BOTTINEAU TRACK BUYERS.
The People Rejoice Over Compctltkm In the
idniu Business. ..
Bottineau News: Tlfe business mcii
of Bottineau have long hoped that
some man with experience and staying
qualities.would take hold of th& busi
ness of buying grain on the stree't here.
The News has talked it and urged some
action b# the business men to hold out
some inducement but results seemed
slow cftmi^gf. However, the efforts of
ilie town have at last brought fruit we
lielicvc-^-track buyers who know .their
business and who not having gone in
to it blindly nor without counting the
cost will be likely to stick unless forced
oilt by the elevator combine. As was
announced in last week's NeWs. Jno.
McKcnzie, one of the oldest and best
known elevator men in the -county, has
gone to buying on the track ,here and
has taken R. A. Schofield int©: partner
ship with him. They at "one,e.'brought
results for the farmers. They of course
raised the price of grain and the ele
vators, in order to drive thnii out of
the business made another raise so that
there is nothing in it for these gentle
men as long as the price maintain
ed at'the figure to which tfi8*'elcvators
raised it. The action of the elevators
was uniform and simultaneous, show
ing, as The News has contended all
the while, that there is a trtjigt or com
bination among the clcvsjitbys. 'Iliis1
combination his kept dowii the price
of grain, otherwise why should it be
uniformly lower than at cither neigh
boring towns where therefore. track
buyers? Also flicy seem to hSayc com­

WOULD CHANGE THE UW.
The Stale Certification Plan Has Reduced the
Number of Teachers..
News: It will be'rslictn-
hored about three years ago that the
state legislature passed a law known
as thB state certification^ of teadiers'
certificates which .at yiattimc had for
its ultimate end the securing of a bet
ter grade of teachers in the state by
having the state examine the candidate
instead of the county superintendent.
It was thought that as ho two superin
tendents would mark the papers alike
and were otteai tempted to show par
tiality, it would be better to have them
all examined by one body of examin
ers. This was doh^ in order to prune
out the poorer teachers so that none
but the best would survive thus raising
the standard of the teacher and conse
quently his grade of work. Miss Carey
informs its that about three years ago
thet *u\yt*e m?,re teachers than there
were schools for. About two years ago
there seemed to be just enough,to nice
ly supply them all but this year there, is
a shrinkage in the number of teachers.
Of course much of this may be due to
the organization of new districts, but
the immigration has been in propor
tion and teachers have come in as fast
the last two years as formerlv so we
are inclined to think that the shortage
is owing to the rigid state, certification
law. The originators of this' law prob
ably had in view also the idea of' rais
ing the teachers by creating denfand
for teachers' wag^s.
But whether they had this generosity
in view or not it has sent teachers'
wages up at least $5 in nearly all
tricts in this county and in so
much as $10 in the last„two years
should conditions continue

bined to kill out the track buyers here
otherwise why should they, raise the
price at a point where the track buyer
is forced out of business here, and not
at the* other towns. The elevators
can afford to pay higher prices than*
they pay here and pay them right
along. They do it at Souris and Ome
mee every year. At these places they
have met the prices of track buyers for
several years. Tt is sincerely hoped tjte
farmers will do all in their pow^r,to
patronize McKenzie & Schofield and
support them. It is hoped too that the
business men will help in every way tb
protect them in the business. They are
buying grain on a very small ttiargin
and need the ene'riufagement of every
one. It is to the very best interests
of the town to have them. Tlie neigh
boring towns all have such buyers, with
the result that much of the grain that
ought to have come here, has gone
elsewhere for the higher prices. The
puj-pose of the elevators is to run them
out of business after which of course
they will reduce the prices to their old
figures. We understand the business
men some time ago offered Grain Buy
er Foster of Souris $75 per month to
come here to operate. He, we are told
has a track elevator and would not
have to go to the expense of hiring a
man and team as McKenzie & Scho
field do. This extra expense makes it
impossible for them long to continue
buying on so low a margin. If the
elevators force them out of business as
their purpose is let the business men
come tovtheir rescue. There is a big
lot of grain still to be marketed and by
keeping a track buyer here Bottineau
would succeed in getting her share of
it. Pay a man to operate here by the
month, and the elevators ould soon
come to terms.
ISTHMUS"
Tlie state of Pauania, which by revolution has been transformed into 1he ''Republic of the Isthmus," is having
-troubles of-its own, for it is so poorly equipped fi'om the defensive -standpoint that a very e-mail forqe of well
armed troops could easily walk from:one end of the country to the other. General Huergas is in command of
the few hundred troops who participated in the revolution. The Unitqd Stittes cruiser Nashville is at Colon and
the Bogota, the Colombian gunboat, Is at Panama City. The importance of tiiiS 1'ananui revolution to the United
States is to be found in the fact that if the state of Panama is independent she would hato the authority to per
mit the building of the interoceanic canal, which Colombia litis already refused to sanction, except on terms which
the United States doe« not fepl warranted in accepting.
tljey'mdy go still higher and maiy
so rapidly now that they are 011 the
rise, so the law though it may seem a
cruel thing to many a hard laboring
teacher and an additional school tax
for the district, yet it will ultimately
end in better schools and be an incen
tive to the now underpaid teachcr to
put forth greater endeavors and gain
greater-vantage point. ,*

Mv Cary safe passed through the big

'My safe stood in the hottest place

the safe was in the coals and debris for

SMALL TRACT.'
Hankiftson News: Some,* time iajjo
Miss
Bertha Klttge contested the claim
of Herman Bladow on a fourteen acre
piece of land south of town. Some ot
our. readers may remember that Bla-i
dow claimecl hcv was drive#* from his
claim shanty by the pranks of mis
chievous boys in the neighborhood.
Anyway he left it and Miss Kluge made
a contest. The U. S. register and re
ceiver at Fargo decided in her favor,
and on appeal to the commissioner
she gained the decision. Now Bladow
has appealed to the secretary of the
interior. It seems quite a little litiga
