AGAIN UP TO GOVERNOR.
Itemized Appropriation Asked For Dickinson Ex-
pertinent Station as Passed After the Veto
No Exhorbitant Requests.

After Gov. Burke's veto of the Dickin-

Senator Simpson, by unanimous consent,
was allowed to introduce Senate Bill 32o,
providing for the proper maintenance,
erection of suitable buildings and pur-
chase of appliances for carrying on and
enlarging experimental work in connec-
ton with agricultural products and ma
tive and other grasses and forage pro-
ducts at the Dickinson experiment sta

A Square Deal

We give, in substance, a letter from
w. A. earns, Jr., Of Marshall, which
tells of the condition of affairs regarding
taxation, elective franchise and schools
in the unorganized counties. .,
At the present time and for the past
twenty years citizens have been victims
of taxation without representation or the
right to vote in these unorganized coun-
ties.
This is contrary to the rights of Amer
ican citizens in the United States or to
the constitution of the state of North
Dakota. The citizens are not only de-
prived of the right to vote but are also
barred from holding any Office in the
state.
The matter of schools is the most de-
plorable. Many people living in the un-
organized counties are not able to en-
ploy teachers for their children and the
children are unfortunately deprived of
what will be most needed in later life, a
good education.
This one condition ought to be suhi-
cient to warrant some action, either by
the state or the counties to which such
territory is attached, that all citizens of
the state may have equal rights. regard
less of residence.

VALUABLE LAND
Hettinser County Dirt
Sells At $21 Per Acre.

Emanuel Barth of Mott was in Dick
inson Wednesday. Mr.. Barth has Just
sold 300 acres of railroad land adjoining
Mott to William H. Brown & Co. at S21
per acre. He purchased this land four
years ago at s1.4o per acre and the taxes
have amounted to almost nothing, being
in unorganized territory. Mr.. Barth re-
tains his homestead. The sale is very
satisfactory both on account Of the cash
returns and as indicating faith in the
future development of Hettnger county
when land firm pays $21 per acre for
land to sell again.

Queen City Of the Plains.

Anyone who has visited Dickinson in
recent years must become impressed
with the importance of the place as a
business center, and none can leave it
without full appreciation of the push
and energy of her people.
For many years best known as the
center of the "Cow Country" the city
has become the metropolis of a great
agricultural region which is expanding
and developing by leaps and bounds.
The vast incoming wave of immigration
that has spread over the fertile prairies
surrounding the city has met with a
gracious welcome from the business
interests of Dickinson which have been
quick to realize and improve the new
conditions constantly arising from vast
country awakening from the somnolence
of stock raising to the entirely different
mode Of life engendered by diversified
farming, which is now the predomi-
mating interest of that section.
Magnificent business houses, beautiful
homes and all that goes to make rich
and progressive city Dickinson pos
sesses; all done by class of people than
whom there are no better in the west.

FARES WELL.
New Apportionment Gives
Western North Dakota
Fair Representation In
LEGISLATURE.

As the bill went to the governor there
are AZ senatorial districts provided for
with o5 representatives.
Stark gets senator and three repre-
sentatives. Under some previous bills
Hettinger was included with Stark.
Hettinger will doubtless be organized
this spring and will two years hence be
granted senator and at least one rep
resentative, which will increase the rep
resentation from Western North Dakota.
AS the constitution provides for fifty
senatorial districts, the present appor.
tionment can stand and the yet morgan
lied counties be provided for.
Billings is placed in a broken district,
which includes Mercer and Oliver
farther east. This may not seem de.
sirable in some ways, but the district
gets two representatives.

inhabitable. We are getting tired Of
refurnishing the place and do not see
what we can do. The damage seems to
be done by neighbors, and we have rea-

welcome, and they make it as unpleas.

HUGHES HUGE LIFE.

