He Saw at Kilauea

Mr.. c. L. La Rue of Sacramento,
California, who has travelled extern
sively around the world, returned from
Hawaii by the S. s. Mauna Loa Tues
day of this week; in an interview he
said:
Yes, I have just been to the vol
cano: was it worth while? Well!
/ should think so; it was worth
going around the world to see; /
would not have missed 1t for any
consideration; it is a spectacular
performance which cannot be de-
scribed: it is so awfully fascina-
ting that one can hardly leave it;
If my business would have per-
rnitted, 1 would have remained
ethere a week. The wonder to me
( is that your Honolulu people do
not make more of it; they can't
realize the extent of the present
activity: 1 understand that hum
dreds went up to see the flow Of
1907. and that it was not a bit
more attractive than Kilauea is
at the present time.
Everybody returns from the vol
cano with the same enthusiasm and
vet Honolulu has not awakened to the
tact that a great eruption is taking
place within twenty-four hours travel
Of her gates.

ST0CKWE|LL in CITY
SPEAKS TO MEETING OF DIRECTORS ON CONDITIONS
IN SCHOOL BUILDINGS COMMEND WORK OF
SUPERINTENDENT, MRS. IATEM

Among the many notable things
accomplished by State Superin-
tendent, w. L. Stockwell, the Or
ganization of directors meeting is
preeminent. These meetings he
attends in person to talk with the
directors in regard to the welfare
of the schools and to interest them
in the best school ideals Such q
meeting was held at the court
house in Williston December 4,
1908. Twenty-seven directors
from all parts of the county were
present, as well as the entire
teachers corps from the Williston
schools and a number of the towns
people. Superintendent Stockwell
took occasion to commend the eff
cient work of our county superin-
tendent, Mrs. Tatem. He assured
the officers that he would do his
utmost to prevail on the Legisla-
ture to grant state aid to rural
schools that have met certain re-
quirements. =
Mr.. Stockwell is an earnest,
forceful speaker and we may we'll
be proud of him. He said in
part: The school boards are the
most important factors in our ed
ucational system because they
control the financial side Of it and
if school funds are not wisely ad-
ministered, teachers and pupils
cannot secure results.
The rural schools have not kept
up with the general progress and
there is no reason why they should
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1908-12-10

not. The people are moving
away from the farms to secure
better educational facilities for
their children, and the results are
detrimental to the country at
large. The solution of the ques-
ton of rural life is the rural
school, with the telephone, mail
delivery, and good roads the iso-
lation of farm life is obliterated.
Giye the farm communities equal
VI ,aacational advantages with the
village or town and this migra-
tion will cease. The rural schools
should have better environments.
The buildings should be whole
some and beautiful from the
standpoint of architecture. They
should be lighted properly-from
one side and the rear or from one
side alone, and the light should
strike over the left shoulder. De-
,fective eyesight amongst school
children is on the increase.
There should be close drinking
tanks and every child should be
provided with drinking cups.
Make the school room attractive
by putting up suitable pictures. =
To secure good teachers: Give
long consecutive terms of eight OF
nine months, preferably winter
terms, fair wages, suitable living
quarters and select your teachers
early.''

Manual-Smith Heating Co., Min
neapolis, gave an excellent talk or

business for him off and on dur
ing this entire period. Mr.. Coop
er will remain in the city and take
charge of the business. He ex-
poets Mrs. Cooper to arrive with
in a few days.
w. S. Davidson, who will occu-
py the position of cashier, needs
no introduction to the citizens of
Williams county, he having
been connected with the bank for
the past year. He is an excellent
banker and has made many friends
since coming to the city.
H. G. Delaney, the retiring
president of the bank, has been in
business in Williston for a good
many years and has assisted in no
small way in making Williston the
enterprising and up-to-date city
that she is today. Several years
ago he put in a telephone system
which, under his able manage
ment, has grown to be one of the
best in the state. He not only
built up a good exchange in this
city but constructed several rural
systems until today Williams
county is far ahead of many east
ern counties IN the way of tele-
phone service. Mr.. Delaney has
disposed.of his bank and telephone
interests in this city but still owns
banks at Mondak, Culbertson and
Fairview, Montana.
He states that he will continue
to make Williston his home for
some time to come.
Miss Bertha Maloy, who has so
ably filled the position of cashier
in this bank for a good many
years, will leave in a short time
on an extended visit with friends
in the east. When she returns to
this part of the country she will
probably take an important posi-
tion in one of Mr.. DeLaney's
banks.

