COUNCIL CREATES
new PARK BOARD
CITY DECIDES TO AVAIL ITSELF
OF THE STATE LAW PROVIDING.
A MUNICIPAL BOARD OF PARK
COMMISSIONERS CITY coUN.
GIL PASSES NEW ORDINANCE

The city of Fargo is to have a new
BOARD OF park commissioners to be
elected by the people at the regular
city election every spring, whose BUSH
ness 1t will be to look after all the civ
parks and provide for the purchase of
new sites for park purposes in the fu-
ture. In creating this board. the civ
takes advantage of the state law which
was enacted by the legislature on
March 2, 1907, which enables municip-
alities of the first class to have mark
commissioners to levy taxes and con-
oemn properties for new parks. The
city council at its regular meeting last
night passed the ordinance allowing for
such board in Fargo on the second
reading of the bill. The measure met
with no opposition
The new park commissioners are to
be elected annually, to serve a term of
nVe years each, and a vacancy ia to
occur each year, which will bring new
blood into the board, unless in case of
reelection, at each election, At the
first election next spring, one OF the
members will be elected for one wear.
one for two years, one for three years
and so on until the five members are
chosen to constitute the membership
of the board. The five park commits
sloners will serve without remunera-
ton.
The board will have the power to
condemn sites in the city to be appro-
priated for park purposes and levy
taxes for the construction and mainten-
ance of such parks as already exist
and shall hereinafter be created. All
jurisdiction over the parks will hence
forth be yielded by the city council
and win be handed bodily over into the
hands of the new commissioners.
The first city in the state to take adj
vantge of the state law which provides
for such board in North Dakota cit
les, was Grand Forks. It is well
known fact that the parking system
in that city is vastly superior to the
prevailing one in Fargo and it is the
hope of the members of the city coun-
ell and the present city administration
to make this city second to none in
the state in the way or ornamentation
and natural beauty

INCREASE FOR
CITY OFFICIALS
QUESTION or RAISE OF SALARIES
OF CITY OFFICIALS PRESENTED
AT CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT
MATTER POSTPONED UNTIL
NEXT MEETING,

Among the bills presented to the city
council at last nights session was the
question of the increase of salaries for
city officials. The matter was not dis
Icussed more than to state that such a
measure had been prepared. 1t was
deferred for the councils elaboration
until the next meeting, Sept. g.
A bin was presented for the rental IF
metal furniture in the city auditors
office from the office of Walker Bros.
& Hardy more than two years ago.
After lengthy discussion on the matter
1t was referred to the building and
supplies committee to be reported at
the next meeting of the council.
Prof, r. G.. Weeks, of the Agricul-
tural college, residing on North Broad
way between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets, outside the city limits, petit
toned the council for permission to
connect his new residence with the city
water mains The matter was referred
to the fire and water committee, which
was given power to give Professor
Weeks the. privilege of immediate at
tachment, and fix the rate at q later
date.

The MUNICIPAL DAIRY
Plan to Have Municipality Supply the
Milk Supply Is the Latest sus-
gestion.

Hamptpn's Magazine calls upon
some American icipality-giving
preference to Des Moines-to try the
experiment Of the municipal dairy
The idea Is at least interesting says
The st. Paul Dispatch.
Municipal waterworks were an ex-
pertinent when first introduced. with
plenty to oppose them on the same
grounds that will be urged against the
municipal dairy.
A city's milk is certainly q matter Of
the utmost Importance and bears more
directly upon the mortality rate than
almost any other thing. The state rec
ognizing this, has instituted the most
severe regulations and restrictions.
and a most thorough system of i'm
spection for all dairies and creameries
In large cities the milk situation lis
always important. Milk Is not alone
the most regular article Of food and
cookery, but infants depend upon il
to such an extent that the moment IL
becomes difficult to get the health and
life of the race are menaced seriously.
Whenever milk increases In price the
hardship to the poor is immediate and
considerable. It is essential that the
supply OF milk be sufficient for the
demand, that there be pure supply,
and that it be moderate In cost.
IL municipal dairy would make 1t
possible to more easily meet such
problems. to guarantee an absolutely
pure milk supply. to keep the prices
az the lowest possible mark and to
maintain some equilibrium between
supply and demand with greater sue
cess than can be done by individual
dairymen, II would have much to
commend 1t.
Full consideration OF the proposition
however will not overlook the fact
that municipalities sometimes make a
miserable failure In their efforts to
supply themselves with SO necessary
an article as pure water. That, how
ever, 10 no reason why they should not
do both supply both milk and water.
Of almost equal necessity and do
them right.

