SEVERAL BEAUTIFUL
MEMORIAL DAY
WINDOWS
Local Business Firms Display
the Attributes of a Patrio-
tic People.

AS indirect beneficiaries of those
who have given or imperiled their
lives in defense Of the nation. many
of the large business houses of the
city have reared window displays cal
culated to strike to the heart and to
manifest the idealistic attribute of a
patriotic people.
The bivouac scene in the windows
of the Ontario store planned and car
ried out by Decorator Karl Roth, is
an elaborate pictorial sketch Of the
typical campground of the U. S. SOL
der, with the pigmy tent and the arms
stacked in regular rows down the
front. In the center Of the window
is cavalry trooper. mounted on a
white horse, the latter. one of the
chief points of attraction, as it is one
solid piece of oak, shaped and worked
into an equine creation by an old
woodsman near Red Lake Falls, Mimi.
The Ontario window display reflects
credit upon NJ. Roth as a decorator.
w. B. Roe's photograph windows
also present true patriotic scene,
with Old Glory unfurled over the ram
parts, beeming out its American ideas,
American history and American feel
ings. Mr.. Roe has combined the ideas
OF war time and peace and his grim
cannon, staring obviously through the
walls, has been strewn with flowers
and ferns, the entire scene being one
at the same time touching and impress
sive. The window is also nicely dec
GRATED with the large, life-sized photos
of Grand Forks veterans of the civil
war
The Memorial window effect in the
Benner, Begg & Garvin store, de-
signed by w. NJ. Baldwin, probably
the most experienced advertising and
decorating expert in the city, ex-
presses the deepest respect and rever-
ence, carrying out the sentiment of
an idea that originated in Columbus,
Miss, when the women decorated
alike the graves of the Blue and the
Gray.
Mr.. Baldwin has two children with
clasped hands and robed in the colors
of the union and the ccnfederacy,
placed in the central portion of his
display, the flower effect carrying out
perfectly the thoughts OF the words:
Under the sod and the dew,
Awaiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms the Blue,
Under the garlands the Gray.
A large framed portrait of George
Washington adorns background
position enhancing the lasting value
and demonstrating an even deeper
significance of tomorrow's inspiring
observances than that expressed in
the twining of the Blue and the Gray.

Sacramento. Cal, May 29.-Great
preparations are being made here for
the entertainment Of delegates to the
Fiftieth National Irrigation congress,
which will be held In this city Sep
TENDER . to next. The people of
the entire state are behind the effort
to make this truly notable session
and great national event. At a
meeting held here recently to consid-
err plans. there were present prom
inent citizens of twenty counties of
the state who decided that in order to
properly prepare for and entertain the
delegates fund of $4,000 should be
raised. The board of control, con-
sisting of prominent citizens of this
city and state, announce that the
greater portion of this money has al
ready been subscribed, and plans are
being made accordingly.
The headquarters of the National
Irrigation congress in this city Is in
correspondence with prominent men
in every state and territory of the
Union. relative to the coming session
of the congress, and officials in
charge confidently anticipate an at
tendance of several thousand dele
gates, comprising one of the most
notable national conventions ever held
in this country.

terstate exposition of irrigated land
products and forest products. Splen-

medals and cash prizes for individ-
ual exhibitors that cannot fail to slim
ulate competition throughout the ir-
rigated states.

people of California, because of an
appreciation of the very great impor-
lance to this and other western
states and to the country at large of
the purposes for which the congress
is held. 1t is recognized as an i'm
portant factor, especially in the de-
velopment of the great west, and
for this reason no pains or expense
will be spared to insure its greatest
success.

direction the work of preparation is
being carried on. consists of nine
prominent citizens, including Gov.
JAS H. Gillett Of California and Mayor
NJ. r. Beard of Sacramento. George

.CHAUTAUQUA 4 VERY
BEAUTIFUL
PLACE
North Dakota's Great Summer
Resort at Devils Lake-Ro-
mantle Surroundings.

The annual North Dakota Chautau-
qua will open this year on June %
and closes on July 16. The Chautau-
qua is held at Devils Lake.
The Chautauqua park is one of ideal
romantic beauty. 1t comprises 100
acres of native forest, covered with
and studded with beds of wild roses.
1t has an elevation of forty feet
above the level of the lake and slopes
gently. forming an immense natural
beach.
The forest has been kept as near
to natures designs as possible, and
the winding roads among the sylvan
monarchs. the delightful shade, the
romantic woodland dells. the scene of
enchantment that cannot be painted
by artists brush nor described by
poets pen.
Aside from the strong and compre-
hensive program, the greatest delight
of Chautauqua is its cosmopolitan
life. of which it is the originator. Life
in the open is one of the greatest
pleasures OF the assembly. In the
woodland park is built every year a
city of tents, in which the free and
delightful life of the forest is lived
in all its reality. Life in the tent and
beneath the shade of 6orest trees,
camp cooking, with all its aappetizing
features, the best of society, uncon-
ventionality-all are here.
Another delightful feature of this
famous summer resort is in its aquatic
pleasures. The waters of the lake
possess number of elements in solu-
ton which make it the finest place for
bathing in the world. Not only is it
more invigorating than the waters of
the ocean. but the mineral solutions
are highly conducive to health.
The boating is unsurpassed, the
beautiful Chautauqua bay, which
forms much of the foreground of the
park, being sufficiently protected from
the winds to make rowing and sail
ing delight. while the daily trips
OF the pleasure steamers afford all
the delights of an ocean trip.
The surroundings are of the most
romantic character. The great body
of water which the Indian called
"Minnewaukon," meaning spirit water,
is the last remnant of the great inland
sea of post-glacial ages. About it's
shores the Red man has woven some
Of his most beautiful legends and the
visitor seems to catch the very spirit
of the beauty and romance as he sits
beneath the trees in the park and
looks out over the CLASSY waters set
in the frame of emerald green in the
fading twilight or beholds the moon
rising from behind the distant hills,
where the horizon is lost in the dis
lance, and slowly breaking the deep
of twilight darkness with it's silver
light, touching the waves with its ra-
dience and transforming them from
shimmering green to silver white, and
finally blending with the forest lying
out among the shadows.
The North Dakota Chautauuua thus
combines all the pleasures of camp
life in the woods, season at the sea-
shore, sojourn in the land of TO
nance and artistic beauty. and sea-
son OF lectures, entertainment and
music. such as can be found in only
the largest cities, and at price SO ex-
tremely low that it is accessible to all.

