in fine SHAPE
DURING THE RECESS THE PUB
Lie SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN
WELL CLEANED
EVERYTHING is IN HYGiENlC AND
OTHERWISE GOOD CONDITION
FOR WORK

The Tribune looked over the school
buildings yesterday and they were
found absolutely clean. Not par
ticle of dust could be found anywhere.
The janitors have been busy men since
school closed. One thing we noticed
particularly was, there was not a
mark or DETACHMENT of any kind on
the woodwork and furniture of the
toilet rooms and approaches thereto,
except those made by the wear and
tear of use.
The high school building plant,
though it has been in use a year,
shows scarcely any wear at all. The
boiler rooms in both buildings are in
excellent shape. Everything was clean
and neat. There is plenty of fuel on
hand, so sudden storm which might
block the roads will not cause any in
convenience to the schools.
In the O. H. Will building the sup
erintendent's Office on the first floor,
has been furnished with lamps, chairs
and Office table. Hereafter the board
of education will hold it's meetings
there and seats have been provided
for any who may be interested in the
doings Of the boards. It is public
building and the board is glad to
have citizens who have the welfare
of the individual pupils and the
schools at heart to attend any of the
meetings, which are held on the first
Tuesday evening of each month at 8
o'clock. 49,.
The children of the present day are
to be envied the physical equipment
with which they are surrounded and
the Tribune urges them to improve
their splendid opportunities. Fine
buildings and good teachers cannot
bring forth well equipped citizens UNI
less each individual Sapplies himself
and makes use of all the aids that
surround him. These help, but in the
end, it rests with each boy and girl
to get his own education. "There
is no royal road to learning"

FLEET SAILS
FOR RIO JAN
EIRO TODAY

Port of Spain, Dec 2S.-The Ameri-
can feet will sail for Rio Janeiro to-
morrow morning, probably at an
early hour, though the exact hour
has not been signalled by the ad-
miral. The battleships have been
cleaned up and given final prepara-
ton for the long voyage and are now
looking spick and span. Engines,
boilers and all machinery have been
overhauled and everything is in first
class condition for the trip.
Rear Admiral Evans on the flag
ship Connecticut, and accompanied
by the Alabama, flagship of Rear
Admiral Sperry, the Illinois, Kear-

American Temperament and Art.

American Temperament and Art.
The majority Of the men and women
VINO gave American life its form and
direction were not the children of an
artistic race, though they were the
heirs Of great literature. They de-
scended from a people who have never
pursued art as an end and whose first
instructive expression in meeting great
experiences has never been artistic,
but who have never divorced action
from vision nor failed in the long run
to match power in action with some
kind of beauty in speech. From its
English ancestry the country has in
herited an ingrained and ineffaceable
idealism Of nature, which enormous
tasks and hitherto incredible prosper
ity have at times smothered and blight
ed, but never destroyed. From other
races have come richer temperament,
quicker sensibilities. craving for JOY
and love of beauty for its own sake
which have already immensely enrich.

Ralph Anderson introduced the
speaker of the evening in a few well

senior class rendered another salec-

closed with a general invitation to
meet the governor, to which nearly
all the audience responded. The re

SAkAGCHAWIA
E. r. SElNBRUEck SPEAKS ABOUT
THE FAMOUS BIRD
g. WOMAN IA

Sa-ka-gcha (bird) via (woman. The
only accurate and proper pronouncia-
ton of that Hidatsa Indian name, as
much as there has been doctorsd at IL
at other places or by other persons,
can be rendered only in the orthogra-
ply and tongue of the Germans, be-
cause the German language uses the
same sounds and has letters for them,
while the English has not, and the
American is very awkward in trying
to utter those sounds. That pronoun-
citation was repeatedly given to me
by two Hidatsa Indians, Wolf Chief
who adopted me as his father, and
Good Bird, the preacher at Independ-
ence, Fort Berthold reservation, who
is capable of speaking English. They
are both of the Awaticha band of the
Hidatsa, from the same village MAX
imilian, Prince of Wild-Nepwied),
where Charbonneau and Sakagchawia
lived.
Sakagchawia was a Shoshone girl,
captured by the Hidatsa when child.
She was legitimately married to Char
bonneau in the Indian fashion. Char
bonneau, hunter and trapper, was a
French Canadian by birth, a Roman
Catholic by baptism and white man
by skin. If he was of rough habits
and did not exactly live up to the
precepts of his religion, we have to
allow for that He could not be as
good Christian as others, who are
kept in close limits by the pressure
of the etiquette of the civilized world,
or who have their pew handy close
by. He lived in the wilderness, iso-
lated, among savages for many years.
| Let us not throw stone at him for
his vices-who could?-they are of no
concern to us. Let us be impartial
in the estimate of his merits to our
country. He could not only speak
French, but English, Hidatsa and the
Sioux language. 1t was providential
that Lewis and Clark should find such
a white man so far west, squawman,
familiar with the Indian ways and an
old acquaintance and neighbor of the
Hidatsa. Could not Lewis and Clark
praise themselves lucky in finding that
man? Charbonneau could interpret
the strange tongue (the English) to
the Indians and to his wife, when
among the wild and hostile Shoshones,
where the trouble came in. Charlton
neau, no matter what else he. may

tial instrument in bringing Lewis and
; Clark's dangerous enterprise to a sue.
cessful and harmless end. For what
would Sakagchawia been good for, il
, she had not been Charbonneau's, the
white mans, wife, as it were forming
: a link between the white and the red
race and being the mouthpiece OF
Charbonneau. She would have beer
ignored and passed by unobseved, un
called for, disinterested herself, like
' all the other hundreds of squaws, and

historical talk on "Dates," or in other words

part of Old st. Pauls Parish and was later
part of st. Johns Parish. In ITO it was laid
out as st. James Parish. DR.. Sparks also. by
the aid of historical data, disposed of many
pleasing traditions in regard to the bounds of
My Ladys Manor which, he said, was never
occupied by My Lord Baltimore at all, but was
laid out by his direction by Charles Carroll.
of Clynmalira Manor, who was land steward
at that time for Lord Baltimore. The part to
be laid out under Mr.. Carroll's direction con-
tanned 1000 acres. Its western bounds are
near Corbett Station and is marked by stone,
while its eastern bounds are marked by
stone on the farm of Mr.. w. d. Curry. Later

DR.. Sparks said the tenants were to pay one
barrel of corn as rent and that when Lord Bal

Commissioner Yeilott Has His Wish
Gratified AT the meeting of the Board Of
County Commissioners on Wednesday, at the
suggestion of Mr.. Yellott, it was decided to
employ Prof. James e. Green to audit its books
SO as to ascertain the exact condition of the
county's finances.
After the levy was made in May 1906, Com
missioner Yellott declared that tax rate of "
cents on the 500 would not yield sufficient
revenue to pay the expenses of the county for
the fiscal year. AT the recent Democratic
county convention Congressman Talbot stated
that at the end of the past fiscal year the coun-
ty was free from debt and there was surplus
of 900 in the county treasury. Mr.. Tai
bolts declaration was based on the report of
the condition of the treasury, published as re-
quired by law.
At Wednesdays meeting of the Board MIR.
Yellott said that he thought that skilled ac-
countant should be engaged to ascertain il the
statement which he had made in May, 1906,
regarding the county's finances was correct,
and if it was not he would make public
apology.
