hard time at Washington with the bill
for the creation OF the Williston land
district, North Dakota The bill

ably reported by the house. Speak,
e- Cannon, however, refuses TO recog-
nize GTonna on the ground that he is
| not inclined to favor the creation OF
more new offices. GTonna and Mar
shall will make a combined attack on
the speaker shortly and see if he will
consent to have the bill considered in
the house. There is no doubt of its
passage when brought up. The mem,
bers of the North Dakota delegation
have requests from members of the
state bar asking authority to hold a

be done owing to the fear that the
bill already being put through fol
