HANNA PRESENTS
BUILDING BILL
CONGRESSMAN Hanna Introduces Bills
For Public Buildings at Five
Towns in State

Washington, March 25-Represen-
tative l.. B. Hanna of Fargo started
work in earnest to fulfill the predic-
tions of his supporters that he would
be representative In fact as we'll as
in name" He is getting to be known
in the house as 'good MIXER" and
in all probability he will do some
effective work before the end of the
present session.
Mr. Hanna's initial legislative work
has been to introduce five bills pro-
viding for the erection Of 100000
postoffice buildings at Valley City,
Jamestown, Mandan, Dickinson, and
Williston. These bills have been re-
ferred to the house committees on
postoff1ces and post roads and will
be considered in the preparation of
the next public buildings bill.
While it is not likely that action
will be taken on these or similar
measures during the extra session,
the fact that Representative Hanna
has introduced them at this time will
entitle them to early consideration
when the public buildings bill is
discussed.

NORTH DAKOTA

Views of a North Dakotan Who
Has Returned from Winter In

North Dakota Soil and Opportunities
Far In Advance of Those in

jamestown, March 25.-George
Singler has returned from winters
visit in Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. The weather was pleasant and
he did not extend his trip south be-
yond Oklahoma. He stated there Is
considerable activity in prospecting
for oil and coal, and that the Okla
homa oil fields are increasing in area
and production. There is also con-
siderable interest seen in the new oil
fields in Mexico, and number Of Ok
lahoma operators have pulled up and
gone to the new oil fields south of
Uncle Sans domains. Mr.. Singler
says that anyone who spends a winter
in Oklahoma will become satisfied
that, from an agricultural point OF
view, North Dakota is far superior.
Our grain and our grass are native
products, which support live stock.
and our wealth of meat, butter,
poultry, eggs, cream and other farm
products is so much greater and so
superior, to that of the south that
there is no question as to the advan-
tage of farming in this part of the
country over that In the greater por-

Walks Into Health. LaES
The beauty Of all this is that Mr..
Weston. does it not for money or glory,
but for an idea. He believes that pee
pie ought to walk more. If his meth
DDS are a trif1e spectacular it is only
that he may thus fix the thought in
the popular consciousness. He would
have people walk themselves into
health and happiness. Can it be done?
Well, there is Weston. He did It. He
is healthy and happy at an age when
most men are "all IN" or next thing
to it; he has the rosy cheeks and the
fire of youth. Wandng did it. No
theory about that. he has the goods.
He is perhaps tho first man In the
worlds history that ever preached a
gospel with his feet. But it il a per-
fectly good gospel-better, in fact, than
many men preach with their mouths.
And Weston does not preach alone
with his feet. He talks for his idea.
He also talks temperance-and lives It.
On the same day that Weston start
ed his stroll across the continent the
extra session of congress met to wres-
tie with the tariff. Here is betting
that he trudges into San Francisco be-

Francisco. These detours will take
him over thousand miles out Of his
way, but what are a paltry thousand
miles more or less to man who has
walked his way into fame and long life?
At least one Of these detOurs, that
to Pittsburg, has an amusing cause.
When tramping from Portland to Chi
cago two years ago Weston thought he
was not properly protected by the pO-
lice of Cleveland. A boy actually
tramped on his toes and hurt him so
much that he limped for miles. Now,
toes are to Weston what fingers are to
Paderewski or vocal cords to Caruso.
That foot tramping episode is to cost
the city Of Cleveland dear, for in the
cross continent tour, the greatest Pc
destrian feat ever attempted by man
of seventy-one or any other age, the Ohio
city is to be entirely ignored and left
OF the map. It may be the home of
Tom Johnson and Theodore E. Burton,
it may have counted among its citizens
Mark Hanna and John D. Rockefeller,
it may be the metropolis Of territory
furnishing divers presidents and states
man galore, but it cannot have Weston.
Let this be a warning. Henceforth
and forever let Cleveland keep it's
boys of pedestrians toes. !

