several days there were rumors of
great deposits. Mining claims were
staked out north of Steele few
years ago, it having been reported
that gold was discovered in paying
quantities. 1t is pretty safe to say
there is no gold except possibly a
trace that has been washed here in
sand from other localities in the state
of North Dakota. This statement is
made despite the frequent rumors
and reports to the contrary. We be-
lieve inquiry at the geological de-
partment of the state university will
develop the fact that North Dakota's
geological structure and formation
is such that there is little possibility
of gold deposits. So that not much
attention is or will be paid to re-
peated rumors that the state has
gold mines. But there is gold in
plenty in the soil-when titled and
made to yield of wheat, oats, corn
and grass. And this is, and will con-
tinue to be the greatest source of
wealth in the state of North Da-
kota.

A Drowned Out volcano--Its Waters
Are 1000 Feet Deep. l.
The new Crater lake, National park,
in Oregon, already bids fair to rival
as resort for the tourists the famous
Yosemite valley. People are begin
ming to visit in great numbers, attract
ed by the unique and spectacular seen
ic features which it offers, and the ap-
proach to it, hitherto somewhat diff
cult, is being made much easier by
railroad now In process Of construction.
Crater lake gets its name from the
fact that it occupies the crater Of an
extinct Volcano q Five miles in diam
eter and nearly circular in shape, it is
the deepest body of fresh water in
America. Soundings have fixed its
depth at 1000 feet. Only one lake in
the world, that of Baikal, Is deeper-by
400 feet. In other respects, however,
it Is altogether unique. Encircled as
it is by almost vertical cliffs. which
are reflected in the clear and brilliant
blue Of the water, it presents to the
eye spectacle unsurpassed.
AS great natural and scenic fea-
ture Of this country Crater lake ranks
with Niagara falls and the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado, 1t is unique and
In its way unrivaled. There are in the
United States hundreds Of extinct vol
canic craters. but this is our only
great one. .r;, i.l s
Think of it! This mighty hole in the
summit Of the Cascade range Is near

thirds of mile in depth. Once upon

naturally led to widespread popular

THAT THIRTY PERCENT PROPO.
SITTnN

The supreme court will hear argu-
ments in the case brought to deter
mine the constitutionality of the 80
percent clause of the primary cleo
ton law on the 18th of this month,
and a decision will no doubt be
handed down in time for the guild
ance of officials who have to do with
making up the official ballot.
If the decision sustains the law,
then some of the candidates Of the
Democratic party who made the race
at the primaries, will not go on the
ballot as Democratic nominees, for
the reason that they did not get the
required 80 percent of the party vote
cast for secretary Of state. If the
decision holds that that provision of
the law is unconstitutional, then all
Democratic nominees of the primaries
will go on the official ballot this
fall, irrespective Of the size of the
vote obtained by them.
As the Tribune understands the
case, this is the only feature of the
law that has been brought into ques-
ton, and the only one that will be
passed upon by the court. It has been
said that test might be made of the
other features of the primary law,
but no such action has been institut-
ed, and one could hardly be institut-
ed now and receive the decision Of
the court in time to be effective for
any purposes for which it might be
brought. A case involving the con-
stitutiona1ity of the whole primary
law would be a case involving much
discussion and research and decis-
ion would not be rendered upon it
until after careful study of the
many questions involved, and it
seems hardly likely that there will
be any case brought prior to the COM
ing election bringing into question
the primary law as an entirety. !

