stated in a summary way the prin-
ciples upon which, in my judg-
ment, a revision of tariff should
proceed, and indicated at least one
new source of revenue that might
be pr operly resorted to in order
to avoid q future deficit. It is
not necessary for me to repeat
what l then said.
Il venture to suggest that the
vital business interests of the
country require that the attention
of the congress in this session be
chiefly devoted to a consideration
of the new tariff bill and that the
less time given to other subjects
of legislation in this session the
better for the country.

SPECIAL SESSION OF COUNTY COMMITS.
SIONERS CALLED TO PROVIDE FOR
RELIEF OF SETTLERS.

In answer to call from the
Williston Commercial club the
board of County Commissioners
will meet on March 22nd to take
up the question of providing the
settlers in the Rudser-Marmon
district, who were hailed out last
year, with seed grain. 1t is re-
ported that great many families
in that section of the country
were hailed out completely last
year and that they are without
money with which to buy seed
grain for this years crop. As the
legislature passed a bill this win
ter allowing the commissioners to
furnish grain where it is shown
the farmer is without means to
get it himself, they will hold a
meeting on the above men toned
date and take up the question of
providing tho needy ones with
Unnecessary seed.

M0NDELL LAND LAW BIG
BOOM FOR H0MESTEADERS
The m0NDElL LAW AS AMENDED BY SENATOR Me-
CUMBER WILL GIVE TITLE TO SETTLERS
DEN OF PROOF ON GOVERNMENT

Several thousand patents to
homesteads throughout the north
west will be issued to homestead
ers as result of the Mondell coal
land bill. Under this law the en-
tryman gets u patent to surface
and all unless at the time of proof
the government can proove that
the land is more valuable for coal.
Unless such proof is made at the
time of proof the settler will have
full title and the government will
have no redress. The law covers
all entries heretofore made Is we'll
as all that will be made hereafter.
The most important part of this
bill, as far as settlers in this Sec
tion of the state are concerned is
the amendment secured by Sena-
tor McCumber which provides
that the settler shall have hear
ing as to coal deposits and that he
shall have full patent unless the
government shows, at the time of
proof, that the land is chiefly val
liable for coal. Senator McCum-
Der, in mentioning this provision
in the law in a letter to the Graph
ic says:
From this provision you will
see that where it was not proven
that the land was more valuable
for coal than for agricultural pur-
poses at the time of making proof,
the Department must issue pat
ents. This will relieve the settlers
in the western part of our state
from the injustice which has been
done them by with holding pat
ents on account of certain land
having some Ignite coal upon it. :"
The bill as passed and approved
follows: I

House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, That any person
who has in good faith, located, Sc

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
CALLS FOR PROMPT WORK
PRESIDENT TAFT WANTS CONGRESS TO GIVE ATTEN-
ton STRICTLY TO TARIFF REVISION AND
PRESENT DEFICIT.

Washington, March 16.-Presi-
dent Taft sent to the congress his
message on the tariff, for the pur-
rpose of revising which he has con-
vened congress in extraordinary
session. The message in full fol-
lows:
To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives:
II have convened congress in
this extraordinary session in order
to enable it to give immediate
consideration to the revision of
the Dingley tariff act. The con-
ditions affecting production, man
ufacture and business generally
have so changed in the last twelve
years as to require . readjustment
and revision of the important
duties imposed hy that act. More
than this the present tariff act
with the other sources of govern
ment revenue, does not furnish
income enough to pay the author
lied expenditures of the govern
mont. BY July /, next, the ex-
cess of the expenses over the re-
ceipts for the current fiscal year
will equal 500, 600, 900.
''The successful party in the
late election is pledged to a revis.
ion of the tariff. The country
and the business community es-
pecially expect it. The prospect
of a change in the rates of import
duties always cause . suspension
or halt ID business because of the
uncertainty Is to the changes to
be made and their effect. It is,
therefore, of the highest impor-
tance that the new bill should be
agreed upon and passed with as
much speed as possible consistent
with its due and thorough consid-
GRAFTON. For these reasons, 1
have deemed it to be an extraor-
dinary occasion within the mean
ing of the constitution, justifying
and requiring the calling of an ex-
ira session.

