PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The public school is a public ne
cessity and the number Of new
school districts that are being or
ganized goes to show that the new
settlers are awake to the interests
Of Young America, and propose that
their children shall have educa-
tional facilities. There is no state
in the union whose common school
fund is SO richly endowed as North
Dakota. In twenty years hence it
is estimated that the interest and
income from the permanent public
school fund will equal the running
expenses Of the common schools Of
state. The following tables show
the progress Of the public school
system in Mclean county,

good farming land, and some,
of which, on account of being roll
ing is more suited for stock rails
ing and mixed farming.
A good many of the entrymen
fail to comply with the require.
ments of the homestead laws and
as a consequence their entries are
contested. During the past year
there has been 1,2l3 contests filed
in the Bismarck Land Office This
number equals one-third Of all the
contests ever filed in the district
and the district has been estab-
lished for more than twenty years.
REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
The register of deeds office Of
Mclean county has been a busy
place during the past year--the re-
ceipts of the Office running up as
high as $4,000 per month. There
has heen 1852 instruments record
ed transferring land, and the num-
Der OF acres of land that has
changed hands is 191, 635. This
does not include lands sold on con-
tract. A great deal of land changes
hands by contract and as a rule
they are not placed Of record-the
Washburn peop'e alone selling
2o,ooO acres during the past year.
GENERAL INCREASE.
All along the line in all depart
ments there have been substantial
increases that 60 to show that every
thing is keeping pace with the for
ward march of progress. The
Washburn post office has grown
from a fourth class Office to a pres.
ldential office, paying a salary of
$l,4W yer year. A score of post
offices have been established and
many new mail lines opened up
and others misunderstanding out
to cover greater territory. Wash
burn has grown from a hamlet Of
less than 100 people to a village of
9oo population and a regular mart
OF trade-people coming for more
IMAM oO miles to transact business
here and buy their supplies and
market their products. A score of
other towns have sprung up all
over the county and prosperity is
general. The assessed valuation
OF the county ana the acreage of
crop has doubled in the past three
years. The following figures are
secured from the assessment rolls
OF 1903, 1902 and 1901:

How BerinE Died.

In Harpcr'S Magazine Collins Shack
elford tells the true s,ory of the fatal
expedition of the explorer Bering. from
whom Bering strait is named. Here
is his account of the auvcnturers death
after the loss of his ship:
"Bering, who had been for some time
totally disabled, was brought ashore
on Il hand barrow in Il boat and placed
in Il sheltering hollow, where his still
faithful men IA mere handful - had
cleared the snow from the sand. Even
then he was dying His great age and
the har(lships he had undergone on
this voyage made his struggle for life
hopeless.
His slow passing away was pathetic
and pitiful In effect he partially
buried himself alive. He lay under the
shelter of tent made from an old sail.
Long suffering had made him childish
and petulant. Each day and all day
his weakening hands were constantly
busted Scraping down upon his body,
beginning at his feet, the sand from
the ridges on either side.
"IIe would submit to no interference
with this occupation, insisting that the
sand warmed him. When he died, Dec.
3, 1741, a month after the landing, his
body was already half buried. and 1t
needed but a little work on the part of
his skeleton comrades to inclose this
hero of the arctic regions In coffin Of
frozen sand.

The tendency of the present age Is
toward the use of machinery wherever
possible. and in the improvement of
highways of every kind the use of
ditching and roadmaking machines and
of heavy road rollers is of the first im-
pOrtance if economy and efficiency are
to go hand in hand. The use of proper
apparatus for the shaping up of the
rOadbcd and the subsequent hardening
of its surface is of paramount impor-
tance. and every supervisor of public
roads should have at his disposition.
ut least during part of each year. the
machinery above referred to. In con-
sidering the building of roads in rural
districts the matter of low first cost
must always be kept in view. While
this may appear somewhat high on ac-
count of the purchase of machinery, il
several townships join in the purchase
Of the required OUTFIT the cost of each
will hardly be felt, and the results OBJ
iained will fully justify the invest
ment. -
