for a good time during the
holidays and are in good
spirits. But behind all this
they are feeling rather sorry as
this is Prof. Kemp's last week
in the High Schools. He is
going to take charge of the
school of Forestry. We are
glad he is not going to leave
Bottineau and we regret to see
him leave our CITY schools. We
wish him success in his new
position.
There is quite an improve
ment on the basement this last
! week due to the work of our
janitor Mr.. Amsbaugh is a
cement floor.
About the worst nuisance in
the school is the pupils of the
upper rooms lettering in the
halls during recess and noon
hours. We wish this would be
stopped.
One of the new improvements
of the recitation room is a
dozen and a half new study
chairs. They add greatly to
the appearance of the room.
A committee was appointed
after Literary Society last Fri
day evening to choose a play
to be put on sometime in
March. They met Monday
evening and sent away for nine
plays to choose from.
The State examinations are
being held in the 9Th grade this
week. Quite a number are
taking them.
The school will enjoy vac
alton of two weeks. We hope
after the holidays are over we
would see every one back again
when school starts.
The Literary Society held it's
last meeting until schoolstarts
again. A very interesting
program was rendered.

he is a thorough, all-around

him.
At no time since Willow City
came into existence has there
been such display of Christ
mas goods as at the present
time and the farmers and citi-
zens are taking advantage of
the exceptionally low prices
and doing the largest trade in
those goods that has ever been
done here. Our merchants say
they are kept busy all the time.
DR.. and Mrs. Ely have gone

The Meat, of 1t.

Economy. of operation as the
irst essential of successful rail
roading. appears to be having g
it full exemplification in North
Dakota. From a study of the
condition of things in that
state it is difficult to escape
the conclusion that a desire to
make a record in reduction of
cost of transportation cuts a
large figure in tht deplorable
conditions which exist today in
that great grain country. The
capacity of motive power EN-
plyed is overtaxed, the move
ment of traffic is conditione d
upon it's accomplishment at
the minimum degree of cost
and such considerations as
prompt and efficient service
appear to be subordinated to
the settled policy of reducing
the cost of operation below any
point ever yet attained in rail
road experience Minneapolis

Lieut.. Col. Geo. A Dodd OF
the Tenth cavalary, who was
chief umpire at the camp of in
sstrnction, Fort d. A. Russell,
Wyoming, made the following
complimentary report regard
ing the North Dakota troops to
the department.
Lieutenant Colonel Truman,
commanding the regiment,
handled it we'll while in camp,
getting out of it service as
effective as the limited time
would permit, and was reward,
ed by material and satisfactory
progress. A1arge of the officers
und enlisted men of the regi-
ment had actual service in the
Philippines.
The field and staff seemed to
be men of especially good
moral and mental standing,
possessing considerable mil
itary experience. Jealous ener-
:getic in their duties.
The mpany OFFICERS
seemed also to be men of good
department. with remarkably
low percentage of the worthless
element, all anxious to learn
everything pertaining to their
military duties.
The enlisted men were sturdy
active and seemed to be of a
superior class, especially ply
sically. The former service
training Of a goodly proper
ton Of them tended to give the
organization steadiness mol
always found. Their general
behavior was as usually found
in national guard organiza-
tions, where lines OF denar-
cation separating grades Of
rank are rarely sufficiently
well defined These men also
showed especial aptitude and
spirit in the performance Of
their field dutres.
In case of necessity, probably
so percent Of this regiment. as
it appeared in camp, conld be
made at once availrble for
actual service.

the people here knew be was

benefit of being honestly mis-

has iourneyed to Jackson coun-

them as to their civic duty, and
twice have they repudiated him
and ignored his advice. They
feel he was mislead by Shan

minds to anuihilate his bench

future interference IN their af.

here has been most harmful and
expensive to the taxpayers
most ruinous to good morals

Democrats Gain

analysis of the returns from the
states places the Republican
majority IN the house of repre-.
sentatives at Al This repre-
sents a Democratic gain of thir.
ty.four members over their rep
resentation in the last congress.
1t places the total Democratic
m EN- bership az 215. This is five
more members than the Repub-
licans had in the Fifty. eigth
congress four years ago.
The majority may be reduced
to forty-two, since one district
in Ohio is reported as in doubt
and probably Democratic. The
Democrats still have hopes of
getting the Twenty fourth Hi.

the Democratic candidate. If
Williams should be elected the
figure would be brought down

Badly GaShed.

Frank Kline has learned that
to toll a big boar is one thing
and to force him through a gate
is another.
Frank had dog and a club,
the dog was game and the club
rotten. The gate WAS open, the
boar wheeled and Frank broke
the club over it's head and then
in trying to get out of the en-
ragged animals way, tripped and
fell on his back. The boar
rushed upon him head down,
and striking between the legs
ripped the inner side of both
thighs badly.
Fortunately at that stage of
the trouble the dog made it so
hot for the furious brute that he
left the master for the faithful
dog and permitted the master to
escape further injuries.
