statehood or Conservation First.
There Is a contest between advo-
ates OF statehood and conservation
measures as to what class OF leglsIa-
lion shall next be considered. The
supporters Of the public land with
drawal bill will not give way to the
statehood measure without fight.
Few republican senators are anx-
lous to put the statehood bill
through at the present session. They
think the difficulties between senate
and house bills are irreconcIiable and
that II would be a waste OF time to
send the measures to conference.
About the only supporters In the sen
ate OF immediate statehood are on
the democratic side aud they want
the house bill passed. as that would
mean statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico In time for fall elections. and
they think 1t would mean four add
tional democratic senator's.
The senate bill. favored by repub-
lean senators. would merely authorize
the territories to take the preliminary
steps and would not make II possible
for them to be admitted to the unlon

SIMPSON PROBES
ROUSSEAU RING
DICKINSON, n. D., SENATOR, ATTORNEY
FOR Dan RUSSELL HEARS OF FIGHT
OVER DIVISION OF MONEY

Boston, April 19.-It is believed
by many attorneys in this city
that recent developments in the
famous Russell will contest will
eventually result in complete re-
opening of the case.
The action of Attorney Leslie
Simpson in hurridly leaving Bos-
ton for Northern New York, where
he will investigate the history of
the Rousseau family, caused some-
what of a sensation here today.
Giles Chase, a lawyer in Messona,
N. Y, where the Rousseau family
lives, was engaged by wire yester-
day to be in readiness to aid At
torney Simpson in the probe.
Several of the Rousseaus who
took the witness stand during the
trial and swore the Dakotan was
Rousseau, have been talking, it is
said, about the large sum of money
they received. Incidentally, they
have been having a factional fight
as to the division of the money.
Accordingly many important
features concerning this phase of
the case have reached Attorney
Simpson, and he has determined
to sift them down. His appeal
from the decision of Judge Law
ton, seeking trial in the supreme
court, has not been filed and will
not be until he returns to this city.
There has also been a sudden halt
on the part of the California at
torneys.
The petitioss fled in the Cam
bridge probate court, asking the
court to establish officially FIRES
no Dams" claim has been with
drawn. The case caused much
talk. Mr.. Simpson says recent
developments in Northern New
York among the Rosseaus would
make it very uncomfortable for
the Californians to take an oath in
open court that he was the real
Daniel Blake Russell.

STILL TRYING TO
find CHILD
LAD MISSING SINCE FEBRUARY 9 HAS
LEFT NO TRACE--REWARD
NOW OFFERED

Hettinger, N. d., April l8.-In
hopes of securing some trace of
the 5-year-old son who wandered
from their homestead shack last
winter during storm aud was never
heard of since, Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
uel Huether of Alden, N. D., have
offered reward. This case is one
of the most mysterious that has
ever been reported in the south
western section of the state as
there seems to be absolutely no
possibility of discovering the lost
lad. On February 9, during a
storm, the little fellow left home.
His tracks were traced for a dis
tance of about three.quarters of a
mile, where. they became lost in
tracks of a passing team. 1t was
reported at the time that the child
had been kidnapped. Since then
the entire district has been thor
oughly searched by scores of men,
but all without avail.

500 RAILROAD
RUSHING WORK
CONTRACTS LET AND CRADLES AT
WORK on line FROM DRAKE
TO MEADFORD

The 500 railroad has let the
contract for several miles of grad
ing on their surveyed line from
Drake, McHenry county, to Mead
ford, in Walsh county.
We understand that this is the
first contract let for work on this
line and the grading is to start
from Drake and work east. With
a line from Drake to Meadford
the 500 would have q line from
Drake to Duluth. The 500 has a
line built now from Drake to
Plaza, Mountrail county, and with
this line extended to Williston,
which we believe will be done in
the near future, Williston would
have another road to the grain
centers, this line going direct to
Duluth.

SEVERE STORM
EASTERN N. D.
EASTERN PART OF STATE AND MIME
sofa VISITED BY SEVERE SlEET
AND SNOW STORM

While the residents of western
North Dakota were carrying sun
shades and enjoying very nice
spring weather, the residents in
the eastern part of the state we're
experiencing one of the worst
storms of the year. They had a
heavy rain last Thursday and Fri
dayand as the weather turnedcolder
the rain turned to sleet. This
changed later to snow and was ac-
companied bv a wind which in
creased to a regular gale. A great
deal of damage was done to tele-
graph and telephone lines, hun
dreds of poles breaking under the
heavy weight of sleet laden wires.
The different railroads we're given
a great deal of trouble and all
trains were late Saturday. Rotary
snow plows were put at work
clearing the tracks and one had to
make several trips between Lari-
more and Grand Forks.

STATE FAIR IS
BEING PLANNED
FARGO EVENT THIS YEAR WILL Be
OF THE BEST-PREPARATlONS
.- GOING RAPIDLY

Fargo, N. d., April 16.:-The
North Da kota state fair will be
held in Fargo this year in accord
ance with the system of rotation
in vogue in the state, which puts
the exposition one year in Grand
Forks and the next in Fargo:
Again it is Fargo's turn.
The state fair will be held six
days in July from the twenty-6fth
to thirtieth inclusive. 1.-THE prog
nostication of the officers of the
association are to be taken as a
criterion it will be the best fair
ever held in North Dakota. There
are other reasons to lead to the
belief that the prohecy of the Off
GERS is correct. Never in the his
tory of the commonwealth were
the financial conditions better than
they are right now; never were
the prospects for splendid crops
any better or as good and it takes
good crops to make prosperity in
in this agricultural state. The
early spring will make an early
harvest and all sorts of farm pro-
ducts will be further advanced in
July than they have been for
many years.. All these things
help to make fair.
The officers of the fair associa-
tion have been at work for several
months upon the coming exposi-
tion and they have things we'll in
hand at the present time. Nearly
all the implement houses of the
country have secured exhibiting
space and will make complete
showing. At the present time
nearly every space in the ma
chinery building or the state fair
grounds has been disposed of,
which gives evidence of the in
terest that is being manifested in
the coming show.
