The picture now embraced high, noun

smiling man who could not eat nor drink

ing alone along the beach in the rain, still

smiling; and later with his clothing in

sailed his ship into Melbourne with his

alluded to the unfortunate happening that

Panama, April 9.-The meeting
called by the government to discuss
the boundary question between Co
lombia and Panama and the o2cupa.
tion of the town of Jurado by Colon
bian troops, was held at the presiden'
tial palace today. 1t was attended by

were read explaining the stand that
has been taken by the Panama gov

Colombia and the refusal of Panama
to accept the boundary proposed by
Colombia.
The general opinoin expressed at
the meeting was that the United States
government cannot refuse to comply
with it's obligations as specified in the
canal treaty to guarantee Panama s
integrity, which is now menaced, and
compel Colombia to evacuate Jurado
and submit the whole matter to arbi

SCHOOL TEACHER

Towner, N. D., April 3.-To the
Tribune: Running for office and at
tempting to attend to editorial du-
ties seem to be altogether too much
for the editors up this way. The
latter aspirations seem to occupy
most of their attention, SO they don't
give much heed to some matters go
ing on right here at home.
For instance: Tackled on the door
of the pesthouse is sign Scarlet
fever" and another s.diphtheria. !"
This building is directly across the
street from the "would-be county
judge and only two doors from the
"want-to-be railroad commissioner, .
This would lead one to believe there
were at least two rooms in the build
ing and one or more patients in each.
but investigation would show that
there is only one small school teach
in the structure. There is simply a
quarrel among the physicians as to
what is the disease, and neither will
take down his sign, and thus it has
stood for week. This is so close
to the editors that they neglect to
see the cards and the humor Of the
situation-to all except the Door lit.

Through Efforts Of CONNER.
Cial Club Large Territory
Is Tributary to City
Arrangements Being Made
for Free Market Days
on Large Scale

Through the efforts of the Bis
marck Commercial club all that ter
ritory south and west of the river
will be brought into close touch and
made tributary to Bismarck.
This has been brought about by
the establishment of ferry across
the Missouri river at point about
eight miles south of the city.
For number of months the Com
mercial club has been working on
this project and it is now an estab-
lished fact and the people of Bis
marck will fully appreciate this
good work on the part of this bust
ness mems association.
The announcement Of the success
full issue of this matter was made at
the Commercial club meeting held
Friday night. An arrangement has
been made with Capt. Grant Marsh
to run the ferry, which will be a
traction ferry, augmented by his
gasolene launch on windy days. The
Commercial club has built house
boat for living quarters for the cap
tain and the ferry will be placed in
operation as soon as the ice goes
out.
The ferry will be at the old cross
ing until such time as the farmers
on the other side of the river can
grade an approach to the new cross
ing. Today President Conklin and
Secretary Young will make trip in
to the southern part Of Morton
county and advise the farmers of the
new ferry and otherwise push the
matter.
A committee of three members of
the club was appointed to wait upon
the capitol commission and urge the
parking of the capitol grounds along
lines taken up with the last admins
tration, but which have been lying
dormant since then.
The matter of resuming the mark
ct days was taken up and fully dis
cused with the result that a commit
tee will be appointed to take hold Of
the proposition and arrange for a
series of market days during the
warm months. A number of conven-
fences for farmers and their wives
who will bring in produce for sale

GOOD Things IN N. D.
THE scHAFER RECORD TELLS
WHY PEOPLE OF OTHER STATES

WEALTH.


