JONES WAS ORATOR At
MILLARr0N CELEBRATION

Millarton, N. D., July 21.-The fine
new township and village hall was
dedicated with appropriate exercises
here Tuesday and the event celebrat-
ed in proper manner. Attorney Geo.
P. Jones, of Valley City delivered the
address of the afternoon and it was
fine one, too. There were two ball
games, horse races, plenty of band
music and a fine gala day, many
people coming from long distances to
assist in the celebration. The ladies
served meals and refreshments in the
first floor and the exercises were held
in the hall upon the second floor.
Mr.. Jones spoke Of the industrial
triumphs and progress made by those
who came here and endured the hard
ships of pioneer lhe and built insti.
buttons of this kind. This is a COM
munity center here and a meeting
place for the people, built by public
funds for public purposes of all kinds.
He hoped the time would come, and
come soon, when it would be con.
sidered a greater achievement to
build a village than to destroy one.
VIM. Sage presided over the exer'
cises and introduced the speakers.
Walter Reimers of this city also gave
short and appropriate talk.
Millarton's crack baseball nine
played Medbury. an II inning game
to score of three to two. Then there
were some horse races and other
stunts after which Millarton took on
Edgeley for a game of ball. ~. .
The local band furnished splendid
music for the celebration. Among the
old players in the band were George
Holgate and Banker Davis, who have
appeared in the Jamestown band, and
Postmaster Witness. The band con.
sisted of Is pieces and dispensed ex'
cellent music.

ST PAUL FIRM TO

The Borreson Manufacturing com
pany of st. Paul was awarded the
contract yesterday for furnishing the
state with the 1916 auto licenses.
Five bids were put in for the work
but the st. Paul firms was by far the
lowest. They have secured the con-
tract for the past several years. Au'
tomobile licenses will be furnished for
1917 cents and motorcycles for ~
cents. The contract was let last year
on the same basis.
North Dakota automobile owners,
will carry black license tag next
season with bright yellow numerals
and letters. The numerals and let.
tiers will be depressed, as it is found
that kind of tag shows up much bet

NANDAN CENSUS
IS NOT ACCURATE

Mandan, July 21.-That there has
been laxity in the census enumera-
ton in Morton county in general and
in the city of Mandan especially is
the assertion of one member of the
board of county commissioners.
The city census figures as returned
show a total of 4,01O in Mandan, and
the county totals 1886. In 1910 the
city population was 1878 and the
county, exclusive of the reservation,
$4,000.
Since 1910, when the last census
was taken, practically all of the towns
along the branch lines have been
started. Hundreds of new farmers
have been added to the county popu-
lation, but still the returns do not
show the change. 1t is estimated and
asserted by Morton county officials
that the population should be 100000.
President H. L. Henke, of the city
commission, has asked for and been
granted an extension of time by Sec
rotary of State Tom Hall to get the
city books in.
In checking over the city lists a
comparison was made with the city
directory, as compiled last fall by the
George P. Keiter company and printed
by the Pioneer Publishing company.
In the A B C classifcations alone it
was found that nearly 100 names had
been omitted. From present indica-
tions it would appear as though the
Mandan population is actually short
by 900 or more names.
Of the towns in the county Hebron
shows the greatest gain, from sos in
1910 to 1,O05 in 1915; Glen Ullin drop.
ped in the five yea1- from 921 to SS7.
while New Salem gained from 621 to
652. Flasher returns show a popula-
ton Of 302, Lark $50, New Leipzig 2S0,
Judson 286, and Sims 162.

REGENTS STRIVE
FOR RETIREMENT

According to a statement which the
Times-Record has received from the
secretary there will be two distinct
lines of activity in the work of the
state board of regents, which now has
charge of the educational institutions.
One of these will be along material
and business lines, the other along ed
ucational. The latter will be under
the direction of commissioner of ed
ucation. He will be selected from
some of the numerous men with whom
members of the board are now in cor
respondence, several of whom were
suggested by U. S. Commissioner of
Education Claxton. This commission
er will first make a survey of the in
situations, then later will outline
courses of study for each, eliminating
the Implications as far as possible and
selecting men thought to be best fit
ted for the positions of heads of the
various institutions and for positions
on the faculty. His work will be de-
voted entirely to educational lines.
The selection of the commissioner has
not yet been made, as there is no i'm
mediate occasion for hurry because the
officials of each institution have al
ready been selected for the coming
scholastic year and what changes may
be made on the recommendation of
the commissioner will probably not be-
come effective before the scholastic
year beginning in the fall of 1916
The secretary, Chas. Brewer, will
have the other line of work under the
direction of the regents. This will
embody uniform system Of reports
and accounts, the letting of contracts
for fuel, food stuffs for the dormitor.

construction of new buildings, repairs,
care of the grounds and work of that

character, largely along the business
methods of the institutions. While
the secretary will keep the general &C
counts and the board will check the
bills of each institution, the detailed
books of the different schools will be
kept by accountants who will make
monthly reports and trial balances.
Speaking generally of the objects
of the state board of regents, Lewis F.
Crawford, of Sentinel Butte, president
of the board, stated: "The work of the
board will be sympathetically con-
structive, not destructive in any sense
of the word. We do not intend to tear
down any good work that has been
built up by former boards and by the
educators of the state. Our highest
ambition is to advance the education
al interests of North Dakota in every
possible manner. To that end we will
make as thorough investigations as
possible and take care not to injure
any worthy feature by hasty proceed
ure. We feel that we have the SYM
pathy of the educators and their CO.
operation as well as the support of pop
ular sentiment. Naturally, the mem
bers of the board wish to create the
best possible educational system with
in the financial resources of the state
and we will pursue the most economi-
cal methods we can, consistent with
efficient service"
The announcement by President
rawford is typically indicative of the
sentiment of other members of the
board. A.

believed little trouble will be expert

The capital removal proposition cam
paign will be launched along strictly

some move looking toward the cree
ton of a new capitol building is gen
orally conceded. 1t is considered
timely that an expression from the vot.
ers of the state be obtained.

CROPS GREAT IN
BARNES COUNTY

Attorney A. P. Paulson who has been
over the county in northern and
western direction states that the crop
is exceptionally uniform, that the
grain is tall and the heads are good.
His opinion is that it looks like crop
that most everybody will be we'll salts
fed with.
Chas. J. Lee is another who has been
out in the country several times re-
Gently. He has covered the southern
part of the county pretty well and con-
siders the prospects all right for a
good crop if the fine weather will
continue to develop it. There is some
rust in most of the fields, but Mr.
Lee has not observed enough to do
any material damage so far.
Ing. J. Moe reports that he has been
east, southwest, north and northeast.
That the Marquis, bluestem, macor-
oni, and in fact all grain looks excep-
tionally fine. While the straw is un.
usually long the heads are good, and
barring bad weather there is every
appearance Of bounr1ful crop.
The above named gentlemen are
good judges of crops and crop condi-
lions, and reflect the sentiment of all
others in the county that we have
heard express an opinion. In fact
there seems to be optimism in plenty
regarding the plentiful crop prospects
throughout Barnes county. With this
crop harvested as expected we look
for one of the best seasons of business
that has been enjoyed for several
years.
