STOPPED G. N.
EXTENSION
The GREAT NORTHERN WILL NOT CON-
STRUCT THEIR Line TO CROSBY
BUT GO into CANADA

According to the Imperial News
the line being built west from
Berthold to Crosby will not be
completed, not in that direction at
least, but will go northward into
Canada. The Editor of the News
states that he has received reliable
information from the President of
the Citizens Lumber Co.,, to that
effect. This company was con-
templating putting in yards along
the new line and President Kon-
nanz, according to the News, was
told by G.. n. officials that their
plans had been changed. If this
report is true it will be rather
hard lines for Crosby as that town
had practically moved to the loca-
tion chosen by the Great Northern.

WHITE EARTH
WAS DEFEATED
WlLLlSTON WINS GAME EROM white EARTH
BY SCORE OF II TO 2 WILLIS
TON IN LEAD

Williston defeated White Earth
Sunday in a rather one sided game
of ball played on Williston ground.
When the ninth inning was over
and the dust had cleared away the
score keeper was able to count up
the score and found that Williston
had II to her credit while White
Earth had but two. 1t is to be
regretted that one or two of the
players upon whom White Earth
depended were feeling rather to
good to play ball and this accounts
to some extent for the large score
run up against their team. There
was large crowd at the game
and the total amount of receipts
was very satisfactory to those
looking after the financial part of
the team work. Next Sunday
Williston plays Ray on their home
grounds. Up to the present Will
iston has percentage of 1000, the
only team in the league that has
not lost game.

WILLIST0N IS TO HAVE
300 BARREL FLOUR MILL
John Dunn and r. J. Anderson Visit City and Look
Over Prospects for Flour rlill-State
That They Will Put in Mill Soon

John Dunn of Park River and
r. j. Anderson of Grafton, two
experts in the milling line, were in
the city the first of the week look
ing over the prospects for a good
-four mill. They were greatly
pleased with Williston and before
returning to their homes Monday
evening stated that they had posi-
lively decided to build fine 300
barrel mill here. When asked
how soon it would be put in Mr..
Dunu stated that that would
depend upon how soon they
could get the machinery. He
stated that they were partial to a
certain line of milling machinery
and that it probably would be
some time before they could get an
order filled. When the mill is built
it will be made large enough to
hold machinery capable of turn
ing out 300 barrels of -four a day
but machinery for an output OF
about $50 barrels will be put in
first. The question of the amount
of wheat raised was the only one
that kept these gentlemen figure

RALPH HEUSTlS
ACClDENTLY SHOT
RALPH HEUSTIS IS ACClDENTLY SHOT AT
SHOOTING GALLERY SATURDAY
IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION

Ralph Heustis, who has been
working for Fred Klinsorge, the
electrician, for several months,
was accidently shot last Saturday
afternoon while working around
the shooting gallery south of the
Mckay Drug Store. Ralph was
there putting in meter and when
he went back of the targets he
made every one put down their
guns. Just as he was returning
to the front it appears that some
one picked up rifle and started
fooling with it. The gun was dis
charged and the bullet struck
Ralph in the right breast, piercing
the lower lobe of the right lung.
He was taken into Mckays Drug
store and DIR. Hagen summoned.
The Doctor had him removed to
the hospital where the wound was
examined. Grave doubts were
had at that time as to his recovery
and his mother who lives in Mi
not was sent for. She arrived
Saturday evening on Number five
and has been with her son ever
since. During the past few days
Ralph has improved somewhat and
Mrs. Heustis hopes to be able to
take him home inside of a few days.
Ralph is one of our most respect
ed young men and during his few
months residence in the city has
made host of friends who are
very sorry indeed to hear of his
injury.

MEMORIAL

SUES SPLENDID MEMORIAL DAY
MANUAL FOR SCHOOLS

State Superintendent Stockwells
office has had printed an excellent
little manual for Memorial exercis-
es in the public schools. The in
PRODUCTION of the booklet is as fol-
lows:
To the Teachers and Pupils of
North Dakota:
Memorial Day is again at hand.
This day has been set apart as a
legal holiday. Its significance and
importance should be recognized
thruout the entire state and suit
able observance given to it.
We urge upon you to embrace
the opportunity of renewing the
lessons of patriotism which are
taught the rising generation. This
day might we'll be termed "Old
Soldiers Day, as on May 3Oth each
year the public rests from it's la
bors to give honor to those who,
by their patriotic devotion fought
the battles of the republic and gave
US a country free and undivided.
The Youngest of the soldiers of 81
are now past middle life and every
wear finds the ranks of the surviv-
ors rapidly answering the last call.
It is duty which we owe to our
country to teach the boys and
GIRLS of our schools the lessons that
may be drawn from this history
of the great war between the states.
The northern men were men who
offered up their lives for the pre-
servation of their country. In the
southern army were men equally
brave and loyal to their cause.
In our exercises on memorial
day the animosities of the days
that are past should not be re-
viewed, but on the contrary they
should be entirely forgotten. The
honor and respect due patriotic de-
votion should be shown all who
participated in the great struggle.
As was said by the late General
Alger: Let us tread lightly by
each soldiers grave, be he from
the north or from the south for

