This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for in forming people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.

THE CENSUS, 1910.
The Constitution requires that a census of the United States shall
be taken decennially. The first census was taken in 1790 under the
supervision of the president; subsequent censuses, to and including
that of 1840, were taken under the supervision of the secretary of
state. In 1849 the supervision of the census was transferred to the
newly organized department of the interior, and continued under the
control ^f that department until the passage of the act of 1903
creating the Department of Commerce and Labor; by this act the
census office Was transferred to the supervision of the new depart-
ment. Congress, by act a'^'^roved March 6, 1902, made the census
office a permanent bureau of the government.

The state of North Dakota is divided into two census districts. The
first district comprises the counties of Barnes, Cass, Cavalier, Dickey,
Eddy, Foster, Grand rorks. Griggs, LaMoure, Nelson, Pembina,

and a successor had not been appointed at the time the Blue Book
went to press.
MAGNA CHARTA
THE GREAT CHARTER OF LIBERTIES OF
KINO JOHN.
Granted at Runnymede, June 15, A. D. 1215, in the Sev-
enteenth Year of His Reign.
John, by grace of God King of England. Lord of Ire-
land, Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou,
to his Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Earls, Baroijs, Justi-
ciaries, Foresters, Sheriffs, Governors, Officers and to all
Bailiffs, and his lieg«s, greeting. Know ye, that we, in the
presence of God, and for the salvation of our soul, and the
souls of all our ancestors and heirs, and unto the honour of
God and the advancement of Holy Church, and amendment
of our Realm, by advice of our venerable Fathers, Stephen,
Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England, and Car-
dinal of the Holy Roman Church, Henry, Archbishop of
Dublin, William of London, Peter of Winchester, Jocelin
of Bath and Gladstonbury, Hugh of Lincoln, Walter of
Worcester, William of Coventry, Benedict of Rochester,
Bishops; of Master Pandulph, Sub-Deacon and Familiar of
our Lord the Pope, Brother Aymeric, Master of the Knights
Templars in England; and of the Noble Persons, William
Marescall, Earl of Pembroke, William, Earl of Salisbury,
William, Earl of Warren, William, Earl of Arundel, Alan
de Galloway, Constable of Scotland, Warin Fitz Gerald,
Peter Fitz Herbert, and Hubert De Burgh, Seneschal of
Poitou, Hugh de Neville, Matthew Fitz Herbert, Thomas
Basset, Allan Basset, Philip of Albiney, Robert de Roppell,
John Mareschal, John Fitz Hugh, and others our liegemen
have, in the first place, granted to God, and by this our
present Charter confirmed, for us and our heir forever:
1. That the Church of England shall be free, and have
her whole rights, and her liberties inviolable; and we will
have them so observed, that it may appear thence, that the
freedom of elections which is reckoned chief and indispensa-
ble to the English Church, and which we granted and con-
firmed by our Charter, and obtained the confirmation of the
same from our Lord the Pope Innocent III., before the dis-
cord between us and our barons, was granted of mere free
will; which charter we shall observe, and we will do it to
be faithfully observed by our heirs forever.
LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
2. We also have granted to all the freemen of our king-
dom, for us and for our heirs forever, all the underwritten
liberties, to be had and holden by them and their heirs, of
us and our heirs forever; if any of our earls, or barons or
others, who hold of us in chief by military service, shall die,
and at the time of his death his heir shall be of full age, and
owes a relief, he shall have his inheritance by the ancient
relief; that is to say the heir or heirs of an earl, for a whole
earldom, by a hundred pounds ; the heir or heirs of a baron,
for a whole barony, by a hundred pounds; the heir or heirs
of a knight, for a whole knights fee, by a hundred shillings
at most; and whoever oweth less shall give less according
to the ancient custom of fees.
3. But if the heir of any such shall be under age, and
shall be in ward when he comes of age, he shall have his
inheritance without relief and without fine.
4. The keeper of the land of such an heir being under age,
shall take of the land of the heir none but reasonable issue,
reasonable customs and reasonable services, and that with-
out destruction and waste of his men and his goods; and if
we commit the custody of any such lands to ■'he sheriff, or
any other who is answerable to us for the issues of the land,
and he shall make destruction and waste of the lands which
he hath in custody, we will take of him amends, and the
lands shall be committed to two lawful and discreet men of
that fee, who shall answer for the issues to us, or to him
to whom we shall assign them; and if we sell or give to any-
one the custody of such lands, and he therein make de-
struction or waste, he shall lose the same custody which
shall be committed to the lawful and discreet men of that
fee, who shall in like manner answer to us as aforesaid.
5. But the keeper, so long as he shall have custody of
the land, shall keep up the houses, parts, warrens, ponds,
mills, and other things pertaining to the land, out of the
issues of the same land; and shall deliver to the heir when
he comes of full age, his whole land, stock with plows and
carriages, according as the time of wainage shall require,
and the issues of the land can reasonably bear.
6. Heirs shall be married without disparagement, and so
that before matrimony shall be contracted those who are near
in blood to the heir shall have notice.
7. A widow, after the death of her husband, shall forth-
with and without difficulty have her marriage and inherit-
ance; nor shall she give anything for her dower, or her
marriage, or her inheritance, which her husband and she
held at the day of his death; and she may remain in a man-
sion house of her husband forty days after his death, within
which term her dower shall be assigned.

8. No widow shall be distrained to marry herself so long
as sne has a mind to live without a husband ; but yet she snail
give security that she will not marry without our assent, if
she holds of us; or without the consent of the lord of whom
sne holds, if she holds of another.
9. Neither we nor our bailiffs shall seize any land or rent
for any debt, so lonjar as the chattels of the debtor are suffi-
cient to pay the debt; nor shall the securities of the debtor
be distramed so long as the principal debtor is sufficient for
the payment of the debt ; and if the principal debtor shall fail
in the pa3rment of the debt, not having wherewithal! to pay
it, then the sureties shall answer the debt; and if they will
they shall have the lands and rents of the debtor until they
shall be satisfied for the debt which they paid for him, un-
less the principal debtor can show himself acquitted thereof
against the said sureties.
10. If anyone have borrowed anything of the Jews, more
or less, and die before the debt is satisfied, there shall be no
interest paid for that debt, so long as the heir is under age,
of whomsoever he may hold; and if the debt fall into our
hands we will only take the chattel mentioned in the deed.
11. If anyone shall die indebted to the Jews, his wife
shall have her dower and pay nothing of that debt; and if
the deceased left children under age, they shall have neces-
saries provided for them, according to the tenement of the
deceased: and out of the residue of the debt shall be paid,
saving however the service due to the lords; and in like
manner shall it be done touching debts due to others than
the Jews.
12. No scutage or aid shall be imposed in our kingdom,
unless by the general council of our kingdom; except for
ransoming our person, making our eldest son a knight, and
once for marrying our eldest daughter; and for these there
shall be paid a reasonable aid. In like manner it shall be
<:onceming the aids of the City of London.
13. And the City of London shall have all its ancient
liberties and free customs as well by land as by water; fur-
thermore we will and grant, that all other cities and bur-
oufrtis, and towns and ports, shall have all their liberties and
free customs.
14. And for holding the general council of the kingdom
concerning the assessment of aids, except in the three cases
aforesaid, and for the assessing of scutages, we shall cause
to be summoned the archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls and
jrreater barons of the realm, singly by our letters. And fur-
thermore, we shall cause to be summoned generally by our
sheriffs and bailiffs all others who hold of us in chief, for a
certain day, that is to say, forty days before their meeting at
least, and to certain place; and in all letters of such summons
LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
we will declare the cause of such summons. And summons
being thus made, the business of the day shall proceed on the
day appointed, according to the advice of such as shall be
present, although all that were summoned come not.
15. We will not for the future grant to anyone that he may
take aid of his own free tenants, unless to ransom his body,
and to make his eldest son a knight and once to marry his
eldest daughter; and for tnis there shall be only naid a rea-
sonable aid.

for a knight's fee or other free tenement, than is due from
thence. ,

be holden in some place certain.

