The Bottineau courant., 1907-03-29

A large number attended the
adjourned meeting of the citi-
zens of Bottineau at the court
house on Tuesday evening,
March 26, 1907. 1t was an en-
thusiastic meeting as it is
estimated that about $50 voters
were sufficiently interested in
the welfare of the city to attend
and take an active part in the
proceedings.
The meeting was called to or
der by H.A Bate and the min
utes of the previous meeting
was read and approved. At this
time the old organization STEP
ped out and Peter Scott was ell
ected president and A. Besan-
con secretary.
The report of the committee
elected at the prior meeting
was called and read and on
motion adopted. The report
was as follows:
Upon investigation we find
the city in immediate need of
water works and a sewer sys-
tenn. The present conditions
require the private citizen to
purchase water by the barrel
or be put to a larger expense OF
digging wells andthe continued
cost of pumping water and ali
this without an adequate sup
ply for home consumption and
none for lawns and garden pur-
poses and with no drainage
whereby Easements can be
drained and all this to the de-
triment of health and deprecia-
ton in the value of property.
LAS to securing these i'm
provements this committee re-
ports that under the statutes of
our state the city council may
upon an affirmative vote of two
thirds of the council proceed to
establish a sewerage as we'll as
water works system and for
this purpose the city may be
divided into improvement dis
tricts for water works and
sewerage and such districts as
may be wanted. Contracts for
putting in sewers may be paid
by warrants drawn on the i'm
provement district fund, which
warrants are paid by assessment
against the property benefited.
Warrants are drawn upon the
special assessment fund to pay
for the improvement and the
city itself incurs no general
liability because of any such
work done within the city ex-
.cepting only that the city can
obligate itself to pay one-fifth
of the cost of such improve
ment from the general fund of
the city. The contractor doing
the work receives the special
assessment warrant for his pay
and these assessments for water
mains may extend over period
of ten years and for the sewer
age may extend over a period
of twenty years. The payment
of these assessments, of course,
lis a lien upon the property but
the citizen is given ample time
to pay for the same. We fur
-ther find that the sewerage of
the city con be lawfully emptied
into Oak Creek.
In considering the creation
of city debts for public i'm
provement we suggest that un-
der our statutes and constitu-
ton there is a limit to the
amount of Indebtedness the
city may incur which cannot
exceed for water works and
sewers IL per cent. of the as
sessed valuation of the city.
The assessed valuation of the
city of Bottineau as shown by
the last assessment is 1926, O61,
making the debt limit for water
works and sewers .$35, 527.3 80,
this is the amount that could
be raised for such purposes less

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and flue cured,
The old and cheap way IS called air
cured: the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called fiue cured.
In flue curing the tobacco IS taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected 10 q continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat Of fame heated flue5, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
c5Uce. These similar processes give
10 both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
uiarizes their use.
The quality Of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind Of soil that produces it, as eX-
pert tests prove that this 7ue cured

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION.
Meeting Of Board Of Regents Today
Business Transacted,

A regular meeting Of the board OF re.
gents of the Smithsonian institution was
held this morning at 10 o'clock at the in.
stitution. the chancellor. Chief Justice
Fuller, presiding, and the following re.
gents being present: Vice President
Charles w. Fairbanks, Senator Shelby M
Cullom. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Sen.
ator Augustus o: Bacon. Representative
John Dalzell Representative James r
Mann. Representative William M. How.
ard. DR.. Andrew D. White, Mr.. John r
Henderson and the secretary of the In.
stitution, Mr. Charles D. Walcott.
The secretary presented his report TO,
the year ending June 80. 1907. to the

