A Curious Coincidence.

Almost quarter of century ago
the big bark King Philip was driven
ashore in a storm at Ocean Beach, near
the Cliff House, at San Francisco, and
beached far above the waves by an IN
usually high tide She had sailed from
her last port on Friday, the sailors
hoodoo day, and had been completely
wrecked on a Friday. More than twea-
ty-five years later the schooner Re-
porter, plying between the same ports
as the King Philip had been doing, aud
also engaged in the lumber trade, sail
ed from her last port on a Friday and
was completely wrecked on March -
not far from where the remains of the
King Philip lay on Ocean Beach. For
weeks she lay with a broken back in
the combing breakers. Then, one night
she mysteriously rose on some mighty
swell, and came in and settled precise
ly within the ribs of the King Philip
bow within bow, and stern within
stern, as nicely as though men ant
machinery had placed her there within
, the wonderful coffin.

remarked the old waterfronter, "and
what I say you'll find to be correct. l
regret the falling off Of the number
of sailing vessels here through the in
roads cut into the freight business
by steamers, because of the large mon
etary loss resulting to the port. The
crews of steamers spend very little
here, but those OF the windjammers
spend anything and everything due
them while in port.
"The steamer men are only here a
few hours. They buy few drinks and
package Of tobacco, and that's the
end of it; but the man from the white
wings-he leaves lots of money here.
The people may not realize the amount
left here by deep sea sailors, but can
assure you that no mean amount of
money used to be and still is placed
in circulation by them in Hawaii.
1.-THE bark Amy Turner will leave
81, 500 in Honolulu this trip. Her sail
ors get paid here. She spends some
time on the Marine Railway, and all
of this money remains in the town.
The little barkentine Newsboy was
here only a few days discharging coal

for couple of weeks or so. The cap

$40 to $50 each while in port, and they

REPAIRS COST
$4,000 HERE
To Reflt Dismasssd An0romeda
in Honolulu Would be
Expansive.

According to the survey made of the
dismasted Norwegian bark Andromeda,
it will cost the owners of the vessel
about $4,000 to have her repaired in
this port Repairs sufficient to enable
the vessel to reach San Francisco, and
there be entirely reftted, can be made
for about $1,000 these estimates have
been forwarded to her owners in Nor
way, and the vessel now lies moored
in The Row, awaiting directions from
them.
The work of the surveyors who made
the estimates was interesting. In the
first place, they had to get every pos
sible measurement of the vessel, and
from these figure out all dimensions
and qualities of things required. The
length of every rope, bolt, thickness
of ropes, length of spars, masts, ETC.
all these things had to be learned,
and then the cost of each article in
must the cost of supplying the articles
be set down for Honolulu, but also for
the coast. A vessel can be repaired
cheaper on the Coast than in Honolulu,
and the work can be done there cheap
er and in much cheaper time
The hull of the Andromeda is an
English iron hull and, although al
ready forty years old, it is good for
! thirty years longer service. Had the
hull been of American iron make it
would have. been good for a hundred
years service, if properly cleaned and
cared for, as ship owners the world
over now declare that Uncle Sam s
| iron vessels are far superior to those
built by British ship builders.
The repairing of the Andromeda by
her owners depends in large measure
on the demand for iron sailing ships
in Norway at the present time. If iron
vessels are cheap there, it is not i'm,
probable that the hull of the vesse
will be sold here, and if the owner:
wish to replace her they can buy
new iron vessel cheap enough so i
would be more advantageous to sell
the Andromeda here.
The Andromeda will probably remain
in Honolulu for some time, as it will
require nearly three months time 70

the words as proven by past and

Columbia's grandest of self-made

1.-THE wild, unbroken country of the
sixties has been transformed into cul-
tivated fields Of golden grain. In
place of the vast lonesomeness of
boundless prairie, over which the In
dian brave roamed in undisputed
sway, we see farms and stock
ranches whose barns and pastures are
teeming with the results of thrift and
enterprise. The pillow turns a soil as
rich and kindly in the abundance of
it's productiveness as God ever gave
to man, and the sleek cattle thrive on
the luxuriant pasturage that once was
waving prairie.
Towns and cities replace the In
dian village; the workman has SUI
perseded the brave, and the scout is
no longer needed to steer the way OF
the weary traveller"

example of what a little capital and
a whole lot of push and foresight, or
rather we might say faith in the
country, will, do, we would cite our
readers to w. B.. Parker, of Richburg,
who come to the county in 1899 with
money and property valued at 81, 900
total. Beside a half interest in a
large crop last year Mr.. Parker
capped the climax this year. He was
given by Winter & Ames at Souris
last Friday a single check for $500

