NEW SUMMER
RESORTS
The Turtle Mountain Country Has
Delightful Resorts for Fishermen
and Tourists.


The Turtle Mountain region in Ro-
lette and Bottineau counties is rapid
ly coming to the front as summer
resort region. The heavily wooded
hills, the picturesque scenery and
beautiful lakes that abound every
where rival in attractiveness the
famous Adirondack region of New
York. The building of the Great
Northern branch from York into the
southern side of the mountains. the
past summer and the extension of the
st. John branch into Canada, which
Is now under way, have brought the
region into easy access from the out
side world. Two lakes, Metegoshia,
twelve miles from Bottineau, and
Epsilon. seven miles from st. John,
are now attracting special attention.
Both of these lakes have abundance
OF fish, including muscalong, pickerel,
and lake trout, all the delight of the
fisherman. Lake Epsilon is surround
ed by beautiful hills. heavily wooded,
and we'll stocked with game. Nearly
the entire lake shore has been laid
out in town lots and which are being
rapidly sold. Once the building of
summer residences in this delightful
region is commenced, it will soon lie
a rentable mecca for people of the
northwest A large number of Bot
tineau citizens are interested in
summer resort at Lake Metogoshia.
and large number of cottages are
already erected there. A good sum
mer hotel has been built and a num-
Der of gasoline launches have been
placed on the lake. Both places are
destined to become splendid summer
resorts at no distant day.

Twas the night before Christmas
and everyone had retired for the night,
the lights were all out and hubby
had just turned over and settled down
for a comfortable nights sleep when
there came resounding kneck at the
back door. Hubby listened for min
ute and the knock was repeated loud
er and more imperative than ever.
Must be one of the roomers who has
! forgotten his key" said wiley. Bet
ter go down and let him in" So
hubby climbed out of bed and with
much grumbling over the forgetful-
ness of the roomer slipped into his
clothes and went down stairs. Mean
time the knocking had increased in
fervor and the house resounded un-
der what sounded like. fusilade.
Hubby finally reached the door after
barking his shins and falling over
several chairs and after fumbling with
the lock swung it open ready to give
the roOmer a piece of his mind for
his forgetfulness. But imagine his
surprise when the sweet voice of a
neighbOring young lady asked !:
Might l use your telephone?" Hub
by managed to gasp out permission
and the young lady swished over to
the telephone and after getting the
number and person she wished for,
said: Hello, is that you, John
Can't you come down and spend the
EVENING"" And now hubby swears he
will have the phone taken out

MAGNIFICENT
PALACE
Red River Valley Farmer Who Has
n Home Furnished in Princely
Styln

The finest farm home in western
Minnesota, and probably in the en-
tire state, and one equal in comfort,
luxury and convenience to those of
the wealthy in the large cities is that
OF Ole Bangs of Oslo, in Polk county.
The residence cost when completed
about $4,000, and has every modern
convenience of water, heat, sewer
and sanitation. Four large barns, a
complete system of water works, and
other conveniences give the home all
the surroundings of luxury. But the
great feature is the magnificent fur
niture placed in the home. The din
ing room and parlors are furnished
In solid mahogany, and are fit to
grace the palace of prince. This is
also true of every room in the house.
The smokers room with it's luxuri-
GUS furniture of Antwerp finish is
rich in oriental comfort. The guest
chambers, one furnished with solid
mahogany and the other with brass
bed and bird's-eye maple are fine
enough to entertain a king in. The
bed chamber of Mr.. and Mrs. Bang
is the finest this side of Chicago,
barring none. Each member of the
1annly has room of his own fur
nished according to his own taste,
and in style commensurate with the
rest of the home. There is abundant
evidence of refined taste also. On the
walls are paintings from the brushes
OF the masters that have been the
envy of art connoisseurs.
The furniture throughout the en-
tire home is of the very best and
most expensive patterns, is of the
best design and construction and
is absolutely the best productions OBJ
tainable. 1t was manufactured by the
Nelson Matter Furniture company of
Grand Rapids and was selected and
ordered through the wholesale and
retail furniture and piano dealer O.
Young of this city, and the goods
making an entire car load, were
shipped direct to Mr.. Bang from Grand
Rapids. The manufacturing firm
state that there is nothing finer man
ufactured in the country. Some idea
OF the costliness of the furniture may
be gathered when it is stated that the
tive pieces OF crotched mahogany re-
quired six months in the manufac-
turing.

