81 81. Literature.
II a very. large. quantity of literature
relative to the state is being very
freely distributed. At present there
are five distinct pamphlets being dis,
tributed. A large quantity OF the
folders recently published by Commits.
sioner Gilbreath OF the Department OF
Agriculture has arrived and are
being very eagerly taken. They are
calmpact and are a great credit to the
compiler and the printer. The great
trouble with much Of the literature
distributed at the fair is that it is too
bulky and the result is that it is
thrown away. "a large quantity Of the
maps published BY the same depart.
ment has arrived and are great
help in showing how wonderful has
been the growth OF the state. The
railroad building shown tells. the
visitor more than any words uttered
what confidence men of means have
in the future, OF the state. Two other
pamphlets containing statistics and
views of the state are being dis.
tributed. Beside all of this matter
the Record, filed with North Dakota
views and containing several very ex.
cellent articles on various industries
in the state, is being freely distributed.
The Record is placed in an attractive
envelope which insures its being car.

North Dakota at Congresses.
Governor Sarles was especially
fortunate in his selection of delegates
to the Trans-Mississippi Congress and
National Irrigation Congress recently
held at the. Lewis and Clark Exposi.
ton. All of the men from North Da.
kota who attended were active in their
and it Is safe to say that
It was due to North Dakota that
David R. Francis was elected presi-
dent of the first named congress and
Hon. N. G.. Larimore was given the
honor of being a vice president of that
body. In the first congress North
Dakota was represented by E. A, Viii
liams, J. F. Wallace of Bismarck; w.
N. Steele of Rolla; N. G. Larimore of
Larimore; c. H. Davidson of Caring
ton, and E. F. Chandler of Grand
Forks. Farmer Wallace was placed
on the committee on permanent organ
ization in the first congress and as a
member OF that comfttee did a great
deal OF good work, work that made
him prominent figure in the con-
gress. In the same congress w. N.
Steele was made member of the ex-
ecutiye committee for period Of two
years, Gen. Williams was made a
member of the committee on resolu-
tons where he did considerable good
work. In the second congress Gen.
Williams was placed on the resolu-
lions committee and did considerable
in shaping the tone of the resolutions
and in preventing the adoption Of reso-
lutions not in accord with the spirit OF
the reclamation laws State Engineer
Fellows and E. F. Chandler were
prominent in the congress, Engineer
Fellows presenting a paper before the
engfneers's section, and B. f. Chandler
being made member Of the executive
committee. Il
Not all OF the men appointed BY the
governor to these congresses attended
but those that did attend made them
selves felt. The way that the few
who attended made themselves felt
emphasizes the fact that when men
are appointed as delegates to such
congresses every effort should be