FREE LECTURE.

BY DIR. j. n. Mccormack Mt the
Opera House Thurs
+. day Evening.

DR.. ]. n. Mccormack, of Bowling
Green, KY, secretary of the State
Board of Health and chairman of the
American Medical Association, will
deliver free public. address at the
opera house Wednesday, Sept. 8, at
s o'clock p. m. This meeting will
be held under the auspices of the
Harrison County Medical Society.
The American Medical Association
which Dr. Mccormack represents, is
the national organization of te med
zeal profession and is carrying on a
systematic campaign for pure food,
pure drugs, better sanitary condi-
lions, better medical college and bet
ter physicians. DR.. McCormack's
talk will be on matters of interest to
every intelligent man and. woman in
the community
The Louisville (KyO Courier
Journal says of him:
To-day the duties of the physician
to the general public are under in
yestigation as never before. His
work must needs be gagged by stern
er criticism than in days past. be-
cause the conscience of the people is
afame insisting upon all work for
the public being performed better
than in the time when everyone was
too blind or too busy to note derelic-
ton from ideal performance. The
legislature, the judiciary, the execu-
tive. all note this aroused interest.
The allied professions feel its in
fluence. AS never before the ply
stefan is alive to his duty to his fell
lowmen. and an evidence of this is
seen in the work of the American
Medical Association, the general body
Of the physicians of America, which
organization has chosen DR.. ]. n.
Mccormack, the secretary of our
State Board of Health, as its repre-
sentative to make to the people
everywhere a fair presentation of the
doctors work. his duties, his. failings
and the support to which he is en-
titled from the laity''

COMPANY
COMES INTO COUNTY
With Big Twelve-Inch Pipe Line
From the Robinson School
House.

The Carnegie Gas Company is pre-
pairing to extend its lines into Har-
rison county. A survey has been
made and the right of way acquired
for twelve-inch line from the Rob
inson school house on Little Binga-
mon in Marion county to Big Indian
run in this county, distance Of FIVE
miles. The compay has lot Of
territory along the route, which it
intends to develop.
The Carnegie Company is one of
the strongest in the country and
pipes much gas. A great quantity
is used in its steel works in Pitts
burg.
The report is current that the
Philadelphia Company of West vir-
ginia has purchased the holdings of
the Fayete County Gas Company in
Harrison and Marion counties. The
latter company has a line in the
Pennington neighborhood, but its
holdings are not large enough to
Justify large pipe line operation.

Live Merchants.

Today in another column the Tele-
gram paragraphs a number of the
busy stores of Clarksburg, and, as
will be seen by reading the column
devoted to them, they are already
busily engaged in the fall trade
They are all hustlers and the stores
here compare favorably with those
of larger cities. In truth, there are
a number of emporiums here and the
needs of every one can be as readily
and satisfactorily supplied at home
as out Of the city. The down right
truth is 1T is better to buy here than
away from home. You see what you
purchase, you get to select what you
want and you absolutely know it is
what it is represented to be.
The habit of going to the big cit
les to do shopping is an expensive
one and in many cases lack of ex-
perience is costly in the end. The
railroad fare and the other cost of
the trip make that sort of shopping
quite expensive and there is nothing
saved, but to the contrary the pur-
chases usually represent a greater
outlay of money than it. bought at
home.
The<mail order business is of such
peril to home industry. when fol-
lowed to any considerable extent.
that the Telegram feels in justice to
the good sense and patriotism and
civic pride of the people of Clarks-
burg that more than a casual allus-
ion to it and its bad effects would
offend the intelligence of our people.
This paper is not disposed to believe
that it can get very strong foothold
among such a thrifty, Industrious
and home-loving people as Clarks-
burg has.

The failure OF the glass plants to
resume operations at the usual sea-
son is keenly disappointing to many
of the business men of Clarksburg.
The glass workers stimulate trade
very much as they are all good livers
and liberal spenders. The suspen-
sion OF operations impresses the bust
ness men that these workers are of
great benefit TO the community and
it dispels the idea a few had that
glass factories were not of much
value to trade. 1t is the hope of the

the differences may be quickly ad-
justed and that an early resumption
of work at the factories will take
