Seen on the Road.

The following extract is taken from
the Lidgerwood Monitor, published by
Grand Lecturer Irwin, and written
while on visit to the Masonic Lodges
here two weeks ago:
''This week / was at Drayton one day
and IN the midst of the Curling Bon
spiel'' in which large number Of Red
River Valley towns were interested.
Many Of the curriers' came from towns in
Canada between Pembina and Winnipeg
and all semmed to be out for good
time.
Their list of matched games was long
and.many trophies were hung up for the
victors. The game is Of Scotch origin
and requires considerable skill to, slide a
piece Of granite 12O feet on the ice and
get it close to a ''T'' in such a. manner
that the opponents can not dislodge il.

good. 1t is easy to agree on that. But
primary law in the concrete, primary
law in form. primary law in practice,
these are matters of very many and diff
cult phases. 1t is a simple matter to find
flaws in our present election laws, but
when in an effort to improve those laws
it is attempted to practically abolish all
the old laws, to entirely change the prin-
ciples and system that have governed
the voter for hundred years, to add a
verv large number of necessarily cum
bersome provisions, il is no easy task
for the legislator, no matter how honest
or able he may be.
If the legislators at Bismarck this win.
ter do pass primary law, it will be a
law that very small minority will favor
in all its provisions. 1t will be law in
the nature of a compromise. That it will
be very imperfect is as certain as that
human nature is imperfect.
Law may assist but cannot make vot.
ers intelligent or interested. Legislators
cannot foresee all the practical results ol
law that must embrace so many par,
ticulars. Primary law is certain to be a
failure in many respects; we hope that il
may at least be somewhat of success,
as the people seem to think they want it.
For the latter reason we believe if the
House can agree on any kind of reason.
able primary law, that the senate will
agree to it-and throw the responsibility
on the members of the House.

The 1905 Session Laws.

The pres ent session of the legislature
promises to make a lot OF trouble for the
1899 code and subsequent session laws
Up to date more bills have been intro.
duced than any session Of the past. Il
you do not get copy OF the new meas.
ures, you will not know what is the law,
and you know that ignorance of the law
does not excuse any person. The quick.
est, cheapest and best way to know the
law is to buy copy of the "Pocket Ed.
ition" of the laws. This will be printed
within few hours after the governor has
disposed of the last measure before him.
1t will, in addition to the law contain 81
pages of North Dakota statistical matter,
which will be of interest, we think. The
"Pocket Edition" will cost but dollar,
and its possession may save you. much,
more than this. Send this sum to the
Pioneer Express, and your address, and
the one dollar will have copy delivered
you as soon as printed.

AT Pemblna found the HartZell MUIR
der trial from Langdon to be the center
of public interest and the city filled with
witnesses in the case. met the elder
Hartzell and had short conversation
with him. Many of those here sympa-
thize with him in this trouble.
q, A souvenir Of this city is now being
sold here, an aluminium book mark,
containing photo Of the first post-oAice,
a log cabin of two rooms, built by Chas.
Cavieer in the early COS. In front of the
cabin stands Red river cart, the freight
car of that day, and beside it Jud La
Moure, now senator and state leader; N.
E. Nelson, collector of customs; Chas.
Cavileer, his wife and daughter; w. H.
Moorhead, known as "High Water
Bill" and a few others. This cabin was
torn down in 1881 In this cabin shortly
before it was torn down tragedy oc-
cured when two were killed, desper-
ado from Texas and detective. The
detective and desperate shot at each
other, both shots taking effect, the de.
tective dying almost instantly and the
desperate in a few minutes. The des.
perado was wanted in Texas for murder
and had been followed many miles b,
the detective who was about to arres,
him when the fatal shooting occurred.
Howard Hancock, formerly of Oakes
and a 500 train man is now employed or
the N. P. and is working out of Crane
Forks and Pembina.
When in Pembina called at the U. S
customs Office to visit with the collector
Mr.. Nelson but found that he was a
home sick. However l met Rober
Morrison his deputy and had a pleasan
visit with him. In the course of his con
versation he stated that the collection!
for this state amounted to about $1,000
a month and the revenue tnken from
confscated property taken from smugg
lers is surprisingly large, about SIC, 600
year. During the past year there ha
been considerable wheat smuggled owe
{ the line on account oftlfe price in thi
Slstate beng much higher than in the Can
adian markets. In many of these instan
ces the farmer has lost his team, wagol
and grain, the same being confscated b,
the customs officer.
i In most of the towns in this sectio,
there are many who are planning to en-
gage in business in the towns that ar,
to be established on the new 500 exten
sion from Thief River Falls to Kenmare
The prospect now is that the new towns
will quickly build up with the usual bus
mess houses, etc. Most of the countr,
through this line will pass is good ane
we'll settled. In some instances ther,
are towns on the G. N. branches tha
will lose few business firms that will
move their place of business to one O
the new towns, but most of them arr
new enterprises.

