GREAT PROGRESS MADE
on THE WESTERN SLOPE

General Secretary John Orchard Of
the North Dakota Sunday School associa-
tion, who conducted the very successful
convention held here two weeks ago.
has returned to the city and speaks very
enthusiastically about the material and
spiritual advance MADE in the south
western corner. of North Dakota.
Two years ago in October the Chicago.
Milwaukee, & St. Paul railroad sold the
first lots in the town of Hettinger.
The first lot was purchased by the First
National bank on q corner of the main
street for So, 500. Since then a mag
nificent trick building costing $50, 00o
has been completed and in equipment
and finish equals any bank building in
the state.
All the streets are graded and the
town has cement walks and crossings.
Plans have been perfected for drainage
and a waterworks system which will
make the city thoroughly modern and
up-to-date.
The advance made by Hettinger in
two years is typical of the whole south
western part of the state. Every village
is booming and every farmer is pros
porous. They are harvesting a crop
this year which is averaging eighteen
to twenty bushels to the acre of wheat
sixty bushels of oats and eighteen
bushels of flax.
Church work is progressing equally
with the rest. Counties which two OF
three years ago had but one or two Sun
day schools now have from ten to
thirty, all enthusiastic and with an
eagerness to get the best method and
equipment that would make Older
schools hang their heads in shame.
The work done and. expenditures made
in past years by the state association is
coming back in large returns in this
part of the state.
Mr.. Orchard states that it will not be
long before the N. P. and the Milwaukee
railroads will have q network of rail-
roads in the south counties equal to
the network which the Great Northern
and 500 have in the northern tiers.
On his present trip Mr.. Orchard visited
the counties of Stark, Billings, Dunn.
Bowman. Hettineer, Adams, Logan,
Emmons and Mcintosh. He reports
finding splendid corps of teachers and
officers in all the schools of these
counties and a wide awake body of
pastors in the churches in this part of
the state.
Mr.. Orchard will spend the month
of October holding institutes in Sar-
gent. Richland and LaMoure counties.

SUGGESTED BY CHILDREN.
Origin Of the Arsand Lamp and the
Telescope,

Origin Of the Arsand Lamp and the
Telescope.
Some Of our most useful mechanical
appliances owe their existence to the
ingenuity Of children in fashioning
their playthings. Argand, who In
vented a lamp with a wick fitted into
. hollow cylinder, was one day busy
in his workroom. Sitting before the
burning lamp, his little brother was
amusing himself by placing a bottom.
less oil flask over different articles.
Suddenly he placed It upon the flame
Of the lamp, which instantly shot up
the long circular neck Of the flask
with increased brilliancy. Argand did
not allow such a suggestive occur
renee to escape him. The idea Of the
lamp chimney almost Immediately
came into his head, and in q short
time his invention was perfected.
The telescope owes its origin to a
similar occurrence. The children of
a Dutch spectacle maker happened to
be playing one day with some Of their
fathers glasses In front Of the shop
door. Placing two Of the glasses to-
gether, they peeped through them and
were exceedingly astonished to see
the w~eathercock Of the neighboring
steeple brought within a short distance
Of their eyes. They were naturally
puzzled and called their father to sec
the strange. sight. When the spec.
tacle maker looked through the glasses
no was no Jess surprised than the
children had been. He went indoors
and thought the matter over, and then
the idea occurred to him that he might
construct a curious new toy which
would give people a good deal Of
amusement. Not long after the tele-
ScOpe was an Accomplished fact.

New ENGLAND

The best sight in New England since
the arrival of the Milwaukee grading
outfits was the string of teams with
elevator lumber from Reeder which
pulled into town at noon Tuesday. J.E.
Phelan's teams with lumber for the West
ern Lumber & Grain Co. elevator were
first on the ground but were not unloaded
before Albert Leff's teams showed up
with cement and lumber for the Colum
bia elevator. The Columbia Elevator
Co. has already got a force of men at
work on the foundations and the car
penters will be on hand as 0 as
the cement sets. Both firms plan to
have their elevators completed by the
18th of October end it is expected that
they will be able to handle some IS. 600
bushels of grain before the Milwaukee
can take care of the shipments.
Emil Johnson of Rainy Butte finished
threshing Wednesday. His wheat aver
aged 31H bushels to the acre.
Herman B%oettcher's threshing outfit
has pounded out over 20, 600 bushels of
grain this eason and the following
average shows up fine for the farmers
just south of the Cannon Ball Wheat
28 to 80 bushels; macaroni IS bushels /;
oats so bushels: fax from IL to is

Mrs. Emilia Frederick was in Dickin-
son Wednesday to offer proof on her
