ago. 1t was said at that time that I
could not carry the county. l did but
little work-drove out and saw a few
of my farmer friend4 with whom 1
have done business for nearly 30
years, and asked them to support me
at the caucuses if they could con-
scientiously. The result was that
many Of the caucuses cast larger votes
than the precinct did at the previous
election. l secured the delegation
with little, If any opposition. Then
the democrats put up popular Scan
dinavian, who has been in the county
almost as long as have, and it was
said l would loose the county, car
ried it almost two to one. and when
1t is considered that IS per cent of
the voters of the county are Scandina-
vianr think l did pretty we'll. l am
not worrying about either Trail coun-
ty or North Dakota-if the people do
not want me for governor, | can re-
turn to my business, and be Just as
contented as If returned to Bismarck"
The remainder of the article is but
a repetition of the customary attacks
upon prominent men of the republican
party in the state. and the venom so
often demonstrated by the Winship Or
gan against Senator Hansbrough in
particular. This is interspersed in the
usual manner with the news that
H1llsboro Is nice city and prosperous.
that the governor has real pretty
home, nestled close to the banks of
the Goose river" etc.

SOCIETY THROUGHOUT THE
STATE.

Buxton Society.
Special Correspondence to TIE Exe,,.p
Times.
Inc past week has been an eventful
one In club work. The Town Musical
clu0 that meets every Monday even
ing elected officers for the new term
or six months beginning in NAV.
10 those who are living in the num-
erous small towns of this state. it
may be interesting to know how sis
ter town meets the situation of social
stagnation. The Town Musical club
Is for anyone and everyone, but be-
longs very especially to the Young
school girls who not only fill the offices
but constitute large number of it's
membership. The business of the So
ciety is conducted in a manner that
would do credit to any organization in
the state and out-at a good MANY
1t has been the writer's fortune to
attend.
Miss Anna Westoss, not quite six
teen years old, presides with the ut
most dignity and intelligence. "The
chair" is always addressed, and all
business is conducted in the most ap-
proved manner, according to parlia-
mentary rule. The work of the club
10 soilcu anu therefore interesting.
The first Monday Of each month is
given to musicale program. The
second Monday to a literary program.
Everything of course pertaining to the
subject of music. The, third Monday
to chorus practice, the fourth Monday
to the study of some famous opera
which is given in the form of story,
with often historical sketch In refer
ence to plot, music or composer. The
club makes its home in the music
room of Miss Reeve, where they meet;
as earnest and bright a group of
young women one can find anywhere.
They represent the future of the coun-
try. They stand for the great safe
guard of our state and nation. It
might be well for the young women
of our small towns to look upon their
lives in relation to circumstances a
little broader than those in which
many find themselves. This club pays
no membership dues or entrance fees
and every one is welcome to the circle
of its work.

Peroldlcity Of Earthouakes.

To what extent California is liable
to recurrence of great earthquakes
and how far the last upheaval, with
the accompanying readjustment of the
earth's crust, will tend to protect it
against similar disturbances in future
are questions which will engage the
attention of scientists for some time to
come. The whole subject is still more
or less in the field of speculation, but
recent observations do not bear out the
optimistic theory that one seismic dis
turbance In locality means a pro-
tracted period Of immunity there. The
settling of the earth's surface or dis
placement along the lines of faults
or fractures causes a readjustment
which may remain undisturbed for
long or short period. Meantime, Il
the region is one traversed by a line
of weakness in the earth's crust, minor
earthquakes may continue as before.
In Japan, where are more than 1000
shocks annually, there have been if
teen serious earthquakes since 1876.
including the great one in October,
1891 when 1000 lives were lost. Con-
corning the origin and periodicity of
these the government has been able to-
gain but little light. 1t mas discovered
that the earthquake origins" are ar
ranged in two systems, following given
lines. In the fact that seismic conVul-
sions are usually attended or preceded
by magnetic disturbances it has found
a promise that there may yet be dis
closed a means of diagnosing the
state of underground stress" Should
this prove true the imminance Of an
earthquake or the presence of condi-
tons favorable to one might conceiy-
ably be estimated, but at present this
Is mere speculation. The imperial
commission conducting these re-
searches, virtually accepting recurrent
shocks as a matter of course, is seek
ing more practical benefits by plan
ming earthquake-proof structures, the
best forms of bridges, chimneys and
piers.-Chicago News.

Brandon for a visit in Canada he
brings with him great deal of inter-
esting and definite information con-
corning the great railway activities
which are of mutual Importance to
the American and Canadian northwest.
In an Interview with Mr. Rooster
Tuesday he informed US that grade
work for the extension of this branch
is carried forward with all possible
energy on the Canadian side. Two
heavy steam shovels have been operat-
ed all winter on the Souris valley
grade. which will be some eighteen
miles long. This is the most difficult
grade between st. John and Brandon
and conservative estimates on it have
been placed at $1,125.000. The grade
is thrown up to a level with the up
land all the way, and it will be neces-
sary in some places to build trestles
100 feet high. The roadbed is being
constructed in the straightest, levelest
and best possible manner known to
modern engineering, apparently with
out regard to expenses. 1t would not
be possible to complete the road to
Brandon this year. but spur will be
run into Wanchope and trains will
enter Brandon over the Canadian
Northern from that point until the
main line can be completed. Mr..
Rooster asserts that trains from 'the
Cando branch" will enter Brandon be-
fore the snow flies. and this assertion
is further borne out by Messrs. ]. S.
Conyers and F. l.. Thompson of this
city, who are said to have inside in
formation.
Just before leaving Brandon two
weeks ago. Mr.. Rooster had a con-
versation with 500 engineer, and the
gist of the interview seems to indi-
cate that the 500 road has given up
the extension of the Egeland branch
along the present survey and will take
another route. The 500 has had a
gang of surveyors at work east of
that road bed can be constructed
through that region at much less ex,
pense than along the old survey. and
to much better purpose as will ap-
pear. The old survey throws the road
west of Rock lake parallel with the
Farmers line and across the boundary
into Laing's Vale 1.-THE source of the
Pembina river) and the Tiger hills, a
bad place for railroad building.
1t may be considered almost a GER
tainty that the Egeland branch will
be rebuilt along different survey
which will run nearly due north from
that town east of Reck lake and mid
way between the Farmers road and
the Munich branch. This will give the
500 a better territory and less ex-
pensive line of construction. The
Braumbauch branch was only rail-
road bluff anyhow. involving a few
paltry hundreds of thousands. which
can easily be made up by taking pos
session of the midway district"
The foregoing can be ventured only
as a pretty fair guess. but we believe
it will fall true. Wait and see.-
Cando Democrat.
