At the regular meeting of
the board of directors of the
School of Forestry consisting
Of Frank Peltier of Dunseith,
w. S. Wheelon of Towner, and
DR.. A. r. MacKay of this city,
which was held in the city last
week, plans for the raising OF
seedlings for the distribution
to land owners of the state,
were gone over. 1t was decid-
ed to rent additional land be-
sides the thirty. three acres
owned by the school. 1t is
planned to raise enou gh so that
even allowing for all possible
loss, other than Complete de-
struction by hail, that there
will be for distribution IN the
spring of 1915, at least one mil
lion seedlings. The trees that
have been found by past ex-
perience to be suited for growth
in North Dakota will be raised
almost exclusively.
1t is urged that landowners
of the state wishing trees for
planting next spring will file
applications at once that the
proper seedlings may be raised
for them and such varieties as
they may desire may be gotten
ready for 1915.
Requests for trees have been
received from practically every
county in the state. AS the
news of this free distribution
of trees become better known
the demand will undoubtedly
run. into several millions per
year. Requests for the tree
bulletins containing the regu.
lations governing the distribu-
ton of trees are coming in in
great numbers, due to the fact,
that newspapers of the state
have given this considerable
publicity the past few weeks.
The board found the general
affairs of the school to be in
excellent condition. The at
tendance for the past year is
the largest in the history OF the
school, the total at the present
time being 121. This is q veTy
large increase over last year,
when the total enrolment was
but SO. The school is planning
for more intensive and more
practical work in forestry,
agriculture, domestic science
and manual training for the
coming year. A strong course
will be offered in farm carpen
try, which will be sonnet ing
different from what has been
offered in former years.
The following instructors
were elected as a faculty for
the year 1014-15. Fred w.
Smith, forestry and biology;
NJ. r. Shuler, agriculture; Jam
net Mcdonald, household arts;
w. Morris Jones. manual train
ing; Lucy Lawrence, CONNER
cial department.; Clarence e..
Chandler, voice and piano;
Belma Solseth, bookkeeping.
The two new members are Miss
Janet Nc Donald and w. Morris
Jones. Miss Mcdonald is a
graduate of the Waukesha high
school, the st. Clara academy
at Waukesha, Wisconsin, and
she will graduate this year from
the four-year course at the Mil
waukee- Downer college at Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, where she
is specializing in domestic
science. Mr.. w. Morris Jones
has been a student of the Illi-
nois state normal school, the
university of Illinois. the Brad

MISS ANNA {. nlnnln
DIED SUNDAY MORNING
Nigh 3ehool Principal Passed Away ai
s., Andrews Hospital After
3hoYi illness

The people of this city were
shocked beyond expression
Sunday morning when it be-
came known that Miss Anna
E. Hinman. principal of the
high school. had died at 8
O'Clock that morning at St.
Andrews hospital. Every
where could be heard express
sions of heartfelt sorrow and
sincere regret. Miss Hinman
had been in poor health since
the Christmas vacation but at
tended to her school duties un-
til last Tuesday morning when
she was compelled to give up
her work. She kept growing
worse until forced to take to
her bed and Saturday afternoon
was removed to st. Andrews
hospital. All that medical skill
could accomplish was done but
she failed rapidly until death
came to relieve her of all earth
ly. cares, and the spirit of a
noble. character was waited
back to it's Maker, death being
caused by heart trouble and
pleurisy. ~. ...-.,. .
Miss Hinman came to Botti-
neau from her home in Chica-
go last fall to assume the duties
of the principalship of the high
school and made many warm
friends both in the. schools and
out by her cheerful disposition
and kindly ways. Prior to COM
ing here Miss Hinman taught
in the English department of
the Grand Forks high school
for twelve years and has many
friends there who will be griev-
ed to hear of her death. Miss
Hinman was the oldest of a
family of three children, and
besides being a liberal provider
for the little home at Grand
Crossing. Illinois, was also the
chief comforter of an invalid,
widowed mother. The remoy-
al by death of any member of a
family is indeed hard to bear,
but when a daughter and only
provider is snatched from a
home left sad by the death of q
husband and father. the burden
must seem unbearable, and the
home that is left darkened by
the visit of the Angel of Death
can never be the same. Her
life was an earnest one, and in
every family in the city today
there is a feeling that there is
lost to all more than a friend
and teacher. 7
Short funeral services were
held from Weaver's undertak.
ing parlors at IL: 80 p. N. Mon
day, Rev. Walker officiating.
fterwhich the body was ac-
cOmpanied to the train by a
large and sorrowing crowd, the
students of the high school and
all the teachers attending in a
body. The remains were ship
ped to the aged mother and
sister at Grand Crossing. 1lli-
nois. To the bereayed relatives
the sincere sympathy of the
community is cold consolation
indeed.

