Re-apportionment Up Today.


According to the schedule of the
house in the state legislature, bill
for reapportionment will be intro
duced and considered this mornin.
Sentiment in the house itself appears
to be divided and it is said that the
senate is opposed to such bill. I'm
der the circumstances, it is hardly
possible that northern Minnesota will
get justice at the special session.
It is said that one purpose in in
PRODUCING the bill is to allow mem
bers from districts that want reap
portionment to go on record and so
save their faces to their constitu-
ents. Such practice is pernicious,
since it is not only deceiving, but
is also wasteful of the states time
and money. If reapportionment
bill comes to vote, it will at least
show the complexion of the house
in the matter.

Is the story of Mr.. and Mrs
William Schultz Of Ypsilanti, who
were in jamestown this week. and
who had just concluded the transfer
Of their l.O0O-acre farm, preparatory
to their retirement from active farm
ing operations.
Their history reads like a story
from the Arabian Nights. But trut.,
is stranger than fiction. as a recount
Of their success in Stutsman county
will demonstrate.
Just thirty years ago MIR. and Mrs.
Schultz were working hard in the old
countryside a whole year for the
magnificent sum OF $12 and he for
the princely salary Of $50 a year. II
worked harder than a hired man
does now" said Mrs. Schultz. in re-
calling the early days when as a
maiden she worked out in the SUM-
shine and invtgorating air and drank

has made life very sweet and dear
ever since. William. too. worked
equally hard and in the open and he.
and rugged constitution that long
years OF activity here only kept in
good shape. Money came very slowly
with them and they could not wait
to secure enough to bring them to
the wonderful land across the seas.
and so MIR. Schultz borrowed money
to come here.
How much money did 1 have when
I came e ?" asked Mr.. Schultz, and
asserting:
II had less than nothing. I had
to borrow money to pay my fare.
But I wouldn't have to now" and he
shook with humor at the situation.
For five years they have made their
home in Jamestown. where Mr..
Schultz worked out. helping in the
Gladstone block. the court house and
other buildings in Jamestown. Then
he went to Ypsilanti and nine miles
east OF there bought a small quanti-
ty Of land which was added to from
year to year until he became the
owner Of 1.120 acres Of as fine land
as there is to be found in all Sttus-
man county. Here he erected not
long ago a $4,000 home. put up COM

chase price besides. He will occupy
the home until March l next. Some

During all the time Mr.. Schultz has
bee ma resident of Stutsman county
he has been paying all his living ex-

rate of an average of $500 a year.
And when he contemplates his stay
