that institution and says
the increased attendance at the school
makes it necessary to secure more
room and an addition will be ne
cessary.
Chairmanships in the senate have
been pretty equitably distributed by
the president. Senator LaMOure gets
his old position as chairman of the
appropriations committee and in ad-
dition becomes chairman of the COM
mittee on temperance. Senator Little
has the craftsmanship Of the Judiciary.
Lewis of railroads, Cox of state affairs
and the other positions are distribut-
ed to give the fairest representation
on committees possible.
Phillip Blank, representative from
New Salem, states that there are
now five creameries in the vicinity Of
New Salem and another will be built
not far from that city in a short
time. The creameries have all paid
and the farmers have prOspered since
the same were opened. Before the
creameries were started the farmers
were very hard up in case their crops
failed, but now they are making
money out of their cows and the crops
are a secondary consideration with
nearly all of them. The farmers
would not think of abandoning the
creameries.
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 1.-THE
legislature reconvened this afternoon
as per adjournment taken week ago.
Not nearly all the members were
present and adjournment was taken
to Monday, after brief session. The
recess has given the members an op-
portunity to visit their constituents
and confer with them in regard to
needed legislation and a great many
bills will be introduced next week, it
is expected. There seems to be many
additional laws needed to make
things right and many old laws on
the statute books are unsatisfactory
and changes will be made.
The talk of resubmission is not so
very strong as one might be led to
believe by the reports that have been
current. Those in favor Of the meas
ure claim only about one-third of the
members of the house and senate at
present and do not take very rosy
view of the situation. The proposed
bill abolishing drugstore permits is
causing more discussion than the pos
sibility of resubmission measure
being favorably considered. Many
members believe that large number
of owners of drugstores have violated
thier privileges and have defeated the
intents and purposes of the prohibi
tory law. Some are opposing any
radical change in the law governing
the druggists permits on the ground
that if the permit law is repealed
there is likely to be sentiment in
favor Of resubmission created in dis
tricts where the immediate wants of
