To the Record: 8enator» and members from those parts of the state which have been cut off from the outside world by snow blockades have been making the lives of the usually deliberate and easy-go ing state railway commission abnor mally strenuous of late. The railways of the state—like all others through out the nation—now recogniie the fact that when a state or federal govern ment gives the right of eminent do main to a railway or kindred trans liortation company, it has a right to exact certain things in the way of re turn, one of these things being the power to regulate to a certain extent the business of such company, to the end that the power granted by the public may not be used for the pub lic's injury. Therefore, during the snow blockade of the present winter, the commissioners, through Chairman Diesem and Secretary Hammond, have been able to secure from railway offi cers daily reports of the work that has been done during the previous twenty-four hours in opening the lines of North Dakota- At the suggestion of senators, members and other citi zens here from other pans of the state, the officers above named have promptly used ail their influence for the hurrying of the work. Every let ter or telegram received by members here from their home districts, calling for fuel and the prompt opening of the branch lines has been "phoned at once to Division Suierintendent Hurt of the N". P., at Jamestown, and, when necessary, to the chief officers at the company's headquarters. The Linton-McKenzie line is one of those longest blocked, its closed con dition having covered a period of near ly a month. Within the past two weeks the writer has received several telegrams and many letters regarding the serious shortage of fuel in many parts of Emmons county, a shortage which is in some parts rapidly ap proaching a dangerous condition. All these messages and letters were at once turned over to the railway com missioners and their contents 'phoned to the various companies that run through the county. letters were received from Brad dock showing that the condition was a had one. The writer saw Superintend ent. Derrick almost every evening and heard his statements as to what the work of the day had been In the way of opening the Soo's Diamarck-Hank- Inson line. This gentleman did his utmost to o|ten the branch, and every means at his disposal was used to ac complish the purpose. In one of the letters received by me a statement was given or the fact that a train of six coal cars going west had passed through Rraddock on the run, and, in the absence of knowledge as to the why and wherefore of the "carrying of coals to Newcastle"—cars of fuel into a country near the lignite mines—much indignation was felt in the country tributary to Hraddock. The fact Is that the Soo line into the McLean and northern nurleigh coal country—to Wilton and Washburn—was badly snowed under. A large number of cars stood at Wilton, loaded with lig nite. Not a pound of coal could leave until the road was opened. The com pany could not open the road without fuel for its engines, and the cars that went through Draddock on the fly en abled the company to at once tackle the line to Wilton, which was Boon o|ened and cars of coal came out by the score. The rushing of the coal to Bismarck—where there was almost a fuel famine—without stopping the train at stations, where It surely would have been confiscated, was an absolute necessity, if the line to the mines was to be opened the six cars of coal all being used for that purpose. And the writer will say here that no man could have done more to relieve the unfortunate situation than was done by Mr. Derrick, of the Soo. On receipt of one of the telegrams that came from Linton the writer saw the railroad commissioners and asked them to try the Milwaukee division superintendent at Aberdeen that road then being closed. A telegram sent by Secretary Hammond in the morn ing of February r.th brought the fol lowing reply from Superintendent Mason: "Extra that will get through to Linton tonight has two cars for Hague and two cars of soft coal for Union—all we have on this division. If this is insufficient, will send com pany coal." As the telephone line be tween Linton and Bismarck has been out of whack for a couple of weeks, it is impossible to get quick com munication, and I do not know wheth i- the coal reached Linton, as Mr. Mason said it would. From day to day, in answer to my inquiries. It has been Btated by the x- l»eople here that, judging by the last daily re|iorts, the work of opening the Linton branch would begin Mon day, February 4 but they have been putting it off from day to day. The N. 1*. company has met with frightful luck during the past fortnight. Had It not been for such luck the Linton line would undoubtedly have been opened Itefore now. At Cashel, not far from Grand Forks. Wednesday of last, week, a big Russell snow-plow and two engines were ao badly wrecked an to be put out of commission for ihe winter. A fireman was killed. few days later another N. P. plow and two engines were mashed up near Edgeley, one man being killed. The plow demolished ai Edgeley was the one that would have soon been used on the Linton-McKenzie branch. Add ed to this is the fact that, about the time the company had its branches in the eastern part of the state opened, another general windstorm farther east again blocked the main line and the branches already opened, making ii necessary to do all the work again. It will thus be seen that an unfortu nate combination of unavoidable cir cumstances had a great deal to do wiih the failure to do the work. Now, however, that ihe thawing weather has come, it will require an additonal snow-fall to make another blockade j»ossible. Therefore, as is likely that the lines that are now open will stay open awhile, it is prob able thai Lrinton folks will see a N*. P. snow-plow some time this week. THE LEGISLATURE. Kismarrk. Jan. 12. 1&0T. To the Record: The session of the legislature is Just entering its third stage. Only nine teen working days remain. So large a volume of bills has been introduced in either house that it is a sure thing a lareer number than usual will be left over without consideration, even in committee. Within about ten days of the close of the session a steering committee will be appointed, to which all bills will be referred. The mem bers of this committee will come from the dominant faction of the body, and they will have the practical say-so as to the legislation of the closing period. Among the peculiar bills of the present session is one by young Mr. Anderson, of rGand Forks, a democrat. We print this remarkable bill in full, as follows: "A Bill for an Act to Prohibit Corrupt Practices and to Provide for the Publication of the Names of All Per sons Contributing Articles for Pub lication. "He it Enacted ly the Legislative Assembly of the State of North Da kota: "Section 1. Anything published in a newspaper, pamphlet or public journal in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for any public office, or In favor of or in opposition to the suc cess or defeat of any political party, or any proposition submitted to a vote of