Object to Removing Trees.

There is quite protest against the
removal of the line of shade trees on
West Market street, which has been de-
cided upon by the County Commits
sioners in order to make room for the
concrete pavement along the Court
House grounds. Several citizens have
talked to the County Commissioners
about the matter inquiring whether
the pavement could not be built with
out removing the trees. The Com
missloners. however, show no disposi-
tion to recede and state that il we are
to have concrete pavement the trees
will. have to be sacrificed. They take
the view that ample shade will, re-
main on the spot To assist in filling
up the open space Commissioner
George W. Leighow yesterday stated
that one of the smaller and healthier
looking trees on the curb will be trans
planted on the lawn near the front of
the Court House in line with the sew
eral trees already growing along side
of the building.
Residents on West Market street,
however, who appreciate the shade,
take the view that considering the
general slaughter of timber at the
present time it would be wrong to cut
down a single tree that could possibly
be spared, Several have been heard to
say that if cutting down of the trees
is to be the price paid for concrete
pavement. then they would be content
to get along with a flag stone pave

EDWARD CORMAN
REELECTED

Edward German was elected to sue
ceed himself as Water COMMISSIONS
at a regular meeting of Council Fri
day.
Mr.. Dietrich informed Council that
the date had arrived for electing a
Water Commissioner to take his seat
on September lst Nh. Vastine moved
that Mr.. German be reelected. MI.
Magill seconded the motion. There

animous support of Council and he
was therefore declared elected tc serve
for the ensuing three years.
Mr.. Boyer reported nuisance on
Church street in the form of cellar
drainage and waste water. which Is
permitted to accumulate in the gut
ters. On motion the Street Commits
sioner was instructed to notify
property owners to proceed at once to
abate the nuisance by connecting their
houses with the public sewer recently
completed.
Mr.. Goeser of the Committee on Or
dinance and Police called attention to
the petty stealing and daring bur
gIaries which have taken place during
the last week or so. He thought that
it was high time that something were

The Clifton orphans returned to
their homes 10 Clifton Monday, IN
charge Of their foster parents, aud a
happy set they were. The supreme
court Of Arizona, after carefully
listening to all the evidence refused to
give the children to the Orphans
home, and returned them to the
people who had adopted them. The
court absolved the home and Agent
Swain from all blame, aud laid the
responsibility of the mistake on the
priest who had made the arrange
ments for securing the homes. The
Orphans Home people appealed the
case to the supreme court Of the
United States, whose decision, II one
Is reached, will make q precedent for
all time. The decision 10 this case
was based on a decision Of the supreme
court Of Massachusetts,, which deci.
sion covered the following points: A
child whose domicile Is 10 one state,
aud ls brought into another state has
a right TO claim the protection Of the
laws Of that state, and the question Of
the removal Of the guardian depends
not on the law Of the state where he
was appointed, but on the laws Of the
state where the child is. A guardian
appointed by virtue Of the statute Of
one state cannot exercise any authori-
" In another state. The appoint
ment Of q guardian over a minor by a
probate court of one commonwealth
does not settle the status Of the child
nor prevent bis being removed, II the
interest in the child renders such re-
moval expedient. The court then
went into the question Of the action
Of the probate court Of Graham county
10 appointing these people guardians
Of the children. AS there was an ap-
peal from that case the court held IL
was not settled, and that neither the
Orphans Home nor the foster parents
had a legal claim to the children that
would authorize the court to award
them the little ones. Yet the court
had to decide what disposal to make
OF the children. The court held as
the foster parents we're people Of some
means and educatiOn; as they we're
strongly attached to the children, as
had been shown by what they had
done for them; that they would give
them good homes and ed~ucations, that
the probabilities we're the children
would be placed In no better homes,
so they were awarded to the Clifton
people. The law As laid down by the
supreme court Of Massachusetts, was
new TO most people who thought that
a legally appointed guardian had the
same rights as a parent but it seems
he does not. The children are in
good hands, and the trials and tribu-
lations that they aud their foster
parents have been through since irSt
they came to Clifton have bound them
together with bonds of affection much
stronger than those which usually en-.
circle foster parents and adopted

SHAW EXPLAINS WHEAT DRAWBACK
Sends Letter to Speaker Percy in Reply to Concurrent
Resolution.

