ington, Mr.. Hansbrbough gave them
every attention, introduced them to
the president, and said in his we'll
known patronizing way, as he placed
his hand on the presidents shoulder,
'.Mr. President, this delegation is
composed of my friends, and want
you to see that the money for the
Williston irrigation project is forth
coming"
The Hansbrough boosters at Will
liston seem to lose sight of the fact
that Senator McCumber and Repres-
entative Marshall and GronEa had
each equally as much If not more to
do in pushing the irrigation project
for North Dakota as had the senior
senator. Senator Hansbrough is one
of those statesmen who believe shat
if you say thing often enough and
loud enough no matter about the
facts, the people will soon begin to
believe it. His bubbly spnme, how
ever, is growing thin and his unreas-
oning jealousy AMI malignant an
tagonism toward his colleagues from
this state are proving his undoing.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-04-26

simply because he-Hansbrough
has claimed credit for it both directly
and by implication in season and out.
And so with the irrigation project.
Hansbrough did not know any
thing about irrigation. He was
chairman of the committee on pub
lie lands and introduced the irriga-
tion bill upon the request of Senator
Newlands Of Nevada. The irrigation
idea was entirely southwestern
proposition and the men who started
were the Californians, the Nevada,
Wyoming and Utah people, and it
was primarily started in the inter-
ests of the Hartman system of rail
ways and Hansbrough being iden-
titled in congress as Hartman in
terest man, introduced the bill pro-
posed by Newlands of Nevada.
We have it from absolutely undis-
puted authority that Alexander Nc
kenzie is the man whose genius and
foresight brought about irrigation in
North Dakota. Mckenzie was in
Washington when the joint commit
tee in the house and the senate met
with the irrigation committee and
Mr.. Newell, head of the irrigation
department, and he unfolded mar
showing feasible irrigation POSSIBLE
tiles in the United States, and North
Dakota was not on the map Hans.
brough, by virtue of his position on
the public lands committee, was q
member of this committee, and al
McKenzie's suggestion definite &C.

projects was deferred until he-Mc
Kenzie-could obtain J, data from

convention the splendid success it
was from every point of view. 1t was
at this convention that James J. Hill
delivered one of the best addresses
ever heard in the state on the great
and ornament value Of irrigation in
the building up of our common
wealth. Mr.. Hill was accompanied
by practically all of the jobbers and
noted business men of the Twin Cit
les, including Congressman Stevens
of ST.. Paul.
Again we find Mckenzie working
unselfishly at the beginning of the
legislative session of 1905 in an eff
fort to get the necessary laws to
carry irrigation projects into effect
as it should be remembered our state
laws had to be in entire harmony
with the national irrigation law. 1t
was at this session of the legislature
that Frank Chapman, of Williams
county, was made chairman OF the
committee on irrigation, and to
Chapman, next to Mckenzie, we are
indebted for our present state irri-
cation laws which, we are told by
the reclamation department officials.
are as good as the best in any state
in the union. During all these nee.
essary preliminaries did anyone heal

No! The senator was too busy or

those soldiers whose only warlike
weapons during the progress of the
fight was fieldglass. So in poll
tics. When battles have been fought
by well-directed efforts, devotion
and genius, it too often happens that
the credit goes to him, who far from
the heat and conflict of the day, sat
idly in the suffers tent.
Gratitude should keep it's index
finger on the man who did, rather
than the man who says he did. We
happen to know that the claim of
Senator Hansbrough that he brought
about the irrigation project for Will
liston and vicinity with his little
Ratchet has no foundation in fact,
and what is more Hansbrough knows
it. This, however, has always been
the long suit of Mr.. Hansbrough-
claiming credit for the other fellows
work. This was strikingly exempli-
fed in the passing of the law by
congress in December, 1906, granting

MlNoT REPORTER SHOWS UP

SELF CREDIT FOR WlLLlSToN
PROJECT.