The only school exercises held
on May 3Oth should be those ap-
propriate to the occasion. Honor
the living and the dead soldiers and
at the same time let us remember
the obligations which rest upon us
in the way of perpetuating the
principals for which they were
called upon to offer their lives on
the field of battle,

country they stated that they would
probably put in a boat of their
own.
Both gentlemen have had years
of experience in the milling busi-
ness and will give MS a first class
mill. Mr.. Dunn was formerly
manager of the Grafton mill and
is noY manager of a large mill in
Park River. Mr.. Anderson is as
sistaf5 manager of the Grafton
mil at the present time. He is
also secretary of the Grafton ball
team and ranks among the fast
ones on the diamond.
The credit for the securing of
this business enterprise for Willis
ton is due the Commercial club.
The club has been working on the
proposition for several months
and got these men SO interest
ed that they decided to see Willis
ton for themselves. That was all
that was needed. Once they look
ed the city over they could not
fail to see that the "Golden Op-
portunity' was theirs and they
did not fail to grasp it.

schemed for His Taffv.

When Andrew Carnegie was a
young man, he was inordinately fond
of taffy. And when we learn the
scheme he adopted to keep himself
supplied, it is easy to understand
why to-day he is able to build H.
braries.
Andy suggested to the other clerks
in the office in which he was employed
that they organize a club for mutual
Improvement. One of the rules pro-
vided that any member guilty of u.s.
ing an improper or slangy word or
violating any Of the numerous regula.
tions laid down for gentlemanly con-
duct, should pay fine OF one cent for
each offense. Tobacco was not al.
lowed in the office, so under the skill
full wire-pulling of Carnegie. 1t was
voted that the fund should be used for
the purchase of taffy. Carnegie was
elected treasurer and disburser of the
fund. and. as he never had to pay
fines for misconduct, his taffy cost
nothing.

ALL METALS HAVE LIFE.

Metals have life," said a metallur-

are metals lives to plants.
Here's the proof:
You know how a strip of muscle
will contract under the electric cur.
rent, and how, finally, it grows tired
and contracts no longer? Well, with
strip of platinum it is the same
thing. The platinum. too, grows tired
and refuses to contract.
And metals can be stimulated, de-
pressed, poisoned. Thus:
Platinum wire. immersed in water.
gives of an electric current that may
easily be measured. If you put bicar.
Donate of soda in the water, the stim-
ulated wire gives off a weaker cur
rent. Put in bromide of potassium.
and the depressed wire gives off a
weaker current. Finally put in oxalic
acid, and the poisoned wire gives of
no current at all. 1t will never again
give of any current. 1t is dead.
Now. leave 1t to you. If you can
tire metal, depress it, exhilarate IT,
and finally administer to it a fatal
dose of poison, have you not a right
to say that the metal has life?"

AT ten years DID," says the writer,
whose name has long been forgotten,
the boy has a heart and brain as
soft as the tender shoots of young

in warm rays of common sense.
Thirty years sees him developed

Is the true age of love; the age for
him to marry at.
AT 40 years, the prosperous man
has grown to be mandarin and wears
a coral button. But it would be truly
indiscreet to eonfide to him at this
early age any functions calling for
judicial intelligence or calm.
When he reaches so years, how
ever, although he has grown stout and
feshy, he is fit to hold any municipal
or state office; he can administer a
city or province or perform any
official duty.
But at 60 years he is old. Handi-
crafts and all active bodily activities
are beyond him. He gives his depend
ents and clients advice. That is all he
is fit for.
AT 70 he is just a dry rice straw
He has only one care; to husband the
breath of life that is left to him, to
preserve 1t, even by artificial means
His sons must assume the care of his
estate and the performance of his

injury is little less than miracle, and
the fact that the carriage was not torn
to pieces is surprising as the car of ore
was coming down the incline at fast