w YHAT do you think Of a man
M seventy-one years old walking
" from New York to San Fran
cisco? To make such trip
by train would be considered Il task
by most men Of that age. Yet on bis
seventy-f1rst birthday, which occurred
March IT,. Edward Payson Weston
started from the New York city hall
with the avowed intention of tramp
ing it through to the golden west.
Moreover. he scheduled enough side
trips to carry the total distance up to
$500 miles. More wonderful still. he
promised to do the whole thing in 100
days and rest Sundays. Does it sound
like one Of the ancient and honorable
order of fairy tales? Well, it would
sound like that If it were pushed
through the headgear Of anybody but
Weston. If any other walko!ogist or
talkologist should present PROPOSE
ton like that we would even call 1t
by a shorter and uglier name. But
Weston has a habit Of making good.
He is the man that at the age of sixty
nine walked from Portland. Me-, to
Chicago in less than twenty-four days.
He also tramped from Philadelphia to
New York, approximately 100 miles.
in less than twenty -four hours. On
both journeys he beat his own record
Of forty years before. When our be-
loved grandfathers were on earth he
was doing the heel and toe act and
was known as weston the Walkist."

Bennett doubled his salary on the
spot. The young mans feet enabled
him to make several beats on the news
while he worked on the, Herald and
other New York papers. y
Walked to Lincoln's Inauguration.
Early in 1861 Weston was in Boston,
and it was from there that he started
on his first famous walk. This was a
trip to Washington to witness the first
Inauguration Of Abraham Lincoln.
Leaving Boston on Feb. %. Weston
reached the capital city on March 8,
having covered 453 miles in POS hours.
That Washington tramp was the turn.
ing point In his career and made him
"Weston the Walkist." In 1867 Wes-
toms. legs brought him into national
fame. They carried him from Port
land, Me-, his birthplace. to Chicago In
less than thirty days, or less than
twenty-six walking days. He was an
object of curiosity and applause all
along the way and when he reached
Chicago was given an ovation that
was probably never equaled by a pres;
ident Of the United States and was
never surpassed unless it was by.
prize Efhfer.: = He WIS escorted into the
city ~ tie police, with bands playing
and flags flying. The streets were
thick with people. who were in trees
and on roofs in the good old American
way. Weston's wife and child awaited
him at the Sherman House. After he
had Joined them he went to the bal
cony of the hotel, where a crowd ex-
tending for blocks called loudly for
speech. Weston was too overcome to
talk and could only hold aloft the little
girl and say in husky accents that now
she could have pony. He delivered
several addresses in Chicago. telling
Of his trip.
In 1907, forty years later, Mr.. Yves
ton again walked from Portland to
Chicago, covering the same route as
before. This journey was given even
wider publicity than the first. Though
walking is not now so much in vogue
as in the good old days, the veteran
pedestrians advanced age and the TO-
mantle parallel of the two journeys
nearly half century apart caught the
popular Imagination, so that his prog
ress was a continued ovation. Many
who had run after him as boys during
his first trip were now old men, who
joined him and trudged by his side.as
long as they could keep the pace.
When he reached Chicago the scenes
Of his former triumph were re-enacted,
although there was no young wife and
no little girl to welcome him at the
end of his long tramp. On this trip,
as already mentioned, Weston cut his
former record more than twenty-four
hours.
After the 1867 tramp Weston made
several other records In America, one
Of which was lis miles in twenty-four

people claim to have walked from
ocean to ocean, but there has been nc
way to prove their assertion, nor have
they pretended to make time records
Weston will be accompanied by physi.
clans, reporters and others, who will
keep a scientific tab on his time and
condition, An automobile will carry
food supplies for the pedestrian, also
change of clothing, but no camping
outfit, as he will depend on finding
houses at which he may stop. even in
crossing the Nevada desert. The aged
walker has been known to wear out
successive relays of horses In his rapid
cross country hikes. and If he does not
put an automobile out Of commission
the fame of that particular machine
will be established. t.,

Weston's route as tentatively map

From New York to Albany; thence to
Buffalo; southwark to Pittsburg; then
northward through Ohio and west
