Hefo re Blgning these petitions vot erg should consider what such an ad means. It means that they ask coi tal n public olllcorfl to do the verj opposite of what they solemnly prom Ised to do; It means that they au) theso men to forswear themselves, t betray tho people who on their prom Ise elected them. VoterB should remember befon signing this petition that they ar asking these men to do a dishonor ablo thing, one that would stonr them with lifelong shnine and dh graco. Think of it, you voters; at th behest of a few disgruntled nnd ell? credited politicians are you willing t. nsk so far honorable men, you friends and neighbors, to do this. t make thiB horrible sacrlflco for tin sako of a party or a few politicians' To ask a Statement No. 1 membt" of the legislature thus to diHhono and disgrace himself is an Insult And to ask nny decent, honet vote to sign such a petition Is no less ai insult, and ought to be resented n such. It Is sought to bring dlshono and dlsgraco upon these men, and a: an Ptciiso for them It Is sought tc Involve a largo number of voters li a share of that dishonor, to stall them with a portion or that dip graco, to make them pnrtlceps crini Inls In tho propopsed treason to tlx people nnd barter of men's sacred word of honor. Voters, think this over before sign Ing one of theso dishonorable, din gracoful petitions, and then don'1 stgn. Who Is elected senator Is not of Itself of much Importance, as com' pared with the crime against the peo pie of Oregon which It 1b proposed U commit through the aid of yum names. To solicit a signature to thlr petition Is to offer an Insult to au honest, conscientious voter. I T Hid MKIX. Northern Pacific Stockholders He cclvc 17,HW,OO0. NKW YOltK, Nov. 19. Northern Puolfio stock ho I dors of record at th cIobo of business today will share lit one of tho juclest melons ever ou: by an Amet lean railroad companv This Is a dividend of $11.26 a share to bo paid to them by the Northwest ern Improvement Company, a sulmt diary concern through which the 11111 roads carries on operations In conl mines, Irrigation works and invest merits In bonds. The aggregate amount of the distribution will In $17.4f3.00. The Northwestern Im provement Companv's capital stock It only $;i,77f.,000. m that the dividend Is equivalent to (129 per cent on tin capital of the corporation. It Is stated that this dividend is paid from a surplus acquired through a series of yeurs, and that uone of it was derived from tho transportation business. In explanation of the accumulation of thin largo surplus by a company which la a creature of the Northern Pacific Hallway, though legally a sep arate corporation, It was said hy n director of the Northern Pacific that the Improvement company, which wr Incorporated In t S! 7 soon after the re-organisation of the Northern Pa rifle, has carried on land and othet operations on a large scale, and hat) profited by the enormous increase in values In the Northwest in (he las! ten years. The company owns largn coal mines In Montana and Washing ton, operated along the line of the Northern Pacific. It Is also Interest ed In Irrigation and other land Invest ments. A number of years ago it took over the Innds of the St. Paul and Iuluth Hailroad. nnd It bus nt intervals purchased from the North em Pacific Itself largo traits of the road's land grant lands. The Northwestern Improvement Company Is officered by official the Northern Pacific Hallway, but the hoards of the two companies are not Identical, not all of the railway di rectors being members of the Im provement comjiany board. Howard Klliott and James J. Hill, respectively Northern Pacific Hallway, hold sim ilar positions lu the improvement company. HKK THK WATCH FHOZKX IX THE ICK Many View Strange Test of Timekeep ing Tills Week.. Frozen Solid Itut Still Keeps Per fect Time, What Is probably the most untrue and altogether remarkable exhibition of timekeeping quality In a watch, is taking place this week at the store of A. 8. Huey, jeweler and waicnmaK or. This 1b nothing more nor less than a stundard South fiend Watch taken out of stock and frozen in a solid cake of Ice. As though It were an animate thing, It seems almost a cruelty to subject so delicate a pleco of mechan ism as a modern watch to this se vere tost, but the watch does not seem to mind It as much as the sym pathetic lookers'on. This test Is simply a forcible and convincing dem onstration or the fact that the move mentB of the South Pend Watch are adjusted to heat and cold In the most perfect manner ever achieved In the science of watchmaking. While the tost Is not entirely new, having pre viously been made at South Hond nnd other places, we believe. It is seen for the first time In iloseDurg. This test Is stated to be the most severe that a delicate timepiece can be subjected to nnd It speaks volumes for American enterprise and the skill of American watch makers that it has been posslblo to produce a watch so perfect In construction and adjust ment that not even freezing It up can affect its timekeeping. Indeed, bo remarknblo Is tho test that foreign watch makers who have so long boasted of their supremacy cannot oven now realize that It can bo done. Tho fame of "tho watch In the Ice" has spread nil over the world and It can be seen Thursday nnd Friday al tho establishment of Huey's. The superior timekeeping quarlties of the South Bond Watch He In its wonder ful balance wheel which automatical ly adjusts It to heat and cold, nnd Its perfect adjustment nnd construction. The "watch in Ice" will be on ex hlbltlon Thursday and Friday. Seven Years of Proof.

Today !s the lf.fith anniversary of the birth Tf ono of America's most heroic men, Cieneral (leorge Rogers (Murk, who unfurled tho first American ling in Illinois and was largely respouslbh for making the great Northwest un merlcan territory. Dying In poverty .ml want, tho great Boldler was for (otten for nearly a century. A few vears ago a movement was Inaugurnt ?d to rescue from obscurity the name and famo of the almost forgotten hero, and this patriotic project had its culmination this month in the ded ication of a handsome monument at Fort Massac, near Metropolis, 111. All of tho fertllo region northwest of the Ohio river was wrested from 'he British by the valor of this sold ier, yet he died In poverty. The State f Virginia sent him a sword nTter he became old and poor, which ho broke to pieces, exclaiming: "When Virginia needed a sword I gavo her one. She sends mo now a toy. I want bread."

How It Was Worked. Tho method used was shrewd. Ma jor Ferris, J. M. and George Lamb and O. H. Sheldon secured letters of credit from Idaho bankers. Furnish ing W. R. Clemens with a supply of notes signed by them in blank, they sent him as agent to buy stock. In each case he arranged with the stock men to pay them more than the standnrd price of the animal, In re turn for which the agent was to re ceive a commission to the amount of the excess in cash. The transfer was made, the notes were accepted with out question In every instance, and the agent paid the commission, amounting In all to (20.000. LAND OPENING AT KOSICIH HO.
