?kr»wif I?' If*. f¥, 1 THE TEACHERS RESOLVE. Resolutious Adopted by Them nt the Close of the Institute. Complimentary of Prof. Ken nedy, Prof. WadNWortli and Others. A Member of the International Liars Association Gets a Judgeship. Teachers Bewilvc. Below are Mie resolutions that were unanimously adopted by tbe teachers at the close of the institute: Resolved. That we, the teachers of Stutsman county, extend vote of thanks to Prof. Kennedy, superintendent of schools of Traill county, for the very able manner in which ho presented the various branches coming within the cur riculum of the country district school, especially those of the science language and arithmetic, and also for his care not to wound our feelings in correcting our mistakes while endeavoring to answer his various questions, and in having us substitute good methods in teaching for erroneous ones, indicating that his inter est in our advancement is not measured by our needs but by hopes for our future success, which, if realized, will bo largely owing to his efforts during this week. Resolved, That we extend our thanks to Mrs. Ogden for her faithful, interest ing and instructive kindergarten work. We wish her to know bow much we have appreciated her efforts, how much we have learned and how much she has en thused us with her own spirit of thoughtful loving discharge of duty. We will go back to our work with abetter knowlege of its importance, and better fitted to take charge of the little ones and be to them th« "mothers" that she so much desired us to be. We thank her also for the instruction in the subjects of paper folding, stick laying, etc., and for having made the kindergarten hours the brightest of the institute course. Resolved. That we tender grateful expression of tbe pleasure that has been ours in having State Superintendent John Ogden with us for more than two days, showing thereby he recognized tbe importance of Stutsman county as a field of labor in the state,and also for tbe great pains he has taken to bring into prominence the teaching of patriotism to the pupils and making good citizens of them, as well as creating a desire for further advancement. Resolved, That we express our appre ciation of Mr. Camp's lecture, and thank him for the instruction. We will take a greater interest in the works of Haw thorne, whom we will regard with greater appreciation for having been brought to a closer acquaintance with him by Mr. Camp's lecture and having been told of his sterling qualities and excellencies. Resolved, That every teacher of Stuts man county applauds the wisdom of the officials of the state that were instrumen tal in placing Prof. Sifton at the bead of the Valley City normal school and we believe if the use of technical grammar is not wholly discarded in a short time in Stutsman county, it will be largely owing to bis masterly defense of the same. Resolved, That we extend a vote of thanks to Superintendent Devine of La Moure county, for his brilliant effort on 'American civilization" and believe every teacher and citizen who heard him will have a greater affection for the Mold flag" and will think more intelligently on tbe dangers menacing our coantry also we cannot remember too long his ideal of a young man on the background vivified by the word "unknown." Resolved,—That in the person of County Superintendent Wadsworth we have an official who has performed bis duties in connection with the institute in such a manner as to show executive ability second to none, by his selection, advice and arrangement of program also he has shown great concern for our material welfare by securing a commodi ous, well ventilated and well lighted room, and supplementing by timely re marks all efforts of instructors to secure uniform work in the county. Resolved.—That we extend a vote of thanks to Miss Edith Wanner, our secre tary and Miss Metta Sperry, organist, for their able and faithful performance of their duties. Resolved,—That we, the teachers as a whole, vote this the best institute we have ever attended in Jamestown, and feel by expressing ourselves in this man ner we do not detract from any institute held here in former times. Resolved.—That we extend to Tbe Alert of this city, our sincerest thanks for the concise and full report of pro ceedings published from day to day during this session of the institute. The speech of Judge Rose at the close of the teachers institute was a fit ending to tbe weeks work. His words gave all, whose pleasure it was to listen, a correct 'impression of the man, and showed him in his true light, as a lover of bis country in the very best sense. The highest aim of the educator, acoording to Judge Rose, should be the inouloation of such ideas as should make th9 best citizens for our land, not mere book learning, but character, morality and love of country should be the aim of our publio schools. In speaking of the lecture on Ameri can civilization given by Superintendent