SHEEP GO a. MONTHS
WITHOUT ANY WATER

Washington, July 7.-Sheep on the
Nebo National forest, Utah, go four
and half months without water ex-
cept for such moisture as they get
from the dew and the juices of forage
plants.
Grazing sheep on a range entirely
destitute of water is a recent innova-
ton, due to the increasing demand for
forage and the efforts of the forest
officer to find a place on the forest
range for all the stock that can be
safely admitted. The area on the Nebo
which has now proved usable by sheep
iG high and rocky, a portion of it be-
ing above the timber line, and it has
neither springs nor streams of suffi-
Gent size or accessibility to be used
for stock watering purposes. The
grazing season lasts from June Is to
October 81, and during this period of
four and a half months the animals
do not get a drink
Under such conditions, however, the
sheep have done extremely well, and
last years lambs from this range had
an average weight at the end of the
season of 6S pounds on the Chicago
market, which was rather above the
normal weight from that vicinity.
In one area on the Targhee forest
in Idaho, sheep get water only twice
during the four months summer graz
ing season. There is no water on the
range, but the sheep are driven to
nearby stream lower down the noun
tain side. Lambs from this range
weighed So pounds on the Chicago
market.

OPTIMISTIC
Says Trade Reports Continue
Satisfactory

New York. March 1.--Dunn's Review
today says:
Reports from leading trade centers
continue satisfactory in most instances.
There is a large distribution of the
principal products and sustained activ-
fty in retail trade. particularly in sec
tions favored with good weather. Out
side of those markets, which, by rea-
son Of their larger and more sensitive
speculative organizations, have been
directly affected by the important
events happening in various parts of
the globe. business sentiment main
tains steady, conservative attitude,
even on the eve of the first change in
the political control of our government
in sixteen years.
THE railroads, which are about to
arbitrate their differences with the
firemen and are still buying heavily of
needed supplies, gained S.2 per cent in
gross earnings during the first three
weeks of February. The exceptional
activity in iron and steel is maintain-
ed. The copper market, however, is
depressed.
THE market for securities has again
been more or less, unsettled. The in
tereSt and dividend payments due
March are estimated at $4,000, 900
more than last year-the increase be-
ing mainly In industriaIs. Time money
continues to be firmly held but Euro
pean gold demands are lessening. For
eign commerce continues to establish
large balance in this nations favor"

GrOwth-Leadng Bank Of the State

1t was Just thirty-five years ago to-
day that the great financial institu-
ton that is known all over the Unit
ed States as the First National bank
of Fargo opened it's doors and began
business.
To be explicit the banking institu-
ton began business March /, 1878,
with a deposit of $11,S63, this report
being made a few days after the bank
opened it's doors.
Time has brought about many
changes, for that amount at that time
virtually represented the banking
business almost of the entire state.
AT that time about all the business
in Fargo was confined to that part of
Front street below Fifth street with
the exception Of a very few stores, a
printing office and some offices which
were occupied by lawyers. Practical
ly there was no business whatever
north of the Northern Pacific tracks.

The bill was recommended for in
definite postponement by the commit :

called on the adoption of the report.
there was a tie vote, 40 to 40, and a
single vote would have swung 1t, but
that vote was lacking
1t was the only measure that was
discussed to any extent during a. long,
routine session of tho house Repre-
sentatives Butler of Ramsey and But
Ter of Ransom opposed the measure.
while WARDROBE, Diyet and others rail-
lied to its support. MIR. Klein moved
that inasrnuch as no one but colonel
would make a proper liquor Inspector
the bill should be referred to the com :
mittee on military affairs. The vote
was taken by acclamation and the
ayes were declared to have 1t. A diyi-
sion was demanded, and on a standing
vote the motion lost.
AfterWard it was moved to indefin-

principally in the cool morning air, and
his night clothing, a patient at local
hospital eIuded the vigilance of the
nurses who were watching him, and
escaped.
The man, whose name is Schwerdler,
has been suffering from dementia and
on making his escape took course
down the river, running through the
snow along the river bank and across
the fields for several miles.
The pursuing party, which set out
after him almost at once, found him
finally, somewhat weary, but en-
tirely unharmed, otherwise. Apparent-
ly the morning air had acted as a
tonic.
The mans escape was made by way
Of the fire escape, at the hospital, but
the perilous descent was made with
the greatest ease. In the course of his
perambulations over the country.
Schwerdler treated himself to a cold
bath in the Sheyenne river, complete
ly submerging himself, In order to cool
off after his strenuous cross country
run. When his bath appeared suffici-
ent. he left the stream, and continued
on his way.

