Hon. ]. M. Cariignan
Back From Legislature
Sioux County's Representative Returned
Home from Bismarck on Tuesday.
Pleased With Results

Hon. j. NJ. Carignan returned
Tuesday from Bismarck, where he
has spent the winter as representa-.
tivexrom Sioux county to the Fif.
teenth Legislative Assembly which
ended Friday.
Speaking about the achievements
of the Legislature, MIR. Carignan
stated that personally he was we'll
pleased with the general result.
Many good laws were enacted, and
some Objectionable features of old
existing laws repealed.
The 1917 session, however, will
be remembered more for what was
not accomplished, and compared
with former sessions fewer new
measures were enacted into law.
The crowning act Of the session was
the defeat Of House Bill No. "a,
the proposed constitutional revision
act. MIR. Carignan voted against
convening the legislature as a con-
stitutional convention, and says he
believes the proposed new constitu-
ton would have been IL menace to
the best interests of the state.
OF the most important new laws
enacted are the following:
Womans suffrage.
Bank deposit guarantee act.
State hail insurance to be effec-
tive with the approval of the voters
at next general election.
Lega]izing Sunday base ball and
more liberal Sunday laws in gem
cral. ......
A bill providing for state owned
terminal elevators within or with
out the state, and 100000 ap-
preparation therefor.
Biennial budget bill carrying q
total appropriation of $3.50, ,944.-
13 for state departments and edu-
cational institutions.

Joe Menden Married

The St. Paul daily papers of
Monday carried the news of the
marriage Of Miss Gertrude Deerning
Bibber to j. H. Menden of St. Paul
Saturday. Mr.. Menden is we'll
known through this section, which
he has covered for years as salesman
for the Gotzian Shoe Company, and
he was also interested in the general
mercantile business at Mobridge and
Raleigh several years ago. The
bride is a well-known beauty,
actress and singer, and the wedding
came as a surprise in view of the
fact that Mr.. AIenden did not meet
her until about 30 days ago. But
then Joe is some go-get- 'er, in love
as we'll as business, and his many
friends will congratulate him upon
his good fortune.

May Trap Beaver and Otter

The bill permitting the trapping
Of beaver and otter during one
month of the year, has been signed
by the governor and is now law.
This bill is Of particular interest in
this section as it is reported that
beaver do much damage to growing
timber along streams where they
build their dams. So far as can be
learned North Dakota is now the
only state in the west where beaver
and otter can be killed legally.

John Kopet at Wakpala, was de.
stroyed by fire Monday evening,

supposed that an explosion occurred
while Mrs. Kopet went into the
store part after some articles for
supper.
The fire spread SO rapidly that
nothing was saved. The cash re.
ceipts and sales slips for the day,
as we'll as the books were destroyed,
and Mr. Kopet was badly burned
about the face while attempting to
save some Of the family wardrobe.
The through Milwaukee passen.
ger train which passes through
Wakpala about 8 O'Clock stopped
and took Mr.Kopet, wife and two
children to Mobridge, following the
fire and Mr.. Kopet had his burns
attended to by a physician.

construction 5OxSO feet, and one Of
the largest business buildings on the
reservation It was occupied by the
late Harry Mclaughlin for many
years, and cold about year ago to
Mr.. Kopet by Mrs. Mclaughlin.

history of any civilized nation, defied

in congress up to the last minute and
denied to the president law authoriz.

ships to meet the German submarine

Unyielding through twenty.six hours
Of continuous session to appeals that
their defiance of the president would

them as the most serious to the ma.
tion since the Civil war, La Toilette

siAty-fourth congress.
To fix responsibility before the
country seventy-six senators-thirty
Republicans and forty.six Democracy

Rules Prevent Taking Vote.
This declaration, embodied in the
record of the senate, referred to the
fact that the house Thursday night
had passed a similar bill by vote Of
403 to 13 and also recited that the
senate rule permitting unlimited de

Flour For Distribution
Among Indians Arrives
Flour For Issue Among Standing Rock
Indians Delayed in Transit Arrives.
Now Being Distributed

Two carloads of -four for issue to
the Indians of the Agency district
arrived last week at Cannonball,
and was hauled to Fort Yates the
first Of the week. The flour will be
distributed in 100 pound lots. 1t
is understood that the flour for the
other districts, which was delayed
in shipping, has also been received
and is being issued.
The Standing Rock Indians now
have ample provisions to carry them
through the rest Of the winter and
spring, and any suffering that might
have been caused OIL account of the
short crop last year and the hard
winter, has been forestalled by the
timely action taken at the council
in December, when the Indians
through their delegates decided to
purchase from the tribal funds for
equal distribution provisions to car
ry them through until next season.
Each individual member of the
tribe whose name appeared on the
tribal roll June 30, 1916, receives
the following supplies: 100 pounds
flour; rs pounds sugar; 25 punds
bacon; 5 pounds coffee; 2 pounds
baking powder. These provisions
except some Of the -four, was re.
ceived and distributed several weeks
ago.
Many Of the large families will
receive enough -four to last them
for a year or more as the amounts
above are issued to adults and
children alike.
