Senate adjourned at 4:5s.
The high rate. OF premiums asked
of counties for bonding their county
officers the past year has caused the
state senate of North Dakota to pass
a law that the state shall conduct a
bonding department of its own under
the jurisdiction of the insurance COM
missioner, and after considerable dis
cussion and numerous statistics
were read the bill passed the senate
Thursday afternoon by a vote OF AZ
ayes and 3 nays.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Ellingson, and was known as Senate
Bill 1856. The original bill provided
that the bonding department should
he under the jurisdiction of the state
examiner, but after the bill had been
referred to the committee on ways
and Gneans. Of which Senator Elken is
chairman, an entirely new bill was
constructed.
When the bill was placed on its
third reading Senator Talcott stated
he was not sure as- to what would be
the outcome to the taxpayers should
the state decide to enter into the
bonding business, and for the sake OF
getting all the information possible,
he thought the measure should be
thoroughly discussed by the members
of the upper body of the legislature.
Senator Ellingson, author OF the
original measure, was prepared for
the occasion, and he read information
that he had received from SO counties
over the state, and quoted the differ.
ence in the rate for premiums charg-
ed counties for bond. He said that
in the past 6 years the rate had varied
from sc to 78 cents hundred. He
had found that the rate charged the
last year was practically the same in
every countys.of the state, and it ap.
peared to him that the bonding COM
panies had entered into a combination
and as result the counties we're be-
ing charged excessively. His figures
showed that on an average 1t cost
each county the past year $S16 for
bonds, an annual income of $56,O0O,

Big GAME FIELD

VIRGIN HUNTING GROUND IN -
GERMAN EAST AFRICA. J.

Berlin. Nov. IA new hunting
field of vast area, still untouched by
the rifle Of the white sportsman. has
Edward White, the American author,
In g. letter written to a friend in Ber-
lin, Mr.. White calls this territory
probably the very last big virgin
hunting country in the world.
Mr.. White, accompanied by his wife,
first went to Africa shortly after Col
Theodore Roosevelt visited the coun-
lighted with his experiences" that he
returned recently with a new expedi-
tton.. He obtained permission from
the German government to hunt in the
German territories, and here found
the country he describes.
After being out of touch with civil-
ization for, many weeks, Mr., White
toria Nyanza. He writes that the new
field, where the sound Of a rifle never
has been heard is as big as the hunt
ing grounds Of British East Africa,
and that there are in it thousands
upon thousands of head Of game of all
sorts. Wildebeeste, which are found
In big herds, stand at 100 yards dis
tance to watch the party pass, and
other animals, many of them OF rare
species, are SO tame that the hunter
can walk up to them in plain sight.
The country is composed Of low hills
reaching down to the open plain: the
climate is good and Mr.. White sus-
poets that the region lay SO long un-
visited because of the difficulties of
getting in.
Everybody in the party was well at
the time of writing and Mr.. White ex-
pected to finish his trip about Dec. /,

mortal, submitted by Postmaster
Plumley, showing the necessity for

retary of the Treasury McAdoo, Sena-

The commercial club OF Fargo real
tzes that the government desires
efficiency In the postal service as the
first element. while economy is con-
| sidered secondary.
We also realize, that neither Of these
important results can be secured from
the Fargo postOffiCe at the present
time, because Of the rapid increase Of
the business Of tie rff7ce and the

In ten years the stamp sales have

sixteen to AZ, while the floor space of
the workroom has only Increased from
1885 square feet to 1888. and of all

The scriptural injunction, IF a man

modern times by Rev. Prentiss Ell. Case,

Delegation in Congress--Building Needed

may be too small Bids were received
last April for this site but owing to-
pressure of business no inspection of
these sites has yet been made by the
treasury department.
1t will take about five years from.
the date Of the approval Of the site

ready for occupancy and by that time
the pOstOffice facilities will not be
one-half large enough to property
transact the business. resulting in
both unsatisfactory service and q,
much greater cost OF doing the work.
than would otherwise be the case.
Not only is the postoffice hampered
by too small quarters, but this is the
case with nearly all departments of the
government occupying the present
structure, especially the department Of
justice, where the federal judge needs
larger chambers to accommodate his
official library, the United States dis
trict attorney should have double his
present office room, and the clerk Of
the federal courts needs much larger
vault facilities, as all of the federal
court business Is centered at Fargo for
the entire state.
These are only few Of the argIl-
ments which could be presented as to
why the commercial club OF Fargo re
spectfully calls the attention Of the
government to the needs of Fargo in
the shape of a new and more conmo-
dlous public building In this city. These
demands are so urgent that we respect
fully ask that the project be expedited
as rapidly as possible.
This memorial is hereby authorized
addressed to the postmaster general.
the secretary OF the treasury and to
the senator's and members of congress
from this state at Washington, beIiev-
ing that all will realize that prompt
action must be taken in order not TO
interfere with efficiency and economy
in the transaction of government bust
ness.

I, s. Washington, Nov ss.-Tle spresi-;
dents belief that the Huerta govern
Inent is slowly. crumbling was reiter
ated at the White House. President
Wilson pointed out that the Mexico
press could print, uncontradicted,I
baseless statements as to the future
intentions Of the United States.
AS evidence of the ability Of the
Huerta government to spread any i'm
preston it pleased through the press,
the president referred incidentally to
the optimistic predictions during the
last few days in the Mexican papers,
that the recognition of the Huerta
government by the United States was
forthcoming. The Washington gov
ernment, it is known, is irrevocably
determined under no circumstances, to
recognize Huerta.
Interest is shown in official circles
in the presidents Forthcoming mes
sage to congress, as President Wilson
indicated that he would keep his mes
sage abreast of the developments in
Mexico.
President Wilson today expressed
satisfaction over the attitude of for
eign governments. He indicated that
this attitude throughout showed a de-
sire to cooperate with the United
States whenever possible. .. ..
