Jamestown Alert.-I have read
with interest and amuseAent the let
ters in your publication, of two of
our worthy citizens on conditions in
Florida and would suggest that the
next time these gentlemen make a
trip they come to Oklahoma, the
land of sunshine and plenty, where
only a few years ago the buffalo and
Indians roamed at large, but which is
now covered with prosperous farms
and dozens of large cities, with paved
streets and all modern improvements,
the largest of which has $4,000 popu-
lation and where one is awakened in
the morning by the songs of thous-
and silvery tongued birds. Where
the air is now laden with perfume
from apricot, peach, pear, plum, cher
ry and apple trees. Where alfalfa
grows to perfection and often gives
seven cuttings in a single season and
gives excellent grazing for horses and
cattle and especially hogs.
Where wheat Is sown in Septem ber
and gives an abundance of the finest
of pasture for all kinds of stock all
winter and until April LIST and then
yields 40 bushels per acre. Ordin-
ary yields of other crops are oats
S5 bushels, corn so bushels and cot
ton one bale to the acre.
Where the farmers have daily mail,
phones and many electric interru-
ban lines and have frequently wit
messed the flight of airships and
where land actually sells at 5000 per
acre.
Where there are no swamps, croco-
diles nor mosquitoes. But what we
North Dakota people need is for some
writer to tell us more Of the beau
ties and natural advantages of our
own unequalled land.
Respectfully.
J. A. Seller.

NOT BURIED BY COUNTY

Friends of the late Earl Shigley,
who died at the City hospital and was
buried in Highland Home cemetery,
desire to correct an impressian that
the deceased was buried at the ex-
pense of the county, as this was not
the case. The father of young Shig-
ley came to Jamestown and brother
rendered some assistance also in a
financial way. The young man was
highly esteemed by his friends with
whom he came to the city from In
diana, and relatives provided money
for his doctors bills and other ex-
penses attendant upon the death OF
the deceased.

BOARD OF CONTROL BILL

Bismarck, March 20.-In his ap-
proval of the board of control bill
which was a bill entitled an act to
create a state board of control and
provide for the management and con-
troll of the charitable, reformatory
and penal institutions of the state
and to make an appropriation thereof,
and for the defining of certain onens-
es and providing penalties thereof
the governor says. in the message:
nI approve this bill for the reason
that after such. portions of the act
as are unconstitutional are stricken
out, there will still remain a good
law that can be. enforced" :.
Tie governor then takes up the
provisions that the members of the
board of control shall be electors OF
the state, two of whom shall be OF
the political party having q plurality
and one Of the party having the next
highest number Of members in the
legislative assembly.
The governor holds that this pro-
vision is not constitutional and cited
i number Of opinions from Michi-
ran cases, Indiana cases, New York
cases and other legal authority to sub
stantiate his opinion.
He claims the bill would deprive
the governor Of the appointing power
which non-partisan measure would
not do and which would be constitu-
tional. AS the bill stands It Will
permit the governor to appoint any
person Of any political party whom he
sees at.