Queer in his efforts to successfully
compete in foreign markets. You will
rJ,dily understand that congress could
not protect the American producer in
foreign markets, however it might try.
Taking this view of the case, you will
recognize that the two provisions
protection for the encouragement OF
American producers for the American
market, and the drawback for the en-
couragement OF American exporters
are consistent. The American manu-
facturer of flour has the unquestioned
right to grind imported wheat in bond,
export his product, and pay no duty.
He also has the unquestioned right to
grind Canadian wheat out of bond,
and if he exports all his product, get a
drawback equal to 80 per cent of the
duty he has paid"
In concluding his letter, Secretary
Shaw says: "The question is whether
the American miller can import two
bushels of American wheat, paying SO
cents duty, blend this with two bush
els of American wheat, export a bar
rel of flour and ecove any portion of
the duty he has paid. 1t has from the
beginning seemed a little strange to
me that there should be so much OBJ
lection to the consumption of a hoiety
of American wheat. Believing that
the question has not been fairly pre-
scented to your body, l have taken the
liberty of replying somewhat in detail
to your very courteous resolution. I
have very carefully avoided the legal
questions involved, and my aim has
rather been to invite careful investi-
cation of all the phases Of the ques-
ton"

HAD HUSBANDS TO BURN.

What spinster Said About Widowed
Friend J st from crematory.
A good sort of trolley conductor who
has ears for other things besides the
bell Of his fare register and whose run
in Brooklyn brings him passengers to
and from a certain cemetery, vouches
for this story:
A woman boarded his car at the
cemetery the other day shaking with
sobs. She had not been in the car long
when two women took seats opposite
her. One of them seemed to recog-
nize the woman from the cemetery,
hesitated a moment, then crossed the
aisle and spoke to her. The sobbing
one looked up and the Identification
was complete.
why, Mary" said the woman who
had crossed the aisle. where have you
been for so long, and what is themat-
ter?"
II have been married." came the
sob-broken answer, land I'm just after
cremating my husband"
Condolences were offered and the
widow soon after left the car, appar-
emily cheered, while her friend return
ed to the seat beside her companion,
and told all that Mary had upbosonled
to her.
"And she's got husbands to burn"
remarked the companion, obviously.

the living tribes can furnish u, infor.
nation at any time as to the life of
their ancestors, the Mandans, dead
and extinct as a tribe, must have their
history searched for in the few re-
mains found scattered over our
plains, and their story must be taken
up now, or it can never be told. What
would posterity say of the people of
this day if in the future there was
only scant knowledge Of this impor.
tant period, all because the investiga-
ton was not undertaken at the time
that it could be pursued to success?
North Dakota should not allow Min
nesota to put this state to shame. They
should not be the ones to investigate
the early history of this country, or
write its history, or hoard up the treas
ures which should belong to North Da-
kota. 1t is certain that if North Da-
kota does not actively take up this
work it will be done by her sister
state. What has been done so far in
this state is only the beginning. The
country should be travelled from the
north line of South Dakota to the Man
itoba boundary, panoramic views
should be taken of the surrounding
country as we'll as the sites of the for.
mer Indian villages; minute descrip-
tons should be recorded as well as
each site being carefully measured,
showing the number of lodges; speci-
men should, be dug for, and the infor-
nation, specimens and views Of each
village should he kept separate. These
could then be compared with the rec
ords made by the old-time travellers,
as Lewis and Clark, 1804-5; Brecken-
| ridge, 1911; George Catlin and Prince
| Macmillan, 1884, and others, and
, this will then give a fuller history OF
the b%lue-eyed, fair-haired Mandans
more accurately and more to the point
past by anybody. There have been
many changes in the dwelling places
and in the movements of tribes of the
Mandans and Arikaras since the time
of Lewis and Clark which have never
been recorded. These facts can now
be secured and then the past will be
as a book, if this is done before the
sponge of time wipes the record of
the blackboard, and this would leave
no record for posterity.
Mr.. Steinbreuck says very forcibly
"I consider it our duty to ourselves, as
we'll as to posterity, to explore, inves
tigate, preserve and record all we car
get hold of at present, thus furnishing
treasures of history and information
to students in all ages who may com
after u.s."
