SECOND DISTRICT REPRESENTA-.
TION.

The apportionment bill which was
passed by the legislature is probably
as fair as could be made, certainly as
fair as could be expected in the limited
time allowed the conference commit
tee, which finally adjusted the differ
ences between the two branches of the
legislature during the last twenty-four
hours of the session. That the western
counties Jared so we'll is certainly due
to the fact that the present members
from that part of the state made fight
for that end. One of the hardest work.
ers in the interests of his constituents
in that particular was Representative
Adams of Towner county. At one time
the committee had his county attached
to Rolette as one district and in the
end both counties became senatorial
districts, each with one senator, while
Towner county secured two members
of the house and Rolette one. Repre-
sentative Adams should be given credit
for a large share of this change.
The only place where there was
manifest dissatisfaction was in giving
two representatives to the First dis
trict, while the Second, with more than
three hundred more population, Sc
cured but one This was not because
the representatives from the Second
were not awake and looking after their
interests. The bill went to the confer
ence committee of the two branches
late Thursday night, and if there was
any apportionment it would have to be
reported from the committee early on
Friday, which was the last day of the
session. The differences between the
two houses were so great that it was
feared nothing could be done. The
committee reported in the afternoon
of the last day of the session and there
was no time to rectify the error with
out defeating the whole bill, and the
members from the Second district
wisely decided to lose one member
rather than defeat the measure. 1t
was sacrifice and one which they
could ill afford to make, but they made
it in the interests of the entire state.
Had they have had more time after the
conference report was received they
would have been able to have secured
a far better arrangement for their dis
trict

Shame on TAYLOR.

1.aMoure County Chronicle)
With every session of the North Da-
kota legislature there Is cumulative
evidence of the fact that in the house
there is bunch of narrow minded. pin
headed asses who are out for IN
economy record at the expense Of the
newspapers Of the state. In the present
assembly bills have been introduced
along these lines. One proposes to do
away with the publication of the an
nual financial statements of school
treasurers. 1t costs each district an
average of three dollars to publish
these statements, and that is the
cheapest method than can possibly be
devised to give the taxpayers the In
formation which is rightfully theirs.
and at the same time safeguard their
interests through the medium of pub
licity Obvious TO these facts. the
two-for-a-cent legislators talk about
newspaper graft" 1t is this very
class of legislators which accepts rail-
road passes and cheerfully mulcts the
state out of thousands of dollars
through unnecessary adjournments. an
army of useless legislative employees,
and the like. Very few of this class
OF over-ripe economists and UNDER
done statesmen are found in the SEN
ate. for there, as a rule. the broader
and more liberal views obtain. When
the Chronicle considers what the news
papers have done for North Dakota !;
their unflagging and unrewarded eff
forts to build up the state; and when
it remembers that of no other business
enterprise are so many gratutious ia
vors asked or given, it can lay claim
to but little patience with the mongrel
watch dogs of the treasury" at Bis
marck.

REACTION AFTER BLOCKADE
st. Paul Pioneer Press Thinks Eastern
Jobbers Will Have Phenomenal
Year, Despite Snow Blockade.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press thinks
that st. Paul and other eastern jobbers
will do ten to twenty per cent more
business this year than ever before,
this despite the two months of idleness
caused by the snow blockade In this
state. The article:
Every concern which had men on
the road in North Dakota during the
snow blockade suffered in proportion
to the relation OF North Dakota to the
size of the rest Of the territory it sup
plies. One grocery house had eleven
men doing practically nothing during
the blockade. They could not make
their towns, nor could the firm get
goods through.
During these months the country
merchants had an excellent opportu-
nifty to clean out their stock. Sales
men now reporting say that they are
surprised to find the depleted condi-
ton of many of the stores in the Da-
kotas. While the snow prevented the
buyers from coming to town, still there
was no new stock coming in, and this
resulted in condition that made more
than one merchant give the salesman
an order for all sizes in his line. This
fact has swelled the amount of sales
credited to the past few weeks. Since
the towns in the Dakotas have been ac-
cessible to statesmen the orders have
been rolling in at such rate that
many houses are thirty days behind on
orders.
How large factor these hold-over
orders from January and February
should be in the general increase In
the March sales can be determined
only from comparison OF sales by
states. 1t has been found, however,
that firms that do little business in
North Dakota report as heavy in
creases in their general trade as those
firms that deal largely in the Dakotas,
so that the element of error in judging
from the past few weeks sales that
this year will exceed by one-third is
not large. It is true also that firms
estimating their business by goods
shipped say that the one-third increase
holds good for January and February.
Farmers Are Prosperous.
Collections, as we'll as sales, were
poor in the Dakotas during the first
two months. Collections still continue
poor, while sales are going up with a
bound. There is no reason for unrest
in this, however, as the farmers have
the grain, but are unable to turn 1t
into cash. 1t is estimated by one who
has access to reports on crops over the
northwest that fully one-half of the
wheat crop of last year is still in the
hands of the farmers.

Mayville has already felt the effects
of the farmers union. The mill in that
city could not get wheat enough to
keep them running and were compelled
to send to Hatton for supply. This.
it is claimed. is due to the farmers in
that community holding their wheat
until such time as they could get a
respectable price for il method adj
vocated by the Farmers Society Of
Equity. Thus. it can readily be seen

Beauty of striped Effects.

The striped materials that are having
a vogue just now are being made UP in
a variety OF striking ways-some of
them distinctly artistic. One charming
model, showing gray and green stripes
so ingeniously arranged that from the
waist to the hips only the darker color
is visible. while below. where the
plaits hang free, the full beauty OF the
striped effect comes into view. The
front of the waist is draped in surplice
fashion, with the plaits arranged at
the shoulders and waistline to match
the skirt, and opening out over the
bust to display the lighter stripes. A
similar effect is produced in the man
DARN sleeve, beneath which is an I'M
dersleeve Of lace, the ensemble being
completed with chemisette and
standing collar of lace to match. This
method of arranging a striped fabric
is especially becoming to a stout fig
ure, the dark color as the waistline
having an appreciably diminishing in
