HANNA COUNTY
IS PROPOSED
H0mrsteaders Coucei1c Idea .ot
Forming Ne1v Organisation
ON Reservation.

Plaza, N. d., March 10.-Some
200 Berthold reservation home
stcaders held meeting here in
the Ieomen hall, and pledged
to bend every effort to
make that portion of the reserva-
ton thrown open to settlement a
new county, to be named Hanna,
if success crowns their aspirations.
The ho1nesteaders' intention is,
that territory is wholly unorganized
territory, that they have right
under the unorganized territory
act to organize their own county
government.
President Natwick introduced Z.
4. Dickinson of Ryder, who pre-
sented to the meeting the legal
aspect OF proposed suit the home
steaders mean to bring before the
state supreme court to define their
status. The contention is the
counties of old Ward and Mclean
illegally ran their lines into the re-
servation under the laws of 1891,
that permitted the ten counties to
extend their limits, the law apply
ing having since been declared I'M
constitutional by DIR supreme
court.
Mr.. Dickinson's views were en-
Enthusiastically received. He was
followed by Secretary Larin of the
Berthold Development league,
which has the matter in hand, and
was authorized to act for the
homcstcaders in instituting legal
action. .,.
The name of Governor Hanna,
after whom the new county will be
named if a county is permissible,
evoked tremendous applause, the
men cheering and the ladies way
ing handkerchiefs. 1t was an ova-
ton any man may we'll be proud of,
brought about by the sense that
settlers, owe to Mr.. Hanna. in
large measure the opening of the
reservation that has given them
farm homes. Quite a number Of
the homesteaders spoke, every one
in favor of the project to form a
new county.
A pleasing feature Of the gather
ing was the music furnished by the
Reservation orchestra, comprised
of former Banker Thos. Forde OF
Northwood, playing clarinet; Mrs
Forde, pianist, and John A. Ander-
son. violinist. ....
The result of the meeting is the
l1on1esteadcrs' organization is now
well under way and from now on
DEVELOPMENTS will follow fast.

LEGISLATURE DRAWS CLOSE. TO
WIND UP OF Deliberations
Outlook for Larger Fund for farm School
Senate Given More Time for
Exchange Of Bills

PLANTATION Of his position with refer
ence to the matter of Industrial En-
position accounts, mentioned in the
investigating committee,s report.
The purport apparently is to shift
resi- onsibility of several contracts
mentioned.
Senate bills number 1863, providing
for county assessors, which had been
killed, was revived and passed by the
senate. ..
A concurrent resolution recalling
bill 1872 from the governor was not
recognized as sufficient authority for
such recall, and the governor vetoed
his first bill. It provided for deputy
hire in county Offices.
With a very brief period pending
the close of the Thirteenth legislative
assembly the senate has been prodded
INTO exceptional ACTIVITY, nOldlnS CON-
mittee meetings all morning, conven
ing at / o'clock IN the afternoon and
last night. for the first time, holding
an evening session.
The house has been taking things
rather easy the past week in spite
If tho fart that tho SocSion is dra win o
to close, for the members of the
lower branch have been an active
bunch all thru the session, and are
we'll along with their part of the work
In fact, the entire session in the
house has been marked by the dis
patch with which business was hand
led, although there has been an oc.
casional Chewing match" just to
break the monotony.

Month OF February
Was Mild and fair
Month Had Little Remarkable IN
Hay Of Weather Excepting
Dust Storm.

