Dedicated to the Memory of
''Our Darling Florence"
God take back our loved one,
You loaned us a few yeare ago.
i7oot 81 IT, 49, -

God take back our loved one,
You loaned us few yeare ago.
Back to Thy throne in glory
But Ohl- we shall miss her so.
You loaned her to us Jesus
To cheer us on our way
How could we live without her
If we mad not learned to pray.
1t seems like God in His mercy
Could have left her little while
But Lord-Thy will be done
Take back our darling child.
We do not want to bring her
Back to this earth again
We are glad she is home with Jesus,
Away from this world OF sin.
We know that we shall miss her
But we know where she has gone
Back to the One who loaned her
To await that glorious dawn.
Lord give us a heart as loving
AS the one you have taken away
May we follow in Thy footsteps,
To meet her there some day.
Make ue kind and gentle
Give us forgiving hearta
Teach US the way eternal
May we ne'er from Thee depart.
Help us forget the dark days
That are just now passing by
To think more OF the Future
And the One who reigns on high.
Show us the work in Thy vineyard
And we will do our best
To be Thy true under shepherd
May in this our hearts find rest.
True child shall lead them
To walk on the golden street
May we be a united family
Around Thy mercy seat.

WORK IS PLANNED
DETAILED RECONNAISSANCE TO Be
MADE OF -FOUR n. D. STREAMS.
PLAN SMALL PROJECTS.

Washington, April 22.-The su-
pervising engineer in charge of
reclamation work in North Dako-
ia has arranged for detailed re-
connaissance of the four principal
streams in southwest North Dako-
ia, the Little Missouri, Knife,
Heart and Cannon Ball rivers. A
previous preliminary survey indi-
that there is no large feasi-

CITY RECORDS
WERE MUTLATED
UNKNOWN PARTY ENTERS AUDITORS
OFFICE SATURDAY NIGHT and
MU1ILATES RECORDS.

Some time Saturday night one
or more parties entered the city
auditor and engineers rooms in
the Rawson block and stole a lot
of the city records. The books
containing the minutes of the
meetings we're cut open and the
minutes of all meetings for the
past four or five years were taken.
The verified accounts, stub war
rant books, receipt books, etc.,
for like period were also miss
ing, together with the city en-
gineer's records of the main tap
ping, meters and others business
connected with the light and water
plant. The theft was not discover
ed until Monday morning and
shortly after noon Monday the
missing records were, recovered.
A man by the name of North, en-
ployed by the railroad, found them

Pisgers Caught.

Sheriff Olson, States Attorney
Braatelien and two deputy sheriffs
made q call upon the Kermit pig
gers last week and arrested Paddy
Armstrong and his man Wat Ed
gar. The authorities went to Ker-
NIT in the sheriff's big auto and
for that reason the piggers did
not have any warning. Arm
strong furnished 5000 bonds and
will be tried at the next term of
district court. Wat Edgar is oc-
cupying room in the county Jail
and it is stated that he will plead
guilty. The sheriff and states at
torney were afforded considerable
amusement when they arrived in
Kermit. When the auto came in
to town a man who saw the party
arrive made a run for the Arm
strong pig. Sheriff Olson was
standing where he could see into
the building and after the man
got there the inmates got busy
turning the slot machines to the
wall and making other changes.
endeavoring, it is presumed, to-
cover up any evidence that would
show they were running pig.
Olson's machine enables him to
reach any of the towns in the
county without having to follow
the railroad or the telephone
lines. In this way he can drop
down on the law breakers before
they can get warning. Whenever
the sheriff makes trip by rail
after pigger he finds the man
missing and it is presumed that
friends along the road have noti-
fled him. ,a u,&..s.

CONCESSION
... TO HOLLAND
this IS FAVORED BY McCUMBER IN
RETURN FOR RATE ON U.S..
FLOUR.

| Washington, D. c., April d.
Senator McCumber introduced
yesterday the amendment asked
for by the -four millers of the
northwestern states and which has
been strongly recommended by
the bureau of manufacturers and
by Special Agent Mark H. Davis.
+ The amendment will operate to
give a special concession to Hol-
land in tariff on Towering bulbs
exported by that country to the
United States. Special Agent Da-
Wis recently reported from Am
sterdam that unless the United
States did give some attention to
the Hollanders' demand for q
freer market for valuable bulbs,
the Netherlands would probably
adopt some retaliatory measure
against American flour. NJ
4 The Netherlands is practically
the only country aside from En-
gland where American -four is ad-
mitted practically without restric-
tion and the millers have seen the
possibility of S., 100000 in trade
slipping away from them.
The McCumber amendment
proposes to do away with the
present 25 per cent ad valorem
tariff on bulbs and substitute a
specific tariff of from 5 to 10 cents
per hundred. This would be sat
isfactory to the Dutch bulb
growers.

