OUR CONGReSSMEN At SEA
Burke and Martin Go to Canal Zone
Rough Weather Met

Members of the congressional
party who have just returned from
a visit to the Isthmus of Panama
had a pretty rough time of it, both
on the voyage south and on the
way back to New York. Some of
their experiences will not be for
gotten for a good long while.
More than score of senator's
and representatives, with their
families, made the trip to the canal
zone. The very first night out
from New York the big steamer
Colon of the Panama Canal Steam
ship Line, on which they were
passengers, ran into a big blow
which lasted for more than forty
eight hours. This shook every
body up, but wasn't a circumstance
to the storm that ragged around the
vessel off Hatteras on the way back.
Great waves repeatedly broke
over the decks of the Colon, almost
every thing movable was washed
overheard and many members of
the party sustained injuries from
being thrown around as the big
steamer was buffeted by the enor-
nous pillows.
Senator Bradley of Kentucky
was badly bruised by big wave
that mounted the deck and caught
him unawares, and Representatives
Langley of Kentucky and Mondell
of Wyoming escaped being wash
ed overheard. The Colon was
never in any real danger however,
altho some of the members of the
party will never be convinced of
this fact.
Enthusiastic Over the Canal
All of the tourists returned with
glowing reports of the progress
that is being made in the construc-
tion of the canal and enthusiastic
over the ADMINISTRATION of affairs on
the isthmus.
In the party were Senator Brad
ley of Kentucky, Senator Warren
or Wyoming, Representatives
Needham and Knowland of Cali
fornia, Martin and Taylor of
Colorado, Steenerson of Mime
sofa, Langley, Thomas and Rouse
of Kentucky, Borland of Misso ari,
Burke and Martin of South Dakota,
Gudger of North Carolina, How
land of Ohio, Mcclure of Okla
homa, Smith of Michigan, Morri-
son of Indiana and Mondell of
Wyoming.
Nearly all of the congressman
we're accou panied by their wives
and many of them by other mem
bers of their families.
Mrs. Langley, wife of Represen-
tative Langley of Kentucky, who
accompanied her husband on the
trip, is now confined to her apart
ments at the Burlington from a

Scotty Brown Is "Mentioned"


The newspaper boys of the state
can undoubtedly be pardoned for
beginning SO early to talk of pros
pective candidates for popular
favor in the battle of ballots that
is still over a year ahead of us.
The long drouth which has pre-
vailed over the northwest has pre-
vented the pencil-pushers from fill
ing SPACE with forecastings of a
bumper crop this season, there
hasn't been any rumors of new
railroads that warrant one to go
very far in using that topic, and
the best the ordinary editor can
give his readers is the unreasonable
subject of politics. So the state
papers generally have been pick
ing QUO the available material for
a successor to Governor Vessey
and the other state officials, and
here in our own big county of
Stanley we are amusing ourselves
by finding timber for three repre-.
sentatives and a senator, given us
by the new apportionment. This
far we have found two possible
candidates for state senator. We
Gull the following from the Hayes
Homestead regarding two favorite
sons:
The Stock Growers News, of
Fort Pierre, suggests that &. l..
Millett, the representative from
this county in the last legislature,
should be the next senator from
Stanley county. MIR. Millett has
made good in his present position
but there is fellow named Scotty
Brown who we would like to see
honored with being Stanley soun-
ty's first senator, providing he will
consent to make the race.

Bridge Takes Another Trip

The bridge at Chamberlain,
which has got in the habit of TAX
ing a vacation from it's labors at
altogether too frequent intervals,
drifted down the Missouri again
Wednesday of last week. The
Milwaukee company has made
strenuous efforts to keep the struc-
ture in place during the spring
movement of ice. A vast quantity
of ice came down the river with
great force and swept away fifteen
bents, putting the bridge out of
commission for an indefinite period.

ment of the state. Probably many
of the brands are not used any
longer, the owners having gone
out of the stock business or sub
stituted a mark for their animals
that answered the needs better.
The number of new brands reg
istered at this session make it plain
that the settlement of the western
half of the state has not made the
use of this method of Identification
of stock obsolete. Rather, the
small ranchman finds it very con-
venient in keeping track of his
''dogies" and "cayuses.

Alfalfa Feed for Flock,

If your hens do not do we'll, try a
small patch of alfalfa. An acre will
be enough for few colonies.
1t has been shown that alfalfa can
be grown anywhere in the United
States and by starting with a small
patch Of 1t and gradually widening the
area as you get time to lime and In.
oculate the soil, you will soon have a
good-sized field of 1t. 1t is excellent
feed, both for hogs and poultry.
Alfalfa meal is one OF the best OF
winter feeds for chickens. The meal
ls semi-green in nature, besides con.
tanning a high percentage Of lime and
protein. Alfalfa meal will cost about
as much as wheat bran, and 1t has
about equal feeding value to bran
besides providing green stun for the
hens in winter when grass Ia dead. Try
some of the meal this winter and ar
range to grow your own alfalfa for tn,
dens and bees another year.
