No Hard Times Here

Different parties returning from
visits further east this winter, have
told us that the people Of North Dako.
ia, and especially of this portion OF
North Dakota, do not know the mean
ing Of hard times. Mr.. Toner, who re-
turned last week from a visit TO his
home in southern Minnesota, stated to
US that the people 5of that locality
were in great deal worse circumstan
ces than the people here, and that
comparatively, we were enjoying the
best Of times. Jos. Fahrnkopf, who
Just returned yesterday from d visit to
his b laE$l home N Michigan, ana who also
visited at Chicago, tells :.us that In
Chicago he saw thousands os men

for work, and there seemed to be an
air of hard times nearly every place
he went. Another gentleman, living
near Souris, and who has been at
Chicago and other eastern points, told
us this morning of similar conditions
to those above described, and when
we consider these things, we may weIi
congratulate ourselves that we are
living in Dakota, the state of No. /

where the real genuine hard times

tent that it does the people in the
more thickly settled districts of the
eastern states, where so many people
live high while they are enjoying
prosperity, and do not lay by any spare
funds for rainy day. North Dakota
is indeed the banner state of the
Union. You say so, we say SO, every
body says so.-Pierce County Tribune.

of miscellaneous articles Of tinware,

The remainder of the evening was
then given over to 1.-THE Romance

GORDER TO MINOT
Major Went to Mlnot Monday to Pre-.
sent Plans for improvements

Major Paul Gorder, engineering ex-
pert of the North Dakota National
Guard, went to Minot Monday after
noon, to be present at the annual
meeting of the National Guard Asso-
citation which was held at that city
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The improvement of the camp and the
rifle range at the camp grounds south
of the city were thoroughly discussed
Major Gorder has signifed his in
tention of proposing the building of
conduits connected with each range,
that is, the 100, the 200, 500, 1000
yard, ETC., the wires on such condults
to be connected with a telephone and
a push button. This method would do
away with the now unhandy one of
telephoning to the butts each time a
target was shot at, notifying the at
tendants in the butts as to the target,
This old system causes too much
confusion, and it is the earnest recon-
mendation of Major Gorder that it be
changed
The military grounds will be lb-
-stantially improved this year. The
earth filling at the Butts will be in
creased and the range will be leveled
Aitkin targets will be installed. These
targets are the latest accepted ones
for target range use. They are com
posed entirely of steel, excepting the
exposed parts, which are of wood and
canvass. They are set in solid
foundation of concrete. The military
grounds are valued at s50,0oo and are
said to be as fine as any in the north.

Major GOrder is in favor of organic

headquarters at Devils Lake. If the
corps had headquarters in any other

The Tettrakappa Literary Society
met last week for it's first meeting.

following officers elected: President,
Arthur Mclean: vice-president David
Shelver; secretary, Dan Daeley; treas
urer, Frank Palmer; program COM
mittee, Oscar Barson, Raymond
Holmes, and Howard Mckee. The
meetings will be held weekly.
The evening school is in full swing.
Glasses have been formed in English,
penmanship, spelling, stenography,
typewriting, bookkeeping, commercial
arithmetic, algebra and mechanical
drawing. The good will with which
the evening pupils attack the work
suggests the correctness of Socrates's
idea that young people should be put
to work and that men should go to
school. The seriousness of the effort
to make the evening school success
is evidenced by the fact that mem

is desirable that all who wish to join
classes in the evening school shall en-
roll at once, for the work is well un-
der way already, and pupils cannot
get start in any of the classes unless
they begin at once.
Bonds were voted last Monday for
the completion of the new ward
school. When completed the building
will be perfect in its light, heat and
ventilation. Six of the eight rooms
will have north light. The exterior
of the building will be beautiful in it's
proportions and lines, rather than in
extravagant decoration The best,
substantial materials will be used, but
no expenditure will be made for mere
