The minority party will have eight
members in each house of the North
Dakota legislature at the coming ses.
sion. There will be SO Republicans in
the lower house and 80 Republican
members in the state senate, as a re.
suit Of Tuesdays election. Of the

feating Gunder Midgarden, a former
member of the uouse. The contest in
the Fifth district. where Jerry Stevens
was successful in defeating E. X.
Spoonheim, DEM, was also very warm
Stevens winning by a majority of only
seven votes. Spoonheim was a mem.
Der of the last two legislatures. The
Seventh district, also in Grand Forks
county, found another hot contest be.
tween George Duis. Dem, and A. 1.

EXTRAORDINARY RULING.
Newspaper Publishers Cannot Here. after Mail Paper More Than Twelve
 Months on Credit at Pound Rate

Washington, D. C., Jan. t.-Henry E. Warner, of Lexington, North Caro- i llna, president of the National Edi- torial Association, is in Washington to urge the postoffice department to 1 postpone for six months the new rul- ing of the department in regard to lapsed subscriptions to newspapers and periodicals.
 An order promulgated on December |, denies 10 publishers the privilege of sending copies to subscribers as such after specified term following the expiration of the subscription. This ruling becomes law today. Here after publishers of weekly newspapers cannot carry subscribers in arrears more than one year, semi-weeklies
 more than nine months, tri-weeklies more than six months, and dailieS longer than three months. For each
 violation the publisher will be fined one cent for each four ounces.
 Since the average newspaper weighs lour ounces or less, each paper sent to a subscriber in arrears for longer pe- riOd than indicated will cost the pub 1 fishers one cent fine. This law will not affect the big dailies very mate l rially, but 1t will make change in the management of weeklies and semi weeklies. NIT. Warner, who is pro- l prietor of the Lexington Dispatch, says the newspaper publishers do not 1 object 10 the law, but simply wish more time to prepare themselves and their subscribers for it's actual opera 1 tion.
 He will see Postmaster General
 Meyer tomorrow and urge an extension for six months. He declares few news paper publishers know of the law and l fewer newspaper subscribers. '
 II the above ruling is enforced, The i Times will be compelled to cut off several scores of subscribers who have 1 not been as prompt as the rest of our 1 friends in paying for the paper, and i who are now ill arrears for d year or more. We are waiting to see what the department intends doing as to a l post ponement of the date when this extraordinary ruling shall go into eff l feet. when we will notify each sub seriber affected, and give each one i chance to settle up, so that we may continue sending them the 1 paper. Then if they fail to settle, we will be compelled in self-defense 10 | discontinue sending them the paper and they will have no one to blame but themselves. Should the depart ment refuse to grant postponement, and should the ruling be made effec- l tive at once, We may be compelled to cut off all subscribers who are more than twelve months in arrears at once, and without further notice, and should this be the case, you will know that this is the reason. A II this is published for the information of our subscribers, and we hope each one who is in arrears will call and settle or re- init the amount due LIS, so that their subscription may continue uninter- ruptedly, and so you will not miss an issue.
 Please take notice and govern your self accordingly.

 A Times man in company with Mr. Price Mcdaniel took a trip down the river in the launch Buster couple of weeks age as far as MT. John Naylor's sawmill, where the boat was then tied up. They were hospitably received by Capt.

 Captain Began furnished us with a report of the work done up to that time December l5 l907) which shows che scope of, and usefulness of thes e boats. The report follows: Sna. s pulled, 772; drifts broken, 3l; trees cut, 3364; trees girdled, 19; miles run, 230.
 The commander of the snagboat is an interesting talker, and gentle man whom it is pleasure to meet. He has spent his life upon the water, entering the navy at thirteen years of age, and has followed his chosen voca- tion now for thirty or thirty-fve years, partly upon salt water, and latterly upon the Mississippi and it's tributaries, most of which was spent in Uncle Sans service.