J. M. Devine, of LaMoure, at the court house Thursday evening, Judge Rose said it was not only a brilliant effort but the best he had ever heard. He wished it would be repeated in tbe legis lative halls of every state in the union, and in our national councils, and in every school house in the land, and he hoped that the teachers present would do their bes to reproduce its sentiments in every lesson it seems therefore that the new departure in the institute course IB likely to be a grand success. INSTITUTE NOTES. The first lecture of the institute course was given Wednesdayev9niug atthe court house. There was a good attendance and all felt richly repaid for their pres ence. Superintendent Wadsworth pre sided and introduced Hon. E. W. Gamp who was announced to lecture upon Hawthorne, the study of whose works the teachers are soon to enter upon. Mr. Camp protested against the designation of his address as a lecture, and said that owing to supreme court business he had been unable to devote much time to preparation. He then launched into an interesting narrative of Hawthorne's life and environments that showed a thorough familiarity with the works and lively interest the man who stands at the head of American fiction writers. He recounted many facts not generally known concerning the man and his works, and handled the subject in a man ner that held the undivided attention of his auditors. Mr. Camp esteems '-The Scarlet Letter" America's greatest con tribution to fiction and his disciiminat ing remarks upon the genius that pro duced this great work were worthy of a larger audience. At the conclusion of Mr. Camp's address, Hon. John Ogden, superintendent of public instruction was introduced and made an interesting talk upou the new departure iu institute work—the lectures upon American patriotism with a view to the inculcation of that desideratum in children at the public schools. Mr. Ogden bespoke a large audience for Mr. Devine when he lectures upon that subject this evening. The institute lectures last evening by Mr. Camp and Prof. Ogdeu were most interesting. The teachers desire to ex press their thanks to the lecturers. Prof. Ogden conducted several exer cises at the institute today. Hon. J. M. Devine of LaMoure, arriv ed today. He will be present at the vari oys sessions until the close on Friday. Tonight Mr. Devine will deliver bis lecture at tbe court house, beginning at 6:15. Mr. Devine is a lecturer of ac knowledged ability and his remarks are always full of interest and instruction. All who were at the court house last evening and heard Prof. Ogden will feel that the educational affairs of our state are in the best of hands. The profes sor's remarks v.-ere in a most happy vein, and were full of patriotism, and we can not but feel that to make good citizens of our children is the aim of the present educational administration. The announcement that Hon. J. M. Devine of LaMoure, would lecture on American civilivation called out a good audience last night. Mr. Devine is a pleasing speaker and a gentleman of culture. His remarks on the importance of cultivating patriotism in school children were pertinent and forceful. Yesterday afternoon a number of visi tors and the superintendent and teachers of the city schools were present. A practical illustration of tbe kindergarten methods was given by Mrs. Ogden. Superintendent Ogden and Mr. Devine addressed tbe institute. Mrs. Ogden's talks on kindergarten work has been the most attractive feature of the institute. The work of the institute will be com pleted today and the final adjournment taken. It has been a decided success and the discussion of new and improved methods of teaching will undoubtedly result in considerably raising the stand ard of efficiency of our teachers and schools. Forty-one teachers were in attendance. His Official Record. A dispatch from Racine, Wis., states that Gov. Peck has appointed F. T. Fish, of Racine, judge of the First judicial dis trict. Judge Fish is a republican, but received the endorsement of three-fourths of the members of the bar of his circuit. He is about 33 years old and a son of the solicitor general of the Chicago, Milwau kee & St. Paul railroad. Fish formerly resided at Valley City is a member in good standing of Spirit wood Lake lodge, No. 21, of the Inter national Liars association. Af a single handed liar he was out-ranked by but one man in the association, (G. Dickey), and expects to received the 33rd or last degree at the annual meeting in June. He joined the above lodge in 1885, and it was during tbe session of that year that he made for himself a record as a lawyer, being attorney for the defendant in the celebrated case of Chow-Chow vs. Fish, winning the case or his client by proving an alibi. The specimens of oratory, fit of his olothes and arguments used oh that occasion will ever be remembered by those pres ent. As a Fish story teller he has but few equate and no superiora. His