COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
ViGNESS EXPLAINS

In The Daily Tribune of the 12tn OF
August appears a communication from
Arthur Knowlton relative to the tinan-
cial report of the Iowa school district
No. 2, published in a recent issue OF
the same paper. He says that the
clerks statement of Indebtedness, as
published, is not q correct copy OF the
statement as sent to the county sup
erintendent. The Tribune will kindly
allow me space for q few words In
explanation.
All reports for publication pass
through the hands of the county sup
erintendent for verification. COM
pare all receipts with the records IN
the county treasury, the cash on hand
at the beginning of the year with
former records. The statement Of ex.
penditures is approved by the school
board and l have to take the 1gures
as given. AS general rule l find tho
treasurer's report exact. But when 1t
comes to the clerks reports we have
q great amount of difficulty. Add1-
lions will be incorrect and the amount
carried forward from year to year will
not check.
This last situation is the difficulty
in the Iowa school district. The
trouble probably dates back to the
report for the year 190S.9. Let us
see:
Records show warrants outstanding
July /, 1908, 1921, not $500, as the
clerk then stated; warrants issued
from July 1, 1908, to June 30, 1909,
$1,S22.6S, clerk gave $1,S41.49, but ad-
dition was incorrect; total warrants
issued and outstanding 1908-9, 81
O43.68; total paid by treasurer, 19OS-S,
$1,55O.O3; balance warrants unpaid
July /, 1909, $492.75, not 5000, as stat
ed by clerk.
This gives starting point for the
report in question. ."
Warrants outstanding July /, 1909,
$492.75, not $500, as stated by clerk;

June 80, 1910, $1,O69.O7; total war
rants issued and outstanding, $1.561.-

WEALTH IN IRRIGATION.

Buford-Trenton irrigation project one
Of the most valuable demonstration

a little beyond the work of the dif'

farms in showing what can be accom-

most sure returns from his labor every

desires to bank upon his efforts with
almost mathematical precision, VINO
desires to be master of his farming
operations all the time, who desires
to secure the largest percentage OF
return upon his money and time In
vestment, there is nothing which &C.
complishes it with more certainty ana

the arid and semi-arid regions OF the

repeatedly that it can be used WIN

MORE CONSERVATION.

Note has been taken Of the fact,
saws the Minot Reporter, that on
either side of the ordinary highway
there is a strip of waste land outside
the fenced fields and unutillzed by the
travelling public. This is because the
surveyors originally appropriated the
maximum width fiyed for roads. Per
haps it was just aa we'll in the first
place to prepare for possible emergen-
cies when the wide thoroughfare
might be needed. Costly condemna-
tional proceedings were anticipated
and avoided.
But now the needs of the public
have been thoroughly determined, and
there is no probability of actual in
crease that would use the neglected
strips. So it is proposed to let the
surplus land revert to the farmers.
In Iowa alone it is estimated that
more than a quarter million acres
would be restored to tillage by max
ing the highway forty feet wide in
stead of sixty. Governor Carroll esti-
mates that the roads of the state ag-
gregate hundred thousand miles,
with from five to ten feet on each
side that could be utilized for farm
ing if restored to the fields from which
the strips were originally taken. Land
in the Hawkeye state is held at about
500 an acre, and the seemingly sim
pie plan would increase the assessed
value several millions of dollars.
1t is a striking example OF the
waste in America, as compared with
the frugality OF intensive farming in
the European countries. When all
the new farming districts are opened
up and the acreage of farming In
America has reached nominal maxi
mum, the principles Of reclamation
and conservation can be applied with
advantage to the old neglected tracts
of the east, and perhaps of the west.
Such outcome is inevitable since the
conditions that urge it will put high
values upon the surplus found await
ing attention.

given to the selection of seed ears,
would have given him forty or fifty.
The new farming" which Is trans
forming agriculture from merely
manual to an intellectual and business
pursuit, differs from the old chiefly
in this: that it directs attention to a
thousand before unobserved details,
the study Of and attention to each OF
which counts heavily in determining
whether a crop shall be large or
small; OF good or of inferior quality.

THINKS REDCLiFF, ALBERTA,
CANADA, is ONE OF THE CON-
ING WESTERN TOWNS.
New Town Is Being Promoted by
5rother-in-Law Of A. w. Lucas Of
This City-Great Future.

Rev. O. F. Jones has returned to the
city from an extended trip to the
P1cific coast, and while there he met
a number of old time residents of the
city of Bismarck. The Cooks, billions,
Browns and Hares are at Spokane, and
all OF them seem to be enjoying the
hes. of health and appear to be pros.
pering in a financial way. Mr.. Jones
spent about week with A. E. Nugent,
formerly manager Of the Bismarck
Tribune job department., and he, too,
seemed to be prospecting. He is en-
gagged in the printing business at pres.
ent. He has pleasant home on
Capital Hill and the house is surround.
ed by rose and fruit trees and is an
ideal place. The Nugnets wished to
be remembered to their numerous
friends in Bismarck and this part OF
the state. At Salem, Ore, Mr.. Jones
met MIR. McNeider and is pleased to
state that the gentleman's health has
improved greatly since he has moved
to the west. Barber, at one time an
employe of The Tribune, is also living
at Salem and appeared to be satisfied
with his lot in life as he found It
there.
Mr. Jones while in the west went to
Radcliffe, Alberta, where DR.. Kohler;,
g brother-in-law of A. w. Lucas Of
this city, is locating new town. Mr..
Jones says this is one of the favored
spots of the country, and it is the
intention of the promoters to make an
industrial center. There are natural
resources in great quantity there.
Water power may be had for the put
ting in of wheels; there is an abund
ance of good coal, which can be taken
from the ground cheaply, and in addi-
ton there is limestone, clay ana gas
in practically unlimited quantities.
There are at present buildings erected
which have cost $4,000.
Rev. Jones was on the trip to the
west on personal business, and upon
his return to Bismarck found letter
awaiting him containing call to take
charge of q church in one of one
best cities in Minnesota, but he in
forms The Tribune that he is not SER
iously considering accepting the call.

In view of the condition of crops in

ton will prove almost a calamity IN

The country has demanded in almost
tones that the Roosevelt

as congress authorized the action that
Roosevelt had taken without such
authority, President Taft confirmed
his action.
How long before classification can
be made will depend very largely,
am inclined to think, upon appropria-

Of course, to the settler who is con-

difference. Action will probably be
taken at an early date toward accept

their intention to take title for the

ment title to the coal which may be
found underlying the surface. In
most instances these bobtailed pat
ents carry everything worth having.
If there should happen to be valuable
coal mines lying underneath the sur
face it is probably in the interest OF
the country to hold back title for the
benefit of future generations, even II
the present value of land is affected.
