THE GARBAGE QUESTION.

To The Forum: Being asked to give
my opinion in regard to the city hand
ling the garbage; believe it would be
a good thing in some respects. One
thing, it would compel people to pay
their garbage bill. as it would come out
in taxation. Btu do not believe our
city is large enough for such a gar
bage system yet. Putting garbage into
five classes would be a great mistake.
Kitchen garbage can be covered up
on a wagon continually with ashes,
lawn grass and rubbish.
In speaking of two teams handling
the garbage from kitchens, it would take
seven teams at least with eleven men.
Taking all kinds of garbage from a
home twice week, such as slop, ashes.
lawn grass and rubbish cannot be done
for less than Sc to $12 year. Instead
of gathering garbage every two weeks,
it would have to be gathered twice in
one week. We are now gathering it
once a week and that is not often
enough.
We have now about thirty five fami-
lies in the city that throw their slop
in the alleys. 1t seems to me it would
be easier to control these few, than to
take such an undertaking. It would
take from ten to twelve teams, to
handle the ashes and rubbish. This
work is now done by our 6ray lines
when other work is slack.

A GREAT SINNER.


A youth Of 10 years-who has been
a revivalist and evangelist for some
time-took a day off recently and be-
came converted.
Asked in what respect he was a
sinner during his preaching, prior to
his conversion-he admitted that he
had thought highly of three young
women at one time-that he had play
ed "hlnch"-- and that he had sung
popular songs.
For the good OF mankind as a whole
this young man should have held his
tongue. Hasty and illogical people
will be inclined to jump to the con-
clusion that there other preachers
who ought to be converted. This OF
course, is true-though it is one of
those facts which are better left un-
recorded. The great majority of the
preachers are excellent men who
are trying to harmonic great varie-
ties OF individuals-so that they may
be Joined together in a good and COM

UP TO MILLER.


1t is the duty of Attorney General
Miller--if any former state official is
indebted to the state of North Da-
kota to institute proceedings for coll
lection. If the individual is not re-
sponsible his bondsmen must be.
The report of the legislative inves-
tigating committee is to the effect
the state lost interest on its funds
through the failure of the state
treasurer to make prompt use of
state repositories.
The Forum does not take much
stock in the method used by the
committee at arriving at its conclu-
sions. It's plan of adding the daily
deposits and dividing them by the
number of business days of the month
Ito determine the daily averages Of
cash is absurd on the face of 1t.
But the committee-in all its gilt
tering generalities--has actually been
specific in one or two instances. 1t
says that s1.100 of the s11 200 inter-
est alleged to have been lost to the
state under McMillan's terms, was on
a certain matter in connection with
q Minneapolis bank. If this is true
for McMillan's side has not yet been
presented - the attorney general
should Immediately begin suit for the
recovery Of that interest money.
No specific cases of loss OF interest
was reported by the committee on
Former Treasurer Peterson. If there
are any-collect.
1t Is known that former Treasurer
Bickford kited around, funds for
months on which no interest was re-
ceived. There are specific figures and
amounts given for these. It's up to
Miller to start suit.
The attorney general had to be
prodded into activity to institute ac-
ton in the Stockwen case, in which
finally a judgment was secured for
the state. Will it be necessary TO
prod him some more-to have him
make good the oath of his office?

And he said, Bring me new cruise,
and put salt therein. And they
brought it to him.
And he went forth unto the spring
of the waters, and cast the salt in
there, and said, Thus saith the Lord,
Il have sealed these waters; there
shall not be from thence any more
death or barren land.
So the waters were healed unto this
day, according to the saying Of Elisha
which he spake.