Friday, December 4th, we gave
our first indoor concert of the sea-
son. We feel that it was a sue
cess musically and financially.
During the time it took to rem
der the program, you listened to
selections that we have been
working hard on for months.
Every program that we prepare
makes us better fitted and more
able to give you q higher grade Of
music the next time. It is our
aim to do our best, for it pleases
us to please you, and to know
that our Band is among the best in
the state.
We have great plans for this
seasons work, but the financial
part of it has set US back so that
it will be difficult for our ideas to
be carried out.
To begin with, we are $500. 90
behind with Prof. Onstad's salary,
where we should be 500. 90
ahead.
Our main idea was to get up :

meets there on the tenth. Mr..
Bruegger deserves considerable
credit for making this trip at this
time. He was particularly busy
in his store and wanted some one
else to make the trip but as they
were not Forthcoming he decided
to 60 rather than have Williston

his own expenses and loses his

The largest business deal in the
history of the city was closed
Tuesday when H. G. Delaney
sold his entire interest in the Citi-
zens National Bank to NJ. G. Nc
Cartney of Oaks, James H. Coop

Streeter. It was cash deal and
Mr.. Delaney received $4,000 for
his interests. This sale necessi-

thing like 100000.
Mr.. Mccartney, Mr.. Cooper
and j. j. Delaney arrived in the
city Saturday night and after
checking over the bank business
for three days found everything
in excellent shape. They have
had their eyes on Williston for
some time and when they had the
chance of buying out Mr.. Della
ney they did not hesitate to close
the deal.
q. H. 90. Mccartney is the business
partner of Tom Marshall and is at

business together for the past
twenty years.
James H. Cooper who will be
the vice president OF the bank, is
from Courtney, N. D. He was

CHAS. PELTIER GETS C0MMU-
TATl0N.

Bismarck, N. D, Dec. AFTER
nearly 10 years of effort to obtain
pardon for Joseph Till, of Penn
bina county, those who are urging
the pardon were again disappoint-
ed today when the state board OF
pardons refused to grant the par
don asked for. No formal vote
was taken on the application but
at least one probably two members
of the board would have been
against it. Till was sentenced to
life imprisonment in Pembina
county 13 years ago for the mur-
der of Adam Miller, relative.
There has been q continued effort
to obtain a pardon for the past
seven or eight years, in which the
Hungarian government has joined
but to no effect.
The state board commuted the
death sentence of Charles Peltier,
a half breed, to life Imprisonment.
Peltier was convicted of compile
ity in the murder of an old man
and his niece at Somber, in Botti-
neau county. The sentence was
commuted solely on the ground of

Pure Clothes Measure Next.
Washington, Dec. Patterned
after the pure food laws, a bill
was introduced in the house today
by Representative Hull of Iowa
making it q ;sdemeanor to man

initiated articles of commerce, un-
less such articles are branded 50
as to show their exact ingredients.
The measure is broad in its scope
and would apply to any article of
commerce recognized as the sub
ject of transportation and sale by
the rules of the interstate COM
merce act. Practically all the ar
ticles in domestic use would be
affected, including clothing, furni-
ture or any article sold under a
name now recognized as designat-
ing any mineral, metallic, animal
or vegetable substance which oc-

ments should be the property of
the Band, for they are of little or
no use 20 person outside of such
an organization, and we need
them for the old members often
leave and new ones keep joining
us.
The Band has many friends and
few enemies. We have every
one of you sized up, SO to speak,
ky the way you have helped in
the past. Some do not want to
help where they do not get any
returns for the money invested;
others would help if we had a
cheaper leader, they could then
expect cheaper music and poorer
Band. Others do not help be-
cause they would rather have a
dollar or two more in their pock-
cts than to have Band at all.
If our Band could be made a
business proposition in order to
help push our concerts this winter
maybe. we could catch up and
make our desired Improvements.
If we could only 60 ahead now
and do something before the win
ter is gone; if this worry was ia
ken from US, how much better it
would be. As it is, we feel as if
we are forcing this Band upon you
when you do not want one.

