a brilliant colored cover by Franklin

Goodwin.
A real contribution to our knowl-
edge of a great man is furnished by
General Grants Letters to General
Beale." These letters are the living
memorial Of a friendship which began
In California in the early SOS. and
lasted to the end of General Grants
lie. These letters begin with General
Grants travels in Scotland in 1867.
and they follow the course of his tour
around the world and back to his old
home at Galena, and then to New
YORK n Long Branch. The picture
presented by these letters is of a
kindly. direct, simple, and forceful
man whose opinions were founded on
the clear insight Of his nature.
The new serial, 1.-THE Turnstile."
which begins in this number, is by the
well known English novelist, A. E w.
Mason, author of The Four Feathers"
and "The Broken Road" This re-
markable novel opens on a ranch in
the Argentine, and gives a picture of
life In that far-away country. The
scene, however, soon shifts to Eng
land, and a great deal Of the exciting
story centers about parliamentary life.
The author himself has been in parlia-
ment.
Mrs. Wharton's serial, ETHAN

with a powerful and tragic episode.
Jacob A. Riis has been. associated

YEAR ARE HEAVY
Many New Unions Launched
and Good Results Have
Been Achieved

Jamestown, N. D., Sept. 22.-Prog-
ress of the W0men's Christian Tenn
perance union in North Dakota, as
traced by reports of various oficers
Of the union submitted at the twen-
ty-second annual convention opened
In this city this morning. has been
very satisfactory. In almost every
instance the officers made recon-
mendations concerning work for the
future that will make the union even
a greater factor in the work Of main
tanning the temperance enforcement
movement in the state.
Probably the most important report
that was submitted today was that Of
Mrs. B. H. Wylie, corresponding Sec
rotary. Her report dealt with the
Young Peoples branch particularly
interesting. and she declared that in
that field there was great room for
work. Miss Mosher. national secre-
tary of that department, will be in
the state next month for the purpose
Of conducting a more vigorous cam
pa1gn than has been waged in the
past,
During the past year there have
been twenty-five new local unions or
ganized. thirteen Young Peoples
branches have been launched. and
eleven Loyal Temperance Legions
have been started. And the indica-
lions are, Mrs. Wylie says, that all
will remain active.
Discussing work of the various or
ganizers and lecturers she pointed
out the fact that Mrs. Harriet D. Hall
of Illinois had attended sixty-three
meetings in the state and had Or
ganized " local unions and two
district unions. Mrs. Seth Hartzell.
Of Kansas also did some work during
her stay Of six weeks in the state,
while Mrs. Almena Parker Mcdonald,
also of Illinois, organized unions at
Marmath. Rhame. Gascoyne, Bucyrus
and Shells, the latter union being the
only one formed in the Eighth judi
cial district. Another interesting fea-
ture was the showing made with ref
erence to the activity Of Mrs. Grace
H. Dryden, a farmer woman. who or
ganized a union at Stuart, thirty
miles from a railroad in: Billings
county. Barton, Fngal. Sheyenne
and Dunbar are among the, other
points where new unions were estab-
lished. 81.
Out Of eighteen districts there were
ten district conventions this year,
four being newly organized.

IMPROVE EAST MAIN STREET

DEAR TRANscRIPT:-I was very glad
to read in your interesting paper last
week, such q suggestive letter, from one
.of our esteemed citizens, whereby some
of our money could be retained and used
for the improving of our town. And l
see by the papers that action has already
been taken and bill is now before the
legislature endorsing said letter.
Now as there has been very little ex-
pense ever put on East Main ST. where
there is considerable travel, I would sug.
gest that as we now have commissioner
on the board from that section of the
town that he will Try and have some
little of the funds spent in that direction.
think it was about two years ago, it was
contemplated, yet as usual it was decided
to p ace it in the upper part of the town,
where the other had been spent, now l
think il is time for US to have little
share of the money. Years ago when
West Main st. was covered with crushed
stone, the understanding was that the
other portion would be done but these
times never come.
| think the time has come when We
should try and reduce our tax rate to
something about what the other towns of
same size, dIwn on the peninsula. Why is
it that We have more than double the tax
rate of SMYRNA, and they have sewer
drainages. 1t seems to me il our City
Fathers, were as careful with the expendi.
ture of the public's money as they are OF
their own, things would be different; wish
The TRANSCRIPT would publish the pro.
rata of several Of the towns down the
state for comparison.
Why couldn't our school taxes be in.
cluded with our town and other taxes, and
ali collected by one person, it would save
expense and that is what we are after.
Why couldn't our towR bailiff collect our
taxes, he has plenty of time, could give
bond, and as we are willing be should
watch over us, we would surely be willing
that he should watch over our money.
Another matter and am through for
the present. Why can't we have some
women placed upon our school board, it
is usually the mothers who are the most
interested in the children's studies, they
are the ones who teaches their studies.
Therefore 1 think she knows the quaIif-
cationbest suited to their needs. Wish your
readers would read "What have DONE"
in the last number of the Delineator, and
see what the Chicago people think of
their woman Superintendent of public
schools, at a salary of ten thousand dol
