Communications

Editor of the Bismarck Tribune: An
article appeared in last evenings issue
OF the Tribune advertising an enter
tainment given by the young people of
the Presbyterian Church under the
title, "What Could Poor Boy Do?"
The members Of the c. E. society under
whose auspices this entertainment is
given disclaim any responsibility for
the article; they knew nothing of it
until I called their attention to it.
Who wrote it l do not know, nor do
I care, but it is not the kind of thing
that we are going to stand for. We
don't advertise our goods that way.
We believe in lots of innocent fun;
that's, why we plan this and other en-
tertainments; but we are unalterably
opposed to the language and the spirit
OF the article that appeared last even
ing.

The voters of Ringgold county
will be given the opportunity at the
general election November 9th to
vote on the proposition of authoriz-
ing the board Of supervisors to levy
a tax of not to exceed one mill on
the dollar on all taxable property OF
the county for the purpose Of Great
ing q. fund to, defray the expenses
of prospecting for coal. The Dill
which made such procedure pos
sible was introduced at the thirty
fourth session of the. General Assem-
bly, by Hon. J. A. Stephenson OF this
county. Many years ago the propo-
sition of prospecting for the pur-
pose of ascertaining what lay De-
meath the rich land OF R1nggold
county was considered and A. Il.
Shrimplin, of this city, presented
the matter to the board OF super
visors. 1t was then learned that
the board had no. authority to ex-
pend money for prospecting. Mr.
Shrimplin presented the matter to
Mt. Stephenson when he became the.
Ringgold county member OF the leg
islature and the result was that the.
bill was introduced and became law.
If the voters authorize the board to
lew the tax fund to be known as
the prospecting fund will be Great
ed and the board will have the
power to receive bids for ascertain
ing whether or not coal may exist
in the county and contracts Tor
prospecting shall be let to the low
est responsible bidder. The super
.visors have authorized Auditor
