1t was the customary habit OF An
thony Trollope, perhaps the most me-
thodical of well-known English novel
lists, to always write with his watch
open on his desk When at work he
drilled himself into the practice OF
writing $50 words every quartcr of an
hour and placed his watch before him
to make sure of completing his thou
sand words an hour. He pooh-poohed
the idea of waiting for inspiration and
punctually produced his copy with the
regularity OF clockwork whatever his
mood at the moment. He made cal
culation to show that In this way, by
working at his desk only three hours
daily, be could write ten pages OF an
ordinary novel day and finish three
novels comfortably each year. 'I'rOi-

of his day-that a storm Is said to

Devils Lake People Moving
Out to chautauqua Grounds
Building Cottages.

Present indications point to the
largest building boom at the Devils
Lake Chautauqua this year known in
the history of the association. Every
year shows an increase in the number
OF people who make Chautauqua their
home during the summer. Not only
Devils Lake people take advantage of
the opportunity to spend the summer.
at this fine resort, but many farmers
and citizens from other towns in the
state are building cottages of their
own.
The Chautauqua railway has an
nounced that it will run trains dur
ing the entire summer and that the
service will be established in short
time. Coupon books good for TWEEN.
ty-five one-way trips will be sold for
$3.50. This is equivalent to a 20-cent
round trip rate. which is 5 cents less
than the regular schedule. For chill
dren from 5 to IL years of age, cou-
pom books good for fifty one-way trips
will be sold for $3.50. The coupon
tickets. will be good only before and
after the Chautauqua' session. Until
school closes school train will leave
Chautauqua at 8:15 a. M, and return
at 4:30 p. m. This will be a great
accommodation to families who usual
ly put of moving to Chautauqua until
after school closes for the summer.
Among those who are already pre-
pairing to build at Chautauqua are the
following, Devils Lakers:
S. A. Ham, manager of the North
western Iron works. who recently
moved to Devils Lake from Churchs
Ferry, has bought lot and will build
a handsome cottage.
j. ]. Burtscher of Devils Lake will
build one of the largest cottages on
the grounds, work on which has al
ready commenced.
c. A. Dodge will build a cottage
which will be credit to the grounds
in the addition which he plated last
year.
Merchant Halgren will also build
on lots in the Dodge addition.
Mr.. Jorgenson of the firm of John
son & Jorgenson. will build a hand
some cottage on his lot.
John A. Honey, the Edmore banker
insurance agent, will build a cottage
which viii rank with the best of
them.
n. Z. WdChluS, Tue We'll huOWu
farmer of Sullivan township, is hav-
ing plans and specifications drawn up
for cottage which will be built for
occupancy the year round. He says
he. knows Of no better place to live
all the time than at Chautauqua.
1t is only question of time when
many families will make their perma-
nent homes at the Chautauqua. The
only drawback at the present time
is the question of transportation. but
the railway company stands ready to
overcome this obstacle by maintain
ing an all the year round service as
/ soon as the people demand it even
If it is maintained at loss for year
or two. It is not improbable that the
line will be transferred to an electric
trolley line next year.

at 9 o'clock and at that hour there
were between fifty and seventy five
sports in the hall, Sullivan wouldn't
consent to go on with that amount of
money In sight, nor did the fans ex-
pect the full card. They agreed to
contribute a little more money, for
one bout between SieloH and Jimmy
Kelly. Both men were stripped and
preparing to enter the ring, when the
trustees of the Eagles hall put an
end to the proceedings.

TO PROTECT THE
LIGHT CONSUMER
It is Purpose of Company Or
ganized in Fargo Marion
May Be Manager.

Fargo, N, D., April 29.-Saturday
the organization of the North Dakota
Electric Light Consumers association
was announced and series OF law
suits. unparalleled in the history of
the state, is the immediate prospect.
The purpose of the new organization
is, as indicated in the title, the pro-
lection of the consumer. and the
scenes in the courts of San Francisco
are to be duplicated If the plans of
the promoters of the new association
are carried out.
The promoters of the new associa-
tion have been quietly working for
several days, and have secured fol-
lowing which insures the success of
the new venture. which is based on
the theory that electric light consunn-
ers are at the mercy of incorrect
meters. 1t is the purpose of the as
ISOLATION to bring to this state expert
electric meter men who will make
tests of the meters on the premises OF
members of the association. Based
on decision OF the supreme court of
California. the association will at
tempt to recover from the electric
light company the percentage Of the
amount paid for light and power since
the meter was installed, in the event
that the meter should prove to be
fast.
L. l.. Twichell. the well-known at
torney and brother of the speaker Of
the last. North Dakota legislature, has
been retained by the association to
press the suits in court, and L. r.

cles in the state and former electric
