The recent review issue of the Nc
CIusky Gazette is profusely illustrated
and shows the remarkable growth Of
that hust1ing Mclean county town.
Half tone cuts illustrate McClusky
when three days old, July IL, 1905,
and year later, Aug. 9, 1906. In the
former four small shacks are seen
and in the latter five large elevators
and several streets of business houses
and residences. OF the opportunities
the Gazette says: "No one portion
of North Dakota has developed SO
much within the past two years as
has this particular section and in no
other portion of the state are there SO
many excellent opportunities lying
open for young men of energy and
push, as will be found here. And
while the land has steadily increased
in market value the permanent de-
ve1opment Of the country has even
surpassed the existing prices of land,
and there are still many acres of good
tillab1e land which car be had from
$3.50 to $4,000 per acre"

A queer marriage custo \,

Members Of the Mill tribe, who live

xsMsEs OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Senator Kraabel's board of cnotrol
bill will attract considerable attention
and discussion during the session of
the legislature. There is much to be
said in favor of the board of control
idea. If the right men can be OBJ
tanned for the places, it eliminates the
local idea and puts state institutions
in control of a general state board,
which should have an eye single to
the welfare of the institutions and the
interest of the whole state. This is
not to infer that local boards for diff
ferent institutions do not do their
duty by the institutions and the state,
but a general board would no doubt
be able to articulate the interests of
all the institutions in the providing of
supplies and the adoption of a general
scheme of management. The Tribune
has advocated the board of control
for several years and is still in favor
of it, always providing that the right
men can be obtained. To make a
board of control a success we must
have the very best men obtainable.
We must have men who are versed m
all branches of the business that will
come before the board. There should
be one or two professional men, a
man of good judgment, a man versed
In the purchase of supplies every
man should have some especial quail
fcation for the place. To get. such
men as are needed, good salaries are
demanded and the law should provide
a liberal salary-the state will save
money, if it passes such a bill, by
providing such a salary as will at
tract the best men possible for the
places. The qualifications of the
secretary should not be merely
clerical and his salary should be large
enough to enable man of capacity
and breadth to take the place. The
state will gain in the long run much
more than the mere additions of
salary.

jamestown, N. D., Jan. 10.-A fire
occurred at the N. P. coal docks
which destroyed the gasoline engine
house, and burned some of the tim
bers on the west side of the docks,
but no fuel. The firemen responded
and with the available water supply
to be had at first succeeded in almost
putting out the flames before the
tanks were dug from the snow, after
which the water pressure was better.
The company will at once repair the
loss. It looked at one time as if the
entire coal docks would be a loss.
The origin of the fire is not known.

account Of the dusty color their abdo-

in the steppes region Of the north

about four feet, they are quite distinct

from the yellowish Bushmen

Their habitations are holes in the

those obtained in exchange for ostrich

Special to the Tribune.


jamestown, N. D., Jan. 11.-After
being out two hours, the jury in the
damage case of Thiring VS.. the City of
Jamestown, brought in verdict for
the defendant, and the city therefore
RECEIVERS the costs of the, action.
Joseph Thiring, plaintiff claimed that
on the night of April %. 1906, he fell
on a defective sidewalk north Of the
new high school building, and frac-
tured one arm. He brought suit
against the city for $4,000, damages,
s. L. Glaspell being his attorney,
while City Attorney Kneeland de-
Tended the city's interests. ATTORNEY
Kneeland introduced witnesses, among
whom were Prof Schmidt, and former
Street Commissioner Cadieux who
testified that the sidewalk where the
accident was claimed to have occur
red was put in perfect repair one
week before the date of the accident
When instructing the jury after the
case was turned over to them Judge
Burke stated that the plaintiff in
order to recover damages must prove
that the city officials had been mott.
ned OF the defect in the walk, or that
the defect had existed so long that
they would be legally held to have re
ceived notice. This case well illus
trates the fact that the city is held
liable for damages only when it is
proved to be negligent. Y

Appropriated Honors.

1t is openly charged by Chelan
visitors to the Spokane fair that a
plate of Red Bjttingheimer apples
belonging to the Lake Chelan exhibit
was appropriated by Wenatchee
parties and placed with one of the
Wenatchee exhibits. This plate of
fruit won second prize on that vari-
ETY.. The apples were grown by Mrs.
j. Howard Watson on her First
Creek ranch, and she contributed
them to the collection gathered at
the Commercial club rooms. A num-
her of experienced fruit growers who
saw them there and noted their un-
usual high color ami perfect form,
readily recognized them when they
saw them with the Wenatchee fruit
at the fair.-Chelan Leader.
Still they knock!
The jealous press in the outlying
suburbs of Wenatchee cannot conceal
its envy. When Wenatchee was
young it scoffed; when she entered
on the period of her first marvellous
growth they knocked increasingly.
But Wnatchee kept on growing be-
cause she has so many natural ad-
vantages over her neighboring de-
tractors.
She is far in the lead now, and
if the, smaller towns are wise they
will forget their imaginary grudges
and get in line. For the race is 10
the strong, and Wenatchee is on top
to stay.
