great a gain in the last few months OF

ARBOR DAY.

State of North Dakota execu-
tive department. Arbor day
proclamation.
Agreeably to long establish
ed custom and because it is
especially wise and necessary
that the people of these prairie
states should set apart a day
for the planting of trees and
shrubs and the beautifying of
homes and the public places,
I do designate Friday, April 27,
1905 as Arbor day for the state
of North Dakota.
On that day I recommend
that all citizens join in the
work of setting out trees and
shrubs. Let our schools and
public institutions be further
adorned with the forest growths
that shall bring comfort and
delight to this and future gen
erations. Let appropriate exer-
cises be held in the public
schools that our children may
be taught the wisdom of COM
mon labor for the civic good
and join with intelligence and
affection in the work of beauti-
flying our state. Let the love
of nature enter into and bright
en- the hearts of the whole
people and let them signify
their gratitude for leaf and
shade by bringing forth these
groves that were the first tenn
pies of God.

which a jury will have to be
drawn. After a few prelimin-
aries Yesterday in justice court,
defendant waived examination
and was held to the district
court for trial. Under the law
bonds are beyond the jurisdic.
tion of a Justice in murder
cases, so Mr.. Hazlett is still in

ness for the state, was allowed
his liberty under 81, 500 bonds,
which have not been furnished

of rebates. The president, who
wanted to shield his protege.
secured in his behalf a deci-
sion to the effect that the cor
poration as corporation alone
was guilty and not the indiv-
;dual, Paul Morton.

eral of the United States con-
fronted the beef packers of
Chicago with proofs Of having
violated the law, the Judge
holds that the individual pack
ers are immune but not the
corporation.

er, and, in this case who is to
blame?
It now remains to be seen
what the president will do
about it.-Anoka Free Press.
