Bantams Are the Pets

at the show. The beautiful gold and
black Seabrights, Buff Cochins and
White Cochins have their admirers no
less than the bigger birds. Several
pens of Japanese bantams have feathers
as downy as fur. A little Blue Anda-
usian bantam cock began to crow last
night, and he became so pleased with
the sound of his own voice that the
judges could scarcely render their de-
cisons. His clear, voluminous baritone
resounded high above the Wyandotte's 5
shrill tenor.
The ducks and geese occupied another
row. White crested and White Pekin
ducks: Tolouse ard African geese rep

collection of turkeys occupied con-

Mr.. Gunston is an expert on Rhode

Admirers of the feathered warrior,

Their fighting proclivities proved more

0. YOUNG PAYING A
HIGH PRICE FOR
AUTOMOBILE
Costs Patty $3.50 a Day For
Machine Stirring Scenes
Depicted in Letter.

Orrfson Young is in receipt of
letter from his brother, o. Young, of
this city. who is just now making a
tour of the gold fields of Nevada. in
which he depicts some things that
would make the average Grand Fork
ers' hair stand on end. He is now at
Goldfield and is making the tour
which includes Rhyolite, Round Noun
tain, Manhattan. Goldfield and Skidoo,
with party of eastern capitalists.
The party is travelling in an automo-
bile for which they are paying the
modest sum of $3.50 day. At Cold
field the miners are on strike and
some stirring scenes are depicted in
Mr.. Young's letter. Three hundred
officers are guarding the city, and the
clash of the officers with the strikers
is a matter of daily and almost hourly
occurrence. A boarding house keeper
who gave food to other persons than
those who are members of the miners
organization was shot down. The
murderers are now on trial and every
person who attempts to enter the
court house where the trial is being
conducted is searched by the officers
to see if he is attempting to smuggle
in any arms. 1t is the typical brand
of Kentucky justice. Mr.. Young al
lays the fears of his friends in this
city by assuring them that he does not
go out at night and is staying in
doors most Of the time during the day.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Young
was robbed at this place few months
ago and he states that he left his
diamonds in the bank at another city,
and is wearing paste goods just now

THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN.

The donation of a beautiful and
costly fountain to the city by the Ma
tional Humane Alliance is one of the
things which should find a hearty and
enthusiastic response in the breast OF
every citizen. Aside from the fact
tina. its fundamental principle is the
providing of comfort for the lower
animals, it should be a matter of civic
pride to have it in the city.
We can not, of course, overlook the
fact that the founder Of the fund
which places the fountains in the vari-
Gus cities had in mind the care OF
the animals he believed We're the COM
panions rather than the slaves of man,
and it is for this reason that it par
takes of a humanitarian idea. Moth
ing is nobler; nothing could be more
appealing to the highest ideals of the
people of the city
Aside from all this however is the
more selfish view of procuring the
fountain for the city. We are en-
deavoring to beautify it, and in so
doing the advantage of a fountain
should not be overlooked. 1t would
stand as monument to our enter
prise and an emblem of our humans
tarianism.

A JAMESTOWN LESSON.

The opening of the jamestown ex-
position today not only commentaries
the three hundredth anniversary of
the landing of the first English adj
venturers at that historic spot, but
it illustrates as nothing else could do
the marvellous development of a ma
ton from the wilderness-a nation
which in the three centuries since its
first permanent English settlement
was formed. has become the mistress
of the world with a government mod
eled after no other but which is the
exemplification of human liberty and
civil rights.
1t may be true that in the progress
of art and science and literature and
invention we have merely kept pace
with the world at large. But it is
something to realize that We built the
first railroad, constructed the first
boat propelled by steam, sent the first
message over a telegraph wire, oper-
ated the first sewing machine, cooked
on the first metal stove, drove the
first binder, talked over the first tele-
phone, eat the first bread made from
patent flour, used the first writing
machine, printed the first newspaper
on a perfecting press, set the first
type on Mergenthaler and a few
hundred others easily recalled from
the catalogue of memory. The old
world has added few more.
1t is not in invention alone that We
as a nation have outstripped the
world. Nor is it this alone which
will be typified in the jamestown ex-
position. It is the development and
perfecting of the greatest government
ever constructed, which claims the
attention of the visitors from all parts
OF the world. Those who stepped
ashore that April morning in the Vir-
gania wilderness, carried in their souls
the undeveloped principles of free.
dom. They did not realize it, nor did
they suppose that they were laying
the foundation for nation which was
to stretch itself from the shores where
the waves of the Atlantic We're kissed
with the sparkling rays of the morn
ing's sun to the shores of the shores
where the shimmering waves of the
then unexplored Pacific basked in the

I'M the Flooied District.

A. D. Baughman, the we'll known
Janey, Semple, Hill & Co. man, came
in last night from the Walhalla and
Neche country. going out today for a
trip up the Langdon line. Mr.. Baugh-
man says there is considerable water
in the northeastern portion of the
state especially in the vicinity of
Hamilton and Pembina where the
fractions Tongue river has risen from
its bed and spread out over the prairie.
There has been a slight subsistence
the last day or two and the people are
praying for low water.

golden CLEANS of the setting sun. But
it was true.
The principles of English freedom
which they brought to the Virginia
wilderness became the foundation for
the nation which was to be carved
out of that wilderness. With these
We're mingled the best of every race
which came to form part of the new
world civilization.
Out of this fortunate combination
have come the elements which in
three centuries have builded a nation
grander and stronger and better than
Babylon or Egypt or Greece or Rome
the building OF which was the work
of ages compared with our own be-
loved land.
The century and half which serv-
ed as the schooling of the people in
free government enabled them to con-
Sll uSC 81 udl1oA MuOSO very
lay in its power to purify itself. No
class of individuals nor no combina-
ton of interests have ever been able
to prosper at the expense of the gov
eminent. Slavery existed until the
people deemed the time ripe for its
destruction and then the nation purg-
ed itself of the curse and while the
surgeons knife seemed likely to
cause the death of the patient, the
nation emerged stronger, purer and
better than before. 1t is this feature
which makes this government the ad-
miration of the world and the envy
of the lovers of liberty everywhere.
1t is this feature of our nations life
which will be emphasized and exem-
plified in the conduct of the great
national exposition whose doors swing
open and whose vast completely of
machinery was set in motion by the
nations chief today.
