The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1903-11-14

A sensible observation ie made by
the Emmons county Record, which
Says
Supt. Coventry says that at least
a score of schools in Emmons coun-
ty are wanting teachers. Perhaps
if the people of the districts that
are minus teachers will tack a S.
or SO on the salary offered, they
can get what they want. The days
Of starvation wages for teachers are
played out in this state, as they
ought to be. The new examina-
tion law has settled that question.
Those who teach school now must
be competent, and being competent
they deserve good wages. There
was a time when some of the dis
tricts in North Dakota did not pay
as much (deducting board and laun-
dry) as uneducated girls working
in hotels and boarding houses could
earn. One who serves an appren-
ticeship in school preparing to teach
is as much entitled to an advance
over the wages of the day laborer
who has not lost years as an ap-
prentice.

This state should deal more Sc.
verely with che holdup artists who
constantly bring DISGRACE upon
the state. A perusal of the state
papers for the last two months will
show that in almost every week
some outlaw attempts to take the
property Of another, and to accom-
plish this purpose often takes life
The papers of the state publish
those things as a matter of news.
and the people outside of the state
not familiar with the facts, get the
impression that North Dakota is a
land of highway robbers and, mid
night assassins. They do not know
that every one of these crimes is
committed by the hobos who come
into the state during the summer
season to procure a few weeks work
during the harvest and threshing
time at extraordinary wages, and
then add to this income such funds
as they can take by force from
their fellow men. For several years
yet, the Northwest must suffer from
this trouble, as there is no other
labor available for the summer
farm rush. Butwhere these people
become highwaymen, the severest
penalty should be inflicted, and
they should be made to know that
the business is dangerous. Those
.crimes stopped North Dakota would
have a record for the absence of a
serious crime that would compare
favorable with any state in the un-
ion. But the people outside the
state must be made to know that
these crimes are not committed by
citizens Of the state, else the result
would be disastrous to the settle
mont Of the state. Inter- Ocean.

property, the neighbours property
is injured by such animals SO per-
mitted to be at large.
"The encroachment of such ami
mails upon another's land during
these months is not such a trespass
as will sustain an action for dam
ages. The proviso in section 6l53
cannot be effective and section l549
cannot be operative, and animals
permitted to run at large during
the winter months, if grain and
hay can be exposed in the open
without guard or protection, to at
tract animals and create litigation.
The owner of annual crops must
take notice of the law, and adopt
reasonable precautions to guard
from destruction such perishable
property while stock is at large.
The general law imposes on the
land owner no obligation to fence,
but when land is left uninclosed
the owner takes the risk of trespass
thereon by the animals of others
running at large, and can maintain
no action on such trespass. >" $

REASIBE IRRIGATION.
Advantages to Be Derived by
Assisting of Nature In
Applying Moisture.

Maj. A. w. Thomas of Ft. Ber-
thold, has been studying the ques-
tion of irrigation and Says
'While the question of irrigation
is attracting the attention. of the
people of the state, it may not be
out of place to briefly call atten-
tion to the benefits to be derived
by irrigation on that part of the
domain known as the Ft. Berthold
Indian Reservation. The Reser-
walton, lying as it does on both
sides of the Missouri river, con-
tains about 975,OO0 acres of land,
$1,000 acres of which lying mostly
along the river. has been allotted in
severalty to the Indians, men,
women and children living on the
reservation.
There are a few small streams
running through these lands, the
waters of which may be used by
building dams and creating reser-
voirs, in irrigating a limited amount
of these lands. Then there are on
either side of the river, first bot
tom lands, which may be and will
before many years, be irrigated by
water pumped from the Missouri
river. This is a work which will
call for large supply of money in
the installation of the pumping
stations, construction of bitches,
water gates, etc., to begin with.
Themany thousands of acres which
may be made productive by this
method alone, would not only sus-
tain the works after they were in
stalled, but would soon pay good
interest on the capital required for
the installation of the plant.
''The question of fuel for the pro-
posed pumping plants has been set
tied by nature for a thousand years,
with transportation thrown IN.
II may say that most of these
bottom lands have been allotted to
Indians, but today twenty five per
cent of the al]otees are deceased,
and the lands they owned may be
sold to the highest bidder, and the
purchaser obtain a perfect title to
the lands. In another ten years
the half of these landsNsnay we'll
pass into the hands of the white
people.
"These Indians are the wards of
f., the national government and citi-
zens of the state as well; their chill
dren from 6 to 18 years Of age are
being educated in schools supported
by the nation.
"The people of the state are not
standing still, nor are the Indians
of the Ft. Berthold Reservation;
they are today as peaceable, quiet
and law abiding people as the state
contains. and are rapidly learning
to live by the labor Of their own
hands.
"It is said tha: the stockmen are
being crowded out;;' it is doubtless
true that the man who requires 40
acres of grass to fatten one steer
must go or change his methods,
but he will quickly be succeeded
by another who will Craze ten head
of cattle on the forty acres, to be
fed and fattened for market with
feed grown upon the irrigated lands
adjoining.
In the next twenty years, by
thorough system of development
of our vast coal fields. the Missouri
Slope will have more miles Of rail-
road, more wealth and more taxes
than all the rest of state of North
Dakota"

serve Their 5oth Anniversary.

At three O'Clock on Monday after
noon, October 5, 1908, there assembled
at the family residence, which has
been their home for nearly half a
century, about seventy-five of the
neighbors and friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edmund Wright, to celebrate the fif-
tieth anniversary of their wedding
day. The house was ~tastefully deco
rated with roses, asters, smilax and
ferns. The bride was becomingly at
tired in a beautiful costume OF black
silk. and. as many Of their friends
expressed il, the bride and groom
looked more like the elder brother
and sister than the parents Of the
two daughters and five sons who COM
pose their family, all of whom were
present except Charles, who was UNI

A great number of handsome and
costly gifts were presented, almost
all of which bore some reference To
the golden anniversary. At 5 o'clock
a lOuntiful feast was served under the
direction of Mrs. Rocker. and the
wedding loaf, which was cut by the

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

China silk waists with broad bands
of cluny or yokes of valenciennes are
immensely popular.
Probably most women will be glad to
learn that dropping effects will not go
out with the coming season.
For wear with pongee gowns pongee
colored hosiery is offered. Pongee col
ored silk stockings are extremely
smart.
Jet fringes, jet collars and jetted
trimmings of all sorts have increasing
prestige, but chiefly in connection with
sheer fabrics.
Ruchings are ubiquitous on the sheer
summer frocks, and by their aid one Of
the charming thin materials may be
made up with practically no other
trimming and at slight expense.
A smart outing hat is one Of the
three cornered white felts trimmed
with a fold Of white silk and with a
military pompon in white on n side.
The coming form of the Louis XVI.
roat for street costumes requires a skirt
that is nodded to the hips, yet full and
free at the bottom, and loose three
quarter garments will also necessitate
a great deal Of fullness in the lower
part of the skirt.
