BLAIsDELL GAINING

Bowbells Tribune: The candidacy
Of Alfred Blaisdell for Congress from
the third district is gaining impetus
throughout the entire northern part of
the district and as the date of the
primary approaches there seems a
great tendency to eliminate the chanc.
es of any other candidate. Mr. Blais-
dells record during his tenure Of of.
fee as secretary of state is perhaps
receiving more attention than were
his actions while an official and said
friends and pointing him out as the
most logical candidate in the field and
is certain land the nomination for him
Mr.. Blaisdell is active. full Of energy,
alive to the needs Of the state in
congress do not seem to be selfish
motives, but for the interests Of the
people he is most competent, willing
and anxious to serve.

May HAD MANY
CLOUDY DAYS
Crop Conditions We're Never
Better Than They are
at Present

Only seven of the thirty-one days Of
May were days of sunshine, according
to the motnhly meteorological sum-
mary issued by Section Director Orris
w. Roberts of the United States
weather bureau at Bismarck Then
days We're partly cloudy and fourteen
were recorded as cloudy.
The total precipitation for the
month was 1903 inches The normal
rainfall for May is ESQ inches, hence
there was an excess above normal of
O.53 inch, reducing the total deficiency
of rainfall since the first of January
to O.19 inch. The heaviest rainfall fol
the month occurred on the 26th and
9th instant.
Eight thunderstorms were recorded
uring May, and there was light frost
on the 18th and 18th. with killing
frost on the 18th. A small quantity Of
hail fell on the 21st.
The average hourly velocity Of the
wind during May was 1873 miles, while
the hardest wind recorded was on the
5th, when 1t blew Al miles per hour
from a southerly direction.
The temperature for the month was
normal, although the year thus far has
been cooler han usual, the average
oaily deficiency in temperature since
the first of the year being 0.9 degrees.
The indications for securing good
crop were never better: The cool
weather has allowed the wheat and
small grain to secure better stand
than has been noted for many years,
and the moisture is deep in the soil,
30 that there ds little danger from
drouth during July and August, pro-
viding that two slow rains fall during
June and July.

c A. N. Spencer Of Grafton
Holds Contrary to Attorney
General Miller
States Belief North Dakota
Law Is Different From
That Of Idaho
MaDdanus Proceeding Against
Secretary Of State May
Instituted

Former Attorney General C. A. M.
Spencer of Grafton. who is candi-
datefor the attorney generalship at
the June primaries opposing Hon. An
drew Miller the present incumber,
takes exception to Mr. Miller's ruling
that voters of North Dakota must cast
their ballots for both first and second
onoice where there are three or more
candidates for the same ocf1e.
Attorney General Miller ruled that
in such instances it was mandatory
that both first and second choice be
designated by the voter; otherwise the
ballot for that special Office would not
be counted. To sustain his contention
he cited two decisions of the Washing
ton supreme court, and one of the su'
preme court Of Idaho, each OF which
a primary election law similar to that
of North Dakota. Mr.. Spencer holds
that in these two states there is an
expressed statement that voters must
cast their ballots for both first and
second choice where there are more
than twice as many candidates for any
Office as there are positions; that no
such express statement appears in the
North Dakota statute; hence the de-
cision of the supreme courts of Wash
ington and Idaho have no bearing on
the statuation.
In an open letter to the voters Of
the commonwealth Mr.. Spencer states
that he can see no reason, either in
law or equity, why a voter can be COM
PEELED both first and second choice
for any candidate for whom he does
not so DESIRE" It is believed that
mandamus proceedings against the
secretary of state will be brought after
the votes are counted in June in &C.
cordapce with Mr.. Niller's decision,
to determine whether or not the attor-
ney generals opinion is correct.

nestle and placer mining purposes.

nestle and placer mining purposes.
Battle creek has its source in the
foothills Of the Black Hills. The in
crease in the supply of water through
running the stream around the point
where such large volume Of water
disappeared will result in the revival
Of placer mining along the creek, for
it is supposed by old placer miners
that a great deal of placer gold has
been washed down from the Black
Hills, and now, with an abundance Of
water in the creek for sluicing pur
poses, can be recovered. A part Of
the increased flow in the creek also
will be used by the ranchers and
homesteaders for irrigating the lands
which they will cultivate this season.

IRRIGATION CANAL EXTENDED
10000 Acres Added to the Reclaimed
Area In Montana

Area In Montana
BILLINGS, Mont, June 3.-The
task of building the extension of the
Yellowstone District Irrigation COM
pany's canal, between Hysham and
Forsyth, is virtually completed and
the water will be used the present sea-
son to irrigate about 10000 acres of
land. The district was laid out four
wears ago and under the original ditch
only 5000 acres were reclaimed. This
lies within the borders of the coded
portion of the Crow Indian reserva-
ton, and all of it is now occupied by
settlers who have erected substantial
homes. The ditch is tw nty-nine miles
in length. A feature of the extension
is that for long distance the water
is conveyed in a wooden pipe six feet
in diameter in order to get it over ex-
ceptionally rough portions of the
route