ARE COMING TO THIS COMMON
WEALTH.
Schafer Record: When the crea-
tor made North Dakota, he made it
great and stocked it with strong
points, made it a veritable store
house of good things wherein could
be found in abundance everything
conducive to the health and COM
fort of man and beast. There are
twenty-five thousand square miles
of 1ignie COAL hundred of acres I'M
derlaid with clays for manufacturing
brick; tons upon tons Of material
for the constructing of homes and
buildings. Scratch the soil and the
finest crops spring up; thrust a
shrub in the earth and it bears
fruit; dig in the sides Of the hills
and they yield up their stores of
that which makes home comfortable
during the long winter months.
Turn loose your cattle upon the
brosd prairies and they fatten upon
the nutritious native grasses. In
the western part of the state the
farmers go out with their mowers
in the summer time and cut tons of
most excellent native hay Nature
intended North Dakota. For a great
stock center. Where do you find
any better cattle, horses, sheep,
hogs? Where is there a region bet
ter adapted for dairy purposes? ?
We know all these things and appre-
ciate them and it is with glow of
satisfaction that we repeat them
and we sometimes wonder why the
people Of other state do not come,
see and partake of the good things
which we North Dakotans have to
offer them. But the people of other
states are beginning to learn of
these facts, and are acquiring know
ledge of our treasures and are max
ing preparations to come and en-
Joy with us the good things the Al
mighty has provided. Investors and
homeseekers are becoming acquaint-
ed with these facts and are coming
on almost every train that crosses
the North Dakota line.

COL. v. F. STEWARTIRI
BANISHED TO ARIZONA
OLD COAST ARTILLERY OFFICER
ASSIGNED FORT GRANT.
AS TO WHY THE
OFFICER HAS BEEN REMOVED.

Washington, April 3.-The suppo-
sititious case of Philip Nolan, "the
man without country" is recalled
in the assignment of Col. William
F. Stewart of the Coast Artillery
Corps to the command of Fort Grant,
Ariz., former army post which has
been abandoned for many years
Actual exile, such as might have been
ordered by kingly decree a hundred
years ago, is Col. Stewards portion.
1t is needless to tell anybody who
knows anything about geography
that the coast artillery has no con-
nection with desert and deserted
army post hundreds of miles from
the nearest blue water. But Col.
Stewart is there, and the war depart
ment records credit him with being
in command.
There is something of mystery
behind this official NARROWING of an
| old soldier who has served forty
two years in the army. Investiga-
ton developed, however, that he had
been sent to Fort Grant, or what
once was Fort Grant, by the personal
direction of President Roosevelt on
the recommendation of the War De-
partment.
The records of the Department
show that Col. Stewart was detached
from command of Fort Barancas,
Fla, on October 2, 1907, and orders
given him, never officially promul-
gated, to assume command of the
Arizona desert post.
An officer of the military establish
ment in a position to speak with au-
thority said that Col. Stewards as
signment was "for good and suffici-
ent military reasons" No further
details of an authoritative character
were given, but it was explained I'M
officially by officers who knew some
thing of the case that. the Depart
ment had regarded Col. Stewart as a
trouble maker and disturbing ele-
ment at posts where he had served.
He had had many difficulties with
officers in the service.
Meanwhile Col. Stewart is ma
rooned at Fort Grant at command
consisting of cook, caretaker and
! perhaps a striker or two. He is
| likely to stay there until somebody
in Congress demands the facts OF
| his case.
| A suggestion of the reason for the
| exile of Col. Stewart is found in the
knowledge obtained to-day that he
| refused to take advantage of an op.
portunity to retire under the thirty
years service law, but insisted on
| sticking to the army until he reached
the statutory age of retirement
He will not reach the retirement age
of "a years until July 10, 1913, but
the President has authority to place
him on the retired list on his sixty
second birthday.
Col. Stewart entered the army jus
after the close of the civil war as .
Second Lieutenant of the Fourth Ar

will be provided and cash prizes Of
fered for the best in all lines of ag-
ricultural and dairy products so that
not only will the good wife of the
farmer be able to sell her farm wares
at a goot price, but will have a
chance to compete for a substantial
piece of money with others, and the
farmers will compete in the same
way for the genuine long green.
The club is very much in earnest in
this matter and the merchants pres
ent expressed a determination to
enter into the scheme and help with
special bargains on those days to
the end that eventually the market
days will be bright spots in each
month to the farmer and the trades
man.
