Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1905-09-15

I remember when lands
were selling at $40 or SIS an
acre and it dosen't seem to
be but a short time ago. And
, do you think that every acre
of it was worth $50? Today
a few acres, a few rare
pieces, may be sold at $50.
/ say to you that land in the
Red River Valley is better
worth $500 an acre than
land that is selling readily
in Illinois and Iowa at 500
an acre, because you can.
raise everything that they
raise you can raise most OF
the things that they raise in
greater perfection than they
can and you can market it
from a dollar to $1.5O an
acre less because of trans
portation. II
If this be true, the prosperity
and richness of North Dakota is
merely in the dawn. The farm

will do that with four or five

and I tell you the agricul-

their share Of intelligence

No man has followed closer the
development of North Dakota
than has President James j. Hill.
That his foresight was great is
proved by the fact that taking
advantage Of the early oppor,

STATE SENATORS
UNDER ARREST

Sacramento, Calf, Feb. 11.-Senator
Eli Wright, was indicted by the grand
jury of Sacramento County last night
on a charge of bribery, and was ar
rested this morning. His attorneys say
the reason he was not arrested last
night was because he could not find
bondsemen and did not wish to spend
the night in Jail. He is now in the
custody of the sheriff and his friends
are making an effort to procure bond
for his release. State Senators Bunk
ers, French and Emmons, also indicted
for bribery, who were arrested, were,
last night, released on $4,000 bail each.
These Senators are charged with re-
ceiving $3.50 each from Joseph S. Jor-
dan, who has made a confession. 1t
is stated in the indictment that the
money was paid and received for the
purpose of influencing legislation, the
specific charge being guarantee OF
immunity for two building and loan as
sociations.

CASINO GUTTED
BY FIRE TODAY

New York, Feb. 1.-THE Casino
theater was gutted today, the loss be-
ing $4,000. The Lady Teasle" Com,
pany, headed by Lillian Russell, was
rehearsing when the fire started. All
the members escaped without serious
injury, but several were obliged to
jump from windows.
The fire gained great headway owing
to insufficient water pressure. The Ca.
sino was a large building located at
the corner Of Broadway and Thirty
ninth Street. 1t was built in the eigh.
ties and was famous long time as the
home of the Arnson musical comedies.
1t was under the management of the
Shubert Brothers. The fir started in
the dressing room over the stage. The
chorus girls became panic stricken
Anna Hart, a chorus girl, broke leg
by falling on the stairs. Lillian Rus.

DOESN'T APPROVE
OF DOCTORING

Washington, Feb. 11.-President
Roosevelt has addressed letter to
Senator Cullom, chairman of the com
-mittee on foreign relations, stating that
the action of the committee in amend
ing the arbitration treaties by substitut.
ing for the word agreement" the word
treaty" is, in his opinion not step
forward, but a step backward. If the
word treaty" is substituted the trea-
ties would amount to specific an.
nouncement against the whole princi
pie of the general arbitration treaty
The President also says that If in the
Judgment of the President the amend
ment nullifies a proposed treaty II
seems to him that it is no less clearly
his duty to refrain from endeavoring to
secure the ratification of the amended
treaty.
Signed With Japan.
Washington, Feb. 11.-Secretary
Hay today signed with the Japanese
minister an arbitration treaty Identical
with those signed with other nations.

From his majority he has affiliated
with the Republican party and has
been staunch and loyal supporter of
it's principles and candidates for Office.
He has been delegate to Luna County
Republican conventions several times
while resident of that county, and
has represented it on the Republican
Territorial Central Committee for four
years; he attended two Republican
territorial conventions as a delegate
from that county and one as delegate
from Bernalillo County. At the Nation
al Republican Convention in Chicago
in June last he represented the Terri
tory as an alternate. He was nOmi-
mated for the Council by the Republi-
cans of Bernalillo and was elected by
ber last. While this is Mr.. Greer's
first experience in legislative matters,
nevertheless during the first half of
the session he has proven himself a
hard working, careful and painstaking
member. He is especially on the look
out for the protection and advancement
of the stock interests of New Mexico
and the Greer Mounted Police Bill"
which passed the Assembly yesterday,
was prepared and introduced by him
and pushed through the Assembly
mostly by his efforts, work and d.
plomacy. The bill which has become
law to stop the barbarous practice Of
roping cattle and cattle roping exhibit
tions was also introduced by him and
passed by the Assembly. This is a
very creditable and beneficial measure.
His legal education and experience
stand him in excellent stead in the
many and important business affairs he
manages and naturally help him in his
legislative duties. Although a young
man, he has had much experience in
business and public matters and while
conservative, he Is also q progressive
man of affairs. This Is not paradox.
In his character he combines happy
medium Of modern progressiveness and
push, tempered with conservatism and
good judgment.
On May 23d, 1899, Mr.. Greer married
Miss May Jastro, daughter of the well
known and successful capitalist and
stock raiser, DR.. Jastro Of Bakersfield,
California.

POINTERS

Both Houses have done considerable
work during the week and the mem
bers are entitled to good rest ovel
Saturday and Sunday.
The number Of bills introduced II
the Council compared with previous
sessions is rather small There are
however, several weeks yet in which
to make up.
According to indications more bills
will be introduced next week thar
have been introduced altogether during
the past four weeks of the Legislative
assembly. BY next Tuesday evening
one-half of the legislative term viii
have passed.
Councilman Greer looked handsome1
than ever yesterday. His bill estab
fishing a force of mounted police
which had passed the Council, Thurs
day, rushed through the House by
vote of 18 to 4. The "Greer Mounted
Police Bill" is all right.
AhS
The Albuquerque papers have assert
ed that President John s. Clark OF the
Legislative Council is to be appointed
coal oil inspector under the provisions
of the Lynch coal oil bill which wal
passed by the Assembly on Thursday
last. There is no foundation whatso
ever for this assertion. In the frs
place President Clark is not candi
date for the position and in the secont
place under the Organic Act, he coult
| not be such candidate, that act pro
hibiting the appointment Of member
of the Legislative Assembly to an,
|of1ice created by the Assembly Of which
| he is such member for one year there
after.
The Denver Post of Thursday de
votes almost column to hogwash from
Santa Fe correspondent anent tht
governorship situation. In Santa FL
nothing of such situation is known
i or discussed at present as Governor
Otero's term does not expire until mex
year and 1t is guessing rather fal
ahead to predict the Presidents actor
twelve months from now. The proph
cts may get as severe a shock as dc
those who predicted what the Presl
dent would do in filling the guberna
torial chair Of Arizona. The man ap
pointed had not a single recommends
tion on file and yet, landed the plum
when everybody else guessed tina
some other man would get 1t.
