When Mr.. Charles DENLY was min
lister to China a publisher wrote to
him asking him to procure a photo
graph of the Emperor of China. His
reply, printed in a New York ex-
change, shows that the pictures pub
lished as likenesses of the emperor
cannot be trusted. Mr. DENLY wrote
as follows:
1T would afford me great pleasure
to send you photograph Of the en-
peror if one could be procured. After
making inquiries find that his pho
tograph. or portrait Of any kind, has
never been taken"

.DREAMLAND THEATER OPENS

Dreamland theater, the new moving
picture amsement place, under the
management of A. B. Fillmore opened
its doors for the first time on Tues
day evening, and at each of the per-
formances given was crowded to the
ful extent of it's capacity. This,
proves that the public appreciates the
efforts Of Mr.. Fillmore in fixing up
neat and attractive place in which
such performances may be given.
When the new chairs arrive the pub
lie will have still more reason to ap.
preciate Mr.. Fulmore's enterprise
An excellent program was rendered
the opening night and still better
one last night, when the house was
crowded also. Ali the pictures shown
were clean, instructive and entertain
ing, and Mr.. Fillmore states in his an
nouncement that no pictures will
be shown that can offend the most re-
fined taste.

discovered to be the cause of the dim
ness of the pictures last evening. This
has been fixed, however, and now the
pictures shown will cause no one to
strain his eyes.

Rem ON SATURDAY, OCT. 16.

The industrial contest of the children
OF the public schools of Marshall
county will be held at Warren on
Saturday, Oct. 16, under the direction
of County Superintendent L. M. Mi
thun. Let no one, forget the date,
as the contest promises to be a bigger
and better thing than any county fair.
The children have been preparing for
this event all the year, and all chill
dren, teachers, school officers and
parents, who possibly can come to
Warren, will be here that day. War
rem as usual, will extend the glad
hand of welcome to all visitors and
will do everything that can be done
to make their stay pleasant and pro-
fitable. Prominent agriculturists and
educators will be here to Judge the
exhibits and deliver instructive lec-
lures. Parents are especially urged
to- let their children attend this con.
test, as it may be the means of max.
ing them take greater interest in the
work of the farm, be conducive to
better farming, and be a benefit to
themselves as we'll as the entire coun-
ty. Therefore, let the children come,
and also the parents, but first of all
the children, as they are the ones who
can profit most by the contest. Into
their hands the affairs of this county
and state will soon pass as we older
ones fall by the way side, and we all
hope that they may do better than we
have done.

NORTH STAR COLLEGE
NOTES


School is now in full session, and
has been from the very first day. At
the beginning we had three times as
many students as last year at the
beginning. We already have more
students than during the whole fall
term for last year; and still there are
many to hear from who expect to
come in a short time.
81 Almost complete sets of reports
have beeen received from the State
Bureau of Labor, Industries and Com
|merce, Dairy and Food Commission,
State Forestry Department; and be-
IEtdes from most of the other State
departments. '.s=,.,s-s-5- 5's,.=
Bryan's Commoner has been added
to the list of papers found in the
Reading room.
If anyone has spare map of Swed'
en- or Sweden and Norway, we should
be pleased to receive a copy. We
need one for our class in Swedish.
The work has already been outlined
for the classes in Sewing and Cook
ing. The course will be as thoro and
complete as at any Ladies' Seminary
and the time devoted to this course
alone, will be as much as the student
can spare from the other work. Even
now, from the beginning, we Offer
more work in sewing than is given al
the State Agricssas't.aral School at St
Anthony Park There it is given only
twice a week. -
For the Cooking class we expect
to secure individual cooking sets, as
soon as the students advance ia,

thus be much greater interest in the
work; and therefore greater progress
can be made.

come to take up the work in our Do

should feel too old, and few who have
the opportunity, are too young. NJ
one should feel above or feel too
good to take up household work. Tht
fact, too, that the work can be stud
led at school will raise it in the eye<
of those who don't know better, bu
who ought to. Household work i:

The biggest and most comprehen-
sive drainage system ever undertaken
in this state is now we'll under way
in the eastern part of Marshall county
and northwestern Beltrami county. 1t
is Judicial Ditch No. II, with outlets
in Thief River, on Sec. 13 in Excel
and Sec % in East Valley, extending
eastward, draining Mud Lake and
Elm Lake and extending way into Bel
trami county. The main dich will
he 100 miles in length and the later.
ais 800 miles, making the total length
400 miles, and it will drain an area
of 400 square miles, or 256,O00 acres.
Judge Grindeland says he is not in
favor of ditching by piece-meal after
this, because that is like cutting off
dogs tail inch by inch, it hurts every
time, but he wants a comprehensive
system, which when completed will
thoroughly and effectively drain the
territory in which the ditching is
done. In the area drained by this
ditch there will hardly be section
line but will have a lateral ditch, and
every section will be thoroughly
drained. Every ditch will also have
a good road, built from the material
excavated, ditching and road making
oOino hand in hand This ditch will.
therefore reclaim and make produc-
tive an enormous area, on which but
few settlers now exist with difficult
ty, and will therefore add vastly to-
the wealth of the county.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
undertaking may be realized when It
is known that the survey calls for the
removal of about 100000 cubic yards
of dirt at an estimated cost of $500,00.
w. R. Hoag, of Minneapolis, is the
engineer in charge of the survey,
which has already been nearly com
pleted. The viewers, who are now
strenuously at work, are G. o. Cross
of this city, John Simonson of Excel,
and C. E. Haugen of Beltrami county.
County Attorney w. J. Brown has also
put In a great deal of work looking af-
ter the legal requirements, which in
an undertaking of this magnitude are
many and complicated.
