BY Il. c. Snyder.

Washington, D. c., March 14.-The
recent decision of the Supreme Court
of North Dakota in the case of State,
ex rel, Dennis Dorgan, petitioner, vs.
G. ]. Fisk, known as the Drainage
Case, has most important bearing
upon the efforts that are being exerted
here to secure national aid for drain
age in the Red River valley and the
effort which will probably be exerted
in the next state legislature for the
passage Of a more comprehensive
drainage law.
The Supreme Court decides eXpl:c-
lilly, that the local drainage board in
the case at issue, was exercising func-
tions in their nature judicial when it
assessed the benefits to lands in the
drainage district established by it.
This would appear to recognize the
authority of the state legislature 70
delegate judicial power to an execu-
tive board without any question as to
whether such board possesses judicial
qualifications or not. In the capitol
commission decision, the court decided
that the legislature had no authority
to delegate legislative powers to an
executive board; but it is not neces-
sary for the purpose of this article to
discuss the principles upon which,
these two decisions are based. 1t is
sufficient to say that the drainage de-
cision will be most helpful to those
who may hereafter be called upon to
enact law establishing a single
drainage district in the Red River val
ley. Under existing law there is au-
thority for the establishment of num-
erous drainage districts by local drain
age boards appointed by County Com
missioners.
Members of the delegation here,
who are seeking to secure legislation
under which the Agricultural depart
me1t may construct drainage works
in the Red River valley, are fortified in
their efforts in this behalf by the
drainage decision of the Supreme
Court. because under this decision
there is unquestioned recognition OF
the right of a drainage board to as
sess the benefits to the land proposed
to be drained and such drai age board
cannot be interferred with in any

ing. However, it was established that
there is constantly accumulating evil
dence that a plot to produce a coun-
ter revolution in the hope of sweeping
away reforms outlined in the mani
festo of October 30 had its origin in
the court cabal. The conspiracy in
cludes General Trepoff, commandant
of the palace, Gen. Count Ignatieff, M.
Stichincky, former chief adjutant of
the interior department, Count Sher-
ometieff, noted reactIonary, and Gen.
Prince Putiatin, who are said to be
utterly reckless of consequences. The
plan is to provoke riots and massacres
of Jews and revolutionists over as
wide an area as possible, in order to
justify still more: terrible repressions
and thereby prove to the emperor that
the people are not ripe for any sort
of self-government. 1t is a desperate
game but it is backed by many of the
provincial authorities.

RUSH OF APPLICANTS
FOR RAILWAY STOCK

A..ociated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Canton, March 14.-The rush of ap-
plicants for shares of the Canton-
Hankow railway, issued today, was SD
great that the streets were blocked
with Chinese and soldiers were called
out to maintain order.
The concession of the Can
ton-Hankew railroad was origin
ally American. Eventually the
originally American. Eventually the
Chinese government cancelled the
rights and concession of the corpora
ton, paying to the owners as an in
demnity the sum Of $6,750.O00. The
road was to be about 1900 miles long,
with an extension to Pekin of about
1,400 miles, making total of $500
miles. The acquisition of the con-
cession by China came about through
the opposition. Of the Chinese to the
enterprise being In foreign hands. The
hostile feeling was not confined to the
ignorant classes but was shared By
Chinese capitalists who were interest
ed In the earnings OF Chinese railways.

too much to be expected. Under the
existing law local drainage commits
sions are appointed by the county
commissioners and they assess the
benefits and fix the amount necessary
to do the work. In the prosecution of
their duties they meet with all man
ner Of difficulties. Local fueds are en-
gendered and community oppositions
are brought out By the time the
drainage board brings their case 10
the county commissioners with a re-
quest that county bonds be issued the
community is stirred from center 10
circumference. Everybody is protest
ing against everybody else. There is
great diversity of opinion and the con-
troversy is carried into all of the local
political contests of the county. Doubt
less the local drainage boards have
done the best they could, and yet there
are few people who are satisfied with
their efforts. 1t is with all Of these
conditions in view that the legislation
which is being urged here was pro-
posed, because it must be apparent 70
all that when great comprehensive
drainage system is to be carried out
there must be in charge of it some ole
person responsible for it's success or
failure. This responsibility, it will be
conceded no doubt, can safely be
lodged in the hands Of the secretary of
agriculture who, acting under national
authority or in conjunction with sim
gle drainage board sufficiently forti-
fled by state law, will not be beset or
hampered by local disagreements and
contests. This therefore is the para
mount issue in the drainage matter.
The entry of the. secretary of agri-
culture upon the scene would have
wholesome effect in allaying per-
sonal grievances among those seeking
beneficial results. While it may give
rise to the thought that this national
supervision tends towards paternal-
ism, nevertheless it would bring re-
pose and peace and quiet to the COM
munities interested. 1t would do more
than this-it would secure satisfac-
tory results because whatever the ma
ito al government puts its hand to,
although the cost may be accelerated,
yet the possibility of having the work
done as it should be done is assured
from the beginning.

