Six Men From Naval Station

I'VE looked for Santa Clause but we
couldn't find him." said Ensign J. w.
Kendall, naval aviator, of Philadel-
phia-
The reason that Ensign Kendall was
unable to find Santa Claus was a very
good one. He was. in company with
three student officers. G. W. Glenn
daniels, F.. w. John and G. r. Tomfl-
son, and Mechanicians DeLong and
Dean, were spending Christmas Eve
night at longely spot on East Bay.
Just before sundown on the twenty
fourth, Ensign Kendall and his party
climbed in one Of the big sea going
hydroplanes at the Naval Air Station
here, and started for Christmas Eve
"hop"
All went well and the two big mo-
tors were spinning the propellors
and probably it was this reason that
did, forcing them to make a hurried
landing.
After drifting around for a number
Of hours, the party succeeded in
Bleaching the machine at a desolate
point at East Bay. The party then
went ashore and started a big fire. The
cold was intense and they had quite a
time keeping warm. Difficulty was
encountered In securing the machine
in order to protect 1t from the wind.
which had attained a velocity OF about
thirty miles per hour.
The party were forced to stay at
East Bay all Christmas Eve night, as
they were cut off from getting a mes
sage back to the Naval Station and
did not want to leave the machine to
the fury Of the wind.
Early yesterday morning a number
of searching parties were organized
at the station, and sent out to look
for the stranded airmen. Two planes
were ordered out and after covering
quite bit OF territory. the party was
finally located about ten miles flcm
the Naval St-.tion on East Bay, which
opens into the Gulf and which has
been used as a fishing camp.
The party was brought to the Sta
tion and they promptly turned into
bed to get some much needed sleep.
None of them were any worse for
the experience except the loss of
sleep and being able to buy Christmas
but they all said that in the
future they would take to heart the
old slogan, do your Christmas ship
ping early"

Relies on Patriotism.
Z rely upon the patriotism Of our
legislators to come down here and do
what is necessary to be done and then
adjourn, occasioning the people not
one cent more expense than is abso-
lutely required" =.
The Session Of 1892
Governor Andrew Burke issued q
similar appeal when he called a spec
ial session for June /, 1892. when he
convened the Second legislative as
sembly in the only other special ses.
sion in the history of North Daktoa.
The legislators convened at the CAPT.
tol June l and adjourned June 5.
During that short period they passed
acts providing for the election of pres
idential electors and state, county and
district officers; creating state
board of canvassers; governing con-
tests in the election of presidential!
electors, and making appropriations
for North Dakota's exhibit and build
ing at the Columbian exposition TO be
held in Chicago.
The legislators also considered Gov
ernor Burke's veto of the platform ele-
vator bill, old-timers recall, and they
did not like it. AS an odd coincidence
it will be recalled that Governor Fraz-
ier's one veto which attracted wide at
tention and created general comment
in this state following the last regu-
lar session was of a terminal elevator
bill.
In 1892 the Populist party was just
coming into power. In Governor
Burke's legislature were several indie
pendents and Farmers Alliance rep
resentatives The following fall, Gov
ernor Burke was defeated for re-elec-
ton, and Eli C. D. Shortridge was ele-
waited to power by the Populists, al
though elected as Democrat.
One thing which the Fifteenth legis-
lative assembly will probably con-
slider unde the head of war measures
is bill legalizing and creating a
North Dakota state home guard or
state militia. The Minnesota legisla-
ture was in session when war was de-
clared, and it promptly took this step.
The North Dakota legislature had adj
journed, and, altho every city of 500
or more population in North Dakota
has home guard, they are practically
without official sanction or legal rec
ognition. A bin to establish state
guard or militia probably will be one
of the first to go into the hopper.
Another war measure in all prob
ability will be a. bill creating state
safety commission simila rto one
which has operated in Minnesota
since the beginning of the war.
A third measure will be a bill to
provide for the proper financing of the
North Dakota defense council which
to date has had no income except
from joint notes of its directors, who

Call For Extra Session!

IN VIEW OF TIE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS
existing That nation needs all the food products espec
tally grains that possibly be produced; and that owing
the poor crops of the past two years assistance is
sary in about half of the counties of state to supply
seed grains and feed and that all thus far devised
to make provision for sufficient seed and feed have

adequate to the suaton it is deemed necessary that

County Seed Bonding law in order that the necessary seed
and feed be supplied good crop acreage be-
ing palted spring and to provide for any other
measures that may de deemed advisable
THEREFORE,, |, LYNN j. FRAZIER Governor Of
North Dakota, do hereby call the Fifteenth Legislative As
semby in special session at the Capitol Bismarck
Wednesday, January 23rd, 1913, at 9 clock a.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State of
North Dakota Bismarck this S day of January 1918.

have been guaranteed the return Of
their money by the governor.
Rrohihifian Amendment

have been guaranteed the return Of
their money by the governor.
Prohibition Amendment.
It is quite likely that the special
session will take up the national con-
stituticnal amendment and dispose of
it in short order. 1t has been freely
forecast that so per cent Of the legis-
lators will favor national prohibition.
Should congress adopt the suffrage
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton without much delay, it is prob
able that this might come up for
some attention at the special session,
and that would be a matter to con-
sumo more time than the dry amend
ment.
Knives Being Whetted.
Then there are the pet diversions to
be considered. Even within the lea
que, some members Of the present ad-
minis.ration have made enemies.
There are hints and threats of investi-
cations involving every department at
aired through the press in recent
squabbles.
All of this might not be patriotic,
but il would be dern human as Sen
ator Bill Martin of Huff might say.
VIII Be Busy.
In any event busy session may be
anticipated. There is immediate need
for bolstering up North Dakota's grain
grading act, if it is 10 be made work
able. Incensed farmers probably will
demand legislative action to prevent
a repetation Of last years drouth in
Surance scandals. Terminal elevators
are ghosts which will not rest content
in their graves. The rate problem is
pressing, and then, above everything
else, there looms up the maltreaded
"ghost of House Bill Az
How They Will Line Up.
1t will be interesting to note the d.
vision of the two houses, should any
clear-cut issue arise as between the
independents and the leaguers during
the special session. With the vote on
House Bill "A as safe criterion, it
may be said that the senate stood Is
independents to 81 Nonpartisans at
the close of the last regular session,
while the house stood 81 Nonpartisans
to % Independents, with four doubt
full members. .......
The death of Senator Martin Thore-
son of Barnes county has lost the
league one member in the upper
house Senator Thoreson did not al
ways support league measures, but in
matters of league policy he was U.S.
ually regular, and he voted with the
league minority on House Bill Al in
the senate.
John Rott, jr., of Hellwfg, will be
missing from his place in the seth dis
trict delegation in the house, Rep.
Ropp having left the state Of North
Dakota and pledged allegiance to
South Dakota.
