Hanna Has Returned
To North Dakota
Tells Of Affairs in Washington at the Close Of
Congress-This State has Fared Exceeding
ly Well.

OOuSress ClOsou ldSC Week duu
Congressman G Hanna. returned to
this state at once.
In conversation with his friends
he said: 1T does me good to see
the faces of my friends once more"
"It makes me feel good to see the
way the city has grown since I
was away these seven months, and
to me it is astonishing.
'There has been much talk over
the railroad bill and it is one of
the greatest measures that has
ever been passed in any congress.
You will remember the president
ordered an injunction against the
railroads aud it was begun by the
attorney general. The railroads
then threatened to stop all i'm
provements. It was then that the
president sent for the railroad
president Of the east and west and
had them meet in Washington and
discuss the matter in a sensible
manner. The injunction pro-
ceedings were stopped, the rail-
roads withdrew orders for the
sections of work until the rail-
road bill was passed and now mat
ters will adjust themselves in a
few days to the satisfaction of the
people and the railroads.
Il want to say that this is con-
sidered the biggest thing President
Taft has done and good judges
say that it is the best railroad act
ever passed by any congress.
"We here in North Dakota,
have Jared exceedingly we'll in
legislation that has been passed.
We will soon have public or
federal buildings in every city in
the state that has free delivery Of
mail, for that is one of the re-
quirements necessary to, secure
q federal building. In this session
the buildings bill calls for enough
money to enable Williston, Wahpe-
ton and Mandan to get federal
buildings, while the other towns
in the state having free delivery
have had $4,000 each given to
them for building sites which in
surss beyond doubt that they
will be in line next year for an
appropriation for the erection Of
the buildings themselves.
"The work Of the session has
been exceedingly hard and trying
this term, and one must be on
hand at all times 80 as to do his
part when called upon to do 80.

as being too slow. So Krupps, in the
case Of balloon artillery mounted on
wheels, have designed the wheels so
as to be pushed forward out OF the
way, with handles attached to either
axle, which in a couple of simple rev
outions can alter the entire direction
of the gun. For fortresses the bal
loon guns can be mounted with other
ordnance on pivot, and the same
mounting is used for ballOon-artillery
fixed on the platform of armored mo-
tor cars, which would pursue the air
cruiser until a suitable range was Oh

Opinions arc still divided as to the
nature of projectile to be discharged.
For spherical balloons shrapnel is un-
doubtedly the best, but as a cruiser
