new DISTRICTS
FOR This STATE

Bismarck, N. d, Feb. 1O--With
the announcement Of the demo-
cratic victory in the lower house
of congress over the congressional
apportionment bill, all interest of
the legislature has revived in the
apportionment of North Dakota
for congressional purposes. The
numerous bills which had been in
troduced in both houses dividing
the state into three districts were
not withdrawn at the time the de-
cision of the republican caucus at
Washington was made public, so
they are all still in the two appor-
tionment committees.
Until word was received here
that the representation in con-
gress would continue to be 391,
the congressional apportionment
question promised to be the prin
cipal scrap of the session.
1t divided insurgents against
themselves as those residing in the
eastern part of the state opposed
the wishes of the insurgent lead
ers of the slope and the extreme
west.
The staIwarts were more united
and of one mind, all having about
decided upon most feasible and
practicable plan of cutting up the
state in accordance with the popu-
Iation for each district.
When word came that new con-
gressional apportionment for the
various states had been killed be-
fore it reached the floor of the
lower house at Washington, it
looked here as though the propo-
sltlOn which would give the east
ern part Of the state two districts
and make the west into one, would
have the most support. Advo-
Gates of that bill felt sure it would
carry as it was said enough votes
had been pledged which would as
sure passage of such measure.
Last night, when it was learned
that North Dakota would proba-
bly, have another congressman,
should The apportionment bill pass
the senate, the local legislative
leaders began at once to gather
their followers about them in
preparation for the fight which
pronis; S to be made in Bismarck
before the close Of the session.

SENATOR WANTS TO
PROBE WIRELESS
SENATOR M'CUMBER WANTS WIRELESS
INVESTlCATED-.POSTOFFlC DEPART.
MENT WANTS The INFORMATION

Washington, Eeb. 11.-Senator
McCumber today introduced
joint resolution providing for the
investigation of all wireless tele-
graph companies and corporations
in the United States. The investi-
cation of these companies is to be
made by the secretary of commerce
and labor, who will report the re-
suit of his findings to congress. A
similar resolution was introduced
a week ago in the house by Repre-
sentative Rucker of Colorado.
The point of this investigation is
to ascertain if possible whether
wireless has reached sufficient
stage of efficiency to be commerce.
ally valuable, at least enough so to
warrant the companies or corpora
tions in endeavoring to gain SUBJ
scribers to their bonds, through
advertisements sent through the
United States mails.
At present, it is the belief Of the
postoffice department that the
highly colored circulars being sent
forth by some of these wireless
companies are of such a character
as to be rated in the gold brick
and bunco class and an investiga-
ton by the proper authorities is
deemed best to establish, if possible
the real value of wireless as a COM
mercial proposition.

THE GOVERNMENT
RESERVES TRACT

Washington, Feb. 11.-Cong.
L. B. Hanna secured an executive
order from the president today
setting aside a piece of land in the
Berthold Indian reservation where
a white man first saw the Missouri
river and where the old Missouri
river crossing is located. The state
historical society is interested, The
Indians will he paid for the land.
Blue prints showing the location
and size of the tract mentioned
above reached the local land office

about $50 acres and is on this side
of the Missouri river about a mile
below the mouth of the Little

M'CUMBER Will
TALK AGAINST IT
SENIOR SENATOR FROM NORTH DA-
K0TA PREPARING SPEECH
AGAINST RECIPROCITY

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
McCumber is getting ready to
make speech in which he will
define his position as to the Cana
dian reciprocity, and let it. be
known that he is opposed to the
pending agreement. Many letters
and kilograms are coming to him
daily, AID the other members of
the North Dakota delegation, pro-
testing against the ratification of
the agreement, and these co:nmu-
nicatiOlis are to form the text Of
the McCumber speech.
He will say that Taft, in looking
over the vote cast in North Dako-
ia last November, probably made
up mis- mind that the state was in
surgent on the tariff question:, and
not really expected that its peop!"
we're in favor of the tariff reduc-
tions contained in the Can ulian
agreement.
The protest against the agree
ment, in the light Of the Vote, Mr..
McCumbcr will say, will proba-
bly, strike the president as being
odd. He will make the
argument, however, in favor of
the agricultural sections Of his
state, and insist that these sections
not be sacrificed.

BILL
AS AMENDED
AMENDMENTS TO IRRIGATION BILL WILL
NOT EFFECT WILLlST0N PROJECT.
ORDERS HERETOFORE ISSUED

We have been asked by several
land owners under this project as
to what amendments we're made to
the Irrigation bill recently passed
by congress. Upon looking it up
in the Congressional record we
find that the amendment would not
effect the bill as regards our pro-
iect. As submitted the bill pro-
vided that the Secretary of the
Interior could withdraw any notice
issued. AS amended the bill read:
Be it enacted etc., that the Secre-
tary of the Interior may, in his
discreation, withdraw any public
notice heretofore issued in section
4 of the reclamation act of June
II, 1902, and he may agree to
such modification of water-right
applications heretofore duly filed
or contracts with water-users'
associations and others, entered
into prior to the passage of this
act, as he may deem advisable, or
he may consent to the abrogation
of such water-right applications
and contracts, and proceed in all
respects as if no such notice had
been given.

The Evening Chit Chat

Rave you a definite personal ideal?

EsAVE you a definite personal ideal?
1t seems TO me that every nan and conan who has IS the
u = better for it.
Do fail to make myself plain? I simply mean that everyone should
have, besides a n ideal of accomplish ment, an embodied ideal in the
shape of some human being whom he would like to resemble.
Admiration Is the heaHhiest of human sentiments. Every strong adj
miration we feel for something good and fine lifts IS a step nearer the
infinite.
The man who can seldom see anything in his fellow men 10 admire
may know that he is probably at a n intellectual and moral standsdI.
1t is the man who Is continually looking up who usually gets up, not
the man who doesn't believe there is anything up there worth looking at
Now to admire character and ability in a general way is-an excellent
stlmulant, but to focus ones admiration on some definite personality is to
give this lever Of admiration a vastly greater lifting power.
l don't believe there is a great mar or woman today but could point
to some other great mar or woman and say: Because he o r she was so
splendid / was helped to be what / am"
1t is so easy to become concentrated on what oneself is doing, to
think overmuch Of what n has already accomplished, and to find pro-
gress-kiling satisfaction in comparing ones achievements with what in
feTior men have done, instead Of looking at them with the divine content
that comes from comparing ones own performances with what really
great men have done.
Now to fasten upon some person who has been really great in ones
own particular line, to study him and admire him and love hin, to re-
mind one self constantly of the pettiness of ones " achievements be
side the greatness of his, and yet to be sinewed by his courage into follow
ing determinedly, no matter att ow great a distance, in The path which he
trd and towards the goal which he reached-this is to make the sent-
ment of admiration the strongest possible lever of sefhelp.
If possible select someone you not only admire, but for whom you
have at least a touch of intellectual ahnuy-that is, someone whom you
fancy you might have been congenial with and might even have been a
bit like if the gods had seen fit to make you of the great men
