IT the enthusiasm shown at the

SPRING COLONIsT TRAFFIC
BEGINS TO MOVE
No. Passed Through the City on Sun
day Evening in Two Sections.

Already the spring colonist trade is
beginning TO move westward, some fcr
the Canadian northwest, some for
Montana and others for Pacific coast
points. No. on the Great Northern
came through in two sections Sunday
evening loaded to the guards with
homeseekers, most Of them bound for
the far western part of this country
and some for Montana. The settlers
comprise people of every description
and race, but those who have watched
the tide Of immigration as it passes
through Devils Lake declare enphati-
cally that every year the class of pco-
pie who are settling in the west is be-
coming better. The colonists go to
their new homes with more money and
are better equipped to improve their
land. This is particularly true of the
ne wsettlers in North Dakota. The
time has passed when a living can be
wrested from North Dakota land with
out capital to begin with and the re-
suit has been that every year North
Dakota has been securing a better
class Of new settlers.

tributes of the deceased, his Christian
life and his steadfast aim towards

that he leaves behind him hundreds o
true friends whose sorrow lies closel
with that of his near relatives.

SCHOOL FIGHT At RUGBY
PROF. SCOTT REFUSES TO BE
oUsTED AND ATTEMPTS TO
CREATE DISRUPTION.

Prof. W. A. Scott, former princip,
Of the public schools at Emerado, has
become involved in fierce school
fight at Rugby which has served to
create a great deal of excitement in
that city. 1t appears that the Rugby
board Of education requested Mr..
Scott S resignation, failing to give any
reasons for such action. That fact
is responsible for the present stir,
and before final settlement is reached
it is probable that the state depart
ment will be brought in, several hay
ing signifed their intention of circu-
lating petitions with the idea in view
of havin gthe superintendent of pub
lie instruction couse Investigation to
be made.

A vigorous protest was entered by
the Devils Lake Commercial Club on
Wednesday evening against the propos-

Governor hands. The plan is not a
good one and has been demonstrated as
a failure in Minnesota. It hampers
the patronizing Of home industries and
does not procure much cheaper rates.

ST. PArR1cK's DAY.

Today is St. Patrick's Day,
the day when the green is in
evidence and the Orangeman
crawls into a hole and pulls the
hole in after him, the day of the
clay pipe and the shamrock, the
day of the harp and the shille-
lah. st. Patrick was the man
who is given credit with driv
ing the snakes out Of Ireland,
but this fact is nearly lost sight
of when we witness the lengthy

as to pass every Irishman's