WHAT THEY SAY

Old Time Band Musician: A good
brass band is a splendid adjunct to
any town or city. But in most towns
a band is hard proposition to keep
going. A town will have a crack
band one season and then for the
next three or four seasons the same
town will not hear anything of a
band. Bismarck seems to have had
"a similar experience. Last year the
band here had an excellent start and
made a creditable showing through
out the entire season. But this sea-
son the band has been rather obso-
lete. ' IL # 9y
There is no reason, though, why
a city like Bismarck should not
have one of the best bands in the
state. Bismarck is not a city. Of a
local nature. 1t; Is the capital of
North Dakota. People all over the
state have their eye on this city be-
cause the whole state is interested
in its welfare. ..' .'''
There are many occasions arising
when a band here could take prom
inent part in many Of the public
events which occur here of a state
wide nature. The band, however,
has taken a back seat so to speak,
apparently for no other reason than
from the fact that a few musicians
are lacking to make upa full roster
OF an ordinary street or concert band
However, there is plenty of material
here to make band that will com
pare favorably with any of the bands
in the state. There are plenty OF
high grade instruments procurable
and there are uniforms sufficient to
provide for band of at least twenty
pieces, and 1t seems but folly that
the members on the ground should
set back as though they were help
less, simply because. some of the
business houses will not give Jobs to
a few clerks who are musicians
Take what material is already here
and go ahead. Let the business men

that the band has some independence
Of its own. Get along without any
alleged or promised help from the
commercial club. Keep going as well
as possible with what musicians are
in town. Others will be comine

LEGISLATIVE RE.

The work in the Legislative Refer

progressing in very encouraging.
manner. The results of the recent
primary election in several states
have been closely watched with
view of ascertaining the practical op-
Grafton of different primary laws.
The election laws of most Of these
states are now on file. in the depart
ment and any comment on their mer-
its made in the press is clipped and
mounted for. reference.
( All bills introduced at the last ses-
sion have been carfully ,indexed and
work on those of the session Of 1905
has begun. This index will be Of
great service to members. both new
and old, as any bill on any subject
can be put into the hands Of the
legislator on moments notice. At
the present it would be very difficult
and in most cases impossible to find
a bill on given subject introduced,
we shall say, on the session of 1903,
for no bill index exists.
Since Mr.. Sveinbjorn Johnson
came as legislative reference librar-
ian early in August, he has also been
collecting material on various legis-
|lative subjects such as primary cleo
lions, initiative and referendum,
guarantee Of bank deposits, public
service commission, etc. b.
All evidence, as fast as it arrives,
is classified by Miss Zana x. Miller
in accordance with the most approved
library methods. She also has charge
of the travelling libraries which cir
culate among towns in the remotest
parts of the state. The material is
arranged on the shelves so as to be
most easily accessible to the legis-
lator. The work Of collecting EVIL
dence on the great number of iegis-
latiVe subjects is, of course, slow, as
1t necessitates the writing OF great
many letters to different parts Of
the country. The generosity with
which societies and individuals re-
spond to requests for whatever ma
terial they possess IS very encourag-

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MISSOURI
SLOPE,

Mercer county Is twenty-five years
old and the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the organization Of the county
was celebrated fittingly last week at
krem. A number of Republican
leaders of the state took advantage
of the opportunity to make the &C
quaintance of the Mercer county peo-
pie, whose Republicanism has been
the pride of the state organization
for years
But the meeting held there was
not political, but social one, in
which Fluctuations were exchanged
upon the growth and development of
the county. 1t is commented that
there is not rented farm in the
county, every settler owning his own
land and home, and although there
is not railroad in the county-one
of the very few counties in the state
not traversed by rai1road-there
has been a steady and continual
growth.
Another year or so and the North
ern Pacific will extend its line in a
branch northward from Mandan, and
both Mercer and Oliver counties will
have railroad facilities. But the
Missouri river forms the eastern
boundary of Mercer county and af-
fords means for cheap transporta-
tion of its products to market, prov
ing that a county bordering such a
waterway as the Missouri can thrive
without railroad facilities.
There is no question, however, but
the building of a road through Mer-
Ger county would be healthy slim.
illus of growth and would enhance
property values and make the county
more desirable as place of settle
ment. Anyhow, the Mercer county
people are to be congratulated upor
the splendid prospects for the com
: Ing quarter century period.
