Five thousand miles without tire
being punctured and with but one
arrest for exceeding the speed limit
is the record established by A. p.
White, president of the Northern Ma
tional Bank, who arrived in Bemidji
at 1880 Saturday evening after a
tour Of the eastern states which be-
gun at Detroit, Mich, on June 3.
1t was at Seabrook, N. H., that the
strong arm of the law reached out
and gathered in Mr.. White and
$10.62 cents of his money. >,

Ran Into a Trap.

Mr.. White was alone at the time,
and it was about the first opportun-
ity he had had to see what his new
car, a 40 h. p. Cadillac obtained at
the factory in Detroit, could do when
given a chance. He was chugging
merrily along when he bumped into
speed trap laid for automobilists.
"There are a large number of
these traps in the east" said Mr..
White, "and at many of them the
automobile clubs have erected warn
1ngs. ass The traps are worked BY an
electric bell. When the machine en-
tiers a measured tract the bell rings
which signals an officer a mile
away"

At the Bar of Justice.

Mr.. White was taken before New
Hampshire magistrate and quickly
found guilty of whatever degree it is
that calls for IS fine. Mr.. White
was inclined to fight the case, but
was informed that he must furnish
bonds to appear in court at some fu-
ture date. The fine and 1852 in
costs was paid.
This was the only unpleasant in

Black and wife from Detroit to Bath,
Maine, and included the cities of
Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Syracuse,
Springfield, Boston and Albany.

At Springfield trip of nine miles
was taken to Wilbraham, Mass,
where Wesleyan Academy is located,
in order that Mr.. White might be
present. at the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of the class of 1886, of which
he was member.
At Boston, trips were. made to
Concord, Lexington and Plymouth
Rock, and at Bath, the residence of
Mr.: Whites parents short visit was
made. The trip home was practical

from that city to Bemidji was made

Regarding Underground Wells.

Before closing, | would like to
state emphatically that it is well
known fact among engineers and
specialists on underground waters
that wells placed close together
have Il great influence upon each
other. The exact amount of inliu-
ence can only be determined after
the spacing of the wells is known,
the amount of water taken from
each well and the character of the
water-bearing rock. It is also a
well known fact that the greater
number of feet of water bearing
rock pierced by the drill, the
greater will be the capacity of the
well to supply water. This is true
although the pressure at the surface
may not increase, but the capacity
is more particularly shown when it
becomes necessary to use deep well
pumps.
Trusting that these recommends
tons will outline plan which can
be followed out by your city under
the direction of your city engineer,
Mr.. Wilson, | am, Very respectfully,

HAMMOND is GIVEN PLACE
Made Member of the Ways and
Means Committee.

Made a Member OF the Ways and
Means Committee.
Washington, January 20.--Repre-
sentative Hammond of Minnesota
was elected last night member of
the democrat committee on ways and
means at the party caucus held for
the purpose of perfecting the organ
ization of the house in the sixty-sec-
ond congress.
This place will give Mr.. Hammond
voice in the framing of the tariff
bill which the democrats will pre-
sent to the new congress. 1t has
been a good many years since a
democrat from Minnesota served on
this important committee. The re-
pubicans of the state have been rep
resented OH it many times.
Representative Tawney served on
the committee about ten years. He
was Il member of the committee
framed. Representative Tawney was
succeeded by Representative Nc.
Cleary when Mr.. Tawney was as
signed to the craftsmanship of the
committee on appropriations.
Mr. McCleary maintained his con-
nection with the committee until his
defeat by Representative Hammond.
The Minnesota member owes his as
signmcnt to the good offices Of
Champ Clark of Missouri, who was
nominated for the speakership.
The democratic "hog combine" al
loted the place to the Ohio delega-
ton. The members from that state
became embroiled in row with re-
suit that they were unable to make
a choice. Accordingly Mr.. Clark rec
commended the assignment of Mr..
Hammond. He was put on the slate,
which was adopted in accordance
with the cut and dried program pre-
pared i'm advance of the caucus. Mr..
Hammond's place on this committee
gives him an opportunity for leader
ship. He will not only have a voice
in the making Of the new tariff bill.
but he will be in position OF in
fluence by reason of the fact that
the ways and means committee in
accordance with the resolution pass
ed tonight is charged with the duty
of naming the other standing COM
mittees of the house.
1t thus becomes the most powerful
committee in the house organization.

