Lowell said in part: at is a pleasure
to me to give a welcome to any class
Of citizens who come here to meet for
any good purpose, and 1t is doubly
pleasant to welcome this great body
of men who have done and are doing
so much for the great state of North
Dakota. We are grateful that we have
the accommodations to take care OF
you. We are grateful that the railroad
facilities are such that you are able to
come. We arc pleased that You are
here. We are pleased that we have Ia
our city that great agricultural in
stitution, the North Dakota AgricuI-
tural college.
You will not find anywhere over
this great state or In the northwest
a warmer welcome, because we know
you. You have sent your boys and
girls to the A. c. here and we Judge you
by them, because they are well be-
haved.
I'VE think you too, should be con-
graduated in coming to US. Agricul4
ture is one of the Oldest IL not the
oldest occupations in the world. There
isn't any industry in the world that
reaches its magnitude. We hear about
the corruptness Of great corporations,
yet none of your great work. Owners
Of great corporations go to Jail for dis
obeying the laws Of the country, yet
there is none of this for the farmers.
THE up-to-date farmer must be
man who keeps In touch with modern
methods of farming.
This state of ours has beer endow-
ed by nature with probably the best
soil in the world, yet with all that you
raise less grain per acre than the
heather Chinese. l hope, however,
the day will come when you will farm
scientifically and / believe It will, be-
cause / don't believe there is any class
Of people in the world who keep in
closer touch with what the world is
doing. You are learning up-to-dats
farming and 1t will help you. 1t viii
help us, because what helps you can
not but help the entire state.
1--WE hope you Will make yourselves
at home here. We hope your stay
win be pleasant and beneficial. Again
l welcome you"
MIR. Van Arnan1's Response.
John Van Arnam of Kindred deliver
ed the response and he said the farm
ers wished to thank the people OF
Fargo for their warm welcome.
1T isn't many years ago since the
pioneer crossed the eastern states and
came TO this state. Fargo is the pride
Of every citizen of the northwest. We
have seen it spring from a little ham
let OF shacks to this magnificent city.
God gave US this rich soil, not TO
abuse but to hand down to posterlty,
even more fertile than when we got
it. Our population is rapidly increas-

men in that vocation and life. He was

DEEP WATERWAY
BALM TO CANADA
Townsend Has Substitute for
Reciprocity Bill.

Representative Charles E Townsend.
of Michigan, introduced in the House
yesterday a joint resolution, the passage
of which is intended to have considerable
effect in gratifying the growing demand
for reciprocity with Canada, and along
a line outside that advocated by Presi-
dent Taft in his recent agreement with
the Dominion. By its terms, the Presi-
dent is directed to determine the advis-
ability of entering into treaty or other
amicable relation with Canada providing
for a deep waterway from the Great
Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean by way Of
the st. Lawrence River.

ton had the sanction of President Taft,
and was. ia fact, devised during con-
ference between himself and Mr.. Town
send at the White House late Thursday
night Mr.. Townsend introduced the res
olution when the House convened yester-
day He asserts that while it is impos-

FRIAR LANDS NOT
GOTTEN ILLEGALLY
Philippine Fraud Charges
Refuted by Report.

That certain corporations in the United
States, notably the American Sugar Re-
ining Company, came into possession OF
lation of law, as charged by Representa-
tive Martin, of Colorado, is specifically
denied in a report made to the House
yesterday by the Committee on InsulaI
Affairs. The committee was instructed
by the House, under the terms of a res
olution offered by Mr.. Martin, to in
quire into charges that sales and leases
of public lands have been made in the
Philippines in violation of law
In a speech made in the House Mr.
Martin said that American corporations
were exploiting Philippine lands and thai
members of the Philippine commission
had leased lands to themselves and to
certain favored individuals. all of these
acts, so it was alleged, being in viola
ton of the laws governing the appropria-
tion of public lands in the archipelago.
The report of the House committee,
filed by Representatives Martin Z. Ohm
sted, of Pennsylvania, sets forth that the
sugar trust is not directly or indirectly
interested in the purchase of Philippine
lands. The trust was supposed to have
acquired a large tract of land in the
San Jose estate on the Island of Min
doro.
AS to the charge rejecting on the MEM
bers Of the Philippine commission, the
report says;
1--WE find that the administration of
lands in the Philippine Islands has been
fairly and honestly conducted, and that
the charges and insinuations to the con-
trary are unwarranted and unjust"

HOUSE CALENDAR
ABOUT CLEARED
Bills from Senate the Only
Business to Come.

With its calendars practically cleared
and appropriation bills well on their way,
so far as the lower branch could dispatch
them, the House last night listened to
speeches while it waited for bills from
the Senate.
The House is always in a playful mood
in the closing hours of a session, and its
members gave full vent to their joyful
ness last night. Here and there an anxious
Representative betrayed some worriment
ever the prospect of a special session,
but the membership as a whole felt re-
signed as to whatever might happen in
this regard. Representative Frank NJ.
Nye, of Minneapolis, brother of the
late Bill Nye, was invited to talk He
delivered lecture that he has been pre-
senting on the Chautauqua circuit for
many years. His theme was 'HThe fra
ternity of man.
Three appropriation bills were sent TO
conference by the House before mid
night They were the postal, sundry
civil, and naval bills.

PEARY TO RECEIVE
CONGRESS- THANKS

Civil Engineer Robert E. Peary yes
terday received his long-deferred re-
ward. BY vote of 154 to 81 the House
passed a Senate bill which proposes to
retire Mr.. Peary with the rank and pay
of a rear admiral and to extend to him
the thanks of Congress. which carries
with it the privilege Of the Senate and
House chambers. Very few persons
have received this last honor since the
foundation OF the government. A hasty
perusal OF the records by several mem-
bers, of Congress yesterday brought to
light the names OF only twenty-six men
who had been formally thanked By Con-
gfess

INCREASED POSTAGE
KILLED IN SENATE
Taft Authorized to Sift the
Magazine Situation.

The amendment to the post-office ap-
preparation bill proposing an increase OF
postage rates on second-class mail mat
ter from 1 to cents a pound was
withdrawn when that measure was taken
up in the Senate yesterday. This Is the
administration provision that aroused the
wrath Of the magazine publishers.
In announcing the withdrawal Of the
amendment Senator Penrose, the chair
man Of the Senate Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads, submitted sub
stitute which empowers the President to
appoint a commission OF three persons to
inquire into the subject and submit its
report to Congress.
Efforts to add to the bill the Top Velle
SilI, forbidding the printing by the gov
eminent of envelopes with return ad-
dresses thereon, and the DOdds bill, ad-
hitting to second-class privileges without
the usual compliance with the postal reg
uIations in such matters OF fraternal,
benevolent, and educational publications,
we're defeated by points Of order.
The amendment recommended by Post
master General Hitchcock that the ap-
preparations for the rural free delivery
and the star route services be merged
aroused much opposition The opposi-
ton was finally allayed by a compro-
mise amendment offered by Senator,
Johnston, of Alabama, which put a
Limitation upon the amount Of money
that may be spent for either kind Of
service.
Increase for Carriers Blocked.
Senator Jones. of Washington, got an
increase of the allowance for travel pay
for the post-office employees from $50. 900
to S1.5Oo,O00.
Senator Penrose, in charge of the bill,
prevented the proposed increase Of the
salaries of rural letter carriers to $3.50
a wear.
The bill carried a total OF $4,000 0o0.
