Mr. Pickard is that type of globe-trotting author who seeks the quaint and curious places and people as subjects for his clever descriptive articles. In his present series of twelve articles which we have arranged to print, he has touched ndt only the actual work of building the canal, and the people who have accomplished it, but has gone into what the newspaper worker knows as the side lines, and which as a rule are of as much interest as the main story.

Clarke, who resigned as superintendent of the schools to take a much better position in a normal school at Minot, N.

It would have been a fine thing for our town and for our schools if we could have kept him and yet we are glad that he has secured a position that is regarded as especially desirable in the way of salary and the possl bllity of future advancement, and he carries with him the very best wishes of our people, who will hope for him and his family a happy and profitable life in Minot. r «! ■'' , ~
