The N. P. Extension.

.Rumors are quite cur rent of the ex-
tension of the Northern Pacific west
from Oakes. The present plan is to
run northwest from Oakes striking into
'LaMoure county somewhere in, the
vicinity of Cottonwood Lake, run to
Edgeley, from there to Burnstad, run
ming about three miles north of Kuhn,
then west toward Fort Yates, and join
ing its main line at Forsythe, Montana.
The other day prominent Edgeley
man stated that city was due to get
the shops. This was figured from the
amount of land that is being purchased
by the road tributary to that city. It
might be said too that the Northern
Pacific has quite strip of land abut-
ing Oakes on the north and it is fgur ed
here that Oakes is not only gong to get
the shops but is to continue as division
point. It would be we'll for the Com
mercial Club to investigate the propo-
sition.
A plan that would suit Oakes better
would be to cut across to Glendale,
strike the Coteaus southwest of Forbes
and from there to Eureka and west.
It would be through better country,
and would strike into the center of the
big reservation that has just been
opened to settlement. Oakes and
Ellendale could both work to that end
with advantages for each.

EDITORS OF STATE
HAVE BIG time
Business Session Was Helpful
and the Social End Was
Not Forgotten.
Editor Burgster Of Jamestown
is New President--Wiu Next
Meet at Williston.

The North Dakota Press Association
had splendid meeting at Fargo last
Friday. It was as representative a
gathering of newspaper men as we
have seen in the state in many years.
1t was meeting where not only much
helpful advice was gained, but one
where good fellowship and harmony
reigned supreme.
The meeting was called to order at
ten o'clock in the Commercial Club
rooms, and from that until after five,
with the exception of brief intermis :
sion at 1890. the day was crowded with
business. The papers read brought out
interesting discussions. The papers by
A. M. Baker and S. C. Theis along ad-
vertising lines were helpful, and the
one by c. A. Jordan of Cogswell on
County Organization" /" had the right
ring.
The Fourth District Press Association
had the credit of being the foremost in
the district associations of the state.
Itwas there with full representation.
It's president, R. v. Fyles, of Minor,
made a report showing what had been
done at the Wahpeton meeting, and that
we had the only organization that COM
piled with the constitution and bylaws
as amended at the meeting of last win
ter.

work came in for good share of dis
cussion. It showed that the only
proper way of computing was to figure

Mrs. Tuthill Entertains.

On Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Geo.
A. Tuthill gave one Of those novel and
interesting parties for which Oakes
hostess are well known.
It was a ''500' excursion to the
North Pole. Forty -one invitations were
sent out to local lady explorers and
nearly all reported and bought tickets
which read for passage oyer six divi-
sions of the .Oakes and North Pole
Aerial Railway; Oskes to Quebec; Que
bee to Main, Labrador; Main to Litch-
enfels, Greenland; Litchenfels to Camp
Peary; Camp Peary to Camp Cook;
Camp Cook to North Pole. The differ
ent tables represented different cars
that carried the explorers over the
various divisions of the route, that is
some of them were conveyed il they
did not get ''cold feet" and wait for
the next car.
Mrs. w. A. McCulley was conductress
and punched the tickets (and possibly
took up few cash fares) which were
printed in full railroad formality.
It was merry race over the fatlgu-
ing obstacles of five ON hearts and six
on diamonds.
Mrs. DR.. M. E. Gale was the first to
claim to have reached 80 degrees north
and was paid for her service to science
with spacious volume, 'The North
Pole," filled with candy, presumably
gum drops. Later she will be required
to submit her proofs to Copenhagen.
Mrs. John Plummer proved to be the
DR.. Cook Of the party and could not
show she had been more than "two
sleeps" out Of Greenland and her only
compensation was an Esky child on a
sled enveloped in q snow ball.
The house was decorated with snow
and 'icicles, inside and out, and the
delicious luncheon was planned along
lines to suggest Arctic diet such as
almond cups in imitation of snow balls.
It was a delightful party, ingeniously
conceived and cleverly carried out.

percentage of profit, not forgetting the
overhead expenses.
The visiting newspaper men were
finely treated by the "boys" of Fargo.
A ten-course dinner was served in the
Commercial Club rooms at 6:45 by that
prince of caterers, George Pirie.
About $50 enjoyed this delightful
function, and the program of toasts
that followed were spicy and entertain
ing. Postmaster Plumley can also
serve as toastmaster in a very capable
way. He knows every newspaper man
from Dan to Beer-sheba, and only
makes few mistakes in calling for
extemporaneous speakers. The re-
sponse of w. A. Scott, who is connect
ed with the state fair association,
brought out the fact that when the
state fair is held next July that We'd
nesday of that week will be known as
editors day and all the boys of the
state are invited to be there.
The program of toasts was completed
at nine O'Clock and then as guests of
the Grand Theater the editors enjoyed
a splendid entertainment at this popu-
lar show house.
The only regrets appeared to be that
the session did not extend over two
days instead of being crowded into one.
There was plenty of work for two
days and it is hoped the next meeting
will at least cover that length of time.
The officers selected by the nominat-
mating committee were ratified by the
association and are as follows:
President-Jesse B. Burgster,
Jamestown Capital.
Vice Presidents-G. A. Monteith,
Finley Beacon; w. r. Mumby, Buford
Tribune; R. v. Fyles, Minor Teller.
Secretary-O. T. Rishoff, Milton
Globe. )
Treasurer-W. j. Anderson, Pierce
County Tribune.
Executive Committee-W. P. Davies,
Grand Forks Herald; E. A. Tosteyen,
Mandan Pioneer; W. F. Cushing,
Fargo News.
The midsummer meeting of the
association will be held at Williston
and the next annual meeting was
recommended to be held at Grand
Forks.

Kuhn is Fast.

The Kuhn basket ball team did not
do much to our high school boys last
Friday evening, the score being Kuhn
27 Oakes s. The Oakes boys developed
bad case of surprise party and stage
fright in the first half and seemed to
fear the boys from up the 500 were
made of wax and would break if they
jostled them. The Kulmites appre-
ciated this lady-like treatment and
improved each shining minute to thread
the ball through the hoop so fast it
looked like prize pup chasing its tail.
Score first half 10 to 2 in favor of the
19.
In the second half our boys picked up
and went ct their opponents in way
that brought forth burst Of enthusiasm
from the rooters. But the job was too
big and all they could do was hold the
score down to to 3 for the second half.
This is only the second game our
buys have played and they will learn by
experience. Adversely, spells wisdom,
sometimes. The Kuhn boys play .
fast clever game. A slam, bang any
wsy-to-win game. It is . style that is
not in strict accord with the spirit Of
the rules but It seems to be Ill right
