For example. that much berated
"gerrymander."
Mr.. Roosevelt looked upon this
from the standpoint OF practical
man. lie remarked that II might be
bad but Is could not be as bad as
some with which he had had expert
encc in New York, and had had
knowledge oi In other northern re-
publican states. Nor did he express
any objection to the initiative and
referendum clause in the constitution
that feature which the unfortunate
raft attacked and then fled to Asia,
whore the people don't take any
part In governing themselves. My in
formant tells me-we can't quote
the president directly, you know
that Mr.. Roosevelt approves the
system of direct legislation for cit
les, counties and states, but fears
it is too cumbersome for the ma
tion.
Nor did the president, in this in
teryiew, express any OF that hostility
To the constitutional prohibition OF

Cold Weather

The following weather report for the
month of January and the first week of
February is furnished us by the kind
ness of f. G. Warner the official obser-
yer. The minimum markings of the
first week in January are estimates only,
as the registering part of the thermome-
ter was out of order at that time. The
first column shows the highest and the
second the lowest reading of the Their
mometer for the date indicated. The
figures will show one good reason for the
coal famine in this locality. Out of the
80 days of the record there was no day
that the thermometer got above zero for
all the twentyfour hours. On twenty
one different days the thermometer
never got above the zero mark at all.
This last week in February seems to
have been the record week of the win
ter for steady and extreme cold though
the week following Christmas was about
as bad. The record is not remarkable
as to extreme minimum temperature but
it is extraordinary for the steady cold
all through the different weeks. The
total snow fall so far is about 70 inches.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1907-02-08
The Reason Why

just word to some people who are
not acquainted with the geographical
conditions of North Dakota. In reading
accounts of the shortage of fuel and
coal as well as other necessaries of life
make the distinction. The Red river
valley is an old settled country with
railroads running in close proximity to
each other and that very few farmers
are more than six miles at most from a
railroad station. In this section of the
state there has been no real shortage OF
fuel or provisions this winter. Stocks
by dealers have at times run low in
many if not most of the towns but no.
body has actually gone freless, as there
have always been neighbors sup
piled who could and would lend to those
who have run out. On the other hand
there is great extent of country in the
western part of the state whose wants
are supplied by branch lines of railroad,
and in places there are large gaps OF
country between. Out there much OF
the land has been settled only year OF
two and the towns are all new. In these
localities the conditions are such that
occasionally there has doubtless been
some actual suffering by insulated farm.
ers too poor to buy large Quantity OF
fuel at time or to lay in large stock
of provisions. Furthermore the article
in another column will show that this is
an exceptional winter1n many respects
and we have not had SO much srow fol
ten years previous.

Back From the South

Mr.. Chas. Full who has been absent
for some time attending the National
convention of Retail merchants at Dial.
las, Texas, and who was adelegate from
the North Dakota branch was one OF
the passengers who were caught at
Grafton on the N. P. by the blizzard
He and Mr.. Short were there at the
time of the accident but were not pres
ent at the place. After waiting some
days the N. p. management sent the de-
layed passengers around on the Great
Northern by way of Crookston and ST.
Vincent. Mr.. Full says that the N. P.
folks took excellent care of them while
waiting and paid for their meals at the
Grafton hotel. Mr.. Full says he enjoy
ed the trip south very much and is glad
that he went. He mentions particular.
ly grand and cordial receptions at st.
Louis, Little Rock, Hot Springs and
other points. At Dallas an exciting in
cident was added to the experiences OF
the patty which was not so enjoyable.
Two men one merchant of the city and
the other travelling man got into an
alteration and the merchant shot down
the travelling man in almost cold blood,
and the victim died in two days. This
occurred in the office of the hotel where
Mr.. Full and others we're staying and
in their presence. Mr.. F. don't like
Dallas as we'll as some of the other
points visited.

TerriabIy Frozen

Swift Current, Sask.-A young home
steader named Stull, living about Is
miles north of Gull Lake, was severely
frozen on January 18th, and is in pre-
carious condition. 1t is supposed that,
being at the stable when the blizzard
started, he made for his shack, which is
about 40 rods away, and becoming be-
wildered in the storm, got lost. His
companion had gone to Gull Lake that
morning, and did not return till Satur-
day. So that Stull was not missed un-
til then. On returning his mate made a
search but being unable to find Stull he
went to Gull Lake and gave the alarm.
A searching party was at once organic
led. They found Stull's tracks and q
handsaw that he had stuck in the snow,
the tracks showing plainly that he was
lost. The search was kept up but with
out success, as the tracks crossed and re-
crossed each other. On Tuesday man
came to Gull Lake, and informed the
lsearchers that Stlll had wandered "a

capped with but slight bruises. The in
jured men were taken to the Deaconess
hospital at Grafton and later to their
homes in Grand Forks.
The snow pillow and two of the engines
are mass of wreckage while the third
engine was not SO badly damaged. The
snow pillow was completely reversed and
two Of the engines thrown to the right
and one on the left of the track.
The wreckage was c.eared up yester-
day but there will be no train from the
south before late tomorrow or possibly
Sunday, owing to delay in bringing the
rotary snow pillow from the Fergus Falls
line, and which is the only implement
that will remove the packed snow.
AS stated last week, the trains were
beginning to run fairly regular, when
the northbound passenger Friday got
stuck at Cashel, from snow drifting in
the cut. That evening the second biz
zard of the season set in and lasted un-
til Saturday, which piled the snow hard
er than any time this year.
This is the longest blockade in the
history of the NortherHP Pacific here-ten
days without wheel turning this side
of Grafton. But we are not isolated, for
we get our daily mails over the Great
Northern Flyer across the river every
morning, and two freight engines that
have been stalled here during this
railroad vacation, on their daily exer-
cises in the yards keeps fresh in memory
the sound of trains.

AS the railways gave out that the
lines were clear, the legislature adjourn
ed in hurry on Thursday to get home
to see how things were and that their
constituents had not frozen to death for
want of fuel. Besides this there were
still few ladies who had been waiting
ever since the inaugural ball at Bis
marck for chance to get back home.
So they all started for home and were
all caught in the blizzard of the follow
ing day. Messrs. Wexford and Ganssle

right but many of the others waited in

legislature was to convene again on

The regular statement of the Mer-
chants Bank published in this issue and
makes the usual good showing. In
many of the banks of the western part
of the state this year they have been
hard up for funds as so many of the
farmers have not been able to sell their
wheat and consequently they and the
business men have been compelled to
borrow largely to keep themselves go
ing. A short crop has made money
somewhat scarce in this locality but
most of the wheat has been brought to
market as there has been no greatshort-
age of cars on the N. P. line in this
county.