of darien presentment, shall not be taken but in their proper

aries through every county four times a year, who, with four
knights, chosen out of every shire by the people, shall hold
the said assizes, in the county, on the day, and at the place
appointed.
19. And if any matters cannot be determined on the day
appointed for holding the assizes in each county, so many
of the knights and freeholders as have been at the assizes
aforesaid, shall stay to decide them, as is necessary, ac-
cording as there is more or less business.
20. A free man shall not be amerced for a small fault,,
but after the manner of the fault; and for a great crime ac-
cording to the heineousness of it, saving to him Lis contene-
ment ; and after the same manner a merchant, savine to him
his merchandise, and a villein shall be amerced after the
same manner, saving to him his wainage, if he falls under
our mercy; and none of the aforesaid amerciaments shall be
assessed out by the oath of honest men in the neighborhood.
21. Earls and barons shall not be amerced, but by their
peers, and after the dej?ree of the offense.

tenement, but according to the proportion of others afore-

debt which the dead man did owe to us, it shall be lawful
for the sheriff or our bailiff to attach and inroll the chattels
of the dead, found upon his lay-fee, to the value of the debt
by the view of lawful men, so as nothing be removed until
our whole clear debt be paid; and the rest shall be left to
the executors to fulfill the testament of the dead, and if there
be nothing due from him to us, all the chattels shall go to
the use of the dead, saving to his wife and children their
reasonable shares.
27. If any freeman shall die intestate, his chattels shall
be distributed by the hands of his nearest relations and

with us. And if there be found any such in our land, in the
beginning of the war, they shall -be^ attached, without dam-
age to their bodies or goods, until it be known unto us or
our chief justiciary, how our merchants be treated in the
nation at war with us; and if ours be safe there, the oth-
ers shall be safe in our dominions.
42. It shall be lawful, for the time to come, for anyone to
go out of our kingdom and return safe and securely by land

bailiffs but of such as know the law of the realm and mean
duly to observe it.
46. All barons who have founded abbeys and have the kings
of England's charters of advowson or the ancient tenure there-
of, shall have the keeping of them, when vacant, as they
ought to have.

shall forthwith be disforested; and the same shall be done
with the banks that have been fenced in by us in our time.

and warreners, sheriffs and their officers, rivers and their
keepers, shall forthwith be inquired into in each county, by
twelve sworn knights of the same shire, chosen by creditable
persons of the same county; and within forty days after the
said inquest, be utterly abolished, so as never to be restored;
so as we are first acquainted therewith, or our justiciary, if
we should not be in England.
49. We will immediately give up all hostages and writings
delivered unto us by our English subjects, as securities for
their keeping the peace, and yielding us faithful service.
50. We will entirely remove from our bailiwicks the rela-
tions of Gerard de Atheyes, so that for the future they shall

aries, who are come with horses and arms to the prejudice
of our people.
52. If anyone has been dispossessed or deprived by us
without the legal judgment of his peers, of his lands, castles,
liberties, or right, we will forthwith restore them to him;
and if any dispute arise upon his head let the matter be de-
cided by the five and twenty barons hereafter mentioned, for
the preservation of the peace. As for all those things of
which any person has, without the leral judgment of his
peers, been dispossessed or deprived, either by Kin'^ Henry
our father, or our brother King Richard, and which we have
in our hands, or are possessed by others, and we are bound
to warrant and make good, we shall have a respite till the
term usually allowed the crusaders ; excepting those ^ thinc^s
about which there is a plea depending, or whereof an inquest
8 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
hath been made, by our order, before we undertook the
crusade, but when we return from our pilgrimage, or if per-
chance we tarry at home and do not make our pilgrimage, we
will immediately cause full justice to be administered therein.
63. The same respite we shall have ^and in the same man-
ner about administering justice, disafforesting the forests or
letting them continue) for disafforesting the forests which
Henry our father, and our brother Richard have afforested;
and for the keeping of the lands which are in another's fee,
in the same manner as we have hitherto enjoved those
wardships, by reason of a fee held by us by knight's service;
and for the abbeys founded in any other fee than our own, in
which the lord of the fee says he has a right; and when we
return from our pilgrimage, or if we tarry at home, and do
not make our pilgrimage, we will immediately do full justice
to all the complainants in this behalf.
54. No man shall be taken or imprisoned upon the appeal
of a woman, for the death of any other than her husband.
55. All unjust and illegal fines made by us, and all amer-

land, shall be entirely given up, or else be left to the decision
of the five and twenty barons hereafter mentioned for the
preservation of the peace, or of the major part of them, to-
gether with the aforesaid Stephen, archbishop of Canterbury,
if he can be present, and others whom he shall think fit to
take along with him; and if he cannot be present, the busi-
ness shall notwithstanding go on without him; but so that
if one or more of the aforesaid five-and- twenty barons
be plaintiffs in the same cause, they shall be set aside as to
what concerns this particular affair, and others chosen in
their room, out of the said five-and-twenty, and sworn by
the rest to decide the matter.
56. If we have disseised or dispossessed the Welsh, of
any lands, liberties, or other things, without the legal judg-
ment of their peers, either in England or in Wales, they shall
be immediately restored to them; and if any dispute arise
upon this head, the matter shall be terminated in the marche
by the judgment of their peers; for tenements in England
according to the law of England, for tenements in Wales, ac-
cordinc: to the law in Wales, for tenements of the marche
according to the law of the marche ; the same snail the Welsh
do to us and our subjects.
57. As for all those things of which a Welshman hath,
without the legal judgment of his peers, been disseised or de-
prived of by Henry our father, or our brother Richard,
and which we neither have in our hands, or others are
possessed of, and we are obliged to warrant it, we shall have
a respite till the time generally allowed the crusaders: except-
ing those things about which a suit is depending, or whereof
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 9
an inquest has been made by our order, before we undertook
the crusade; but when we return, or if we stay at home with-
out performing our pilgrimage, we will immediately do them
full justice according to the laws of the Welsh and of the
parts before mentioned.
58. We will without delay dismiss the son of Llewellyn,
and all the Welsh hostages, and release them from the en-
jragements they have entered into with us for the preservation
of the peace.
59. We will treat with Alexander, King of Scots, con-
cerning the restoring of his sisters and hostages, and his rights
and liberties, in the same form and manner as we shall do
to the rest of our barons of Enjrland; unless by the charters
which we have from his father, William late King of Scots,
it oueht to be otherwise ; but this shall be left to the determi-
nation of his peers in our court.
60. All the aforesaid customs and liberties, which we have
granted to be holden in c ir kingdom, as much as it belongs
to us toward our people of our kingdom, as well clergy as
laity shall observe, as far as they are concerned toward their
■deoendents.
61. And whereas, for the honour of God and the amend-
ment of our kingdom, and for the better quieting the discord
that has arisen between us and our barons, we have granted
all these things aforesaid; willing to render them firm and
lasting, we do give and grant our subjects the underwritten
security, namely that the barons may choose five-and-twenty
Tjarons of the kingdom, whom they think convenient ; who
shall take care, with all their might, to hold and observe, and
cause to be observed, the peace and liberties we have granted
them, and this by our present charter confirmed; so that if
we, our justiciary, our bailiffs, or any of our officers shall in
any circumstances fail in the performance of them toward any
person, or shall break through any of these articles of peace
and security, and the offense be notified to four barons chosen
out of the five-and-twenty before mentioned, the said four
Tjarons shall repair to us, or our justiciary, if we are out of
tne realm, and laying open the grievance, shall petition to have
it redressed without delay ; and if it be not redressed by us, or
if we should chance to be out of the realm, if it should not
T)e redressed by our justiciary, within forty days, reckoning
from the time it has been notified to us, or to our justiciary,
(if we should be out of the realm,) the four barons afore-
said shall lay the cause before the rest of the five-and-twenty
"barons; and the said five-and-twenty barons, together with
the community of the whole kingdom, shall distrain and dis-
tress us in all possible ways, by seizing our castles, lands,
possessions and in any other manner they can, till the griev-
:ance is redressed according to their pleasure ; saving harmless
10 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
our own person, and the person of our queen and children;
and when it is redressed they shall obey us as before. And
any person whatsoever in the kingdom, may swear that he
will obey the orders of the five-and-twenty barons aforesaid,
in the execution of the premises, and will distress us, jointly
with them, to the utmost of his power ; and we give pub-
lic and free liberty to anyone that shall please to swear to
this, and never will hinder any person from taking the same
oath.
62. As for all those of our subjects who will not, of their
own accord, swear to join the five-and-twenty barons in dis-
training and distressing us, we will issue orders to make them
take the oath as aforesaid. And if any one of the five-and-
twenty barons dies, or goes out of the kingdom, or is
hindered any other way from carrying the things aforesaid in-
to execution, the rest of the said five-and-twenty barons may
choose any other in his room, at their discretion, who shall be
sworn in like manner as the rest. In all things that are com-
mitted to the execution of these five-and-twenty barons, if
when they are all assembled together, they should happen to-
disagree about any matter, and some of them, when summon-
ed, will not, or cannot come, whatever is agreed upon, or en-
joined, by the major part of those that are present, shall be
reputed as firm and valid as if all the five-and-twenty had
given their consent; and the aforesaid five-and-twenty shall
swear that all the premises they shall faithfully observe, and
cause with all their power to be observed. And we will not by
ourselves, or by any other, procure anything whereby any of
these concessions and liberties may be revoked or lessened;
and if any such thing be obtained, let it be null and void;
neither shall we ever make use of it, either by ourselves or
any other. And all the ill-will, indignations and rancours
that have arisen between us and our subjects, of the clergy
and laity, from the first breaking out of the dissentions be-
tween us, we do fully remit and forgive; moreover, all tres-
passes occasioned by the said dissentions, from Easter in the
fifteenth year of our reign, till the restoration of peace and
tranquility, we hereby entirely remit to all, both clergy and
laity, and as far as in us lies do fully forgive. We have,,
moreover, caused to be made for them the letter patent tcb-
timonial of Stephen, lord archbishop of Canterbury, Henry,
lord archbishop of Dublin, and the bishops aforesaid, as also-
of Master Pandulph, for the security and concession aforesaid.
63. Wherefore we will and firmly enjoin that the church
of England be free, and that all the men in our kingdom
have and hold all the aforesaid liberties, rights and conces-
sions, truly and peaceably, freely and quietly, fully and whollv
to themselves and their heirs, of us and our heirs, in* alt
things and places, forever, as is aforesaid. It is also sworn?

