FINE LIBRARY FOR LAWMAKERS,

important Books Being Received by
the Legislative Reference Bureau.
The Legislative reference library has
lately received much valuable mate
rial. Much of this is in pamphlet
form, although few books are on.
such subjects as Taxation, Initiative
and Referendum, Nominating System
(Meyer), etc., have been added. A
good deal of material on taxation,
such as reports of state tax commits
sions and the like have been received
from the different parts of the coun.
try.
The very exhaustive report of the
commission appointed by Gov. Hughes
of New York in 1907 to investigate and
report upon the feasibility of adopting
the Torren's system of registration
land titles has come into the library
together with the law formed with the
commission. The minority report is
also printed, and presents very forci-
BILE the negative of this interesting
question.
Perhaps one of the most important
of the recent acquisitions of material
is book published by the National
Electric Light association of New
York. 1t contains the public service
commission laws of the states of Wis
consin, Massachusetts, and New York.
and a complete analysis of the three
which exhibits in convenient prox.
unity the section of all the laws deal
ing with the same topic. This analysis
enables one to compare the similar
section of all the laws in very short
time.
That the legislative reference idea.
is gaining in popularity appears from
the fact that communications from in
terested individuals in Iowa and Kan
sas have come to the reference libra
rian, Sveinbjorn Johnson, requesting
any useful information as to the work
CT organizing reference bureaus. The
practical value of the work of these
bureaus where they have been adopt
ed is responsible, it seems, for the
spread of the idea.

COMPILE DATA on SOIL SURVEYS
Crews That Have Been In Western
Part Of State Are Now at Bismarck
Making Out Their Reports.

Fart OF state Are Now at Bismarck
Making Out Their Reports.
Prof. D. E. Willard Of the agricul.
tural college returned to Fargo from
Bismarck, where he has been visiting
the soil survey crews that have been
working over the western part of the
state during the past summer, for the
department Of agriculture. Prof. Will
lard went to Valley City Friday even.
ing for the purpose of taking the
school teachers of Barnes county for
trip to the Spiritwood lakes in
Stutsman county to study the geo.
logical formation and the geographical
makeup Of North Dakota, but, owing
to the condition of the weather, the
trip was abandoned, and Prof. Willard
went back to Bismarck.
He said that all the survey crews
that have been studying the soil in
the western part of the state are now
all at Bismarck compiling the data
that was secured during the summer.
There were four field forces working
in the territories around Minot, Will.
liston, Dickinson and Bismarck, and
they practically covered the entire
part Of the state west Of the one hum
dredth meridian.
This survey is for the purpose of
assisting the department of agricul.
ture in its study of the so-called semi.
arid region which lies mostly be-
tween the one hundredth meridian and
the Rocky mountains and extends
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Cana.
dian border. The crews will finish
up compiling the data secured and
will then go to Western Texas, where
they will spend the winter in similar
work. They will return to the north
next summer, and will survey Eastern
Montana.

The Copenhagen court, which is ex-

Mr.. Alberti, the fallen minister OF
finance, is not making rapid progress.
MIR. Alberti is either very contrary or
else his memory has failed him, as
he maintains. At any rate he is CIV
ing very little information to the
court, which is getting quite impa-
tient, though not more so than the pub
lie. 1t is suggested that Alberti's
crooked financial transactions began
as far back as 1890, about the time he
began his political activity. He gives
as an excuse for his dishonesty that
his fathers affairs, which he assumed
charge of, were in complicated con.
dition.
