plains from Sacramento, California, to
Omaha, Neb. There were numerous
tribes of Indians on the western plains.

Council Bluffs, journeyed down to
Eddyyille. At that time Iowa was the

There were no tracks west of Iowa ex.

Address of The pax.

Address OF the Day.
The program for the day opened
with invocation by Rev. G.. r. Canon;
which was followed by a song by the
Ladies quartet. In the absence of
Mayor John Springer, Capt. H. c..
Humbert delivered the address of well
come, in which he stated that the citi-
zens of Agency were extremely glad
to welcome the old settlers of Wapel-
10 county once more and that the keys
OF tie city were turned over to them.
President Jacob Lowenberg respond
ed with few chosen words, stating
that the people of Agency were no
more glad to receive the old settlers
than they were to be received. Fol-
lowing another pleasing selection by
the Ladies quartet, President Lowen-
berg introduced the speaker of the
day, the Hon. H. l.. Waterman. Mr..
Watermans clear distinct voice and
easy unrestrained delivery immediate
ly won for him the closest atten-.
ton of his auditors. His address in
part is given as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, old settlers. ladies
and gentlemen: l had about two years
IN which to get ready to talk to you
on these grounds today and I have
found that the time was too long. /
have prepared during thai. time several
! good speeches, but each one of them
has been forgotten by me because of
the length of time. Now have no per.

larry upon that subject. l never liked

President Worst of the state agricul-
tural college writes a very sensible
and timely letter on the matter of
irrigation in this state which should be
read carefully. The campaign in this
state so far is largely campaign of
education and it is necessary for the
farmers and land owners themselves
to cooperate with the state bureau
and the government if irrigation is to
become a reality in North Dakota.
Already an ultimatum has been sent
to water users along the Belle Fourche
in South Dakota that they must come
to an agreement with the government
or the scheme for irrigation there must
be abandoned. The government is not
to do it all. The people themselves
must help.

Belgian Representative Defends Con-
90 Government.
Washington, Oct. 19.-At the request
Of the king of Belgium Colonel Henry
L Kowalsky of the San Francisco bar
and personal friend of King Leo
pold, called at the White House
by appointment and presented the
reply of the Federation for the defense
OF Belgian interests abroad to attacks
made on the government of the Congo
Free State. Colonel Kowalsky pre-
sented to the president an autograph
picture of King Leopold framed in sill
yer. In the course of an extended
audience with the president Colonel
Kowalsky said:
interested Britishers are endeavor-
Ing under the guise of benefactors of
the Congo natives, to open the ques-
ton Of sovereignty over those regions
by calling conference of the powers
at which, it is hoped by the Britishers,
England may establish the contention
that Belgium is impotent to maintain
an effective government in the Con-
CO."
Colonel Kowalsky denied all the
charges made against the Congo gov
eminent, which, he claimed, was more
advanced than many British South
African colonies. He said all the up
roar was caused by disgruntled Brit
ish missionaries who had been unable
to get big concessions in the Congo
Free State.
Colonel Kowalsky was cordially re-
ceived by the president, who express
ed his pleasure that King Leopold had
thus honored an American After the
matter has been carefully considered

BY N. II. JEWELL

Two years ago Burleigh county cast
but 1,125 votes. The indications point
to a vote Of $500 or 1000 this fall. In
some precincts the vote has been more
than doubled by the advent of news set
tiers and these new people, from Iowa,
from Wisconsin, Illinois and other
states are largely republican. 1t is
probable therefore that the republican
majority of over $50 on the state
ticket in 1902 will be increased to 400
or 500 this year. OF course it is not
expected this majority will hold up on
the county ticket as is would be i'm
possible to nominate county ticket
SO free from objections, from local
prejudices and factionalism as to
command the full party vote for each
candidate. This is presidential year,
however, and the incentive ought to be
to vote straight ticket. The republic
can convention that selected the coun-
month, was representative one, was
well attended by representative citi-
zens from each precinct and the ticket
named is good one. 1t deserves the
support of all republicans. PERSONAL
ties should not enter into the fight.
Vote the straight republican ticket.

substitutes for their candidates for