as well oh our part as on the part of the barons, that all the
things aforesaid shall be observed bona fide and without evil
subtility.

mede, between Windsor and Staines, the 15th day of June,

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessarjr
for one people to dissolve the political bands which have
connected them with another, and to assume among the
powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which,
the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a.
decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the separa-
tion.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights^
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever
any form of government becomes destructive of these ends,
it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to
institute new government, laying its foundation on such
principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as ta
them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happi-
ness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long
established should not be changed for light and transient
causes: and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are suffer-
able than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses
and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces
a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their
right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and
been the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such is
now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former
systems of government. The history of the present king of
Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpa-
tion, all having in direct object, the establishment of an ab-
solute tyranny over these states. To prove this let facts be
submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate
and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation
till his assent should be obtained ; and when so • suspended,,
he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
14 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation
of large districts of people, unless those people would relin-
quish the right of representation in the legislature; a right
inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,
uncomfortable and distant from the repository gf their pub-
lic records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into com-
pliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for op-
posing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of
the people.
He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions,
to cause others to be elected ; whereby the legislative pow-
ers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people
at large for their exercise; the state remaining, in the mean-
time, exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without,
and convulsions within.
He has endeavered to prevent the population of these
states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturaliza-
tion of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encouracre their
migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appro-
priations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by re-
fusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent upon his will alone, for the
tenure of their offices, and the amount and pa3rment of their
salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither
swarms of officers to harrass our people, and eat out their
substance.
He has kept among us in times of peace, standing armies,
without the consent of our legislatures.
He has effected to render the military independent of
and superior to the civil power.
He has combined with others, to subject us to a jurisdic-
tion foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our
laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legisla-
tion.
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us.
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for
any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants
of these states.
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world.
For imposing taxes on us without our consent.
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial
by jury.
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended
offenses.
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 15
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neigh-
boring province, establishing therein an arbitrary govern-
ment, and enlarginjr its boundaries, so as to render it at
once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same
absolute rule into these colonies.
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valu-
able laws, and altering, fundamentally, the forms of our
governments.
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring them-
selves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases
whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out
of his protection, and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our
towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign
mercenaries, to compleat the works of death desolation and
tyranny already begun with circumstances of cruelty and
perfidy scarcely paralleled in the rnost barbarous ages and
totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken captive on
the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to be-
come the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to
fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amonjfst us, and has
endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the
merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is
an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and condi-
tions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned
for redress, in the most humble terms; our repeated peti-
tions have been answered only by repeated injurv. A prince,
whose character is thus marked by every act which may de-
fine a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British
brethren. We have warned them from time to time of at-
tempts by their legislature to e;ctend an unwarrantable juris-
diction over us. We have reminded them of the circum-
stances of our immigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity and we
have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to
disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt
our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been
deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must,
therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our
separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind,
enemies in war. in peace friends.
We therefore, the representatives of the United States of
America, in general congress assembled, appealing to the
16 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our inten-
tions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good peo-
ple of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare. That these
United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, Free and Inde-
pendent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown, and that all political connection be-
tween them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to
be totally dissolved, and that as Free and Independent
States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace,
contract alliances, establish commerce, and do all other
acts and things which independent states may of right do.
And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance
on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge
to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION
[While the Declaration of Independence was under con-
sideration in the Continental Congress, and before it was
finally agreed upon, measures were taken for the establish-
ment of a constitutional form of government; and on the
11th of June, 1776, it was "Resolved, That a committee be
appointed to prepare and digest the form of a confederation
to be entered into between these Colonies" which committee
was appointed the next day, June 12, and consisted of a
member from eacn Colony, namely: Mr. Bartlett, Mr. S.
Adams, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Sherman, Mr. R. R. Livingston,
Mr. Dickinson, Mr. McKean, Mr. Stone, Mr. Nelson, Mr.
Hewes, Mr. E. Rutledge and Mr. Gwinnett. On the 12th
of July, 1776, the committee reported a draught of the
Articles of Confederation, which was printed for the use of
the members under the strictest injunctions of secrecy.
The report underwent a thorough discussion in congress,
from time to time until the 15th day of November, 1777; on
which day "Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union"
were finally agreed to in form, and they were directed to be
proposed to the legislatures of all the United States, and if
approved by them, they were advised to authorize their dele-
gates to ratify the same in the congress of the United States ;
and in that event they were to become conclusive. On the
17th of November, 1777, the congress agreed upon the form
of a circular letter to accompany the articles of confederation,
which concluded with a recommendation to each of the sev-
eral legislatures "to invest its delegates with competent pow-
ers, ultimately, and in the name and behalf of the state, to
subscribe articles of confederation and perpetual union of the
United States, and to attend congress for that purpose on
or before the 10th day of March next." This letter was
signed by the president of congress and sent, with a copy of
the articles, to each state legislature.
On the 26th of June, 1778, congress agreed upon the form
of a ratification of the articles of confederation, and directed
a copy of the articles and the ratification to be engrossed on
parchment; which, on the 9th of July, 1778, having been ex-
amined and the blanks filled, was signed by the delegates of
New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia and South Carolina. Congress then directed
that a circular letter be addressed to the states whose dele-
gates were not present, or being present, conceived they were
—2-

' — — — — — ^ .
nor authorized to sign the ratification, informing them how
many and what states had ratified the articles of confedera-
tion, and desiring them, with all convenient dispatch, to au-
thorize their delegates to ratify the same. Of these states
North Carolina ratified on the 21st and Georgia on the 24th
of July, 1778; New Jersey on the 26th of November follow-
ing; Delaware on the 5th of May, 1779; Maryland on the
1st of March, 1781; and on the 2d of March, 1781, congress
assembled* under the new form of government. 1