not represent all of his flax crop as
he had sold a few loads before and he
saved 800 bushels for seed. That was

ceiyed by any farmer this year for hi
crop. But this does not represent all

North Dakota's beautiful weather

Warren of the LaMoure Chronicle to

to sing a song of praise to North Da-
kota weather? Was there ever such?
The January days glide by, each one
seeming more perfect than it's prede-

ton of one brief "cold snap this has
been the Ease all winter. North Da-

THE SCHOOLS

ADVANTAGES OF RESIDENTS OF
BISMARCK AND VICINITY OVER
OTHER SCHOOLS OF THE STATE
The founders of the state provided
literally for the education of the
youth. There is a complete system of
common schools from which pupils
pass to the high schools and from
these they pass on to the state unlver-
sity, agricultural college and normal
schools. The newer states have bene-
fitted by the mistake of the older states
in not ar%ticulating more closely the
ommon and high schools with the
higher institutions of learning. Bis
marck has a high school of the first
class from which pupils are admitted
not only to all the institutions of North
Dakota without examination, but
they have been admitted or their di-
ploma to Carleton college, Minnesota,
and to the state university of Mime
sofa. One pupil recently passed sue
cessfully the entrance examinations
for Harvard college. The school has
a fine laboratory outfit for teaching
physics and botany. There is a good
working library for the classes in his
tory and literature. In the grades
an abundant supply of supplementary
reading of all kinds is furnished. In
fact everything that is needed to make
a good school is provided. The teach
ers in the high school are all college
graduates and those in the grades ar.
normal graduates Or have had normal
training. Nearly all the teachers are
from states further east and have had
excellent preparation for their work
Supt. VIM. Moore is a graduate OF
Dartsmouth college, New Hampshire
and has had a long experience in SUI
pervising schools. The high school
teachers are all graduates of col
leges, of recognized rank.
Under a state law an appropriation
is made each year to the high school
of the state, on condition that they
admit non-residents from the rural
districts to the high schools without
paying tuition. In Bismarck's high
school there are eighty pupils, and OF

ness and generosity that has led to
such magnificent endowment of the

of st. Paul, has offered a prize of $500
for the best twenty acres of corr raised
in 1902 in Dickey county. Emmons
county took a first prize on corn at the
Pan-American exposition. The power
to grow a good crop Of corn adds
more than one dollar an acre to the
level of western farm values Once
North Dakota has developed a variety
of corr we'll suited to it's climate, and a
reputation for growing a good crop
regularly, North Dakota farm land
values will have an added solidity and
a still further appreciation.

MISSOURI RIVER STEAMERS.

MISSOURI RIVER STEAMERS.
A fleet of six to. ten steamboats, ply
the waters Of the Missouri river dur
iEg the summer season, affording
cheap and convenient ear of trans
p%ortation to settlers living along the
Missouri river, and the towns that
Lave been established up and down
the Missouri river. Fort Yates, Fort
Berthold, Standing Rock agency, and
various settlements are served with
river freight from Bismarck as a cen
ter. The steamboat business is also
made use of in connection with rail-
reads as a meal of transportation,
and thousands of bushels of grain are
brought from the west side of the
Missouri river to be placed in eleva-
tors and shipped to market by rail.
North Dakota has been both wise
and fortunate in it's sales Of school
lands, says the Minneapolis Journal.
The wisdom has consisted in the con
stitutional minimum price of $40 an
acre and in holding most of the land
for high prices. There were nc sales
of North Dakota school lands between
1893 and 1901. In 1891, 1892, and 1898
the state sold 10000 acres of Red
Rived valley lands at an average price
of $3.50 an acre. Last fall. 10000
acres were sold. some of the land bring
ing $3O.75 an acre, and large quantities
going at from SIS to $25. These land
sales have already yielded the state
Sc. 73O, 900. and not o~ne-eleventh of the
states original holdings have yet been
disposed of. The North Dakotans as

money without delay. The loan is to
be paid back out of a sinking fund, as
fast as accumulated, and the articles
of agreement provide that five cents
for every 100 pounds of milk delivered
shall be retained to form the sinking
fund. This five cents is not felt by
the patrons for they will realize more
fer their milk or butter fat than they
car by making it into butter them
selves and the creamery will be grad
ually paying for itself. In most cases
it takes two years, or thereabouts, to
