Portaae Road wln Haslen canaL.

Portage Road viii Hasten Canal.
The national government was 20
years at building Cascade locks, but
after the state built a portage there,
completion was FASTENED. The com.
mittees aver that a portage at Cello
win hasten the Cello canal in the
same way, but that without the por.
tage the secret influence" may re
.tard it indefinitely. Rush the canal
as hard as the government may, the
portage will more than pay for itself
before the canal is finished.
Men at the Conference.
The transportation committee was
represented by L. A. Lewis, Henry
Hahn, s. c. Kerr, jr., c. lombard, A.
H. Devers. l. N. F1eischner. r. F.

E. e. Lyle represented the open
river committee; also Mr.. Lewis, Mr..
Hahn and Mr.. Fleischner.
The men who made remarks were
Mr.. Lewis, Mr.. Hahn, Mr.. Devers,
Mr.. Honeyman, Mr.. Sears and Mr..
Lyle.
Mr.. Hahn was the leading speaker.
He put the question before the meet.
ing in a clear, forceful name Mr..
Devers followed with remarks quite
as vigorous. Mr.. Lyle testified that
Mr.. Hammond, who is engineer for
the state and also for his railroad,
estimated that the portage can be
built for s165 900. Mr.. Hammond has
said that the state can either move

ment was to be made 10 the law il

Huber Got a Roast.
Engineer Huber's opinion was dis.
cussed briefly. Mr.. Huber made the
estimate that S165.OOO would build the
road. but several days ago declared
that the portage could not be con-
structed for that sum by the state
survey. Mr.. Lyle remarked that Mr..
Huber, perhaps. was sore because he
had not ben compensated for his
original estimate, and furthermore.
Mr.. Huber once had estimated
the cost at S155, 900.
Mr.. Honeyman urged that a spe-
cial committee be appointed 10 urge

Friday the two committees held q
joint meeting at the Commercial club
Their debate was animated. even to
several degrees Of warmth. All the
conferees agreed that the state should
build the portage road, whether the
national government is about 70
build the canal or lot
Their only difference Of opinion
was as to the wording Of the resolu-
ton. and as to whether the commit.
tee should defer their declaration
until they had made further investi-
cation. One clause in the preamble
made a tie vote, but on the second
balance was outweighed by one vote.
The resolution then was adopted
unanimously.
The committee suspect a secret
influence" Of trying to ward of the
open river" But they more than
suspect; they are quite sure. and
they look in the direction OF the o.
r. & n. when the secret influence
comes to their mind.
Portage Road-Then Canal.
Get the portage road now, and
then get the canal" admonish the
committee. II the uortage cannot be
constructed for s165 600, they urge
that # be constructed, anyhow, be-
cause the relief sought is worth that
expenditure, and far more. The com
mittee consider II dangerous to tink.
er with tho law, in any way whatever.
The law they say. was passed for
an immediate purpose. That purpose
is just as urgent now as ever, nor
can it be served short Of five or six
years by the government canal.
In one single year the portage will
save in freight charges enough money
to pay for its construction.

Mss Tomiin Entprtains.

Miss Mary Tomlin entertained a
dozen of her young lady and gentle
men friends at her home Friday eve
ming With Hallowe;e en- features that
were decidedly unique in every way.
Each Of the guests was encased in a
sheet and pillow case and to make the
scene more ghostlike in character the
rooms were lighted with jack'olan-
terms. There were mysterious per-
formances gone through in which the
guests were solemnly conducted to
the throne of his Satanic Majesty
and from thence to a darkened Sepul-
cher on the second floor of the house,
the guide meanwhile relating stories
of fearful import calculated to har-
row up the feelings of the traveller
who was supposed to be crossing a
desert fraught with danger on every
hand. Refreshments were served
during the evening, and the table
was laid for twelve. At each plate
was laid an apple which supported a
burning candle. The refreshments
were served in pumpkin rinds, SYM
hol!c OF the occasion. Miss Tomlin
gave her friends a most delightful
evening and the event will long be
remembered by the participants.

MacarOni Wheat Into Flour.

Elk Point Courier: Macaro.li flour
is being made, yes, and being used to
d much greater extent than many
who are not acquainted with the
facts, suppose. In talking with Prof.
Kaufman Of the North Dakota agri-
cultural college the other day we were
surprised to learn how many mills
are turning out this -four in North
Dakota alone: and how many people
are using no other. The Millner
Rolling mills, also the Northwood
mills, are making this -four exclus-
lively. The Cakes mills are also
grinding 1t, though not exclusively.
as are the mills Of the Russell Mill
ing Co., at Jamestown and Valley
City. The new mills being built at
Lisbon will grind it exclusively. All
this is certainly very promising and
growers Of his grain, who were a
little discouraged at the opening Of
the season, have reason to feel very
hopeful.

bell. where in a few ~welI-chosen, i'm.
pressive words the happy young peo-
pie were united in marriage. The
father gave away the tride, Miss Pal
mer playing softly during the cere-
mony. Miss Tyler is one of Salem's
most accomplished young ladies, with

MRS. GATES AND COMPANY
Second Attraction on the Lecture
Course Was Given Monday
Night to Large Audience.

