Burglarized, Then Fired.

The business portion Of Brampton
was almost wiped out by fire last Thurs
day morning. The blaze was discovered
in Cooper's hardware store at 80 and
the fire was beyond control when dis
covered. It rapidly spread to the Kurth
hardware store and to the sheds of the
Dakota Lumber Company, and these
were consumed.
There was no fire in, the store and it
was soon suspected that the fire was
incendiary, and the authorities were on
the lookout. Friday a young man
boarded the Sou at Nicholson. He was
arrested on suspicion at Hankinson and
on his person were found eight dollars
in dimes and nickles, supposedly taken
from the postoffice, which was in Coop
er's store.
Sheriff Mason brought the prisoner
to Forman Sunday morning. He gave
his name as Herbert Lee Foster, and
under severe questioning by States At
torney Bowen and Postofice Inspector
Bate Foster on Tuesday confessed to
having set the FIRE after burglarizing
the store. With him was implicated
his brother-in-law, Cary Benson, who
gained some notoriety in his pipe
about pursuing the murderer Of Louis
Maxwell last winter. Benson has also
been placed under arrest at Watertown
and will be brought back.

For Better Farming.

The "Better Farming" train which
spent Monday night here was visited
by large number of people. In fact
it seemed that the people would never
cease surging through the cars, look
ing at the exhibits, anxious to learn all
that they could. Oakes was partic-
ularlylfortunate in having M.F. Greeley,
editor of the Dakota Farmer, as
one Of the lecturersla, He was on his
way to Aberdeen. He urged the farm
ers to stay by their jobs, that they had
one of the best occupations, and that
this is one of the best sections that he
knows of. He stated that he had
been all over the United States, Can
ada and Alaska. but knew of no place
superior to this. He stated that he
had been offered large sums to live in
town, but could not be reed to do so.
Prof. Randlett, director of the ex-
tension department, was then called on
to discuss corn. He related his exper-
ience in Iowa, which was at one time
considered to be out of the corn belt,
but when the chinch bugs and other
destructive agencies damaged the
crops, corn was about the only thing
they could turn to, and when they
planted corn they found it would grow
and produce we'll. He stated that the
same thing had been true in North Da-
kota, that he had received some very
fine samples of corn from boys and
girls living on the Canadian boundary,
and predicted that this was going to be
a great corn state. He also spoke of
the fine corn that had been sent up by
the school children of Dickey county.
Supt. Hoverstad closed the meeting
with few we'll chosen remarks. He
also emphasized the value of clover,
stating that it was the clover that had
been growing here for thousands of
years that had put the richness into
the soil, that if we desired to keep up
this fertility it will be necessary to
grow clover which has the power Of
being able to do SO.
The tram consisted of nine coaches
with splendid exhibits in each depart
ment of farm work.

ST. CHARLES SCHOOL NOTES

When on June the 3rd the St. Charles
School closed its doors for its then end
ing term, the faculty of the institution
as we'll as the pupils congratulated
themselves on having finished a most
successful year. The attendance dur
ing the past term was considerable
improvement over the first year, and
went far beyond our expectations, so
that, if the past bespeaks for the fu-
ture, the confines Of the present build
ing will soon be found too narrow to
shelter the increasing attendants.
It will be of interest to tn, generous
stakeholder" and all the friends of
the institution to learn that our eighth
grade pupils took the state examina-
tions, and all of them carried off their
diplomas admitting them to the high
school.
If there eyer was time when mis-
giving critics could accuse the Catholic
School of limiting it's program to the
study of Catechism and Bible history,
that day has certainly gone by. Our
Sisterhoods of today send out an effic-
lent corps of teachers provided with
diplomas of their respective state insti-
tutions; add to this a spirit Of selfdenial
and unsel6shness, such as religion
alone can supply man with; they expect
to spend their lifetime at this noblest
Of all tasks, not for pecuniary gain,
for they have no personal property,
but for the love of their vocation,
wholly bent on the results and success
of their work. 1t will thus be readily
seen how the Catholic School, sometimes
under adverse circumstances, brings
about ts well-known results.
The graduates Of the St. Charles
School for the term ending June 3,
1910, are as follows: Margaret Adams.
Mary Culkins, Cecilia McNerney,
George Adams, Edward Donovan,
Charles Lux, Albert Stehly.

Alumni Receives Class.

