asked to contribute a certain definite amount per lot and the club undertook to set the trees and give them two years care.
 This plan, however, met with the ob- jection that nonresident lot owners were not reached or might shirk their duties in this regard, and finally 1t was decided that movement through the Board of City Trustees would be most effective, as the cost of tree planting might then be assessed against each lot and made a lien in case it was not paid.
 In order to avoid any possibility for future legal entanglements, City At torney Conkling advised the trustees that a special election should be called on this question. ~
 The City Trustees have appointed as the election board:
 Inspectors, Albert Durham and Ches- ter Bryan; judges, W. B. Gibson and w. s. Ballard; clerks, John F. Monroe and Sam. Rottman; ballot clerks, J. A. Mixer and A. P Nuffer.

SHALL Il CENTRO

 Trustees

Shall the city of El Centro come un- der and be governed by provisions of an act of the Legislature of the State of California approved March, 1893, en- titled An act to provide for the plant ing, maintainance and care of shade trees upon streets, lanes, alleys, courts and places within municipalities, and all hedges upon the lines thereoof; al- so the eradication of certain weeds within the city limits?'

 The original plan was to carry on this work through special committee on tree planting selected by the Ten Thousand Club. Lot owners were

POSTS MADE DURABLE
Woods Given Sixteen Years. Addi-
tiOnal Service by Preservative.

t1Onal Service by PreSerVatiVe.
Fence posts of many kinds of
cheap woods which ordinarily
would soon decay if set in the
ground can be made to last
for twenty years by a simple
treatment with cresote. Most
OF the so-called inferior"
woods are we'll adapted to the
treatment and this is especially
true of cottonwood, aspen,
willow, sycamore low grade
pines, and some of the gums.
When properly treated, these
woods outlast untreated cedar
and oak, which are becomin g
too scarce and too much in
demand for other uses to allow
of their meeting the demand
for fence posts.
The price of cresote is about
10 to u cents per gallon. The
cost of treating post will
therefore vary from 4 to 10
cents. Properly treated, it
should give service for at least
twenty years. Hereby there
would be a saving of 2 cents
on each post yearly.

Hard Times In the East.

Rugby Tribune: Different
parties returning from visits
further east this winter have
told us that the people of North
Dakota, and especially this
portion of North Dakota, do
not know the meaning of hard
times. Nlr. Toner, who return
ed last week from a visit to his
home in southern Minnesota,
stated to us that the people of
that locality were in great deal
worse circumstances than the
people here, and that compara-
lively, we are enjoying the best
of times. Jos. Fahrnkopf, who
just returned yesterday from a
visit to his home in Michigan,
and who also visited at Chic
ago, tells us that in Chicago he
saw thousands of men around
the newspaper offices looking
for work, and there seemed to
be an air of hard times nearly
every place he went. Another
gentleman, living near Souris,
and who has been at Chicago
and other eastern points, told
us this morning of similar
conditions to those above de-
scribed, and when we consider
these things, we may we'll con-
gratulate ourselves that we are
living in Dakota, the state of
No. 1 hard wheat, banana-belt
weather, and where the real
genuine hard times conditions
never reaches us to the extent
that it does the people in the
more thickly settled districts of
the eastern states, where SO
many people live high while
they are enjoying prosperity,
and do not lay any spare funds
for a rainy day. North Dakota
is indeed the banner state of
the Union. You say 80, we say
so, everybody says 50.

COMMENDS CHRISTENSEN
Agricultural College Newspaper Com.
pliments Superintendent.

