Smith continued, the bears would

at US as we went by and that we

none of them ever caught fish that

The Williston public schools
will open for the year next Tues
day morning and on that day the
seven hundred and six pupils of
school age that make up the en-
semble will take up the duties of
the school year, .t .
Since his arrival two months
ago Superintendent Forster has
been busy organizing the schools
according to his plans. In an
interview the superintendent said:
''The schools are in good condition
and it would seem to me there is
need for no great change in the
system, but a new management
must almost necessarily mean diff
ferent management, and I have
been making certain changes to
bring the system nearer my own
views. I do not claim perfection
or greatness for my schemes, but
I must necessarily conduct my
schools after my own plans or not
at all.
Several new courses of study
have been arraigned and printed
and will be in use the coming year.
Education if it means anything
means the rounded development of
character through head, hand and
heart; means the development of
the physical and the spiritual as
we'll as the mental. In accord with
this idea there is need for a course
in morals and manners, a course
in physical training and a course
in mind training along with the
text book subjects and the manual
training courses. The work of the
two months past since my arrival
in the City of Opportunity has
been spent mostly in work upon
the courses-the greasing of the
wheels as it were.
Eyes, the schools are crowded
beyond all realization upon the
part of the uninitiated; the high
school will enroll probably one
hundred and forty pupils the COM
ing year and we have seating ca
pacity for about one hundred only.

GOOD ROADS;
THEIR PROMISES
ARTICLE FROM The PEN OF PAUL
CRlSSEY OF The AMERICAN
LUMBERMAN

One hundred millions of dollars
for good roads! One hundred
million times as much money as
the government ever spent to make
the country roads a little easier
for traffic! That is what a promin-
ent United States senator has re-
Gently advocated. Think Of it
just to I'll up the ruts and the
holes to make pulling a trifle easier
for q few tired farmers horses.
Whye Because the people of
the United States have at last come
to see that there is but little else in
this country so fundamentally
necessary to the individual welfare
Of each citizen as are good roads.
That is the answer. It appears,
on the face of it, q perfectly SIM
pie answer and one that at first
thought does not provoke much
interest and arouses no astonish-
ment. And yet the gospel of good
roads has come to mean salvation
for the dying towns and the sick
communities as we'll as for that
greater evil-the high cost of
living.
Never before in the history of
this country has there been such,
an awakening as that which re-
suited recently from the scientific
study of the economic conditions
now in existence. The citizens
physicians who made the diagnosis
have stated that bad roads are at
the bottom Of the existing high
prices of necessities. Why's There
are several answers. One of them
is best illustrated by the story of
the woman in a small town who
recently went into a grocery store
and asked the price of eggs. The
storekeeper quoted his price.
"Why!" she exclaimed. ''Tbat
is more than they ought to be at
this time of the year-6 cents more
than l ever paid BEFORE"
I know that,' replied the mer-
chant, but it can't be helped.
The roads have been so bad lately
that the farmers won't bring in
their products
That is the whole story in
nutshell. There are many others
like it, some more important than
others. That same woman probab-
ly placed her order with a mail
order grocery house ..leaving the
express company to deliver the
goods irrespective of the condi-
tion of the roads. The merchant
in the story lost a customer, the
farmer lost a chance to market his
products, and the woman finally
found that she had paid a big
price for her goods after oil and
all Of this because the roads were
bad.

MANDAN IN :. PORT
CANE m TUESDAY ENR0uTE FROM ST.
LOUIS TO THE MOUTH OF
MILK RIVER

The u. S. S. Mandan landed at
Williston Tuesday morning COM
ing from down river points and
stopping for coal and orders from
Major Schulz. The Mandan ran
into bad snag territory about thir-
ty miles below here that was the
worst of any found between here
and St. Louis and wired the Kan
sas City headquarters regarding
dropping back and spending . few
days more at that point snagging
However instruction was received
here Tuesday evening to proceed
on to the mouth of Milk river, if
the Mandan could be pushed up
that far and the steamer left yes
terday with that point in view.
The boat spent the winter at the
Gasconade boat yard near St.
Louis and while there underwent
q complete overhauling. The boat
was built in 1891 and its boiler
iron hull has been raked on Mis-
souri, river sandbars for the, past
twenty years until it had become
so thin in some portions as be un--
safe hence the putting in of new
hull last winter.
The steamer left Gasconade last
May and since that time has been
steadily pursuing its way up
stream removing snags.
The Missouri river snag is in
the trunk of a tree cut off by the
beaver, blown out by the roots or
cut off by the hand Of man that
the shifting current drives into the
sandy bottom and leaves sticking
up to menace river navigation.
The snag always slants down
stream and the wide bow of the
boat is run under it and cut off
with saws and allowed to float
away in sections. ~.~ ----. . "
A crew of seventeen men oper-
ate the boat Captain Gould COM
manding and j. L. Halloran, clerk.
The captain is an old river man
and first laid eyes on the site of
Williston in 1868 when as a young
man he first came up the river
with the Hiram Wood freighting
from St. Louis to Fort Benton.
At the time Williston site lay far
back from the river and the stream
followed the course of the McKen-
zie county bluffs, mile and a half
from it's present bed.
The boat has an exhibit of three
beaver stumps that range in diam
eter from eighteen to thirty inches
across that have been cut off by
these animals. These stumps are
picked up and taken to the Histor-
ical societies of Sioux City and
Kansas City.