22 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL

to congress and lodged among the acts of congress for the
security of the parties concerned; provided that every com-

pa§sed such grants are adjusted, the said grants or either of
them being at the same time claimed to have originated ante-
cedent to such settlement of jurisdiction, shall on the petition

determined as near as may be in the same manner as is before
prescribed for deciding disputes respecting territorial juris-
diction between different states.

ber of men than the quota thereof, such extra number shall be
raised, officered, clothed, armed and equipped in the same
manner as the '^uota of such state, unless the legislature of

In Congress, July 13, 1787.
Be it ordained by the United States in Congress assembled,

ment, be one district; subject, however, to be divided into
two districts, as future circumstances may, in the opinion
of Congress, make it expedient.
Be it Ordained by the authority aforesaid, That the states
both of resident and non-resident proprietors in the said Terri-
tory dying* intestate, shall descend to and be distributed
among their childen and the descendants of a deceased child
in equal parts; the descendants of a deceased child or grand-
child to take the share of their deceased parent in equal

descendants, then in equal parts to the next of kin, in equal
degree; and among collaterals, the children of a deceased
brother or sister of the intestate shall have in equal parts
among them their deceased parents* share; and there shall
in no case be a distinction between kindred of the whole
and half blood; saving in all cases to the widow of the in-
testate her third part of the real estate for life, and one-third
part of the personal estate: and this law relative to descents
and dower shall remain in full force until altered by the
legislature of the district. And until the governor and
judges shall adopt laws as hereinafter mentioned, estates in

writing, signed and sealed by him or her in whom the estate
may be, (being of full age,) and attested by three witnesses ;
and real estate may be conveyed by lease and release or bar-
gain and sale, signed, sealed, and delivered, by the person,

whom to form a court, who shall have a common law juris-
diction, and reside in the district, and have each therein a
freehold estate in five hundred acres of land, while in the
exercise of their offices ; and their commissions sh-U continue

HISTORICAL.
Dakota is an Indian name and signifies "confederated"
or "leagued together," and applied originally to the Sioux
confederation of Indians. The present state of North Da^
kota, together with that of South Dakota, was a part of the
territory purchased in 1803 of France by President Thomas
Jefferson for the sum of fifteen million dollars and the
assumption of certain claims held by citizens of the United
States against France, which made the purchase amount
to twenty-seven milion two hundred and sixty-seven thou-
sand and six hundred and twenty-one dollars and ninety-
eight cents ($27,267,621.98), and was known as the Loui-
siana purchase.
October 1, 1803, that part of the new purchase lying south
of Arkansas was formed into the "Territory of Orleans;"
the remaining portion, which includes the states of Arkan-
sas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, part of
Colorado, North and South Dakota, the Indian Territory
and a part of Wyoming was formed into the district of
Louisiana, and the governing power was vested in a gov-
ernor and judge of what was then known as the Indian Ter-
ritory. President Jefferson having great confidence in the
future greatness of the west, sent in 1804, an exoloring ex-
pedition in charge of Captains Lewis and Qark, who were
the first to traverse the entire length of the Missouri river,
and in 1804-5-6 gave the world the first general account
of Dakota. Lewis and Clark camped the first winter in
latitude 47 degrees, 21 minutes, 23 seconds — among the
Mandan Indians, at Fort Mandan, which was some twelve or
fifteen miles above Washburn in McLean county.
The first mention of the country west of the great lakes
was made by Nicollet, sent out by the French authorities
at Quebec in 1639. Nicollet called the inhabitants Nad-
suessioux, which was abbreviated into Sioux by the later
French explorers. The Sioux were warlike and the enemy
of all other tribes, hence the name Sioux, or enemy.
July 1, 1805, congress designated the District of Louisiana
as the territory of the same name, and placed the legisla-
tive power in the hands of a governor and three judges
named by the president and confirmed by the senate of
the United States. December 7, 1812, the name of the
territory was changed to "Territory of Missouri," and lim-
ited power was granted the people residing therein to elect
a legislative body. June 28, 1834, congress created the ter-
ritory of Michigan, which included that part of Dakota,
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 55
North and South, lying east of the Missouri and W^^^®
Earth rivers, and including the present states of Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. The territory of Wiscon-
sin was established July 3, 1836, and included that part of
the state of North Dakota lying east of the Missouri and
White Earth rivers. June 12, 1838, the territory of Iowa
was organized, includincr part of the present state of North
Dakota; March 3, 1849, the territory of Minnesota was
established, which covered that part of the state of North
Dakota lying east of the Missouri river; May 30, 1854, the
territory of Nebraska was organized and that part of the
states of North and South Dakota lying west of the Mis-
souri and White Earth rivers and which previous to
that time had been known as "Mandan Territorv" was in-
cluded in Nebraska Territory.
Minnesota became a state on the 11th day of May, 1858;
from that date' until the second day of March, 1861, all that
part of both North and South Dakota east of the Missouri
and White Earth rivers was without legal name or exist-
ence.
The bill incorporating the present states of North and
South Dakota as Dakota Territory was signed by President
Buchanan on March 2, 1861. On May 27th thereafter
President Lincoln appointed as the first frovernor of Dakota
Territory Dr. William Jayne, of Springfield, 111. Dr. Jayne
had been a young man who grew up as a physician while
Lincoln was developing as a lawyer in Springfield, the
then new capital of Illinois, and a close personal friendship
had existed between the two until Lincoln had become
president of the United States; and in recognition of the
friendship of his earlier days he appointed Dr. Jayne as
the first governor of what was then to his mind the most
promising territory yet organized.
The employes of various fur companies were the first
white settlers of this territory of Dakota. As early as 1808
the government established Fort Clark on the Missouri
at the mouth of the Knife river — a t>oint about seven miles
up the river from where Lewis and Clark had in 1804-5 spent
the winter and established what they called Fort Mandan.
In 1811 Lord Selkirk built a fort at Pembina on the Red
river a short distance below the international boundary
line. Fort Pierre was built in 1829 and the first steamer
ascended the Missouri river in 1830. In 1839 Cren. John C.
Fremont crossed over the countrv from the Missouri to the
James rivers thence across the country to Devils Lake.
Catlin, the famous Indian painter, whose collection, the
largest in the world, of oictures of noted Indian chiefs —
now owned by the government and on exhibit in the
national museum at Washington — traveled over the coun-
56 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
try in 1841. A majority of these pictures were painted
from sittings in life. Captain Pope's map of a trip to the
Red River in 1849, and which is now on file in the war de-
partment at Washington, designates all the country around
Devils Lake as a "Salt water reeion," and Lieutenant War-
ren, who explored the "Dacouta" country under the direc-
tion of the pfovernment in 1855 said the territory was occu«
pied by powerful tribes of roving savages and "is only
adapted to a mode of life like theirs."
Gov. William Tayne arrived at Yankton, "which was desig-
nated in the act om^anizing the territory of Dakota, as the
territorial capital, on May 27, 1861, and proceeded to the
organization of a territorial government. Yankton re-
mained the canital from that date until the 2nd day of
June, 1883, when it was removed from Yankton to Bis-
marck, which remained the territorial capital 'mtil the for-
mation of the states of North and South Dakota. The ter-
ritorial legislature passed an act in 1883 providing for the
removal of the territorial capital from Yankton to a point
designated by the commissioners appointed for the location of
the new capital. The following persons were appointed as
such commissioners, viz: Alexander McKenzie, Milo W.
Scott, Burleigh F. Spalding, Charles H. Myers, George A.
Matthews, Alexander Hughes, Henry H. DeLong, John P.
Belding and M. D. Thompson. The capital commission at
a session held in the city of FarQ:o, on the 2nd day of June,
1883, located the territorial capital at Bismarck. The act
provided that $100,000 and 160 acres of land should be
donated to the state for capital purposes as *> condition of
the location of the seat of government. The citizens of Bis-
marck by voluntary subscription contributed $100,000 in cash
and 320 acres of land.
A bill known as the "omnibus bill" and which was an
act dividine the territory of Dakota into the states of North
and South Dakota, and enabling the two Dakotas, Montana
and Washington to formulate constitutions, was approved
February 22, 1889, and a constitutional convention was
held at Bismarck, beerinning July 4, 1889. A constitution
was formulated and submitted to a vote of the neople of
the state of North Dakota at an election called for that
purpose, and to elect state officers. October 1, 1889. There
were 27,440 votes cast for and 8,107 against the adoption
of the constitution.