THE PRIMARY BILL.

The progress of the Sharp primary
bill in the legislature has SO far been
quite amusing. 1t was ''heralded" in the
earlier part Of the session as having a
large majority in its favor in the House,
that such majority had Signed up" a
big committee was formed to keep up
the organized forces in its favor, certain
other legislation was to be blocked until
the primary law was safely passed, and
the only possible danger of defeat lay
among the old political fossils that COM
pose the Senate, who for some dire
selfish purposes of their own were bent
on defeating the will Of the people.
Well-well-well, but how different
the thing has turned out, Instead Of
bringing the bill up first in the House, 1t
came up in the Senate and with very
little criticism or objection it passed that
body almost unanimously, only four vot-
ing against it, and they Of the younger
element.
And now it is before the House--and
It is re. ''heralded" that it has hard sled
ding before it. That ''its enemies" will
seek to make many amendments SO that
it will have to 60 back to The Senate and
there be killed by the same old fossils
that voted SO unan imously for spassage,
Isn't il kind oflunny? Why, according
70 the claim at the first, there ought not
to be any great number Of people in the
house that would want to amend, and if
they did, with the overwhelming major
~ against them, how in the dickens can
they get in the proposed amendments

RUSSIA. A VOLCANO.

Revolutionary symptoms are increas.
ing in Russia and Austria. They may
presage sudden and terrible turmoil in
the near future, or as in the past the
threatened eruption may subside for a
time below the surface.
But that the fire is there is made mani
fest by these minor explosions and the f.
nal earthquake is certainty, unless the
autocracy that governs these states grants
more liberty to the people. In Russia
about one.third of the people are just
waiting for leader to take the -govern-
ment in their own hands: In Austria
only the life of the aged emperor stands
between the government and anarchy.
The latter country is composed of many
peoples, speaking many languages, who
have no common interests to cement
them together. They are high wall OF
loose stones built without mortar.
One cannot hear OF the labor disturb
ances in Russia and Austria without a
shudder as to what the possible outcome
might be to thousands or millions.
In Russia such an uprising just now,
when the war in the east is vet unsettled,
might bring snch overwhelming compli-
cations that the whole world including
this country, might be drawn into the
maelstrom.
1t may be that the czar and his advisers
may finally see the rising tide and
realize the impossibility of stopping it,
and may instead take means to meet it
and float with the current by granting
the people the privileges, at least IN part,
that they demand. Otherwise, the end
is in sight, but what the end may bring
forth for the world is known to none.
We only know that the struggle will
mean great human sacrifice in its pro-
,gress, and that humanity at large will
get the benefit in the end, but at terrible
cost.

The jury having been secured, the
trial began on Wednesday NOR ing.
As stated last week, the present testi-
mony in the trial will be almost the same
as that already reported in the Hartzell
trial. Mr.. Bascom was included jointly
in the Information with Hartzell and
charged with murder in the first degree,
but asked for a separate trial. He was
present at the time of the shooting and
the state accuses him of 'aiding and
abetting" Harlzell, though the latter did
the shooting.

found it necessary to withdraw from the
case. and Attorney w. H. Depuy of

Stacking Alfalfa.

Throughout the western half of the
United States alfalfa hay is commonly
stored in stacks in the field. Alfalfa
stacks will not shed water as readily
as stacks OF grass hay In the arid
regions there is little danger from
rains during the season of storage, but
in humid climates it Is necessary to
store the hay in barns or else cover the
stacks with large tarpaulins, or they
may lie topped with grass. Otherwise
the percentage Of waste is Very large.
In any case there is likely to be Eome
waste. for which reason the stacks
are made large. thus reducing the pro.
portionate amount of waste. In the
alfalfa regions of the west the stacks
are as high AZ the hay can he handled
easily and may be 200 feet or more in
length. The size of the stack is then
limited chiefly by the convenience in
bringing the hay from the surrounding
field.
