Affecting Milk River Water Rights

Washington, Jan. 2I--M essrs. W.
b. Sands, j. l.. Truscott, Armstrong
and Boyer, representing land owners
on the Milk river project, had a con-
ference today with Director Newell
OF the reclamation service and sub
mitted tentative draft OF the con-
tract which they suggest be sub
mitted to the Milk RIVER Water
Users Association, il approved by
the department. This proposition
has been referred toSecretary Ballin-
ger for action.
Under this form ofcontract settlers
OF the upper valley, who have their
own irrigation system, will be per-
mitted to nse their present bitches
for distri n,,tiOn of water without in
curing any extra cost. First, how
ever, they will be required to release
to the government al prior appro-
priation Of any stream of the Milk
river, and thus avoid long court liti-
CATION looking to adjustment of
water rights, which will revert to
land owners in case the government
does not carry through the Milk
river project.
Mr.. Sands, after Il conference to-
day, said he expected the terms pro-
posed by the Milk river settlers
would be accepted by the depart
ment.

slons Of the Hookway bill In two days
time along with the great amount OF
other BILLS NE have on hand"
In speaking Of the letter from Sem
atoF Hoolway to all the members Of
the house, Mr.. Price said: "A letter
from a member Of the upper house to
the representatives In regard TO this
bill is quite without precedent and
do not know OF any case where a sem
ator has gone so far out OF his way
to cali the attention OF the house to
his measure as In this case.
Senator Hookway win be given
every opportunity TO appear before
the committee" continued Mr.. Price,
$50 that he can explain the features
Of his bill In detail. There have been
a number of other requests for this
privilege, too. A delegation has written
me from Minot and several other dele
cations have written me, and they will
all be given the chance TO be heard"
II Is predicted that the Hookway bill
will not have smooth sailing In the
house, though the friends of the meas
ure are hopeful OF its passage. The
same thing was said Of the bill be-
fore It was brought up before the sem
ate on its final reading, but 1t pass
ed the upper house with a good ma
jority. 1t may have like fate at
the hands OF the representatives.

citenent being intense and that poll.

ing here TO take any steps toward in'
PREVENTION in the matter prominent
members Of the house have scoffed at
the idea and branded the story as
absurd.
Last night statement was issued
by Mr.. Price of Fargo to The Fargo
Courier News, which was as follows:
Your criticisms of the possible ac-
ton of the Cowan committee, and the
probable action of the house are I'M
Just and unfair. You insist on convic-
ton before evidence is all in. Hold
Judgment until committee reports at
least / find no sentiment in the house
to whitewash Judge Cowan but do
find an intention to be fair and just
and an insistence on full, fair and
impartial investigation"

HOOKWAY MADE
The HOUSE SORE

Bismarck, N D., Feb. Ex-senator
Hookway has an interesting time
ahead Of him. In regard to his well
known mechanics lien bill, which re-
Gently passed the senate successfully,
! though it encountered much oppo-
,sition, the senator from McHenry
county has issued circular letter,
4 of three pages length, to all the mem
ibers OF the house, before whom the
bill now comes for consideration.
A letter from a member of the SEN
ate TO the house collectively or in
dividually is rather an unprecedented
occurance, and the action of Senator
j Hookway has caused not a little com
tnent. Just what these comments
have been and how his letter has been
received would probably be discon-
certing to its author to hear. 1t is
known, however, that the kindliest
sentiments have not been expressed bv
o. large number of the Representatives,
some OF whom resent not only the con-
tents of the epistle. but the reception
of such.
The Hookway letter deals extensive

The house committee on state ar

referred last Saturday when 1t was

what indignant over the fact that
the members of the committee claim
Senator Hookway conveys the impress
sion that his bill is being held up
IN the committee. Mr.. Price of Fargo
Is chairman Of the state affairs com
mittee.
Said Mr. Price to The Forum rep-
resentative last night in regard to the
matter: i do not see how the state
affairs committee could have acted
any more speedily than 1t has on this
bill. The mechanics lien bill Of SEN
ator Hookway only reached the house
Saturday and we did not transact ai,y
business Sunday. That leaves Monday
and today for US to have gone over
1t thoroughly and reported 1t back

