One of the duties devolving upon
the delegates to the approaching Re-
publican county convention will be
the election Of chairman of the
county committee. 1t is safe to say
that but one name will be proposed
that of w. H. Bigelow, of this city,
the present popular chairman. His
election by reclamation will be a
compliment we'll bestowed.

short OF water, and still gives away this
product, which the Board is called upon TO
furnish.

this year to provide means to procure the

new wells

Board OF Public Works
Gentlemen:
Your committee to which was referred the
matter OF investigating the raising the water
from the wells drilled last year thereby max
ing them available for The season now opened
would report that in their opinion the only
practical way OF pumping the same Is by com
pressed air, as by this method all labor can be
employed, no extra help being required after
system is installed.
Approximate bids were received by the COM
mittee which show that a complete system can
mum OF $4,000.
The $1,000 provides however that the city
must take the water nom the wells and convey
the same to the intake pipe near the spring
which would require from $50 to 1000 feet or
iron pipe at an estimated cost of 81 90 per foot
besides special valves and etc. Your commit
tees woulo therefore recommend that steps be
taken To procure (according to charter) com
plete air pumping system to be installed as
soon as possible.
The question OF funds to mairtain tho plant

CHRISTMAS TREES
By the Train Load Being Shipped to the

During that portion of the year when people yearn for nice walk the cemetery is usually their objective point All year it has been kept in manner that made every citizen proud of it and the cemetery association has been generously supported and the work has therefore been easy for the officers, but now that holiday festivities have the preference and the weather does not make it agreeable to stroll there is temporary lack Of in- terest that makes it hard for the association to meet the expenses. The officers therefore request the prompt payment of any as- sistance promised them. These sums can be left with Mrs. w. T. Hart, president, or Mrs. E k, Armistead treasurer.

District court will convene in this
county January 20 and on the after
noon Of January III, the committee of
the bar association of this district,
consisting of Hon.. George w. Newton,
Hon. E. A. Williams and Hon. w. F.
Cochrane, will present resolutions, ex-
pressing the sentiments of the bar in
the matter of the recent death of
Alexander Hughes. The resolutions
will probably be presented by Mr..
Newton, as chairman of the commit
tee, and addresses will be made by
the members of the committee, by
Judge Winchester and other members
of the bar. The afternoon will be

Tribune is not altogether in sympa-
they with the logic that would excuse
the man and blame the liquor. In a
great many of these cases of murder,
the seeds of the crime are within the
man who commits it. But, lacking
either in moral or physical courage
to carry out the crime he contem-
plates, he has recourse to liquor ito
NERVE" him up for the job. Murder
committed in drunken frenzy, in
which the crime follows Immediately
upon anger and an insane impulse, is
of different type from the murder
that needs liquor only as an agent to
give the murderer courage for the ac-
tual commission of the crime that is
contemplated and premeditated when
sober. The liquor evil is bad-the
evil of it's indiscriminate sale to boys
and men is bad, but let us not forget
that the criminal instinct that search
es for liquor as sSbracer" is not with
out its necessity for suppression and
punishment.

THINKS Things
ARE DIFFERENT

A gentleman of this city whose
hair has grown gray with years and
who has seen much of the history
which the younger generation is today
learning from their school books in
regard to this country. remarked the
other day on some of the changes
which the last several years have
wrought in certain lines. For instance
seventy years ago, there were few, if
any, millionaires in this country, as
We term them today. There was real
ly no "aristocracy,'' as there is now.
Work was ennobling and was so con
sidered by all with few exceptions
The exceptions were not noted for
sound judgment and practical COM
mon sense. NO young man then, if
he amounted to anything, considered
it degrading to have to buckle down
to hard work of any kind, so long
as it gave honorable employment.
How different today! To be sure
there are lot of good sensible young
men today who are willing to grasp
anything that will help pay expenses
and advance their interests financial
ly or that will widen their grasp on
practical affairs.
It is also true that on certain street
corners of nearly every village, town
or, city certain young men and half
grown boys congregate nightly to idle
and carouse and to indulge in vile
language and viler thoughts. They
rtmind one of so many insects about
street lamp. These are the persons
who are ashamed to indulge in honest
toll unless it be something very easy
and which they can esteem as very
refined.
1t is pity that a community must
be made to endure characters of this
kind, but there seems to be no gett
ing away from them so long as faith.
ers and mothers allow their children
to run the streets at night The fault
to begin with is clearly with the par
ents in ninety-nine cases out of ev
cry hundred Children properly
brought up will be the kind of child
rem who will not be afraid to sol
| their hands by honest toll so LONG
as it leads to their advancement in
their chosen lines.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-01-05

The promotion of Fred Conklin to
the presidency of the Commercial
Club is no less to the credit of the
club than the selection of Mr.. F. E.
Young as secretary to fill the place
made vacant by Mr.. Conklin's eleva-
ton. Mr.. Young is most, thoroughly
qualified, possesses tact and diplo-
macy. AS city auditor he has made
good and the Commercial Club is to
be congratulated on the excellence of
the management from the beginning
of it's existence to the present time.

The Republican seems to have a
very substantial support at Mandan.
The young ladies in many of the
towns are getting busy with leap year
balls
An aged couple have just ce.e-
braed their golden wedding at Hills
boro.
The railroads refusing to issue
passes to anyone will probably make
some of the candidates hot.
The candidacy of Attorney Hanley
of Mandan for judge of the new dis
trict across the river is looming up
some.
Under the new postal ruling the
country editors are preparing "a
make life miserable for the delin-
quent subscribers.
The Braddock News says when the
time comes it will not tbe afraid to
name the men of its choice to fill the
public offices.
Prof. J. G. Halland of the A.. c.,
read paper at the educational meet
ing at Grand Forks that rather
stirred thing up some.
And now the Valley City Patriot is
afraid that Peewee of the Times
Record will claim some day that he
discovered the world.
The financial furry evidently did
mt have much effect on Sheriff Lea's
Institution at Minot. He had 221
prisoners enrolled last year
