The Alert Approves Jamestown
Alert: Secretary of State Blaisde1l |
announces that he will make Bis
marck his residence during the term
for which he was elected. Bismarck
is getting to be much more pleasant
city to- live in than in pioneer days,
and the custom of state officers resi-
ding with their families elsewhere |
than at the capital is and should be
passing away.
Doubling Thomases Forum:
The new editor of The Mandan Pho
neer insists on the enforcement of the |
prohibition law-presumably at Man
dan. 1t was recently enforced eat or
near Mandan"-when the first convic-
ton ever secured in Burleigh county
was reported. Some people still have
their doubts about Mandan jury do
ing a similar stunt.
Couldn't Get Located jamestown
Alert: Representative elect H. J.
Murphy of Courtenay was in the
Capital City last week endeavoring to
find a location for himself and family
during the session of the legislature,
but was unable to do so. The hotels
| will be crowded as usual for accom-
| modations, and there are few private
residences where it is convenient for
members and their wives who desire
to spend the legislative session in
Bismarck.
Spoiled the Fun There will be
wailing In many a household. The
postofice department has issued a
| fraud order against Santa Claus, and
all letters thus addressed will have
to go to the dead letter office. Here
tofore postmasters have generally laid
these epistles one side and turned
them over to charitable people who
have seen that the wants were sup
| piled as we'll as possible. 1t seems
too had to break up this practice, as
the real pleasure of Christmas is the
making of others happy.

which has characterized this excel
lent organization.
