from the reclamation service, inter
ested in irrigation matters may pro-
per1y Investigate the projects now
under way on the Yellowstone below
Glendive and on the Missouri at Blu

ouri river packets was detailed to
meet the party at Glendive and con-
vey them down the river to the points
of interest, winding up at Williston
Saturday Captain I. p. Baker, man
ager, went to Glendive to take per-
sonal charge of the expedition, ac-
companied by Gen. E. A. Williams,
president of the North Dakota Irri-
cation association, to whom more
than any other person is due the Gre
dit of these projects. Mr.. Williams
was the prime mover, next to Hon.
Alexander Mckenzie in the initial
meeting at Bismarck, attended by
James 3. Hill and members of the re-
clamat1on service and largely through
his persistency has the North Dako-
to delegation at Washington and the
national administration turned their
attention to this state, which is con-
tributing so generously to the re-
clamation fund.

THE KING OF ANIMALS
Trappers. and Skin Experts Give This
Title to the Black Fox.

Trappers and Skin Experts Give This
Title to the Black Fox.
In the estimation of trappers and
scyageurs of eastern North America
as well as in the eyes Of the very rich
nobility of Russia and Siberia there is
only one king Of beasts, and the name
Of this beast is the big and radiantly
shining black fox, which roams over
the cold and barren hills that stretch
from east of the Penobscot river in
Maine, through New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia and, skipping the mouth
Of the St., Lawrence river, extend in
diminishing hummocks through west
ern Labrador and end in the hillocks
and Laurentian formations which sur
round Hudson bay. s
Those who seek the choicest and
most expensive furs known to man
and who will pay any price for what
they want must go to the bleak coast
line of eastern North America for
what they want and may have to wait
for years to secure pelts that will
match perfectly with other skins
which are to go toward making up a
set, for the black fox Of North Ameri-
ca-le reynard noir Of the French
hunters - wears the most valuable
overcoat of any animal on EARTH.
AS rule, about FIVE perfect pelts
from black foxes are captured every
year, and Of these three are bought by
the great Hudson Bay Fur company
or its tributary associations. Though
Maine alone furnishes more than 900
foxskins every year and though near
" 5000 active men spend most Of the
winter in trapping and poisoning foxes
and other animals for their furs, only
twice In the run Of twelve months
are the combined efforts Of these indi-
vidual hunters able to secure a black
fox. y
In no way except in color does the
black fox differ from its congener, the
red fox, whose pelt sells for $3.50, or
from the gray fox, whose overcoat is
valued at from $3.50 to $500, but when
ever hunter can secure a black fox
and remove its skin without marring
the fur he is as sure Of receiving from
$500 to $1,000 for his trophy as If he
had the money in his hand. Not only
Is every black fox pelt bought as soon
as taken, but dozen Russian noble
men have paid agents travelling in
North America all through the winter,
seeking out remote hillside farms and
abandoned logging camps, where 1t Is
possible that a shy and elusive black
fox may have been seen. Chicago Rec

in THE DEFENSE
OF REFERENDUM
HON. T.. a. uELAND ADDRESSES
HIMSELF TO THOSE coNsTi-
TON A'FRAlD CATS

In a recent issue Of the Norman
den, A. III. L. raises the objection to
the referendum amendment passed by
last legislative assembly, that the in
itiatfve applies equally to constitu-
ton amendments and laws, arguing
that the constitution is fundamental
and should not be easily changed. 1,
In answer to this it can be said,
that it requires more effort, more
publicity and more discussion to get
an amendment before the people
through the initiative than the leg
islature. Any amendment that is
adopted by the former method will
receive more consideration and its
meaning and Importance will be i'm
pressed more strongly on the con-
sciousness Of the people than if it is
proposed aby the legislature.
There are some paragraphs in the
constitution that are fundamental,
such as: That all political power is
inherent in the people; that North
Dakota shall be part Of the Union;
free religious worship; right Of trial
BY jury. etc. But no; one seriously
believes that this class Of consti-
tutional provisions would be affected
by the method Of proposing amend
ments, because the majority for re-
tanning them are Overwhelming.
Much that is in the constitution
however, lacks this fundamental char.
acter and at times additions are need
ed. OF this the seven amendments
already passed since we became a
state are proof. a large number of
the constitutional provisions define
and restrict the power of the legisla-
tive assembly itself and If a majority
Of the people were in favor Of fur
Their restricting or adding to the
power Of the lawmaking body they
should be able to do SO without ask
ing the consent of the legislature.
To have complete majority rule"
it is just as important to have the
power to change the constitution as
the laws. If direct legislation had
been in force in the past we might
have made use of the initiative on
three occasions: The Anti-Lottery
Amendment; the Australian Ballot
law and the Primary election law.
No good reason caF be given why the
initiative should not apply to the first
as well as the two last questions.
Experience in Switzerland, Oregon
and other states goes to show that
public opinion is not easily changed,
but stable and conservative. The con-
servatives Of Switzerland are among
the strongest supporters of the re-
ferendum, because it prevents the
radicals from going too fast. To IA
cilitate expression OF the popular will,
so that it can be known what the ma
jority want, promotes stability. To
hinder this expression results in
more violent changes, when the re.
strictions at times are swept aside.
