The Normanden, a Norwegian news

chiefly distinguished for the celebrity
and ease with which it can change its
convictions, is lining Prof. Thu

the man for gubernatorial honors. But
it won't work. The professor will
never sit in the governors chair un-
less he does it when the people of the
state are not looking. This is the
same Tingelstad who visited various
portions Of the state last year and So
icited large contributions for the pur-
pose Of putting in library Of Norwe-
gian literature at the State Univer-
slty. It will be remembered by those
that contributed to this fund that he
has never shown to what use the
money was put. All any Of US. know

Norwegians here contributed over $500

provment cost 81, 900.

The Courant man had the pleasure
of inspecting the new proc ess fol
the treatment of flour now in use in
the mill Of Woodward and Kalbfe-
isch. The machine is a costly one
representing an investment Of over
81, 900 besides the expense of putting
in a dynamo and fitting it up for the
use of the machine in connection with
the regular milling machinery. Our
enterprising millers are the first in
the state to secure and operate one of

these modern machines. Mr.. Wood
ward said in the course of our inter-
view, "We are in competition with
the best flour in the world and we are
compelled to meet it in quality. We
can do it with the aid of this process. :"
And they are doing it.
The new process consists of an cleo
trolytic cell and blower which in
conjunction with the high voltage
current Of electricity from the dynamo
produce ozone. The -four passes in a
spray through the ozone and the mois-
ture in the -four is acted upon in
such a way that chemical action
takes place at once, bleaching the
-four to perfect color, destroying all
germs and giving to the product the
qualities which every baker knows to
belong to -four which has been thor
oughly saged. Z The purifying and
bleaching process does more than that
for with the decrease in moisture
there is corresponding increase in
the starch and sugar elements. thus
making better and more wholesome
-four. We understand that those who
are using the treated -four are very
much pleased with it. Everyone in
Bottineau County should encourage
the progressive spirit Of our millers by
giving them patronage and driving
out the imported brands Of flour.
When we can get something really first
class at home there is certainly no ex-
cuse for sending away for it. We
are rarely fortunate in having the
most enterprising millers IN the
whole state. Let's treat them right.

TWO WEEKS MORE
Will tell the Tale. Thousands of
Votes Out Yet. Voting will be
Heavy in next few Days.

When it is stated that over 20, 900
votes have been issued from the Office
this week it will appear strange that
so little change has been made in the
totals for the week. The explanation
is that good many are paying up
subscriptions now and will vote next
week and the week after There is
really nothing to be gained by this
procedure unless it be the satisfaction
of burying the contest editor under
a drift of ballots. Unless many people
forget to vote before the contest closes
there are yet many thousands of votes
to come in and the tale will soon be-
told. Don't forget that the contest
closes December 31st at midnight.

"A Special Letter sent to the

The RATE QUESTION
Will be very Important Feature
Of the coming Session of
Congress.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 8. 1905.
Washington welcomed the 59th Con-
gress within her gates under auspi-
cious circumstances The weather
was all that could be desired, in fact
it was ideal: it was neither too warm
nor yet too cold. The sky was one
UNMARRIED canopy of blue, and under
foot all was dry and clean swept. The
streets of Washington are always we'll
kept and admirably clean. Her broad
avenues and spacious buildings lend
an air of amplitude and hospitality.
quite fitting the distinction and honor
of entertaining the American Con-
:gress, that body of men which repre-
;sents the sovereign people of the
greatest republic of al time. The
membership of that body, as whole,
is such as to shed lustre and credit
upon it's constituency. This observat-
ion is applicable to congresses in gen.
eral, although they differ in their per-
sonnel and aims. Sessions come and
sessions go, and to the casual and sup
erfcial spectator there seems to be
monotony in the process, and each
succeeding Congress appears to be but
a replica of its predecessor, without
individuality or distinguishing teat-
ureS.
59th Congress
The careful observer, however.
perceives something novel and char
acteristic in the composition of eac b
successive legislative body. Unique
and remarkable personalities find their
way into every field of human endeav-
or and those who are elected to come
down to the capitol at Washington as
the law makers of the nation represent
types and classes as distinct and var
led as the American people. Men of
strength and acumen usually attract
attention by their peculiar methods of
procedure. Imitation rarely, if ever
produces grea tness or superiority in
any sphere of action: and he who
launches out independently discovers
himself and his possibilities While
originality is not necessarily indicat-
i've of genius, or exceptional power or
ability, there is usually tentative
presumption to that effect.
Apart from the individual traits
and capacities of its members their
collective aims and plans give to each
congress special and peculiar 81 gni-
fcance. The 59th Congress is insep-
arably associated aud connected with
certain far-reaching problems, and in
this respect may be classed as one of
the most important in recent years.
It will go down in history as the rail
way rate congress, and the law which
will be enacted this session, bearing
on that question, will mark an era in
the annals Of federal control of trans
portation

Rate Question

The rate question looms above them
all other considerations at this time
and almost monopolizes the attention
of public men. The pretentious MUIR
murings from the camp of the opposit-
ion to the presidents determined
policy, which contributed a note Of
hostility to it consideration during
the past summer seems mysteriously
and suddenly to have abated. Per-
.haps the conciliatory tone of the
presidents message paved the way to
this remarkable document. There
are those who do not rejoic. in the
seeming modification of the demands
formerly made by the president as
manifest from his message, and who
regard with suspicion the apparent
.acquiescence Of notorious anti-rate
forces. It may signify unsatlsfact-
ory- compromise. The Esch. Townsend
bill which last winter held the cent
or Of the stage, no longer enjoys that
distinction, and is not regarded as
the soley accredited administration
bill. It has been relegated to- the
ranks, and must take it's chances with
othe: similar bills, without the sanct-
ion Of executive preference. It is said
that the House Committee on Inter
state and Foreign Commerce will re-
port what is in substance the Hep
burn Bill, although il will be known
as the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Bill Senator Foraker has int
reduced 4 bill ~ the Senate which
represents the view of the conservat.

Damming the Rio Grande.

Phoenix, A. T.-Bids for the con-

the provisions of the reclamation law,

twenty-one bids submitted, ranging be-
tween that Of John M. O'Rourke & Co.
of Galveston of $1,147,OOO and the
American Construction Company Of
Denver at So, 444, 800. Several were at
sums less than million and quarter.
O'Rourke demands two years for the
construction, while Roderick & Ward

to finish the work in seventeen months.
Under the specification, any delay in
the construction over the time stipu-

The Maqic Mirror of Japan.

The magic mirror" of Japan is a
disk of bronze, usually from six to
eight inches in diameter. 1t is sill
vered on the front, which is a, little
convex, and there is raised pattern
on the back which is rather concave.
The polished pattern is generally a
landscape, flowers, animals, or Chi
nese characters. 1t is not visible in
the front of the mirror, but when
strong sunlight is reflected from the
front of the mirror to a wall or screen
the pattern of the back is visible on
the screen in bright lines on black
ground. Prof. w. E. Ayrton, F. R. S.,
with Prof. John Perry, F. R. S., was
the first to give the true scientific ex
PLANTATION of this magical effect. II
seems that the design on the back
alters the convexity of the front, MAX.
ing it fiat, in fact, along the lines OF
the pattern. Consequently the light
reflects from the front is not dispersed
at these points of the design, and they
appear brighter on the screen.
