colleagues in the House have been

Congress assembled after the holidays.
He has worked much along the lines
that he followed in 1901, when or

of that year for a house of $50 MEM

would still remain for the Senate to
enact the measure, but the Senate will
approve of any measure that the House
passes and once the House has voted
the various state legislatures will
know what t. expect in the number of
Congressional districts to be carved
out of their respective areas.
The Maine legislature will be one of
these. Tho problem for the Demo-

districts for the Pine Tree State and
to decide. if four Representatives are
authorized, whether they will let the
districts stand as at present. or re-
arrange them.

disputed Peters ballots and 433 UNI
disputed Jordan ballots and 81 ballots
upon which the committee were un-
able to agree. Nine defective ballots
We're thrown out.
The 3S ballots in dispute were taken
up separately. Attorney Hamlin OF
Ellsworth opened the argument for Mt
Peters. He cited rulings by ASsociat-
cd Justices Savage and Spear and
then took up the ballots one by one.
He laid down the rules under which
the seated member wanted the ballots
counted but did not make any claims
as to totals. Mr.. Hamlin in closing
paid high tribute to Mr.. Jordan and
said his client desired only that the
will of the people be determined.
Mr.. Hurley stated that his client also
simply desired that the ballots be fair
" counted. He went back to Il de-
cision of the law court handed down
last June, which he claimed was di-
rectly opposite to the Sagadahoc and
oxford county cases recently decided,
In this case any mark other than a
regular cross is claimed as a diStin-
gushing mark.
One ballot had a column of figures
on the margin. All the parties agree
that these figures were not there when
the ballots We're first reported. Mr.,
Hurley claimed that if the figures were
not there when the ballots were first
counted some one must have had ac-
cess to them since and that the figures
were meant to distinguish that ballot.
1t was about L. M. when the hear
ing was completed and the committee
went into executive session.

the opposition would not choose to
give us a stiff fight on the floor"
The Maine men feel that If the
Crumpacker amendment goes through,
there is no occasion to be alarmed
about the status after the next ten
years. The population of New Eng
land has begun to grow and apparent
ly in the next decade will grow as
rapidly as the population of Western
states. There is no reason why the
population of Maine should not soon
increase quite as rapidly as that of
any other New England state. The
development of the great water pow
ers is expected to attract extensive
manufacturing industries and these
will draw employees in no small meas
ure from other states.
Although Gov. Burleigh retires from
Congress within a few weeks and will
give way to a Democratic successor,
he has been none the less jealous in
getting the larger apportionment
through. 1t has been the main thing
upon which he has worked since Con-
gress convened.
But TIE struggle to obtain votes
upon the floor was the next important
thing and Gov. Burleigh and his Maine

Brookings Professor
Examining the Soil

Mitchell, S. D., Aug. 3.-Experi-
ments are being made by Prof. A. H.
Hume, agronomist of the South Da-
kota state college at Brookings, in
an effort to determine the cause of
partial failure of crops, and to sug-
gest possible operations that will
have tendency to prevent such fall
ures in the future.
A scope of country six miles wide
and nine long in Hudson county, near
Fulton, was travelled over by Mr..
Hume and his party, sketches of the
contour of the land were made, and
deep borings in the soil to get good
samples which were taken to Brook
ings for analysis
From this it will be determined why,
under certain conditions, the land
GOES not produce the crops This work
is the beginning of soil examination
il South Dakota with view of find
ing out what it contains, what ii
needs and what treatment to give 1t
to raise it to it's maximum production.
When he had gathered the samples
from eight or ten farms DR.. Hume,
who has done much Of this work in
Germany and in several states, de.
lclared he had never turned soil au.
CUR in better soil. He expects to
make report on his investigations
within q short time. The experiment
tai work will be carried into several
counties of the state. for the require.
ments Of the soil is varied in diner.