after provided.

tive assemblies thereof are hereby authorized to vote for

tions shall be such as by the laws of said territories re-
spectively, persons are required to possess to be eligible to
the legislative assemblies thereof; and the aforesaid dele-
gates to form said conventions shall be apportioned within
the limits of the proposed states, in such districts as may

lation in each of said counties and districts, as near as may

ments by the persons hereinafter authorized to make the

first Tuesday in October. And the constitutional conven-
tions which may assemble in North Dakota, Montana and
Washington shall provide in like manner for submitting the
constitutions formed by them to the people of said pro-
posed states, respectively, for ratification or rejection at
elections to be held in said proposed states on the said first
Tuesday in October. At the elections provided for in this
section the qualified voters of said proposed states shall

to enable the people of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana
and Washington to form constitutions and state governments and

original states, and to make donations of public lands to such
states.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress Assembled,
That the inhabitants of all that part of the area
of the United States now constituting the territories
of Dakota, Montana and Washington as at present de-
scribed, may become the states of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana and Washington, respectively, as herein-
after provided.
Sec. 2. The area comprising the territory of Dakota
shall for the purposes of this act be divided on the line of
the 7th standard parallel produced due west to the western
boundary of said territory; and the delegates elected as
hereinafter provided to the constitutional convention in
districts north of said parallel shall assemble in convention,
at the time prescribed in this act, at the City of Bismarck;
and the delegates elected in districts south of said parallel
shall, at the same time, assemble in convention at the city
of Sioux Falls.
Sec. 3. That all persons who are qualified by the laws
of said territories to vote for representatives to the legisla-
tive assemblies thereof are hereby authorized to vote for
and choose delegates to form conventions in said proposed
states; and the qualifications for delegates to such conven-
tions shall be such as by the laws of said territories re-
spectively, persons are required to possess to be eligible to
the legislative assemblies thereof; and the aforesaid dele-
gates to form said conventions shall be apportioned within
the limits of the proposed states, in such districts as may
be established as herein provided, in proportion to the popu-
lation in each of said counties and districts, as near as may
be, to be ascertained at the time of making said apportion-
ments by the persons hereinafter authorized to make the
same from the best information obtainable, in each of which
districts three delegates shall be elected, but no elector shall
vote for more than two persons for delegates to such con-
ventions; that said apportionments shall be made by the
70 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
governor, the chief justice and the secretary of said terri-
tories; and the governors of said territories shall, by pro-
clamation, order an election of the delegates aforesaid in each
of said proposed states, to be held on the Tuesday after the
second Monday in May, 1889; which proclamation shall be
issued on the 15th day of April, 1889; and such election shall
be conducted, the returns made, thp result ascertained, and
the certificates to persons elected to such conventions issued
in the same manner as is prescribed by the laws of the said
territories regulating elections therein for delegates to con-
gress; and the number of votes cast for delegates in each pre-
cinct shall also be returned. The number of delegates to said
conventions respectively shall be 75; and all persons resident
in said proposed states who are qualified voters of said ter-
ritories as herein provided, shall be entitled to vote upon the
election of delegates ; and under such rules and regulations as
said conventions may prescribe, not in conflict with this
act upon the ratification or rejection of the constitutions.
Sec. 4. That the delegates to the conventions elected
as provided for in this act shall meet at the • seat of gov-
ernment of each of said territories, except the delegates
elected in South Dakota, who shall meet at the city of Sioux

tion shall declare, on behalf of the people of said proposed
states, that they adopt the constitution of the United States;
whereupon the said conventions shall be, and are hereby
authorized to form constitutions and state . governments for
said proposed states respectively. The constitution shall be
republican in form, and make no distinction in civil or political
rights on account of race or color, except as to Indians not
taxed, and not be repugnant to the constitution of the
United States and the principles of the declaration of inde-
pendence. And said convention shall provide, by ordinances
irrevocable without the consent of the United States and the
people of said states:
First. That the perfect toleration of religious sentiment
shall be secured, and that no inhabitant of said states shall
ever be molested in person or property on account of his
or her mode of religious worship.
Second. That the people inhabiting said proposed states
do agree and declare that they forever disclaim all right
and 'title to the unappropriated public lands lying within the
boundaries thereof, and to all lands lying within said limits
owned or held by any Indian or Iridian tribes ; and that until
the title thereto shall have been extinguished by the United
States the same shall be and remain subject to the disposition
of the United States, and said Indian lands shall remain
under the absolute jurisdiction and control of the congress
of the United States; that the lands belonging to citizens of
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 71
the United States residing without the said states shall never
be taxed at a higher rate than the lands belonging to residents
thereof; that no taxes shall be imposed by the states on lands
or property therein belonging to or which may hereafter be
purchased by the United States or reserved for its use. But
nothing herein, or in the ordinances herein provided for,
shall preclude the said states from taxing as other lands are
taxed any lands owned or held by any Indian who has severed
his tribal relations, and has obtained from the United States or
from any person a title thereto by patent or other erant, save
and except such lands as have been or may be granted to any
Indian or Indians under any act of congress containing a
provision exempting the lands thus granted from taxation;
but said ordinances shall provide that all such lands shall be
exempt from taxation by said states so long and to such extent
as such act of congress may prescribe.
Third. That the debts and liabilities of said t-rritories
shall be assumed and naid by said states respectively.

ment and maintenance of systems of public schools, which
shall be open to all the children of said states, and free from
sectarian control.

marck shall form a constitution and state government for a
state to be known as North Dakota and the convention
which shall assemble at Sioux Falls shall form a constitu-
tion and state government for a state to be known as South

constitutional convention in South Dakota, as hereinbefore
provided, each elector may have written or printed on his
ballot the words "For the Sioux Falls Constitution" or the
words "Against the Sioux Falls Constitution" and the
votes on this question shall be returned and canvassed in
the same manner as for the election provided for in section 3
of this act; and if a majority of all votes cast on this ques-
tion shall be "For the Sioux Falls Constitution" it shall be
the duty of the convention which may assemble at Sioux
Falls, as herein provided, to resubmit to the neople of
South Dakota, for ratification or rejection at the election

ticles and propositions separately submitted at that election,
including the auestion of locating the temporary seat of
government, with such changes only as relate to the name and
boundary of the proposed state, to the reapportionment of the

(1) Approximate population of present area of North Dakota.
(2) Dakota territory.
The population of the state in 1900 was 819,146 as compared with
a population in 1890 of 182,719, showing an increase during the last
ten years of 186,427, or 74.7 per cent. A small portion of this in-
crease is due to the fact that there were 7,980 Indians and 284 other
persons, or a total of 8,264 persons, on Indian reservations, etc,
m North Dakota, who were specially enumerated in 1890 under the
provisions of the census act, but were included in the general popu>
lation of the state at that census. That part of the territorV of
Dakota which now constitutes the state of North Dakota, had an
approximate population in 1870 of 2,406, and in 1880 of 36,909, the
increase from 1870 to 1880 having been 84,504, or 1,434.7 per cent,
and from ]889 to 1890, 145,810, or 391.1 per cent.
The population of North Dakota in 1900 was nearly nine times as-
large as that given for 1880.
The total land surface of North Dakota is approximately 70,195-
square miles, the average number of persons to the square mile at
the censuses of 1890 and 1900 being as follows: 1890, 2.6; 1900, 4.5.
Table 2 shows the population of North Dakota by counties at eacb>
census from 1870 to 1900 inclusive, while table 8, which immediately
follows, shows, for each county, the increase (or decrease) by number
and per cent during the .ten years from 1890 to 1900.