Clovis Hughes, the French novel;
list, poet and duelist, who has Just
died, filed his 55 years of life With
sufficient excitement to make him
worthy Of special mention. One Of
his claims to distinction was that he
had engaged in a French duel which
resulted fatally-for the other man.
He was a tempestuous radical, and
was once suspended from the cham
Der of deputies for insulting re-
marks to the president, which did
not at all curb him. He wrote a
number of novels, poems and plays
in which he sought to spread social
istic propaganda, and he wrote a
pretentious five act drama in verse,
called Ole Sommeil de Danton''
("The Sleep of Danton''), which
was produced at the Opera C%omique.
His wife contributed her share of
excitement by killing a public off
cial in the palace of justice because
of an alleged insult. Before she
was tried she wrote and acted Ola
Vegeance de Nine. Clovis Hughes .
The play depicted her sensational
act and represented her as trium-
phantly exonerated by the court.
When her trial came the court did

SENT PLEA BY PET DOG
Wife's Pathetic Method Of Communal

Use of a pet dog as a messenger

IN the suit brought by Mrs. Ellen
Smith of New York city against
her husband, Frederick L. Smith,
Mrs. Smith brought the suit on
grounds of wilIful ~desertion.
The Smiths we're married in that
city April Is, 1908, and lived to-
gether until September s, 1908,
smith left home that day without
telling his wife he was going.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith owned a pet
dog. When Smith left home the
dog accompanied him. On several
occasions the dog returned alone to
the house. This led Mrs. Smith to
believe that her husband was not
far of. After failing in other
methods Of communicating with her
husband, Mrs. Smith wrote a let
ter and tied it to the dogs collar
with the idea that when the animal
returned to his master he would
receive the appeal from the deserted
wife. This strange method of win
ming back her husband proved UNI
availlng, so she brought suit for di-
vorce.

JOY in THESE REUNIONS
Family Anniversaries That Should Be
Considered a Sacred Duty by
All Members.

Thanksgiving and Christmas,
wedding days and birthdays, are oc-
2asions that should never be neglect
ed in the life of the family. Even
though the married children go far
from the early home, living in wide
ly separated neighborhoods, they
should make an effort to get to-
gether at stated intervals, and so
long as their parents live, the old
home, with its dear memories,
should draw them like a magnet to
its hearth, says a writer in the
Woman's Home Companion. Little
cousins ought to know one another
and be acquainted as brothers and
sisters are. When long trips across
the continent involve too great an
expense for frequent visits, there is
always the letter box on the street
corner or the rural free delivery,
and the post may be trusted to
carry love messages safely from
Maine to California, or around the
circle Of the globe. How the moth
er at home watches for tidings from
her married children, and how she
grieyes when for weeks and months
she never receives a word and feels
that she has dropped out Of the
daily lives of those for whom she
toiled and saved years ago.
Do you owe your mother a letter,
or a visit or a gift, you who are far
away from her now? Do not let
the sun go down until you pay that
debt of love. Do not forget that
although we may have many friends,
we can have but one mother, and
that no friend can be quite SO init
mate as she.

POCAHONTAS AS SHE WAS
Famous Character Of History Ranked
as One Of the Truly Great
of the Earth.

Pocahontas was born in the year
1895; her father, Powhatan, was
the lord and ruler of 80 tribes, OF
clans, of sayages inhabiting that
vast domain which was then called
Virginia, after the virgin Queen
Elizabeth, says a writer in the
Circle. His friendship was dearly
sought for by the white men, and
considered essential to the life and
success Of the colony. Like most
red men, he distrusted the whites
and their designs.
In England she was treated with
all the honor shown to royalty. Her
grace and charm seem to have won
all hearts, and she was at her ease
with the best in the land. She was
presented at Queen Anne's court, at
tended a ball given by the bishop of
London, and visited the Globe the
alter to see Shakespeare's Tempest"
In fact, she took on the garb and ac-
cessories of civilization with that
easy grace which belongs to the truly
great, and was as much at home in
court as in her own western soli-
tudes. But inwardly she seems to
have pinned for her own free, open
life of the forest, and when she
was about to return on the good
ship George, she sickened and died
at Gravesend, having lived long
enough, as one commentator has
said, to unite two hemispheres, two
races, two civilizations.

AT R A FAILURE.

David 7. Watson, one of the lead
ing lawyers Of the nation, an expert
in corporation law, was SO discour-
aged by his lack Of success during
his first year at law in Pittsburg
that he went back to school teaching
for a time. He returned to his pro-
fession when his preceptor died and
left him his library. From that
time on it was a speedy climb to the
top. From corporations he has re-
ceiyed many large fees. In one case
he received $25O,OOO. He seldom
appears in court in arguments.
Others do that after he prepares the
case.