How North Dakota Girl Informs
Her Eastern Relatives of Her In.
tense Poverty and Great Need Of
Help.
A few weeks before Christmas the
wife of a young man who had come
to North Dakota a few years ago
from All. eastern. state, and about q
year ago had been Joined by the girl
of his choice, received letter from
the husbands sister, in which it was
automatically stated that the writer
being aware of the independence and
pride of her brother, and fearing to
offend him, was fearful that the
young people had come to want, and
asked the wife to send list of such
things including potatoes, cabbage,
flour and other necessaries as would
be needed to keep them from suffer-
ing during the fearful winter, and the
family in the old home would send
them as Christmas gifts SO that the
pride of the son and brother would
be wounded as little as possible. A
stamp, envelope and sheet of paper
were enclosed for the return list The
young wife replied on the printed
stationery of her husband, and stated
that they were indeed in sore need
of help. That they were then living
in miserable shack that had cost
only $4,000, that she did not have
thing better than Brussels carpet to
put. on the floors, that their barn was,
miserable thing only 4Ox100 feet,
and that 1t was hardly large enough
to stable the twenty-five horses they
had left. She piteously told of how
she had no other means of reaching
the town than to drive in closed
carriage, and that the best she had
to wear was dress the cloth of
which cost the pitiful sum of $2.75
per yard, and an old fur coat that
she bought for SIS. And worst of all
the only gift the devoted husband
could give her for Christmas was a
piano that cost him only $475. The
crops had been gathered, and when
the expenses were taken out, they
had the pitiful sum of $500 for their
summers work, and that in view of
these circumstances anything that
could be spared from the old home
would be accepted. The Christmas
gift from the east did not arrive

A Popular Ofacial.

Mr. Geo. A. Duis, the present mayor
of Grand Forks is native of Illinois.
He first saw the light OF day at
Dixon, on the first day of December,
1868. Mr.. Duise spent his boyhood
days in his native town and remained
there until twelve years of age when
he left Dixon to 60 to Indiana for
the Garr-Scott Threshing Machine
company. He was employed by this
company as superintendent of sales
up to the spring of 1897, when he
left Richmond, Ind, to come to Grand
Forks and engage in business for him
self. Engaging in the farm imple-
ment business on his arrival. here,
Mr.. Duis has by hard work and close
attention to business, been able to
establish large business and now
occupies large quarters on South
Fifth street. n
In the spring of 1894 Mr.. Duis
was induced to enter municipal poll
tics a. candidate for mayor on a
non-partisan ticket. He was elected
after a stirring campaign and, since
assuming the Office he has given
Grand Forks clean and business
like administration. Before his cleo
ton to the mayorality chair the only
public Office that Mr. Duis had ever
held was that of town clerk in the
town of South Dixon.

As a Winter Resort.

Talk about wintering in Florida or
southern California, what is the mat
ter with Grand Forks and North Dako-
ia! Last week one did not have much
use for an overcoat and passing
shower refreshed the growing vegita-
ton. 1t is not often that the people
of this latitude are treated to a gentle
shower of rain in the dying days of
December and yet such was the phen-
omen presented by nature last week.
Apart from little snow and wind
few weeks since, the winter thus
far has been one of mild temperature
and ideal weather
A lady who recently arrived in the
city from Tennessee said to a Times
man. DO you know that when left
the south expected to freeze to death
in Grand Forks and will you believe
me when l say that l am wearing
exactly the same clothing here that
wore in Tennessee and am Just as
comfortable. If the weather does not
get more severe than it has SO far |
would just as soon winter in North
Dakota as Tennessee. ,.f

President Joseph Carhart of the
Valley City Normal while in the city

f. A. expressed his entire approval of
the plan for denominational schools of
DR.. Robertson of the Red River Val
ley university of the Methodist
church. He believes that the denom-
national schools should be grouped
about the state university in order to
concentrate the work of higher edu-
cation and at the same time give the
denominations Il chance to pursue
their own particular lines of work.
The plan of congregating all of the
institutions OF higher education in the
state about the university in this city,
is one which seems to meet with the
general approval of educators gen.
general approval of educators every
where. 1t behooves Grand Forks to
keep an eye on the situation and TO
see that the idea is fostered. The
gradual gathering of UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges here means much to the city
and the people can we'll afford to fos-
ter the idea. A committee has been
suggested to watch the situation and
be ready to act if the occasion re-
quires.