ability for shirking work around the lodge was never excelled by but one member (San derson). As a fish catche he was way below the average. As a Fish eater be was just as far above. In bis own opinion he was considerable of a cook, and no person on earth could beat him frying potatoes, in fact Frank T. Fish posses* all the necessary qualifications of a good all ronnd fisherman. This well known fact together with the endorse ments of the members of tbe association of whioh he is an honored member has no doubt influenced Governor Peck (who is something of a fisherman himself) to appoiut Frank to this position which he is so well qualified to fill. VOL XIV JAMESTOWN. NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY MAY 2) 1891 C.E.B. A CHANGE OF RESIDENCE. Bishop Shanley Confirm* the Report that He Will Leave Jamestown. He Makes a Statement Anent the flatter to an Alert Reporter. {Seasons Why There is More Profit in Sheep now Thau Formerly. Reasons for Removing. Bishop Shanley returned Sunday night from Fargo, where he conducted a very successful mission last week. Father Connelly, who was with him at Fargo, also returned. An Alert reporter called on Bishop Shanley Monday to learn what truth, if any, there may be in the rumors concerning hie removal from Jamestown. The bishop said: "It is true that I intend to leave James town soon, and to make my home some where in the Red River valley. This change is necessary. The bishop should live where is people are. The great majority of my flock live in the counties bordering on the Red river from Fargo or Grand Forks I can leave home in the morning, visit almost any point in the diocese, and return to my home in the evening of the same day. All tbe priests of the diocese, with the exception of four, live within easy reach of Grand Forks and Fargo. The priests must visit the bishop ol'ten in the course of the year, and the journey to Jamestown is a heavy tax on most of them. Every priest in the diocese favors the change, nay, urges me to make it. A glance at the map will show the wisdom of my decision. "It has been stated that the people of Fargo have held out an inducement to me in the shape of 81*2,000 to bring me there, and that my decision has been Bwayed by that offer. Please in form the public for me that money does not influence me in the least. I have to do a certain amount of work as bishop of this diocese, and I intend to live where I can do that work to the best advant age. The Catholic congregation of Fargo owes a debt of 87.500 for property purchased last year. They have a mis erable church building. When they in vited me to make Fargo my home, I told tbem to pay off that debt and to raise money enough to justify me in beginning anew church. They went to work with a will, and in one week they collected 812,000. That money is not tor me, but for themselves. There is not money enongh in the treasury of the United States to induce me to do anything which I consider to be opposed to the best interests of that portion of the Catholic church over which 1 am bishop. Wherever I make my home I will still take good care of Jamestown. I intend to improve the church institutions here. St. John's academy is my own creation and it will soon be enlarged. Other in stitutions may come in the course of time. You will find me in Jamestown quite as often as of yore." PROFITS OF SHEEP GROWING. Reasons Why They Can be Larger Now Than Formerly—Encourag ing Prospects. In an address at Creston, la., recently, Geo. Van Houten, of Lennox, said: "The sheep industry has had its ups and downs, like other occupations, but for several years past the upward tendency has been so marked as to attract atten tion. Tbe numerous failures in the past have been such a warning, that people have been slow to venture again in sheep raising. When we look back and see the causes of failure with the many, and the marked success of tbe few, and with more intelligent effort and better breeds the almost universal success of the pros ent and recent past, it gives encourage ment to those who are already engaged in sheep husbandry, and induces others to enter the business. The free range of earlier times was an inducement to the flock master, yet the danger of disease by contact with other sheep on the range was a serious drawback. Breeds un suited to conditions, wolves, dogs and other things combined to discourage the industry. For many years these con ditions have been changing. Sheep now being kept on the land of the owner, disease is not so prevalent wolves have been nearly exterminated the dog law has been a benefit, not only in reducing the number of canines but in direct pay to the fiock master for depredations of doge. Better breeds have been intro duced. Sheep were formerly raised largely for their wool, but now mutton is in great demand and doubtless this demand will not only continue but in crease, in view of tbe fact that great care is now taken to produce good