Boost for Devils Lake ..:"
Then Watch Her Grou

You are going to read an article
that is significant of the conclusions
you are about to draw. When a little
editor by the name of Allen down in
Kansas wrote an article several years
ago entitled whats the matter with
Kansas" he set the whole state think
ing, he awakened the people as they
had never been awakened before. They
eat up and opened their eyes to the
fact that they had been sleeping like
Rip Van Wrinkle for twenty years they
were inspired with new thought new
ambition and energy entered their
veins and they progressed, until today
they have one of the best states in
the union and the people are prosper
GUS and Industrious For years and
years the state was at standstill but
when this article of the editor spread
throughout the state they awoke and
they have been opening their eyes
wider ever since.
Our article will not be whats the
matter with Devils Lake but will be
given the title There's Nothing the
Matter With Devils Lake" Let every
body boost for Devils Lake. We have
the foundation for a great city. Preach
the gospel of Devils Lake the city that
Is surrounded by the richest agricul-
tural land in the state, where the soil,
productive beyond belief, produces
forty bushels of wheat to the acre and
every one has a home and plenty. In

the other hand the Lord loves cheer
full giver and a cheerful worker and
all that is sense-satisfying is held out
to those who look after their private
interests first and the interests of their
town secondly. So there you are boom
your home town and it is bound to
forge ahead on the two-path of pros
perity
Ancient Troy is myth, Babylon is
memory, Jerusalemn is a picture,
Rome is story, but Devils Lake is
the most progressive and most pros
porous town in this great state of ours
and it is town that never stands still
but serges forward more each year.
Devils Lake is located on one of
the most productive soils that the sun
shines on and it has one of the finest
and healthiest climates in the world.
In Devils Lake and surrounding the
city is gathered together some of the
best blood and brain Of all nations of
the world and each individual man
and woman is broadened by general
education and quickened and inspired
by independence and opportunity. This
is good town, this is a good county
where every one of Gods children has
plenty where the poor have homes and
the rich have bonozas. Boost Devils
Lake.
Go back thousand years and we
find during that period that ancient
Rome was mistress of the world, and
all roads led to that city. Trade fol.
lowed and Rome waxed strong and
vigorous and mighty naughty. Devils
Lake, not unlike mighty Rome in an
Gent days, have all roads leading tc
it. Roads from all directions, even
rom Heaven. Her merchants are wide
awake, progressive and up-to-date and
we have some of the best and most at
tractive stores in the state right here

in this little heaven of ours. This lis
the reason that all roads lead TO
Devils Lake. People come here: to
trade and further efforts should be
made to get more people to do their
trading here. The time is coming when
like ancient Rome Devils Lake will be
the mistress of the state of North
Dakota. The present generation may
not be here to witness it but we may
have the infinite satisfaction of look
ing over the jasper walls of Paradise
at the wonderful Transformation of the
town as we are new predicting. zs
The average citizen scarcely ever
gives the future of his town a thought.
This is something that should be rem
edied. We should look with satisfac-
ton to the fact that the town is on
the gain, that there are continually
new people coming here, that new en-
terprises are starting each year and
that the foundation for a good sized
CITY has been started and we should
add to that foundation by furtherfng
all movements that will be a benefit
to this city. We should look for new
enterprises and manufacturing con
Germs to locate here and should give
all possible encouragement to every
institution and enterprise that have
the thought of locating here and ever
inducement should be made. Have
the interest of the town at heart all
the time. What helps the town helps
eac' individual in it and we should
make vigorous campaign for the next
few years and build up the city, for
the prospects for the continual growth
# Devils Lake are good. Every strang-
er that comes here and leaves telTof
what a wonderful little city this is.

FESTIVAL OF THE DEAD.
Eskimos Provids Food and Clothes For

Returning Ghosts.
The natives of the Yukon river region
hold festival of the dead every year
shortly before Christmas and n greater
festival at intervals of several years.
At these seasons food, drink and
clothes are provided for the returning
ghosts in the clubhouse of the village,
which is Illuminated for the occasion
with oil lamps Every man or woman
who wishes to honor dead friend sets
mp a lamp on stand in front OF the
place which the dead one used to oc-
eupy in the clubhouse. These lamps,
filed with seal oil, are kept burning
day and night until the festival is over.
They are believed to light the shades
on their return to their old home and
back again to the land OF the dead. II
any one fails to put up lamp In the
clubhouse and to keep 1t burning. the
shade whom he or she desires to honor
so would miss the feast. When per-
son has been much disIiked his ghost
Is sometimes purposeiy ignored. and
that Is deemed the severest punishment
that could be inflicted upon him. After
the songs of invitation TO the dead have
been sung the givers OF the feast take
small portion OF food from every dish
and cast it down as an offering to the
shades. Then each pours little wa
ter on the floor so that 1t runs through
the cracks. In this way they believed
the spiritual essence OF all the food and
water Is conveyed TO the souls. With
songs and dances the feast comes to an
end and the ghosts are dismissed to
their own place. The dancers dance.

the graves and on the Ice II the dead
met their deaths by drowning. On the
eve Of the festival the nearest male