There are ten different kinds of money in circulation in the United
States, namely, gold coin, standard silver dollars, subsidiary silver,
gold certificates, silver certificates, treasury notes issued under the
act of Julv 14, 1890; United States notes (also called greenbacks and
legal tenders), national bank notes and nickel and bronze coins.
These forms of money are all available as circulation.
Gold coin is legal tender at its nominal or face value for all debts,
public and private, when not below the standard weight and limit
of tolerance prescribed ^y law; and when below such standard of toler-
ance it is legal tender in proportion to its weight.
Standard silver dollars are legal tender at their nominal or face
value in payment of all debts,, public and private, without regard
to the amount, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract.
Subsidiary silver is legal tender for amounts not exceeding $10
in any one payment. Treasury notes of the act of July 14, 1890,
are le^l tender for all debts, public and private, except where
otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract.
United States notes are legal tender for all debts, public and
private, except duties on imports and interest on the public debt.
Gold certificates, silver certificates and national bank notes are not
legal tender, but such classes of certificates are receivable for all
public dues, while national bank notes are receivable for all public
dues except duties on imports, and may be paid out by the govern-
ment for all salaries and other debts and demands owing by the
United States to individuals, corporations and associations within the
United States, except interest on the public debt and in redeimption
of the national currency. All national banks are required by law to
receive the notes of other national banks at par.

tent of 25 rents.

value is the dollar, which contains 25.8 grrains of standard gold,
900 fine. The amount of fine gold in the dollar is 23.22 grains, and

The island of Porto Rico, thitherto a Spanish colony,, was forn\ally
ceded to the United States under the Treatv of Paris of December,
10, 1898. A civil Jfovernment was established on May I, 1900. On
July 26, 1901, it became a territory of the United States on a basis
in some ■ respects similar to that of the territories on the North
American continent, but with these important differences, that citi-
zens of Porto Rico are not ipso facto citizens of the United States,
and that the present status of the territory is not considered to hk
preliminary to statehood. Free trade exists between the island and
the United States. A decision of the United States Supreme Court
on Dcember 2, 1901, sustained the Foraker act and the validity of
the tariff system established by the United States government with
respect to Porto Rico, and confirmed the principle that Porto Ricans
are not citizens of the United States. On August 2, 1902, the
Commissioner General of Immigration issued an order to the effect
that Porto Ricans -coming to the United States were to be regarded
as aliens. This decision was subsequently reversed by the United
States Supreme Court.
Bv the terms of the Foraker act practical automony was granted
to the insular government for which it provides, and a large majority
of all the officials throughout the island are left to the urestricted
choice of its own citizens. Ihe oovernor and the heads of the various
executive departments are chosen by the president with the approval
of the senate, and the executive council, which constitutes one of
396
LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
the branches of the legislative assembly, consists of the six executive
department heads so chosen, tnc secretary, attorney general, treas-
urer, auditor, commissioner of education and commissioner of the
interior, with five natives of Porto Rico, who are also appointed by
the president. The house of delegates, or popular branch of the
legislative assemolv, consisting of thirty-five members, is elected by
the voters from the seven election districts into which the island^ is
divided; and in the judicial department the supreme ocurt, consist-
ing of five members, is appointed by the president, but a majority of
the members chosen for tnat tribunal of last resort are native citizens
of the island; and of the judges of the various district courts who are
appointed by the governor, the large majority are also selected from
among the native population. The internal revenue laws of the
.United States do not apply to Porto Rico.

Rico since annexation is shown by the table appended, covering the

The Philippine Islands came into the possession of the United
States as a result of the war with Spain and under the terms of
the Treaty of Paris of December 10, 1898. On February 4, 1899,
two days before the ratification of the treaty by the United States-
senate, the native forces under Aguinaldo attacked the American
garrison at Manila, and an insurrection against American authority
was started, which lasted for nearly two years. The islands were-
under military rule until July 1, 1901, when the provisional mili-
tanr government was superseded bv a civil government. The chief
officers of the latter are appointed by the President of the United"
States. Provincial and municipal officers are elected by the peo-
ple. On December 2, 1901, the Supreme Court of the United States
decided that free trade must prevail between the Philippines and the
United States until congress should enact a special tariff law for
the islands. Accordingly a Philippine tariff bill was introduced into-
congress and became a law on March 8, 1902. It was followed on
July 1, 1902, by a civil government act for the Philippines.
•A general amnesty for all except criminals under the common law
and rebels remaining in arms was proclaimed July 4, 1902. The
vexed question of the friars' lands was amicably settled in Decem-
ber, 1903. After protracted negotiations, in the course of which
Governor Taft visited Rome, an acrreement was made with the church-
authorities by which the insular government acquired the friars' hold-
ings at a cost of $7,239,784. The purchase included 391,000 acres.
These lands will be eventually sold by the insular government.
By the act of March 2, 1903, congress provided a system of coin-
age for the Philippines. The unit of value is the gold peso, of
twelve and nine-tenths grains of gold, nine-tenths fine. The Philip-
pine Commission is authorized to coin $75,000,000 in silver pesos,
each peso of 416 grains, 900 parts fine metal and 100 parts cop-
per alloy. These silver coins are redeemable at the rate of two for
one in gold pesos, and are legal tender in the Philippine Islands,
for all debts, public or private, unless otherwise specifically provided
by contract. Some new subsidiary coins are also provided for.
^ At the last session of the 58th congress a new tariff for the Philip-
pines was enacted, and a law was passed providing for railroad con-
struction and other public improvements and amending the Civil'
Government act of March 8, 1902. The new Philippine tariff— on
foods imported into the Philippines — went into effect on July 2, 1905..
t was further amended at the first session of the 69th congress. Con-
398
LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
gress at the same session passed a law postponing until July 1, 1909,
the application to Philippine commerce of the navigation laws of the
United States. At^ the second session of the 69th congress a law
was passed establishing a Philippine Agricultural Bank.
Elections for the first Philippine Assembly were held on July 30,
1907. Eighty-one seats were allotted to the various provinces, the
maximum membership of the assembly being 100. A small vote was
cast, about 98,000, or only 1.4 per cent of the population. The
Nationalist factions chose *a great majority of the assemblymen. Regu-
lar biennial elections are to be held hereafter, beginning with the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1909, the mem-
bers chosen to hold office for two vears beginning January 1, 1910.
The Assembly was opened on October 16, 1907, Secretary Taft at-
tending the ceremony and making an address. Sergio Osmena, of
Ccbu, Nationalist, was chosen president of the body. To quality as
voters applicants must be males, twenty-three vears of a^e and have
a legal residence in the municipality in which they desire to cxer-
cis the right of suffrage, and must not be citizens or subjects of
any foreign power, and furthermore must be comprised within one
of the three following classes:
(a) Those who, prior to August 13, 1898, held certain offices
under the Spanish government.
(b) Those who own real property to the value of 600 pesos, or
who annually pay 30 pesos or more of the established taxes.
(c) Those who speak, read and write English or Spanish.
On November 21, 1907, the two branches of the legislature elected
Benito Legarda and Pablo Ocambo de Leon Resident Commissioners
to the United States, to serve till January, 1909.

