The distinguished author of In His
Steps" is stanch friend of Christian
Endeavor. In a recent number OF the
Endeavor Spirit he has the following
to say about THE Influence Of Chris
tan Endeavor Societies."
First, their influence In the church
Of which they are a part It almost
goes without saying that a church
which has any future in It must have
young people who are actively at work
1t would be safe TO say that If all the
young peoples societies were cut out
Of all the churches In America the
churches themselves would sustain n
tremendous loss, even those churches
which are Indifferent to the organiza-
lion. The direct influence of an En-
deavor society on the pastor OF a
church is noticeable in many direc-
lions. The pastor gets his inspiration
from various sources. He draws Ii
from the spiritual atmosphere in which
he is supposed TO live, from the ever
1asting promises. from his reading
from friends, ETC. But by far 1 =
largest source of his real inspiration
must be the knowledge Of enthusiastic
cooperation In Christian work among
his young people.
This influence is so large and pow
erful that the man In the ministry who
has no experience of 1t Is a man to be
pitied, and 1t is doubtful If any leader
IN Christian work can do faithful serv-
Zee and remain encouraged unless he
has this consciousness of sympathy and
enthusiastic fellowship which the Chris
tan Endeavor societies always furnish.
in the second place, the influence of
che Christian Endeavor societies is a
recognized factor In the social and po-
litical life of the world There are
hundreds of communities where the
Christian young people of this society
are a distinct and practical factor in
the political and social welfare of the
place. Scores of Endeavor societies
have literally turned the tide of po-
litical corruption back in their town or
village. and hundreds of them all over
the country aud the world represent TO
the outside world the. finest type of
Christian enthusiasm iii existence. 1t
Is worth more than one can measure
TO know that there is In America and
throughout the world a band Of several
hundred thousand young men and
women whose ideals are those of the
Son OF God This factor must be reek-
oned with by the world outside of the
church and Of Christ This influence
- a
To the EDdeavor society the world
owes today. for direct influence in
countless ways Of Righteousness. more
than to any other organization of young
people known that Is not Christian"

All the last meeting OF the Willard union,
Mrs. A. w. Clark, a delegate to the State
convention at Dexter, gave very glowing
account of the many good things seen and
heard there, the convention having been
conceded to be one Of the very best in its
history.
The special recommendations of the
president, l.. NJ. n. Stevens, were replete
with good sense and far-seeing wisdom.
The enthusiasm of the earnest white rib
boners gathered in council, the delightful
musical numbers, solos, etc, of the Dex-
ter singers, the eloquence of the leader
and other prominent speakers, were de-
scribed in a graphic manner by Mrs.
Clark. Co. Press SUIT.

Marriage of consumptives.

The marriage of the tuberculous ia
perhaps frowned upon by all physi-
clans, the majority of whom would no
doubt advocate the prohibition Of such
unions. It is considerable of a sur
prise, then, observes American Medi-
cine, to learn that DR.. Charles Valen-
tino, Of Paris, has declared that these
marriages are desirable. He bases his
opinion upon the well-known fact that
the disease itself is rarely II ever
transmitted, and that there is an i'm
munity possessed by many of the of
spring of the tuberculous. He shows
that though this infection is more fire.
quent about the age of 20, it's ap-
pearance in those of tuberculous lNr-
entage, If they acquire it at all, is
somewhere between IS and so. He &C.
knowledges that where one partner
alone is infected the other is contain
mated in 16 per cent. Of the cases,
and that this infant mortality is
quite high, particularly where both
parents are tuberculous, but he thinks
that these disadvantages are far out
weighed by the advantage Of breeding

GR0NNA GIVES THE
LIE TO TALE OF
KNOCKERS
Who Would Have it That He
and Hansbrough Are at
Outs.
BY e. c. SNYDER.

Washington, D. c., March 9, 1906
A story is being circulated in the press
of North Dakota to the effect that
Senator Hansbrough and Congress-
man Gronna are at loggerheads over
the million dollar drainage bill. The
tale has it that the senator and the
congressman are at outs upon this
proposition and upon several other
matters. Nothing could be further
from the truth. Senator Hansbrough
and Congressman Gronna are work.
ing tremendously on every PROPOSE
| ton of interest to North Dakota. Rep
resentative Gronna when seen upon
this matter today said:
There is absolutely no foundation
for the ill-natured reports that are be-
Ing circulated regarding the disagree
ment between Senator Hansbrough
and myself on the drainage PROPOSE
ton or in fact any other proposition
affecting North Dakota. The fact is
that Senator Hansbrough and myself
have been and are now working har-
moniously on the drainage bill. There
is very little material difference be-
tween the two bills, and, personally,
neither of us care which bill is even
tually reported and passed. Our aim
is to give the people of our state the
relief they demand, the minor details
do not matter. My drainage bills are
before the committee on irrigation, of
which Representative Marshall is a
member, and am not prepared to say
just at this time what action has been
taken in committee upon them. The
bill of Senator Hansbrough has been
reported favorably from the committee
on public lands, of which committee
l am a member, and shall do all in
my power when the bill comes before
the house to secure it's passage"

