Middle District Idea.
The middle district idea of con-
gressional division, with especial ref
erence to the sentiment expressed by
the James river valley delegates and
others from that region, is expressed
in bill introduced yesterday after
noon by Mr.. Default of Stutsman
county. He, provides for an eastern,
a central and western district. The
divisions proposed follow:
Ffrst-Pembina, Cavalier, Towner,
Ramsey, Walsh, Nelson, Grand Forks,
Steele, Trai4, 6zss, Ransom, Sargent
and Richland.
Second-Bottineau, Rolette, Nc
Henry, Pierce, Benson. Sheridan.
Wells, Eddy, Foster, Griggs, Stuts-
man, Barnes, Kidder, Burleigh, En-
mons, Logan, Mcintosh, LaMoure and
Dickey.
Thigd--Burke, Divide, Williams,
Renville, Ward, Mckenzie, Mclean,
Dunn, Mercer, Oliver, Billings, Stark,
Morton. Hettinger, Bowman and
Adams.
The movement in favor Of the two
eastern and one western district, as
proposed in the DISCARD and the Ell
ken bills, the former in the house
and the latter in the senate, is be-
ing pushed by the eastern members.
The work Of signing up has been
pushed vigorously although many
members Of the assembly have not
felt disposed to sign up yet, referring
to wait until they hear from home. -
Stutsman county delegates. particu-
larly Mr.. Default. are anxious that
the east, central and west districts be
provided, and do not look with favor
upon the Homnes and Simpson bills
for two western districts and one in
the east, or on the two eastern and
one western district division plan.
Recess Abandoned.
Mid-session recess, so far as the
present week is concerned, Is appar-
emily out of the question. The re-
fusal of the senate to concur in the
house resolution providing for a re-
cess from today until next Tuesday
ends the discussion for the present
moment.
At the present time 1t is understood
that there will be an effort to Sc
cure recess for the latter part of
next week and for that movement, it
is expected that more popular con-
sideration will be received. The idea
of having recess at the end Of next
week is one that has been under con-
sideration for some little time and
there are many members, opposed to
adjournment this week, who will vote
favorably to resolution that would
grant a recess from about February
8 to IA.
Just at this moment the work of
the assembly is in splendid running
order. Committees are meeting with
regularity and the number of bilzs be-
ing reported out is indicative OF the
results that are being accomplished.
