This lady is native of Idaho and
has always wanted to be reporter.
She is shorthand writer, and the
worst difficulty she has about writing
for publications is that she has to
write 1t out in long hand, and she
loses part of her ideas while doing
the slow writing.
This is the makeup of reporter
for conventions, and If she could just
have stenographer to dictate her
reports to, she could handle an i'm
mense amount of work. There are
openings for just such talent. and
when one is tested and found COM
petent in this line he or she is gen
orally much in demand.
Mrs. Bryan was raised on a farm
and has lived in Idaho, Oregon and
Utah. She lives on her farm near
Payette, and she and Mrs. Stroup
furnish the Payette news for this
paper. She has furnished us with
some very practical reports on fruit
raising and grasps the financial end
OF farm matters as if she compre-
hended both sides of 1t. She Is very

A REPORTER's DELIGHT.

People VINO tnlnk IL is all luu W
be reporter and go to notable gath
erings and conventions all over the
country to cover" them, can get
a glimpse of the practical side OF
such work from the following incl
dent:
w. R. Duvall is bright, middle
aged man who works for The Salt
Lake Tribune and covers things In
Idaho and Nevada in connection with
the development of the country, and
writes much of their descriptive mat
ter such as is commonly spoken Of In
newspaper vernacular as booster
dope"
After Mr.. Duvall had covered
Southern Idaho pretty well in special
articles for The Tribune he was sent
in 1906 to report the meeting of the
| Irrigation Congress at Boise and was
given place at the press table
| where he worked and perspired
through the sessions as. did the others
who were there for such work.
We kept watch of his work for
one day Just to- get correct idea OF
what he did and how he did 1t.
The weather was very warm, and
4 the sessions began at ten in the
morning. Duvall made his appear
ance for breakfast at pretty good
cafe at nine. He chattered and ate,
while he discussed Gooding and the
lAformons. and Dubois and the Cen
tiles. At $3.50 he went out and took
little walk to the convention.
There he sat and wrote running
hand, taking notes and listening. He
iotted down the main points touched
upon by the various speakers, and
i listened carefully while he wrote
page after page slipped on Of the
tablet and went into his stack OF
scopy." When the convention ad-
iourned at noon, Duvall rushed to
J the telegraph ofilce and truned in
little bunch OF matter that ne had
rushed into shape between speakers
or while there was music. Then ne
sat down and wrote the story OF the
mornings proceedings from memory
and from his notes together. While
|hhe was doing this. a dozen lotner
ybreporters for Eastern dailies rushed
n in with handfulls Of matter to pc
hsents BY wire. Dpyall's first INSTALL
msnt had gone before the firsts ones
Iicame, and he continued to write and
hand in copy until It was time Tor
> him to scurry back to the afternoon
T session.
The afternoon was like the fore
noon. and when they adjourned ne
Z ran for the telegraph office again.
Right there he sat and wrote and
handed in his story until time to 60
to the evening session and when i
was over he made the same beat as
before. at 1890 AL M. he finished
his days work and turned away from
the line Of telegraphers and drew 9
: breath Of relief. Just for the mo
ment he was like fisn out Of water
He tipped his hat, lopked' around al

The body of Mrs. Charles Beck

THE MEMORIAL SERVICES
WE'RE LARGELY ATTENDED
g. A. r. and Ladies of Circle, With Company as Escort
Attended Meeting at Methodist Church.-Rev. Dem
niston Delivered Fine Address.

trust that they have received from
the God of battles honors greater
than we can bestow, but that in
memory of them we may come t.
love more dearly the land which
their deeds have freed from slavery's
curse, the land which their heroic
blood has sanctifed. f
To this end we shall try to Justly
estimate the character of the ser
vices of our soldier dead, together
with the character of the men who
rendered it.
Among the emblems worn by
men to signify the orders and socie.
ties to which they belong there is no
golden emblem so honorable, nor
one that can with justice be so
proudly worn, as that little button,
made of bronze, that bears the
legend G. A. R. It tells the story of
struggle, the like of which history
has no previous record and which
we fondly hope the world may never
see again. I have seen that button
in the lapel of the workman's coat
and also proudly worn by the presi-
dent of the United States. Where'er I
see it thrill of gratitude and honor
fills my breast for its wearer, for it
is the insignia of honors bought
with blood and tells story that no
other emblem tells.
1t recalls a war as great and as
momentous and far reaching in result
as any ever waged by civilized people
and it's length considered, the most
costly, the most destructive, the most
murderous and yet, withal, the most
glorious war that time has known.
Some of our young people who think
they have read history do not know
that, and some ingrates have forgot
ten the men who participated in that
struggle.
Does it mean much or little that
we have such soldiery; and that
we have with us still the survivors of
such a war?
To me it means much. But, tho
son of one of the veterans of the
civil war, I confess to you that I
never measurably appreciated their
presence in the nation until I stood
with them upon the battle field of
Gettysburg, amidst the graves of
many of the $4,000 of their conrad
es and foes in arms who, in those
three summer days of 1888, gave up
their lives in deadly contest over
sentiments and principles. Stand.

Mr.. Ingram spoke of the livestock
industry, and urged those farmers
present to engage more extensively
in raising stock for the market. He
called the attention of the crowd
to the advantages that could be
offered in feeding cattle from Mon
tana here in this north country,
instead of on the western plains.
Mr.. WEIGH gave a very fine talk on
the progressiveness of the Minnesota
farmer, and the necessity of making
known to the world that we have
unexcelled resources and desire more
settlers.
A. j. Mcclure gave one of his
good farming talks and dairying
addresses. He advocated dairying
and farming on an advanced diversi-
fed plan, insuring success to the
farmers of Clearwatet county
Mr.. Neil spoke of the methods of
advancing a village or city along
the lines of proper municipal relations
and the bringing of industries into
the.village. His speech was one of the
very, best ever heard here, being
practical and full of meat
Curtis L. Mosher, the secretary Of
the Federation of Commercial Clubs,
spoke on the best methods of adver-
Using the resources of northern
Minnesota, methods that would
result in more settlers and thrifty
farmers. He gave some very practi-
cal suggestions of ways to draw
settlers to the fertile lands of this
section of the state, and his speech
was received with much enthusiasm.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
the party were taken for a drive to
the country in the immediate vicinity
of Bagley, and given an opportunity
to see what was here.
In the evening, the party were
entertained at the club rooms until
the train departed for Bemidji, cards
and a social session passing the
time away very pleasantly.
One of the points of interest that
was visited by the party of speakers,
and which filled them with admira-
ton for this village was the Bagley
creamery. The creamery is an
object of pride to every man, woman
and child residing in Bagley, and
the visiting speakers were very
favorably impressed with the insti-
tuition.
The Bagley creamery was erected
and supplied with equipment at
cost estimated at over $4,000. N.
P. Jensen is the superintendent Of
the creamery, and he states that the
capacity of the plant is 1000 pounds
of butter per day. The creamery
. now receives cream twice a week,
land makes butter twice week, the
product of the plant being shipped
to New York, where good prices are
obtained.

North's Body Buried.

The body Of. Joe North, who was
drowned in Cass Lake a few days
ago, and which was found by Indians,
was brought to Bemidji under the
direction of Deputy Coroner Lair.
The body was buried at the Bel
trami county poor farm yesterday, no
word having been received from
North's alleged relatives.
No trace has yet been received of
the body of Alex. Kittson, who ac-
companied North on his Inflated trip.
