During the past year Minot
has added five cement crossings
and some cement walks to her
inadequate improvements. Last
year was counted a prosperous
one too, in many ways. Now
what are we going to DOH 1904?
1t Will not be hard to find dozens
of things about the city which
should be looked after, but where
is the money coming from? Shall
we build "a city hall and jail with
rooms for our fire department.?
VIII the sewer system be put in?
VIII it pay to improve the water
works system or will it pay bet
ter to pay high insurance? Will
we dodge box cars for 3f5 days
six times a day Or will the coun-
Gil MAKE Jim Hill respect our
citizens enough to put in across
ing and appoint a gate keeper?
Perhaps all Of these things can
not be done in one short year,
yet it appears as tho the city
hall and jail could be erected.

Since the great holocaust at
the lroqais theatre in Chicago
last week, Mayor Harrison is
acting very wisely in compelling
the proprietors of theaters to
comply more strictly with the
rules governing their establish
ment, SO as to insure better SAT
ETY. for their patrons. and in
TACT he is causing a general re-
form in the condition ofchurches,
public halls, factories and build
mgs in general, where people
eongregate, SO that another ca

may be averted. This same idea
Of caution is being used not only
in Chicago but throughout the
entire length and breadth OF the
land A severe lesson has indeed
been taught the people, by a

efficiency or Indifference.
''These are outlines of a few
reasons which impelled me to the
introduction Of this bill. In COM
mon with all who have anything
to do with the work of irrigation
for our arid and semi-arid lands,
want to see the work done so
efficiency and so effectively that
it will be as nearly perfect as hu-
man hands can make it; a work
as everlasting as the hills them
selves.
Mr.. Council, as his many friends
in North Dakota, we'll known, is
a man not above the medium
height, but decidedly above the
medium in width. And he is just
as jovial and big hearted as he
is big in stature. While in the
city he has made many friends,
and his glowing accounts Of the
resources OF North Dakota and
the opportunities for acquiring Il
competency in life by industry in
that state, have attracted the
attention OF many people who
have been residing in Washing
ton and other eastern points. 1t
is no eNaggeration to say that
this big hearted, affable gentle
man from North Dakota, is ad-
vertising the state as but few
people from that section have
done before. Helooks upon North
Dakota as one Of the greatest
states IN the union and says that
the only reason the population
Of the state is not double what
it is today is because the people
OF the country have remained in
ignorance OF the great advant-
ages held ont to them by the
mighty west, particularly North
Dakota.
One New Years day Mr.. Con
nell called on the president with
many other western people who
are now visiting Washington.
AS he approached the president
Mr.. Connell saluted the chief
executive and introduced him
self as "a representative from
North Dakata. :" The president
smiled with a most cordial hand
shake, and exclaimed: 81 am
glad to see a representative from
North Dakota. | am a North
Dakota man myself and it makes
me feel good to see a representa-
tive from that state.'
AS MIR. Council was leaving; the
White House, one OF the attaches
approached him and informed
him that as he was a North Da-
kota man, and as the president
was formerly from North Dakota
he might be interested in seeing,
the presidents fine saddle and
driving horses. Mr.. Connell stat
ed that he would and was taken
to the stables and there shown
the fine horses owned by the
president, together with the brid-
lie and saddle presented the presi.
dent by the citizens OF Wyoming.
The presidents saddle horse,
Wyoming, which was presented
him by the people Of Wyoming,
is a beauty, and he was led out
with much pride by a groom and
shown to Mr.. Cornell.
1t was afterwards learned that
this courtesy was extended to
Mr.. Connell at the direction of
the president himself.

Washington, San. 7-Senator
Hansbrough OF North Dakota,
recently introduced a bill in the
senate providing for the appoint
ing OF a supervising ingineer; this
official to havs supervision over
the construction ofall work done
under the irrigation act. The
bill provides for a salary OF
$4,000 per annum. When in
terrogated concerning the pur-
pose OF this bill Senator Hans
brough said:
"The work to be done under
the irrigation act, and under all
subsequent amendatory acts,
will be tremendous, yes stipend
Gus. Every particle Of the work
done, every foot Of ground exca-
waited, every pound and ton Of
rock detonated from the everlast-
ing hills, every yard Of masonary
laid, every mite Of mortar pur-
chased ard mixed, every utensil
used. will be at the expense OF
the government and under the
expense of the government.
II have my doubts about the
Of the government to secure for
a salary of $4,000 per annum,
a supervising engineer OF engin-
eering skill and executive ability
commensurate with the magni-
ture of the work to be performed
and yet it is possible that cap
able man may be found for that
purpose. Some ofmy colleagues
are disposed to amend the bill
by increasing the salary to 49,
| 900.
What | mean by government
expense is this; Ii any dam
should give way causing disas-
ter to the work and danger to
the lives Of human beings, the
government would be response
bic for it. Every body remem-
bers the terrible devastation that
was caused by the Johnstown
food; and everybody remembers
the difficulty which the encount-
cred in endeavoring to fix the
responsibility. When anything
happens to one of these govern
ment works there will be no diff
Guilty in fixing the responsibility.
The government will be respons-
ible.
"Now the .Johnstown dam
which gave way before the flood
was regarded as one OF the best
pieces Of engineering work of it's
kind in the world. AS compared
to some of the dams which are to
be built by the government un-
der the irrigation law, that Johns
town dam was but as the work
OF children dabbling in q little
creek. Government dams will be
builded which will store away
hundreds of acres of ground on
which there will be accumulated
millions OF gallons OF water. Any
carelessness, any inefticiency, any
corrupt practice whereby cheap
material may be used; in short
anything which may be done in
the matter by an engineer OF less
than ordinary ability, may pro-
duce disasters unspeakable, not
to mention the enormous ex-
pense which would come to the
government for duplicatingwork
destroyed by ctrelessness, in

BARRY TO
LEAVE SOON
The Favorite Boxer TO
Fight Last
Contest.

Dave Barry will probably not fight
any more battles in Honolulu after he
meets Kelley on Saturday evening. AT
least it is his present intention to short
ly go back to California to which he
will return with greatly enhanced
reputation by reason of his HSnolulu
successes.
Naturally Barry will TRY not to lose
his hardly won laurels BY losing to KEEL
ley though he comedies that he will
have a hard time of it. Kelley and
Barry have both mixed matters before,
having twice gone the limit after
closely fought battles in which both
men went to grass more than once and
won names for being gluttons for pun
ishment.
There is little to choose between them
in looks, size, weight or condition. Both
have the complexion of young farmers,
the muscles of stevedores and the wind
of long distance runner. Their work
outs show some similarity of method
though Barry fights at much longer
range than his opponent. Kelley, in
his boxing with his trainers, shows how
he won his title of Cyclone and mixes
things up far more than his triers out
relish. Ring experts say that Barry has
the harder punch though Kelley has
always hoored his man UP to date.