The man whose political morals are
so elastic that he can, without blush
ing, appropriate as his own, the result
of other mems efforts is not the man
to be trusted.
The Reporter was told a few days
since by a citizen of Williston, gen
tleman of more than average intel
igence, that the people of Williston be-
lieve that H. G. Hansbrough, practic-
ally alone and unaided, procured from
the national government the irrigation
project for Williston and Williams
county.
If politics is sometimes the scorn
of sober minds, it is chiefly because
politics owes its degradation to those
who, by claiming virtues they never
had, yet have gained it's favor. II

North Dakota that Hansbrough could
use in order that he might get Mr.
Newell to consider it.
The water-works system in the city
of Bismarck was built by Alexander
Mckenzie twenty-feur years ago, and
he has always owned and operated
the plant. The water of the Bismarck
plant is pumped from the Missouri
river into reservoir located some
200 feet above the level of the river.
This practical experience of Mr.. Nc
Kenzie's enabled him to have a
broader knowledge as to the poten-
tial possibilities and cost of lifting
the water of the Missouri, our cheap
fuel considered, than any other man
and the idea now being worked out
by government engineers on the
Williston project originated with
Alexander Mckenzie, the man now
so roundly abused by Senator Hans
brough and the insurgents.
When it comes to the state irriga-
ton Reorganization we again find Nc
Kenzie putting in his time and mon
ey to promulgate the work necessary.
He 1t was who had the delegates
from North Dakota sent to Utah.
Again we find him working as he
alone can to make the big irrigation
convention in Bismarck in the fall Of
1903 a success. Those only who at
tended this convention can realize
the elaborate plans projected and
brought to a successful conclusion
by Mckenzie in order to awaken in.

RALLY MiNNEsAro FOR BRYAN.
Leading Democrats Say He is Chief
Exponent of Reform.

DULUTH, Mimi. Jan. 4-Demo-
Gratis of Minnesota who favor the NOM
ination of w. J. Bryan for president
have given out an address to the dem
ocrats of Minnesota, setting forth their
reasons for supporting Mr.. Bryan. The
address is signed by T. T. Hudson,
democratic national committeeman
from Minnesota, and more than 100
other prominent democrats of the
state. The address in part says:
Believing that it is essential III the
contest of 1908 that the democracy of
ground. that there shall be no retreat.
that what has been already so dearly
conviction that the best interests OF
the American people demand the NOM
ination and election of William J. Bry-
an to the presidency as the chief ex-,
ponent of the reforms needed in our
operation of the democrats of Mime
sofa.
The conflict is between reaction and
progress. The influences with selfish
interests behind them. which always
have been inimical to pure democracy,
are still at work. Let no true democrat
be deceived. In the present situation
no man can be seriously considered in
place of Mr.. Bryan, if these influences
are behind him. We know what Bryan
stands for; he is no experiment If we
win with him, it will be a victory
worth whining, a triumph of the prin-
ciples we hold dear.

MUST FoRTiFY PUGET SOUND.
Roosevelt. Asks Large Appropriation
on Humphreys Suggestion.

WASHINGTON. Jan. president
Roosevelt has been seeking all the in
formation possible as to the need OF
Notifications on the Pacific coast. He
requested Representative Humphrey
of Washington. to submit statement
a. to the needs of Seattle and Puget
Sound. Mr.. Humphrey called on the
president and handed him statement
which shows that, despite the exist
ence of several artillery forts in Sound
waters and athe laying of submarine
mines at several points, the cities or
the North Pacific coast are still COM
paratively unprotected.
Mr.. Humphrey says that the en-
trance to the Sound is so wide that
unobserved in thick weather, although
the entrance is guarded by three ar
tillery forts. It is recommended that
submarine boats be employed as aux
iliary protection. This need is empha-
sized by the fact that in many places
the water of the channel is so deep
as to make the laying Of submarine
mines impracticable.
Deception Pass is entirely without
projections; larger guns are needed at
Forts Worden and F'lagler; owing to
inadequate provision for the coast ar
Puget Sound forts have fallen into
disuse. The most vital question. Mr..
Humphrey says, is the installation of
protection which will overcome the
width of the entrance from the Pacific
Ocean. Without such provision. he
says, the present equipment will in
time of war prove practically useless
Mr.. Humphrey sums up the needs of
the district in this way:
First-Torpedo and submarine boats;
second-<More men; third-Fortifica-
ton of Deception Pass, Foulweather

Ter guns at all forts.
AS a result of the presidents inves-
tigation the war department will call
for appropriations aggregating about
$5,400,0 0e for Notifications and coast
defenSeS of Puget Sound. It is pro-
posed that $2.779, 8S7 of this amount
shall be available for immedite USE
