MOTHERS DAY PROCLAMATION

BY the Governor:
1t has become the custom through
out the nation to observe the second
Sunday in May each year as Mothers
Day, in honor of and as tribute OF
love and reverence to our mothers
!, to whom we owe SO much.
!. 1t is beautifully appropriate day.
coming as 1t does in the lovliest month
of all the year. fresh and fragrant
with the breath of flowers. resonant
with the music of nature all around
US and indelibly impressed upon our
memory by devine command and the
gentle admonitions of our mothers to
remember to keep holy the Sabbath
day. 1t is a beautiful custom that will
make us better men, better woman
and better Christians, for we cannot
associate the name of mother with
anything but that which is pure and
holy. To think of mother is to recall
her tender care, her unselfish devo-
tion, her limitless unfaltering love
through good and evil report, never
waivering, but growing stronger with
the years; and to remember that she
asks nothing in return for herself,
she asks only of US and for us that
we be good men and women. This is
her constant hope and prayer. II
we fail she does not love us less, but
more we may bring sorrow, shame
and disgrace to her gray hairs. and,
though broken hearted and grief
stricken. she loves us all the more.
Wonderful. constant, Miraculous
mothers love. 1t deserves recogni-
tion for the Joy it will bring to mother,
for the good that it will do us all.
therefore designate Sunday. May
IA, 1911, as Mothers Day and recon-
mend that it be observed in all the
of the state by appropriate
and that each and all wear
the white carnation as emblematical
of the purity of mothers life, of moth
er's love and of our intentions.

Seal of the State of North Dakota, at |

CASE
Will soon GO
TO THE JURY
10y Associated PreSS.)

Hayward, Wis, May 12.-John Dietz
talked for two hours and a half this
morning in his closing address to the
jury. The defense will continue this
afternoon with about thirty minutes
of it's three hours left. Opening of the
closing argument for the defense was
made by Dietz' attorney 8. J. viii.
liams and former attorney general L.
n. Sturdevant will close this after
noon for the prosecution. 1t was no.
ticeable that Dietz in his argument
did not at any time seem to consider
the necessity of arguing for Mrs.
Dietz and Leslie. He bitterly arraign-
ed the state for presenting only such
facts as its attorney thought told
against him. He argued that the bull
let taken from Oscar Harp's body
could not have come from one of
Dietz' guns. He rambled considerably
in presenting his points. Speaking of
the states alleged one-sided testi-
mony he said "If you would have the
public respect the law, the law should
not be lawless."

GAME WARDENS WILL
interest CITIZENS

Grand orks, N. D., May 1.-THE
state board of game and fish control
with the three members, Thomas Crit
fths, OF this city, T. D. Casey of Graf
ton, and w. E. Byerly of Velva, in at
tendance, together with the state
game wardens Stenvick of Minot, and
Olaf Bjorke, of Abercrombie, met in
this city and talked over preliminary
plans for the protection of game in
the state. Probably the two most
important matters discussed was the
movement to interest Commercial
bodies and gun clubs over the state in
game protection and plans for the
exhibit at the state fair
The members Of the board and the
movement for the purpose of inter
esting Commercial clubs in seeing
that there are no violations of the
game law. The members of the board
and wardens feel that the best meth
cd of enforcing the law is to awaken
in the minds of the people of the
state sentiment strongly in favor of
enforcing the game law. The new
law which limits the number Of
wardens means that the people of the
various localities will need to take
greater interest in enforcement of the
law is the best results are to be &C.
complished.
The exhibit at the state fair this
year is to surpass anything Of the
kind yet attempted by the board.
Secretary M c. Bachelor of the fair
association, appeared before the board
yesterday and tentative plans made
for taking care Of the exhibit which
is to be composed of live animals and
birds, mounted specimens in profu-
sion and a fish exhibit in charge of
Supt. Main. The plan now under
way is to move the old gun club house
to the fair grounds, properly remodel
it, and use it as a sportsmen's rest
with an enclosure for the live animals
and fowls, the mounted specimens to
be displayed in the club house and the
fish exhibit to be arranged in suit
able manner around the porch.
Other matters of interest in con-
nection with the protection of game
were discussed at length by the board
the session being completed late in
the afternoon.

Admiral Farragut from Philadelphia
for Port Antonio, off Cape Charles,
shortly after midnight
The Merida's passengers and crew
were transferred to the Admiral Far

The water poured through a gaping

hours after the collision the steam
ship settled beneath the waves.
Wireless distress signals were fash

Elgin, N. D., May 12.-Great inter
est is being manifested here in the
improvement of the public park which
is one block square plus the eighteen
feet allowed on each side for side
walks and grass plot as on all the
residence streets.
The granting Of the park last fall
to the city was through Land Com
missioner Cooper of the Northern Pa
cific, which road owns the townsite
and is much interested in the develop
ment Of Elgin. The trees and shrub
berry for the beautifying of the ground
were given by P. B. Wickbam and
Charley Waechter of Glen Ullin who
have business interests in the town.
The planting has been in the hands Of
the commercial club with DR.. B. A.

ing all citizens possible has turned
out en- masse, giving a concrete ex-
ample of the true progressive western
spirit.
The grounds were laid out by a
landscape gardner and are artistic in
design. A place is reserved near the
middle for band stand and walks
laid out.
There are nineteen different kinds
of trees that are accustomed to this
climate, a row of elms extending
around the outer edge. There are
also twenty varieties of shrubs and
three flower beds.
