$500 Men and Women in Fargo Belong
to Some FraternaI Organization or Society

Fargo mas forty three lodges and
secret societies. 1t is doubtful IL there
is another town In the country that
has as many organizations OF this
kind in proportion to it's population.
There is hardly day passes that
some fraternity does not hold meet
ing. Statistics show that these vari-
GUS lodges have an enrolment OF
S,500-that fully 1000 men and women
OF the city belong to one or more of
these societies.
Elx Presidnt Roosevelt, in one of his
greatest speeches, given on Feb. 4,
1903. said sThe fraternal societies
are. In my opinion, one OF the greatest
powers for good government and the
protection OF the home that we have
in this cuntry'
This is fully borne out in Fargo.
Lodges, with few exceptions teach
q code Of morality. In Fargo there is
not q single organization that does
not urge, II not require. that its mem-
bers practice the principals of truth,
charity, love of justice, fidelity to
country and the principles of human
brotherhood. These teachings, with
out doubt, greatly influence lodge
men in their daily dealings with their
fellows and city is as the majority
Of its citizens good, bad or Indifferent.
Lodgemen are usually proud of their
affiliations. 1t gives them an individ-
uality in their community and GER

tain self-respect necessary to integrity
and honor.
Remarkable Lodge Town.
IN the line OF lodges as in many
other lines, Fargo makes q most re-
marlSable showing. 1t Is a notable
fact that every lodge located here is
prospecting and on the increase both
in point OF numbers and financially.
This may be due to one OF two things
either Fargo is an exceptionally IA
vorable place for fraternal existence
or thar only, the better classes of or
ganizations get footing in the town.
It may be that both these reasons are
responsible
Lodge enrollments are comparative
ly easy to secure, but 1t is almost inn
possible to secureaccurately the hnan-
cial statistics of the local bodies.
However, some idea OF the financial
prosperity Of the Fargo fraternities
may be secured by other facts. The
large number OF people enrolled and
In good standing is an indication; the
large number of recruits that are
added to these rolls each year shows
that a lodge must be in good financial
standing; but, the most rertinent
demonstration are the splendid build
ings erected and being built or con-
templated by the local lodges. These
tell tale Of prosperity that Is worth

MAKE BEET SUGAR
INNORTHERN MONT.
OFFICERS OF ANAL GAMATED
SUGAR co. SELECT SITE FOR
FACTORY AT FORT
BELkNAP.

W1Iliston, N. D.. Aug. 31.-Pres.
David Eubes and officials Of the
Amalgamated Sugar Co. of Ogden,
Utah, arrived at the Fort Belknap
reservation in northern Montana last
week for the purpose Of selecting a
site for the sugar factory which that
company is to build. After spending
several days looking over the reser-
vation and adjacent lands they finally
selected site just off the reservation
across the Milk river at the present
Savoy siding on the main line Of the
Great Northern. The factory was
staked out and construction VIII be-
gin Immediately so as to be ready for
next years best crop.
There is much of interest in the his
tory of the enterprise and its final ac-
complishment means a great deal to
the people OF northern Montana, espe-
cially thczs living in the Milk river
valley and adjacent territory. The
Fort Belknap Indian reservation con-
tains some OF the finest lands in the
northwest, $4,000 acres Of which lie
in the Mix river valley and are under
a complete system of irrigation. All
work on the irrigated system was
done by the Indians under the able
instructions OF Maj. w. Logan, agent
In charge.
In 1906 congress passed a special
act allowing the Indians OF the Fort
Belknap reservation to lease 10000
acres of the irrigated land for sugar
beet culture. Ten thousand acres has
been leased TO the Amalgamated
sugar co. of Ogden, Utah, under an
agreement drawn UP by ex-Secretary
OF the Interior James r. Garfield. I'M
der the term OF this agreement the
sugar company agrees to build fac
tory OF sufficient capacity to handle
all beets grown by the Indians and to
pay the Indians so much per acre for
plowing. cultivating, irrigating. thin
ming, topping, digging and hauling the
beats, and $3.50 per ton for all beets
delivered at the factory. The plan
originated with Major Logan and has
had the careful inspection OF ex-
Secretary Garfield and Indian Com
missioner Leuppo. officials Of the re-
clamation service.
To Solve indian Problem.
1t is believed that the enterprise will
in great measure solve the Indian
problem In the west and that the plan
win eventually be extended to all
other reservations. When the Indian
can be given employment near towns
and In numbers, he makes an efficient
workman. On the BeIknap reserva-
tion this season the Indians have more

done with intelligent supervision. 1t
is the expectation OF the government
officials who have been in charge OF
running the Belinap reservation will
be met from profits of beet growing
and that In addition a pension fund
for the old and disabled Indians.
The sugar factory site is an ideal
one, being on the north bank OF the
beautiful Milk river and Just between
1t and the main line OF the Great
Northern, fifty miles east OF Havre
bridge will connect the reservation and
the factory grounds so that the beets
can be readily hauled and disposed of.
On the north side OF the railway track
and about quarter OF mile from
the factory the townsite OF Savoy, the
Sugar City OF Montana, will be estab-
lished. The townsite, as well as
some 5000 acres of the valley land
adjacent Is owned by the Milk River
company. composed largely OF North
Dakotans. The company was organ
lied by the Williston Land Co. OF will
liston. N. D.. with T. w jackson as
general manager and Senator w. b.
Overman as vice president. The town
site opening will be by auction sale
on or about Oct. 1. In the mean
time active construction will begin on
the sugar factory which win have a
capacity OF 500 tons daily and win
cost when completed Oct. /, 1910, ST.
250,00o. The splendid fruit lands
north Of Savoy have just been thrown
open to 800 acre homestead flings and
many North Dalkotans are locating on
them. They win have opportunity
for employment during the construc-
ticn Of the sugar factory and the town
OF Savoy and next season win be en-
pioyed in the beet fields and factory.
