The Boston Ladies' Quartette per-
formed at the school house Friday,
evening. It was the crowning treat
of the lyceum course. The house
was crowded aud the hearty applause
showed a just appreciation of the
exquisite music and fine recitations.
The four girls voices blended beauti-
fully, and whether singing from the
opera or in Dixie" was just fine!
Miss Mabel Bradford's personality
and singing {leading soprano) were
both attractive, while demonstrating
too that she is . fine pianist Miss
Gross In her rendition of the Last
Auto Ride" brought down the house.
A warm welcome awaits these girls
whenever they may return to this
corner of our sunny South.
The music in our hearts we bore,
Long after it was heard no more. :"
Quite q number of visitors from 4
distance heard these ladies sing.
Among them were Misses Ada Sand

were escorted here by Mr.. Grover
Sanders in his new white automobile.
Rev. D. B. Groseclose preached a
fine sermon Sunday night to a large
audience. Two new members were

VIM. A. Hoover and Miss Kate

in here and were anxiously inquiring
for a minister. They were invited
into Mr.. F. NJ. Young's parlor. and
there the nuptial knot was tied by

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-One of the

In the midst of a recently explored
tropical forest. into which the foot of
even the Aborigine is believed to have
never vent dred, and which was valued
only for It's timber land, an immense
tract of wild rubber has been found
in nourtsllug growth.
Investigation to date shows an aver
age OF twentY rubber trees to the acre
indicating an estimated total of $780,
900 treest the whole area. The trees
range from twenty to ninety inches in
circumference and are ready for i'm
mediate tapping. They should yield
an average OF at least five pounds each
in the first year of their tapping or a
total OF 1,4OOOOO pounds, although
matured trees often yield from ten to
twenty pounds OF the later-ecah.
No attempt has yet been made to
appraisc the commercial value of this
tremendous deposit of natural rubber
but a./the prevailing price OF that sta
pie, 1t should represent a substantial
sum. Among the trees found in great
est profusion on the estate are the
EIevea and saptum from which high
grade rubber is produced. During the
last twelve months the best grades of
rubber reached as high as $3.l2 n
pound and is now around $3.50 a
pound. Even on the assumption that

News Of the Week From varl-
Gus Parts Of the State,
WOULD REPEAL THE MEASURE
State Auditor .. K. HrishtbiI! Wants
the Wolf Bounty Law Done
Away With.

That the wolf bounty law should
be repealed Ia the opinion of State
Auditor D. K. Brightbill. Contradic-
lions to the laws, one providing for a
state bounty and the other for q coun.
ty bounty, together with the fact that
there is no longer any need Of a
bounty being paid by the state, is one
reason advanced for the change.
In 1909 the total amount of certifi-
Gates issued by the counties under the
state bounty law and presented to the
state auditor for registration a $780,
291.50. This indicates that during the
year there were killed a total Of 11,717
wolves. In 1909 the auditor paid out
$41,355 state wolf. bounty, the differ
M paid out between the value of
certificates presented being explained
by reason Of the fact that some of the
1908 certificates we're paid in 1909.
The average payment for the past
five years has been $4,000 a year, or
$4,000 a month. Since 1897, when the
law went into effect, there has been
taxed against the people of the state
a total of $403, 211.6S.
In the eastern counties of the state,
where a large amount of tax is paid,
because of the higher valuation, the
least benefit is received. This is shown
in the case of Grand FORKS county,
which in 1909 paid a total Of $2,576.48
into the wolf bounty fund, when, as a
matter of fact, certificates from that
county registered during the year
amounted to only 1925. The same
holds true in the case of practically
every eastern county in the state.

Tributes to MIR. Boucher

Steele Ozone: The Tribune OF
Friday had the news of the death
of Nelson F. Boucher, former
resident of the Slope, and twelve
years the warden of the state
penitentiary at Bismarck. He
died at Los Angeles, CAL, where
he was living with his wife and
widowed daughter, Mrs. Matchan.
Mr.. Boucher was about S. years of
age and was a native of New York
state, and of the old patron stock;
having been born not far from
Schenectady. He came to this
state in the eighties and was
agency clerk at Fort Berthold I'M
der Major Clifford for a time, later
settling at Washburn where he
practiced law. He removed to
Bismarck in the summer of 1889:
and was later appointed city at
torney. He was considered a we'll
read lawyer and in a wider field of
practice would have made his
mark by close attention to his
profession. AS warden, while
subject to considerable criticism
as to discipline and methods, his
administration was undoubtedly
capable and much was accomp-
lished. He was a MAJ of more
than average exclusive ability.
Casselton Reporter: N. F
Boucher, for twelve years warden
of the penitentiary at Bismarck,
died at Los Angeles, CAL, on the
18th inst. Those who knew the
big and energetic man best, and
his love for the institution over
which he presided SO long, never
doupted his probity or ability.
That he felt the indignity i'm
posed upon him-and never re-
moved when it might have been
was evidenced by his sudden
failure in health, and final demise
from heart disease. All who were
thrown with him recognized in
him sterling integrity of character
too true to dol an ignoble deed.
His death is deeply regretted by a
host of friends.

two su~b-basements. The hotel, which
will be a Commercial house," will
have 1900 sleeping rooms and about

Against So Called Electrical Trust.
Washington, Dec. 2s.-President
Taft spent several hours in the execu.
tive Offices %disposing of public bust
ness. He had an extended conference
with Representative Dwight of New
York. Republican whip of the house.
Mr.. Dwight agreed with the president
that there is an excellent chance for
putting through a legislative pro.
gramme at the present session of con.
gress.
The president as yet has not decided
just which of the various matters
recommended in his message he will
push. He will have a series of con.
ferences following the resumption of
the congressional session next week to
test the sentiment both in the house
and in the senate toward several of the
more important measures.
Among the presidents more promi-
nent callers were Presiding. Judge Mar.
tin A. Knapp of the new court of com.
merce and Chairman H. c. Emery of
the tariff board.
Attorney General Wickersham has
left Washington for a week to finish
preparing himself for the argument of
the trust cases in the supreme court
early next month.
For this reason the filing of the first
bill against the so called electrical
trust probably will be delayed until
the middle of January.
The attorney general will revise the
bill personally. It is now being drawn
and it was his intention originally to
file it before Jan. 1.