The audience which assembled in
the opera house Monday evening for
the second attraction Of the lectur e
and concert course was sufficiently
large as to inspire the Lulu Tyler
Gates Concert Co. to present an un-
usually good program, and it was
good, although the audience did not
seem to respond to the occasion so
far as hearty appreciation goes. Per-
haps some thought that the company
didn't measure up to the standard OF
others, but we believe the artists to
have fine ability in the special lines.
Mrs. Gates is the star of tho COM
pany and appeared four times on the
program besides responding to en-
cores each time. Her best number
was the scene from the arena, a
description Of a fight for life during
the reign of Nero. She gave it in
a thrilling manner and with much
dramatic intensity. Her other num-
hers were as equaily we'll given, and
some in the lighter vein brought
much laughter at her eccentriclties
in the work. Mrs. Mcconnell, the
contralto, has a wonderfully sweet
and powerful voice. and her singing
vas very pleasing. Mr.. Benne Hen
ton, who plays the clarinet and the
saxaphone, was heartily appreciated.
The latter instrument is a very del
icate n to play but the magnif-
cent tone the young gentleman
displayed and his technique stamped
him as an artist of great merit.
He was equally as good on his clar-
met, opening the program with a
solo on that instrument. Miss Marie
Ludwig played a harp solo. The
members Of the company left this
morning for st. Louis where they
appear Thursday evening.

SPOKE ON TEMPERANCE
Quincy Lee Morrow, a Strong ApOs

an Address Thursday Night.

The Method t church was fairly
we'll filled Thursday evening to hear
the temperance address delivered by
Quincy Lee Morrow, a gentleman
who has devoted the past nine years
to work in the temperance and pro-
hibition cause. Mr.. Morrow in his
talk displayed a thorough under
standing of his subject and presented
it to his auditors in a manne that,
evoked favorable responses. He put
the cause on a purely religious basis.
and confined much Of his discus.
sion Of the subject to, the elm
nation Of the liquor traffic through
the intelligence of the Christian vot-
er.w no he criticised to some extent
for his atfiliation with parties, whom
he claimed were dominated by the
liquor traffic. Mr.. Morrow expressed
the sentiment that a Christian voter
should never violate the rules of his
chulch or his religion in using his
ballot to further in the least this
traffic OR any Of it's supporters. He
referred to the political parties that
were forever settling the tariff, o
ey and other questions, and that Of
affording protection to the industries
of commerce. and he wondered when
the time would come that some pro-
lection would be afforded the young
manhood of the country. His discus
sion of the subject varied somewhat

THE FACULTY ENTERTAINED
The Students at the University were
Given a jolly Evening Satur-
day by the Faculty.

Heretofore over at the University
the students have been left to their
own devices on Halloween night to
devise ways in which to amuse
themselves and to celebrate he occa-
sion properly. This year President
Nicholson relieved them of that ne
cessity and at the same time his d.
plomacy prevented any disturbance
of property yer that way. He en-
listed the faculty in his method Of
entertaining the students and they
we're given a time that they will
always remember.
The Halloween party was held in
the University and practically all
OF the students were there to enjoy
what the faculty had provided.
In room II, where the start was
made, the fortunes of the students
were told in many various ways and
IN the room 10 they we're given a car
ride by Miss Chappell and Miss
Weaver. This ride fitted them for
the refreshments that were served
in the chapel by Mesdames Nicholson,
Graham and Mr.. and Mrs. Stout
and Prof. Griffin. The visit to the
art gallery in charge Of the Misses
Nicholson and Miss Starr was pro-
ductive Of much pleasure and two
prizes were awarded. The descent
was then made to the first floor in
room 3, where Miss Oein and Miss
Nosbier had charge Of a fishing party
and in the parlor A. B. Miller and
DR.. Graham had the game Of Luggies
to amuse their visitors. In the COM
mercial room Prof. and Mrs T. F.
Graham had a number of Halloween
games that were shown the INITIATED.
In the college office DR.. Nicholson,
who was designated as the imam of
all work. was found busy looking
after various details, and here the
Y. W. G. a. had a candy sale. The
affair was a great success and the
students voted to have the faculty
repeat the entertainment next year.
The male portion of the students
were exceedingly good this year and
instead Of tearing up the old side

ings as they have in, past years, they

TWO HALLOWEEN PARTIES

Entertained a Good Crowd in
Masonic Hall FRIDAY.

Friday evening the Eastern Star
Chapirt -lsc the first of what is ex-
pecirn 9, De a series Of parties during
the ".ulcl in the shape of a Hallow-
e'en party, AID the members turned
out in goodly numbers to the affair.
A portion of the evening was devoted
to playing cards, all engaging in that
pastime who desired, while there
were other amusements for those who
cared not for cards. Across the room
was suspended strings and from them
hung envelopes containing a rich
and rare fortune. Persons were
blindfolded and given a chance to
find their fortune suspended in the
air. The originator Of the fortunes
told mainly in poetry was indeed re-
s%ourceful as the glowing future was
unfolded to the possessor of az en-
velope. Apples were suspended from
strings in various parts of the room
and the guests devoted some time en-
%dcavorlng to get a bite. The at.
tempts were amusing in the extreme.
At a %seasonable hour the guests
formed into line and marched to the
banquet hall, which, however. was
enveloped in darkness, save for the

faced jack 'olanterns with which the
long table was decorated. 1t was a

The Lily and the Trinity.

There is a special reason why the lily
Is appropriate to the great Christian
festival. Lilies grow in threes or null
tiples of threes, and are thus emblem
attic Of the Trinity. In many old
churches the three petaled lily is
carved as a trinitarian symbol. This
form of lily is seen in the golden fleur-
de-lis of imperial France. The COM
mon lily has six petals in two WhOrls
Of. three each, with six stamenS, a
single pistil divided into three and a
three Waived seed capsule. The his
tory of the lily as associated with re-
ligious ceremonials excludes all species
except the white lily from connection
with the Easter services.
