Arranging for the Fourth.

Pursuant to call the committee on ar
rangements for Fourth of July celebration
met yesterday afternoon at the Office of
Chairman Bentley. A general plan of Gel
ebration was decided upon and the chair
man authorized to notify the chairman Of
the finance committee the amount of
funds necessary to be raised to defray the
expenses. 1t is hoped the citizens will not
underestimate the Importance of this mat
ter. Arrangements have been made for
low rates of fare from all points east and
west, and with horse races, bicycle, foot,
wheelbarrow and sack races, fire works
and grand ball in the evening there is no
reason why the city should not attract all
the patriotic citizens for q hundred miles
in every direction on that day. The COM
mittee should act promptly and be met
with substantial encouragement by the
citizens. The following named gentlemen
have been added to the committee on ar
rangements: Val. Schreck, j. H. Marshall,
VIM. Bannon, Thomas Flavin, j. G. Sanders,
Frank Kihm, A. Logan, VIM. Falconer, NJ.

Increased River. Business.

The Benton River Press in speaking of
the arrival of the steamer Bachelor says:
"The Benton line is now operating six
steamers above and below Bismarck, haul
ing government and private freight and
expects to do heavy seasons business.
The business of the Missouri river valley
is increasing rapidly. Railroads cross the
river at Bismarck and some places below,
and also touch it at Buford and several
other points above, but they cannot reach
The opening Of the reservation will settle
the Missouri valley rapidly on both sides,
as we'll as all its tributary streams. Little
towns and communities will spring up all
along the river, and as the country becomes
settled the river business will increase. 1t
will be many years before the railroads
can hope to reach all river points and ef-
fectually compete with the river"

A Complicated Situation.

The Bismarck Bureau" of the Mime
apolis Tribune contains the following ref
erence to the.county superintendeucy ques.
ton:
We are considerably stirred up over the
coming election OF county superintendent
of schools of Burleigh county. This week
has added two fair and formidable candi-
dates to the list, Mrs. p: II. Wilson and
Miss Edith $: Hillyer, either name being
enough to chill the hopes Of Mr.. Winches-
ter, who is himself looking for reelection.
". G. T. U. and local prohibition, pillar
those bright, ambitious and altogether in
tellectual matrons who would fill the posi-
ton with credit to herself and her con-
stituency. Miss Hillyer, graduate of ST.
Mary's college, Faribault, represents the
refined type of our young society, young,
pretty and we'll educated, with the ad-
vantages of travel, originality of character
and host of friends, she will make
brilliant campaign. But when we once
get settled as to our choice, we are still in
deep water. Territorial Superintendent
Dye interprets the law. to exclude the
votes of cities, though the candidates
themselves may be from the city excluded.
Now some of the good Blsmarckers have
read the law little differently, and have
expressed themselves as voters, and voters
who intend to vote at the election of
county superintendent. This, if carried
out, may cOmplicate matters, not only to
the extent of defeating the lady candi-
dates, but cheating us out of any sort of
superintendent, even man.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1888-06-08
Shall the City Vote /?

The question now agitating the minds of
the people is the forthcoming election for
superintendent of schools. Bismarck is an
independent school district and the new
law provides only for an election in the
sub-districts. All agree that the city ought
to vote but there is difference of opinion
as to the policy of so doing. At meeting
OF the school board Monday the matter
was thoroughly discussed There were
present Messrs. Little, Hooper, Griffin,
Bogue. Yegen and Wallace. Owing to the
absence of Secretary Leavenworth, Mr..
Hooper was made secretary pro tenn.
A resolution was passed appropriating
S6O, or SO much thereof as is necessary, to
defray the expenses attending the closing
and commencement exercises of the public
schools which occur this week.
the resolution that the Bismarck dis
trlct should vote for county superintendent
OF schools on the 10Th inst. and that a
on Tie vote to lay upon the table, laid
over until the special meeting this evening
for further consideration.
A resolution was offered calling upon
the president and secretary of the old board
to meet with the new board this evening
ana present the annual report required of
them by law.
In the discussion on the county super
intendency one side contested that mas
much as the city paid one-half the taxes
and contained one-half the population the
citizens should have the right to vote for
every county officer. The other side did
not question the justice of this claim but
argued that the school board should be free
from entangling political alliances and as
the law gave the board no authority to call
such an election and as the attorney gen.
that the Independent district had no vote,
such an election, if held, should not be
called by the board but by mass meeting
of citizens.

Some Crop Notes.

Farmers johnson, Bonsfield and Berry of
Tappen, were in the land Office Saturday
making final proofs on their homesteads
They report crops in fine shape in Kidder
county, and prospects as good as in 1882
when everything grew beyond expecta-.
ton. The Troy farm has 1000 acres in
crop this season. Corn is favOrite this
year.
Farmers in from Glenullen say potatoes
have been planted by the acre on every
farm. There will be great stock of
Murphys in that live district,
Mr.. Standring found the crops in Nc
Lean county looking well, and all the
plowed ground in the northern portion in
crop. In some parts of the county there
are fields that are not put in.
Louis Westhauser, from the Burnt Creek
region, says the crops are looking fine
1t has been so cool that wheat has not
grown much in height, but it is stooling
nicely. "Never," he says, twas the ground
in such good condition as this spring. The
ground was thoroughly moist, and when
ever the sun comes out hot in the middle
of the day now the moisture is drawn up
to the roots of the grain. We can get
along without rain for some time yet if
the cool weather continues. 1t is bad for
corn and vegetables, however, and l would
like to see a hard rain followed by warm
weather. ! tell you everything would
fairly shoot up under these conditions"
Farmer Rice of Coal HarbOr brings the
same encouraging report from Mclean
county. They have had plenty of rain up
there, and although he is an old resident
of Burleigh county, he now declares that
the soil is just little better in Mclean
than in Burleigh, and the crops are more
advanced. There is full acreage sown.
Sylvanius Prior, from six miles south
east, says it is getting dry in his neighbor-
hood, but the grain will not suffer for q
few days yet.
Ferd. Selle, from the north, says his
grain never looked better at this time of
the year-good color and good stool. He
says tits dry for garden stuff and good rain
within the next few days would be warm
ly appreciated.
S. G. Smith of Menoken says it is getting
dry in that section and rain must be had
within the next ten days. 1t has been so
cold: however, that grain has not suffered
much, notwithstanding the unprecedented
dry weather in May. If plenty of rains
fall this month, the Menoken farmers will
be happy.

An Idea.

Aberdeen News: The financial embar-
rassment of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
road brings more forcibly to mind an idea
which the News conceived Immediately
after the consolidation of the Aberdeen,
Bismarck & Northwestern and the Mime
apoljs & Pacific with the $500" system.
This idea is that the latter will eventually
own the Minneapolis & st. Louis line to
Watertown and that it will build from
Bismarck road, a continuous line from
Minneapolis to Bismarck, via Watertown
and Aberdeen. ~

other things shown, it appears that $1,000
car loads of freight are now annually
would get large share of this in addition
to the local business which would at once
spring up along the fertile country which
the road would traverse. In addition to
the present freight handled for the Hills,
with competing lines it would soon be
many times its present volume, and the
good chance of obtaining its full share.
