TO COMPLETE RAILROAD
LINKS IN NO. DAKOTA

According to Il new story
from st. Paul the Northern Pa
cilic and Great Northern are
beginning to plan Oh talking up
the work OF extending their sup
Elementary lines through North
Dakota. Both the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific
have lines surveyed which, when
complete, will give them two
complete and distinct trunk
lines each, through the state.
The Great Northern proposes
to build from New Rockford
west, through Arnegard to New
Ion, Mont. In fact much of
this line has Leen completed
from the western end. That line
connecting with the Surrey
cutoff at New Rockford would
give the Great Northern a CON-
plete secondary main Zine from
Fargo through the state.
The Northern PAclfac also mas
two sholt links to complete,
from Mott, N. d. to Terry
Mont, and from Edgeley to
Cannonball, N. d., and it also
would have secondary main
line travelling the entire state.
Fargo is directly connected
with both these secondary lines.
The Minot Surrey line forms
the connection with the new
Great Northern secondary trunk,
and the Southwestern branch of
the Northern Pacific hooks up
at LaMoure with the second
trunk line of that road.

INTERESTING PARENTS
IN SCHOOL PROGRESS

New York Times: At least
part of the Philadelphians hav
come to realize that the effi-
cheney Of their public school sys-
TEN depends in mo small meas
ure on the amount Of personal
interest taken in it by the pa
rents of the children who attend.
the schools. These wise per-
sons have formed a "Hpme and
School League, through which
to manifest this highly commend
able feeling, and they are ap:
peaing for the cooperation Of
all who consider it Of Importance
THAT the best possible efforts
from public instruction should
be obtained.
The members Of the league
held their annual conference last
week I'm the William Penn High
School for girls, and they listen
ed to- several carefully prepared
addresses dealing especially
with the needs Of feminine pu-
pills. One Of those addresses was
by DR.. Ann Tompkins Gibbons,
the newly appointed medical
adviser to the public schools, an
her plea, was that parents should
do what they could. to aid the
teachers in guarding the health
of their daughters as a priceless
possession.
/, Another address that was
heard with notable attention
was by Jacob Gimbel, whose
topic was the relation of the pub
lie school to business. MIR. Gim-
bel emphasized the desirability
that parents should have clear
under: landings as to the object
of the education received by
their daughters, and that the
teachers should endeavor to
discover the particular bent of
Zach girl and do what she could
to fit her work to her capacity
and imclination. ''IIome. he
said, islands as a link between
school and business, and in their
attitude toward both institu-
tions parents should discourage
paltry criticism Of superiors,
which ultimately degenerates
into destructiNely critical aEti-
tude toward work that precludes
the possibility of satisfactory
service and progress.

WHO WILL PAY
ANNA's TAXES?

Anna township, near Ryder,
has engaged Attorney Sinkler
to represent it in an unusual
proceeding. Clerk Ekholm says
that, when the assessor made
the rounds last spring, he report
ed only three residents who had
household goods valued at above
the $50 exemption. The county
board raised the assessment on
household goods in Anna town
ship something like 757 per cent,
placing the entire amount against
the property Of these three men.
The township board will make
"a test case Of it.-Harvey Jour

Turtle Lake Wave.

The Mclean county political
..ot is not yet simmering to
any noticeable degree. The fact
is that as far as a change in OUT
county officers is concerned it
looks as if there was no objec-
ton to any of the present inr
icumbents. The old gang that
cost our county SO much and
made life, one continual misery
for their neighbor citizens in
Wanhbnrn has been scattered to
the four winds and everything
at present seems to be serene
and peaceful in that turbulent
city. The voters in this county
were pretty particular at the
last election and culled close,
even a lot of mighty good men
were rejected that were all
right too. II looks as # our
