MINING At HILLTOP

Hilltop is hound to win as a min
ing camp according to c. J. Nelson
who left for his home in the min
ing town yesterday. Chris is a nat
ural born booster and big figures
run from his tongue gracefully,
when he sees, in fact or fancy, Hill
tops future as a producer of the
precious metals. He tells many
inter esting facts to support his
belief in his home town, and the
figures he gives are equally ms con-
vincing. Two lcasers on the big
mountain at Hilltop are making
good money and there are a few
other good properties open to lease
round about. One thing in favor
of leasing at this camp is that a
mill is in operation there owned by
the Hilltop Milling and Reduction
Company which is doing custom
work for leasers thus saving tran
portation charges. The bullion Is
shipped direct to the mint while
mine m are paid cash on de-
livery a. the mill. Parties desir-
ing TO lease gold properties will do
we'll TO investigate Hilltop. Con-
ditions are ideal and the whole
country is highly m%ineralized.

COST OF EDUCATION.

Public attention should be called 10
the fact that the figures recently cir
cula,ed in some OF the state papers
and intended to show the comparative
cost of education per individual per
annum in the different state institu-
lions, are very likely 10 be incorrect
and misleading. The. must be so, if
based, as would seem 70 be true. upon
the plainly defective method OF di.
viding the total cost to the state o.
running an institution for a given
year by the total number OF students
enrolled during the year. To correct
the method and to make the results
fair. the attendance in the different
institutions should be reduced to the
same basis. that is, the question asked
OF each institution should not be How
many students are enrolled during the
year in question: but. How many
students should be in attendance for
the full year, or any other length Of
time which could 'be made the same
for all institutions. in order that the
oTal attendance would be just the
same as it is for the actual number
of students enrolled. most of whom
are in attendance for different lengths
of time and some of whom are in al.
tendance for only very short times.
even as short as from one day to a
week. 1t is plain that the method
of computation which seems to have
been made use of TO obtain the fig
ures referred to. is very much to the
advantage of these institutions who
have many students enrolled in short
courses" which may not exceed even
one week in length and as much to
the disadvantage of other institutions
which do not offer such short
courses" and which are not likely TO
have many students enrolled for less
than a full year or u .~.i term.
These figures which have been cir
culated by educational authorities
are very likely based upon methods
of computation for which a child in
the grades would be considered a dull
ard and perhaps denoted. They are
a fair sample of the half-baked and
unscientific statistics used to sway

ROAD LEGISLATION.

All kinds OF road bills are being
proposed at this session OF the legis
iature, from one making a simple pro-
vision for the payment of road taxes
as other taxes are paid TO others pro-
posing elaborate schemes for state
roads and state highway commissions
and ether features which are more or
less experimental. Z is uniortu-
nate that there has been such a scat.
tering OF effort. That our road laws
and practices are sadly in need OF re-
vision goes without saying. 1t is quite
likely that some OF the more elabo-
rate bills which are proposed contain
many good features. Tut at no time
is il possible TO include all that is
good in the laws OF any session. Meth
err is it possible in the field OF ex-
detrimental legislation 10 do just what
is good. in all eases.
Whatever mas be the merits OF
some OF the proposed changes in the
management OF road work, and in 9th
er changes of like character. the fact
remains that a very large number or
our people are unconvinced of the
merit of these changes. and are firmly
opposed to them. The single charge

advocated by the more conservative

roads committee OF the Grand Forks

made as close and careful a study Of
the subject as has been made any
where in the state. is that road taxes
shall be paid in the same manner as
all other taxes. namely. in cash. and
that road work shall be done as all
other public work is done, namely. by
contract. That change is simple ard
ca to understand. 1t has been made
elsewhere. and is being made in ali
progressive states. and we have yet -

COMMUNICATION

| BISMARCK, n. d., Feb. 6.-The
Times man had another spell. and this
time pours out his wrath on the coun-
tv commissioners and accuses me OF
being a coward because | did MOI vote
on the designation of his paper. In
the first place, ! intended. 10 investi-
gate to find out which paper was de-
serving of my support. The vote had
hardly been announced ,berore the
Times began with its personal roasts.
How. after that, could they, expect me
70 decide? y
Another spell had was in regard
to the commissioners letting the coal
contract to the highest bidder, but he
| did not tell his readers that there
was only ) cents per ton difference
on ,20) tons which wouia be SO. We
| got s,ung last ear for letting the
contract to parties that could not fur.
nish coal when we wanted it. Last
year | did vote to let the coal to the
| highest bidder, but Mr.. Packard has
paid S13 taxes into Burleigh county
| since he has been here, letting his
| honest commissioner out of the deal
| Ny share of that awful graft in coal
would have been $3.50. Now If Mr..
Packard can figure out what share
OF that awful graft he has paid and
can get a few of his bosom friends
to chip in and bust a penny for him
| so ne can make his own change | will
!! pay him back.
AS far as designating the paper,
did vote against the Times, and had
| advice from our states attorney that
there was a legal rate fiyed for coun-
ty printing, and we could not let the
contract on competitive bids, and
also thought that a paper which came
so far from telling the truth in re-
gard TO the work of the county COM
missioners would go back on its word
if awarded a contract.
The only reason the Times a have
for roasting me is because l would
not join with their bunch and do an
illegal act to put a man Or the board
that they said was acting illegal. As
for votes for reelection. will not do
the bidding of a little SKID paper for
votes, for. as county commissioner. l
| was elected by the people and intend
to serve the people TO the best OF my
ability. If those little would-be re-
formers want &c run the county bust
ness, let them be .<itient a little
