WHAT q wonderful hold base ball
has obtained on the American people.
Fads In the sporting line may come
and 60. but there appears to be no let
up in the popularity of base ball.
Fo,ty years ago. in the days OF the old
EGkfords of New York. the Unions of
Morrisiana Ia New York suburbs and
the Nationals OF Washington. ID. c.,
the American people we're beginning
To go wild over base ball AS We re-
member it, the Nationals were the
first club TO travel They came west
in ls6s., and played games with lead
ing western clubs. such as club in
Chicago whose name we do not remem-
her, the Forest City Ut Cleveland and
the Forest City II Rockford. The
great Spaulding was then member
OF the latter club. Only few years
later. the Red Stockings Of Cincinnati,
after months OF play at home and
travelling, without losing game, met
with defeat, and the crowds the writer
Saw in front of the Chicago Tribune
bulletin board were us big as those that
one can find there when presidential
election returns are coming in. In
those days the man at the bat was the
hero. All those twists and contortions
that the pitcher goes through now
adays were missing then, and the
curlicleS and darts here and there
that the pitched ball makes were
missing. II was a goodly sight to see
the stalwart batter step to the plate.
spit OF, his hands. make IA mighty
swing, and then to see the ball ascend
Ing toward the heavens. with the
fielder sprinting 10 beat the band.
Nowadays, however, the pitcher and
the catcher are very nearly the whole
show. They have Us much intiunc.
"n the deStinies Of their club as l'ncle
Joe Cannon has ON the lower house.
And to us il doesn't seem nearly as
exciting Y" see IA pitcher trying to get
IN balls that can I he hit AS 1t did to
ssec EN- hit and then watch the batter
hike and the fielder race To get under
or la front of the ball. But. which
ever method be the ideal one. it is IA
fact that base ball continues TO lie the
great American game. and it is doubt
fnl il another half-century will see
any diminu,ion in the interest there
toattaching.

and the president and Secretary
Hitchcock, after thorough inves-
tigation, determined to act with
out more specific authority,
resting upon the belief that the
people will approve the policy
which is to prevent an injury to
the public interests.
Senator La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin played a prominent part in
the discussion in The senate on
this subject last winter. He
urged vigorously greater gov
ernment control of coal, oil and
other mineral lands in the pos
session Of the Indians. The SEN
ate, however, turned down his
ideas. Senator La Follette's
presentation of the subject at
tracted the attention of the pres
ident, as it was in line with the
consideration he was giving the
subject of the government retain
ing possession Of coal lands still
within the public domain.

! Making Cement Blocks

Warren D. Silver and Elmer
Moore, the two gentlemen who
started the new cement block
factory in this city are busy
turning out the new blocks.
They commenced operations last
Friday and already have several
hundred new blocks made. The
block is known as the anchor
block and the sides are held to-
gether by four pieces Of galvan-
ized iron. This leaves perfect
dead air space in the wall and
allows the plastering to be done
on the inside of the cement
block.
Mr.. Silver is in charge of the
business and has had several
years experience. He guarantees
his work and assures us that this
is the best block that he ever
made. The first ones to be used
here will be used in the new
bank building which will be
erected this fall just south OF the
Graphic Office.

G. n. FORCE
INCREASED
Great Northern Force Of Machinists and
Boiler Makers lncreased---Wofk
Here Doubled.

The Great Northern railroad
will increase the. number of ma
chinists and boiler makers in
this city, bringing at least eleven
more families to Williston to
live. There are at present six
boiler makers here and this num-
ber will be increased to fourteen.
There are nine 1nachinists and
this number will be increased to
twelve. This increase in the
force here is the result of a
change in plans as regards the
heavier repair work on the en-
gines. Heretofore only light
work, costing about 500 has
been done while in the future all
heavy work will be done here,
such work costing about $500
on each engine. Orders have
been sent in for several thousand
dollars worth of fues and other
material. Walter Bissel, one of
the force of boiler makers here
has been promoted to the posi-
tion of boiler maker foreman.
A. B. Ford, master mechanic,
was here the first of the week
making arrangements for the
new force and sending in orders
for the number of men needed.
They are expected this week.
The question now arises, where
will these families get houses.
Williston is short of houses at
present and there are eight Or
ten applicants for every empty
| house. Something should be
| done, and done at once to rem
edy this and we believe the COM
mercial club could do a great
dealin this line. Dozens Of new
houses are needed and should be
built an once.

GREAT SAVING.
FOR FARMERS
Northern Railroads Grant Sweeping
Reduction in Grain Rates--.G. n,
N. P. and 500 Give 10 Per
Cent Cut.
!,
North Dakota Farmers Wi

North Dakota Farmers will
save approximately 81, 100000
on this years wheat crop, as a
result Of the action of the Great
Northern, the Northern Pacific
and the 500 railroads in grant
ing reduction Of 10 per cent in
grain rates.
This reduction following a
similar cut a year ago is. good
news to the farmers of the
Northwest. It is particularly
pleasing to the farmers Of North
Dakota who are about to reap
probably the biggest crop OF
wheat in the history Of the state
and the biggest crop of all the
states in the Union.
It is estimated that North Da-
kota's crop this year will be
close to 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels.
In previous years North Dakota
has been second to Minnesota,
but this year it leads the world.
The saving on North Dakota, $
crop alone will be approximate
ly 81, 500, 900.
Official announcement Of the
cut was made late Saturday al
ternoon, as seen from the follow
ing dispatch:
st. Paul, Aug. 20-Late Sat
urday afternoon the Great Nor
thern, Northern Pacific and 500
lines filed with the state grain
and warehouse commission no
tice of a ten per cent reduction
in grain rates. The reductions
will apply to all territory more
