effect then.

With Legislators

In the midst of all this travail and
trouble over the beer bills and the Sun
day baseball bill lobby has been quiet
ly at work of which but little note has
been made. From different parts of
Indiana druggists are here to see that
there is no interference with the pres
ent blind tiger law. They do not speak
of it as the blind tiger law, but as an
imposition on the druggists. And there
are SO many people who wonder why
the druggists should oppose any effort
to make the blind tiger law stronger If
they are not violating it. Every one
knows that there is no use in having
dry territory IL the blind tiger law is
not enforced, or if it is made weaker
than it now is. One blind tiger does
more damage in a community than half
a dozen properly regulated saloons.

senate.
A report was made to the senate to-
day from the committee on appropria-
lions on the presidents statements con-
corning the attitude OF congress toward
appropriations for the support Of the
secret service. Senator Hemenway,
who presented this report, added that
the president was not justified in max
ing the statement contained in his mes
sage to congress. The senate passed a
joint resolution declaring Feb. IL a
special legal holiday in the District of
Columbia and the territories in honor
of the centenary of the birth Of Lin
coin. A bill was passed repeating the
increase in the salary of the secretary
of state from $4,000 to $4,000, so as to
permit Senator Knox to accept an ap-
pointment as secretary of state. Sem
ator McLaurin made a speech in oppo-
sition to the passage of any bill for
the reenlistment of the negro soldiers
of the Twenty fifth regiment accused OF
having shot up" Brownsville. The
senate at 4:56 p. m. adjourned until
Monday
After having travelled a thoray road
for week the agricultural appropria-
ton bill was passed by the house today
practically as it came from committee.
A successful fight, led by Mr.. SABBATH
(IIl.) was made against the bill amend
ing the naturalization laws. which,
among other things, increased the
naturalization fee from IS to $40 BY
an emphatic vote the conference report
ION the measure was rejected and the
bill laid upon the table. A tribute to
Lincoln by Mr.. Boutell (nl.) closed the
days proceedings, and the house at SAB

The county clerks fee-grab bill was
called up In the senate today and made
a special order of business for the af-
ternoon of Feb. is, at $3.50 o'clock, on
a motion of Senator Clark, who opposed
Senator Woods efforts to rush the
measure through at the morning ses-
sion. This is the graft bill passed by
the legislature late in the session two
years ago, but vetoed by Governor Han
~. 1t was hurriedly passed by the
house over the veto at this session. The
bill sets forth at length all fees coun-
ty clerks are entitled to, but adds to
this list fees for making transcripts,
which would add thousands of dollars
to the total amount Of clerks fees in
many counties. On stating his motion
to make the bill a special order Senator
Clark said that senators should have
time to compare the bill with existing
statutes. 1t should be investigated
thoroughly before final action was
taken

bill pertaining to the subject. He said
that great good would be accomplished
among the criminal classes by the wo-

Legislature. Women always have more
influence with criminals than men,
said Senator Wood. His bill passed by
the vote of Al to 0. The provisions of

WRONG IMPRESSION
GIVEN BY HEADLINE
IRRIGATION At WILLlSTON is A
SUCCESS - LAST SEASON
NOT READY.

Article and Head in Yesterdays Trib-
une Did Not Line Up and corree-
ton is Made.
In the Saturday morning edition Of
the Tribune there was an article un-
der the headline "Williston Irrigation
Not Success" and the article itsel.
clearly proved that irrigation was a
success, but that some of the con-
ditions existing at the time we're not
favorable to the best working of the
system.
The article was an extract from the
report of the resident director of the
Williston sub-experiment station and
shows very clearly that while water
could not be supplied to the land last
year as often as required, where it.
was used it produced wonderful re-
cults. AS Mr.. Schollander stated in
the report "all the yields were low.
but the contrast between the irrigated
and the non-irrigated is evidence of
what irrigation can accomplish.

The first real ball game of the sea-

this afternoon, the game being called
at $3.50 sharp. Both the Mandan and
Bismarck team have made great prep
erattons for this game and it will be
battle royal from start to finish.
There are a number of salaried
players on the team from across the
river and It is stated that they have
an unusually strong team.
There should be good turnout to
witness the game as Mandan will
probably bring along a bunch of root

pleted and will seat about 300, thus
providing comfortable seats for a
large number.

city, who is irrigating with water from
Apple creek, shows very clearly the
value of irrigation on the lands of
western North Dakota. Mr.. Yegen's
irrigated wheat promised fully thirty
five bushels to the acre, but unfortu-
nately was twice struck by hail and
on being harvested yielded only IS
bushels. His alfafa last season (the
second season after being seeded) :,
yielded five and one-half tons per
acre at three cuttings.
Others who are irrigating in the
state are obtaining average yields of
thirty-five bushels of wheat, ninety
bushels of oats and six tons of alfalfa
per acre. The farmers under the
Buford and Williston projects have
their land in much better shape for
irrigating this season than they were
last year and the reclamation service
is in a better position to furnish wat
ter and it is expected that there will
be very gratifying results from the ir-
rigated lands under this project this
year.
