Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1895-03-29

The power of townships to acquire lands
ls provided in House Bill No. 100 C"An
act to provide a Code of Civil Procedure
for the State of North Dakota'), signed
March 81. The constitutional provis-
ions Of this bill not becoming operative
before House Bill No. 100 will be opera
tive, and on account of it's conflicting
provisions, [ therefore file the same with.
out my approval.
House Bill No. 1873, entitled Gan act to
amend Sections l22 and l61, of Chapter
81, Laws of 1890" was filed in the execu-
tive office March 9Th. The chief provis
ion OF this bill is in section 122 following
the first proviso, requiring permits to be
issued to persons under the age of 10. I
believe this to be ar unWise provision, as
it would not be to the best interests
either to the common schools of the
state or to the profession. Senate Bill
No. q, signed March 18th, contains pro.
visions almost identical with the remain
ing provisions of section l22. I there
fore file the same without my approval.
Senate Bill No. 10, being "An act en-.
titled an act to amend Section l, Chapter
25, of. the General Laws of 1881, being
Section 1888 of the Compiled Laws"
was filled in the executive office March
1th. The provisions of this act being
substantially the same as those of Senate
Bill No. IS (the civil code), signed Feb
ruarv 24th, and containing no provision
that would become operative before
Senate Bill No. IS becomes operative, I
therefore file the same without my ap-
prevail.
Senate Bill No. LA, entitled "An act
to amend Section 81 of Chapter 81 of the
Laws of 1890, state of North Dakota, as
amended by. Section 8, Chapter Sc of the
Laws Of 1891, state of North Dakota"
was filed IN the executive office on
March 7th. The chief objection to this
bill is to be found in the latter part of
the section. Should it conform to the
wishes of persons desiring to escape
further taxation for the support of a
school which they have been instru-
mental in establishing, the bill, if al
lowed to become q law, would afford
them a method of division, the time and
manner OF which to suit their own con-
v%enience. Under the existing laws, suit
able provisions are made for changing
the boundaries of school districts, which,
while they may be defective, are to me
more suitable than the proposed law.
On the grounds that adequate provisions
exist for the formation of new districts,
and that this bill is not equitable in it's
provisions, l file the same without my
approval. ROGER ALL1N, Governor.
Plenty of Timber.
1t is not generally understood that
North Dakota has fifty different kinds of
native trees growing within it's borders,
and yet such is the fact, according to
the North Dakota Farmer. The state is
generally regarded by the people in the
east as a timber waste, and yet a person
can rarely travel ten miles either north,
east vest or south without going through
timber. Not only the Red river and the
smaller streams of the state skirted with
trees on both sides for nearly their entire
length, but there are large bodies of
timber in the Turtle Mountain country,
on Devils Lake and in the Pembina
Mountain district; and again the artifc-
ial forests, the claims which are scattered
over the settled portions of the state, are
becoming of considerable Importance.
It is estimated that there are 100000
acres of natural forest and 26,242 of cul.
tivated trees.

Raymond Has Confidence.
"North Dakota will come out all right,
even If the people who have run the state
up to a late date have always managed
to do the thing which hurts the state in
the east" says FIX State Treasurer J. w.
Rayme nd in the Minneapolis Times.
"The climate of the state is splendid, and
no state i'll the union has a larger pro-
portion of good, tillable land. There
seems to be a sort of general impression
that the people of North Dakota are in a
very hard way. [ do not know of a new
country where the people as a whole are,
or have been in a better condition than
they are in North Dakota. I am speak
ing especially of the farming classes. l
went to Dakota before it became a terri
tory, when there were but 14,O0O people
IN the whole territory. Now there are
over 100000 IN both Dakotas. North
Dakota has a fine high school system. 1t
was taken largely from the systems of
Minnesota and Michigan.
