COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Commissioner Putt Appointed To
Fill Out the New Term.

At the meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners this week,
Commissioner Putt, whose term
expired under the law, was re-
appoined by the board to serve for
another year. This appointment
gives general satisfaction.
Upon the Boards reorganization
Commissioner Solenberger was,
on motion of Commissioner Putt,
elected chairman for the ensuing
year. The Board designated the
Wilton News, Goodrich Citizen
and the Washburn Leader as the
three official papers for the ensu-
ing year.
Considerable routine business
was transacted and the members
of the Board saw to it that there
was no lost time. The proceed
ings will appear in the next issue.

RESERVATION GRAZING.

The large cattle interests of this
county, jeopardized by the advent
of the homesteader during the past
two years are much interesed in the
outcome of Indian Agent Thomas
visit to Washington. It has been
generally understood that ranchers
in the northern part of the county
as we'll as those of Ward and Will
liams whose summer range has
been curtailed to such an extent as
to make the summer grazing prop
osition with them a serious one,
have had their eye and heart on
the Fort Berthold Indian Reserva-
ton, and now that Major Thomas
has been ordered to Washington
by Indian Commissioner Jones to
consult With the authorities as to
the advisability Of leasing certain
parts of the reservation to cattle
men for grazing purposes, there are
hopes that something tangible may
result and the unused lands on the
reservation placed at the, disposal
of the general public and the In
dams deriving some benefit from
il as we'll. It is estimated thai
native grasses on the unused por'
ton Of the reservation would main
tain from 10000 to 25,OOO head o.
cattle. About two years ago it wa
proposed that a part Of the reser
walton be coded by the indians, t.
the government, but it is now un
derstood that, at the request of thu
Indians, this plan has been aban
doned until the lands become NOR.
valuable, and the plan Of leasing
substituted.
It is expected that during Majo
Thomas stay inWashington some
thing definite as to plans or rule
will be decided upon and that, il
the early spring, leasing will com
mence.

The ORPHAN GIRLS.
Royalty Entertain
With a Grand Ball
Thursday eve.
A Grand Success In Every
Detail. The Arrange
ments Perfect.

After Eight long years of weary
waiting the Orphan Girls of Wash
burn proved to the batchellors and
the married folks as we'll, that they
had not forgotten the art of enterta-
lining, by giving a Grand Leap Year
Ball at the Merchants Hotel to a
large number of invited guests
Thursday evening, thirty couples
being present.
The guests of the Orphan Girls
were shown all the honors of the
occasion. The men were escorted
to the hotel with great eclat by the
ladies and we're given all the at
tention that they we're entitled to
on an occasion of this kind. Some
of the male guests wanted to retire
to the Office to enjoy aquiet smoke
but were promptly brought back
by the ever watchful ladies and
their every comfort was looked af-
ter with neatness and dispatch.
The men present rather liked the
attention thus showered upon them
and to sit around and have the
ladies, with a graceful bow ask for
the next dance made more than
one heart 60 aippity-aop and man
thought himself more of a hero
than ever, and it was decided that
the girls need not be orphans as
the men would like to be brothers
to them.
Dancing began promptly at nine
o'clock with George Lenhart at the
violin and Miss Charlebois accom-
PIANIST on the piano. Elegant pro-
CRANES we're furnished by the la
dies which were soon filled. The
programs we're original and called
forth much praise. The program
consisted of 20 numbers and six
extra dances was added audit was
not the fault of the Orphans if the
men did not get enough dancing as
| there vas a very short interval be-
teen the numbers.
At twelve O'Clock supper was
served in the dining room by Man.
ager Hart of the Merchants and
here again it was demonstrated
that Orphans had not forgotten the
art of gettin out a menu for an &C.
casion of this kind. After supper
dancing was resumed and kept uI
till the wee sma hours when the
young men we're carefully escorted
home by the Orphans.
The last dance on the program
was Home Sweet Home-the Pro.
posal. How the Orphans came out
on the latter proposition we are
unable to say, but if they were az
successful as was the Grand Leap
YearsBall, we will look forward
to a large number of announce
ments during the nextfew months
Program ended by a chorus o.
60 voices singing Aud Lang yne
For eight long years they have
waited this chance and it was the
expression of all that q better time
was never had in Washburn on an
Occasion of this kind.

cleveland ns a Candidate.

Mr. Cleveland's first election was ac-
conlplished at Il time when he had no
settled views on the tariff or other pub
lie questions, and Republican senate
madc it impossible for him to accom-
pliSh anything when he did try. But
his celebrated free trade message near
the close of his term did tremendous
injury TO the business of the nation and
brought about his defeat.
When Mr.. Cleveland was reelected
four years later with certainty of
tariff revision along free trade lines
the country suffered almost as much as
il did in the civil war. What would
be the result of his reelection If again
nominated? Business would again be
paralyzed, and no one could tell what
the end would be- Should he be chosen
and the Democrats get control of con-
gress before his term expired the tariff
would again be revised on the Wilson
lines. The danger of this from the
start would bring back the soup house
days of the last Cleveland administra-
ton 1t would not matter who the
Democratic nominee was the result
would be the same.
Are there any capitalists who want
to contribute money to that end? Are
there any business men who are inter
eStcd in the welfare of this country
who would seek to bring back the dis
tress. misery and enormous loss that
characterized the last Democratic ad
ministration? 1t is not possible that
business men who have heretofore sup
ported the Republican party would, out
of spite, if they had reason for that
feeling, turn about and support Dem
ocratic Philadelphia Press.