The only district anywhere near
the proper size for the new scheme
of ten districts is the first, which Is
about 800 too low. That is nearer,
however, than the district would be
with the addition of another county
So the first is not changed in the
new scheme. The second, third and
seventh are all too small, and terri
tory is added to them. The other
districts are too large and are cut
up. The proposed districting leaves
each of the nine congressman now
at Washington in district, and Gre
ates one new district out of part
of Hennepin county and several
counties lying Immediately north
Here is the scheme:
The Proposed Redistricting.
First district, unchanged, 201,0 1854
population.
Second district, now with 172,202
population, increased by adding
Lyon, with 1922, and Lincoln, with
1874 total, 1878.
Third district, with 1S2,O27 popula-
ton, increased by adding Washing
ton, with 26,O13; total, 2OS,O40.
Fourth district, Ramsey county
only, 223,675 population, Washington
and Chisago being dropped.
Fifth district, part of IIennepn
county, 212,375 population.
Sixth district, part of IIennepin
county, with 121,105 population, with
Wright, 3S,39S; Anoka, 12,493; Sher
burne, S,136; Isanti, 12,615; kanabec,
6,461, and Chisago, 1857; total, 2O7,-
I745.
Seventh district, now with 190,930
population, reduced by dropping Lin
coin and Lyon, but with addition of
Douglas, 19.9f9 population, and
Meeker, 1902; resulting population,
202,305.
Eighth district. made up from
northern and eastern section of pres
ent eighth, as follows: St Louis
county, 1924; Lake, SOIL; Cook,
1886; Carlton. 1859; Aitkin. TO-
81; Pine, 15,S7S; total, 216,429.
Ninth district, made up largely
from present sixth and containing
Congressman G.. A. Lindbergb, with
following counties: Beltrami, 1887;
Hubbard, 9,S31 Cass. 11,620; Itasca.

TEN NEW CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRlCTS IN THE PLAN.
Second Would Be Increased BY the
Addition of Lyon and Lincoln
Counties; Third Take on Wash.
ington; First Unchanged; Con-
gress Must Act Before March a;
Recast in Progress.

ncCdSt III oS'SSS'
ST. Paul, January 19.-HOw to di-
vide Minnesota into ten new con-
gressional districts, in place of the
present nine, is problem already
engaging the attention Of members
of the legislature. 1t seems certain
now that congress, in fixing the
membership of the next house, will
give Minnesota another member.
Congress must act before March 4,
so there will be time for recasting
the Minnesota districts before the
legislature adjOurns.
The 1910 census gave Minnesota
2,075,70S people. Ten congressional
districts will have an average popu-
lation of 207,570, and in framing new
districts the legislature will try to
make them as near the size as pos
sible without dividing counties, ex-
cept in the case of Hennepin, which
has 10000 more than enough peO-
pie for one congressman.
One scheme of apportionment has
already been worked out, which is
fairly even as to population and dis
turbs the present districts as little
as possible. Members of the legisla-
ture in some of the districts where
changes are to come have been con-
suited, and given their approval in
the main to the scheme. which is
elastic enough to permit of several
alterations without disturbing the re-
mainder of the districts. This will
depend on the preference various
counties have as to where they are
attached.

LATE AFTERNOON
PROGRAMME

Following the address on Alfalfa,
delivered by Professor waldron OF
Dickinson. fun account of which win
be, found on page Is Of this issue, 1t
became necessary to change the pro-
gramme somewhat
Prof. Max Bait of the A. C. delivered
an address on The Farmers Library:
He said the farmer needed other
books than those which alluded or took
up the subject Of farming. While they
are interested in agricultural pursuits,
they are also interested in many other
subjects. The man who is only inter-
ested in his own trade isn't qualified
to take up the everyday walks Of life.
He believed the farmer should be
supplied with literature of all kinds,
not just of the special type. He be-
lieved in the newspapers and maya
zines. He explained how the farm
ers could get books from the state
library commission by simply the ask
ing and paying the freight one could
get almost any kind of a book or set
of books he wanted.
Dr. Bats address was listened to
with close attention and he answered
many questions. He expects to have
an. exhibit of the travelling library sys-
tenn before the week is over, for he
believes it to be a good idea
He said North Dakota had more
progressive farmers than any other
state in the union.
One of the finest papers of the after
noon was that delivered by Prof. c. B.
Waldron of the Agricultural college.

Not Faithful to Interests Of
People, He Says

Washington, Jan 17.-Richard A.
Ballinger, secretary Of the interior, was
the object of carefully prepared at
tack today by Senator Purcell of
North Dakota. The senator delivered
a set speech in support Of his. resolu-
ton submitted yesterday to the SEN
ate, that Ballinger was unit to retain
his Office in the administration be-
cause OF his alleged administration of
departmental affairs. Purcell was a
member of the so-called Ballinger-
Pinctot investigating committee.
"The overwhelming weight of n
dence taken by the committee satisfies
me that Ballinger was not faithful to
the interest of the people, is not an
efficient public servant and that the
resolution offered should be adopted"
