North Lemmon, Adams Gounty, North Dakota, Friday, April
ARBOR DAY.
GOV. BURKE'S PROCLAMATION.
There has never been, in the
history of the world, such wide
spread interest in forest culture.
To save their vinyards and orch
ards. France and Italy are now
reforesting their watersheds,
while in our own land the best
authorities claim that in 25 years
our forests will be exhausted.
The rapidly disappearing forests
have caused our government to
set aside as national forest re
serves large tracts of timber
which are under the care and su
pervision of the government.
Our state should not be behind
the times in this great movement
Ours is a prairie state, an agric
ultural state, and the influence of
trees and forests in producing and
conserving moisture, in breaking
winds and in tempering climate,
is well known. North Dakota
does not need forests for lumber
and fuel alone, but needs forests
also for the great benefit they are
to agriculture.
Therefore, for the purpose of
encouraging the planting and cul
tivation of forest trees, I do here
by designate
FRIDAY, MAY 1ST, AS ARBOR DAY
for this state, as a day set apart
for the planting of trees and
shrubbery in school yards and
public grounds, and that the only
exercises held in the public schools
on such day be those relating to
forestry, the influence of forestry
u]on the air, the soil, the rainfall
and the conservation of moisture,
so that the rising generation may
grow up with a knowledge of its
greatest benefit to agriculture in
.this great agricultural state.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State of North
Dakota, at the Capitol at Bis
marck, this 18th day of April, A.
D. 1908. JOHN BURKE,
[Seal] Governor.
By the Governor:
ALFRED BLAISDELL,
Secretary of State.
Williams County is found with
the Stalwarts. To be sure, the
corners of the state should all be
right.
We acknowledge with genuine
pleasure the receipt of a fine map
of the United States, published
by the government, and tendered
through the kindly offices of Sen.
Hansbrough.
The N. D. Agricultural College,
in a circular letter, full of good
information, urges farmers to
plant strawberries, pointing out
the fact that that luscious "rem
nant of Eden" does splendidly in
this state, if cared for with brains
and a reasonable share of elbow
grease. Send for the circular—
and get the plants—and do it now!
Industrial education—one of
the best gifts of Europe to the new
world, has come here to stay.
America is daily realizing more,
that the training of the mind is
but half a training iflhe hands be
not trained too. It is especially
gratifying to North Dakotans in
this regard to note that the N. D.
Agricultural College, of F'argo, is
doing a glorious work for its
pupils by training them not only
to think but to do things and do
them thoughtfully. The influ
ences radiating from that school,
the state's most cherished edu
cational institution have gone
abroad in the land, and every
where where opportunity offers
courses of study in creative craft
—sloyd work—are being intro
duced. Meanwhile the Agricul
tural College is gradually develop
ing into a polytechnicum of high
standard, a school that shall bless
our state with greater blessings
year by year, by teaching the no
bility of labor, intelligent labor.
TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS.
On Tuesday last both Missouri
and Prairie townships enjoyed
the unused to luxury of a first
township election. The day was
marked by beautiful spring wea
ther, and many no doubt failed to
avail themselves of this oppor
tunity to help "save the country,"
by tending to their work in the
field.
At caucuses held prior to the
day of election tickets had been
nominated, there being no opposi
tion whatever, save for one ins
tance in Prairie township, wheiv
Montrose Weslbury was voted in
over the head of Geo. Fields as
justice of the peace.
The township meeting for Miss
ouri twp. divided the town into
four square road districts.
For Supervisors, Leon A. Pot
ter, Elmer Winans, C. G. Schnee
berger.
For Town Clerk, Roy Palmer.
For Treasurer, Earl Papke.
For Assessor, Fred Hanna.
For Justices of the Peace, A. F.
Rogers, Montrose Westbury.
For Constables, Roy Croniger
John Rhoades.
For Poundmaster, Adolph Rue.
For Overseers of Highways,
Dist. No. 1 A. M. Johnson. Dist.
No. 2, A. N. Clark. Dist. No. 3,
D. Rycroft. Dist. No. 4, Herbert
Westbury.
A feature much enjoyed by
the boys was the entertainment
accorded them by Ed Gilmore
who left nothing undone to make
them feel he wants to be a good
neighbor—even to the occasional
wiping of the dust out of their
eyes—and throats.
ELECTION AT HETTINGER.

the village of Hettinger on Tues

tice Mr. Ahlness for treasurer,

Prairie township held posses
sion of the State-Line Herald's
humble quarters, and the good
natured run which "Monte"
"Easf'-bury's friends put up for
him, gave the event just a little
touch of ginger. However only
thirty votes were polled, in which
the successful candidate for jus
tice received 18 votes. The town
ship session decided also to divide
into four square road districts,
and made a levy for taxes of 21-2
mills for general and 3 mills for
road purposes. The following
were made officers, to serve until
the regular township meeting
which however will not be until
March next.
eoiiiso" era
Clerk of Court Brundage, of
Hettinger, desires us to state that
he has no power or authority to
issue citizenship papers to parties
from outside liis jurisdiction.
Again and again persons whose
habitat had been outside North
Dakota and Adams county have
applied to him- only to 1)3 disap
pointed. The federal laws are
strict and to the point and demand
that naturalization must be ap
plied for or effected where the
party has been living. A man
cannot neglect this duty to his
new country and expect to be
taken in any old place, whenever
it suits his convenience.
Now that the water has pretty
well run off in the coulees it
would be time well spent if the
homesteader who is so situated
were to build a reservoir where a
good opportunity offers and thus
prepare for the retention in these
parts of the moisture which other
wise would soon run off to no pur
pose. They dont need the water
in the Missouri -Mississippi val
ley, but who will deny the impor
tance of saving the rain of heaven
for this country into reservoirs?
There is hardly a quarter, but
wrhat by the effort of a few days
work big quantities of water could
be stored somewhere on it, whi»-h
would add not only greatly to the
convenience of the homesteader,
but would prove of inetir.nalie
value to gardens planted near by,
not to forget that the reservoirs
would have an influence, on trie
climate.
