The insuffciency of the local tele-
phone service of late has been the &C.

CHILDREN MAY REAR
SHEPHERD MEMORIAL
Will Be Made Agents to Solicit Con-
tributions Throughout the City.

Acting Chairman Cox. Of the Shepherd
memorial finance committee. has issued
a circular letter to the members OF the
committee appealing to them to renew
their efforts in behalf OF the project.
While the projectors of the memorial
anticipated some difficulty in raising the
800 600 which they hoped TO be able TO
secure for the project. they have been
somewhat surprised at the lack OF sup
port which they have secured from the
public
The most surprising part Of the stu
alton 10 them is in connection with
those from whom they had expected
large donations. Where they had eX-
pected thousands they have with diff
Guilty secured hundreds. Those who were
started on the road to success through
the opportunities placed in their way by
the late Alexander r. Shepherd when he
undertook the lifting of the city from
the mud puddle have been among those
who have exhibited the greatest indif-
ference in furthering the project.
Barry Buckley. the chairman OF the
committee on donations in the public
schools. has been in communication with
Commissioner mcfarland and Gen. II
V. Boynton. chairman of the School
Board. with reference TO the privileges
20 be accorded his committee in its
work II is not his desire 10 ask contri-
buttons from the school children, but
rather to appoint each of them an agent
of the committee to solicit contribu-
tions. with handsome prizes for those
who may secure the best results. The
personnel of his committee will be an
nounced as soon as their work Is fully
determined upon.
Gen. George H. Harries. chairman OF
the committee on corporations. is also
busily engaged in the preparatory work
OF his committee.

NORTH DAKOTA ~CREAMERIEs.

South Dakota has for some tim Q
been famous for her very successful
creameries. She has had many fail
ures, it is true, but has made some of
the finest butter records, and has some
of the finest creameries today to be
found in the United States. North
Dakota, however, is proving a close
second, and bids fair, in the near
future, to hopefully contest first place
in both products and plants with her
more southern sister. A report to the
Minneapolis Journal gives the fol-
lowing interesting figures:
"The jamestown creamery is as
sured by the organization of a com
pany of Iowa and Jamestown men to
build and operate a modern plant.
Hubbard & Hopkins of Holstein,
Iowa, and George Brown and F. M.
Lambert Of jamestown, are the incor-
porator. The machinery is ordered
and the building will be ready by
May 1, if present plans are realized.
"There have been eleven new cream
cries started east of the James river
this year in central North Dakota and
several are being organized for the
Red River Valley proper. The

countries in the western part of the
state paid the farmers Q 800, 600
