PORT FROM
'BAKU TELLS
OF PLUMBER.
According to Advice to Car the
Tatars and Kurds Are Pillag-
the BLACK Town."
WOkKMEN ARE KILLED.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 12.--The
latest private telegram to be received
from Baku reports that the situation
there is growing worse.
Other unconfirmed dispatches assert
that the rioters are stubbornly con-
tinuing their attacks and that the Tar
tars and Kurds are plundering in the
"Black Town district. The dispatches
say that on Sunday the soldiers fired
into a crowd of Russian workmen, kill
ing seventeen.
A dispatch to the Caucasus Oil com
pany from Baku says that the fires in
the oil fields are practically exhausted
and that the military authorities are
%stationing guards in the district.
During the night, the dispatch says,
incendiaries tried to land at Bibiebat
from small boats, but were driven off
by volleys from the Cossacks. They
then attacked steamers in which the
employees of two oil companies had
taken refuge during the uprising, but
the attack was repulsed. The incen-
diaries succeeded in setting fire to the
machine shops in the Uolshkin district,
killing the proprietor Of one.
In the "Black Town district the pa
troll fired a volley into a crowd of Rus
sian workmen from which a shot was
supposed to have been fired, but the
dispatch to the Caucasus Oil company
expressly states that no one was killed.
Throughout the "Black Town" district
the patrols are acting energetically in
suppressing disorders.
After the conference of oil men here
yesterday, at which dispatches from
the oil regions were compared, the rep
resentatives of the various companies
summarized the situation in the well
district as follows:
Born Company.-Most of the tanks
and pumps Of this company have been
saved. from destruction. A few wells
belonging to other English companies
have been saved.
Society of Baku.-A third of its prop
erty destroyed.
Nobol Company.-Half of it's proper
ty destroyed.
Caspian Company.-ltS property com
pletely destroyed.
Other large companies, including the
Caucasus. Rothschild, Mantascheff,
Sherebaieff and Sobaloff, saved only a
small portion of their properties.
Oil men representing an annual pro-
duction Of 100000 900 pounds met and
determined to ask the state for as
sistance in obtaining a twenty year
loan without interest to cover the
losses resulting from the catastrophe
at Baku, without which, they declared.
10S of the 1873 companies would be un-
able to continue in business.
The meeting also drew up a remon-
STRANGE, which they will ask Finance
Minister Kokovsoff to present to En-
peror Nicholas, stating that it is i'm
possible for the naphtha industry to
exist under present conditions and that
the companies would not resume opera
lions unless guarantees were given
them that order would 500 be restored
and permanently maintained i'll the oil
regions.
The oiIfmen in Nizhni Novgorod and
Astrakhan express the fear that at
tempts will be made to burn the stocks
of oil stored there, and they ask for

With this issue of The LEADER
we mark the close of another year
and at this time it is necessary to
look back over the past twelve
months and note the progress made,
not only in one, but in all lines.
The country has enjoyed prosper
ity and nature has been lavish with
her gifts. In foreign lands there has
been want and famine: great bat
ties have been fought on land and
sea, but here in our own country
peace and prosperity is with us,
and in looking over, the past and
studying the conditions of coun-
tries less fortunate than ours, we
should be more than thankful that
we are free American citizens, and
today are enjoying the gifts which
a kind Providence has provided for
us In starting out upon the new
year, let us resolve to continue the
work of building for the future and
may the coming year be more pros
porous and the world be better for
our having lived in lit. The LEA

North Dakota leads South Dakota
in sheep shipments this season.
This state sent to market 1911 more
sheep during the past five months
than we're sent from sister state.
This was shown by the report Of
the inspectors of the bureau of an
imal industry, which has just been
completed for the months of July,
August, September, October and
the busy months in the
sheep shipping season. The report
for the month of December is not
ready yet, but as the shipments
during this month have always been
very light, it is not believed that
any change will result in the pro-
portion of the totals. The ship

Dakota and South Dakota we're as
follows:-
Montana. 1,3O5,17O
North Dakota. 1882

AS usual, Montana leads in sheep
shipments. In cattle shipments,
however, South Dakota leads, with
Montana second and North Dakota
third.

Comparatively few of the tax
payers of this county are aware of
the act that there is such a thing
as a liquor prosecution fund from
which the cost Of prosecuting pig
gers is taken, thus reducing the
cost of this kind of litigation very
materially, if not paying it entirely
in many cases. But where does the
money come from to make up this
fund? All fines and forfeited bail
is turned into this fund, and after
all the expenses of a case is paid.
the balance, if any, is turned into
the common school fund of the
state.
At the May term in this county
there were $1,000 in fines and for.
feited bail turned in, and at this
term there has been $3.50 added tc
this fund, making a total of $2,lOC
for the two terms.
It will be readily seen that while
the "piggers" may not contribute
every dollar necessary to prosecute
them, still the general fund is re-
lieved to agreat extent and adirect
saving is the result, for which the
taxpayers are not registering kick
especially after it is known that the
cost Of prosecuting the piggers falls

EDUCATIONAL PUBLICITY.

EDUkA lUNAk FUOkItll T..
The reading public today has a
large appetite for information. With
the growth of wealth and education
the number of people who want to
know about things in general in
creases by hundreds of thousands.
In response to this demand, the
modern journalist searches out the
truth in every field. Even a few
years ago, the average person could
know relatively little about a great
many subjects that are now of COM
mon knowledge. Today, almost
numberless publications-special,
general, class, sex, club. cult, trade,
technical, scientific, political, COM
mercial, economic, charitable, edu-
cational-ransack the universe for
facts on every conceivable subject
for large numbers of readers.
And the facts are so numerous
that antiquity loses its charm. This
age is the age Of readers Of current
publications. The age of books is
giving way to the age of the peri
odical.
Publicityis becoming as common
as mystery used to be. Hundreds
of subjects are laid bare that a few
years ago were hidden. The recent
invasion by the press of the dark
recesses of high finance and low
honor is an instance.
But the possibilities of publicity
are not yet realized. There are still
many fields for publication.to enter.
There are many subjects wherein
it is advantageous for newspaper
readers to be informed.
4HF l.' - "H
1t might seem that with the enor-
nous growth of the magazine and
the invasion of the country by the
metropolitan daily, the country and
small town newspaper is doomed.
If it ATTEMPTED to compete with the
large daily, it probably would be
doomed. But it is probable that
with the growth of the city press
there may be a corresponding de-
velopment of the country press: 1t
is probable that state and local life
and happenings have never been
fully exploited by the county press.
The latter may find new fields of
state and local news and citizens
may find it more to their advantage
to read the local paper than ever
before, Instead of being in proc
ess of anihilation by the city press
the country paper is probably on
the frontier of a great development
in the purveying of news from
smaller areas cultivated intensely.
Take for example the field of edu-
cation. Newspaper readers were
once children themselves. Perhaps
they have children. Yet thousands
when they think of education think
only of Webster's spelling book,
states much spit upon, a dilapidated
one room building and an unframed
and unskillful teacher. They little
realize the progress Of the past few
years. Amazing changes are being
accomplished. determinations are
being surveyedand laid for the pre-
dominent science Of the Goth cent

tional centers are largely yelled to