Washington, ID. c., Dec THE
Sixtieth congress assembled for
its final session today, the opening
being attended by formalities and
scenes varying little from similar
occasions in the past. The first
day of a session never develops
much of interest to those used to
attending sessions of Congress,
but on other days seems to possess
greater charm for the average cit
izen. The opening day proved no
exception to the rule.
The crowds came early and long
before the noon hour the galleries
of both the Senate and the House
were filled. The presence of an
unusual number of visitors from
out of town resulted in a great de-
mand for tickets. In the galleries
were many gayly dressed women,
whose presence added much to
the brilliance of the scene. Mem
bers of the diplomatic corps and
many other notables also were in
attendance.
Senators and representatives
were early on hand and in the
corridors and on the floor of both
chambers there was much good
natured bantering among the vic
tors and the vanquished in the No
vember election.
The opening of the session in
the Senate was without incident.
The appearance of Vice President
Fairbanks was the signal for a
hearty round of applause from
both members and the gallery.
Immediately following the prayer
of the chaplin, DR.. Edward Ever
EFT Hale, the roll was called by
states, Albert B. Cummins, the
successor of the late Senator Ali
son of Iowa, was applauded when
the oath was taken.
The opening Of the session in
the House was attended by scenes
of greater activity than those

FOR AFTERNOON WEAR.
Decree of Fashion That Meets with
General Favor.

Another velvet season for afternoon
wear meets with favor, as it GUS
tomarily has done, for what it more
fit and becoming? Velvets this season
are particularly rich, and varied in the
figured output as never before, while
those that are especially made for
trimming are of remarkable design
and brilliancy of color. Two-piece cos
tunes are to be the mode, skirts and
coats, the latter in length to depend
on tho wearer's figure as naturally it
goes without saying that petite women
cannot wear the long Louis XIV. coats,
their skirts being 90 limited in length
to make them becoming. All that is
settled by the best makers and there
is no lack of smart short models that
are of correct proportions. Velveteens
of the best English make-ribbed and
plain, II strictly tailor made-are ex-
ceedlngly admired and cut to advan-
tage for those who go afoot oftener
than they drive. Short bands, with
buckle or button ornaments, of ribbed
silk or satin on the bias, put on here
and there in various simple ways upon
the lower part of skirt make up one
of the favorite ways of trimming

pays for the hours spent. 1t might be
imagined that superabundance OF
the same style of needle-work might
become monotonous, but such variety
of materials, color, and designs are at
hand that the charge does not hold
true
AS to materials, there are coarse
woven linens and cottons, suitable for
curtains, bed spreads and cushions;
also there are the bucks and import
ed linens for towels and table-things.
The shops now show many shades of
the embroidery cottons, some of ex-
quisite tints; and the needle-woman
who first fzds inspiration in the cross
stitch book of the shops soon learns
to do her own designing, and thereby
makes her work Individual
Although the delicate tints of the
cottons are the most fascinating, still
the various deep reds and blues are,
after all, more quaint, particularly
when done on the homespun linens
and heavy canvases. The blue-red
color scheme gives just the old-fash-
Toned touch desired, and we know
the colors will live to see their TWEEN
tieth birthday.
In making the design, carefully rule
sheet of paper into tiny squares,
just as the cross-stitch book Is ruled
1t is well to make the squares of the
same size as the squares in the book,
so that the size of the design may
more easily be estimated, then draw
in the flowers, monogram, or what
ever design is desired and fill in with
the cross-stitch.
The canvas known as railroad is
the kind most used. For general use,
a canvas of average weave and num-
Der rs cotton are used.
That the design should be rather
conVentionalized one will be evident
even to the most inexperienced needle
worker Almost any formalized flower
form will serve as a motive. Mono
grams and old English lettering of
texts are easily copied from the little
books of cross-stitch patterns. Such
simple geometric borders as are need
ed are not difficult to contriye.