MANY MINERS GATHER
FOR BIG CONFERENCE

indianapolis, Ind, March 14.-Prac-
tically all the delegates are here for
the national conference of the United
Mine Workers of America, which will
be called to order by President John
Mitchell in Tomlinson hall tomorrow
morning. No definite idea seems to
exist among those already on the field
as to just what action the conference
is likely to take in regard to the strike
proposition. President Mitchell will
make to the delegates full report uf
the recent New York conference with
the operators and ask that the de-
mands framed by the Indianapolis con-
vention last month be again carefully
considered. If any changes are de-
cided upon they will be presented to
the joint conference with the opera

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
WORK IN PAST
SEASON
Bulletin Issued By Department
Shows Progress Made in
North Dakota. -
By e. c. Snyder.

Washington, D. c., March 1.-THE
geological survey has issued a bulle-
tin regarding the work this bureau OF
the government has accomplished dur
ing the past fiscal year. In referring
to North Dakota the officials of the
survey say:
"In North Dakota, s27 square miles
of new area were geographically sur
veyed during the last fiscal year. ss4
miles of levels were run. and 80 bench
works were established. A party
under the supervision of Mr.. Robert
Muldrow was engaged in completing
the mapping OF the Wyndmere quad
rangle for publication on the scale of
1,125,O0O. with a contour interval of
20 feet.
Control for the Wyndmere .30-min-
ute quadrangle in Ransom, Richland.
and Sargent counties, was completed
by Mr.. Sledge Tatum. who ran 81 miles
of Traverse.
"The coal mines of North Dakota
were visited by Mr.. M. R. Campbell
as member of the committee to con-
duct coal tests at the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition.
"a geologic folio of the Casselton-
Fargo quadrangle was issued during
the year. The authors were Messls.
C. NJ. Hall and D. E. Willard. A re-
port on the Ignite Of North Dakota
and it's relation to irrigation was made
by Mr.. Frank A. Wilder.

ment of streams were maintained BY
the photographic branch at Stevens

Broncho, Medora, Williston, Bismarck,

investigations of the underground
and artesian water conditions in the
Red river valley were made by Prof.
d. Il. Willard, with view to the pre-
paration of general report on the
underground waters of the state.
Material was also obtained for a spec
ial report On the area of the Wahpe-
ton quadrangle.
Attention has been concentrated ON
the possibilities of reclaiming 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 is
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.
Borings were made at the dam site
and along the canal line and test pits
were 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. 1t is proposed to irri-
gate this area by means of two pump
ing plants.
"The Bismarck propect, which like
the Buford- Trenton project, was ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior
in November, 1904, lies in the vicinity
of Bismarck. The installation of two
pumping plants and the irrigation OF
land with water raised from the Mis-
souri, river is the project contem-
, plated"

manner through the process of in
junction unless assailed for fraud or
other grounds for equitable interfer-
ence." So that if the legislature shall
pass law establishing one drainage
district in the Red River valley and
the drainage commissioners appointed
under such law shall proceed to assess
the benefits, they cannot be interfered
with in such a manner as to prevent
the collection Of the moneys as other
taxes are collected. This being the
case, all possible obstruction to state
authority in drainage matters would
appear to be removed.
/, Ii the bill, which has passed the SEN
ate and is now before the public lands
committee of the house, should become
law there would seem to be no diff
ficulties in the way as respects the
authority of the secretary of agricul-
ture to proceed with the drainage
works. Indeed, under the courts de-
cision it is more than likely, should
the Hansbrough-Gro drainage bill
become law, that the president of
the United States would direct the
secretary of agriculture to proceed
with the work even though the state
legislature should not enact addi-
tional drainage legislation.
1t is contended here that the ques-
tion of financial assistance is not the
overshadowing issue in the drainage
problem as it is well understood that the
people of the Red River valley counties
are amply able to furnish the money
with which to drain their own lands
The controlling issue is whether drain
age operations can be successfully
carried on by boards provided for un-
der existing law. Events thus far
would tend to confirm the opinion of
those familiar with the subject that If
the local boards can do the work they
have not made much progress in that
direction and the reason for this ap-
pears to be quite conclusive.
1t is unfortu aately true-especially
in these strenuous and hysterical times
when everybody appears to be pros
porous and fullhanded and yet most
unhappy and Observation-Disclosures the
furor of local strife is so great such a
thing as harmony on the part of local
authorities, such as would insure the