SUPERINTENDENT
LANXON IS BUSY
EXPERIMENT FARM
BEING RAPIDLY PUT IN coNDl-
TIoN FOR NEXT YEARS WORK
BUILDING NEARLY COMPLETED
FARM is FENCED.

Hettinger Record: Although no crop
has yet been grown at the Hettinger
experimental farm, trip to the farm
and visit with Superintendent Lanx-
on is indeed interesting.
Mr. Lanxon is a thoroughly capable
man and he Is working hard to get the
farm in condition for next years work.
One of the recent acquisitions at the
station is four fine brood mares recent
ly purchased in Illinois for Mr.. Lanx-
on by Earl Conner, the local horse
dealer Two of these mares are Per-
cheron grades and 8 years old,
weighing 2720 pounds. The latter two
ere almost perfect in every respect
and should weigh 1900 when they at
tain their full growth. They are well
mated and in fact one of the finest
spans OF mares that we have ever se Ia
Mr.. Lanxon says that they have moth
ing at the Fargo station that will COM
pare with them. These animals will
be used to do the farm work and VIII
also be used for breeding purposes. The
aim OF the station is to demonstrate
that the raising of high grade horses is
necessary on the well conducted farm,
hence the purchase of these mares. AS
soon as money is available several pure
bred dairy cows will also be purchased
with view to showing the advantage
of having pure bred dairy stock on the
Dakota farm.
The station barn which was complet-
ed some time ago, is certainly all that
could be desired both as to room and
convenience. Unlike most barns II is
ceiled throughout and is lighted by
many windows. Besides the stalls for
the stock there are feed bins, harness
room, carriage room, drying room and
office, also large loft for hay.
The dwelling, work upon which is
Progressing rapidly, will be an eight
room structure with full basement. 1t
will be heated with hot water and bath.
and inside toilets will be provided.
Eventually gasoline engine and dy-
namo will be installed to furnish cleo

The original aim In the organization
of Buffalo Bills Wild West was for the
very purpose of dispelling ignorance
as to existing conditions and the fact
that a certain phase OF sanguinary, yet
picturesque American history was
past, and to present 1t in a manner
more nearly approaching realism than
had ever before been attempted In the
worlds history. The various thrilling
events and series of pictures of from
tier life was vertically adhered to and
history related and re-enacted by the
men-red and white-who had made It.
Thus the civilized world from Seattle
to Russia was shown animated pic

ination to properly appreciate the

MORTON COUNTY DIVISION.
The Glen Win News Advocate 10 a
Split.

Glen Ullin, News: The question of
dividing Morton county is again being
discussed by the taxpayers of this end
of the county and the general opinion
seems to favor immediate action.
Certainly II the question is to be
brought before the people at the gem
eral election this fall it lis high time
something was being done to start the
ball rolling.
We believe the time Ia ripe for divi-
sion and that there will be but little
opposition when the question Is sub
mitted. The people here want division,
the people OF the southeastern part of
the county want division so we ought
to be able to get together and divide
with satisfaction to all concerned.

SAYS THE GIRLS
SHOULD Be COOKS
DIES MONIES EDUCATOR SAYS
BREAD BAKING is MORE I'M
PORTANT THAN LATIN.

Des Moines, Dec. 30.-Sewing and
cooking taught in every school in Des
Moines in 1910.
This is the most important advance
ment which could take place in the
Des Moines public school system the
coming year according to Supt. w. o.
Riddell
How to make a dollar go the
fartherest in the home is the most i'm
portant part of a girls education to-
day" says Supt Riddell. "If a girl
isn't thoroughly posted in the art of
properly spending a dollar, If she can
not sew and cook, her education is in
complete. No matter how much latin
and science she may know she has no
right to diploma if she cannot make
shirt waist and bake a good loaf of
bread"
About 1000 girls are now taking
sewing and cooking in the schools, but
Supt. Riddell is not satisfied. There
are sewing classes and cooking
classes In about half a dozen build
ings. East High having first organ
lied class which has grown into the
biggest in the city. Supt. Riddell
wants to see sewing and cooking be-
come as much a part of the regular
course of study in every building in
the city as arithmetic and spelling.