and shall be exercised in such manner as the president shall direct »
for the government of said zone and maintaining and protecting the
inhabitants thereof in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property
and religion/' Under the terms of this act the Isthmian Canal Com-
mission was created and a temporary government was set up in the
canal strip, with Major General George B. Davis as governor.
At the third session of the 68th congress no further legislation was
had , and the president resumea full control under the general canal act.
The canal commission was reorganized and the governor of the canal
zone was made also United States Minister at Panama. The new
commissioners were nominated on April 3, 1905. On June 30, John
F. Stevens replaced John F. Wallace as chief engineer and member
of the commission.
REORGANIZATION OF 1906.
Under a reorganization effected in 1905, three executive departments
were created, one headed by the chairman of the commission, one
by the governor of the canal zone and one by the chief engineer. By
an order signed November 19, 1906, this triple control was abolished
The office of governor was left vacant. Governor Magoon having been
transferred to Cuba, and seven departments were created, all under
the supervision of, and reporting to the chairman of the canal com-
mission. The heads of the seven departments were: Chief engineer,
John F. Stevens; general counsel, Kichard R. Rodgers; chiei sani-
tary officer, William L. Gorgas; chief purchasing officer, D. W. Ross;
general auditor, E. S. Benson; disbursing officer, J. Williams; manager
of labor and quarters, Jackson Smith.
REORGANIZATION OF 1907.
Bids were asked from contractors in 1906 for the work of excavating
the canal, but after long delays and much friction all were rejectea
early in 1907, and the administration turned to the idea of having the
enterprise managed by government engmeers. Theodore P. Shonts^
the chairman of the commission, resigned in January, the resignation
to take effect on Mkrch 4, 1907, and he was succeeded temporarily
by John F. Stevens. Mr. Stevens had also resigned as chief en-
gineer, when the plans for construction by private contract were
changed, and early in March a new commission was appointed. Col.
Gorgas and Jackson Smith alone remaining on the commission of
1906. Under the reorganization the departments were thus assigned:
Construction and Engineering, Lieutenant Colonel Goethals; Excava-
tion and Dredging, Major Gaillard; Lock and Dam Construction,
Major Sibert; Municipal Engineering, Motive Power and Machinery,
Lieutenant Rousseau; Civil Administration, J. C. S. Blackburn; Sani-
tation, Colonel Gorgas; Labor, Quarters and Subsistence, Jackson
Smith. Mr. Smith was succeeded in the commission on June, 1908,
by Lieutenant Colonel Harry F. Hodges, U. S. A. A highly satis-
factory increase in the rate of excavation has been made under the
new commission.
An advisory board of engineers met in Washington on September
1, 1905, and later made a visit to the isthmus. It reported early in
1906 in favor of the construction . of a sea level canal. But the
sea level plan was abandoned by the administration as impracticable
and the 59th congress at its first session passed an act directing the
construction of a lock canal. President Roosevelt paid a visit to
the canal strip in November, 1906. The secretary of the treasury on
July 2, 1906, invited bids for $30,000,000 of 2 per cent ten year-
thirty year Panama bonds, and the issue was subscribed for to the
amount of $445,000,000. The average price bid for the $30,000,000
awarded was 103.95. A sale of $50,000,000 of bonds was advertised
in November, 1907, but the issue was subsequently limited to $25,-
000,000. There were outstanding on December 1, 1908, canal bonds

delivery by special messenger. Special delivery stamps may be pur-
chased at post offices, or if stamps of any kind to the amount of
10 cents, in addition to the regular postage, are attached and the
words '*Si>ecial Delivery*' are written on the front of the envelope,
the letter will be entitled to special delivery the same as
though a regular special delivery stamp was attached. The
delivery, at carrier offices, extends to the limits of the carrier routes.
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 419
At non-carrier offices it extends to one mile from the post office. Post*
masters are not obliged to deliver beyond these limits » and letters
addressed to places De3rond must await delivery in the usual way»
notwithstanding the special delivery stamp.
All mail matter at large post offices is necessarily handled in great
haste and should therefore m all cases be so plainly addressed as to
leave no room for doubt and no excuse for error on the part of postal
employes. Names of states should be written in full (or their abbrevia-
tions very distinctly written) in order to prevent errors which arise
from the similarity of such abbreviations as Cal., Col.; Pa., Va.» Vt.;
Me., Mo., Md.; loa., Ind.; N. H., N. M.. N. Y., N. J., N. C, D.
C; Miss., Mmn., Mass.; Nev., Neb.; Penn., Tenn., etc, when
hastily or carelessly written. This is especially necessary in addressing
mail matter to places of which the names are borne by several post
offices in different states.
Never send money or any other article of value through the mail
except either by means of a money order or in a registered letter. Any
person who sends money or jewelry in an unregistered letter not only
runs a risk of losing his property, but exposes to temptation every
one through whose hands his letter passes, and may be the means
of ultimately bringing some clerk or letter carrier to ruin.
See that every letter or package bears the full name and post office
address of the writer, in order to secure the return of the letter, if the
person to whom it is directed cannot be found.
Such articles as poisons, explosives or inflammable articles, live ani-
mals, insects, frmts or vegetable matter liable to decomposition, or
substances exhaling a bad odor will not be forwarded in any case.
Letters (but no other class of mail matter) will be returned to the
sender free, if a request to that effect is printed or written on the
envelope. There is no limit of weight for first class maher fully pre-
paid.
An indemnity— not to exceed $25 for any one registered piece, or
the actual value of the piece, if it is less than $25 — shall be paid for
the loss of first class registered matter.
When dropping a letter, newspaper, etc., into a street mailing box,
or into the receptacle at a post office, always see that the packet falls
into the box and does not stick in its passage. Observe, also, par-
ticularly, whether the postage stamps remain securely in their places.
Applications for the establishment of post offices should be addressed
to the first assistant postmaster general, accompanied by a statement
of the necessity therefor. Instructions will then be given and blanks
furnished to enable the petitioners to provide the department with the
necessary information.

USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT STEAM.
A cubic inch of water evaporated under atmospheric pressure is
approximately converted into one cubic foot of steam.
The horse power of boilers, as per standard adopted by the Am.
S. M. E., is 30 pounds water evaporated per hour at a pressure of
70 pounds per square inch and from a temperature of 100 deg. Fahr.
Well designed boilers, under successful operation, will evaporate
from 7 to 10 pounds of water per pound of first class coal.
Each square foot of heating surface is considered sufficient to
evaporate two pounds of water; therefore, for an engine using 80
pounds water per horse power per hour, each horse power of the
engine requires 15 square feet heating surface in the boiler.
On one square foot of fire grate can be burned on an average from
10 to 12 pounds hard coal, or 18 to 20 pounds soft coal, per hour,
with natural draft.
Two and one-quarter pounds of dry wood is equal to one pound
of average quality of soft coal.
Steam engines constune from 12 to 60 pounds of feed water, and
from 1^ to 7 pounds of coal, per hour per indicated horse power.
Condensing engines require from 20 to SO times the amount of
feed water for condensing purposes; approximately for most engines,
1 to 1^ gallons condensing water per mmute per indicated horse power*
Surface condensers for compound steam engines require two square
feet of cooling surface per horse power; ordinary engmes will require
more surface according to their economy in the use of steam. It is
absolutely necessary that the air-pump should be set lower than the
condenser for satisfactory results. •
The effect of a good air-pump and condenser should be to get 26
inches of vacuum and to make available about 10 pounds more mean
effective pressure with the same terminal pressure, or to give the same
mean effective pressure with a correspondingly less terminal pressure.
Approximately, a good condenser will save one-fourth of the fuel
consumed, or, in other words, increase the power of the engine one-
fourth, the fuel constuntion remaining the same.

