all thinking-people who believ
in the social, political and ecc
nomic uplift of rural commun
tiles. The teachers will endeavo
to make this course a possibilit,
in the chief centers of the coun
ty, with the hope that sooner O
later it can be extended to man,
places of the county where thi.
is not now possible.
The efforts of Superintendent
Brieele; and the able assistance
accorded him by Mrs. Briggle
should be commended. Our su
perintendent has spared no pain.
to make this institute one of the
most successful ever held in the
county. In procuring such eff
ficient conductors the institute
could not fail to be a success.
We wish to thank State Supt
E. ]. Taylor for having given his
precious time to the teachers, and
brought home to them such val.
liable ideas of the present and
future educational problems of
the state.
We also thank Rev. Hammond
for his excellent and inspiring
talk.
We extend our thanks to DR..
Wolverton for his excellent ad.
dress.
Mr.. N. S. Sheffield, one of our
able teachers, gave a talk on
trees which will long be remem.
bered by all who believe in MAX
ing North Dakota more beautiful
and homelike.
A vote of thanks was also ex-
tended to the teachers who con-
Quoted the games on the play
ground and thus made these
games a part of the other teach
ers' gain. The morning exer-
cises conducted by Mr.. H. B.
Kiefer with the teachers before
the entire audience cannot re-
ceive enough praise and ought to
be practiced by the teachers in
all the schools of the county.
We heartily endorse the liberal
response of the teachers in bring
ing before the conductors worthy
topics to be discussed. The keen
interest taken in the round-table
questions showed that the teach
ers were alive to the needs of the
time. That everything brought
before the teachers was consid-
cred of benefit and great impor-

Successful Teachers Meeting

lecture on School Hygiene. This
was the best lecture on the sub.
ject we have ever heard. Care
of the ears, eyes, nose, throat
and teeth is generally given in
such a superficial way that the
attention is not held, but DR..
Wolverton had carefully outlined
his talk, he assumed that his au-
dience had made a. study of
physiology and hygiene, and by
using a blackboard, he made the
subject so interesting and fasci-
mating that when he invited a
round table talk, questions were
eagerly asked and earnestly
answered.
DR.. Wolverton condemned the
common drinking cup and roller
towel. He gave the teachers
some good advice concerning
their own care and protection
from contagious diseases. He
explained the common symptoms
of diphtheria and the rapid pro-
gress of the disease. When we
say, that after talking for an hour
anda half, and that just before
dinner, the teachers gathered
around him eager for more de-
tails you will understand why we
say that it was the best lecture
we ever heard on the subject.
Mr.. E. ]. Taylor, superinten-
dent of public instruction, was
with us Tuesday evening and
spoke before the association in
his usual kindly.and broad-mind-
ed way. Mr.. Taylor, having
been deputy state superintendent
for many years before he was
elected state superintendent, has
athorough knowledge of school
conditions throughout the state,
and gives new outlook by taxi
ing our thoughts from our own
local problems and showing us
what wonderful strides are being
made in the educational field Of
North Dakota. Any teacher, af-
ter listening to Mr.. Taylor, will
90 back to his or her work with
higher ideals and confidence in
the ultimate results.
Rev. S. L. Hammond, of Kin
tyre, followed Mr.. Taylor with an
interesting talk on Appreciation
Week. Rev. Hammond. being an
optimist himself, painted a glow
ing picture Of North Dakota and
predicted for us a glorious future.

tance was particularly shown ii
the interest the men took ir
things appearing trivial, for ex
ample, paper.cutting, sewing, etc
Another item to be laid stress
upon was a Surprise Singing
Quartette." 1t again exemplifed
the versatility of MIR. Hollis. He
was able to judge, without hest
tation, in picking from the one
hundred twenty-four teachers
present, four, that were to con-
stitute his quartette. He made
no error in this. The singers
were: Miss Jessie Anderson, So
prano; Miss Alice Stewart, con-
tralto; Mr.. H. B. Keifer, tenor;
Mr.. VIM. Jellema, baritone. The
extemporaneous rendition of
"Mammy's Little Boy" was edi-
flying and had to be repeated to
the encore that followed.
We desire to express our ap-
probation of Hon. Smith Stim-
mel for his lecture on Lincoln,
which lecture closed the insti-
tute. The people were interest
ed beyond measure. The magic
name of Lincoln was made more
real and personal, owing to the
close connection of the lecturer
with the president, Mr.. Stimmel
having been a member of the
presidents mounted body guard
and was one of the guards of the
house to which the martyr was
taken after the shot was fired.
The audience missed not a word
and will not soon forget this
eventful occasion. Should Mr..
Stimmel come again we shall
welcome him
We also wish to thank the peo-
pie of Linton for opening their
homes for the reception of the
teachers and making their stay
in the city a pleasant one.
1t was unanimously voted that
these resolutions be printed in
the different papers in the county.

