CIIY sCHOOLs
To Start Monday, Sept. 9, With
Fine Prospects.

The city schools will not begir
with the FIRST Monday in Sep.
tember this year on account oi
Labor Day and to give a weeh
longer vacation.
The arrangement Of teachers
Is somewhat changed. Prof
Leedy win have the East school
and Prof. VanBenthusen will be
principal Of the West building.
He will also teach few high
school studies.
In the resignation of Miss Su.
san Haswell, the English teach.
er, the vacancy was filed with
Miss Julia Flammang, who, it is
thought win give satisfaction.
She had a grade class TO teach
which has not as yet been filed
by a substitute.
The subjects in the High
School, Of history, the sciences
and some mathematics win go to
Prof. Smith. Miss Flammang
viii teach German and English.
The teachers viii have the class
es divided so as to have an ex-
ira teacher over the library all
the time. OF course, some
change win probably be made
yet but all bids fair to have a
tine term Of school the ensuing
year. A good enrolment is ex-
pected and the demand for grad
yates has caused many TO start
10 school before the chance slip
ped past. Our schools are a
necessity and it behooyes every
taxpayer to praise the work that
has been done in the past as an
evidence of their appreciation.

Must Raise Many Cro,.,

Twenty years ago hundreds of North
Dakota farmers bought butter. eggs
and even potatoes aud cabbages at the
village stores, but they were not real
farmers. merely wheat raisers. They
depended entirely upon one crop. and
when that failed, distress followed.
James ]. Hill quickly taught them the
folly Of that kind Of farming, and to-day
the States diversified crops are equal
to those Of any other Northern State.
The educational movement was not
that Mr.. Hill had any love for the
farmers then, nor has now. but he had
big railway to feed and was forced
to teach the farmer how to produce the
freight Now the experiment stations
are carrying on the education COM
menced by Mr.. Hill and are doing II
better.

viii DoubIe-Track Line to the
Pacific Coast.
AS a result of his trip throughout
the northwest, and owing to his un-
bounded faith in the continued pros
rerity of the country, E. H. Hartman
has approved plans for spending be-
tween $75,OO0.O00 and $1OO,OOO,OOO to
complete what he believes to be the
best double-track Unconstitutional
railway system in the country.
His plan contemplates the construc-
ton of a low-grade, double-track rail-
way from Chicago to the Pacific coast
at San Francisco, Portland and Seat
tie. and its operation over the noun
tain sections by electricity generated
by water power from the Rockies and
the Sierras.
The completion of this enterprise
practically will have the effect OF add
ing three single-track roads so far as
capacity to handle tonnage is con-
cerned, to the transcontinental sys-
TENS.

How to Apply rertiliser,,

Should fertilizer be applied In the
hills or broadcast? 1t may not be a
mistake to apply very little over each
hill as starter" but 1t Is better to
broadcast. All fertilizer must be dis.
solved before 1t can be utilized, and
the greater the surface over which It
is spread the more water 1t will re-
ceive. The roots Of nearly all plants
spread and grow near the surface, and
have as great feeding capacity of from
the plants as near them. To apply fer
tilizer in the hills is to concentrate it.
and much Of 1t will be unused or lost.
The best results are obtained when 1t
is distributed over the surface and har.