mutton sheep. Several sheep owners assert that mutton can be produced as cheaply as beef or pork, and some assert that it oosts lees per pound to produce it, and that sheep can be fattened for market with little or no grain. As mutton sheep sell more readily, and at better prices than what is known as batcher's stock, there must be a large profit in mutton, if there is any profit in butcher's stock. Viewed from this standpoint alone, sheep must pay better than hogB or cattle but this is not all. Tbe wool is no consider able part of the income, and several experienced sheep owners have told me that the wool alone will pay for tbe keep, abd that whatever is obtained from mut ton is clear gain. If this be true, and we dare not dispute tho statements of some JAMESTOWN WEEKLI ALERT. of onr most experienced members, the profit must be much greater than on any other farm Btock. Some say times change and there will soon be an overproduction of sheen as there now appears to be of cattle. How is it possible for this to occur in the near future, as according to the statistics there are only about forty percent of the num ber of sheep in the United States to pro vide mutton and wool for present de mands. Our population has increased more rapidly than have our sheep, and with every tlockmaster doing his utmost to increase his product, it will not be possible to fully supply American mar kets twenty years hence. Whether American Hockmasters shall have the control of our markets, is an economic problem to be settled later on, but one thing is certain, that with present con ditions there is no other farm stock that can be relied on to return the high rate of profit that sheep have brought their owners during the last few years. While we cannot fore-know what conditions may exist in the future, it is safe to as sume that there will be an evening up. In other words, we export a vast cattle products while we import avast quantity of wool and as a generation at least must pass away before our Hocks can be increased to supply the demand of our own markets the outlook is encouraging. A word of warning and I shall be done. The scarcity of feed in the west has com pelled the selling of all kinds of stock, and large flocks have been gathered up in states nnd territories west and ship ped into iuu a to be sold. Sheep tatte diseases easily, and a few with scab or other diseases may infect a wbole fiock. The men handling them are strangers, and even if known, and known to be honest men, it is hard to keep disease out of a large flock gathered from many points. Having had experience in this line I would rather pay double price to a neighbor for sheep known to be sound than buy those shipped in from auy where and take my chance of disease. All on Account of tho Rain. Everybody celebrated in some way or other the advent of the rain that fell all Tuesday night and continued at intervals during the day. People met on the streets, smiled openly to each other and exchanged congratulatory remarks. The feeling of anxiety over the continued dry weather has already disappeared. High hopes again rule the hour, and tbe sub stantial prospects give a zest to North Dakota patriots. Not only the human family rejoiced at the donation of the clouds, bnt the birds themselves seemed to show their appre ciation of the watery bounty. Over by the river a small flock of sea gulls exe cuted higher and wider curves in the air, and dipped nearer to tbe ground, pleased no doubt by the falling reminder of their native element. For nearly an hour a robin sat on a telegraph wire in front of The Alert office and sang for all his little music box was worth. The notes came thick and fast. The wind whipped the birds tail up and down, ruffled bis feathers, and made desperate efforts to blow him away. The gusty fine rain came down and beat upon the bird yet he budged not, but continued to pour out his heart in thankfulness for the fine rain. All nature showed unmistakeable signs of rejuvenation and delight over the rain. Trees have already taken on an extra green in their leaves. The grass, short and brown yesterday,is now only waiting for the warm sun to cover the prairie with a dark green carpet. From reports obtained by telegraph the extent of the rain is general through out the states, and will do an immense amount of good to all kind of crops. Dan Galvtn and President Harrison. In a letter to Otto Wonnenberg, D. J. Galvin, traveling auditor for the North ern Pacific, gives the following burlesque account of his reception by President Harrison, at Pendleton, Oregon, on the occasion of the presidential party's visit to that place: "I went down to Pendleton last Thurs day to 6ee tbe president and party, and the cordial reception I received would be enough to make Charley Avis a good republican had he been in my place. As soon as the president saw me he rushed up and said: *Hello, Galvin! old boy.' He inquired after several Jamestown