Applications from a number oi
teachers for the coming term were
received but none have been engag.
ed yet.
It. was decided at the meeting tc
advertise for fuel for the schools in
the district, also for depositaries fol
the funds Of the district. The length
Of the coming school, term was not
decided, but in view Of the scarcity
of fuel, high wages demanded BY
teachers and financial condition o.
the district, it is likely that only
seven months school willbe held.
The schools in the district where
no legal attendance is maintained
should also be closed to cut down
Expenses.

Vote On County Seat
Removal Fall Election
County commissionsrs Pass Rssolut;on
Ssbn,ittins County Seat Removal
Question to the Voters

The board of county commiss-
toner's for Sioux county concluded
five day session yesterday. The
board convened last Friday, and
the first work taken up was the
official canvas Of the vote cast at
the primary election.
The official count revealed no
changes affecting the unofficial re-
turns previously published in the
Pioneer. The list Of nominees in
the county together with their total
votes was given last week.
At the session Friday F. M. Red.
man Of Selfridge presented through
Attorney s. L. Nuchols Of Mandan,
a petition for removal of the county
seat frop Fort Yates. to selfridge.
The proposition Of removal to be
submitted to the voters at the
general election in November.
The commissioners canvassed the
signers to the petition Monday and
found a sufficient number of legal
voters had signed the petition. The
form Of the petition was also ap-
proved. Under the law Sioux county
was created Fort Yates is the per-
manent county seat and a two
thirds majority vote is required to
remove the county seat from its
present to new location.
The commissioners also met as
the county board Of equalization and
made a.few changes in the assess
ments as returned BY the assessors.
The parties whose assessments .we.s
raised will be notified and can
appear before the board on July 1S,
to which date an adjournment was
taken.
A number Of road petitions were
also considered and claims allowed.
Before adjourning the annual tax
levy was made. The levy is about
$4,000 higher than last year, but
taxes will undoubtedly be lower for
the reason that there has been a
large increase in the valha ton of
both real estate and personal prop
erty.
IA applications for abatement and
refund Of taxes on land where as.
sessment had been made before
final payment to the government
had been completed and patent
issued, were granted. A number of
other applications are pending which
will be considered as soon as the
refund, if any, has been computed.
The board adjourned to July 18th.

From Bismarck Tribune:

From Bismarck Tribune:
In view Of the urgent demand
which is anticipated for hay in
North Dakota this fall, and because
the most convenient shipping point
on Standing Rock reservation, which
is one Of the states best sources Of
hay, now has no rail facilities, the
North Dakota Council of Defense is
contemplating, as a war measure,
the laying of the thirty miles of rails
required to connect Cannonball with
Fort Yates.
The grade is already constructed.
Only two new culverts are required.
Secretary Thomas Allen Box has
investigated and discovered that
second hand rails suitable for this
purpose are available, and if
Director General McAdoo should
decide that his administration can
not handle this necessary construc-
ion, the council Of defense will be
be asked to issue bonds and build
the road. Prompt action is necessary
if the Cannonball- Fort Yates line is
to be completed in time to handle
this seasons crop.
Last year, while North Dakotan's
not more than 200 miles from the
reservation, we're forced tv send
into Minnesota and pay fancy prices
for hay, the Standing Rock crop,
which was loaded on cars around
s6 and 81 the ton, was shipped ou

cotton GIVEN PREFERENTIAL
TREATMENT.

4 proposal to tax cotton was prompt
ly rejected by the ways and mean
committee of congress THURSDAY after
southern members had countered with
suggestions that similar taxes be- laid
on grains. coal and other products Of
the north. A conviction is growing
that cotton has enjoyed preferential
treatment, but direct taxation is not
the right corrective. Price control by
the government is what is needed-the
same treatment that has been given
wheat. coal, metals and other northern
products.
But cotton prices having been al
lowed to run wild, it would be an out
rage for the government TO step in at
this late day and set prices approx
mating the present uncurbed market.
Cotton growers are receiving now
prices four times as great as they
were receiving before the war, while
wheat growers are held down to an
increase of 100 per cent over pre-
war prices If the same rule were
applied to cotton the price would be
about IA cents instead of the 2S to
go cents the growers have been get
ting the last year.-Spokesman-Review

4 CRIME TO SLANDER THE RED
CROSS.

A jury verdict of guilty is a sharp
reminder TO Louis P. Nagler, former
assistant secretary Of state Of Wis
consin. that the law and public SEN
timent will not tolerate seditious ut
terances. Nagler spoke of the Red
Cross and Y. NJ. c. A. organizations
as a bunch of grafters' when
friends asked him to contribute 70
war funds.
There exists no law to compel
citizen to subscribe to any war fund.
UnpatriOtic individuals can refuse TO
buy Liberty bonds and war stamps,
on to contribute to the Red Cross and
other war alleviating agencies; but
there is a law against the seditious
slandering of the loyal men and
women who devote their time, thought
and labor to essential war work.
A few men and women of disloyal
spirit and unbridled tongue have yet
to learn that reckless and foolish ex-
pressions that are overlooked in
peace times take on a graver aspect
when the nation is engaged in a
deadly war. A few convictions like
that by the Wisconsin jury will have
salutary influence on such persons

quantities approximating 500 in value
may be sent to the United States as

Of government assay offices in Phil

The senders will receive in return a
check on the United States treasury
for the value of the material less the
charges for fitting it for coinage.
These charges are nominal. No in
stitution under the government in
Washington receives this material. as
none has facilities for depositing or
Treating il. To societies raising funds
for war relief the suggestion is made
that individual collections of old gold
and silver be gathered together in
some central depository and when the
necessary amount has been obtained
that it be sent to the assay office in
