If a man orders kerosene, if the
merchant by mistake sends him gaso-
line, and If the man, thinking he has
received kerosene goes and throws
some into the stove to brighten the
fire, thereby doing a foolish and dan
gerOus thing, and if in the resulting
explosion he is badly burned how
much damages is he entitled to
against the merchant? That is the
question that has been tried in the
district court at Minot and the jury
awarded the plaintiff a verdict for
$4.750 damages. If the mar who
ordered the kerosene had filed a
lamp with the gasoline that was sent
by mistake, ard had been injured in
an explosion. there would seem no
question of his right to recover. But
IS the heating stove the natural re-
pository for kerosene even? It would
aprear from the Minot verdict. which
was rendered against p. p. Lee. a we'll
known merchant, that the use Of
kerosene to light fires has received
the sanction Of a legal pronunciamen-
to. Suppose the man who poured the
stun on the fire had received a DOC.

made it explosive when brought into

North Dakota has good reasons TO
congratulate itself upon the assign
ments of its senators on committees
of the senate. Senator Hansbrough
is a member Of the finance committee,
one Of the most important in the SEN
ate and is also on the District Of Co.
lumbia committee, the st. Louis ex-
position committee and the commit.
tee on irrigation. He also continues
as chairman of the committee on pub
lie lands, one of the leading commit
tees for the senate. Senator Nc
Cumber becomes chairman of the
committee on pensions, one of the
most important in the senate and one
with a vast amount Of labor and re-
sponsibility involved. Senator Gal
linger has been chairman of this CON-
mittee for a number Of years and
Senator McCumber succeeds him to
the place. It is seldom that a state
OF the size and youth Of North Dakota
has two senators SO we'll placed. Thus
again is seen the value of experience
and tenure in Office to the senator.
These places come with time Of SER
vice and experience, and are Of vast
importance to the prestige Of the
state.

Mark A. Carleton, cerealist for the
department, says that the prejudice
among millers against macaroni
wheat is rapidly disappearing. He
knows Of ten large mills which are
waiting for an opportunity to pur-
chase macaroni wheat. The farmers
are declining to sell because of the
low price. One farmer in North
Dakota, Mr.. Carleton says, controls
500 900 bushels, and has been offered
the equivalent of 20 cents a bushel
in Minneapolis, but has declined to
sell. One baker in the east Is trying
to place an order for 10000 barrels of
macaroni flour, but as yet without
success. The future of this wheat,
Mr.. Carleton thinks, is assured.

The open season for deer in South
Dakota is from Dec. LIST to Jan. LIST
and the license is 81. Soon the casu-
alties-hunters mistaken for deer
will be reported from our sister state,
with about the same frequency az
they are nov reported from various
parts of North Dakota. The open
deer season has come to be dreaded
because there is no protection from
the prevalence of buck fever
and d. rs.

MecuMsER's IRRIGATION BILL

Senator McCumber's amendment to
the national irrigation act does not
provide, as has been stated, that the
moneys arising in n state from the
sale of lands shall not be used in any
other state, but it does provide that
the moneys arising in one state, such
as North Dakota, shall not be used in
another state until it is definitely and
certainly established that it cannot be
used to advantage in the state from
which it accrued. This is a fair pro-
position, and one that should receive
the support of the solid northwest.
The expenditure of three millions Of
dollars. or a large share of it, in North
Dakota is not impracticable, and
would result in the vast benefit of the
state and of the northwest. Already
there are Hobbies at Washington, &C
lively working for the diversion Of
North Dakota funds to the southwest.
Inc northwest which Is certainly in
terested in the development Of its
territory, should insist that a fair trial
be made in North Dakota before his
vast sum Is taken down to Nevada or
New Mexico or other far away states,
to redeem deserts and make valuable
the holdings of private land interests.
The text of Senator McCumber's
amendment, reproduced here, shows
that it contemplates nothing unfair,
and nothing that cannot be heartily
Endorsed by the northwest:
That the proceeds arising from the
sale of pubic lands since the 18th day
Of June, 1902, in any one of the follow
ing states or territories: Arizona,
California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ore.
gon. South Dakota, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming. and appropriated to the
construction of irrigation works for the
reclamation of arid lands, under the
provisions of an act entitled IAN act
appropriating the receipts from the
sale and disposal Of public lands in
certain states and territories to the
construction Of irrigation works for
the reclamation of arid lands" ap-
proved June II, 1902, shall constitute
a fund to be used exclusively in the
state or territory. in which such lands
10 sold are situated, for the reclama-
ton of the arid or semi-arid lands of
such state or territory; and no part of
such fund shall be used to reclaim
lands outside of such state or territory
until it has been definitely and GER
tainly ascertained and determined by
the secretary of the interior, by thor
ough and comprehensive surveys, in
vestigations and experiments, taking
into consideration the use Of subter-
ranean streams or bodies of water, by
artesian wells or otherwise, as we'll as
the use of surface water streams or
reservoirs, that such portion Of said
fund cannot be feasibly expended. un-
der the provisions OF said act. in the
state or territory where the lands so
sold are situated.