COMPLAINTS AGAINST STAMPS.
Showers of Letters Received ut Wash.
ington About Postage Muscilage.
By f. G.. SNYDER

hy T.. z. snyder.
Washington, D. C. March 10
Within the past few weeks COM
plants have come to Washington in n
perfect storm from all over the coun-
try concerning the character of the
muscilage and the paper which are
now being used by the bureau of en-
craving and printing in the manufac-
ture of postage stamps. There never
was a time when the gum on the
backs of these small pieces of paper
was so bad as it is today, and if pri-
vate concern had the contract it would
undoubtedly be hauled up and severely
death with because of the character
of the work which is being turned out.
In his attempts to reduce the cost of
manufacture to minimum, and there
by make a showing of economy, the
director of the bureau of engraving
and printing seems to have produced
as poor lot of stamps as were ever
turned out by the cheapest little king
dom in Europe. AS stamp collectors
know, for many years some of these
kingdoms were noted for the poor
quality of their postal supplies, but
no one of them was ever accused of
producing an adhesive stamp to use
which it is necessary to buy bottle
of muscilage. One of the hotels here
In Washington has such bottle on
its counter and every time postage
stamp is sold, the. patron of the news
stand is advised to use the muscilage
brush SO as to insure the adhesion of
the stamp to the letter which he de-
sires to send off.

Investigations Of the underground
. and artesian water conditions IN the
Red FLYER valley were made BY Prof.
h D. E. Willard, with a view to the prep
aration Of general report on the lun-
Ederground waters of the state. Ma
terial was also obtained for special
report on the area of the Wahpeton
quadrangle.
Attention has been concentrated on
the possibilities of retaining land in
extreme western parts of the state.
Considerable preliminary work was
done on the lower Yellowstone pro-
ject, which is located on Yellowstone
river. Surveys were made of what il
known as the "low-line canal" the
irrigable lands were mapped, surveys
for all special structures at head-gates
and creek crossings were made, and
the location of the center line of the
canal on the ground was completed.
behring's were made at the dam site
and along the canal line and test pits
yere put down along the line of the
canal. Field work was completed and
final. contract plans worked up.
The Buford- Trenton project is sit
uated on the left bank of the Missouri
river, close to the western boundary
of the state. It is proposed to irri-
gate this area by means of two pump
ing plants.
The Bismarck project, which like
the Buford-Trenton project, was APP
proved by the secretary of the interior
in November, 1904, lies in the vicinity
of Bismarck. The installation of two
pumping plants end the irrigation of
land with water raised from the Mis-
souri, river is the project contemplated
here.

In North Dakota, S27 square miles
of new area were geographically sur
veyed during the last fiscal year, 1884
miles of level were run, and 3S bench
marks were established. A party
under the supervision of Mr.. Robert
MuldrowS was engaged in completing
the mapping of the Wyndmere quad
rangle for publication on the scale of
1: $4,000, with contour interval of
20 feet.
Control for the Wyndmere Commute
quadrangle in Ransom, Richland and
Sargent counties, was completed by.
Mr.. Sledge Tatum, who ran 81 miles Of
traverse.
4 A geologic folio of the CasseltonA
Fargo quadrangle was issued, during
the year. The authors were Messrs.
@. NJ Hal, and D. E. Willard. A re-
port on the Ignite of North Dakota
and its relation to irrigation was made
by Mr.. Frank "A. Wilder.
Gaging stations for. the measure

Lawson's Odd Watch.

T. w. Lawson's $4,000 watch was
great curiosity with the westerners.
Every morning at $40 it strikes, again
it strikes at $3.50 and at 9:55 it makes
as much noise as general fire alarm
to warn it's possessor that the stock
market is about to open. At few
minutes before 3 p. M, just before the
market closes, it strikes again. Mr..
Lawson wears a unique watch chain.
l: goes about his neck, under his coat
and out through a button hole in his
vest. On every link is the figure of
different class of Gypsy, and the whole
chain represents very known Gypsy
type.
