HOTELS REVEAL
GREAT GROWTH
CONSTRUCTION WORK IN SEW
ERAL TOWNS ON MANDAN
LINE INDICATES SPLENDID
PROGRESS.

Mandan. N. D., Dec. 2s.-Evidence
Of the manner in which the people of
the south line of the Northern Pacific
railroad feel that their country will
grow is shown in the construction of
splendid hotels at many points. Sew
eral of these have just been completed
and will be opened before Jan. 1.
Flasher's new hotel has been COM
pleted and the furniture practically all
installed. Carson has a hotel that will
be in full operation in about three
weeks, while Elgin has a $4,000 hotel
that will be opened Jan. /.
Some complaint has been made along
the new line already concerning the
train service At present only a tri-
weekly service is maintained, and be-
cause of that fact the travelling men,
especially, are greatly Inconvenience.
The N. p, is is understood, will in
augurate its daily train service with
the opening of spring.
Another new town will be started
on this line very soon, f. G. Massing-
ham being engaged at the present time
in laying out the townsite of Huss.
1t is twenty miles south Of Mandan.
and is eight and a half miles from
Gwyther. Being in the center of a
fertile valley and the nearest railroad
station to st. Anthony, an inland town,
1t has excellent natural advantages.

COLD Water gets

PEWA FALLS CHANGES MIND
AFTER SESSION IN THE
RIVER.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. 2ss--John
Christianson, aged IS, OF Greenwood.
Wis, jumped forty feet from a wagon
bridge over the Chippewa river here
into an eight foot swift current with
suicidal intent. He went under the Ice
and came up 200 feet down stream at
an air hole. He grabbed the ice and
crawled out, got to shore and after
wards said the cold water made him
feel better and the desire to die had
suddenly left.
Christianson arrived here Saturday
night, en- route home from New Rich
mond, where he had consulted DR.. Till
who applied a croton oil plaster TO the
patients back. Till had admonished
Christianson not to drink any whiskey,
but when he got here he took two
drinks Of liquor, and later in the night
the plaster hurt terribly. Christianson
thought he was dying. Lightly clad
he made his way to the river bridge
three blocks away, and made his high
dive successfully, and then came back
TO his hotel, where the police nabbed
him and rushed him to jail
He said: THE plaster hurt me so
badly was sure / was going to die.

stroke. / would have If I had remained
under the Ice, but the awful cold water

WHAT Will N. D.

Energy Sun: What is North Da-
kota going TO do with its SOC. 900. 900
tons of coal2 What is II going to do
with its vast clay deposits? What use
are we going to make of one-sixth Of
the coal supply OF the country?
1t is the belief OF The Sun that the
entire growth of the cities OF Fargo,

the growth of Eel Paso, Texas This

building up Of their city, with the re-
suit that the population increased from
$4,000 in 1900 to $4,000 in 1910. AS
before stated the six largest cities OF
North Dakota combined viii not show
growth OF as much as $4,000 In the
past ten years.
Now what is the reason for this?
North Dakota has natural resources

|AMIDORS RULING
STIRS NO COMMENT
DENNIsoN REFUSES TO DECLARE
WHETHER APPEAL WILL BE
MADE TO THE SUPREME
COURT.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 2s.-Word
was received at the department oil
justice today from District Attorney
Houpt of the decision of Judge Amidon
on the Indian liquor cases in Mime
sofa, which declared that the treaty OF
1851 with the Sioux Indians was abro-
gated by the forfeiture act of 1888.
Assistant Attorney General Dennison,
who is in charge of the liquor cases,
said today that he had not considered
the question in the light of Judge Ami
don's decision and that he could not
say whether an appeal would be taken
to the supreme court. Under the Nell
son act Of 1907 appeals may be taken
In such cases, in order to get a general
decision.
At the department Of the interior it
was said that the whole question is
now in the hands of the department
OF justice. 1t is probable, however.
that before any step Is taken looking
to an appeal, there will be a conference
between officials OF both apartments
Secretary Ballinger and Assistant At
torney General Oscar Lawler, his legal
adviser, are both out OF the city and
no expression on Judge Amidon's opin-
ion could be obtained from any affi-
cial interested in the Minnesota liquor
question. Mr.. Lawler some time ago
indicated that he thought the treaty
of 1851 was annulled by the act OF
1858, and it is possible he will advise
that no appeal be taken.
Should the governor decide not to
appeal from Judge Amidon's decision
President Taft viii not have much to
act upon in the matter of transferring
Indian territory in Minnesota from drv
to wet, as 1t will be up to congress to
release certain territory from the pro-
hibition area.