Argue Contest May IL.

Judge Templeton of Grand
Forks has set May II as the date
for the arguments in the contest
brought by the workers for Burke
and Renville counties against
Ward county to have the Ken
mare vote thrown out on the
charge that it was illegal. It is
claimed that the Kenmare vote
was illegal as the inspectors did
not meet the fall before and cor
rect the registration list. If the
Kenmare vote of 592 is thrown
out both Burke and Renville
counties would win and all that
would be left of old Ward would
be townships in the southeast part
of the old county for a county
about one quarter its former Size.

Swenson Was Let Out.

Grand Forks, April %. Elmer
Swenson, who was elected to the
Office of assessor in Elm Grove
township, did not secure the as
SCISSORS books today, even though
he did purchase real estate and re-
cord the deed, the law requiring
that an assessor must be a prop
erty owner. States Attorney
Bangs holds that Mr.. Swenson
had to own real estate at the time
he was elected. j. E. Eastgate
who was appointed to the Office
when it was found that Mr.. Sven
son could not act, was given the
assessors books today.

STATE E,.AUDlI0R
PAYSoUT $4,000
ENTIRE OFFICE FORCE BUSY ISSUING
WARRANTS.-MANY CLAIMS I'M
PROPERLY MADE.

Bismarck, N. D., April 23-The
clerical force of the state auditors
Office has been exceedingly busy
for the past ten days in issuing
warrants to people who have made
and proved their claims for idem-
nifty for the killing of horses that
were said to have been suffering
with glanders.
The last legislature appropri-
ated $780, 900 ,for the above pur-
pose and as fast as the claims
were presented in their proper
shape the warrants were made out
and paid.
There are, of course, a number
of cases that are being hung up on
account of not being made out in
proper form, but these are small
and are being fixed up as fast as
possible. The auditors Office real
ICES that there were undoubtedly
many people upon whom the loss
of horse worked great hard
ship, and they were anxious to get
the money placed in the proper
places as soon as possible.
Most of the money appropriated
has been used but there are a
number of claims yet to be pre-
sented and there will be more
coming in from time to time and
they will be attended to as long as
the appropriation holds out.

ARB0R DAY
FRIDAY, APRIL 30
GOVERNOR BURKE ISSUES PR0QMA-
TON NAMING TOMORROW is
ARBQR DAY.

Bismarck, N. D. Apr. :22 State
of North Dakota, Executive de-
partment.
The conservation of our forests
received more consideration at the
conference Of the governors of the
United States in Washington last
year than any other of the natural
resources; and, if the subject is of
so much importance'to the people
of the entire country, it is certain
ly of great importance to the peo-
pie of this grest agricultural prai-
RE state.
1t is of Importance because of
the beneficial influence of trees to
agriculture, in tempering the eli
mate, in conserving the moisture,
in stopping and cooling hot winds
and in furnishing shelter and
shade for homes for man, for the
animals of the field and the birds
of the air, and in beautifying
home and field.
FRIDAY, APRIL 80. rs.tr+
Therefore, for the purpose of
encouraging the planting of forest
<rees, 1 do hereby designate Fri
day, April: 80, as Arbor day for
the state, and I do most earnestly
recommend that the Commercial
clubs of sthe different cities and
towns unite with the county SUI
perintendent of schools and the
superintendent of our city schools
in the preparation of suitable ex-
ercises for this day; which should
consist mainly in the planting of
trees around our homes, public
buildings and school grounds,
that we may awaken an interest
in-the subject of forestry, not
confined to Arbor day alone, but
to other days as we'll, until we
have made this the most beautiful
as we'll as the most prosperous
state in the union.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the state of North
Dakota at the capitol, April 10,
A. D. 1909.

North Dakota Will Exhibit.

w. G. Gilbreath, commissioner
of Agriculture of this state, is
planning an extensive exhibit of
North Dakota grains and grasses
to be made at the National Corn
Exposition in Omaha Dec. 6 to IS.
1t will be remembered that
North Dakota had an exhibit at
the St. Louis exposition which at
tracted international attention and
was big advertisement for the
state. The exhibit which Mr..
Gilbreath proposes to make at
Omaha will be something on the
order of the one made at St.
Louis and as he has applied early
for space, North Dakota will get
one of the best locations in the
main exposition building.
Besides the state exhibit, Mr..
Gilbreath has arranged to have
special classifications made and
the management of the exposition
has set aside special premiums for
the northern small grains, which
will give individual grain growers
an opportunity to put North Da-
kota wheat against that of the
world and against other growers
wheat in this state as we'll.
Last year twenty two states had
exhibits, but North Dakota was
not represented, largely because
of the short time which was given
to prepare an exhibit, and North
Dakota would rather be absent
than not represented fright"
