Now is time when every citizen
should direct his efforts and bend his en-
ergies to the upbuilding and advance
ment of the community in which he lives.
chickering's and petty iealousies should
be entirely lost sight OF in the grander
movement towards better material cor
ditlons. Be loyal to the town, to its in
dustries, its merchants, professional men,
mechanics and laboring men. Help, to
the extent OF your ability, in encouraging
the growth and prosperity Of the COM
munity and its citizens, which includes
yourself, and aid by voice and means ev-
cry rational undertaking inaugurated for
the common good. The above from the
Fort Collins Courier has our hearty en-
dorsemcnt and We commend its good ad-
vice to our readers generally.
The directors of the Arkansas Valley
Fair Association will meet ut the office OF
Secretary Hall next Saturday, April Is.
Plans will be laid for active operations
in aid OF tho Fair for 1896, which will in
clude consideration Of the annual premi-
um list. We bespeak for tho manage
ment of the Fair the hearty cooperation
OF our farmers md stockmer. The Fairs
at Rocky Ford have done much to ad-
vertise the advantages OF the valley and
for this valuable work deserve the good
will and cordial support OF every farmer
and business man. Always needing the
active assistance OF every citizen. such
aid is now more necessary than ever be-
fore, as the outlook is that Rocky Ford
is not to have that same monopoly OF the
Fair business which it has enjoyed in tho
past. AS other localities will have at
fractions in this line our farmers will see
the necessity Of giving the Fair not only
the good words but their active exertions
in the way OF making the exhibition as
large and fine as possible. With the
hoped for good crop season Of 1896, the
Fair OF Sept ., and can be made by
far the best ever held. The tide OF east
ern immigration is setting this way,
much OF which has been won by the dis
plays made nt our Fairs. Let the annu-
al exhibitions of our farms, orchards and
gardens continue to keep pace with the
development Ct the country and they
will add new impetus to the growth OF
the valley. AS soon as the plans Of the
management for the Fair Of 1896 shall be
made known we hope to hear a unani.

Swink. nor the Beatys, nor the Potters,
nor even Joe Graham ever saw such a
continuous blizzard MS visited the valley
last Saturday and Sunday. Commenc-
ing Saturday night the wind blew gale
for twenty-four hours without break.
1t was accompanied by rain and snow
and travel was almost impossible. Dur
ing Sunday it seemed as if the fruit
would all be killed that night, but Mon
day morning the sun rose warm and
bright and horticulturists report the
fruit is uninjured except where the wind
whipped off some blossoms. The pros
pect for peach crop is the best the val
ley ever enjoyed and all other fruits will
be abundant.

HULL OF THE NARONIC.

Believed the One Sighted by the Storm
King Was the Lost Freighter.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Steamship men
are puzzling their brains in an endeavor
to establish the identity of hull which
the English steamer Storm King sighted
at sea, bottom up, apparently of q
steamer Of about 1000 tons. The only
vessel Of that immense size that has
been lost in the North Atlantic within
the last four years was the Naronic, of
the White Star line freight service,
which left Liverpool February II, 1898,
and was never afterwards heard from,
except through a lifeboat that was
picked up and taken to Brazil. There
is no positive information that the hulk
seen by the Storm King is that of the
Naronic, but some shipping men are in.
clined to think it is that of the missing
craft.

emptory writ of mandamus has been
issued by Judge Corliss of the supreme
court. to @. M. Dahl, as secretary Of

why the voters p the state should not
have an opportunity to vote ON the
question of another constitutional con.
vention. This in relation to the certify.
ing of the matter on the official ballot

press themselves OIL the question. The

guage did not direct him to certify the
matter for a vote, and decided not to do
so. J. B. Wineman of Grand Forks,

writ Of mandamus and it was issued.

Teachers Can BE Discharged

ST. PAUL, Sept 24.-Attorney General
Childs has transmitted an opinion to
superintendent of Public Instruction
Pendergast, holding that school trustees
have the power to discharge teachers
for cause. The law gives the power to
revoke certificates to the county super
intendent. and the question was, if the
board could discharge the teacher if the
superintendent failed to act. The attor
ney general holds that boards have the
power. but they should first be very
certain that the cause in fact exists.
