WOULD HOLD FAIR.
Dickinson and Stark County People
Favor the Plan.

Dickinson, N. d., Dec. 2O.-Agitation
favorable TO the holding Of an annual
fair in Stark county has been put un-
der the way, the plan receiving no
little support from several interested
commercial organizations Success at
tanned by other southwestern North
Dakota counties In the holding of such
fairs Is pointed to as being assurance
of the fact that Dickinson could be
just as successful in the organization
and the carrying on of fair that
would be a credit to the county. The
fact that Stark Is now such an import
ant agricultural county as compared
with the situation a few years ago is
one of the principal reasons for the
present movement

ANOTHER SENATOR
FOR STUTSMAN /?
STATISTICS SHOW THAT OTHER
COUNTIES WITH SMALLER
POPULATIONS HAVE
MORE SENATORS.

jamestown, N. D., Dec. 2o.--Stuts-
man county. it would seem. is entitled
to another senator, and possibly other
representation in the new reapportion-
ment of legislative districts-or else
some districts should be reduced. Here
are some facts for consideration:
Stutsman has a population of 1879
and has one senator and four repre-
sentatives.
Pembina county, with but 14,749
population, has two senators and 1--WE
house members.
Barnes county our esteemed neigh
Dor, with but $1,000 people, has two
senators and three representatives.
Cavalier, still smaller, 1859, has
two senators and three house mem
bers
Burleigh county, still smaller yet,
with population of only 13,oS7, has
two senators and three house mem
bers.
And Bottineau county, with a popu-
lation of 1895, has two senators and
three representatives.
Walsh and Richland counties, with
only L500 more than Stutsman, enjoy
two senators and five representatives.
There are few counties whose basis
of representation is so small as Stuts-
mans and it should be adjusted.
Stutsman is a big county, growing
rapidly, developing tremendously, and
has by no means struck its gait yet
1t is predicted that the next decimal
period will see even great growth than
the period just concluded.
But in the meantime two senators
would give adequate representation.

AN ELECTRIC Line

Ender1in, N D., Dec. 2O.-Plans for
the contraction Of an electric railroad
line between Enderlin and Fort Ran
som, an inland town, are being dis
cussed by the business men of the lat
ter place. Estimates on the cost of con-
struction have been secured and 1t is
shown that the expense would not be
so great because of the fact that a
greater portion of the district over
which the line would traverse is level
