Cavalier county under the new state
apportlonment is pretty certain to be
again formed into one legislative district
instead of two, the eastern and western
halves of the county each having form
ed separate district since 1900. The
development OF western North Dakota
in the past decade calls for more
equitable representation in the state
legislature, which can only be made by
a decrease in representation in the cast
ern portion and the addition of more
members to the western half. Like
other of the older counties Cavalier
is sure to criticise the change as in our
case the county resumes its former
status of one district, the Eighteenth,
represented by one state senator and
four Representatives In case of the
Nestos apportionment bill becoming law
as it now lays before the house place
on the legislative ticket will mean as big
chore for the candidate for votes as
though he were running for county
office

The republican majority of 30 in the
senate year ago has dwindled down to
very small proportions; SO much so that.
with the democratic legisla' ures of
Maine, Colorado, Montana and Nebraska
returning democrats to ill the vacancies
that will be caused by the expiration of
the terms of republican senators from
those states which will expire within the
next two years, it will require but ,ne
more democrat, from any state, to make
the senate democratic in 1913 The out.
look is brightly democratic. 1t all de-
pends upon how the party ful6lls its
pledge to the people whether or not
there will be government democratic
in all it's branches after 1912.

OPPOSE DELAY OF
 CONTR0LLERbAY
 INVESTIGATION

Washington, August 9.-The proposal or the House interior department expendi- lures committee to delay until fall fur ther investigation of the Controller bay affair in Alaska. involving the alleged Dick to- Dick letter, will be opposed bit terly by republican members of the House. They claim the committee is try ing to drop the matter after allowing unwarranted reflections to be cast npon the President and the administration.
 Two resolutions looking to immediate disposition of the matter were introduced by republicans today, one in the House by Representative Humphrey of Washing by Representative Burke of South Dakota, one of the three republican members. No action was taken on either resolil- ton.
 MT. Humphreys resolution asked fo. the discharge of the committee from con- sideration of the matter and the appoint ment of a special committee to conduct the inquiry.
 The Burke resolution provides that Con- trolier bay be made special order and that the hearings continue from day to day until thorough and full complete in quiry has been made of the whole sub ject."
 Mir. Burke endeavored to have this con- sidered in open session. but Chairm an Graham ruled him out of order and by a vote of four democrats to three re- publicans the committee went into execu tive session.

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE

Memphis, August 9.-Gen. George W. Gordon, communicative n-chief of the United

Funeral ar arrangements have not been announced, but the obsequies probably will be of a mill itary character, and the body will be laid to rest in this city probably Sunday.
 Weakened by the heat of the past 2i hours and his feeble frame wasted by the ravages of a slow illness, the light of General Gordons life grew dinner hourly today. When. following a restless right, he awoke from ftful sleep in the early morning hours, the watchers at his side saw that the end was but a question of hours, perhaps minutes.
 As death approached peace seemed to envelop his face, for he smiled as with comforting words he bade relatives adieu. He died at o'clock this afternoon. At the bedside of General Gordon when he died were his wife and other relatives.

EITHER AGREE OR
 DISAGREE TODAY.
 SAYS UNDERWOOD

Washington, August 9.-There was much activity today in the interest of an agreement between the two houses wool bill, resulting in an understand ing that Senator LaFollette and Repre- sentative Underwood. constituting the sub committee of the full conference committee, will make an early effort to reach an adjustment. The close of the day found the two legislators still apart on essential details, but nearer together than heretofore.
 When they were in conference on Tuesday Senator LaFollette gave MT Underwood to understand he could not possibly get his followers to agree to a rate of less than 30 per cent on raw wool, while MT Underwood had told him that 1t would be necessary to come to 2s per cent. if not to 25, to in sure the acceptance of the conference report by the House.
 The Senate representative undertook to make a canvass. but with little hope of success. He had been assured of the support of only eight of the insur- gent republicans of the Senate for 30 per cent. He could afford to lose only two votes and his investigation was not reassuring.
 Mir. Underwood was more confident than his fellow -conferee, leading to the conclusion that he might go far ther than he had yet manifested willingness to go. His optimism was due to a change in conditions in the House.
 The democrats of the House have been thoroughly canvassed in the last two days to determine whether they would support an increase of the rates in the Underwood bill in order to eff feet compromise with the insurgent democratic, strength of the Senate. It was asserted today by prominent dem ocrats that MT. Underwood has found an unexpected strength in favor of meeting the. LaFollette forces on the best possible compromise basis, prefer ably something below 30 per cent on raw wool MT. Underwood said today he expected the wool situation would solve itself tomorrow, when the full committee probably will meet.
 We will either agree or definitely disagree tomorrow" was his assertion. He added that if an agreement was reached two or three days might be necessary to put the conference agree ment into form of bill to be pre- sented to the two houses.
