With every advance of emigration in

Newly peopled regions are frequently
less salubrious than older settled lOcali-

raises from recently cleared land, psr-

are subject to freshets. The agricul-

ton against malaria, and those disor-

n. n. Hall, of Emerson, Manitoba, is
among the guests at the Dacotah. Emer-
son is just across the boundary line from
Pembina city. During the Winnipeg
"boom" the town was city of several
thousand population, but with the "on-
ward march" of civilization ''it has dwind-
led down to very few hundred" Only
two or three business houses are all that
remain, and their trade is said to be very
limited. Among the monuments of its de-
parted glory are an iron bridge across the
river, costing 100000, and numerous ele-
CANT buildings which we're too large to be
taken down and moved away as the hun
dreds of the smaller ones were. Among
the business blocks now vacant is one
solid brick block. three stories high, oc-
cupying half square, and containing
eleven large stores. The city government
become bankrupt several years ago, and
the provincial government is now in

The $a5,0OO appropriation for the agri-
cultural college at Fargo was the first bill
passed and signed by Gov. Burke. The
agricultural college is all right, but the
legislature would better go slow about ap-
preparations for any more new institu-
ti0ns. Strong efforts will he made to pro-
vide for those located at Valley City, May
vile, Wahpeton and Glendale, which the
members should consider with regard to
the state finances. The moment the con-
stitutional convention committed the
blunder of parceling out these institutions
Il was perfectly clear that there would be
no rest had till the log-rolling combina-
tions had succeeded in providing for all of
them-most of which will not be needed
by the state for years and for which the
state is at present unable to pay. The
members will have to exercise their firm
ness in this matter.-G Grand Forks Herald.
Nov, the above is virtual knowledg-
mont that the state is very hard up fnan-
cially, yet the Herald is perfectly willing
to take $25, 900 or $4,000 out of the state
treasury for the purpose of advertising the
Red river valley. There is certainly not
much consistency in the Herald.

Bismarck Tribune: The subject of
prairie fires is one that should receive con-
sideration at the hands of this legislature.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars worth Of
property is destroyed every year in North
Dakota by prairie fires, large percentage
of which could be averted by precaution-
ary measures. There must be some con-
oert Of action, some prescribed mode of
dealing with this curse. As it is now,
many settlers stand in their doorways
Watching, the fires approach them, being
individually unable to arrest its course. II
half the money now expended on road
work was diverted to the ploughing Of
hre-breaks, much more good would come
to the community. Suggestions regarding
this important question should be sent to
members Of the legislature at once.

present situation with two or three pig
headed mullets in Mclean county. When
economy and honesty are the impelling

At last the long and bitter controversy
between j. l.. Cotton and the Great North
ern seems in fair way to reach an AMIGA
BILE settlement. On Tuesday last Railroad
Commissioners Walsh, Slotten and Har-
mon arrived in the city, accompanied by
representative of the Great Northern,
and proceeded to Mr.. Colton's coal mines
to investigate the matter of putting in q
siding to the mines. The Commissioners
left on Wednesday and from the favorable
view taken by them in the matter, it is ex-
pected that siding will be put in. It is
also hoped that the railroad company will
conclude to give Mr.. Cotton rates ON his
coal which will enable him to supply the
demand constantly coming in from all
portions of the state. Il will be. Justice to
Mr.. Cotton to do this. For years he has
labored zealously to introduce his coal to
the people of North Dakota-and that too
under exorbitant, crushing freight rates
and today the demand for his coal is enor-
mouse-and through his indefatigible eff
forts Ward county possesses the best de-
veloped coal mines within the confines of
the state, and capable of supplying the
people of the whole Northwest with cheap
fuel for generations to come. Let the
railroad company do Justice to the people
of North Dakota and give Mr.. Cotton rates
which will enable him to supply all Sec
tions of the state with coal in competition
with eastern coal.-Minot Journal

It is the intention of the board of the
Washburn school district to have the
Washburn school commence four months
term on Monday, February I'd, with Miss
Jenette Ward teacher. The board has de-
clded to charge tuition fee of 81 per
month for pupils whose parents reside
outside of the district, said fee to be paid
i'll advance. The practice of sending pu-
pills into the district and placing them
with families to chore for their board, and
then counting them as resident pupils, will
hereafter be ignored. If the tuition of
such pupils is not paid in advance they
will not be received into the school.

Bismarck Tribune: The Tribune, dur.
ing legislative session, is apt to overlook
. great many important local events and
fail to pay that attention to home affairs
that their Importance demand. The re.
cord of the county board for 1890 has gone
into history, and comparison with that Of
1889 certainly rebounds to the credit Of
the latter. The total expenditures during
1859 under the Healy- Ecklund admins
tFation-was $89, ,752.4s. Last year, 1890
under the Edgerly -Moorhouse-J Johnson
reyime-the total expenditures were but
$21 ,O85.85- saving to the taxpayers OF
$l8,7l7.l8. That is the record of the go.
called "rump" board. Think of it-a saw
ing of nearly one-half. And the end is not
yet. The new board--Messrs. Moorhouse,
Cshan and Johnson--will continue on the
same economic line. a.

A Fraud on the school Boards.

A Fraud on the School Boards.
For the benefit of the several school
boards in Mclean county (unless the
boards have specially ordered the same,
and their minutes must 80 show it), the
LEADER will say that they are not respon-
sible for the payment of any bill for the
publication in newspaper of the treasur-
ers' reports. If bill of SIS, or for any
other sum, as charge for such publica-
tion, is presented to you, throw it out
disallow it-and let the newspaper man
collect his bill from the individual who Or
dered such publication in his paper. No
bill of that kind can be collected by law,
and you have no right to rob your school
children in that way.
We will say further, that even if the law
required such publication in a newspa-
per the board would have the right to des-
ignate the paper to print it, and they
would have to pay only legal rates for the
same, which is IS cents per folio for one
insertion. The report of the Washburn
school township, as published last week,
with all its leads and padding-stretched
out to occupy us much space as possible
makes only nine (9) folios. which would
figure up s6.7o at legal rates, but we un-
derstaEd that SIS is charged. The whole
thing is fraud Oh the school townships,
and it looks now as though Rev. Geo. E.
Brownell, county superintendent, was in
collusion with the Mail to filch funds from
the several school treasures, to which they
have neither moral nor legal right.
