ing boquets of pleasure from every

we begin to be little more "choicy"
about our floral picking and we turn
up our noses at the lowly blossoms.
The joys that once filed us full now
are stale and we see no fun any
where. Everything has become
time-worn and the world has lost
it's newness and shine. 1t is at the
time when pleasure have ceased to
impart pleasure; that the ordinary
man begins to think about duty.
After he has had enough of the
gay life he begins to realize that
there are higher and better things
than this old world can give and he
Settles down." Some men never
settle down. They continue their
frantic search for joy where joy is
not, and never, until their life is at
its end, do they realize how hollow
their efforts have been. 1t is natur-
al and right that the youthful hearts
should sing in its song of gladness
even i'll the high key, but it takes
very weak mind to stay in that stage
all through life. There is good

to grow in all directions uniformly and
does not necessitate the clustering of all
business into one small portion of the
townsite.
Williston was at one time town
consisting of log huts. In the early
days lumber was very high and the bot
tom lands along the Missouri River were
we'll wooded. Settlers-or, rather, the
railroad men, for there were no settlers
in those days-built the few necessary
houses out of cottonwood trees hauled
from the Missouri forests. When the
suit involving the validity of the title to
the townsite was finally settled, BET
ter class of buildings were built, and
from that time to this they have steadily
improved, until today we have splendid
brick buildings furnished with every
modern convenience Williston was
made division point in 1887, when the
Great Northern Railway was first estab.
lished here. 1t was known then as

that its geographical location. alone, at
the meeting of the Great Northern and
the Missouri, promises great distribut-
ing point. The splendid farm lands sur
rounding the city have built it up in a
wonderfully short time, as shown by the
four substantial banks, FIVE extensive
lumber yards, and four newspapers sup
ported. Williston is the county seat OF
Williams County, one of the greatest
in the state, the seat of the United States
land office for the Williston District, and
a division point for the Great Northern,
all important factors in its upbuilding.
The Government also maintains a

Project has just been installed and put

its 10000 acres of irrigated lands, will
eventually enable Williston to rank as

the water is lifted into huge settling

carry the water to the farm lands north

cities destined to grow. This city was
laid out more than fifteen years ago by
the Great Northern Railway Co. At
that time there was suit pending in the
United States courts as to the owner
ship of the land This suit was finally
decided in favor of the Great Northern
Railway Co., and at that time the city
began its wonderful growth. There
have been thirteen additions to the orig
inal townsite, so that the present city
limits cover over 1000 acres. All OF the
additions have been laid out systematic
ally, and the town has thus grown grad
ually in all directions. Main Street ex-
tends from the depot of the Great
Northern Railway nearly due north, and
can be extended any distance that the
growth of Williston may demand.
Broadway is parallel to and four blocks
distant from the Great Northern Rail
way line, and it, too, can be extended
for miles. This gives the city chance

Water never rises higher than its
source A city will not grow larger than
the resources back of it. When one
considers the phenomenal growth of
Williston and knows that the vast re-
sources back of it have hardly COM
menced to be developed, he has no way
of comprehending to what greatness the
city will grow when the broad and fer
tile prairies have been broken tip and
thoroughly titled. Four years ago the
assessed valuation of Williams County
was only one and half million dollars,
large percent of that being railroad
property This year the assessed valu-
alton is over five million dollars, with
but slight increase of railroad prop
erty. Less than ten per cent of the land
in Williams County is cultivated, and
consequently there are only few mod
ern farm houses The room for i'm
provement and increased valuation Of
farm property is unlimited, and there is
reason to think that values will more
than double in a very short time. With
increasing farm Improvements comes in
creased demands for manufactured ar
ticles and other necessaries of life.
There is also an opportunity to more
than double the yield per acre by ap-
plying the best methods of dry farming.

ing from the city will he eliminated.
Probably the greatest advantages will
be felt when the Sugar Factory is
built as it will enable the beet grow
ers under the Project to load their
beets at receiving stations, located
every four miles up the Valley, from
which they will be hauled direct to the
factory lines.
Several wholesale houses have been
waiting for this north and south line
as they intend to establish branches
in Williston as soon as it is cOmplet-
ed. The territory this new road wilS
open is unexcelled in the northwest
and when the irrigated lands are fully
developed will be by far the most pro-
rductive area in North Dakota.
Through these additional railroad
facilities also Williston will become
an excellent milling point as all the,
grain of northwestern Williams coun-
ty and northeastern Montana will be
shipped through the city, when it can
be ''milled in transit
In addition to this construction
work the G. N. will build handsome
new passenger station for the ''City of
Opportunity" during the coming
spring. Chairman James j. Hill per-
sonally promised this much-needed
Improvement in little talk to some
1000 citizens who met him at the sta
tion when passing through several
weeks ago. Work is now under way
on the company's big ice house which
will be used in icing refrigerator
cars. The building is 44O feet long
and 60 feet wide. With all the rail
road work going on next season in
addition to the government projects
in completing the irrigation project
and 5000 foot extension of the river
rivettment work, which will require an
expenditure of 5000, Williston
should be the livliest city in the
northwest.

thought it was too large, but today
proves that those then in charge Of
school affairs had a correct idea of Will

ordinary primary, intermediate and

four years of academic work, consisting
of the usual studies required by the
state high school board, such as four

The largest school and the only conn
plete high school in the northwestern
part of the state west Of Minot is To-
Gated at Williston. This school is
housed in large, well-built brick build
ing which was erected in 1899.
The rapid growth Of the town and the
development Of the surrounding country
have brought about large increase in
our school population, until we now have
five hundred pupils, the school having
doubled its size within the last three
wears. Under the management OF the
board of education, backed up by a
healthy public spirit among our people,
WAYS and means have been found so far
to provide for these educational needs.
The board at present consists of c. c.
Mackenroth, president; E. R. Brownson,
clerk; and Directors N. Bellinger, S.
Boyd, ]. A. Corbett and V. R. Asbury
H. C. Delaney is treasurer.
Last year the walls were decorated
artistically and a number of fine pictures
provided, making ours rank among the
better buildings of the state in giving
children pleasant surroundings. This
year the third floor has been fitted up
to provide more room. A science labora-
tory, commercial room and grade
room, all large and we'll arranged, take
up the last available Space in the old
