the rotten timbers had been discovered

Department Of Agriculture and Labor.
North Dakota is, practically, purely
an agricultural state, comparatively
new and rapidly developing. The de-
partment of agriculture and labor
should be all the name implies.
Through it publicity should be dissem-
mated in various ways, giving statis-
tics and information concerning our
advantages and resources in detail.
Experience of other agriculture states,
especially those of Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin and Minnesota, has demon
strated that increase in real estate
values is proportionate to increase in
our population. This department
prior to this administration has not
been especially active. Two years ago
the legislature appropriated 100000
for promotion of immigration. With
this fund during 1905, fine exhibits
were made at the state fairs of Min
nesota, Illinois and Indiana, besides
distributing a great amount of liter
ature and maps, and advertising in
important daily papers of Minnesota,
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin.

illustrated magazine of several thous-
and copies each month, giving prizes
for the best article relating to each
county by the local papers. I recon-
mend the continuance of this appro-
priation, believing ii to be for q
worthy cause.

Bismarck, ~ D., Jan. 9-The fol-
lowing is the address. complete, OF
Governor John Burke, delivered TO
the legislature this afternoon in joint
session.:
To the senate and the house of repre-
sentatives:
The constitution makes it my duty
to recommend to you at this time, at
the outset of your labors, certain
measures which l may deem expedient,
and in accordance herewith l recon-
mend:--
The enactment of a primary election
law, or an amentment to the present
primary election law, so as to make It
apply to elective officers in both state
and county.
More than two years ago the people
of this state through their different
political parties, demanded the enact
ment of the primary election law, and
two years ago the legislative assembly
atthe 1905 session did pass a primary
election law; but, because of the fact
that it did not apply to state and
judicial officers, it wholly failed 10
meet the demand Of the electors, who
again in the summer of 1906 demanded
in their different political conventions
a primary election law, applicable alike
to all elective officers.
A resolution favoring the enactment
OF such a primary law was adopted
in both democratic and republican
state conventions, and each party Went
before the people OF this state pledgau
to the enactment OF such primary alec-
ton law. In view Of the almost unau-
inous sentiment in favor of Il primary
election law in this state. it is our
plain. simple duty at this session to
give the people Il primary election law
that will enable them TO go to the polls
on primary election day and vote for
the nomination for all elective state
and county officers. In this connection
| might also call Your attention to
the growing sentiment in the state
in favor OF a nOn-partisan Judiciary
and school officers. One OF the poll
teal parties recommends in its plat
form that the names OF the judges OF
the supreme and district court, the
name Of the state superintendent and
the county superin1endents of schools
be placed upon a ballot without party
designation, and the election for such
officers be held at Il different time
than that upon which the general
election is held. The state superin-
tendent. in his recent biennial report.
has made similar recommendation in
reference to county superintendent.
The purpose OF such a law would be TO
take the judiciary and the schools
out of politics, and no such position
would then come to anyone as a re-
ward for political services, but rather
On account of special fitness and quail
ifcations. and believing as do that
the enactment OF such Il law is in the
interests CT beth the judiciary and the
school, | therefore heartily recommend
it to your most careful and most cons
cienticus consideration.

The Pigeons London Eats,

\ description of the manner in which
pigeons are brought over from Italy to
the London market is unpleasant read
ing, especially for those who are in the
habit of eating the birds. During the
journey, which occupies nearly three
days, the pigeons are closely packed
in crates and only once fed. The feed
ing takes place when they reach Paris.
BY that time a number are dead. These
are removed, and the survivors are
fed, the birds being too young to feed
themselves, "by men taking soft food
into the mouth, opening the beak and
blowing it into the gullet." A day or
so later pigeons. which are imported
ut the rate of 5000 to 10000 a week,
are served up as dainty dishes for our
consumption After this l imagine
that many people will cease to eat
pigeons in any form unless assured
that the birds do not come from Italy.

he contemplated its destruction at some

A Chinese SOIpn on.

Two Cinnamon, brothers, we'll adj
vanced in years, quarreled over a piece
of land which they had jointly inherit
ed from their father and went to law.
The native magistrate heard the testi-
mony on both sides and determined
that both were wrong and both right,
according to the different points of
view. Therefore, instead of rendering
a judgment in favor of either, he order
ed that both be locked up in a cangue
with their heads fastened face to
face and kept there until they settled
their quarrel. The cangue is a sort of
cage in which prisoners are placed
with their necks locked into a hole in
a board 1t resembles somewhat the
stocks which were used for the pun
ishment Of malefactOrs III Olden times.
When the brothers were placed in the
cangue, they were both very stubborn
and indignant, but toward the end of
the second day they began to weaken
and on the third day reached a salts
factory settlement and were released.
