WATER WITCHES.

Why is It that nearly every farmer
employs a water witch before digging
q well-and has the mystic locate the
vein Of water by means of the tradi-
tional stick?
From ocean to ocean, from the great
lakes TO the gulf. this system of find
ing water is almost universally fol-
lowed.
Every neighborhood has its man with
second sight and the power to charm
away warts. Usually he is also the
water witch--or more properly, the
water wizard. This man cuts a "
shaped hazel branch. Grasping the
two prongs OF the v. he holds it firmly
yand moves about in mysterious man
ner. Suddenly the almost jumps out
g-of his hands-and points downward to
the spot where water is sure to be
$found.
OF course water is usually found. II
can be found almost anywhere il a
well is sunk deep enough. The mystic
of the hazel switch gets his fee, and
everyone concerned is satisfied. The
public forgets the failures Of the waite,
wizard. Like the phrenologist ant
clairvoyant he goes triumphantly on.

FRIDAY, AUG. 4. 1911.
THREE CONGRESSMAN.

AS soon as President Taft affixes hi
signature to the bin North Dakota will
be entitled to a third congressman
This measure does not become opera
tive till the next general election. The
new member will be elected In the fall
of 1912 and eligible to take his seal
March 4. 1913.
There win be at least two new faces
from this state in congress after that
date--as under the crazy districting by
the last legislative session - both
.Messrs. Hanna and Helgesen are in
the same district.
This win leave new men to make the
race In the central and western dis
tricts. That the contests in those will
be lively is certain.
Z 1t Is understood that in the second
Geo. M. Young OF Valley City. former
Congressman Marshall of Cakes, At
torney Hanchett and state Senator
Bessesen OF Harvey and possibly
Others will seek the republican nomi-
nation.
In the western district, State Sena-
tor Simpson of Dickinson, former Sec
rotary OF state BIaisdell of Minot and
Lieutenant Governor Burdick are the
leading candidates now in the popular
mind. There will no doubt be others.
With Hanna and Helgesen in the
Red river valley district it is a GER
tainty that both cannot be reelected.
1t has been frequently urged that
Hanna become the stalwart candidate
for governor. 1t is pointed out that he
has had two full terms in the lower
branch Of congressional he has moth
ing to gain by further service in a
house dominated by the democrats
and that he could win greater political
honors by making the race for the
governorship-than by remaining in
congress.
The friends of Congressman Hedge
sen have urged the same thing in his
behalf
1t is conceded that either Hanna or
Helgesen would make formidable CUB
ernatorial timber--and that IL either
man secured the nomination he could
easily defeat any candidate the demo-
Gratis could name.
There are a number of people who
wanted Lieutenant Governor BurdiclS
to make the race for governor-but it
is understood his personal preferences
are entirely along the congressional
side OF the game. In fact the creation
of the two new districts takes several
leading insurgents out OF the race for
state offices-if all rumors of congress
sional aspirations are correct.
The indications art the next politi-
cal campaign will be an interesting af-
fair-and there will be some fun for
all.
