THEY WILL GET NO INSTRUCTED
DELEGATES IN NEW YORK.

convention when 1t re-convenes We'd
nesday, providing for an uninstructed
delegation to the national Democratic
convention at Denver.
When the state convention or
ganized Tuesday the Bryan men Of
fered a resolution instructing the dele
gates to be chosen for Mr.. Bryan. 1t
was referred to the committee on
resolutions which met Tuesday eve
ming and in turn referred the Bryan
resolutions to a subcommittee OF
seven. The subcommittee heard an
appeal by Augustus Thomas, president
Of the Bryan Progressive Democratic
league which fathered the resolution
and then, by vote of 6 to 1, decided
to report to the full committee the
recommendations against an instruct
ed delegation. The subcommittee
report was received and adopted by
the committe on resolutions by vote
of 20 to 4. A minority report Of the
subcommittee calling for an instruct

A friend Of Stubs has issued an
estimate Of the vote Of the coming
primary provided no one is in the
race except Stubs and Leland. He
figures It this way;
First district-5,0O0 Leland.
Second Districts, 900 Stubs.
Third district-4,000 Leland.
Fourth District, 900 Stubs.
Fifth district-2,000 Stubs.
Sixth district-1,000 Stubs.
Seventh district-500 Stubs.
Eighth district Stand of.
That means q total In the state Of
1900 for stubbs. The political mana
ger who can't figure out more than
1900 for bis candidate In the whole
state Of Kansas has 3 mighty weak
cause. It was only a few days ago
that Stubs announced that he would
get eighty per cent Of Me vote. IA.
strength must be failing apldly.

In reclaiming srid lands IN the
West, the government has spen
something like $40, 1000 IN the last
six years. 10 the beginning large
appropriations were necessary, bat
now the work is being done with the
funds that are received from the sale
OF lands already reclaimed.
Reclamation has been pushed with
vigor during the last year and the
government will, ON May /, next offer
for sale 2,1S5 irrigated farms in a
number Of western states. In area
the tracts range from 10 to 100 acres.
In the Truckee-Carson district in
Nevada, 1000 farms Of 80 acres each
will be offered to bona-tide settlers for
IS entry fee and IS an acre annually
for ten years. In the Umatilla pro-
jeci in Oregon. 200 farms Of from 10
TO 20 acres can be had at from 5000 to
al 200, while for the the same money
175 farms OF 80 acres each in South
Dakota and 400 In Wyoming will be
offered.
In retaining arid land the govern
ment is showing sound judgment in
beginning work in territory tapped by
railroads. On the farms that are to
be offered for sale this spring the pro-
duction Of crops can begin at once
and the railroads solve the problem of
marketing. Transportation facilities
are an important drawing card to the
farmer who is looking for a change OF
location.
Besides retaining arid lands, the
government has great work ahead
in draining swamp lands. In the
central and southern states there are
rs, 900, 900 acres that could be made
rich and fertile for agricultural pur-
poses with help from the government.
This is fully as important as reclaim
ing arid land.

SUN OF ANOTHER MURDER.

In speaking of the press report from
Bottineau to the effect that the Pei
tiers, the half breeds confined in the
penitentiary awaiting hanging for the
Somber murder, had written the au-
thorities at that town to the effect
that Little Rising Sun had several
years ago murdered a man named
Locke, Warden Hellstrom says he
does not believe the Peltiers have writ
ten any such thing, as no such letters
have passed through his hands, and he
hardly believes they have been snug
gled out of the institution. E-e1ts. r.: s.
The young Indian, Little Rising Sun,
is in the penitentiary for life, having
been convicted for completely in the
murder of the merchant Ssidle and
his daughter at somber, for which the
Peltiers are to hang. He is but is
years old. and If he killed Locke he
must have started in on his career Of
crime at a very tender age.

available after the liner had anchor

made by her, on November 8, last,
was four days, 18 hours and 40 min

TRY TO SECURE BETTER RATES
FOR THIS STATE.

Fargo, N: D., Aug. 20.-Through the
efforts of the Fargo Commercial club
working in conjunction with like clubs
over the state, Governor Burke has
issued special call to the state rail-
road commission to convene in special
session in Fargo to- consider the rail
road tarih of the state with the possi-
ble end In view of getting the rates
OF the state, and possibly the. north
west. regulated to the satisfaction OF
the merchants of the North Daknta
towns. III II r ~. ~ va.
The session has been called for Aug.
Is, and unless some unforseeh delay
keeps the members of the commission
from being IN Fargo on that date, the
representatives of the other clubs in
the state will be asked to attend on
the day set.
The move was started in Fargo by
the Commercial club, and has been
under way for some time. The present
rates and distance tariff in force in
this state has been handicap to the
business Of the state since the Min
nesota rates were put into effect, and
changes that Offset them have been
the traffic for a number
Of years.
The action will probably renew the
fight between the Twin Cities and
Fargo and Grand Forks, and will make
things interesting this fall.
Every merchant is interested in the
and all are awaiting the
outcome. Data compiled from action
taken in other states will be presented
to the commission, and as that body
has the full authority to fix the rates.
It Is believed the first meeting will re-
suit In ultimate good for the whole
state and lead to a change in the tar
Id for the whole northwest west of

CARLSON WEARY

OF THE "PEN''
HAS SERVED FOUR OF HIS Sew
ENTEEN YEARS SENTENCE
FOR ROBBERY, AND NOW TRY
ING TO INTEREST HIS JURY IN
HIS PARDON. -

Four years in prison has satisfied
Albert Carlson that the penitentiary
is not to his liking. ''' SS - .e,'>:
Carlson is serving q 17-year-old SEN:
tence for a daring robbery at Niagara
this state, Nov. 3, 1904, in company
with Ismar Bruce, Of which the two
men were convicted. 7
Now Carlson has written the clerk
of court o. land Forks county asking
for the names of the jurors who
found him guilty.
Carlson has been at the penitentiary
less than four years, and is evidently
getting tired Of the place, and has
requested the names of the jurors 50
that he might write to each one Of
them and get them to change their
mind as to his guilt, and in this
manner secure his pardon. Clerk of
Court Spaulding has complied with
the request, and Carlson will now
probably busy himself for several
to come in writing letters.
In 1904 the robbery was the sensa-
ton Of Grand Forks county and every
day during the trial the court room
was crowded to its capacity. Carlson
and Bruce entered the store of Chas
Hursch at Niagara, and at the point
of revolvers succeeded in warding OF
seven men and robbing Hursch of $104
and made their escape. Bruce, who
was tried at the same time, was sem
;enced to seventeen years and six
months.
