building beginning Monday June 5th
by +. G. Fournet and M. ]. Durand.
With the suggestion of the SuperiR'
tendent, that those students coming
short in last sessions work. be given an
examination i'm September. it is our aim
to give the above students such training
as to prepare them to make up their de-
ficiencies before the opening OF next
sessions work.
We also solicit the presence of those
wishing to better themselves for high
school and college work.

The st. Michael Society having
in charge the keeping of the ceme-
terry, has issued an appeal to all
Catholics to make their contribu-
ton of one dollar. which money
will be used for the keeping and
improvement of the silent city of
our dead. This place has been
sorely neglected, which is perhaps
the reason why our people are not
more liberal towards contributing
money for this work. We are of
the opinion that if the Society
would do better and more -perma-
nent work than was done IN the
past that they would have no trou-
bic in having the people to give
them all the money they need to
keep the cemetery in the best of
care. But they are disguested
with the way the money was spent
in the past and the bad work that
was done, in fact nothing was done
to improve the cemetery except to
cut down the weeds. Let the So
ciety go to work and do the work
right and We feel satisfied that
they will have all the money they
need.

MORTON COUNTY TAX
L. COLLECTIONS GOOD

County Treasurer Killand reports
that the tax collections for the past
year, until November first, have been
as good as could be expected in nor.
NAL years and somewhat better than
had been anticipated during the past
two years. From the agricultural Sec
lions of Morton county there is a
slight declination from that of 1910,
but from the towns and cities there
have been decidedly good collections
SO far.
During the past year over 5000
notices for taxes have been sent out
by Mr.. Killand, and the responses are
usually prompt.
At the recent sale of property for
delinquent taxes the pieces Of land
and lots in the smaller towns found
ready market and buyers are plenti-
full; but for lots and property in Man.
dan there were few who wished to
purchase.
One reason assigned for this con-
dition is that Morton county has been
and is chiefly an agricultural section.
More time and attention has been
given to the better and more produc-
tive methods of farming, thus Great
ing value that the tax title buyers
quickly recognize. Also that the dairy
interests have been more fully de-
veloped than in any other country
in the state and through this industry
more money is in circulation through
out Morton county than in places
where this industry is not yet devel-
oped.
In speaking further of the county
and it's resources, he said that in Nor
ton county there are five cities and
numerous incorporated villages which
are in each community business GEN.
tiers and centers of trade. Many more
firms and business houses exist in the
county this year than in any previous
year, and that too, has helped to swell
the collections. All in all, we are very
we'll satisfied with the conditions that
prevail here and count ourselves
lucky that we have this kind of
county to live in.

dent that the best thing in that direc.
ton would be system whereby a
train would constantly be in direct
communication with the station at
the end Of each block. This method
might be practicable if there were
some system of communication other
than by wire. The rails might be
used as medium but for the fact
that they cannot be insulated. 1t is
just possible that the wireless might
be brought into use such as is now
utilized on the ocean. although con-
d1ti0ns there are different than on
land.
Whatever the obstacle, however, it
is safe to predict that the safety
problem will be solved in the near

In keeping with the usual fine shows

first run proposition means that the
reels of photos are not old and worn

rect from the manufacturer. This in
combination with the new radium
screen gives the Mandan people pre-
eminently the best show in this part
