I'VE have not any particular nation

interests are well represented there, that
every one has a show in Congress. and
while you have not great many repub-
lican congressman IN Texas, you have
some active democratic congressman.
Irrigation Projects.
Il suppose you are interested in irriga-
ton here. All l can say about this is
that this western trip of mine has i'm
pressed me deeply with the Importance of
irrigation, with the view to making all
this western country productive. The
truth is, we are exhausting the land of
the east, and the high price of farm prod
ucts and everything of that kind is ex-
planned by the fact that we are using up
most OF the land and unless we can eM~
tend our territory by making that which
has heretofore been a desert useful, we
are up against it,
II suppose that none of you are in favor
of dividing up your state, as the treaty
of annexation provided 1t might be. Even
the temptation of six or eight senator's
does not seem to change your view on
that subject.
you were going to have kind of joint
debate among your brother democrats
down here. but understand that is given
up. l thank you for your very cordial
reception and l wish you every kind of
prosperity"

If, under the Fuller bill, the leaders of

get the prohibited article transported to
his home? Under the provisions Of this
bill deliveries of the prohibited article
have been made practically impossible
unless the delivery be made by express

Cedar Rapids Gazette: "Observe,
# you please says the Lincoln Jour
nal, that about the only thing Jim
Hill is generous with is his advice
That reminds me- Years ago. when
Jim Hill was handling fuel and acting
rs agent for the steamboats, that came
to ST. Paul, Alexander Beaupre was a
merchant in small way. AS Hills
business grew so did Beaupre's and
by the time Hill became large figure
in northwest railroading Beaupre be-
came head of a large wholesale house
with some soninlaws as partners. And
all the years Hill and Beaupre had
been good friends. Then reverses
came to the Beaupre firm, too much
soninlaw, gossip said, and one day its
bankruptcy was announced and Beau
pre- sacrificed everything, fine home
stead and all, to his creditors, leaving
him penniless in his old age. Then
Hill placed $4,000 in bank in trust,
it's income to be paid to Beaupre and
his wife as long as either lived Some
how this act of generosity leaked out
but not through Jim Hill. And 1t is
but one OF many instances where Hill
was generous with something more
substantial than advice.

Altes should not marry now and live

Judge Thomas l.. Anderson on the
charge of living together in open and

ed to Hannibal he accompanied her.
The woman has obtained a divorce
from her husband and Ross has left
his wife and was loo.ling for another.
He said that he had been boarding
with her since they came to Hannibal.
This was the substance of the evil
dence brought out at the trial yes

them guilty as charged and fined them
one dollar each and costs aggregating
$2515 which they paid and went on
