News Of the Week From varL
Gus Psrts Of the State.
AGREES TO EEAPPOHT|C"".,,,--..T
Governor Burke Signs Measure Pro.
viding for Three Congress.
sionai Districts.

The report that Governor Burke had
vetoed the bill dividing North Dakota
into three congressional districts was
unfounded. Governor Burke did not
veto the measure, but signed it. If
congress passes the pending reappor-
tionment measure North Dakota will
elect three congressman from as many
districts in 1912.
The favorable consideration of the
reapportionment measure by the house
of representatives and the discovery
that Governor Burke did not veto the
bill redistricting the state has led to
much speculation as to who will be-
come candidates next year.. The meas
ure leaves Congressman Hanna and
Helgeson in the First or East district
and it is highly improbable that there
will be any candidates who could cope
with them. entrenched as they will be
by federal patronage and prestige of
Office. 1t will be fight to . finish

AN OLD TOWN Is REVIVED
New England, Dead for Many Years,
Takes New Lease.

The rapid development Of some Sec
tinns of North Dakota is attracting
great deal of attention. New England
was first settled more than twenty
five years ago by colony of people
from the New England states. They
were unused to Western methods and
failed. Several substantial buildings
were erected. but nearly all were torn
down later. The town was deserted
for many years until seven or eight
years ago it was re-established.
1t is now the terminal of the Puget
Sound branch into this state and as
lively a place as can be found in the
West. There are two newspapers,
three banks, large number of stores
and other enterprises.
That part of Hettinger county is
being settled rapidly and there has
been rush of homeseekers all spring.
A telephone exchange is being estab-
lished and the town has long distance
telephone connection and telegraphic
connection with all points of the
state.
