FROM T0RR|O AFRICA
To FR|G|D OLD
DAKOTA
Alfred Man Has the Expert
ence Says Blockade is
Not so Bad.

It's. far call from fighting Beers
on Africa's coral strands to bucl1ing
billiards. in North Dakota. Having
run the gamut from the tropics to
the forty-fifth parallel, north latitude,
Edward H. Bramwell, now of Alfred,
N. D., late of his majesty's army, pre-
fers snow drifts as opposed to Boer
bullets and the Transvaal.
Besides" says Mr.. Bramwell. cen
ditions around Alfred, at least, have
not been quite as bad as pictured. We
have had plenty of; snow out there,
but there would have been little delay
to traffic had rotary snow p!ows been
available on our line
"The road had to use them else
where, and the result was more or
less of a blockade. The train that
brought me to Minneapolis was three
days making 1870 miles, and that ism t
going some Now that the stormy
weather has apparently let up, traffic
conditions should be in normal shape
this week."
Mr.. Bramwell is now engaged in
the real estate business at Alfred, and
is optimistic about the future of that
section of North Dakota. The town
now numbers about bakers dozen
of inhabitants, and its visible assets,
aside from land, are a hotel, post
office, a bank, a railroad station and
speak easy"
But this is only beginner, as the
town has just been born, and prom
Using future is being planned for it.
Richard Sykes, one of the empire
builders Of the northwest, owns the
town, but discredits rum shops, and
hot rebellious liquors are perforce
Struggled in.
Speaking of liquid refreshments, re-
minded Mr.. Bramwell of another AL
fred asset-a prolific mineral water
spring, which supplies water with
curative properties that promise to
rival those of the country's most ia
nous watering places.
Mr.: Bramwell saw service through
out the Boer war under Lord Paget,
with the Imperial Mounted Yeomanry
attached to Lord "Bcbs" Roberts
army, was wounded and narrowly es-
capped being taken prisoner on sever
al occasions.
He has since roughed it in Arabia
and Australia, and after trotting the
globe over, admits that the northwest
ern end Of Uncle Sans domain suits
him best--so much so that he intends
doing what few Englishmen do-swear
allegiance to the United States.

BY Young.-To repeal the section of
the ANTITRUST law which excerpts live
stock and produce in the hands of the
producer from the provisions of the
law. This Is the same bill which was
referred back to the committee in the
house.
By Johnson (McLean).-Exempts
from taxation all grain held for ship
ment in elevators.
BY Talcott.-Provides for the con-
solidation of school districts which
join each other but are in different
counties. Mr. Talcett also introduce
ed bill providing that where vacan-
cies occur in school boards and the
vacancy is not filled by the board in
thirty days, the state superintendent
may do so.
Third Reading Of Bills.
Senate bill number ~, which was
up for third reading and final pass
age, was severely scored by Senators
Purcell and Simpson, both claiming
that it was unconstitutional. The bill
makes the holding Of a government
license to sell liquor prima facia evil
dence of the violation of the prohibi-
ton law. After some discussion the
bill was referred to the judiciary COM
mittee.
s. B. No. u, amending section
5000, revised codes, defining Convey
ance" and purchaser" was passed.
s. B. 80, which provides that school
boards shall build fences around
school property while cattle run at
large and shall appropriate ten dol
lars per year for the planting of trees,
was passed.
s. B. GO, which prevents the adulter-
alton. misbranding and selling of adul-
terated stock foods was passed.
s. B. No. 142, introduced by John
son of Mclean, has for its object the
prevention of the annual outward
flow in grain in the spring, when the
elevators empty their bins to avoid
paying taxes on the grain. Very little
tax is paid by elevator companies on
grain in store under the present law
and the repeal of the tax will decrease
tax collections only nominal amount.
The heavy annual shipment of grain
in the spring lowers the price materi-
ally and works a hardship on the
farmer. 1t is thought too that if there
is no tax on stored grain, the eleva-
tors will soon build large storage ele-
vators in this state.

extension of city limits, 43, providing
for an amendment to the constitution
requiring railroads to keep general
Offices in the state; "a, relating to the
stopping of trains at all stations which
are county seats, were passed and the
motions made in each to reconsider
and laid on the table. :
H. B. lis which was introduced by
Mr.. Tufte, met another peculiar con-
dition. The bill is an amendment to
the antitrust law, and this law was
drafted two years ago by Representa-
tive Stevens, and a couple of sections
were inserted which We're taken adj
vantage of and the supreme court later
held the law unconstitutional. The
Tufte bill merely repealed the sec
ton upon which the law was held un-
constitutional. When the matter came
up Mr.. Stevens called attention to the
fact that the passage of the bill would
not cure the defeat, as the supreme
court had held the entire law un-
constitutional and the passage of the
bill would still leave it nullity. Mr..
Tufte stated that he was not aware
of that fact and the bill was recon-
mitted to the committee to pe-enact
the entire law.
H. B. 1S, which is the White anti
pass, reciprocal demurrage, two-cent
passenger rate and several other
things bill, raised quite discussion
and Mr.. Sorley was again defeated
on vote. Mr.. Stevens made the point
that this was method of railfoading
legislation which some of the men,
bers did not want, through the house;
that some unobjectionable features
were combined with many that were
80 that members were compelled to
vote for that which they did not want
or to vote against that which they did.
He moved that the bill be referred to
the committee of the Whole for con-
sideration, and on a rising vote the
motion was carried, several demo-
Gratis voting with the majority leader.
Senate Routine.
The senate held brief and some
what uninteresting session today. The
board of railway commissioners made
the report which was called for some
time ago and the same was referred
to the committee after the concluding
part of the report was read by the
secretary. Five hundred extra copies
of the report were ordered printed for
distribution.
Endorsed Roosevelt.
Senator Rice introduced a concur
rent resolution endorsing and approx
ing President Roosevelt's action in
discharging the colored troops at
Brownsville and censuring those who
have critized his action. The resplu-
ton was referred to the committee on
the judiciary.
Senator Cashel presented concur
rent resolution favoring the creation
of an international drainage board to
consist of four members, one each
from North Dakota, South Dakota,
Minnesota and Manitoba, whose duty it
would be to formulate plans for a
system of drainage for the Red river
valley and to recommend such plan
to the National government.
The following new bills were intro
duced:
BY Thatcher. Appropriation OF
| $75,2OO for Industrial School at Ellen
dale.
| BY Spoonhein.-To create perma-
nent board of equalization to consist
of three commissioners to be appoint

A NEW AND NOVEL
SOCIAL EVENT
WOOdtick Dance to Be Given
at FlOrence-First Event
of the Kind in the
History of the
World.

A social function, proba bly, the first
event of the kind in the history of the
world, will be given at Florence next
Saturday evening.
The affair has been heralded
throughout the valley by means of
posters which read as follows:
"Woodtick Dance. To be given in
Woodmer hall, Florence, Saturday
evening, June %, 1907. This dance is
for the purpose of raising funds to
burn brush and other necessary meas
ures to rid the west side of it's pest,
the Woodtick. Tickets, including sup
per, $1.5O."
The theory is now very generally
accepted that the so-called spotted
fever is caused by the bite of an in
fected woodtick. DIR. Ricketts, of
Chicago, has, indeed, demonstrated
this beyond doubt. The doctor is
spending the summer in Western Mon
tana continuing his Investigations in
quest of a remedy for the malady and
is very confident of ultimate success.
Last winter the legislature appropria-
ted $1,000 towards defraying the ex-
pense of the investigation.
The fever season is practically over
for this year as, coincident with the
disappearance of the woodticks at the
first approach of hot summer weather,
the malady subsidies.
