Had any justification been required
for the large storm sewer system
which was begun last spring under
the direction of the city commission
| it has been found in the ease with
which flood water was taken care OF
during the last two weeks. Wnen
the annual breakup came more snow
was on the ground this spring than
in any other recent year. Ordinarily
this would have meant impossible
streets, great, unsightly ponds OF
water, flooded Easements, damaged
lawns and general dilapidation ex-
tending over period of two or three
weeks. With the big storm sewers
capable Of taking care OF the water
as rapidly as it accumulated, none
of these annoyances was experienced,
and in the shortest time on record
the spring breakup was over and
the streets in fair condition again.

provision has been made to care for
Bismarck's needs for at least gen.
GRAFTON to come. The city had need
ed these storm sewers for years. but
it had seemed impossible to provide
them until the present commission
inspired the people with confidence
in it's ability to safeguard the inter-
est of the taxpayer in connection
with large enterprises Of this nature.
Bids for the storm sewer work were
very. favorable. The lowest bid re-
ceived was $4,000, whereas the city
engineer had estimated the cost of
the work at $4,000. The large con-
crete tile. which form the big drain
age system were manufactured here
on the ground, giving the city the
benefit of an expenditure in, labor
and materials of $4,000 which other
wise would have gone elsewhere.
A logical step in the development
of the city's fire protection is an cleo

, snake and such, for investigation pur-
poses. the scientists have selected the
woodchuck to investigate, as safer.
He has a tail so short that he can't
squirm around and bite you when you
take hold of it. They don't say that
this is the reason that they've partic-
ularly pitched into the woodchuck,
but what they've done to him is
enough.
When the chuck retires to hiber
nate, he stops breathing, but his
heart beats on, slowly. Hold him un
der water and he will not drown. Re
move his brain and his entire spinal
cord, and his heart will 60 on beating
for II hours. Cut off his head, and
his heart goes right on for three
hours.
What have they discovered about
the great mystery Of Information?
Nothing, save that it is life under
suppression Of the great nerve gang

good chuck after another, and still
can't tell how fellow can 60 on liv-

can see what a Godscnd such a dis

we'd be pretty near ready to abolish

CESS PAT, "-. u.

A superior company, unusually good
music and several voices far above
the level of the everyday comic opera
cast are the outstanding features Of
princess Pat" Names we'll known
in the field of the light opera appear
on the roster of characters. A capac-
! ity house should have greeted the
production, but when the Lenten
season is taken into consideration, the
reception given Victor lHerbert's pop
ular success indicated genuine appre-
citation Of the high standards Of the
production. @ys srz4v.:. ,...las
The principals and the orchestra
capture the laurels, but they are ably
assisted by a chorus probably famed
more for the quality of their, voices
than stage presence. In fact, tho
chief appeal is the music. which meas.
ures up to the best of the Herbert pro-
auctions. ''~ '"'
Blanche Duffield, as princess Pat"
has, a beautiful voice, excellent stage
presence and is a graceful dancer, un-
usual attributes for one with her fvo-
cal attainments. A good voice usual

An appreciation of "Princess Pat"

the dance advertisement in the

A BOOST FOR SIOUX COUNTY,.

Fort Yates, ~. d., March ~, 1911.
TO the Editor of the Tribune:
Dear SirA1'his is to be year wher
all the land in the United States
should be cultivated and as large al
amount of food products produced as
possible to raise and, as Uncle San
has control of the Indian reservations
let us see how much they will put in
to crop
There is surely a great incentive
to cultivate these lands, as it is a Ger
tainty that no industry will ever be
as beneficial to the Indian as that Of
skilled farming, and it is therefore
necessary that an up to date farmer
or overseer''be given charge Of this
work.
In riding over the reservation II
certainly Becomes apparent that there
has been great neglect on the part Of
the farmers in different districts. Ii
some instances the same farmer is
still in office who has been there the
greater part Of the time for the last
80 years, and in going over his part
of the reservation person would nat
urally expect some improvements, but
on the contrary, raw prairie and blue
sky is everywhere to be seen, anC
with the exception Of four or five In
dians, who through their own efforts
and what they have learned by work
ing among the white people. they have
shown marked degree of thrift, ant

stationed at street-corners Where
they will be easily accessible. This
the city commission now has under
consideration. It can be installed at
a small expense, which, with the cap
able financing the city now is enjoy
ing, may be provided for out OF the
current funds, without bonding or
otherwise increasing the tax burden.
With such an alarm system, and
light combination hook and ladder
truck and chemical, provision for
which already has been made in this
years budget, with the general ex-
tension of paving, making the streets
passable at all times of the year, and
increased water pressure, Bismarck
will have fire protection unexcelled In
any city thrice it's size.
Road to River.
A road to the river long has been
one of the crying needs of the city.
Particularly has this become true OF
recent years with the rapid expan-
sion of the automobile. The old road
has never been dedicated to the pub
lie, it is narrow, inconvenient and
positively dangerous. Numerous COL
lisions occurred on its twists and
turns and steep grades last season.
The city commission, taking cog
nizance of the situation, early in the
present year placed under way a
movement which will result in
splendid. straight public road direct
to the river, where it will make juno
ton with the beautiful river drive
extending north to the Ward farm.
At the point where the road touches
the river, a permanent concrete dock
and ferry landing is to be built. The
city attorney and city engineer now
are engaged in the completion of nee
essary preliminaries, and the road
will be open for travel by early Sum-
mer at cost of about $1,000.

LEGISLATIVE PANACEAS.

1t has become popular in these
times to rush to our legislative bodies
for all forms of panaceas. In nine
cases out of ten laws secured under
an impression that they will hasten
an economic millennium, have retarded
progress.
Probably the most recent example
of this kind Of legislation is the Ad
amson eight.hour law. recently sus
tanned by the United States supreme
court.
Neither capital nor labor is salts
fled with the construction of the law
by the courts. The American Fedora
ton of Labor is openly hostile to the
courts ruling.
Samuel Gompers in the April mum
Der Of the American Federationist dis
cusses the recent opinion of Chief
Justice White. This labor leader de
clares that the court in its ruling has
interpolated "a principle destructive
of the fundamentals of freedom"
There would have been an immedi
ate pecuniary gain to the trainmer
under the terms of the act had no!
the railroads granted the demands
voluntarily, but labor has discovered
that the law itself wipes out certain
time-honored privileges.
If the eight-hour decision has tied
labor's hands. as Gompers and his as
sociates assert, in a protest to the at
torney general, the representatives OF
labor have only themselves TO blame
They put too much confidence in leg
islative panaceas.
There is usually "kick.back."
The North Dakota farmers might
study the situation carefully before
putting their necks beneath social.
istic propaganda.
Trying to legislate class prosperity
is as dangerous as attempting to fix
arbitrary wage scales and hours OF
labor by law.
