own easy manner for nearly an
hour, spoke of the temptations
that would be met by those just
entering upon life's stormy path
ways, and the powers necessary to
resist them at all times, and show
ed very plainly that if they would
accomplish life's noblest purposes
it must be done by overcoming
these evil influences, rather than
being overcome by them; The ad-
dress was listened to with marked
attention from beginning to end,
and many rejoiced at the oppor-
tunity of listening again to their
former pastor, while the entire
class realized that they had heard
those things which would be a
help to them in coming years.

pairing to take their departure.
One boat took on 1O8 tons Of
feed that will be used for the
horses that are employed in the

are nearly a hundred cars standing
on the track waiting to be unload
ed. About seventy-five men are
employed and there is more activi-
ty along the river than has been
noted for a number Of years past.
There are several boats that
have been brought up from the
south to help out the local boats
in the work for the season. One
boat from Sioux City recently ar
rived and one from Terre Haute,
Ind, arrived Sunday Tribune.

HIGH SCHOOL
HAS FIELD MEET
Many Good Records are
Made at Their First
Meet Friday
Will Try to Send a Team
to the State High
School Meet

The first field meet ever given in
Washburn under school auspices
was held at the ball park last Fri
day. The boys worked with a
good will, but lack of practice and
training was shown.
The so yard and 100 yard dashes
were won by Burgum, time 81 and
LIZ respectively. August Breen
easily won the 22O yard run. Cur
7ier easily passed all competitors
in the one.half mile run, but the
time was slow. The pole vault
was won by Homer Wallin. Han
son won first place in the stand
ing broad jump at 8 feet, 9 inches.
Nygaerd was the winner in the
running broad jump; the distance
was IA feet 3 inches. Much in
terest was taken in the l2O yard
hurdle. Yanken ran we'll but fell
on the seventh hurdle. Burgum
made all Of the hurdles and won.
The boys hope to have one of the
teachers coach them little next
year so they can smash the poor
marks of this year, and probably
will try to send team to the state
high school meet.
At the state high school meet
held at Grand Forks last Satur-
day the following records were
made: Shot put, 80 #. Sc in; so

here Tuesday on his way to Mi
not to look after business matters.
He expects to make a trip west to
the coast soon.

oil.
P. D. Podhola left Wednesday

prospects for a good crop and the
dealers in dirt are now anticipat-
ing a good season for their busi-
ness.

CLIPPINGS OUT
OF EXCHANGES
A Goodrich Man Gets
Good Prices For Cattle
Sold Last Week
w. M. Konmerstad Will
Become the Editor of
the Banner
Goodrich Citizen.

Gottlieb Mauch purchased from
Jack Davies, of several miles south
of this place, this week, nine head
of cattle for which Mr.. Mauch
paid 1866. Five of the bunch
we're steers and averaged $1,000 a
piece. Stock raising in this Sec
tion of the country is a renumer-
ative branch of farming and
most of the farmers are awake to
the fact. Mr.. Mauch bought the
stock mentioned above for his
market here.
Miss Selma Anderson is taking
a short vacation from her duties as
telephone operator in the local ex-
change and is spending it visiting
with relatives and friends at Rol-
log, MINI. She will also visit at
Underwood before returning. Miss
Stella Lorentzson is filling her
place at the switchboard during
her absence.
w. M. Kommerstad, late of Web
len, S. D., arrived here last Thurs
day and on Friday morning in
company with Editor Burt drove
to Hurdsfeld to look over the
plant of the aurdsfeld Banner
Enterprise with a view of buying
that paper. He was satisfied with
the location and has made the pur-
chase of the same. He will take
charge of that paper the first of
June. Until that time he is help
ing out in the Citizen office.

Big Land Frauds.