SENATE CLEANED
UP lot OF WOkK

Bismarck, N. D., March 1.--While
there was no single item creating
much interest in the senate yesterday
there were good many bills over
v hich there were slight clashes but
the session ended with a great deal
of work having been accomplished.
When the senate was sitting as O
committee of the whole the initiative
and referendum bills were taken up
again and when the committee arose
& report was adopted recommending
that senate bills Nos. II, 153, 80 and
73 do pass and that No. 122 do not
pass. House bill No. 1873 was left
where 1t was and no action taken on
1t. If the bills recommended for pass
age pass the senate and the house 1t
will give the people Of the state four
propositions to vote on, one being the
Initiative and referendum as applied
to the statutes, one applying to the
constitution, one applying to the re-
call of all officers and one providing
for the initiative and referendum as
applied to the statutes and the con-
stitution, and then IL house bill No.
133 passes 1t will give the people
another bill providing for all the pro-
visions, initiative and referendum as

stitution and the recall of public Of
ficers Gilbert made the statement
that he did not believe it was right
to put up the people so many bills,
and in fact asking them to act on
something that the senate itself could
not agree upon which was a good bill.
Gibbens also objected to such a
duplication of bills but Talcott said

THE LIQUOR
INSPECTION
BILL KILLED

Bismarck, N. d., March 1. - The
liquor inspection bill, the most i'm
portant prohibition bill before the
present assembly, was killed by the
house this afternoon by vote Of
SO nos and 4S ayes, being absent
and not voting.
The opposition to the measure at
tempted a, coup Immediately after the
house was called to order at o'clock
by placing the bill on third reading
under suspension of rules when it was
quite apparent that it's supporters
would be unable to gain the constitu-
tional majority. Those supporting
the bill secured call of the house
and action was delayed till full men,
bership was placed.
Wardrope and Buck made plea
for the measure, while Sorlie, who
yesterday voted for the measure made
a plea against it, having changed his
opinion relative to the bill. Campbell
OF Morton also fought the measure as
did Butler of Ransom.
Buck, during the progress of his
remarks, contended that more
financial support was needed for pro-
hibition law enforcement. He pointed
to the refusal of the legislature to al
low the bills of Heffron and Johnson,
assistant attorney general as slap at
the prohibition law.
Sorlie contended the real danger to
the prohibition law was in making the
measure obnoxious.

CONNECTED
NESS WITH
TOBACCO CO.
Mrs. M'Ksnzic Says She In
troduced Him to Rice
Divst and TwicheIl Were on

Told Same Story As They TOId
Before the House

Bismarck, N, D.. March ben G.
Ness charged with attempting to
bribe members of the legislature in
the interests of killing the anti-snuf
bill, is having o hearing before Judge
Nuessle as committing magistrate.
Representatives, Divet and TwichelI
who are the complaining witnesses
were on the stand and told sub
stantially the same story that they
did before the house when Ness was
found guilty there.
Mrs. Mckenzie, a stenographer IN
the employ of the house of representa-
Htives, was on the stand ia the court
this morning. The testimony given
by Mrs. Mckenzie this morning was
the first that has ever been given that
connected Ness directly with the
tobacco company or snuff company,
and she stated she had introduced
Ness to Rice who is the vice president
of one of the companies interested in
the killing of the anti-snuff bill.
Mrs. Mckenzie also stated that M.
j. George, chief clerk in the house
was interested in the killing of the
bill but did not intimate that he was
to receive any reward for any work
that he might do, nor did she say he
was working in any way on the bill,
but it created sensation when his
name was mentioned. Asked if she
knew the whereabouts of Lee Petit
bone, who has been mentioned as the
man who was holding the money, she
stated that she understood he was
''outside of the United States
Mrs. Mckenzie also stated that Mr..
Twichell had told her that it looked
as though the house desk force was
trying to juggle the bill when he dis
covered the amendment had not been
printed in the journal, following the
day il was made. The hearing will
be continued at 1880 tonight.

NO SENSATIONS
in REPORT ON
STATE TREASURER

Bismarck, n. D., March 1.-The re-
port of the special house committee
that investigated complaints laid in a
resolution, against State Treasurer
Olson was made this afternoon. 1t
carried nothing sensational, merely
containing several recommendations
as to systems of accounting, etc.
1t was found that Mr.. Olson did not
reside at the capital, in spirit with
the law covering that question and
under which the Legislature had made
an advance on salaries from $4,000 to
$4,000 annually, the extra thousand
being provided to cover the cost Of
the Inconvenience due to the ~necessi-
ty for removal.
1t was pointed out that the securi-
ties offered as deposits by the trust
company, under the law covering that
point, should be examined as to their
worth, some of these being in the
form of real estate, mortgages, etc.
A better system of checking school
and university lands is advocated.
Also it was recommended that exam
nations of state offices be made from
time to time by outside experts. 1t
was also recommended that the atten-
ton of the officials to investigation
reports be called for the purpose of
securing action on recommendations
that may be included. The members
of the committee are j. w, Calnan,
N. E. Davis and Arthur Dixon.
A bill to create an inspector of
weights and measures was killed in
the senate this afternoon. A minority
report favored the passage of the bill
but the majority report was adopted
which killed the measure.
Senator's Talcott and Gilbert talked
against the bill on the floor. The bill
lad been offered by Senator IIeutz
and 1t was predicted that d. B. Well
man would have been Inspector had
the bill prevailed.
