VALUE OF BETTER HIGHWAYS
Man Looking for Location 10 Likely
to Judge Neiohborhood by Kind
Of Roads Il Maintains.

Are you doing anything for good
roads? Is your community doing any
thing? Is your county alive to the
value of rock roads, roads of a per.
manent type? If you are farmer
you ought to be able to realize the
value of better highways more keenly
than any other citizen.
It Is a fact that the chance visitor
and the man who is looking for a
location are likely to judge neighbor-
hood or region by the kind of high
ways it maintains. Stretches Of mud
holes blast community's reputation.
Bad roads kill church life and choke
education. Churches and schools are
dependent very markedly upon good
roads. Where the roads are stretches
Of mud in winter and dust and old
ruts in summer, neither schools nor
churches may flourish.
When you find farmer who OPP

ANAMoosE HIGH SCHOOL
ORCHESTRA Is PRAISED.

Anamoose.-The Anamoose high
school orchestra entertained the pa
irons of the school at a concert for
several hours at the assembly room
of the high school. Those attending
were not only well pleased with the
work of the orchestra, but all expires.
sed considerable surprise at the de.
gree of efficiency to which this phase
of high school work has been brought
1t is generally admitted that the
Anamoose high school has one of the
best high school, orchestras in the
state. This is largely due to the ef-
forts of Prof. C. o. Mehuse, head of
the music department of the high
school. The Professor is talking of
organizing high school band next
year, and it is not likely that this
will be done in view of the interest
that has been aroused among the stu.
dents in music

WATER COMPANY MUST PAY
Bismarck Supply Plant Loses Suit to
Avoid Payment Of Back Taxes
$4,000 involved.

Bismarck.-In an opinion handed
down by the supreme court it will be
necessary for the Bismarck Water
Supply Co. to pay in to the county
treasurer $5.091.63 in back taxes and
penalty and interest. The case arose
over an attempt of the board of county
commissioners Of Eurleigh county
to abate the taxes of the water COM
pany for $2,237.O9 in 1909 and 1895
in 1910. When payment was rendered
the county treasurer by the water
company it was refused and when the
company failed to come through with
the additional tax demanded by the
treasurer the sheriff was ordered to
seize sufficient property to make good
the tax. The water company then
sued for an injunction restraining the
sheriff from this action and the in.
junction was refused. The water CON-
pany then appealed to the supreme
court with the result noted above.

THE GROWTH OF.
WESTERN CANADA
Increase in Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea of the extent of railway
construction in Western Canada can
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage in the Province of AL
berta has been doubled in three years.
The present mileage is 4,097. In all
OF the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by Dominion Railway Commits
sion, and in the exercise of their pow.
ers they not only control the rates.
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form court to hear
complaints of any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the laatter of education no better
instance of the advancement that is
taking place can be given than that
found in TIE information to hand that
attendance at the University of AL
berta has increased 1000 per cent in
five years, and is now thoroughly rep
resentative of all settled portions of
the Province. The students in attend
ance are from sixty.one distinct dis
tricts.

Kills Midnight Intruder.

Btsmarck-Awakened by noises in
the basement of his home at Beach,
Theodore Sweitzer of Beach, went in
search of the night disturber only to
be greeted by fusilade of bullets
from the gun of Leroy Pate. Sweitzer
fired at the intruder twice. each bullet
taking effect and Pate fell to the floor
with the remark, You've got me, kid "
and died instantly.
Pate was enamored of Sweitzer's sis.
ter-in-law, and from letters found on
his person after his death he is thought
to have been temporarily insane. He
had written in a notebook that he i'm.
tended to kill the entire household of
Sweitzers.
A jury has exonerated Sweitzer on
the grounds of shelf-defense.
