Just what his attitude will
be toward the investigation of

to be seen. 1t is generally be-

some OF the best politicians de-
clare that he will not. They

Sen. Gashel has introduced.

1t safeguards that system with
such provisions as the pay

Gashel if probably innocent of
any such intent, it is generally
considered that machine poli-

They will favor anything rath-
er than the present law or some
similar plan.
There is a decided movement
against the Ueland initiative
and referendum measure in
this Legislature. 1t passed two
years ago but in caucus last
evening a majority of the
House members decided to
stand for the plan without the
constitutional clause. Skula-
son of Grand Forks introduced
a bill which provides that leg
islatlon may be initiative by
8 per cent of the voters, des-
tributed over at least six coun-
ties, The referendum can be
exercised by 5 per cent des-
tributed over the same number
of counties. 1t does not apply
to the constitution. The Skula-
son bill has been adopted by
the anti Ueland people and
stands a fair chanc- of defeat
ing it.

WAHPETONIANS
IN TEXAS.

In lEAhO.
A party of Wahpeton citizens
consisting of Mayor Frank
Eberly, Joseph Paterson, Gil
bert johnson, Nicholas Klein
aud William Rohan of Walcott,
have just returned from an ex-
tended trip through the south.
west. The party was mainly
on pleasure bent and took ad-
vantage of the low rates to see
a little of the south land in
January. On reaching Kansas
City they were astonished mt
the immense throng of home
seekers headed for the south
west. Fully 10000 people are
estimated to have passed thru
Kansas City during the excur.
sion days that week, while as
many more are estimated to
have passed through ST. Louis,
and the fact was forcibly
brought home to them that the
southwest is now undergoing
a period OF rapid settlement
and development such as has
characterized our own north
west during the past few years.
The people seem to come from
all parts of the United States
and quite a few from Canada,
all crowding into the prairies
of the southw ct; a great ma
jority of t h e m headed for
Texas.
"The possibilities of Texas
are tremendous, and it's future
is great" "In area it is larger
than the whole German EN-
pire, with almost every variety
of soil, climate and product to
be found in the United States,
and will afford homes for one
of the most cosmopolitan and
progressive eople in the
world"
"a number of German settle
ments have been established
and are uniformly prosperous
and contented," One farm was
pointed out to me which was
purchased this summer for
$4,000 per acre by prosperous
German farmer from one of
his neighbors, who raised a
crop of cotton this year which
he sold for $4,000 per acre; a
few years ago this land was
considered worthless, but the
people are now awakening the
possibilities of their country"
':The amount of advertise ng
which Texas is now getting is
incalculabie, as the tourists
and homeseekers from every
part of the country are return
ing home with stories of the
country and it's possibilities"
Our entire party became so
impressed with the oppo tuni-
ties for investment that we be-
came interested from a busi-
ness standpoint. We continu-
ed our journey out into the
western part of the state, which
is still largely occupied by
ranchmen, aud which as yet
has been but little advertised,
and were surprised beyond
m easure to find a large tract
of fertile prairie l a n d, as
smooth and fine and rich as
our own Red River Valley and
practically unoccupied except
by the cattlemen. The climate
here impressed us as being by
far the most ag reeable of any
section visited on our trip. The
elevation is high and the val
ley is entirely surrounded by
mountains, which prevents the
Northern las they are termed)

the high altitude and surround.
mountains, and almost the en-
tire years rainfall comes dur
ing the summer season, this
makes ideal conditions for the
growing of stock and for the
producing of a great variety of
crops" We are told that this
is the greatest cattle breeding
section in the United States,
there never having been any
loss to stock whether young or
old from stormy or bad wealth
er. We saw herds of fine sleek
cattle, which we are told were
never given shelter or feed dur
ing the entire year, and were
raised at practically no expense
to the owner. What Impress
ed US most was the possibilit-
les of this land for agriculture; /;
we were shown apples and
other kinds of fruit which we're
as fine as could be produced
anywhere, and there is no rea-
son, as far as we can see, why
this valley should not in the
near future command as fancy
prices as do the fruit lands of
Colorado or Idaho. We shall
be greatly surprised if these
lands are not selling for 500
per acre in short time, and
certainly with the present rush
of land buyers it will not be
long until they are all occupied
We learned that block of rail.
road land which has teen held
under cattle lease for years had
just recently become available
for purchase and we drove ont
and inspected it; we never saw
finer prairie in our lives, grass
up to our knees, with the main
line of the Southern Pacific
running directly thru it. We
recommend buying and pur-
chased 10000 acres, we had
all the advantage of first selec-
tion and strictly speaking got
in on the ground floor. Some
of our land adjoins the station
none of it is more than five
miles away. Part of this land
we shall resell and part of it
will probably be used for our
winter homes. We know of no
better investment than Sec
tion of this valley land at it's
present price. The other mem
bers of our party are equally en-
thusiastic and Mr.. Rohan, the
genial real estate man, he will
devote his efforts entirely here