clean lives that they might b
worthy examples to the youtl
placed in their charge.
The lecture by Mr.. Smith Stin
mel, although in no way connect
ed with the institute proper, wa
largely atteaded by the teacher
and was enjoyed by all. MI
Stimmel's talk gave us a new in
sight into the character of Lin

IDAHO AT
THE FAIR

SAN FRANCISCO2One of the most
notable events of social character
that has taken place at the exposi-
tion was the banquet in the California
building rendered to the representa-
tives of foreign nations by the various
states represented through the com
missioners here.
The banquet was an elaborate af-
fair and nearly all of the foreign rep
resentatives were present and made
brief addresses. Mayor Mitchell of
New York, and the mayor of Rome
Hon. N. Nathan, and number Of
other state celebrities were present.
Idaho's executive commissioner, Mr..
Cizizek, looked carefully to it that Ida
no was well represented on that oc-
casion. 1t was one in which all the
states contributed their share in order
that proper respect might be paid to
those of foreign nations who have done
% much to entertain the commission
ers and their friends in many ways.
The banner of Idaho was hung con-
spicuously in the building and Mayor
Rolf in his feicitions address men

a compliment for the magnificent dis
play she has made, and for the sup
port through its represent yves in

of its conception but all along even

CAREY ACT
TAXABLE

WASHINGTON Lands within
Carey act irrigation projects become
subject to taxation as soon as they
are patented to the state by the fed
eral government and settlers on such
projects who have received final GER
tiicates prior to the time of patent
are liable for taxes on their lands.
even though they in turn have not
received patent from the state This
is the decision of the supreme court
in the case of Glenn r. Boutwell,
against Bingham county, Ida, the
court sustaining the contention re-
Gently made in the argument of At
torney General Peterson, and also af
firming the decision Of the Idaho su
preme court.
Neither the Carey act nor the
agreement hereunder with the state
operate to exempt land from taxation
or to take it out of the settled rule
respecting the taxing of acquired
under the public land laws" holds the
court. According to that rule as this
court frequently has stated, when pro-
ceedings for acquisition Of title have
reached the point where nothing more
remains to be done by the entryman
and the government no longer has any
beneficial interest in the land and does
not exclude the entryman from use of
il, he is regarded as the beneficial
owner and the land is subject to tax
ltion, even though the act of passing
he legal title to him has not been
the principal underlying
rule being that one who has acquired
beneficial ownership of land and is
lot excluded from its payment cannot
e permitted to use the fact that max (
d title remains in the government to
void his just share of state taxa

LAND BOARD
HAS MEETING

task which has often been com
pared to job done by the late Her
cules when he cleaned out the Augeas
stables, is to be undertaken by the
state land board. At meeting to be
held some time next week it will
tackle the Big Lost river irrigation
project.
The board met Wednesday and de-
cided to wrestle with that problem. A
majority of the members are con-
vinced that the Mackay dam is a fail
ure, and they will make an effort to
put forth solution of the sick pro-
ject's difficulties which shall include
the erection of a new DAM
The governor said he believed there
was plenty of water available for the
project. but that a new dam must be
built if it is ever to be a success. At
torney General Peterson held that if
new dam is built it must be only un-
der specifications approved by the
state engineer.
AT it's special meeting on the ques-
ton the board will endeavor to form
ulate new contracts for the company
and the settlers which will safeguard
the rights of all and put the project
on a stable basis.
The Big Lost river project is one
that has worried several state admin
istrations. Land and water rights
were sold under it, and when several
of capital which attempted
10 build the irrigation system failed I
the settlers were left on the land with
out water and many of them lost their
all.
Various opinions have been ex-
press ed about the Mackay dam which
was built to mpcund water, but it
has generally been conceded to be a
failu and a menace.
The board passed on some Is appli-
cations for loans Of state funds. Most
Of them were granted. Three or four
we're held up and the amounts of some
reduced.