people, wanted to know if Tom Driscoll had yet removed to Duluth. He then introduced me to Mr. Wannamaker. That gentle man was very pleasant and inquired if Judge Ot was still running on the J. & N. He said the only thing that had occurred during tbe trip to mar his pleasure was a rumor that had reached him to the effect that Mr. Mull had resigned. Hs hoped it wasn't so but seemed to be greatly disturbed over it and when I bade him good bye his eyes were full to overflowing. I next met Mr. Rusk who asked me all about Boynton and Kearney and if they had their seed ing done. Then came Russell Harrison who enquired for Frank Beals and wanted to know if Frank still had his horse. He also asked for Jim Bellivou who he said had visited with him at Helena, and seemed to feel very badly that he did not meet Will Topliff when Will was at Helena. Baby McKee also asked about Charley Avis' boy and hoped that when he got old enough he would be a good republican and maybe presi dent like grandpa." Crocus Hartshorn. The crocus blossoms have flowered early this spring and have already left the grass of the prairie desolate. Few flowers have yet made their appearance to fill the place of the early and beautiful wind blown blossoms of the crocus. A more practical and scarcely lees interest ing fact connected with tbe crocus is that by pressing and rolling the leaves and stems ot the flower until sap«xudes, a strong oder of ammonia is obtained. SOME SUCKERS HERE. A James River Valley Colony Being: Formed to go to Canada. Another Paeific Visitor Returns Says''Everything is Over Boomed. The Leasing of School Lands at the Court House, Sat urday. Canadian Boomers. The Canadian immigration agent who has been making his headquarters in Jamestown for a month or more is said to have found a number of people here abouts credulous enough to believe his stories of anew Eldorado in the north. And several families, it is reported, are seriously contemplating removing te the Canadian frost districts to raise wheat, notwithstanding their experience of 1888 in this more southernly locality. The Alert is informed that the Alberta boom er has progressed so far as to induce two lepresentatives of the proposed James River valley colony to visit Canada and make a report. These two advance agents will have their expenses paid and wiil be under obligations to make a favor able report. This agent was in Foster county last week and told Robert Hunter that he had lived in the Saskatchewan valley for fourteen years and that they had never been frosted out but once. Hunter knew a thing or two about Cana dian frosts himself and said he has rela tives in the same valley that have only lived there five years and have been frosted out three times. Alberta, where it is proposed to send the colony, is up near the place where Gen. Greeley and his Arctic explorers lived on human flesh to keep from starving. Railroad Extensions. Oakes Republican: The steam shovel is now at Milnor and considerable ma terial for the extension of that branch of the Northern Pacific to Oakes. The du tance to be built is only about thirty miles and work is to begin at once. This will gives Oakes an air line to Duluth. And a leading contractor on tbe "Soo" states that work on the Bismarck exten sion will begin in earnest on tbe 20th inst. There are twenty teams at Boyn ton now and a number of men who have been engaged by Contractor Winston and who are making the preliminary arrangements. These two lines in ad dition to tbe Oakes and Pierre road will gives Onkes railroad faoilitieB second to no city in North Dakota, and with those already in operation will give us seven diverging roads. It is not difficult to forecast the future when all these lines are in operation. And if tbe shops of the "Soo" are built here according to tbe original intention, the natural advantages of good water, perfect drainage, unlim ited artesian power only waiting for vent, and others too numerous to mention cannot fail to work out for th6 Gateway city greater things than its founders even dared hope for. Leasing School Lands. The annual leasing of school lands oc curred at the court house Saturday, as advertised. Bidders were few and only two pieces were leased—S.E. I4 of 16-137 61 to A. McMillan, at a rental of $12 per yea, and lot 1, sectiou 36-142-63, to J. E. Herbert, at a rental of 88 per year. Theoe pieces were leased for a term of four years and one year's rent paid in advance. The latter piece is tbe G. A. R. camp ground at Spiritwood lake. It was leased last year at a rental of 860 per annum, but the lease was allowed to lapse. Tbe piece was bid in by Mr. R. E. Wallece for Mr. Herbert for one seventh that rental. The G. A. R. post will continue to use it as a camp ground. Most of the parties who leased lands last year have paid an other year's rent. Pieces upon which the second year's rent has not been paid will be offered for lease again. The leas ing was adjourned until