represented.
Mrs. G.. H. FairchiId went as the
soup. over her white duck suit wearing
81 garland of oyster crackers and other
soup garnishes.

a superb headdress of the leaves was
impersonated by Doctor Mcdonald.
Mrs. John H. Bullock, as the entree,
went as a lobster.
The salad. alias Mrs. George Ber-

occasion, and Mrs. A. l.. LOBBY the
dressing, while the cranberry sauce
decorated the person of Miss Bryant.

basket hat covered with fruit, carried
out the mixed fruit idea, and a coffee

MONSTER RFfLFOR
CABLE MADE HERE
Murray Brothers Construct the
Largest Device Used on
Coast for Same Purpose
Electric Travelling Hoist at Mu=
nicipaI Pipe Yard Does
Marvellous Work

The largest cable reel ever made,
perhaps, has just been finished by the
Murray Brothers machine works, Fol-
som and Beale streets, this city. The
axle alone in the reel will weigh a
trife over four tons, the timber in the
reel about two and half tons. and the
two large spool cog wheels. with the
other equipment, viii weigh about five
tons. The wheels are II feet in diam
eter.
The reel is 25 feet long and stands
u feet from the floor TO the top OF the
wheel 1t is now at the Union iron
works. where the workmen have just
hnished winding the cable. $4,000 feet
long, which makes approximately 134
tons weight to be added to the wheel
when it is ready for action. Alto
gether it will weigh f441s tons.
It took "a horses TO draw the reel
without the cable TO the landing, to be
shipped TO the iron works. 1t will be
turned by an engine when ii is ready
TO be reeled off the spool.
TRAVELLING HOIST MADE
That which is most interesting to
people in the electrical World is the
electric travelling hoist that has been
made by the Butte engineering and
electric company of this city for the
municipal pipe yard. The hoist, or
combination travelling crane and hoist,
properly speaking, for il does the work
of both, is used to raise and carry
cast iron pipe for the auxiliary fire
system from freight cars to the test
ing plant in the yard and to stack the
pipe as well on the same trip. 1t is a
revelation TO all who are interested in
electrical hosting efficiency. 1t is the
first of its kind ever designed in San
Francisco. or on this coast It has
never been used in this section, and
has the remarkable efficiency of saw
ing the labor OF 10 men.
WORK OF LOCAL MEN
All the work on the hoist was per-
formed in the shops Of the construc-
tors the Butte engineering and cleo
trical company. The steel columns or
I beams that the hoist runs upon (the
track overhead) were furnished by the
Pacific rolling mill company, the con-
tractors who finished the testing plant
for the city.
The hoist has never been tested TO
its fun capacity. The lowest minimum
il has performed IN a days work of
unloading was 80 car loads of pipe.
which practically amounts 10 1880. 600
pounds. or 60 tons. 1t has lifting
capacity of 1000 pounds at a rate of
lifting from 80 TO so feet per minute,
travelling at rate of $50 feet per
minute, or equal to one OF the fastest
elevators in the city.
Besides the lifting and travelling ca
pacity, the hoist is designed to carry
the operator on the cage with con-
trolling apparatus IN same, so as TO
provide the operator with complete
control over all motions. IT has the
advantages of an elevator running on
a parallel with safety brakes and limit
switches. Ii is bound to revolutionize
hosting, especially for light work

A Business Parable.

Trafford City News: Once a
farmer had 1900 bushels of
wheat, which he sold. not to a
single grain merchant but to
300 different dealers, a bushel
each. A few of them paid in
cash, but far the greater num-
Der said it was not convenient
then; they would pay later. A
few months passed, and the
mans bank account ran low.
How is this?" he said. MY
1900 bushels of grain should
have kept me in affluence until
another crop is raised, but |
have parted with the grain and
have instead only vast num-
ber of accounts so small and
scattered that | cannot get
around and collect fast enough
to pay expenses. So he post
ed up a public notice and ask
ed all those who owed him to
pay quickly. But few came.
The rest said, Mine is only a
small matter, and | will go and
pay some of these days." for
getting all that, though each
amount was very small, when
all were put together they
meant a large sum to the man.
Things went on thus. The
man got to feeling 50 bad that
he fell out of bed and awoke,
and, running to his granary,
found his 1900 bushels of
wheat still safe there. He had
only been dreaming. Moral. -

Clarence Hale has many

who will read the following
from the Minot Independent
with interest:
Clarence A. Hale of Grand
Fl rks, former state game war

the interests of the Remington
Arms company with which he
is connected. Mr.. Hale is a
prominent Mason, being a past
eminent grand commander OF

mandery Monday night.
Mr.. Hale is an interesting g
citizen. He has a beautiful
home in Grand Forks, much OF

by himself. For instance he
finished up his own dining
room, doing it at odd times,
and it required seven years be-

Must Not Frequent Pool Rooms.

A law passed by the recent
session of the Legislature was
the one forbidding any person
under the age of eighteen from
frequenting any billiard hall
or pool room and playing any
of the games or card games
usually played in such places.
This applies to all under eigh-
teen as we'll as to those who
are attending the high school.
The previous law simply pro-
hibited high school students
but the new law takes in all
under the age of eighteen.
The fine upon conviction is

ASCENSION SERVICES HELD
Rev. D. S. Scadeng Preached 10 Knights
Templar Sunday Afternoon.

Lorraine commandery of
Knights Templar observed AS
cension Sunday, by attending
the Methodist Episcopal church
at 3: 90 o'clock p. m. where the
ritualistic service was given
and a sermon delivered by Rev.
ID. Stratford Scadeng.
Rev. Scadeng's sermon was
one of the best ever heard in
Bottineau and it is to be re-
GREETED that more people did
hear it. The impression OBJ
tanned, however, that the ser
vices were not of a public
nature and many who would
otherwise have attended re-
mained away on that account.
We shall publish Rev. Sea-
deng's sermon in next week s
Courant, being unable to get it
into type for this issue.
Special music was furnished
by quartet composed of Rev.
