The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1909-06-18

The week just drawing to close has
been most eventful one for the proud
and prosperous little city of Bowbells,
and that our people, cne and all, have
reason to be proud and to throw bou-
quets one to the other, not person Of
the thousands gracing our streets with
their presence during the great racing
meet will deny; on the contrary, our
thousands of visitors seemed to unite
in favorable and fiattering comment on
the success of the meeting and were
loud in expressions of approval of the
quiet and orderly manner in which the
immense crowds of people were hand
led throughout the entire three days
meet. Twas simply great, for they
all told The Tribune so, and when every
body is agreed-there's no chance for
argument. The weather conditions
were perfect and everything seemed
con an even keel" for the city to show
to it's best, as we'll as to favor the man
agement of the meeting in their effort
to make the occasion pleasant and en-
joyable for our visitors and one long to
be remembered by them with pleasure.
The city band added life to the occa-
sion and was no small factor in render
ing The days enjoyable, under the able
leadership of Prof. Baker and ass listed
by Messrs.. Stickley of Kenmare and
Melby and Hovland of Coteau, three
most accomplished performers on band
instruments. ~

= Following is the last annual report of
County Superintendent E. G. Warren
to the State Superintendent of Public
instruction and the same is we'll worthy
careful perusal by all having at heart
the best interests of the county from an
educational standpoint:
w. L. Stockwell, Superintendent of
Public instruction, Bismarck, North
Dakota:
Dear Sir: The annual report, hand
ed you herewith, shows hattering de-
velopment along all lines pertaining
to the educational organization of the
county. The conditions are such as to
demand more school h Gus e 8, more
school property and a larger number Of
qualified teachers. The increase in val
uation, number of school children and
school buildings is the natural result of
immigration into a new country. These
favorable conditions, together with the
combined efforts of this office and school
boards, are fast placing Ward county
among the first in the state, education
ally.
Since the last biennial report was
made, the number Of departments has
increased from 315 to 478, an average
of eighty-one year. While this report
shows 478 schools n d departments,
with 491 fall terms, with combined
effort on the part of Ward county peo-
pie, there will be 600 schools before the
the next biennial report is submitted.
Ward county h 8 forty-one railroad
towns, most of which have graded
schools, of from two to ten rooms.
This does not include the Minot special.
While we have only one classified high
school, it is probable that there will be
several within year that can meet re-
quirements and will ask for classifca-
tion. >'- -
The necessity of better trained teach
ers is ever present, and the western
part of the state needs normal school
more and more as time passes. We
sincerely hope that the movement start.

Farmers, Do It Now.

Now is the time to prepare your seed
grain. while you have lot OF grain
on hand you can run it thru the mill
in such way as to get all the large
kernals of all grains that you use.
If you wait until you have only
enough left for seed you haye to be
more careful in cleaning, and as a
rule you get a lot of small kernals in
your seed. 1t stands to reason that
the largest kernals of all kinds OF
seeds are the most viworous and that
is what we need in this country now to
keep up the vitality of the grain, be-
cause the land is not so nutritious as
it has been and it is essential that the
seed be kept in a healthy condition,

A Truthful Assertion.


The worst habit a boy can fall into
is that of loafng around on the streets
at night. It is then they cast their lot
in slippery places when at any mo-
ment they are likely to fall from grace.
All good and noble lessons taught
them by their mothers are there count
eracted and nullifed. They learn no.
thing that is good-but everything bad.
The boys who spend their evenings in
the sacred precients of home with good
books for their companions are the fu-
ture heroes of this republic, they will
fill our halls and sit in judgment upon
men and measures, while the boys who
run the streets will fill our penitentiar-
les, almshouses and lunatic asylums.
Parents who are responsible for these
broken laws of decency will have bro.
ken hearts and bowed down heads in
the awakening years that will newt
ably follow-Ex.

To The Grain Growers

Believing that the Grain Growers of
our state of North Dakota have no
idea or conception of the amount they
are losing each year on ..dockage.will
say we find on close investigation that
the loss each year amounts to the enor-
nous sum of 81, 300, ,0OO. 90 or Sc, 500, 900.
90 for for the past five years.
These screenings are worth from Sl2.
90 to $50. 90 per ton at the Terminal
Markets. They are worth every dollar
as much where they are grown, for
feed purposes. Do not forget the fact
that you pay the freight on these
screenings and deliver them to the
Terminals, both mills and elevators
absolutely free of charge to them, To
move these screenings to Terminals
would require more than 5000 cars OF
30 ton capacity each year. The value
of this product which you have actual
ly given away would have built a
court house and a college at a cost of
about $70,OOO.0O each, within every
county of your state in the last five
years.
We consider the question of dock
age a very grave matter to our Grain
! Growers and for this reson are writ
| ing upon this question at this, time
hoping that this article will give you
some food for thought along lines
that in the near future will greatly ac-
crue to your benefit.

clean every bushel of grain shipped to

dockage and also for the fact that

grades. AS an illustration of swha1
can be done by the proper handling o
a country elevator, will give you a few
facts for your earnest consideration.
We will take for consideration al
elevator handling 100 cars of whea
and fax per season. The value Of tn
screenings where the grain is cleaned
and the profit to be gained by tn
reason Of being properly cleaned OF
better grades, would be about %, 900

: pense in connection with operating an,
maintaining Of the elevator. Thi

employers of labor under wage agree
ments. The Twin City Lines would
not be justified in reducing in rank
those employees that have been promot-
ed since November Both, in returning
to their former employment those who
have left positions in other branches
OF the service of in dismissing withoyt
cause the competent men who have
been employed to fill the other vacan-
cies.
It is now very certain that upon the
basis Of unemployment suggested by
your Excellency, many of the old
switchmen can be given employment
and probably large number would
be restored to their old positions.
With the growth of business it is
reasonable to expect that consider
able increase efforce will be required
which will enable the Twin City Lines
to provide employment in the aggre-
gate for more men than were employ
ed previous to November Both.
The Representatives of the Twin City
Lines believe they have accepted your
Excellency's. suggestions without re-
servation. They. have done so wi6h
the sincere desire of avoiding any
further inconvenience to the public
and loss to their employees which will
result from a continuance, of the pre-
sent conditions.
In conclusion, the representatives Of
the Twin City Lines are under the nee
essity of advising your Excellency
thatt their offer cannot remain open in
definitely and that if not previously
accepted it will be considered with
drawn at IL O'Clock noon Wednesday.
