Agreeably to a PROCLAMATION made
by Theodore Roosevelt, President
Of the United States, and because
it is fitting that the people of this
state should, publicly and with
due observances, render thanks to
the Oliver Of all good for the bles-
sings that have been bestowed upon
us, /, E. Y. SARLEs, Governor Of the
state of North Dakota, do hereby

as Thanksgiving Day within and
for the state. Upon that day, re-
framing from secular occupations,
let us with thankful hearts lift our
voices from altar and from Preside,
in an expression of our gratitude
to Almighty God for his benefcent
and bountiful gifts. Let the benefi-
cence of God to this nation and
state serve as our example in min
istering to the need of those among
us. who may be poor or unfortunate
that the day may breathe the spirit
of charity and fraternity. May no
distress or need be permitted among
us upon that day, and may its les
sons serve to- guide us in the paths
of civic righteousness and private
concern for the welfare of our fell
low men.

under the great seat of the state,
this sixth day of November, 1905.

The Supreme Court has decided
that the Capitol Bill is 'unconsti-
tutional and the new capitol build
ing is destined for the future.
Some Of the papers in the eastern
part Of the, state still insist that
the present building is plenty good
enough foll years to come. The
time has now come when the west
end of the state willginsist.and will
be able to get 4 share Of the appro-
priations regardless Of Fargo and
Cass county. Last winter the state
fair was placed oR wheels for the
benefit of Grand Forks and Fargo
The supreme court has spoken and
its mandates must be obeyed. We
take pride in orr state and would
like to have seen q capitol building
erected which would have done
credit to the great. State of North
Dakota, regardless Of the disgrun-
tied few in Fargo and elsewhere,
but Phoenix like the same will rise
again.

There is something brewing in
the matter of new railroad exten.
sion for this county ifthe presence
of a crew Of surveyors in the north.
ern part of the county has any
meaning. It is stated that a new
survey has been run west from the
Kensal crossing the Northern Pa
cifc ]. & N. branch line between
Pingree and Edmunds, and run
ming in a westerly direction on
south of Gerber about five miles.
1t is supposed that the surveyors
are running lines for a branch from
the 500 from Washburn or some
other point on that line to connect
with the main line at Kensal, and
thus get another east and west con-
nection for more new territory in
North Dakota.-Jamestown Alert.

The Bottineau Courant has now
changed hands and will be a Re-
publican newspaper. The Courant
under the editorship of John F.
Haskell, has taken front rank
among the papers of the state.
even if it was on the opposite side
of the fence. In bidding farewell
to his readers, Mr.. Haskell says
that the efforts of the few Demo.
Gratis, coupled with his, to awaken
the party in that county, proved
unavailing. Their sleep is too pro.
found. Peter Scott is the new man
at the helm, and he will find it hard
work to keep the paper to the high
standard set by his predecessor
Here is success to the new man,

NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOLS.

The schools have been accused,
and in some cases with good reason.
Of neglecting the practical for the
imPractical, of exaggerating that
which is distant and obscure 70,
that which is timely and present.
for spending the time of their pu.
pills in studies of ancient Greece
and Rome, while there is utter ig-
norance concerning the events OF
present which are making the his
tory of today: There is a health
full tendency in the other direction,
and it is noticed in our own state
The Herald knows the present
head of the State Department of
Education to be an earnest advo-
cate of the practice of familiariz-
ing the student with the events of
the day, and the Heraldis honored
by being made a regular text book
in many of the schools of the state
for this purpose. In Kansas, the
same movement is going m. Hon.
D. o. McCay, a member of the state
text book commission of Kansas,
in a recent article, says
"Our schools are lame, in that
they do not make the teaching Of
current events compulsory as one
Of the regularly adopted texts to be
studied daily. That omission should
be supplied by Legislative enact
ment. However, Kansas teachers,
who are ever in the forefront of
movements that will advance the
cause Of education, realize the i'm
portance of adding this interesting
and important study of current
events in its local newspaper. These
refectors of the worlds progress
and advancement are a home prod
uct, and are worthy to be read in
the schools of the state to whose
growth and development they have
generously contributed.
Every boy and girl able to read
newspapers intelligently should be
able to converse on current events.
Every school teacher should be able
to do SO, too. 1t is of as much i'm
portance that current historyshould
be studied in the schools as that
history in the past ages and gener-
atoms should be drilled into the
brains of the pupils. Some of the.
time given to the study of Greek
and fads could be devoted to news
paper reading with profit to the
student and the teacher as WE'LL

Good postmasters will be re-
tanned in Office" This is the an.
nouncement as sent forth from
Washington. President Roosevelt
throws them into the civil service
under Cortelyou's orders. First.
class postmasters are included in
the order. There will be a howl &c
up from the senators who are thus
deprived of their political rights
There are about $4,000 postofices
which will be affected by the new
policy.

News from the north end of the
county has it that both the 500 and
Great Northern roads are surveying
west towards the Crosby country.
It will probably be a race, and the
first one in will have the field. The
Great Northern is surveying west
from Mohall, and the 500 from
Bowbells.

THE BOATS.

