Little Elwood Kelly, clad as a real
Highlander should be, and Flora Nero
held up the Stars and Stripes during
the singing Of the Star Spangled Ban

violin and piano selections of the
Misses Wood and Nero were well re-

SCHOOL ELECTION :
:. MONDAY; APRIL 4
DO YOU WANT THE SCHOOLS OF
THE CITY OF BOTTINEAU
CLOSED?
Monday, April 4th. 1921.

Monday, April 4th, 1921,
the hours of 9 A. M. and P. NJ, .ns<
been the time designated to decide
whether or not we shall raise the debt
limit in this district from per cent
to 10 per cent of the valuation.
You undoubtedly know that at the
present time and for some time past,
the Bottineau Special School District
has been obliged to pay a s per cent
premium to get money to pay school
warrants, in addition to this the school
warrants bear Z per cent interest,
making the cost of money used in run
ming our schools IL per cent, provided
the warrants were paid within year.
If this debt limit is raised to TO per
cent, we will then be able to bond and
sell our bonds, so they will not cost US
over z per cent at the outside and a
short time ago we could have readily
sold them for 6 Il per cent interest.
This raising the debt limit is simply a
business proposition, to get our mon
ey at lower rate of interest and
will not possibly raise the taxes for
school purposes, in fact it should low
er them to some extent as we will be
getting our funds to run the schools
for. little less money. Bonds will be
issued for not less than 10 years and
more likely 20 years, so as to spread
the present Indebtedness against the
district over a long period Of time at
q reasonably low rate Of interest, in
fact but little over half what the
money to operate is costing us today.
Vote YES, by all means.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
TO MEET AT MINOT, N. d.

The County Superintendent received
the following notice from Supt. I. +.
Smiley, President of the Northwest
ern Division of the North Dakota
Teachers Association. This should be
of interest to all teachers.
This is to remind you of the meet
ing Of the Northwestern Division of
the North Dakota Teachers Associa-
ton in Minot, April Fl, %, %.
DR.. M. v. O'Shea Of the University
of Wisconsin is our headliner. He is
one Of the most popular educational
lecturers of the day. He will surely
appeal. Besides him, you will hear
from Dean Kennedy, Miss Nelson, DR..
Clarke, Mr.. R. L. Brown, Field Secre-
tary Of the Nd. T. A. and others.
On the various sectional programs
will be many of our most prominent
local educators and progressive board
members On the whole very inviting
series of programs have been ar
ranged.
In musical way, we are pleased to
announce various musical organiza-
tions of the Minot City schools under
the direction Of Professor Howard.
He is doing Big things in Big way.
Mrs. Simpson of the Normal will have
charge of the music one day. She and
her organizations have always
pleased. Friday evening, Reverend
Gullixson will appear with his wonder
/ fuf choir. Those who heard him three
years ago will be delighted to know
they have consented, to contribute one
evenings musical program this year
also. Reverend Gullixson writes his
choir is better than ever.
One Of the things we are striving
for this year is to get as many board
members as possible to attend. If we
are to accomplish things educationally
we must have che boards with us.
Will you not therefore apply. every
effort to have each Of your boards
send delegate and pay his expenses !?
This is very important. Remember our
programs have been planned with the
board members in mind.
It seems we shall be successful in
getting railroad rates: ONE AND
ONE-HALF fares. To get this, we
must have at least $50 fares costing
not less than 75c one way. Be sure
to ASK FOR 8 AZ CERTIFICATE
WHEN BUYING A TICKET TO MI

CAPTAIN TH0RbURN
PASSES AWAY

On Easter Sunday, March 9th, at
his home in thet Turtle Mountains, oc-
Cured the death of another Of our
pioneers, Captain John Thorburn. He
had been gradually failing for the
last year or two but a stroke of par
alysis about two weeks ago hastened
the end and his death was not unex-
pected.
Captain Thorburn was born in Ker-
ry, Croy Village, Isle of Butte, Scot
land, January 23rd, 1840, being at the
time Of death in his S2nd year. At the
age Of ten years he came with his
father to Goderich, Ontario, Canada,
where in 1868 he was married to Miss
Agnes Fraser of Amberly, Ontario,
who survives him. In 1883 the family
moved to Detroit, Michigan, where
they lived until 1898 when they moved
to Bottineau, North Dakota, in which
vicinity he lived until his death. -*
Captain Thorburn sailed on the
Great Lakes and Lake Winnipeg for
forty years, having been Captain Of
freight and passenger boats for over
thirty-five years, and it was his boast
that not a single life was lost from
any boat of which he was in charge
during all these years. !.
Deceased'was a member of Kincard-
inc (Ontario) Lodge, I. o. o. F. for
45 years, a member of the Canadian
A. O. U. w. for 38 years, and a men,
ber Of the International Shipmasters'
Association, Of Detroit, for 80 years.
He was the father of eleven child
rem, five boys and six girls of whom,
with 20 grandchildren, and his wife,
survive him, as follows: his wife, Mrs.
Agnes Thorburn, sons, James A.,
William D. and Stanley Of Bottineau,
Alexander, of Turin, Alberta, and
Grant of Winnet, Mont. The surviving
daughters are Mrs. w. A. Meddaugh
Of Westhope, N. D., Mrs. c. c. Mel
son of Los Angeles, Calf, Mrs. J. J.
Nelson of Grants Pass, Ore, Mrs. E..
M. Nelson and Mrs. E. D Bower Of
Bottineau. He is also survived by
two sisters, Mrs. Andrew Stacey and
Mrs. Sofia Brewer of Saginaw, Mich.
His life until later years was one
of hardship and exposure, and the ma
ture of his calling brought him in
contact with all classes and conditions
Of men, but he never lost his high
conception of honor and fair dealing
and ever maintained his belief in the
Brotherhood OF Man and the Father
hood of God.
Interment was made in Oak Creek
Cemetery; at Bottineau, Wednesday,
under the Auspices of the local Lodge,
I. o. o. F.
The Courant joins with the COM
munity in extending sympathy to the
surviving relatives.
