A Suggestion

There are two places as justice Of
the peace in Sioux county to he
filled by the county commissioners
by appointment. As it is hard to
get men familiar with the law for
this office, the Pioneer would sue-
gest to the county board that they
appoint County Judge Beede, Jus.
tice of the peace, if the office would
not interfere with his present posi-.
ton. Judge Beede knows law, and
could dispense justice in many cases.
without the presence of a states,
attorney. He would also be in a
position to stop much petty htisa-
ton by giving parties who want to.
bring actions some good advise that
would result ia the settlement of.
their difference outside of court and,
thus save the county much needless
expense,

Packet 'Gros Veatre'
On $500 Mile Journey
Gasoline Boat 'Gros Ventre' Here With
Cargo of Goals Making $500 Mile
Trip to New Home


The first boat load of government
coal arrived here Monday of this
week from Bismarck. The gasoline
packet Gros Ventre brought down
ITO tons. She is in command of
Capt. Joe Leach, the. best all
around steamboatman and pilot on
the Missouri river. The boat was
bought recently from the Benton
Packet Company, by Capt. Shep-
perd Greene in behalf Of the city Of
Clarksville, Tenn. and she left here
Wednesday morning for that point.
She will 20 down the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers to St. Louis, then
up the latter stream to the Ohio,
and up that to the Cumberland riv-
er on which Clarksville is located.
Here she will be put in the tobacco,
merchandise and farm produce
trade running on the Cumberland
which Capt. Greene tells us is the
original Swanee river.
The Gros Ventre is the finest lit
tie gasoline boat that ever thrust
her nose athwart the swift and MUIR
Ky waters of the Mighty Mizzo, and
if she does as we'll in sunny Ten
nessee as she has done up here she
will pay her owners many times
the price they paid for her. This
boat was bought by the Benton
Packet Company in 1909, and the
late and famous Captain Grant
Marsh brought her up the river
from Chamberlain, S. D. She is
the second boat in 80 years to make
the continuous trip from Bismarck
to st. Louis, a distance Of 1900
miles, the other boat being the
steamer Washburn taken down this
summer by Capt. Leach. The Gros
Ventre will have travelled some
250O miles by the time she reaches
her new home.
Capt. Greene is well known
steamboat builder and operator on
the lower rivers, and he says that
the. Missouri is the most uncertain
stream he ever sailed on, and he
marvels at the way the winds blow
here. But he is enjoying his trip,
and while here he secured several of
the "cannonballs'' or round rocks
which he will take to Clarksyille
and place them in one of the city
parks: He says he will give those
rocks great reputation, and have
one marked as the ''cannonball''
that fell on and killed Sitting Bull.
Finley, son of Capt. l. P. Baker Of
Bismarck, is making the trip for
pleasure as the guest of Capt.
Greene.
Captain Greene was entertained
at the Ike home Tuesday evening
or rather the company of young
folks gathered there to meet him
were entertained by him. He fav-
ored them with many an anecdote
and dialect story Of the south,
which he varied with SO lgs and
selections on the guitar. Other
numbers by our local talent served
to round out most enjoyable ev-
ening, and the brave captain was
given send off by the girls such as
will give him something to boast of
when he returns again to that sun.

Second Liberty Loan
Bond Drive Now y, On
P. J. Jacobson Named County Chairman
For Second Campaien-Sioux County
Asked to. Take $4,000

P. j. jacobson, cashier of the
First State Bank of Fort Yates, has
been named county chairman for
Sioux county for the second Lib
erty Loan Bond campaign which
began this week and which will close
October 9th. Sioux county is
called upon to take $4,000 worth
OF the bonds. 1t is up to Mr..
jacobson to see that this amount is
placed, and it is expected that he
will call upon the banks at Sell
fridge and Solen to cooperate with
him.
During the campaign for the first
Liberty Loan Bonds, Sioux county
was called upon to take s5,OOO.OO
worth. The total subscriptions
only reached $4,000, all of which
except s1OO was raised in Fort
Yates. This was a rather poor
showing, but it is hoped that bet
ter result will be had this fall.
These bonds are issued in denom-
nations from $50 up, and bear in
terest at the rate of 4 per cent.
Everybody who is able should buy
bond. Besides being patriotic
deed it is safe, sound business in
vestment. The least those who are
privileged to remain at home
through the war can do, is to send
their money, especially as you get
government bond in return and in
terest besides. You can buy lib
erty bond on easy payments as fol-

Plan to Wipe Out
 Misconceptions Of
 Scientist Teachings

A free lecture on Christian Science will be given at the Lyric theatre in this city, Sunday afternoon, May 6, at o'clock. The lecture is given un- der the auspices of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Bridgeport.
 Similar lectures have been given frequently in our local theatres and are always well attended. The pur- pose of these lectures is to present directly to the public clear expla- nation of what Christian Science is. and also what it does for the uplifting of the human race.
 Nearly all tn ecriticism and antag- onism which Christian Science has met since it's discovery by Mary Baker Eddy, in 1866, has come from a misapprehension of it's claims and it's methods. These lectures, such as the one to be given here Sunday af- ternoon, serve to explain away such misunderstanding of the subject.
 The lecture will be delivered by George Shaw Cook, c. S. B., member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston.

JEWISH ELECTION
 COMING IN JUNE

Jewish men and women in every city and town in the United States, will, on a certain day in June, turn out to the "polls'' to vote for delegates to represent their communities at the American Jewish congress to be held in Washington some time in Septem- Der. The purpose of the national congress is to arrange to have the Jewish people represented at the peace conference at the end of the war with view to securing equal rights for the race all over the world
 Delegates will be elected by popu- lar vote. All Jewish men and women 21 years of age and over are eligible to cast a ballot for the delegate they prefer. The arrangements for nation wide voting for delegates are in the hands of the central committee in New York and only incomplete details have been received in this city. En- tire plans will probably be perfected present week when the rules govern ing the voting will be communicated to all towns and cities in the coun- try.
 Communities will be represented by delegates according to their Jew ish population. Hartford will be rep resented by one delegate. New Haven and Bridgeport are said to have been allotted two each. Smaller towns, hav- ing only a few Jewish residents will be combined and represented by a sim gle delegate. These details, how ever, have been advanced only ten tatively and are subjected to change.
