PeriIs Of Navigation
 On Iditarod-FIat Trail

Aside from the mere difficulties of travelling, the perils of navigation on the trail between Iditarod city and Flat are not to be ignored by the har- dtest navigators, as witness the acci- dent that befell Alex Tobin, the frei&hter, as he was hauling load out to Flat last Monday.
 Tobin was descending the long hill before reaching the Summit roadhouse and his two horses were walowing alsng like mudhens in ruts that were belly-deep with mud and water. With out warning one of his horses fell and the other horse fell on top of it, bury ing the unfortunate animal almost out of sight. Before Tobin could cut him loose and get the upper horse off, the animal underneath was literally drown ed in the middle of the road.
 The accident was a costly one but unavoidable. However, Tobin is not discouraged and still on the job.

IN THE END.

When I have slipped my tether, and left this vale of tears, to see what sort of weather they have in other spheres, 1 want no costly cas- ket with silver trimmings bound; just put me in basket and chuck me underground. Death would be far more jolly and pleasant every way, but for the idle folly of making big display. It takes roll amending to make Q graveyard spread, and all the fuss and spending don't help the man who's dead. 'Twere best to keep the stivers safe hidden in a tub, to comfort the survivors and buy them duds and grub. I know that it would grind me when on the other shore, if those I left behind had wolves before the door; if I looked down and found them, immersed in tears and woe, with creditors around them all bowling for the dough. So when I up and trundle down to the sunless sea, let no one blow bundle to pay for planting me. I'll slumber just as sweetly in some old bass-wood box, as though trussed up completely with silver screws and locks.-Walt Mason.

BENEFICIAL RAINS.

The recent rains have been great
boost for the farmers Of North Da-
kota. 1t scarcely seems possible to
have made precipitation more oppor-
tune than at present. The spring was
delayed so vegetation would not start
too early and get caught like it was
In 10. Just about the proper time there
was heavy rainfaI along about the
middle OF April. Three weeks of ideal
weather followed, giving the farmers
an opportunity to get in their grain.
Then the splendid recent rains came
and were just right to benefit the crops.
The moisture was widespread and
conditions are highly satisfactory from
every standpoint. The farmers are
feeling optimistic and enthusiastic.
Business is greatly improved and the
outlook could scarcely be more en-
couraging.

Tales Of the Street

Lee Muckenfuss, the successful
young manager Of the Orpheum, called
Muck" by the Gardner bunch, invited
three Of his good friends the other
night to a dance given by one Of the
lodges to which he belongs. 1t was
sort of an impromptu invitation on
Muck's part, for he didn't think of go
ing himself until late in the evening
after the performance at the theater,
at which the same three fellows had
been his guests.
So when the quartet arrived on the
brilliant scene of the Dance most Of
the programmes were filled, and they
had to jump in and steal dances
wherever they could. Muck took his
guests around and introduced them to
the girls and the others of the COM
pany. A little later, in commenting
on some Of those he had just met,
Tom, one of the three guests. turned
to Muck and said:
Singular name that girl has you
just introduced me to-Miss Post
script"
"Oh,' laughed Muck. did l really
call her that to her face? That's just
nickname the fellows have for her.
Her name is Alkaline Moore"

FUTURE CITIZENS.

New York has only about 1000, 900
American-born citizens.
1t has almost 100000 Italians.
All other foreign-born citizens num-
Der about 100000.
These startling statements about
Greater New York are made in an in
teresting volume just published by
Monroe Royce-entitled. The Passing
OF the American.
To state the case plainly. about one
nth Of Greater New York's population
is American.
And the situation is no less critical
in many other cities near the eastern
seaboard, according to Mr.. Royce. In
Waterbury, Conn, two-thirds Of the
population is foreign-born. New Hav-

ropeans. The same is true of many
of the New Jersey cities near New
York.

so that they might be assimtlated-as
the Irish and the Germans and the
Scandinavians were-Mr. Royce would
be less apprehensive. He sees little
hope Of making good citizens out of
such great numbers Of Latins as are
now congesting in the popuIous CEN
tiers.
Unless steps be taken to break up
Foreign settlements in American cities
that the newcomers may come in
direct contact with American customs
and learn the English language-the
process Of assimilating the millions Of
Immigrants will be slow and uncer-
tain.

BuRkE's BIG PLAY.

When Governor Burke appeared In
Fargo recently at the meeting of the
representatives Of commercial clubs to
raise funds to continue farmers in
stitute work-he scored the board of
directors of that department.
In an effort to shift the responsibility
for hts veto Of the appropriation for
the farmers Institutes he sought
lawyer hke-to becloud the real issue
by starting something else to divert
attention.
He made a grand stand play because
the board had used more appropria-
tions during the past year than the
amount it should have for any twelve
months.
He did not take into consideration
the work was never more badly needed
than during the past year. He did not
realize the farmers were in more re-
eeptive mood. Immediate work when
they were eager to learn meant more
LIlhu I'VE IlHlSb TIC SLOAI CT NltuSo
when they were Indifferent.
The governor had merely gone along
his plan Of throwing the harpoon into
the farmers at every opportunity. Sore
at being caught and exposed once more
he tried to hold the institute board
up as the scape goat-because it had
overdrawn it's funds.
Had the governor desired to be fair
why didn't he explain that over
drawing appropriations was custom
airy. 1t was not only done by many
institutions and departments long be-
fore Burke became governor-but dur
ing his terms.
He is familiar with instances of this
kind-if he is keeping in touch with
the conditions. He knows-if he has
done his duty-that other departments
have been and are now overdrawn.
The habit is undoubtedly bad one,
but there are plenty of precedents.
Trying to put the farmers institute
board in the hole is along the line of
the methods some times used by dem
agogues.