next Thursday. To Hear and Adjust Complaints. The railroad and warehouse commis sioners of North Dakota, give notice else where in this paper that they will be present at certain points in this county on dates and days named to hear com plaints of any person or persons in regard to discriminations or management of any railroad. Also, the commission is em powered to hear and investigate all com plaints or oppression in the grain trade. Anyone having a just cause of complaint or any matter wherein the commissioners are empowered to act can appear at the places named and Have a fair and im partial hearing and if the complaint is worthy, the commission promises to do their best to adjust it. The members of this most important of all the public commissions are aotive, practical gentle men who have expressed themselves as desirous of doing whatever lies in their power to assist the farmers of the state in any just and reasonable way. Assessment of Property. The assessors this year are listing all taxable property without regard to ex emptions. Last year no individual pro perty was exempt from taxation, but last winter the legislature passed a law ex empting personal property to the extent of 9200. The law. however, passed with out the emergency clause and does not become effective until after July 1st, //,'J f' V?*-' N '^'/'^•^y- ,^wt« 'A V?' NO 42 consequently the assessment is made under the last year's law. Tbe amend ment of last winter provides that each person shall list the amount of his per sonal property and the county auditor shall deduct the amount of his exemp tions (8200). When the assessors'lists are turned over to the auditor the new law will be operative ana it will be the duty of that official to make the deduc tions. It will thus appeer that people who have personal property of a less value than $200 will pay no personal tax this year. Decreased Acreage. New Rockford Transcript: Wheat seeding will be practically ended in this part of tbe state by the end of the pre sent week. As to the acreage planted in that grain as compared with last year the reports from all sections of the coun try disclose the fact that there will be a heavy falling off, mauy farmers estimat ing the shortage as high as thirty and forty per cent. Some examples may be cited in favor of these estimates. On the old Buell place near Auditor Getchell's farm, where 500 acres were sown in wheat last year only 100 acres will be planted this year I). B. Wellman puts in 200 acres less A. M. Thomson about the same as last year Robert O'Neill 100 acres less: J. B. Dafoe about 100 acres less G. W. Aldrish 200 acres less and so on. The lack of seed and the dis couragement of crop failure is the cause. Back From the Coast. "Bishop" E. S. Rolfe of Minnewaukan, he of "the face of a bishop and the heart of a sport"—was in Jamestown last Monday and went home Tuesday. He had just returned from a visit to the coast He says cities are away ahead of the country, the urban population being larger than the rural. Business and building seem to be languishing in the larger cities, which have been boomed and built to the limit of present condi tions. At Spokane, Mr. Rolfe said, there are not more than half a dozen buildings in process of erection. In that city, he says, there are probably 1,000 vacant office rooms. Most of th* small cities, the size of Jamestown, are fairly pros perous. Climatically speaking,the coun try was at its best when Mr. Rolfe saw it. Barnes County Bits. The bicycle craze has also struck Val ley City. The Patriot says: "A number of Valley City gentlemen are investing in bicycles, and as soon as the boys get their machines, the next move will be the organization of a bicycle club." Valley City Patriot: Work has been compltely dropped on the Soo extention from Hankinson to Valley City, and everyone wants to know when it will be resumed. We give it up. Sanborn Enterprise: New ties are be ing distributed along the railroad in this vicinity, and the roadbed put in better condition than ever before. There is said to be a scarcity of beef cattle around Sanborn, all the available stock having been bought up and ship ped east. A Call for Mr. Haas. To Peter Haas, Esq.: Dear Sir:—We tbe undersigned citi zens and voters of the Fourth ward re quest you to be a candidate at tbe com ing election for alderman, and hereby Eewis ledge you our support: T. Hamilton A. Steinbach A Klaus A W Kelley August Kuhn. Lynch Barrett E Bischoff Winslow Burke W Kelley and 30 others Jamestown, May 14th 1891. Accepts, To L. T. Hamilton and others: In reply to your request for me to become a candidate for alderman I will say that I have concluded to accept the same and if elected will do all in my power to promote the interest of the city, and particularly the Fourth ward. PETEK HAAS. Jamestown, May 19,1891. A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING. Interesting Incidents of Minor Import* ancc Concisely Presented.
