NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 1S.-The
feature of today's Pythian Convention
was the decision to consolidate the
Pythian Sisterhood, having a mem
bership of 1000, and the Rathbone
Sisters, which has $4,000 members.
1t was announced that a new name,
that of Pythian Sisters, will probably
be adopted by the consolidation, and
that both organizations will change
their rituals to merge it into a new
ritual. The act of official consolida-
ton was set for April Is, 1907, at
place to be designated hereafter.
The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Py-
thias, spent the entire day in election
of officers. They adjourned until to-
morrow without having elected Pres
ident of the Board of Control or Major
General Endowment Rank These Of
ficers will not be elected until settle
ment is made of proposed changes in
the Constitution making them appoin-
tive, instead of elective.
The Supreme Lodge elected the fol-
lowing officers:
Supreme Chancellor-Chas. A.
Barnes, Jacksonville, III.
Supreme Vice Chancellor-Henry p.
Brown, Cleburne, Texas.
Supreme Prelate-Leo. A. Caro-,
Grand Rapids, Mich.
Supreme Keeper of Record and Seals
R. L. c. White, Nashville, Tenn.
Supreme Master of Exchequer--
Thos. D. Meares, Wilmington, N. c.
Supreme Maser of Arms-Noble
Binns, of Trail B. c.
Wis, of Davis, /. T.
Supreme Outer Guard-Jos. H.
Lyon, Leavenworth, Kan.
Proposed revision of Pythian insur-
ance laws was not reached. These
proposals, as outlined by John M. Adj
ans, of Fort Worth. Texas, Secretary
of the special Committee on Endow-
ment Rank, gave to the members of
this rank the same security as old
line insurance companies, including
about the same reserves, paid up and
insurance, and the making
of policies incontestable after three
years. 1t is proposed to change the
old fourth clause with it's $1,500,00O
surplus provision, but the privilege
will be offered each member to trans
fer without medical examination into
the new rank.

Now, as I understand it, from talk
ing with a great many people having
more knowledge than I have on that
subject, about eight inches of rain DUR
ing the crop season is a plentiful pre-
cipitatioi to insure a good crop. l
have examined the statistics for the. last
fourteen years which are kept by the
United States weather bureau here and
find that in three years out of the
fourteen the precipitation from the first
of March to the first Of August, has
fallen below eight inches, and at three
times only. The. lowest was !7.54 inches
which was in. either 1908 or 1898. The
precipitation during the other year, for
the same period, was 7.55 inches, and
for the third year during the same time,
ITO inches, believe. -.
Now these periods covers a space of
fourteen years. It is not bad, is it, if
that amount of precipitation is in fact
sufficient to insure crop?
In regard to North Dakota / want to
say only a few more words and they
are: The east is over-populated in one
respect. Take my native state of Iowa,
from which I came, and you find that
the condition of over population has
been relieved. It decreased in popula-

years attempts have been made to

sition to the passage of this bill from

from the fact that the bill penalties

because it provides that all adulter-

E The jamestown Capital recalls
some old testimony in a land suit
given years ago when experts testified
as to the value of lands in the west
ern part of Stutsman county-one ex-
pert placing the value of the land at
fifty cents to 81 an acre and another
placing the value of the land at near
~ nothing The.,aand is now worth
an average of $40 an acre and there
IS a good market at that. It is
splendid grazing land and what has
been broken has. raised splendid
crops of grain. The development of
the North Dakota idea is evident in
this better understanding of the
value of land. All tillable land in
North Dakota has a fair market value
that will increase as the state grows
older.
