HILL AND THE NORTHWEST

HILL AND THE NORTHWEST
1t is interesting to note that at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
there will be an heroic statue OF
james,. Hill, designed and modelled
by a leading sculptor and calling to
the attention of many visitors the
thought of the railroad builder and
home maker who has done much to
develop the northwest. 1t is entire
ly fitting that such a statue should
be displayed for no one man has con-
tributed more to the development Of
this great northwestern country than
Mr.. Hill. Practically alone, he plan
ned and financed a transcontinental
.oad from st. Paul to the Pacific
coast. One of the incidents of this
railroad building was the settlement
and deyelopment~of the northern
part Of this state, since when a
means Of transportation was sup
piled for the produce d fthe fields To-
market. the fields become titled and
profitable Every time a new rail
was laid. it meant opportunity for adj
ditional settlers to come out upon
the broad prairies and wrest q lvi-
ing from the soil, and how necessary
railroad building is to the develop
ment of agriculture is evidenced by
the rapidity Of settlement and devel-
opments following upon railroad con-
struction.F S%
Not alone has Hill been active In
railroad building In the last, few:
years he has been consistent advo-3
cate Of better and closer farming,
He believes that better farming will.
increase the yield of wheat or other.
grain Per acre, and that this is q
better study for t1e farmer than
how to increase the normal price Of
grain. We are inclined to agree with
him. He has been a pioneer in bet--
ter agriculture as he has been in
railroad building. -,
In the construction of q great rail-
road systemy In the management of
great affairs, in the inevitable con-
dicts that at times arise between the
railroad and the people it serves,
Mr.. Hill has had his share Of blame
as we'll as praise, But this has been
an incident merely. No man could
have done the same work and have
escaped public criticism. His work,
however, has made for progress and
development. 1t has made for the
wealth and prosperity o fthe north
west. 1t has made for attracting set
tiers to the northwest instead OF the
south and the southwest.
Probably the different policy that
has Of late years been adopted by
railroad men and financiers has had
something to do with the better un-
derstanding that has come to exist
between the railroads and the peo-
pie. The operations Of railroads have
been conducted more, in the open
and with less secrecy. The officials
OF railroads have been willing to talk
to the people ftheir plans and OBJ
Jects. In the legislatures there has
come about a better plan of favoring
or opposing legislation, through op-
EN- addresses to- legislative bodies and
committees, setting forth where and
Why the railroads and the people
SHOULD work In harmony. All Of these
changes from the old time policies
have made for better conditions, and
have brought about, too, a better
understanding Of the men who have
been ut the; head Of the great rail-

A Quaint Cookbook.
Amid the horrors of the siege Of
Paris In 1871 one Cadol found time to
issue q book of recipes for the prepara-
ton of the strange fare to which the
city was reduced. "Our stomachs are
turned into natural history museums,
he wrote. but we must make the best
Of circumstances and render our food
as palatable as we can" So house
wives were instructed how to disguise
the desh Of dogs. horses, asses. rats
and mice and were shown that, despite
the old adage. one can make an omelet
without breaking eggs. The recipe
for IN eggIess omelet was a. follows:
SOAK an army biscuit in stlgared wa
ter favored with orange dover. chop
finely and spread on hot dish. pow
der well with sugar and then pour over
and set light to liberal helping Of
rum" With eggs at - 4 dozen and

price. this palatable imitation Of an
''omelette an rhum" became most
popular dish. .z5s,.... -.ls ..s

Halloween Parties
Plus Ultra Club Party.

Mrs. Z. w. Ste FL entertained the
OF the Plus Ultra club oil
the high school at halloween party
at her home, Friday evening. About
$3.50 the guests proceeded to the
home where they we're met by ghosts
large and small to welcome them.
One ghost, standing upon the walk
silently directed the ladies around
the darkened house to a ladder
leading up to a window ON the first
floor, through which they were TO
enter, while the gentlemen were con-
Quoted up a laddr, leading over the
porch to a second-story window. UP
on entering they we're given sealed
walnuts containing riddles, the an
swers to which claimed their part
ners for the evening.
The parlors we're very tastful and
unique in their decorations of ever
greens and cat-tais upon the walls
autumn leaves tLickly strewn upon
the floor, and jack-o-lanterns shading
amps and lighting all corners, and
great pine knots and small logs for
seats.
All of the guests came Masked
most of them as ghosts, and the fes-
tival of the spirits in the woods
seemed fairly to have come true. A
prize of a beautiful stickpin had
oeen offered for the best sustained
character of the evening. Mrs. Ivan
noe and Miss Boutwell, had been ap'
pointed judges, but they submitted
he decision to popular vote which
| esulted in favor of Mrs. Ivanhoe
| who represented Carrie Nation, Du'
she very graciously declined in favor
of Miss Julia Marvin, the next in
order of vote.
The old-time entertainment was
splendidly carried out in the refresh
ments also, the hostess surprising
the guests by a great k of swee
cider, a large jar of delicious dough
nuts, baskets of apples and tubs o.
popcorn.
AS midnight drew near the light'
went out and ghost stories were
told by the light from the crate
Promptly at IL o'clock the guests de
parted, thanking the hostess for tn
most enjoyable time of the season.

The Kings Business

The evangelistic meetings have
been characterized within the past
week by a deepening of conviction,
The sermons have been unusually
forceful and convincing. The appeals
have been manly and direct. The
hearer can not escape the truth.
Last Sunday was a day of blessing
and great Joy. Many young people
surrendered to Christ.
Though it has been stormy the at
tendance has not diminished, nor the
interest decreased. People are think
ing seriously. Decisions are being
made. The Spirit of God is operating
nightly convincing of righteousness
and judgment to come. Six cottage
prayer meetings were held on Tues
day morning and a like number will
be held on Thursday morning at
10 o'clock.
The afternoon meetings are of un-
usual value to Christians. Each sue
ceeding meeting seems to be the best
of all. Tuesday afternoon the stores
closed for the afternoon service and
grand, uplifting service it was.
We hope the stores will continue
to close at this hour; many will re-
ceive lasting benefit. 1t also shows
Difference for the Lords work in
this campaign that will leave its i'm
press for good.
The sermons and Bible instruction
we are receiving will uplift the en-
tire community and make more de-
voted christians and useful citizens.
The town and people of Enterprise
have never had a privilege on this
order to enjoy equal to this we now
possess. Everyone should embrace
the opportunity. Some will not rea-
lie what they have missed till too
late and the privilege has passed.