pllMenCS superintendent.
The Extension, the official
newspaper of the North Dakota
Agricultural college has t h e
following complimentary men
ton of County Superintendent
P. E. Christensen:
"Of all the ways of arous in G
interest in the science of agri-
culture, and the application of
science to daily needs the most
far-reaching way is to enlist
t he public schools. Superin-
tendent p. E. Christensen of
Bottineau county is encourage
ing the study of elementary
agriculture in the schools of
his county. Mr.. Christensen
recently sent to Mr.. G. w.
Randlett, superintendent o f
the correspondence course in
agriculture, a list of the names
of all the teachers in Bottineau
county with the request that
they be offered enrolment in
the correspondence course. A
number of the teachers have
already enrolled.
If county and city super
intendents and school directors
would encourage the teachers
in country and city schools to
prepare themselves for tn e
teaching of elementary agri-
culture, the teachers would not
be slow to respond.
Elementary agriculture as a
study is broadly significant, for
it goes to give the pupil a
scientific view of all his sur
roundings and to make h m
actively intelligent in regard
to nearby materials for study.
It offsets textbook Journalism
with organized common sense.
For any occupation the child
could receive no better early
training. Every child, whether
he is to remain on the farm
or not, should be trained to
observe and love nature and
learn how to think in the ways
of science.

graphers, but in the three
years of government protec-
ton, the number of birds has
reased in surprising
degree and has reached almost
the record previous to the
wholesale destruction. The
shores of this lake as we'll as
the islands are of a character
unsuited to cultivation though
we'll adopted to bird life and
it is in these waste places in
town and country tn at tn e
greatest opportunities for civic
improvement bO tn national
and local may be found.
An area some sixty miles
long in the region known as
the Turtle mountains, is one
which should, in part at least,
be made a state or national
preserve, as it is a place where
birds from all points of the
compass, the Atlantic, tn e
Pacific, the tropics and the
arctic regions meet on common
ground. There is possibly no
other spot on this continent
where birds of such widely
separate climes are to be found
at the same season. Our state
is in many ways unique in it's
bird life and in order to protect
and encourage these birds,
more trees and protected nest
ing places are necessary. Enos
A. Mills pointed out in his
lecture in this city that the
two greatest and cheapest
beautifiers of city and country
home alike, are the trees and
the birds. In large measure
they are inseparable since but
few birds live away from trees
on tn e unsheltered priarie.
while all trees are dependent
upon bird life for protection
from rodents in their young
days and from insects as they
grow larger.'

Supreme Court Holds Grain Inspec-

of the state of North Dakota
a e ain t the Minneapolis &
Northern Elevator Co., tn e
state supreme court has handed
down two decisions. Judge
Pollock s decision is affirmed
in one case and reversed in the
other. ...
The action was brought by
the state to force the elevator
companies to return the certifi-
Gates of inspection and weight
and post them in a conspicu-
Gus place in the elevator where
the wheat was loaded. The
case was tried last year.
Judge Pollock held that the
law was valid and that the GER
tifcates must be returned. In
the case where wheat was ship
ped to Duluth his decision was
held valid, but in his decision
that the certificates must be re-
turned on wheat that was ship
/ ped to Anoka, where there is
no grain inspector, the sup
RENE court held the law in
valid.

FOR BIRD PRESERVE
Turtle Mountain Regions, where

A member of the Grand
Forks Audubon society writes
the Times as follows:
The recent visit of Alfred
Eastgate of the Stump Lake
government preserve reminds
us that the national govern
ment has given us an example
within our own state of one
kind of civic activity in setting
aside for the many species of
rare birds which breed there
a safe home during the nesting
season. A few years ago the
islands of this lake were al
most depopulated by thought
less sportsmen and phoot t.

a ND yet there are persons who constantly
~ clamor against the state of things.
They call it aristocracy. They expect the
poor to make war upon the rich, while in
truth they know not who are either rich or
poor. They all complain of oppression, spe-
culation, and the pernicious influence of ac-
cumulated wealth. They cry out loudly
against all banks and corporations and all
the means by which small capitals become
united in order to produce important and
beneficial results. They carry on a mad
hostility against all established institutions.
They would choke up the fountains ofindus-
try and dry all it's streams. In a country of
unbounded liberty they clamor against op-
preston. In country of perfect equality
they would move heaven and earth against
privilege and monopoly. In a country where
property is more equally divided than any
where else they rend the air with the shout
ing of agrarian doctrines. In country
where the wages of labor are high beyond
all parallel, and where lands are cheap and
the means of living low, they would teach
the ]aborer that he is but an oppressed slave.
