SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

The meeting of the county trustees
association Saturday is one of the
most important Of the year, COM
ing as ii does early in the session
when plans are being formulated for
the years work. The trustee who is
absent from this meeting will not on
~ fail to secure the full benefits Of the
organization, but his absence will in
itself dctract from the force and Of
fcctircncsS Of the meeting, as the
benefits derived from the organ
ization are largely those which como
out OF u compact body.
Doubtless some Of the school trus-
tees underestimate the Importance OF
the association and it's power for
good. The fact that it is composed Of
those leading citizens Of the county
in whose hands arc entrusted the re-
sponsibility Of providing houses, teach
ers, general supplies, besides the
supervision of the schools themselves,
around which the intellectual life Of
the communities centre, makes Of the
trustee association an important body
indeed, one in which concerted ac-
tivity along right lines would be a
powerful stimulus for education in the
county. On the other hand, passive
membership in the association will not
be 4 benefit to the members or the
association and such member is
not doing his full duty to himself,
his school or the county lGnthusias-
tic cooperation and interchange Of
ideas are the kcynotcs OF all the asso-
citation meetings and every trustee in
the county should attend them to ben
eft by and contribute to their sue
ccss.
Properly organized and interested
in tho work before them, the trustee
association will DC an effective force
in putting into operation the plans Of
the officers at the head Of the county
and state departments of education.
With such 4 potent influence at their
backs, these officers could more cf-
fectually execute the plans painfully
and laboriouSly thought out by them
and thus justify in fuller degree the
large expenditure for their salaries
and for all departments Of the state
and countys educational system.

N. Oak. Bills
Lost in Shuttle

Bismarck, N. D., March 3d.
Three measures which. according
to the records of the house and
senate, were passed and should
have been sent to the governor
for his signature, were never turn
ed over to the enrolling force and
so are not on record as laws of the
state.
Senator Walls bill, 100, relat-
ing to township officers bonds,
was one measure lost in this way,
as was Senator Englund's con-
current resolution memoralizing
Congress to allow American cit
liens who return from Canada to
re-establish their citizenship after
a residence of one year here.
Representative Williams reso-
luton calling on congress to take
action towards the Mississippi
river floods was the third bill to
lose out in this way
1t was probably just a case of
carelessness on the part of some
one. as none of the bills or meas
ures are of such importance that

At special meeting of the board
of county commissioners held at
Amidon upon call by the county
auditor it was decided to build a
new courthouse at Amidon, work
upon which is expected to start
in the near future.
1t was decided to build about
a $4,000 or $4,000 building,
which will be of frame with Jail
facilities in the basement. 1t was
hardly expected and not at all

a county building be constructed

enjoyable program of songs and

about 800, the entertainment be-
ing under the auspices of the Ep-

The Ham organization is one
of the best that has ever visited
Redlands. Not only were they
good in the Southern plantation
melodies and revival songs, but
their singing of such classical sell
ections as the quartet from
"Rigoletto" and the tenor solo,
Woman Is Fickle," from the
same opera, were more than cred
liable. The company is compos-
ed of three ladies and four gentle
men, and the program included