The Benton Packet Company
with its headquarters at this place
for all up-river points, Mannhaven
and points beyond, recently com.
pleted a system of telephones TO,
the transaction of its transporta.
ton business. From the office here
the manager can sit in his chair
and direct the movement of the
boats. At night the Office is lighted
by electric lights the same as the
Offices in the larger cities. To be
able to unload boats at night sys-
tenn of electric lights are used which
makes the whole river front as light
as day and a boat coming in late
at night is unloaded and made
ready for departure by daylight.
There is no time wasted. The
grain is rapidly conveyed from the
boat to bins placed in the top of the
elevator and weighed. From two
to three hours is all the time re-
quired to unload and place the grain
in the cars ready for shipment to
the markets of the world. 10 ap-
preciate the means installed at this
point for the handling of the river
traffic it must be seen and nothing
has been left undone to expedite
water transportation. From a small
beginning it has grown to such
proportions flat four boats and
six barges are required to handle
the traffic. The Washburn, Elk
pansion, Bismarck and Western
in command Of able river captains,
such veterans as Capt. Marsh,
Symmes and Blount, all experience
ed men, and when it comes to max
ing record trips with their boats
they are never found wanting.
The rapid handling of other
freight has not been lost sight of.
When a load of lumber is to be
taken on board, the boat is dropped
down to the lumber chute, of which
there are two, leading from the
river to the railroad and the I'M
loading of a car of lumber onto the
boat is accomplished in a short
space of time. It is the same with
coaling. From a storage bin To-
Gated on the bank a chute leads
down to the river and all that is
necessary to take on coal is to
raise a door, which is done with a
windlass. The native fuel is used
which gives the best of satisfaction.
A large landing has been fitted
up for the winter quarters of the
boats. It contains a large machine
shop for the repairing of the boats.
Last summer two barges were built
here and are now in commission.
During the next few years we ex-
pect to see a much larger river
traffic and Washburn, as it is now,
headquarters for the same. The
water transportation is a boon to
merchants and farmers of the in.
terror country.

This Office was visited last week
by representatives, of several of the
patent medicine concerns of the
country and also received several
contracts by mail asking for space
in our valuable paper. The price
offered by these concerns is SO low
that itwould bean imposition onthe
public to accept them. In looking
over the list of papers contracted
with by the representative, we
noted several whose editors are
members of the North Dakota press
association, have accepted these
proposition at such a low rate that
hardly pay for the composition.
Yet these very men will attend a
meeting of the press association
and howl and tear their hair about
keeping up the advertising rates
and on their return home they ac-
cept the first contract offered at
about one-third the rate given the
home advertiser. If they want
space in The LEADER they will
have to pay for it as we are not
working for our health for some
patent medicine concern who is
accumulating millions off the ills
Iof others.

CURRENT LITERATURE.

Miss Carolyn wells has done much that
Is amusing and witty and her fame as
rhymer is 80 we'll established and her work
80 clever that her new book. The Matri-
nonial Bureau" needs no further recon-
rnendation than the bare fact that II comes
from her pen. Nevertheless, II Is perhaps
well TO say that Il contains her best work
and that IL furnishes the reader with
several hours OF steady and forgetful en-
joyment.
Miss Esther Adams, a middle aged
maiden lady, has a German maid who wins
a very decent husband through a mat1t-
monial bureau On thinking this over the
idea comes to Miss Adams that she Will
pursue the methods OF such bureau and
make matches for three attractive young
friends in her htue town. She sets about
It at once and invites to her house her
nephew, young army lieutenant whose
arrival forms the nucleus Of a house party
which soon grows to a jolly size. The situa-
ton develops rapidly and in surprising di-
rections until the bewildered matchmaker
is brought nearly to distraction The com
plicatlons are finally untangled, but only
after series of audaciously humorous
situations. The rapid fire of conversation,
Of which the book Is largely composed, has
all the spirit of lightness and fun. Miss
Wells and Mr.. Taber have elaborated on
several occasions but never before with
such marked success. Published by Hough-
ton, MifHin & Co.

DIR, WOOD ON
JONES' CONDITION
LONG CROSS EXAMINATION OF
THE MEDICAL EXPERT BY DE-
Putty ATTORNEY GENERAL.

After a day and half of cross eXa.
mination, DR.. c. b. Wood, the first of
the medical experts in the Jones case,
was released from the stand at 1880
this morning. This afternoon Dr. w.
II. Mays was the expert called, also for
the defense.
DR.. Wood and Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Peters supplied the jury with
very learned discussion of insanity,
which appeared to be listened to with
marked attention. The court room
was more crowded than it has general
ly been during the trial The doctor
went at length into his reason for ex-
pressing the opinion that Jones, as
described in the Hypothetical question
was insane. 1t developed that very
large part of his reason for the opinion
was Jones alleged delusion as to the
infidelity of his wife. II this delusion
were eliminated, said the doctor, the
reasons for believing Jones insane
would appear much less.

OFFICIALS HELD UP
KUNST'S CHINESE
WOULD NOT ALLOW A CHINK
FROM SAMOA TO LAND EXCEPT
UNDER PROPER BOND.

Gustave Kunst, the Samoan capital
list, arrived this morning from Pago
Pago by the >. 5. Sierra for a visit to
Honolulu. He was incidentally desir-
Gus of befriending a Chinese but the
capitalist got afoul of the Exclusion
Laws of America and for a while this
morning it looked as if the friendly act
of Kunst might not be accomplished.
on October l. 1902 Or. w. w. Solf
the German governor of Samoa, took a
Chinese named Szee Yong Fat from
Shanghai to Apia as a cook. Yong re-
mained in the employ of the governor
until last Christmas when Yong chang
ed employers by going to work for
Kunst. The latter agreed to bring
Fong to Honolulu and to pay the Chi
nese's passage back to Shanghai
The Chinese was refused admission
to this territory this morning by the
immigration officials except under
detention or a bond. In order that the
Chinese could land and continue in his
employ, Kunst put up a sufficient bond
to guarantee the immigration o cials.
The Chinese was then allowed to enter
the port. The Chinese is to depart for
the Orient by the S. S. Coptic March
or 4.
