Col. Alex Scarlet, the great Scot
tish Chief, came down from Minot and
held glad reunion with Tammas
Wallace and other oatmeal oracles.
Col. Scarlet is one Of the best loved
men of the Northwest. He is known
far and wide for his admirable traits
Of heart and his splendid mentality.
He will 60 to Norway with the COVER
nor's party and will visit Scotland be-
fore he returns. The Colonel looks
the picture of rugged health and does
not appear to have passed the 72nd
milestone. He is the youngest man of
his age we eve saw. He says that the
good wife is we'll and happy.-Bis-
marck State.

are more than an acre. It is all graded
and level and has banks to hold the
water. They will undertake any or
binary sized hill and will make level
piece of land of it for cultivation. They
do not use any horses but carry their
dirt. l was here at the wrong time of
the year to see much Of their green
stuff but about March 16, everything
will be in full bloom. -,
They have what they call the
sherry blossom carnival, one of
their grandest events. The sherry
trees were just budding when was
there. The trees do not bear any fruit,
just flowers, and they say it is grand
sight tc see them in bloom. I believe
more people live on one acre in Japan
than in whole township in North
Dakota.
We went from Nagashki to Manila.
Before quitting Japan, I wish to say
that one cannot take a camera on land
in any port where they have fortifica-
tions. On the way to Manila, we went
by the island of Formosa. We were
told that we would get to Manila rath-
e. early and if we wanted to see the
fortified island to be up. So ] was up
break of day. And fortified port it
is. Nobody need worry that any for
eign country will ever take it by wat
er as it is as we'll fortified as Gibral-
tar, and some say it is even better.
The island which lies at the entrance
of the bay controls both sides of the
land as there is a channel where boats
go in and out on either side of the
fortifcation. On one side it has only
about one mile. On the wider is
where Dewey went in.

SHOULD VOTE AT I.
SATURDAYS ELECTION
1T IS IMPORTANT THAT THE
BOND ISSUE FOR NEW SCHOOL
BUILDING SHOULD CARRY =
MEANS A SAVING TO TAX
PAYERS.

It is important that the $40, 900
bond issue for Minot's new school
building carries at the election,
Saturday, May 2. Bonds draw only
4 per cent, whereas if warrants
have to be issued for the build
ings, it means that z per cent in
terest will be paid. There seems
to be little opposition to the issu-
ing of bonds, yet it is important
that every voter gets out at this
election.

Farmers Wives are Good Cooks.

The dinner given at the basement
of St. Leo's Catholic church Sunday
by the farmers wives, demonstrated
that the wives of our tillers of the
soil know how to cook. A crowd of
not less than 300 was fed at the church
and there was food enough on hand
to have satisfied the appetites of as
many more. Among the good ladies
from the country in charge of the

a good many others.