House Routine Tuesday.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb, 22.--The house
routine yesterday was:
Initiative and referendum bills, three
in number, were passed by the house.
The Doyle Ployhar bill relating to both
constitutional and statutory enact
ments, the Gibbons bill for constitu-
tional amendments, and the Bessesen
bill for statutory amendments, were
the bills passed by the house. The
Doyle Ployhar bill came from special
committee or the house with an amend
ment whereby it is made committee
bill and does not bear the name of the
two members in question. The Bes-
sesen and Gibbons bills were passed by
the senate and with the favorable ac-
ton of the house go to the next legis-
lative assembly,
S. B. 1853, the Gibbons initiative and
referendum bill, was passed immedi-
ately by vote Of rs to 8, and the same
motion made by Mr.. Frame that its
consideration be made special order
for o'clock Thursday prevailed.
The other two bills passed were pre-
viously passed by the senate. with more
or less discussion on both.
Board Of Control Bill.
With good majority the Hoge bill
providing for board of control for
penal and charitable institutions was
passed by the house yesterday after
noon after 1t had failed of passage al
the morning session because of a short
age of votes, although 1t had ma
jority Of those present. AT the morn
ing session the bill lacked only one
of being passed, and there was an
immediate motion for reconsideration
which carried and the bill was made
special order for the afternoon.
During the morning session about an
hour and half was given over to ths
bill and further amendments were
made. AS it now stands it becomes
effective July i, controls penal anC
charitable institutions, with board Of
three members. An annual appropria-
ton OF $4,000 for the board is pro-
vided.

may be indicated by the following fig-
ures. During the last year of the
civil war there were 204 general hos
pitfalls under the control Of, the medical
department of the United States army
with a capacity of 1884 beds.
If the medical department of the
army of 1866 had undertaken to fur
nish a nursing service comparable
with that which is considered neces-
sary in our large hospitals today an
army of over $4,000 nurses would
have been required. There were, how
ever, no trained nurses available in
those dark years of the civil war, but
today there are in the United States
alone over $4,000 women who have
graduated from training schools for
nurses, than which there are none
better in the world, and from thes,
the Red Cross hopes to enroll at least
10000 nurses-10,0O0 selected women
who are not only vouched for by
schools for nurses from which they
have graduated, but are recommended
by well known members of their own
profession.
The system of enrolment adopted by
the Red Cross is a guarantee to the
nation that in the stress of calamity
or the turmoil of war there stands
ready for service a band of women
worthy to follow in the footsteps of
their great teacher and exemplar,
Florence Nightingale.

~. Accidentally there was check for
$25 inside the dollar bill, which the
legislator had unintentionally folded
up inside. Later Mr.. Stranahan was
hunting high and low for the check,
wondering where he had lost it. While
he was eating breakfast the next
morning, and still wondering what he
could have done with the slip of paper
which was so valuable, the lad brought
it to him, much to the relief of the
popular member from Cass.

in Washington, d. c., in 1898, with
view to bringing about the erection OF
United States university in order to
carry out Washington's wishes for the
greater diffusion Of knowledge in this
country. About two years ago reor-
ganization took place, and Mrs. Dr.
mock, sister of the late William G,
Whitney, secretary of the navy under
President Cleveland, became president.
Mrs. Dimock proposed the still broader
form of memorial which instantly re-
ceived the highest praise in all quar-
tiers. Under her energetic guidance,
the association has laid the foundation
for sure success in the splendid show
ing made at it's annual meeting.
There already exists a widespread
interest in this movement. In New
York, subscription blanks are being
displayed in public institutions of
many kinds and in stores, to enable
citizens and children to offer birth
day tribute to washington by entering
their names upon these lists. Ohio is
to have a special room named for that
state in the memorial building. Mrs.
Joseph B. Foraker, wife of the senator,
is the Ohio state chairman, and has
interested the schools of Cincinnati in
making a. large subscription to the
Children's wing. Delaware also has
its state branch, Mrs, Mary Bringhurst
being state chairman. The work there
is progressing rapidly. In other states
the movement is steadily gaining in
popularity, Massachusetts, and New
Jersey being especially interested.
Children TO Help.
A Children's wing is one of the feat
ures of the building, to be built from
the Decent contributions of children,
and devoted to their interests. The
association gives very attractive pins
to contributors to wear as tokens of
their part in the work. One of the dis
tinguishing features of the movement
is that it is not saddled with executive
expenses. There are no administration
salaries whatsoever; the officers and
advisory board are high-minded per-
sons. mostly of affluence, who are ac-
tuated wholly by motives of patriotism.