HOLDS CROWD
BACK WITH GUN
SETTLERS FROM SANDlIE HAVE SCRAP
IN RAWSON BL0Ck-MAN USES
GUN TO KEEP CROWD BACK

There was considerable excite
ment around the Rawson block
Tuesday noon as the result of q
fight between Ed Drake and John
Etzell, both of Sandlie, in which
the former produced a large gun
and held back those who would
interfere while he trimmed Etzell
up to his liking. 1t appears that
there had been bad blood between
these men for some time and re-
ports put the blame on one and
then on the other. Tuesday they
were both in town and Drake hap
pened to see Etzell in the Rawson
block. He followed him upstairs
and into DR.. Nodes Office where
he overlook him. He knocked
Etzell down and proceeded to kick
him. Three or four of the room
ers attempted to stop the fight but
Drake produced . gun, that sew
eral of them stated was at least
three feet long, and they conclud-
ed they had business elsewhere.
It is reported that Van r. Brown,
Mackenroth and Lukins vent out
the back way, and that some one
made . 274 foot jump. They all
claim however that they were not
q bit scared. Other roomers were
found upon the roof and we are
not sure that they are al down
yet.
After Drake got through with
Etzell he went down town where
he was later arrested by II. d.
Shepherd who took possession of
the ''three-foot" revolver. Drake,
accompanied by oil the officers in
town, together With about fifty
citizens, was taken to the city Jail.
He was later transferred to the
county Jail. He was taken before
Justice Field who fixed bonds at
$1,000, which Drake furnished.
Owing to the fact that Etzell was
not in condition to appear as COM
planning witness hearing was con-
tinued until the 23rd.

DIR. AMADoR's P0cKETBooK

A curious story was current Few
years ago which was told In connec'
ton with the allegation that the Pan
anna rebellion had been fomented IN
Washington. IL was charge and an
allegation which were never substan'
tiated. IL was asserted that the Co
lombian government had acquired
proof of the charge. and IL is known
that sufficient credence was given "a
IL 10 induce the managers of the cam

1904 10 send an agent TO Colombia 10

able the use or the knowledge he OBJ
tanned Whether he secured the proof
is not known. for whatever he brought
back was suppressed.
But that is not the story told as 10
DR.. Amador. As related, IL was that
the conspiracy had proceeded to that
point when the seduction OF the Co
lombian troops stationed in Panama
became necessary To success. These
troops were willing. provided the as
surance could be given them In an au-
thoritative way that the United
States would stand behind the Pan
anna government and sustain IL. To
obtain that assurance of character
that would satisfy the troops. DR..
Amador journeyed 10 this country.
The story goes that his errand was
quickly reported 10 the Colombian gov.
eminent and that he was put under
the surveillance OF Pinkerton's detec-
tiyes as soon as he arrived. All OF
his visits 10 Washington were observ.
ed His headquarters were modest

The day came when II was known
that he was 10 sail for Panama. The
hotel was thronged by detectives. On
the day on which he was to sail the
doctor breakfasted al his modest ho-

his pocket wallet. He left that wal

looking for him.
Had the detectives rather than q
hotel clerk picked up the wallet there
would have been no rebellion. Within

required by the commander OF the
troops that the United States would
sustain and support the new Panamau

THE TURK.

Turks, however, are OF two kinds
the government official and the man
OF the people-and OF these the one is
the very antithesis OF the other. Just
as the former is false, cruel. servile.
arrogant, and unjust. so is the latter
simple, honorable. and hospitable.
Hospitality, indeed, is the Turk
greatest virtue. Should you travel
among the true Turks in Asia Minor
you will find. instead OF inns aud
hotels. warm welcome In every
house. The chief men OF the village
will dispute with each other for the
honor of being your host. and he who
has won that privilege is envied by
his neighbors. IL not rich enough to
afford "moussafir odassi.' or guest
chamber, he will place his own room
at your disposal; but wherever you
may lodge you will always find in
large Turkish letters this traditional
inscriptions: Here Is received the
stranger, In the name of God. the
Compassionate, the Merciful."
Nor are introductions necessary.
Whatever your creed or condition.
your rank or your country. whether
Christian or Moslem, wealthy or poor.
YOU will be lodged and entertained as
long as you choose to remain. While
guest you are not only not allowed
10 expend a penny. but are not even
permitted to offer a tip" TO the ser
wants, for this would be considered a
great insult TO your host. Nor must
IL be supposed that this Is true only
