Stewards, Cooks and Bakers

The COmmissary school is divided into
three classes, the stewards class, the
cooking class and the baking class.
Stewards receive an initial pay Of
$es per month. cooks $3.50 per month
and bakers $3.50 per month. In each
line man may better his condition
until he draws monthly from $50 to
sI25. This pay is in addition to food
and sleeping quarters. The different
classes of the school prepare men for
special work in the cuisine of the man
of war. The steward does the market
ing, the cooks prepare the foods and
so on. Each man has his allotted task
aboard ship and the object of the COM
missary school is to have this man un-
derstand thoroughly both the practical
and theoretical sides of his work. The
efficiency of the navy's cooks and bak-
ers is attested to by San Francisco's
organizations Of chefs and bakers. A
man who has served one cruise" four
wears. in the navy is in demand in civil
life on account of the varied expert
ence a man necessarily gathers while
serving as a cook aboard a warship.
Not the least in this line is the ne
cessity Of the seafaring chef knowing
the effect Of different climates on diff
fereht foodstuffs.
On entering the commissary school at
Yerba Buena island the recruit is
taught first the value of personal clean
illness. He must study this lesson until
he masters it. for a dirty cook is alb
horred above all things aboard a ship.
Then. what is probably more pressing
need for cleanliness. the captain, or
"old man" as he is Familiarity known
among sailormen, pays periodical as
well as regular calls to the galley, as
the ships kitchen is called. On the
occasion Of these visits it behooves each
man and pot TO be spotless.

oranges; Saturday. fresh beef stew and
dumplings; Sunday, baked pork and
beans, catsup and Boston brown bread.

Coffee, wheat bread and butter are al
ways served at breakfast In addition
to the foods on the menu. The other
meals of the days show a correspond
ing variety of foods, coffee giving way
to tea and cocoa as the market permits.
Sometimes tasks out of the ordinary
are required of the apprentice cooks.

In the baking line the commissary

NO DIFFERENCE
To HOMESTEADERS
Wall OVER CHANGE OF LAND or
FIcE BOUNDARIES APPEARS
LuDIcRous - PROOFS ARE
MADE BEFORE CLERKS, JUDGES
AND COMMISSIONS RS.

To those who have any knowledge of
the method used by homesteaders in
making final proof on their hand, the
recent wall over the change in the
western boundary of the Fargo landof-
fice district, has every appearance of
being ridiculous
The federal statute gives the home
steader the privilege of making final
proof before United States commits
.sioner, clerk of court, or county Judge.
The claimants can thus journey to the
county seat make out their papers and
mali them to the landoffice in which
district they belong
The issue of the Steele Ozone showed
that not less than ten Anal proofs had
been made before officials there, every
one OF which were in the Bismarck dis
trict However. to those in the north
ern part of Kidder county, Fargo is
just as accessible as Bismarck. as 1t is
necessary toscome down to jamestown
to make connections.
The following from the Steele Ozone
reflects the real sentiment of the people
there
A canvass Of officials who handle u
the general sentiment and argument
that the expense and Inconvenience to
settlers will not be increased by the
transfer of our present Bismarck al
legiance to Fargo. This was the chief
objection the Ozone had to the pro-
posed, and now established, change.
The argument as to added expense,
we are informed by those who do bust
ness before the land offices, would be
all right provided 1t were necessary for
settlers to visit tho u. s, land Of
fees In person: but In very few cases
Is this necessary, and as 1t is now
those who go to Bismarck go there for
the incidental junket, or the natural
desire to make a business trip Justify
with a pleasure outing, rather than
because of necessity. On the other
hand, II is said, they would not go so
far as Fargo. and the result would be
they would come to Steele.
It is argued by our landoffice pr1cti-
TONERS that owing to the heavy ac-
emulation of work at Bismarck, re-
turns from Fargo come in much sooner
after being started here. and that the
change Is in part due to a desire at
to equalize the work of the
two offices. the Fargo office not having
near the business now that Bismarck
has. The new order win ease up on
Messrs. Satterlund and Jewell and put |
more on Messrs. Jordan and Schuyler, |
receivers and registers respectively 1t |
IS not probable, that the land office |
heads are very much exercised over the |
change With them it is a question of
more or less work.

The Northern Pacific has been hav-

for the past forty Eight hours. The
food at Bismarck and Mandan and vi
cinity caused by the Missouri river
overlooking it's banks, has been reced-
ing somewhat, but the trouble is by
no means over.

line of the N. =. No. today will do
the same. Nos. Is and 9 will do local
work between Minneapolis and Bis

running from Mandap to Terry to do
local work on that side of the river.
An official communication from Min
neapolis was received by the N. p. here
this morning to the effect that IL was
hoped by tonight or tomorrow the road

clear through. unless the waters had
done some damage to the tracks in the
vicinity of Bismarck.

FARGO CHARITY
FULLY DISCUSSED
INTERESTING AND TIMELY TOP
&c AT THE SESSION. OF THE
TOWN MEETING cLU5-DoWL-
ING, MocRAcKEN, SWEET AND
MRS. TousLEY WILL TALK.


Charity in its every phase as it
touches Fargo and it's residents, was
discussed at the March session of the
Town Meeting club. last night at the
assembly room of the high school.
The meeting proved to be one of the
best in point of interest and attend
ance that has yet been held.
Secretary o. B. McCracken spoke
on the actual conditions of the poor
OF Fargo and said that there was more
poverty in the city than most people
were aware of. The society had raised
about $1,5oO since December. but II
hoped to double that amount. 1t was
the determination of the society to
see that none of the poor were neg
lected.
Miss Robinson, the new visiting
loan closet" and said that almost
anything and everything could be used
in charity work.
w. d. Sweet spoke on Associated
Charities, and told of the good work
that had already been done, and he
said that he thought that the food
that was wasted at the hotel might be
turned to good use.
DSdn- lowing OF Tn6 episcopal
cathedral talked of the Church and
Charity. 1t was the most interesting
address of the evening. He said that
the church and charity should always
work hand in hand.
Mrs. W. w. Tousley talked of wom-
EN- and Charity. Her address was
carefully prepared and was listened to
with the closest attention. She said
among other thing, that there are
1000 young women in the city earn
ing their livelihood and 500 more
young women students in the various
places of learning. She said 1t was
q regret that charity had not been
able to keep abreast with the great
growth of the city. She strongly
favored a women's boarding house and
hoped that the time was not far dis
tant when such an. institution could
be erected and maintained here.
Mrs. w J.. Clapp rendered a piano
solo as did Miss Anna Chisholm. Miss
Mabel Olson gave the recitation: How
Reuben Came to Town. AS excellent
vocal solo was given by Prof. w. w.
George.
