Bismarck, n. d. May. 49,
Walfred Hoover returned to the
capital city recently from an ex.
tended trip through the south.
Mr.. Hoover has been in i'll health
for some time previously to
departing on his trip, and it was
made particularly for the benefit
of his health. He, is greatly i'm
proved in health as result of his
journey which will be welcome
news to his many friends in the
city.
Mr.. Hoover spent several
weeks in Texas, California, Old
Mexico and other states and places
of interest. He went over to
Tijuana, Mex, from San Diego,
this is the place that Was captured
by the insurrectos few day ago.
He saw the federal soldiers at the
barracks there and had a good
visit about the town. At San
Diego he saw cruisers and torpedo
boats lying at anchor in the bay.

Governor Burke Signs Measure Pro
vidins for Three Congress
sional Districts.

The report that Governor Burke had
vetoed the bill dividing North Dakota
into three congressional districts was
unfounded. Governor Burke did not
veto the measure, but signed 1t. II
congress passes the pending reappor.
tionment measure North Dakota will
elect three congressman from as many
districts in 1912.
The favorable consideration Of the
reapportionment measure by the house
of representatives and the discovery
that Governor Burke did not veto the
bill redistrictfng the state has led to
much speculation as to. who will be-
come candidates next year. The meas
ure leaves Congressman Hanna and
Helgeson in the First or East district
and it is highly improbable that there
will be any candidates who could cope
with them, entrenched as they will be
by federal patronage and prestige Of
Office. It will be a fight to a finish
between them.

New England, Dead for Many Years,
Fakes New Lease.
The rapid development of some sec
tif.ns Of North Dakota is attracting a
great deal Of attention. New England
was first settled more than twenty
five years ago by a colony of people
from the New England states. They
were unused to Western methods and
failed. Several substantial buildings
were erected. but nearly all were torn
down later. The town was deserted
for many years until seven or eight
years ago 1t was reestabtshed.
It is now the terminal Of the Puget

An article in the Saint Thomas
Times is very interesting and is an
example many would like to follow
if they were only brave enough,
not in school matters but in re-
spect to some business enterprises
in their home cities. The editor
says. For more than a quarter of
a century this paper and it's pub
Usher have been the friends and
champions of the st. Thomas
schools and in season and out
have done everything possible to
establish cordial relations between
our citizens and the teaching force,
but since the present superinten-
dent in his wide experience and
profound wisdom has decided that
the Times is no good as a local
paper and unworthy of support by
the school board or schools, our
zeal for the schools has cooled.
Just so long as the schools and
those who manage them assume
hostile attitude to the Times, just
so long will this paper refuse to
give more than passing note to
school events. We are exceedingly
sorry to have to assume this at
titude, but it has been forced on
the editor by the superintendent,
who has seen fit to offer the Times
and its editor gratuitous insult,
and who, when opportunity was
given to apologize or retract
showed himself of too small calibre
to make ammends.

North Dakotans Appear Before Senate
Committee.
The North Dakota delegation of
farmers that went to Washington to
protest against the Canadian reciproc-
ity agreement appeared before the
senate committee on finance.
Former Lieutenant Governor r. s.
Lewis, chairman of the delegation,
presented the speakers. In his intro
ductory remarks Mr. Lewis told of the
anti-reciprocity convention held In,
North Dakota on March 81.
1T was nonpartisan gathering"
he said. 1--WE want to keep politics
out of this proposition If we can. How
ever, must say that, inasmuch as
this agreement. was initiated by Presi-
dent Taft. we may be put to the
necessity of flirting with the Demo
crats''
w. G. Larimore of Larimore, the
next speaker, injected politics into the
discussion. He said the farmers, not
in spirit of revenge, but as means
of protecting themselves, would re.
taliate at the polls in the next elec.

far as grain is concerned its free ad-
mission from Canada would not lower
the cost of living. "The price of bread
is the same now as it was in the days
when We sold wheat in North Dakota
for 80 cents bushed," he said.

FRIDAY, MAY 10. 1911

Ever since early in the winter
when County Auditor Meyers was
made to see the vision which justi.
fled him in certifying the vote on
the division question involving the
creation Of Stevenson county,
there has been much mystery
surrounding matters pertaining to
public proceedings. The act of
County Auditor Meyer came as
complete surprise-no layman
could really understand how a
county officer could terminate
question which was pending in
court In which he was merely
nominal defendant. At the JAN

missioners the Mclean County
Independent published at Gar
rison was designated as one of the
newspapers in which proceedings
of the county board and legal
notices should be published. The
proceedings of the board for Jan

lChange Books At

Board of Education Criticised For Imposing Hardship Upon
 Poor People

The members of the Board of Edu- tration are in for a roasting at the khands of some of the parents of the city for their action last evening in kadopting; a number of new text books Eto sifppiant books, some of which have Ebeefi in use at the High school for a number Of years. and some of which shave had but few years use.
 One parent who has sent five of his
 children to the High school, Is quot
 ed as follows: '-The members of the Board of Education do not seem to realize some of the hardships they impose upon parents. I've sent all of
 my boys and girls, five in all, to the High school. Invariably each year they had to purchase new books, the
 text used by an elder brother or sis
 ter being of no use."
 Another parent stated: Let the city purchase the books for the High school, and then note how often the
 texts will be changed"
 Eight text books in all were chang ed by the board. Some of the mem bers questioned the change noting their objection to working a hardship on the parents It was explained . that the texts done away with had been found wanting in some respects and that the new books em mbrace all the latest modern practices and teach ings. It was explained that pupils most every year purchase new books. and that where they held a book which was done away with an ex- change could be made, an agreement being made with the publishers to ac- cept the old books as part payment. The part payment, it was stated, was something like a third.