February was marked by fair
weather and low precipitation ac-
cording to the observations of Prof.
Simpson who is in charge of the
bureau at the univer-
ity. The records show that in both
these respects February, 1913, was
below normal The average mean
temperature for the station for the
Of February was "a de-
grees while that for the month just
passed was 40 degrees. The mean
precipitation for the station for the
month has been SO inches, while
that for the month Just passed was
10 inch.
No extreme temperatures were
reached, the Warmest day being 81
degrees above and the coolest %
degrees below. The warmest Feb
ruary day on record was February
%, 1901, when the temperature
reached 50 degrees, and the cold
est February day was February !.
1898, when the thermometer reach
ed the absolute minimum for the
station Of A degrees below zero.
The month past. as in fact the
whole winter, has been free from
any severe storms. The dust
storm Of, Feb. 10 was perhaps the
most remarkable meteorological
event Of the month. During this
storm the wind from the west bv
northwest reached a velocity of 4S
miles per hours and drifted not onlv
SNOW but dust in a very unusual
manner. The snowfall of the
montl, was light, only an inch Of
measurable snow being recorded.
Sleigh;ng has therefore been poor
and automobiles have kept the road
with case. In all of these features
the month was characteristic of the
entire winter, winter which will
be remembered. if remembered at
all as a pleasant winter. But with
the usual aptitude of the mind for
remembering the abnormal types
and letting slip the normal, Febru-
airy, 1913, will probably soon be for
gotten as far as its weather is con-
ccrncd.

Bismarck, N. D., March 6.-When
senate bill 1876 put in it's appearance
on third reading in the house today
it was found that the appropriation
committee had offered an amendment
appropriating $4,000 for a dairy and
creamery building and equipment and
$1,000 for a dairy herd at the Agri-
cultural college at Fargo. ~
Action on the bill was deferred I'M
til it has been reconsidered by the
committee of the whole. It is be-
lieved, however, that the Agricultural
college will receive this additional ap-
preparation.
Proceedings of the house would have
been suddenly halted had the joint
rules not been suspended giving the
two branches until Thursday after
noon at 1880 o'clock to transmit bills
from one to another -.
According to the rules the time limit
was up at o'clock today and had the
rules been followed the advantage
would all have been on the side Of the
house as it had disposed Of. and trans
mitted most of its measures to the
senate, while the senate is rather de-
linquent.
Out of consideration to the senate
the rule was suspended "a hours the
house apparently is now satisfied with
it's investigation of state officers, as
the final report of the investigation
committee was adopted and the COM
mittee and state officers bonds was
discharged.

houses and at a late hour this morn

HOME SEWER MAY SAVE TIME:
A. Little BastIng as Possible Should
Be the Alm-Not Hard to Hold
the Work Together.

II saves time and eyesight to DO a.
little basting as possible for machine
sewing. In making up supplies Of.
clothes, such as underwear and school
dresses, ETC., 1t is worth while 10
haste and At accurately one Of each
thing, then rip 1t apart and trim all
the rest to Its exact proportions.
Begin sewing on the straight seamA
90 as to accustom yourself to simply
hold your work together-it Is no
trick at all once you catch the hang OF
It. Fold down hens and crease tucka.
keeping them fiat and smooth under
the presser foot as you sew. Gather
on the machine, regulate the fullne0
properly and you can sew the gathers
the same as a plain seam. Even,
sleeves can be held in as they are
sewed, but this is after one is expert
At first 1t is best to haste them. Cuk,
tivate likewise the habit Of running
on one seam onto another. With light.
stuff hold strip Of paper underneath,
while sewing, and tear 1t OF after
wards. Wherever possible use the
English bag seam; 1t is neat and strong
and lends itself beautifully to no
basting. :,

Harmless Bleach for Clothes.

Artificial bleach of any kind should
not be used unless 1t is really required
never merely to save the laundress
a little trouble. Clothes which are
regularly subjected to treatment
which should be reserved for special
occasions soon go into holes and show
signs of tearing on the slightest provo
cation.
If carefully employed, however,
chloride of lime bleach may now and
again be used with satisfactory re-
suits. To bucket Of cold water add
two pounds Of chloride of lime. Dis
solve over night. Carefully pour of
the clear water into large tub. Dis
solve one pound Of washing soda in a
quart Of hot water and add to bleach
water, with enough cold water to COW
er the clothes. Soak over night, rinse
In two clear waters and then blue.