the people, when the same is pub lished in consideration of the receipt or promise of money or thing of value, shall be known as "Political Advertis ing and any editor, publisher, man ager or agent of any newspaper, pamphlet or printed journal, who shall publish political advertising other than as advertising matter, shall be labeled at the beginning or end thereof with the word 'Advertise men).' or who shall knowingly or will ingl.v demand or receive for such pol itical advertising money or thing of value in excess of the sum or sums due for such service at the regular ad vertising rates of such newspaper, pamphlet or printed journal or any person who shall pay or offer to pay the editor, publisher, manager gr any agent of any newspaper, pamphlet or printed journal for such service any money or thing of value in excess of the sum or sums due, at regular ad vertising rates or any person who shall pay or offer to pay any editor, publisher, manger or agent of a news paper, pamphlet or printed Journal any money or thing of value for the publication of political advertising, ex cept as advertising matter, shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty dollars or more than three hun dred dollars. Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be con strued as applying to announcements of candidates for office. "Sec. 2. Anything published in a newspaper, pamphlet or printed journal in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for any public office, or in favor of or in opiiosition to the success or defeat, of any political party, or any proposition submitted to a vote of the people, or any public policy, or con cerning any public servant or any In dividual, shall have subscribed there to the name of the person or persons contributing or writing the same. Pro vided, that this shall not apply to any thing published as editorial matter. 'Sec. Any person or persons vio lating any of the provisions of this act shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a line of not less than fifty dollars or more than three hundred dollars." Should the bill not be reported for indefinite postponement, and thus go to general orders for debate and amendment, the following additional sections will be proposed in commit tee of the whole: 1 hat any country publisher who prints a marriage notice In which he as usual refers to the bride as hand some, shall be compelled to prove it, and in default thereof shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. And any publisher printing a death notice of a member or ex-member of the legislature, or any other statesman or politician, as may be considered from a general point of view, and who shall, in said notice, express the belief that said member or ox-mcmlior. statesman or pol tlcian has ascended the golden sta r, shall in said notice give satis factory reasons, for such belief or prophecy. Any publisher failing to comply with tlie provisions or this sec tion shall, upon conviction be sen tenced to read twenty-three Qrand Forks Herald primary law editorials twenty-three times without pausing to partake of meat or drink. Whereas. There Is at the present »«a»ute for* the adcqnato pun. Ubmtnt of country editors who depart from the truth in describing the beauty of brides, or in exploiting the virtues of departed statesmen and in denoting the place of their present abode. Therefore, this act shall be in torce from and after its passage and approval." In my last letter I said ihat the op position of the Grand Forks Herald to the White primary election bill was having a strong influence against it. So much has this been the case that an almost unanimous indorsement of the bill by the committee on privileges and elections has been changed to a condition of twelve to three against it That committee, which is in session twice a day, is now considering the Sorlev primary bill. This bill is simi lar to the Sharpe bill in the senate. It seems almost certain now that the lat ter bill will pass the senate and the Sorlev bill the house. If this should happen, conference committees would then be appointed in the two houses. These would meet and try to get to gether on a bill that would be satis ractory to a majority or the members or both houses. The bills not being tar apart in their provisions, it is be lieved that no great effort will be re quired to harmonize the senate and house on the two bills. It now looks as though the two-cent rate bill that passed the house will be amended to two and a half cents in the senate or knocked entirely into smithereens. It is claimed by a good many members of that body that in a sparsely settled state like this the low ering of passenger rates means a cut ting down or the standard or service, poorer cars and inrrequent trains. It will take some steady work rrom now to the close or the session to con sider and pass even the leading bills —bills that the Jamestown convention platrorm pledged. It Is likely that two sessions a day will be the program during the last ten days of the session. D. R. S. NOTES. Former State Senator Wesley Baker spent a day or so with friends in Bis marck last week. Uncle Ren Corbin, who had been in Bismarck several weeks, went home last week. Comrade Corbin is in very poor health, symptoms of partial par alysis having appeared. J. I. Roop of Hazelton, employed as a clerk in the house, received a tele gram Thursday of last week from his daughter Mabel, asking him to come home, as his wife was very sick. He secured a rig" and started for home at once. Senator McCumber's service-pension bill, which passed the senate and house and was signed by President Roose velt, and is therefore a law, provides as follows: Soldiers of the civil war who have reached the age or 62 years shall receive $12 per month 70 years, $15 75 years, $20 the pension to commence rrom the date or filing ap plication. Tom Kelly arrived from Linton Sun day, driving here. Tom is not in very good health and will stay here awhile for treatment. The Bismarck that Mr. Kelly is visiting this week is quite a different place rrom the Bismarck that was the starting point tor him self and other Black Hills freighters about a third of a century in the dim and distant part. Recently the writer wrote to Attor ney Williamson, of Aberdeen, asking him to visit the office of the collector of internal revenue for the district embracing North and South Dakota, and procure for said writer the figures showing number of retail liquor deal ers' licenses issued in the two states during the year ending June 30, 190C. He did so. Following are the figures: In license South Dakota, 1,405 in pro. hibitlon North Dakota, 1,703. Mr. Will* iamson says In his letter: "These to tals are accurate, as shown by the records of the collector's office. But in North Dakota there are, according to the estimate of the field deputies, probably at least. 100 more that have not been located. In South Dakota, under our license law, practically ev ery one is located. What is meant b those not located is persons who have engaged In the business and who have not yet paid the internal revenue fee.'* Public Lnd Sato—(Isolated Tract.) Land Office, Bismarck, N.