Get quietly ready" was the reply.

Get quietly ready" was the reply.
Meanwhile there was an argument
between the captain and the colonel's
daughter. He sought to assure her
that nothing had been seen and that
there was not the slightest danger;
but, to his annoyance, she persisted In
believing that there must be good
grounds for the corporal's report. This
annoyance made him delay matters.
and nearly half an hour had passed,
and 1t was very much against the
grain when he shouted for the soldier
to approach and sneeringly added:
"Well, corporal, isn't it about time
your Indians showed up?"
1--WE shall hear from them in ten
minutes" was the reply, but If we
mounted now and rode fast we would
find the way open," said the corporal,
with downcast eyes.
Back. you impudent vagabond?'
Numbered the captain with outstretch-
ed arms. "rll break you for this the
minute we get backv'
The corporal turned his gaze on the
girl for a few fieeting seconds; then
his head and shoulders dropped in a
helpless way, and he saluted his officer
and retired.
Bang, bang. bang, went the carbines
of the troopers. and the corporal came
running up the hill to seize and drag
the officer under shelter and to say
to the girl:
"You must crouch down here and re
main quiet. They can't get at you till
they have killed the last one of usv'
BY and by she missed the reports of
the carbines, and the sound of foot
steps echoed In her ears.
Come" said the corporal as he lift
ed her up.
"Oh, Robert, and have you beaten
them OFF," she exclaimed
"No. My men are all dead, and the
Indians will rush rs In minute"
"And we-we''-

and assisted her to the rock. on which

Better this than thatw he said as
he pointed from the lake to score of
Indians advancing.
Eyes. better thisw she murmured as
she took fast hold Of him and put up
her face to be kissed. and the savages
stopped In their advance and shrieked
and screamed their disappointment.
BY and by they advanced and looked
down into the lake, but 1t had no story
to tell.

Crockford's
Wife
By SADIE OLCOTT

One day man named Crockford
went to his bank, drew $500 and was
about to go out when he stopped and
said to the paying teller:
Look right over my shoulder. You
see that young italian looking fellow
with striped waistcoat and felt hat
with fancy band? Well, when l got
through counting the money you paid

fellow looking ut the bills with Gov

going?'

The disappearance of Stephen Crock

of the close of the nineteenth century.
The police had a very strong clew, but

They were going to make ride to
the foothills and back-Captain Cline
and the colonel's daughter. That
meant gallop of thirty miles.
"Not an Indian has been seen this
side of the range for four MONTHS
said the captain as he talked over the
proposed ride with the colonel, "and
the trip DIS perfectly safe. l will de-
tail an escort from my own company,
but it will be only for appearance
sake"
Eyes, it will be safe, and May will
enjoy the gallop," said the colonel, and
no more was said about it.
AT sunrise all We're ready to set forth.
As the girl stood on the veranda wait
ing for her horse six of the men of
troop came riding up under com
mand of Corporal Haynes. They halt.
ed thirty feet away, and as she look
ed them over she gave start of sur
prise, and flush overspread her face.
Next moment her cheeks went white.
and she gasped as If choked for breath.

his head was uncovered for an instant,
and. Private Harkins whispered to Pri-

And the corporal isn't bit easy in
his mind" added the other.
1t all took place in minute, and
then Captain Cline rode up, followed
by the girls horse.
The two riders went galloping away,
followed at a distance of 100 yards by
the escort. Now and then the pace
was slackened down bit to breathe
the horses, but no halt was made I'M
til the Devils basin was reached. The
escort halted forty yards from the rid
ers, and the men sat about on the
rocks. Meanwhile Corporal Haynes
climbed to the top Of great bowlder
and surveyed the country about with
his keen eyes. 1t was three-quarters
of an hour before he came down and
said:
Men, see to your arms and lie close.
I'm going up to report to the captain"

as the corporal came to a halt and sa-

Its all nonsense"
But there are Indians skuking
about, SIR" persisted the corporal
Go back to your men, was the sui
len reply.
When he had reached the troopers he
quietly said:
Men, I have been up to the captain
to report that there is band Of at
least fifty Indians skulking down this
way from Red Bird pass. They have
seen us. and they are after us. We've
got good cover, and we can stand 'em
on for the day."

