At the conclusion of Miller's ad-
dress Miss Sarah Grant of the We
mans party was accorded the priv
ilege of few moments on the plat
form. Miss Grant made an appeal
for national woman suffrage, but
first called attention to the fact that
in the campaign of 1914, when the
right Of suffrage was granted to Ne
vada women, both the Democratic
and Republican parties refused to
recommend it in their platforms
while Mr.. Miller was its ardent
champion at that and all other times
Miss Grant said that she considered
ii a great privilege to stand on the
same platform and to publicly thank
him for his efforts in behalf of justice
to the women.

NEVADA CAMPAIGNING
STRENUOUS WORK

II is possible that Charles Evans
Hughes thinks he has strenuous
timecampaigning in Pullman car,
but if he would encounter the real |
thing in strenuosity he should ac-
company Grant Miller on campaign |
by automobile throughout the state |
of Nevada.
Miller left Reno Sunday morning |
October 18th, and travels from l 0 !
to 160 miles every day, even though !
the roads have been very rough in |
many places, He has not fully re
covered from the accident he met
with in California some weeks ago,
and the jolting over the rough roads
has not helped the back which was
injured when the Ford flew off the
road and hit him,
The climax was reached last Sun
day night and for time 1t looked as

hills fifty miles from Phoebe. When
Ely was left early in the morning
there was no doubt but Phoebe
would be reached by six o'clock, but
within few miles of Bristol Springs

hafn
porary repairs we're completed.
The roads fork at Bristol Springs
and in the darkness Mr.. Miller failed
to note thy road that turns off to
Phoebe. Ne took the wrong road
and before he realized his mistake
he had gone many miles in an al
most opposite direction from the
camp he wished to reach. After
vainly trying to locate the right road
until 1870 O'Clock in the morning 1t
was decided by Mr. Miller and the
chauffeur and reporter who accom-
pany him to camp in the car and
wait for daylight before resuming
the search
The weather is cold at this time
of year in the higher attitudes OF
Nevada and in addition a brisk wind
that searched the marrow of ones
homes was blowing all night. Then
too, the party had had no dinner
that evening and the pangs of hun
ger added to the lack of gayety OF

weary pilgrims shivered until the

Phoebe was reached Monday nooI
and Miller, who was thoroughly eX
hausted and apparently on the verg
of pneumonia, was put to bed and
physician summoned, His skill, to
cether with the care and atter
tion of Mrs Cook, of the Noun

restoring Miller and he was enable
to resume his campaign trip.
Outside of the discomfort an

Bonding Concerns
Fight State Law

Bismarck, Dec. 30.-Whether North
Dakota goes into the bonding business
will depend upon the supreme court
decision in the injunctional proceed.
ings brought against the measure by
representatives of Fargo bonding con.
Germs. The arguments were made Dec.
6 and an early decision is expected. It
will be impossible to start the business
on Jan. !, 1916, as contemplated under
the act of the last legislative session.
Considerable difficulty has been en-.
countered by the advocates Of the
measure. The thirteenth legislative
session put over a bill for a state
bonding department but the constitu.
tionality of the measure was attacked
and the supreme court by vote of
four to one held it invalid. 1t has al.
ways been claimed the prominence
taken by Chief Justice Spalding in de.
claring the act unconstitutional was
one of the main causes for his defeat
for reelection.
The last legislature re-enacted tho
law with some notifications in which
they thought the defects of the former
measure had been cured, but it is
claimed that one of the great weak
nesses of the present measure is that
1t makes it compulsory for elective of.
ficers to take out bonds with the state
department instead of with indepen.
dent concerns. II is contended tina.
if the law left it optional there would
be no question as to the validity of the
measure, but the compulsory features
to creating a monopoly, are authoriz-
ing the state to enter into an exclusive
business against established firms, and
that it is in violation of both the state
and the federal constitutions.
The law provides that the bonding
department be conducted under the
direction of the insurance commits.

blanks and was getting things in redl.

Even if the law is sustained by the
court it will be some time after the
decision before it can become opera

Farmers Of State
Buy ll6 Elevators;
Cooperation Gains

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. mo better
evidence of the growth of the spirit of
cooperation in North Dakota this year
can be shown than by the fact that 116
more cooperative grain elevators were
added during the season. A few of
these are new houses, but the ma.
jority were obtained by absorption and
purchases by organized farmers Of in
dependent and old.line elevators.
This is regarded as indicative of the
temper of the farmers toward the
problems of marketing their own
crops themselves. They may differ as
to the relative merits of the terminal
commission houses, agencies and even
as to the location of the terminal mar
kets, but there is striking unanimity
as to the method of handling and ship
ping grain.
The great increase in the number of
these cooperative elevators Is due to
several agencies. The Equity Cooper
alive exchange is responsible for some,
the Farmers union for others, but in
many sections the farmers got togeth-
er themselves and effected local or
CARNATIONS without the incentive or
the assistance of any statewide as.
sociations.
Those who have for years advo-
Gated this system now believe the
situation is ripe for more aggres-
sive and far-reaching campaign along
terminal marketing lines and further
efforts are being planned for the first
of the year. =
It is predicted there will be more
old.line and independent elevators con-
verified into co.operatives the coming
year than this.

North Dakota Land
Prices Are Going Up

Grand Forks, Dec. 30.-Unless we
keep closely in touch with the situ-
alton it is likely that even residents
of the state will not realize how land
values in North Dakota are advancing.
Gradually the last of the big "bonan-
"a" farms are being broken up and
diversified farming is coming into it's
own. AS this process goes on lands
must necessarily increase in value.
One of the latest instances of this
fact is reported from Portland. A
portion of the big Grandin farm has
lately sold at SIS an acre and it will
be devoted in the future to develop
ment along diversified farming lines.
Co-incident with the announcement Of
this sale the Portland Republican tells
of the prosperity of its creamery,
which has just closed a successful
year with over three hundred farmers
furnishing cream for it's operation.
The Republican further remarks:
"Dairying has been taken up on a
larger basis at more progressive farms
in this vicinity the past year. Blooded
stock is being shipped in at all times
from large eastern stock farms and
consigned to many of our most promi-
nent farmers. Silos have popped up
like mushrooms here and there evinc-
ing proof of the prosperity and tend
ency toward diversified farming in the
community around Portland.

Miss W|insted Hostess at
Dinner Party Thursday

Miss Hilda Winsted was hostess on
Thursday afternoon at one of the most
enjoyable parties of the season at the
dormitory. About IS ladies responded
to her invitation. The west dining
room was beautifully decorated with
red and green, while splendid Christ
mas tree, lighted with numberless can
dies, added beauty and Yuletide spirit
to the occasion. The game of GRIPPE"
so appropriate at the present time,
was played, Mrs. McMullen playing the
role of doctor, assisted by corps OF
efficient Red Cross nurses. The pa
tients were brought into the wards and
their cases diagnosed, treatment given
and they were promoted to the var
ious wards, until they were finally pro-
nounced cured, which fact was later
proven in the dining room. The rugs
were pushed aside, the Victrola was
brought forward and dancing was en-
joyed for while. The guests were
then asked to form in line, four
abreast, and pass around the room and
into the east dining room, where .
sumptuous dinner was served. The
tables were arranged around three
sides Of the room and were beautiful
to behold with the trailing smilax.
poinsettias and little Christmas trees.
Here the lights were all shaded with
beautiful crimson shades which cast
a warm glow over the pleasant scene.
After most delicious dinner the
guests departed for their homes, hav-