From the western part of the
state it is announced that many
commuted proofs are being held
up says the Forum. This is espec-
tally true of the Minot and Willis
ton districts. There is no doubt
that,,many fraudulent final proofs
have been made. They are less
numerous now than in former
years-but almost every resident
of the state can recall some &C.
quaintance who acquired 100 acres
of Uncle Sans soil without COM
plying with the laws-either in let
ter or spirit.
10 Offset this-the people of the
state have been up against some
hard propositions. In the days of
President Cleveland Commissioner
Sparks retarded progress by a
lot Of red tape idiocy and sus-
picions of fraud. In those days
the special examiners and land
Office people evidently classified
every homesteader as crook till
he proved otherwise.
More recently great annoyance
was caused bona fde homesteaders
in North Dakota and other states
through the ruling on Ignite coal
lands. Through the efforts of the
North Dakota and other western
members Of congress this was re-
scinded and final proofs permitted.
Now, it is asserted another era
of suspicion and mistrust has been
developed by the government as
evidenced by the wholesale hold
ing up of proofs. While there will
be general appreciation of any
movement that will detect and pun
ish land frauds-the people of the
state will regret if drastic methods
are used in cases of Legitimate sett-
lers. Any unnecessary delay or
additional expense in fighting for
their rights through special hear
ings will be unfair and'unjust.

To Open Fl. Berthon Reservation,

Preliminary steps with view
to opening the northeastern por.
ton Of the Fort Berthold Indian
reservation were taken this week

Secretary Ballinger ofthe interior

an early opening Of the above
named reservation. Although no.
thing definite has been agreed up
on, IL is understood that Secre-
tary Ballinger will make his atti-
tude known esfly. next week.
The Berthold reservation en-
braces nearly 100000 acres Of
land Of which about 500, 600 is in.

A petition has been presented
to the Johns Lake town board
for a public road on the east side
of Johns Lake. This is one OF
the main roads from the south
leading to McC Clusky, and with a
little work on the Baldwin hill it
will make a valuable improvement
for the farmers down that way.

CLEAN bad SPOTS :
Violations Of the Prohibition Law VIII be
Stopped BY Attorney General Miller

Attorney General Miller intends
to see that the law is enforced as
will be seen in the following arti-
Gle taken from the Minneapolis
journal:
SHERIFF. of several counties in
North Dakota are promised atten-
tion in a shoft time by Atty. Gen
eral Andrew Miller, who is the
Nemesis Of the illegal liquor trade
in that state. Discussing law en-
forcement with the journal repre-
sentative, Mr.. Miller announced
that he would move in short
time against the sheriffs Of coun-
ties where violations of the law
are most fragrant.
''The state legal department has
been crowded with other work
since l took hold the first of the
year," said Mr.. Miller, 'sbut 1 will.
take some active steps very soon
to stop violations Of the law in
the few bad spots of the state: At
present I have but one assistant,
but the legislature has provided
another for me, who. will begin
work July 1st, and then T will
have more time to organize the
special work of enforcing the
liquor laws. I am arranging now
for the appointment of special as
sistants in several counties, where
the local authorities are neglect.
ing to act.
Does prohibition prohibit in
North Dakota now? Well, pro-
hibition is a relative term. There
is no question about the. wisdom
of the law and the possibility of
its reasonable enforcement, except
In spots where the officials them-
selves are in sympathy with the
violators Of the law, or even inter
ested in The business. 1 suppose
the worst spot in the state is right
in Bismarck, where Sheriff D. j..
McGillis utterly fails or refuses to
stop the illegal trade, and where
the blind piggers pay no attention
to injunctions. Dickinson is: in
good shape now, and that section
in general, and conditions in the
state as a whole are 100 per cent
better than they were two years
ago. Outside Of Burleigh the
worst counties in the state are
Logan, Mcintosh, Rolette and
Cavalier, and l am effecting or
carnations in each of those coua-
ties by the appointment OF special
assistants. After July l, { will
be able to give them more person
al attention. The great difficulty
is to find competent men who are
willing to do the work.
I'VE are badly crippled by the
independence of sheriffs. Our law
does not give the governor power
to remove a sheriff for malfeasancelI
or nonfessance. He can only be
removed from Office by the court
and after a jury trial Il is ex-
tremely hard TO get q jury that