the iatuers disappearance Hardw1ck
had been promoted to be the financial
man Of the firm.
A year passed, during which nothing
was heard of Crockford. Mrs. Crock
ford was complained of by Hardwick
for inefficiency several times and at
last notified the firm that she must
leave or he would do so himself. She
was informed of the fact and told that
since Hardwick was an excellent ac-
countant and willing to work for a
Slere 1.-THE of what he was worth they
had decided that she must go. She
asked to be kept till the end of the
month, and her request was granted.
One evening Mrs Crockford tele-
phoned Mr. Englehart that Hardwick
was a defaulter and about to take to
flight. She begged that Hardwick be
arrested or kept i'll sight. Englehart
discredited the information, but put a
watch on Hardwick

SElF-EVIDE mt,

1nasmuch as the Fargo Forum and
the Grand Forks Herald have chal.
lenged us to show where a saving
could be effected in the administra-
ton of the educational institutions,
we will offer in the near future a
series of articles touching on the ed
vocational system.
The Tribune's attitude is taken only
in the interests of economy and eff.
cheney. There Is nothing hostile or
insinuating about it. 1t has been the
custom of the institutional heads and
the press of institutional towns to re.
sent any criticism or airing of insti.
tutio1al matters.
OF course, this is a narrow policy
The tax payers have a right to know
how the educational dollar is being
'disbursed. No harm can come of a
full discussion of our educational at.
fairs.
These institutions do not belong to
the localities in which ahey happen
to be located. They should be co.
ordinate units in a great efficient ed
vocational system.
There should be no place for rivalry
between them. DR.. McVey asks why
we did not show up conditions at the
Agricultural College? Much that has
been said about the University applies
also to the Agricultural College. The
manipulation that has been going on
among the Agricultural College trus.
tees over a successor to Worst has
aroused the curiosity of the public.
Let us see if we cannot get the
present efficiency at a less cost. If
we cannot, the Tribune will be the
ldSL Ouc W COulp1dlu.
DR.. McVey has just mailed to mem
beers of the legislature an interesting
little booklet setting forth certain
features Of the University. The idea
is a good one. The law makers should
study the educational situation from
all angles. 1t will be n of the vital
issues before the next legislature.
Out of the agitation, the Tribune
hopes will come the placing of the
educational institutions under one
board of regents and their financial
MANAGEMENT under the state board OF
control, where it belongs.

districts. OF the co. 69 persons adj
mitted to insane hospitals in 1910,
1864 came from cities, villages, OF
other incorporated places Of more
than $500 inhabitants, while 20, 442
came from the smaller towns or
country districts, leaving 3,7G3 for
whom the place of residence was not
reported. OF more significance, how
ever, r the statistics showing the
number Of admissions in proportion
to the total population of each class
of communities. From rural commu-
mites %forty-One insane persons were
admitted per 100000 population;
from the urban communities the ratio
was eighty-six per 100000. These
figures cover the entire United
States, but there is a similar diff
ference in all sections of the coun-
try. Everywhere the ratio Of admis.
sions is higher, and usually much
higher, from urban than from rural
communities, although the contrast is
rather less striking in New England
than in other geographic divisions. 1t
seems probable, therefore, that the
increase in the proportion of total
population living in cities has result
ed in an increase Of insanity.
Vice and Dissipation.
A partial explanation of the diff
ference between city and country, as
regards their contributions to the
hospitals fer the insane, is found in
the statistics of cases of general
paralysis and of alcoholic psychosis.
These are forms Of insanity which,
directly or indirectly, are caused by
vice or dissipation. OF the total
number of persons admitted to hos
pitfalls in 1910, 16.S per cent, or more
than cne-sixth, were afflicted with one
or the other of these diseases. This
class of cases, however, formed only
l0.4 per cent, or o%ne-tenth, of the ad-
missions from rural communities, as
compared with twenty-o1e per cent,
or one-ifth, of the admissions from
urban communities. The ratio OF
cases to 100000 population was
4.2 for rural communities, as com
pared with eighteen for urban; that
is to say, in proportion to population,
from the city we're about four and
One-half times as numerous as those
from the country.
When the cases of alcoholic psy-
Ghosts and general paralysis are left
out of account, the ratio of admission
to hospitals for the insane still re-
mains higher from urban communi-
ties than from rural, but the contrast
becomes less striking, the ratio for
the other cases of insanity being six
per 100000 for urban popula-
ton, as compared with thirty-seven
per 100000 for rural.
