island, and that slavery still existed.
He urged the committee not to at

from among the Moros, but allow it to
die out as a result Of friendly teach.

Washington, Dec. N.-The Europe

over 1882 500, 600 in decreased exports
up to December i, according to a
statement of the department of COM

eleven months ending with November

Bismarck Looks F0rlUQrd
To q Very Prosperous
And Happy New Year
Past Tweemonh Has Seen Bismarck Move Forward in substan
tal Way; Outlook Couldn't Be Better Officers of CONNER
cial Club Are Optimistic State Should Wax Rich.

That the year 1915 will be one OF
the best ever known in Bismarck was
the opinion expressed by officers OF
the Commercial club yesterday. To
begin with, the state legislature will
meet here this winter, with it's sever.
al hundred members, clerks and 9th
er attendants, here every day. Dur
ing the year there will be several big
conventions held in the city, the most
important being the State Bankers
association and the State Medical as.
sociatiOn, each of them bringing sew
eral hundred delegates. w."
Correspondence is being had with
several parties interested in various
lines of work, mercantile and others,
regarding the locating here of differ
ent industries. Some of these will
surely be brought about.
Advertising Campaign.
The 500 Line is keeping up an
active advertising campaign to bring
in settlers and those in charge OF the
work report that good progress is be.
ing made and that 1915 will show
good results As a matter of fact,

to outsiders the past year than for
several years past, and real estate
men unite in saying that they have
had mere inquiries for 'Burleigh coun-
ty land the last few months than they
have had for several years previous,
and that prospects for sales to actual
settlers were never better.
There is a considerable amount OF
building in sight for the city the com.
ing year and, judging by present pros.
poets, the building of residences and
business blocks will equal, if#not ex-
ceed the year 1918.
Everything is Rented.

any number of empty farm houses III

on it fit to live in within radius of

able renting, states that he could ren'

is or 20 improved places If he had
them. So it is not only the city which
is filling up, but the country is doing
so as we'll. ,. .,
The real estate men of the city were
never SO active as they are now;
there was never so much advertising
matter being sent out as there is
now and never so much going after
settlers as now. This is sure to bring
results. It is in the air that 1915 is
to see the beginning of new era for
Bismarck and Burleigh county.
Cows, Hogs and Corn.
Another good thing for us locally
is the fact that our farmers have not
lost sight of what is best for them.
There is scarcely one of them who is
not going to increase his wheat acre
age, but, at the same time, they have
not forgotten that corn is their hest
paying crop in the long run, and the
corn acreage of the county is going
to show big increase over that Of
1914. This prophecy is made after
conversations with dozens of farmers
throughout the county, who are ia
miliar with conditions in their several
localities. The number of milch
cows will be increased and the num-
ber of hogs in the county will show
big increase.
We cannot get away from the fact
that Bismarck is the center of al ag-
ricultural country and what helps the
country cannot but help Bismarck,
and 1916 will surely be big year for
the farmers: Even with dry year,
the increased corn acreage and the
larger number of cattle, hogs and
milch cows will keep the farmers
prosperous, and that means prosper
ity for Bismarck.
North Dakota Favored. .
"The situation has never looked so
good for North Dakota. The pros.
poets for the year 1915 are brighter
in North Dakota than in any other
section of the western hemisphere y
this is the way Capt. l. P. Baker, man.

Politics Warming Up as
Time for Legislative u.
N Assembly DraUs Near
Candidates for Speaker Of the House Are Getting Busy Here
Now; Inaugural Ball Popular; Inquiries Ginning in From
All Over State; Be Good Attendance

The legislators are a.coming to
town and by tonight it is expected
that the hotel l0bbies will be crowd
ed with law makers. The legislature
will convene on Tuesday, January 8,
at noon, and Governor Hanna will
probably deliver his message on the
following day. The governor has just
written his messange and there is
considerable speculation as to the rec
concentrations he will make in it, es-
pecially with regard to the education
al institutions of the state.
There is also some speculation as
to who will be named chief clerk OF
the house. Albert Wold of the office
of the secretary of state is known to
be a candidate for the Office ald J.
E. Buttree of Valley City is also seek
ing the position. w. J. George of
Morton county, chief clerk Of the
house two years ago and also secre-
tary of the republican state central
committee IN the last campaign, is a
candidate for secretary of the sem
ate.
Speaker. Candidates.
And the fight for speaker of the
house is just about to be staged now.
Three of the candidates who will cut
no small figure in the scrap are al
ready registered at the local hotels
and are warming up for the fray.
A. NJ. Thompson from Minot, Ward
county, is registered at the McKen,
zie. There are two A. M. Thompsons
in the house this session, but the
Thompson from Minot Is the one who
is after the speakership.
Mr.. Thompson's chances of landing
the speakership are said to be good
His supporters argue that the north,
west section of the state has never
been recognized by having one Of its
members elected as speaker and that
right now is a good time to make
amends. They point out that Cass
county during the past Is sessions
has had the speakership six times
and that the entire western section
of the state has had the speakership
but twice-these the times when

OPENING DATE
Has Been Tentatively Fixed at
April IS; Grow Reservation
Plan Used.

Washington, Dec. 31.-With regard
to the opening of the Standing Rock
Indian reservation, it is said that the
department has practically settled up
on the plan of distribution or filing
known as the Crow Reservation plan,
which means that 20 days before the
date for accepting filings eatrymen
are to select, make the regular filing
and advance the money to 60 with
the same. ....
Then upon the date of opening of
applications where there is no conflict
the entries will he allowed and GOV.
ering entries where there are more
tha: one application to the applicants
will draw. Carrying out this plan the
filings will be made just as they are
now made, through the U. s. commits
sioner or clerk of court, or at the To-
cal land office, etc.
The department has not definitely
fixed upon q date for the opening,
nut has tentatively selected April 10
as the time. 1t is thought that under
no circumstances will it be later than
June. In fact, there is no reason
why the opening cannot be arranged
Off and all arrangements be COM
pleted for April Is.
April Date Pretty Early.
It seems to be the opinion here, in
Bismarck, that April Is is not the best
time to select for the opening of the
reservation lands. The uncertain
weather at this time is almost sure
to deter many settlers from making
the trip and it has been suggested
that June / would be a much more
favorable date.
