The good roads meeting on Satur-
day was well attended, but not as
well as it should have been. There
should have been more of the road
officials of the county there, for
those who attended expressed them
selves as much pleased with what they
learned. Geo. W. Cooley, secretary
and engineer of the State Highway
Commission addressed the meeting.
tie explained the road laws of the
state with especial reference to the
subject of state aid, and the system of
road supervision now provided for,
the commission having general super
vision for the state, the superintend-
dent of highways for the counties and
the road inspectors for the towns. OF
the practical work of making roads,
he spoke at length, and made many
valuable suggestions. He regarded
proper drainage as the first require
ment for good road. He especially
urged that no sods be used in making
a road, and that road be repaired
with the same kind of dirt of which it
was built, in order that it would have
a wearing surface of uniform hard
ness. In regard to road maintenance
he urged constant supervision and
the continued use of the road drag
just after each rain. He has devised
a modification of the log drag which
will pass over the wet holes in the
road and not dig them out as the ord
mary road drag is apt to do, and this
drag he offers to furnish free to any
town that will use it.

The concert given by Miss Clara
Bohnsack, pianiste, and Miss Mildred
Romsdahl, soprano, of the Fargo
Conservatory of Music, on Thursday
evening under the auspices of the
Norwegian Free church was well at
tended and gave excellent satisfaction.
The audience were liberal in their ap-
plause for both of these talented
young ladies. The program was made
up of classical selections, which are
not supposed to be of interest to the
ordinary audience, but the reception
given them speaks well for the taste
of the audience, and the excellence of
Miss Bohnsack's playing and Miss
Romsdahl's singing.

PREPARATORY TO
FILLING UP CANAL

Preparatory to the work Of filling
up the canal and of reclaiming the
area of land embraced the authorities
at the hospital for the insane have cut
down the long row of willow trees
growing along the tow path between
the hospital entrance and the gas
house. tEt
The trees have been cut up into
cord wood, which Is neatly piled up
on the ground, while the stumps have
been extracted and rolled over into the
bed of the old canal as contribution
toward the filling up of the same.
The eye misses the long'row of will
lows that has graced the spot for so
many years, but the obliteration of
the canal, which is now assured made
their removal necessary, If the ground
reclaimed is to be reduced to anything
like good state of cultivation.
Already the deep holes caused by
the extraction of the stumps have been
filed up with earth. The wood will
next be hauled away and doubtless
long before the canal is leveled ovel
the last trace of the willows will have
disappeared.

ENGAGEMENT
BRACELETS

The newest Partisan fad is the be-
trothal bracelet. 1t Is not worn on the
wrist, but on the upper arm, the left
arm, as nearest the heart.
The fashion is said to have been in
troduced by Princess Marie Bonaparte,
who received from Prince George of
Greece instead of the traditional ring
a double band of gold made to fit about
her arm close up to the shoulder.
The two broad rings of which the
ornament consists were chased with
IN antique design and studded with
diamonds and sapphires and had a
clasp of diamonds.
The engagement bracelet Is made in
many forms, however, sometimes with
bangles of gems and sometimes with
little chains of pearls looped from it.
Often 1t is perfectly plain save for a
single fine diamond or small star Of
brilliants.
The bracelet must not take any fan
ciful form, such as serpentine, rope or
openwork effects. Its significance Is
in the double band, which is supposed
to typify the union of the couple.

/ One of the principal subjects discus

temple in Philadelphia. Grand Master
Hart has sent q letter 20 lodges, in
/ which he says some plan must be adj
/ opted in order to save the temple He
states thar some decision mast be
7 reached, so that representatives now
preparing to attend the Grand lodge
/ be instructed Tor or against the plan
suggested.
The Odd Fellows temple is ten.
story fire-proof building,at Broad and
Cherry streets, Philadelphia, and con-
tains the executive offices of the Grand
lodge, together with large auditor
ium containing a pipe organ, degree
rooms, nineteen lodge rooms and over
ninety offices.
It was built by the Odd Fellows
Hall association, OF the city of Phila-
delphia, in order to have all city lodges
meet under one roof, but the mem ber-
ship objected to going miles to lodge
meeting, hence many dropped out of
the order. The association, however,
has been unable to keep the building
on paying basis, and now asks the
order throughout the State to take it
off its hands, and the question has been
a serious one for Odd Fellows.
The total Indebtedness on the build
ing is over 81, 800, coo. The Grand
lodge Of the state secured admission
to the Odd Fellows Hall association
of Philadelphia by taking out l04
shares, this being done to make the
temple monument to the order for
ever. Many lodges and enoampments
throughout the state invested their
funds in bonds of the temple
