SIMPSON WANTS MORE
PAY FOR THE JUDGES

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. Ex-senator
Simpson of Stark County has prepar-
ed a bill relating to raising the salary
of the district judges that he will
probably introduce into the upper
house in the course. of day or two.
The bill as drafted provides that the
salary of the district judges be raised
from $500 per year to $4,000 per year
and that it shall be in force after
the terms of the present district judg
es expire which would be in January
1900 The bill also provides that the
judges who were elected at the last
election be allowed $1oo per month
as expenses until the law providing for
the increased salary be in force.
The bill contains most of the recon-
mendations which several prominent
members of the state bar association
have made during the past few
months. 1t has been felt for some
time that the district judges of the
state were not sufficiently paid, and it
is very probable that the increase as
provided for in the bill to be intro.
duced by Senator Simpson will pass
without the leafs difficulty. sr' . y

COMMITTEE OF ENGINEERS
CALLED ON HANsBROUGH
Reports ON the Buford and the Bis
narck Projects Were Filed They
Are Both Recommended as Feasible,
But Latter Lands Are Doubtful.

Washington, Jan. I3.-A party Of
engineers from the reclamation service
headed by Engineer Davis called at
the capitol to confer with Senator
Hansbrough in regard to irrigation
matters in North Dakotas& - '.>
They brought with them various
maps and drawing showing the loca-
ton of projects which have been cx-
afnined during the past year and which
are, pronounced by engineers as being
feasible At. -
Two extensive projects have been
located along the Missouri River, one
at Bismarck and the other east OF
Buford. 5 @
In both of these projects it will be
necessary to pump water from the
Missouri River, and engineers have
decided that this is feasible in each
case.
AS respects the Buford project no
| difficulty is anticipated in the matter
tof organization of water association
among owners of land to be benefited.
There are about I8 900 acres in this
tproject that can be bought under the
ditch As to the Bismarck project,
i however, there are serious doubts in
regard to whether the owners Of the
property will consent to, a diversion
of the lands and their sale to settlers
at price that will permit purchasers
| thereof to pay the costsao the land.
| According to- report of the en-
lgineers and in their estimates Of the
lcost OF pumping water from the river

about Sc per ton.l g5 #

GRAIN THAT BEARS
!, THE UNION LABEL

Minneapolis, Jan. ga sample Of
wheat bearing the union label was re-
eeived by a Minneapolis grain COM
mission firm during the day with an
offer to sell a carload at $I.2o which
is the minimum scale of the new farm
ers' union. Tt may be generally known
that the farmers have started union.
The organization is not one of farm
hands but of the owners of iarriis.
This union is novel in that it has no
provisions for strikes. 1t fights merely
with the boycott and this weapon is
directed against the members of spec
ulatiye markets whom the promoters
of the organization consider tyrants
A minimum scale has been adopted
fixing price below which grain must
not be sold. No union label wheat
can be sold at less that $I.2o bushel
no corn for less than so cents: no bar,
ley for less than So cents; and no oat,
for less than 40 cents. #. g.
