Ina high school there is not only an
opportunity to obtain the best prepare
tion for college but also an opportunity
to secure good business education or
to acquire the elements of a good gen.
eral education. The training given in a
course in high school not only increases
the power to earn money but also en-
larges the capacity for happiness and de-
yelops character. 1t pays the employer.
More and better work is done. 1t pays
the public. Service is more efficient.
Money spent in getting an education
will not 60 for drink, will not be lost in
gambling, will not disappear in specula-
ton. 1t will prove perpetual blessing
to the son or daughter who has been
trained to know and appreciate true
worth.
Only in high school do most Ameri-
can youths have an opportunity to form
correct habits of study, learn the bene-
fits of higher education, or acquire the
strength that will enable them to win in
the contest with the increasing number
of skilled workers. Since this is the day
of scientifically trained specialists, a
course in high school giving ample fit
ness should be completed as prepara-
ton for higher scientific training.
Competition is still the law of life. In
life's battle the contest is strong and
sharp. The boys and girls now in school
will soon be placed side by side with
those who have trained themselves for
the struggle. They will soon realize the
decided advantage others have over
those less completely equipped. Per-
haps they have seen young man or a
young woman who could not write or
spell. or frame good English sentence.
Society does not excuse them. They
need not apply.
The demands in every walk in life for
men and women educated beyond the
elementary school course are increasing
daily. The boy or girl with high school
education has a larger opportunity and
is much more likely to succeed. Some
of the largest business houses in Amer
ica have announced that only those who
have an education equal to that given by
good high school will be employed.
A high school education pays the most
abundant dividends. 1t is not what a
boy saves before he is twenty.one that

ing. himself to do'after he Is twenty.one

tions in the state are in the hands of the
Dakota Land & Cattle Co., Messrs. Rich

having third interest.
The company own three and one-half
sections in 1896 on Spring Greek south
east Of Kildeer. Here they already
have erected permanent dam in sec.

ter to thoroughly irrigate 600 acres of as
beautiful valley land as can be found
anywhere. The water above the dam
now stands fifteen feet deep. Irriga-
ting bitches have been constructed and
all is in readiness to turn the water on as
soon as the law is complied with in
making formal demand for a certain
amount of water. State Engineer Atkin-
son is expected in the city today-Satur-

and Frye to this new irrigation project
and complete the necessary legal details
The company has $50 acres now in crop
and is harvesting macaroni wheat that
will go IS bushels to the acre and oats
that will thresh out 40 bushels. This is
the yield without irrigation.
On Crooked creek at the old Blatehlev
place, this same company has another
three and one-half sections and three
miles of this winding creek through an
other. fine valley. Spring flooding is
practiced on this farm and the heavy
stands of wheat, fax, oats and blue grass
attest the owners good judgment in
selecting land where such flooding is
possible. Cattle from the Spring creek
farm are thrown to the Crooked creek

up for them. The Dakota people have
another good thing in 400 acres of land
on Cherry creek, northwest of Kildeer.
In 1885 Messrs. Richards and Jefferies
and Chase and Frye purchased &c.
600 acres of land southeast of Kildeer
at $I.7o per acre. After thus showing
their faith in the country and holding
the land six years they sold 1900 acres to
the Fertile Valley Land Co. of Perry,

to await the sure development of that

EDITOR PRESS:-At meeting of the
county commissioners in April, petition
was presented asking for new road
commencing at the north end of Sims
street and running north to north line of
section 81, township I4o, range o6, thence
northwest to section line running north.
The object of leaving out the new road
was to cut out all the bad hills on the
section line and have good road lead
ing into town from the north. The peti-
tion was tavorably considered by the
commissioners and the auditor was in
structed to ascertain the amount of COM
pensation the land owners. would want
for right OF way. These land owners
we're 80 unreasonable to their demands
and the county commissioners not car

gave it up and called for bids, for cutting
down the Cuskelly hill. The city engin-
Ger estimates that it will cost $4,000. to
cut six feet Of the top Of this bill and
suggested that the road be carried around

This section of North Dakota has not
been the scene of any large irrigation
project like that on the Yellowstone, or
at Williston, or, even like that proposed
tor Bismarck and few people know that
much is being done in quiet way to
conserve the moisture and increase the
productiveness of the Slope counties.
State Engineer T. R. Atkinson was in
the city Monday and talked interesting.
ly OF what is being done by his depart
ment.
South of Dickinson on Grand river a
project is begun which will be complet-
ed IN about year which will furnish
storage of water for 10000 acres and, in
especially wet seasons, for 10000 acres.
At Washburn 1000 acres are being re-
claimed and the value increased many
fold.
At Williston the heavy spring rains
caused the people to think they did not
need water from the bitches and, not un-
til the hot weather the early part of July,
did they decide that they wished to avail
themselves of water users rights. They
all wanted water at once and what should
have been distributed over. { longer per-
iod of time was demanded in few days.
The plant was not equal to this unequal
distribution OF work and it is likely that
another year the farmers will be ready
to take water before they come to the
emergency point. ~
Mr.. Atkinson says there is wheat along
the Williston bitches that will 20 fully
forty bushels to the acre and oats that
will yield eighty to ninety bushels. The
farmers are already beginning to see
that they cannot farm large irrigated
areas and Mr.. Atkinson believes that
they will come to take ten-acre tracts
and learn to farm intensively.
Acontrast to the irrigation work being
done by the state department is the
drainage work needed in parts of Nc
Henry and Bottineau counties. The
Mouse river for some forty miles spreads
out to width of half mile and for a
few miles takes a sluggish course over
the Canadian border but re-enters this
state. After the spring rains all this
tract-25.ooo acres-becomes lake and
remains too wet to be of any practical
value until almost winter. The reclama-
tion drainage work will require some two
years for completion. and just now is at
standstill owing to delay. in securing
the cooperation of the Canadian gov
eminent for that part of the Mouse val
ley which is over the line. Tits thought

VICTIM CT CONSCIENCE.
Woman Played by Carrie Nation End
Her Life.

Des Moines.-Shamed in public by
Carrie Nation, Mrs. Ann d. Sperry
("Vernie Dawson") killed herself at
21O East Court avenue at midr& ght
after an evening of the widest rev.
elry.
She left the dance hall in the midst
of the orgy and took number of
mercury tablets. Her companions
suspected her intention from the man
ner in which she has been brooding
over Mrs. Nations reproaches and
followed her to her room There
they found her lying on the bed, al
ready losing consciousness Dr.
Welpton was summoned, but by the
time he arrived, the poison had gone
into her system. She lived until g
O'Clock, and before she died told the
inmates of the house that she had
kidnapped her two small children from
the Davenport Childrens home two
weeks ago.
Before she could tell their address,
she died.
The woman was divorced from her
husband in Galesburg H., recently
and he was given the custody of the
children.
When Carrie Nation made her night
visit to the houses of i'll fame on her
Chautauqua trip to Des Moines she
singled out VERNE Dawson for Wit
riolic censure and calle1 on her to
reform. The girl sobbed at the time
and left the room, afterwards, it is
said, sending for Mrs. Nation to tell
her her troubles.
The woman was IS years old and
had been in the resort only a short
time.