Statements were received from the ex.
ecutive and permanent committees.
The secretary presented a statement O,
the affairs Of the institution since the

for the purpose of taking up in person the
questions then agitating the two countries
but he refrained from going because of the
possibility that such action might give the
impression that there was some feeling
between the two countries. Count Aok
received word from his country late Sat.
urday afternoon that his government
wanted him to come home, and he lost nc
time in communicating the fact to this
government.
Viscount Aoki expects to leave Wash
lngton within two or three weeks on dis
;sripst0- Napaa.S He will be accompanied by
sa6 kss AoSi and viii travel by way
Of ofetMe#Pacifc ocean, preferring that to
the longer route via Europe and the trans
Ai6eriaf railroad. Mr.. Tsunejiro Miyaoka
the counselor Of the embassy, will be
charge d'a1aires during the ambassador $
absence. o.
Not Likely to Return.
1t is not likely that Count Aoki will
ever return to the United States in an
official capacity. but that he will spend
the balance of his days in Japan. He has
been absent from that country great
many years, thirty of which were spent
in Europe, and is now sixty-three years
Of age. The Viscountess Aoki breads the
long voyage across the ocean. and He
would not come to the United States with
out her.
But there are other than personal rea-
sons which it is said would influence
Count Aoki in the matter.
He came to Washington at the request
Of his government, and had the distinc-
tion of being the first ambassador ever
appointed by Japan. 1t is pointed out.
however. that he had higher honors at
home than the post at Washington, hav-
ing been twice minister of foreign affairs
was a member of the privy council and
occupied place of confidence near the
emperor. So that in a measure he made
a concession when he came to Washing
ton. Count Aoki has the highest decora-
ton conferred by Japan, the Grand Cross
Of the Rising Sun.

OF the enemy. Mr.. Foss got the last
ticket in yesterdays seat lottery, and
when he looked around the republican
side was chock-full. there was, not a
single vacant seat in the Cherokee strip
and only two empty chairs in the demo-
cratic section. Mr.. Foss made no de-
cision at the time. and hadn't stuck his
name on one of these two desks today.
But his colleagues think that the first
time he gets tired he will flop into one of
them and stay there the rest of the ses-
SION. Mr.. Toss Is seventeen kinds Of a
republican. and it annoys him to have to
listen all the time to democratic conver-
sation.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
House Minority to Meet Tomorrow
Night-Lively Times Expected.

The democrats of the House will caucus
tomorrow night at o'clock in the hall of
the House Of Representatives. Repressn-
tative Clayton of Alabama. chairman of
the caucus. sent out the call this morn.
ing. a petition signed by twenty-seyeu
minority members having been presented
to him. Twenty-Five names are sufficient
to insure call, and Representative Jones
OF Virginia who got the signatures, says
he could have secured many more had /,
been necessary.
AS was published in The Star at the
time. many democrats were rather peey.
ish at the abrupt termination of the
caucus of last Saturday afternoon upon
an adjournment motion made by Repre-
sentative Bourke Cochran of New York
Mr. Jones was one of the peevish ones and
Representative Hay of Virginia and Rep.
resentative Henry of Texas were in the
same boat
When the caucus meets tomorrow night
the first matter taken up will be Mr.
Hays f1libuster resolution authorizing the
minority leader to refuse all unanimous
consent, and to keep it up until the ways
aid means committee brought in a tariff
bill. Mr.. Hay thinks this Is the proper time
for the House democrats to come out
natfooted for revision, and that they
should not be restricted to conversation
but should act. He believes that the best
way of showing the earnestness and sin
cerfty of the democratic members Is
through systematic filibuster
The next business will be consideration
of Representative Henry's resolution for
the appointment of a committee of five
to make statement of live democratic
issues to be passed upon by a caucus in
the near future. He thinks the demo-
Gratis of the House are not shy of issues.
but are shy on making announcements OF
the real strenuous ones Then. after this
has been settled. Representative Jones of
Virginia will offer his resolution protes ing
against the naming of democratic COM
mittee members by the minority leader
He wants Uncle Joe to take all the re-
sponsibility on himself as long as there is
no hope of securing the appointment of
committee members through the agency
of committee on committees
Lively times are expected.
