What does Congress think about pro-
hibition? Last week the House voted
down a proposition to provide prohibi-
tion in the District of Columbia, and a
few hours later refused to allow the
establishment of canteens in soldiers
homes!
The infamous Thaw trial in New
York is followed closely by most WASH
ingtonians. There is altogether too
much of the same sort of thing going
on here at home, and it is to be hoped
that the exposes brought out at that
trial will be the means of producing
some good results.
There have been fewer stories afoat
this winter of organized lobbies than at
any time within the past ten years.
But there is one thing to bear in mind:
Rumors of powerful lobbies are usually
started by the lobbiests for another
measure than the one announced.
While attention is directed at one OBJ
jective point the "dirty work" is put
through at another.

Judge Goss Scores Police.

At Minot one day last week Judge
Goss summoned before him Chief Ha-
gen and the entire police force of the
county town and gave them whole
some lecture as to their duties with re-
ference to arresting ''blind piggers. !"
The Judge said in part:
"There is no excuse for the existence
of blind pig in the city and Iwant to
say that if hereafter it develops that
there is blind pig in the city which has
been running for any length of time,
this court will have to investigate as to
why it is running and who is response
ble.
''You have been under a misappre-
hension as to your duty by reason of a
recent ruling Of a court in another
county that you must have warrants
before you arrest blind piggers. I
can see no reason for such ruling.
You do not need warrant.
"The blind pigger' is just the same
as any other criminal. You can arrest
him Just the. same as if he were a coun-
terfeiter who is operating in this city.
There is little fear for an action for
false imprisonment. These blind pig
gers are towards at heart and dare not
lay open their acts to investigation by
the courts By bringing such an action.
When you detect man selling IN
ff1xicatino iinI1nr arrest him and bring

conditions existed long, and only oc-
casionally sled loads Of mail were haul
ed through the drifts from Mason City
to Algona. At one time Governor Car
penter was appealed to to force the
company to clear the road. In the
course Of time the road was cleared,
and there were piles of snow on either
side of the rails which completely shut
out all view of the landscape from the
passengers.
In one winter since this writer set
tied in Algona upwards of twenty peo-
pie, in this section, were frozen to
death, most of them being lost in the
blizzards. Not merely the severity of
the weather was to be feared, but the
extreme poverty of people now wealthy
added it's discouragements. A lady
who came here in the later sixties as a
bride and who was dressed in the height
Of fashion, noticed that at reception
given by the settlement all the men on
the opposite side of the room were bare
footed, and the best and leading people
of the county were there.
The climate of this section has been
greatly modified in recent years. The
blizzard has disappeared. It has been
banished to distant frontiers, to be
again banished to solitudes beyond.
Average temperatures have been much
reduced. AS the Dakotas plant trees
and cultivate the soil the same changes
will take place there. The growing be
lief is justified that the whole north
west was destined to be the home Of a
great people and Of great wealth.
Settlement may halt for time or may
even be swept backward, but only to
set forward again like the irresistible
tides which obey the purpose of Him
who sits in the heavens.

them, just as the farmers of Iowa were

them, just as the farmers of Iowa were
surprised not many years since to have
almost their entire corn crop covered
up by deep snow in October so that
they could not pick it till Easter.
Likely the hard winter will give a set
back to the enthusiasm Of some who
were figuring on going up there this
spring. It ought to have the effect to
prevent the influx of unprovided wo-
men and others unable to cope with
emergency in an :inhospitable cline.
1t may eventually be a good thing by
keeping out of the country all but the
hardy and the capable. 1t needs men
and women of the kind of stuff to make
the bone and sinew of great common
wealths.
But as to the test of the Dakotas, we
incline to the belief that it is yet to
come. If the country has enough rain
fall it will continue to grow in wealth
and population in the years to come. If
the people plant the timber they will
likely get the rainfall.
People forget that this state of Iowa
has been redeemed from the dominion
of the blizzard. In the first place the
early settlers had precisely the same
impression of the country when they
came here that the Dakota settlers had
of that region when they hunted claims
there. They came here just the same
and most of them staid.
Iowa people whose fathers endured
hardships in this state equaling any,
thing reported from the Dakotas are
saying that this winter settles the case
in those states. 1t doubtless will in
the minds of many, but it probably will
not much change the trend of settle
ment. It did not for Iowa and Mime
sofa. 1t did not for Wisconsin nor Me-
braska. There is no overwhelming
reason why it should. The early set
tiers all remember how the entire Ing
ham family came so near freezing to
death on trip from Estherville to AL
gona that their preservation was ac-
counted an accident or an interposition
of Providence, perhaps that the present
editor of the Register and Leader
might furnish brains for the progress
sives.
It is we'll remembered that in this
garden spot of the world, not to
mention the fifties and sixties of the
pioneer settlement, when there was
not railroad in the country, we had
winters to match anything that is re-
ported now from the northwest. In
the seventies the one railroad through
this county was blockaded for months
at time. There was great indigna-
ton against the Milwaukee when such

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
Freezing Of RatcIiffe Family Near Estevan
Cruel Fabrication and Party Who
Started Story viii Be Severe
Iy Dealt With.

The report of finding four members
of the Ratcliff family, mother and
three chillren, frozen to death in their
shack some 40 miles from Estevan,
turns out to be without the slightest
foundation in fact, and Maj. McAlpine's
informant is now sought by the Cana
dian authorities, who will deal severely
with him if apprehended. Geo. Nc
Kenzic handed The Tribune on Monday
copy of the Toronto Globe of the 9Th
of February, from which we take the
following, which appeared i'll that paper
from Estevan under date of Feb. "a:
Sergeant H. Lett has returned from
most hazardous trip Of about 120
miles to investigate the story of the
freezing to death of the entire Ratcliff
family. He often had to use a shovel
to excavate the horses in order to make
the Ratcliff's home. On knocking at
the door he was received by Mr.. Rat
cliff himself, who on being questioned
stated that he never heard the news of
the freezing, and produced his wife and
three fat, red, roundfaced northwest
erns. They all are comfortable and
have lots of provisions and fuel to last
till navigation opens.
Constable McAlpine could not give
the sergeant his bearings of the home,
nor 20 with him.
Peter Fossom has the credit of start
ing the false alarm, stating that he
| went to Ratcliff's with letter, and
found them all frozen. He is now in
the States and may never be got at.
One Cousins and Rookson were stay
ing at Ratcliff's during the severe wea-
ther to save fuel and etc. The former
left on january 23rd for Sandoff's
ranch on snowshoes, but was advised
not to start, as the weather was threat
ening. He started out. and in an hour
or two a storm came on and he has not
been heard of since.
