corded the visitors was most
cordial, the people of the viii
lage and from the country ad-
jacent having gathered to greet
the tourists.
The next stop was at One
NEE and the people of our
neighboring town were not
outdone by any of the places
visited in their efforts to give
the visitors a royal welcome.
Willow City was reached
shortly before the close of the
first ball game between the
Willow team aud Deloraine
and as the places of business
had been closed for the game,
sall went to the ball park. At
the close of the game the
boosters were given the use of
the ball grounds and the band
rendered a few selections. The
visitors were extended a cordial
invitation to remain for the
second game, but were unable
to do so as the original sche-
dule had to be maintained. The
boosters will long remember
the cordial reception given
them at Willow City.
After a dusty ride over good
roads the party reached the
oasis of Overly where supper
was served to the tourists at
the two excellent hotels in that
town. After supper the band
gave a short concert and the
start made for Dunseith, O. c..
Thompson acting as pilot.
Overly has some live wire
business men.
A stop of twenty minutes
was made at Dunseith, the only
town visited in Rolette county.
A large crowd had gathered to

greet the visitors and the time
here was very pleasantly spent.
The run home was made ac-
cording to schedule, the boost
ers arriving here promptly at
8: 40 p. m., tired but happy.
There had not been a single ac-
cident or unpleasant incident
to detract from the pleasure of
the trip and the entire 215 miles
had been made on schedule
time. G. II. Gleason drove the
pilot car and he proved an ex-
cellent pathfinder.
Upon arriving in the city the
cars all lined up at the inter
section of Main and Fifth
streets and after a short con-
cert by the Bottineau Military
band, e. c. Bowen. who had
acted in the capacity of spokes-
man for the party on the tour,
gave short account of the trip
and closed his remarks with a
stirring appeal to the citizens
of Bottineau to cultivate more
civic pride, to forget pact dis
sensions and work in harmony
for the advancement of the
city. After three cheers for
the Bottineau Military band,
the crowd dispersed.
The model monoplane con-
structed by Fl. O. Sheldon and
carried on the entire trip at
tracted much attention and
was the feature of the tour. 1t
was an exact reproduction of a
Bleriot monoplane a nd at each
place visited the Gro wd soon
thronged around the car that
carried the model of the mon
strous bird of the air.. The
fair association should feel very
grateful to Mr.. Sheldon for

The members Of the party
that spent two days visiting
the towns Of the county boost
ing the Bottineau County fair,
returned home on schedule
time Wednesday evening. The
trip was successful far beyond
the expectations Of it's promot-
ers and the boosters were given
a most cordial reception in
every town visited.
The start from Bottineau
was made Tuesday few
minutes after 8 o'clock, with
sixteen automobiles in line.
Carbury was reached on sche-
dule time. The, entire popula-
ton of the village and a num-
Der Of people from the SUR
rounding country had gather
ed to greet the tourists. The
Bottineau Military band rem
dered a few selections, after
which the machines were lined
up in their regular order and
the start made for the next
stop at Souris.
The machines maintained
the same order throughout the
trip and much the same pro-
gram was carried out at every
stop.
A stop of thirty minutes was
made in Souris and the boosters
were given an enthusiastic
greeting.
Short stops were made at
Roth and Landa and there was
a good crowd out to meet the
tourists at both these places.
Westhope was reached at
12:O 20. Here the boosters were
met by a delegation of citizens
headed by Mayor w. ]. Rey-
nolds. and the entire party

gave a concert. Nothing was
left undone by the people oi
Lansford in making the stay 81
the visitors pleasant and com.
Portable. All were nicely cared
for at the hotel or in the homes
of citizens and all were sorry to
bid goodby to their hosts when
the time for departure came
Wednesday morning.
Promptly at 8: 80 o'clock the
start for Hurd was made. Here
only short stop was made and
the procession headed for Max
bass. At Maxbass there was a
good crowd out to meet the in.
vaders and the twenty-tninute
stop here was made enjoyable
by the citizens.
Eckman was next in line and
north OF this place coterie Of
enthusiastic road butchers were
tearing up the earth in such a
manner that it was almost inn
possible for the cars to pass.
After short visit at Eckmari,
the start was made for Russell,
which was reached ahead of
schedule time. At both Eek
man and Russell the visitors
were treated with the utmost
consideration and shown every
courtesy.
Newburg was reached in
time tor dinner and the party
cared for very nicely at the
the hotel in that village. An

gathered to meet the visitors
and make them welcome.

and the visitore were given a
cordial reception. Each of the
party was given a badge with
the inscription Bottineau,
Welcome to Antler, Co me
Again. = The visitors were in
deed made welcome and will
come again when opportunity
offers.
The twenty-five mile run
from Antler to MohaIl was
made in good time, the party
being piloted by F. A. Rinkel,
who accompanied the boosters
as far as Lansford. A stay of
thirty minutes at Mohall prov
ed that the citizens of the
countyseat of our neighboring
county have friendly feeling
for Bottineau. They left moth
ing undone in showing the
visitors a good time and prom
ised to send a good-sized dele
CATION to the fair.
At Truro, the tourists were
met by six auto loads of the
members Of the Lansford Com
mercial club, headed by Presi-
dent G. G. Banks, who turned
ed over the keys of the city to
the visitors and escorted them
into town. After a fine supper

Teachers Salaries In North Dakota

The average annual salary
paid to public school teachers
in the United states as a whole
is $485. In one state the aver
age is only $500 per year. The
wages received by school
teachers constitute measure
of two things; first, the quality
of ability of the teacher; Sec
ond, the value the community
puts upon the teachers SER
vices. The fact that teachers
wages are lower than those
paid for almost any other sort
of service means that as a ma
tion we are neither asking for
nor getting q high grade of
service and as q nation we
place q low valuation on the
teachers work.
Statistics show that we stand
thirty-second in the matter Of
the number Of school teachers
employed. There are teaching
in the public schools Of this
state {. 1897 men and women
who receive total Of 81, 6Ol, 100
annually. This il an average
Of only 1888. 90 per teacher per
year. This state gets more
value than that from ito teach
err and il should pay them
more.