; nearby town win eclipse their

Of a nearby town will eclipse their
own.
Is there not a common ground on
which all our fellow citizens in this
big state can get together? Can we
not get together on the issue of the
| development Of the God given re-
| sources? Can we not unite on the pro-
gramme Of building up manufacture
ing? Will not every town in the state
benefit by the successes of a factory
building at Energy? If the linen in
dustry is made success of at this
will not other places take up the work
and make a success of it? If we make
pottery here will not some other place
that has the clay make pottery also?
II we produce cheap power here and
transmit 1t, will not some other place
benefit by it?
1t seems almost unreasonable to be-
Iieve that any person should be so
narrow minded as to oppose moves
that are strictly progressive and prac-
teal We have confidence in the peo-
pie OF the state of North Dakota but
they must learn that we have other
things besides soil and that we are
paying the east a heavy tax because
we depend on them for manufactured
articles.

BURDICK READY

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 2s.--Lieut
Gov. u. L. Burdiek has pronounced
views on certain questions of public
interest that he win deal with as pre-
siding oflcer Of the senate this winter
They are given out In a letter to a
Grand Forks friend In answer to re-
quest for statement as to his posi-
ton
Organization OF the senate through
the appointment OF the committees by
a COMMITTEE ON committees" a desire
to see the pledges of the party carried
into effect, and opposition to the steer
ing committee are. briefly. the views
OF the lieutenant governor. who comes
from the progressive faction Of the
republican party. Mr.. Brudick writes:
ut has been customary for the lieu
tenant governor to appoint all Of the
standing committees OF the senate.
Last session there was committee on
committees to look after this matter.
but IL was merely advisory, as Lieu
tenant Governor Lewis did in fact ap-
point the committees. Every Iieuten-
ant governor since statehood had ap-
pointed these committees.
II do not think the trainers of our
constitution ever intended the lieuten-
ant governor to have this power 1t
wasn't granted by the constitution.
But the rules of the senate from year
to year have been so framed as to
give that officer such power, and this
power has been exercised so arbitra-
rily in the past as to show Conclusively
that too much power in one man is a
positive detriment to needed legisla-
ton.
"If the senate sees fit to change it's
rules, which it has a perfect right to
do, and limit this arbitrary power of
the lieutenant governor. it will be,
think. a step in the right direction,
and 1t will have my earnest approval.
There is one thing / will not do.
and trust the senate will not do it
over my objections, and that is to
appoint what has4Peen known in the
past as a Steering committee. This
has been the graveyard of
more good legislation than was ever
killed by direct vote. Indeed, that
seems to have been the purpose Of the
kill bills without the
senators having to go on record. /
want to see every bill have a fair hear
ing, and If any be killed that there
be record of the killing"

auditor is preparing a statement OF
the mill tax levied and collected, and

USED
HIS ADVANTAGES

Energy Sun: When the snow melted
off the south side Of bluff on the
north side of hts farm, in the spring
of 1907, H. w. House guided the water
over a small tract Of land and raised
good crop thereon that year and
conceived the idea OF the present sys-
tenn of irrigation now on that farm.
He damned a coulee near his house,
which holds the water OF the melting
SHOWS of the spring and through a
we'll planned system of bitches and
gates guides 1t out over his farm. The
results of this spring flooding are set
forth in the following figures given by
Mr.. House:
In 1908, forty-five acres were flooded
and seeded. fifteen acres to wheat ten
TO oats, ten to fax and ten to corn.
which yielded: wheat, 50 bushels;
oats, 9S; flax, 10; corn, As. This yield
being about twice as large as that on
the same field where 1t was nos
watered.
In 1909 the dam was raised and 100
acres were flooded and sown 70 wheat
and oats and twenty acres to corn.
The wheat yielded Ala bushels per
acre and the oats 1877. 1T was too
wet for the corn and it yielded only
40 bushels.
This year, which was marked by a
total failure of some crops. gave a
yield of 32 bushels OF wheat and so
bushels of oats per acre. Crop in the
same field not watered was not worth
cutting. In 1909 a strip of Land planted
TO potatoes and flooded in July from
a rain, yielded at the rate of $40 bush
els per acre, while those with but one
flooding yielded $40 bushels. This
year the potatoes yielded $40 bushels.
Twenty-nine of these potatoes weighed
601k pounds.
These figures speak conclusiyely
that with sufficient water our soil win
produce an abundant crop. From 4
garden plot of an acre Mr.. House sold
I'm the neighborhood OF $3.50 worth Of
vegetables, besides all they needed for
their own use. Mr.. House says that
he does not know of better land ana
says that ten acres of it is worth more
than S2O acres OF upland. He has
bought 100 acres down south or
Energy which he now says is worth
$3.50 per acre.
