about the same height the year around.
At some points on its lower course one
bank is invisible from the other. The

The .Achaean league was formed by
the twelve towns of Achaea for mu-
tual protection against foreign aggres-
sion. 1t was broken up by Alexander
the Great, but reorganized B. c. $50
and again dissolved B. c. lat. The
second of these leagues comprised all
the leading cities Of the Peloponnesus
and, indeed, most Of the cities and
states of Greece. 1t was this league
which contended with the Romans for
the independence Of Greece; but, it's
troops being defeated by Metellus at
Scarphaea and by Mummius near Cor
NTH, the league was dissolved, and all
Greece submitted to the Roman domi-

!. BRICKS .
Prospective Builders Wonder
!. Where Supply Is To
Come From IN r. +.

Indications point to large amount
of building the coming summer in this
city. This naturally causes those
contemplating such expenditures to
cast about for building material. It
is understood that the penitentiary
brick yard will not be in full opera
ton this year, if worked at all, and
if that is the case there will be a
shortage of brick locally that will
compel builders to import that neces-
sary article.
In the immediate neighborhood of
Bismarck are clay banks of exceeding
ly fine quality, far superior to the
clay used in the pen brickyard. This
clay has been thoroughly tested and
is found to be the equal of the best in
the state and capable of being manu-
factured into the finest pressed or
nodded brick. On John Yegen's farm
south of town there is an inexhaust-
able quantity of clay that will not
only make the finest brick but has
also been found adapted to pottery
work. Another fine bank was located
years ago on the farm. Of Steve
Welsh, near town, and doubtless a
search would uncover many more
deposits.
There is no good reason why Bis
marck should not have as good brick
yards as Dickinson and Hebron. The
material is here, the demand is great
and it would seem there was a splen-
did opening for "a plant capable Of
producing the finest grades. Such a
plant would be an employer of con-
siderable labor and in every way
would prove a good thing for the in
weston and the city. Can't the Com
mercial club move in this direction
with good effect?

Wagner and Schumaun.

-. Wagner, writing in 1916, said Of
Schumann: HE is a highly gifted mu-
stefan, but an impossible man. When
I came from Paris 1 went to see him.
I told him Of my Partisan experiences,
spoke Of the state of music in France,
then Of that in Germany, spoke Of
literature and politics, but he remained
as good as dumb for nearly an hour.
One cannot go on talking quite alone.
An impossible man!' Schumann gave
an account Of this interview, which
practically agrees with that Of Wag-
ner. Il have seldom met Wagner" he
said, ''but he is a man Of education
and spirit. He talks, however, unceas-
lngly, and that one cannot endure for
long together

The Term "Prime Minister"

"Prime minister is one of the many
terms in English which seem to have
been slang at one time. 1t was first
applied to Sir Robert Walpole, but in a
reproachful sense. Feb. II, 1742, after
twenty years tenure Of Office, Str Rob
ert resigned all his employmenBa
Having invested me-" he remarked,
with a kind of mock dignity and
styled me prime minister, they impute
to me an objectionable abuse Of that
chimerical authority which they Great
ed and conferred. Such a parsonage
as the prime minister or the premier is
not even mentioned in the official table
Of precedence and is unknown to the
written constitution Of Great Britain.