minor children.
11. Under acts of congress approved March 2, 1889, and April
28, 1904, a party who entered lands, prior to said acts, has the
right, where his said entry was canceled for any cause, to enter
again, and where his entry is of record, he having failed to comply
with the laws as to residence, has the right to relinquish his claim
to the United States, and enter the same or other tract, provided
no other right has attached; the acts further provide that, when
an entry has been made, and an applicant is residing on the land
entered, which was for less than 160 acres, he has the ri^ht to
enter, if adjoining, enough land to make 160 acres; the residence
upon the original in this case being applicable to the additional;
and if none is adjoining he has the right to make entry elsewhere,
after having proved up his first entry, the two entries not to
contain over 160 acres, but the full period of residence on the
additional non-contiguous tract must be shown before proof can be
made on same.
In the act of congress approved June 5, 1900, section 2 provides
that any person who has theretofore made a homestead entry and
commuted same under section 2301, revised statutes, and the amend-
ments thereto, shall be entitled to the benefits of the homestead laws
as though such former entry had not been made, but commutation
under section 2301, revised statutes, shall not be allowed of an
entry made under this section.
'The act of February 8, 1908 (Public — No. 18), allows a person
otherwise qualified to make a second homestead entry where such
person has made and lost, forfeited or abandoned a former home-
stead entry prior to the passage of said act, and such former entry was
not cancefeci for fraud nor abandoned or relinquished for a consider-
ation.
The person applying to make second homestead entry under this
act must file in the local land office an application to enter a specific
tract of public land subject to homestead entry, accompanied by his
affidavit executed before an officer authorized to administer oaths in
homestead cases, stating description of former entry by section, town-
ship and range numbers (or number of entry and name of offic2
where made); date of entry; wnen he lost, forfeited or abandoned
460 t^EGlSLATIVE MANUAL
the same; that it was not canceled for fraud, and whether he re-
ceived anything for abandoning his claim or relinquishing his en-
try, nor any monetary or other valuable consideration, for the im-
Srovemcnts thereon. This affidavit must be corroborated by the af-
davit of one or more persons having knowledge of the facts rela-
tive to the abandonment of his claim or the relinquishment of the
former entry, which corroborated affidavit may be executed before
any officer authorized to administer oaths, and having an official seal.
is. Under act of congress approved August 30, 1890, one p^-sou
can ent^ onW 320 acres of public land. This act is held to be
prospective ana not retroactive. That is, no matter how much land
a party entered prior to the date of the above act, he may there-
after, if in other respects qualified, enter 320 acres, but not more.
This law does not apply to mineral or coal lands, but to lands which
are classed as agricultural lands. The government does not guarantee
that its "agriculturar* lands will produce crops. Hence the intend-
ing settler should carefully examine in person the land he or she
intends to enter. -
IS. -A party desiring to relinquish his land to the United States
for the purpose of re-entering, or for the purpose of letting others
enter, roust make the following relinquishment on the back of his
duplicate receipt, registers final certificate, or upon a separate re-
linquishment blank (Govt, form 4-621), acknowledged before some
officer with a seal: *"I herebv relinquish all my right, title, interest
and claim in and to the within described land to the United States."
Relinquishment made at the land office can be made without any cost.
In the event of the loss of the duplicate receipt, or regfister's final
certificate, an affidavit accounting for the loss, made under seal,
and relinquishment thereon, will be sufficien-t.
14. A single woman does not forfeit her homestead entry by
marriage if thereafter she continues to comply with the law as to
residence, improvements and cultivation.
The act of congress approved June 6, 1909, provides that, "Where
an unmarried woman who has heretofore settled, or may hereafter
settle upon a tract of public land, improved, established and main-
tained a bona fide residence thereon, with the intention of appro-
Sriating the same for a home, subject to the homestead law, and
as married, or shall hereafter marry, before making entry of said
land, or before making application to enter said land, she shall
not on account of her marriage forfeit her right to make entry and
receive patent for the land; provided, that she does not abandon
her residence on said land, and is otherwise qualified to make home-
stead entry; provided further, that the man whom she marries is
not, at the time of their marriage, claiming a separate tract of
land under the homestead law. "That this act shall be applicable
to all unpatented lands claimed by such entry-woman at uie date
of passage."
\\l)ere a married woman applies to make a homestead entry under
this act, she must show bv affidavit that prior to her marriage she set-
tled upon the land applied for, improved, established and maintained
a bona fide residence thereon, with the intention of appropriating
the same for a home; that the man she married was not, at tne time
of their marriage, claiming a separate tract of land under the home-
stead law. She should also give the date of her settlement and date
of her marriage, and furnish the regular homestead affidavit show-
ing that she is otherwise qualified to make homestead entry.
15. The first actual settler who makes entr^ within three months
after actual settlement is entitled to land, while the first man who
makes entry may have been last to make settlement, and hence have
the least claim to the land. A pre-emption filing is no bar to a
homestead entry.
16. A settlement does not mean actual residence, but preparation
for it, to be followed up in good faith. The claimant should, in
person, not by agent, start the erection of a new house, or be-
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 461
g^n some other improvement on the land he claims. A homestead
entry does not require prior settlement, but it is safest to make n
settlement, at the earliest date. Unless residence on the land is
established within six months from date of entry, the entry is-
liable to contest for abandonment.
17. Final proof in homestead entries can be made after five years-
from date of entry or of actual residence on the land, and must be
made before the expiration of seven years from date of entry.
The time during the Civil war, if not less than ninety days which,
the homestead settler served in the army, navy or marine corps, shall
be deducted from the time heretofore required to perfect title, or
if discharged on account of wounds received or disability incurred in
the line of duty, then the term of enlistment shall be deducted from^
the time heretofore required to perfect title, without reference to the
length of time he may have served: but no patent shall issue to any
homestead settler who has not resided upon, improved and cultivated
his homestead for a period of at least one year after he shall have
commenced his improvements. Soldiers and sailors who served in the
recent wars are allowed the same privileges under the act of June
16, 1898.
18. The receiver's receipt which the entryman received on making,
entry, and the acceptance and record thereof, should be surrendered,
on making commuted or final homestead proof. In case the receipt
has been lost or destroyed, claimant will be required to make an.
affidavit on the day he submits the proof, setting forth the facts
in regard to the loss of said receipt.
Parties are often put to a great loss and inconvenience by the los»
of register's final certificates (or receiver's receipts), which should al-
ways be carefully preserved.
19. Application to make proof (Govt, blank No. 4-348, home-
stead) , snould be signed by the claimant himself. His four wit-
nesses should, if possible, be near neighbors, fully conversant with the
facts essential to perfect nroof.
20. It is the duty of applicant who makes proof before county
officers to see that each question is filled out with complete answers r
must show that he is a native born citizen of the United States, if
such is the case; and, if not, then certified copy of naturalization
papers will be sufficient; if the entry is by a woman she must state
specifically in the proof whether or not she is married or single;,
applicants should in every case see that the names of witnesses used
in making proof are properly advertised', and that they sign their
names as advertised, and in giving the names to be published they
should ascertain and give their full Christian names, and, if pos-
sible, the four living nearest the land for which proof is to be made.
Much trouble and delay has been occasioned by doubtful or different
spelling of names. Some persons have actually spelled their names
three different ways in making one proof. This makes necessary cor-
respondence and explanatory affidavits, causes delays in receipt of
patents and places suspicion on proof.
21. The proof should, if possible, be taken on the day adver-
tised, or for good and sufficient reasons within ten days therefrom;
before the officer advertised, with the evidence of at least two of the
witnesses advertised; these, together with the duplicate receipt, to-
gether with evidence of citizenship where necessary and affidavit of
publication of proof notice, and the required fees and commissions
should be sealed up and transmitted to the receiver, on the same
day proof is taken. If papers are not complete they arc subject to-
rejection.
22. The land office commissions, payable at the time of making
final homestead proof, are as follows. On land outside certain rail-
road limits:
For 160 acres $4.00
For 120 acres 3.00
For 80 acres 2 . 00
For 40 acres i - 00
462 LEGISLATIVE MANUAL
On land within the railroad limits:
• For 160 acres $8 . 00
For 180 acres 6.00
For 80 acres 4.00
For 40 acres 2.00
The fees for reducing testimony to writing in making final proof
arc 15 cents for eac* 100 words, which in each case amount to about
^2.00, sometimes $2.50, which must be transmitted with the
hnal proof commissions. In the Pacific states and Rocky mountain
regions the charges are one-half higher.
23. All applicants for land should see that their applications are
made out for the exact plat record numbers of land desired to be en-
tered, which must lie and form a compact body. If for an adjoin-
ing farm, the land owned and resided on must form a compact body
with the public land; and the two together must not exceed 160 acres.
In the transmittal of all fees and commissioners on entries, proofs*
etc., by outside parties to the local land offices, to accompany entry
papers, proofs, etc., it is necessary to send either actual currency
or post office money orders, as the land office officials are forbidden

money in the treasury not .otherwise appropriated.

lic land law have been covered into the treasury of the United States
under any application to make any filing, location, selection, entry or
proof, such purchase moneys and commissions will be repaid to the
person who made such application, entry, or proof, or to his legal
representatives, in all cases where such application, entry, or jjroof
has been or shall hereafter be rejected, and neither such applicant
nor his legal representatives shall have been guilty of any fraud or at-
tempted fraud in connection with such application.

sued, the duplicate receipt must be surrendered. Tlie applicant must

receiver of the district land office, or before a notary public or a
justice of the peace, or other officer authorized to administer oaths.

tificate of official character is required.