At the close Of commencement exer-
cises the Oakesi High School Alumni
gave reception and banquet in lodge
hall in honor of the graduating class.
The guests, to the number of about
fifty. were served splendid banquet.
Rev.. B. G. jackson was toastmaster
upon this ''most solemn OCCASION and
acquitted himself splendidly. Albert
johnson, president of the association,
in brief address welcomed the class,
and Harold Marsh responded for the
class. The following toasts were re-
sponded to: "First Commencement, %

The musical trlo then came forward
and sang beautiful selection, and re-
sponded to the encore with pretty
little negro piece. The Misses Tyrrell,
Brown and Smell make a happy trio.
The Grafton on the ''The Phonograph
and kaleidoscope" was next delivered
by Miss Ina Hutsinpiller. The speaker
alluded only to these instruments in her
talk as being able to produce what was
recorded in them, just as thoughts and
actions are recorded in the mind or in
Gods great book, andwill be reproduced
and brought out just as given to them.
The subject care We Better Than
They?" was ably handled by Miss Hilda
Huffman. She compared the people of
today with the people of ancient times.
Showed how great were the ancients
in the arts and sciences, how much
more adept they were in certain lines
that can not be attained today. Told
of the benefits OF today over the days
of our forefathers, Of the improvements
that were being made for the future
and especially made plea for the con-
versation of our natural resources.
+ But the class history is usually the
most interesting of all.
This part was left to Beth Brown,
who held up the deeds and misdeeds of
every member of the class. With the
exception Of Miss Nichols all had re-
ceived their high school work in this
school and nearly all had been raised
here and had received all of their edu-
cation in this place. Miss Brown
handled the subject very humorously
and had the attention of the audience
all the time.
After another song by the glee club,
club, Supt. Jarvis in a few well chosen
remarks presented the class fo1
graduation to President Coulter of the
board Of education, who in turn pre-
sented them with their diplomas.
The program occupied about two
hours time. Each member of the class
acquitted herself in splendid man.
ner. After the exercises admiring
friends went to the platform anG
showered congratulations upon the
class. 1t is a good one and we are al
proud of them.

ready for delivery by october 1. The
contract price was $4,000.
In submitting designs for the United
States Battleship North Dakota, the
designer has chosen as his period the
colonial style, characteristic Of our
country; in fact. it may be termed the
only true American historic style of
silverware. Its characteristics ar.
simplicity and elegance of form rather
than observation-disclosures of detail. The
ornament is entirely subservient to the
form and structure, and mechanical:
features of the set are clearly express
ed and made in such way as to give
the set the greatest strength consistent
with beautiful shapes.
The border used in the set, while
colonial in conception, is varient Of
the historic laurel border so charl:
teristic of this style, the wheat being
introduced in place of the laurel as
emblematic of North Dakota's agricul-
ture, one of its principal sources OF
wealth. With the wheat border appears
the head of the American bison, one
of Americas fast disappearing wild
animals, and one characteristic of the
region of this state thus showing prom
inently one of the natural features II
the country.
The wild rose is used as decorative
feature, being one of the flowers of the
state, and the other decorative feat
ures are made by associating with thes;
the eagle, emblematic of our nation
the dolphin, emblematic of the ocean
the element to which the ship belong l,
sea-weed, and conventionalized shells

and other products Of North Dakote's
agriculture.

OAKEs STATE HIGH SCHOOL

The school notes end with this date
for the present school year. The writer
of them wishes to express his appreci-
alton of the many kind expressions of
good will from the patrons of the
school and friends. The time has
passed pleasantly and the boys and
girls at school have been good workers
and well behaved which has added to
the pleasure of the work. Our best
wishes 20 with them all in their future
work.
At this time it is proper and fitting
to give our highest regards to The
Oakes Times and the Oakes Journal
for their many courtesies during the
time we have been in the school work
here. May the highest measure of sue
cess attend them in the future.
The pupils all passed the state
examinations in very good shape. Some
would have liked to have put the work
all at the 100 per cent mark but their
ambition was little beyond their pow
er. The examination questions were
long, tedious and hard. They gave all
an idea Of the possibilities of asking
questions for others to answer.
The teachers have all gone to their
several homes to spend the summer va
cation and are at this early date look
ing forward to their return IN the fall
where they expect to enjoy the work
another year.
Several of the school pupils are TAX
ing hand in the coming corn contest
for this fall. Those who have entered
the contest will make a strong effort
to show the best corn that has ever
been raised in any place. 1t will re-
quire patience and hard work, but moth
ing good IS lightly won.
The school boys and girls were much
interested in the agricultural exhibition
train that came up from Fargo Mon
day evening. Almost every one went
through the train and took a look at
the interesting sights.

true unselfish patriotism. and it is for

1t seems, and it is a nearly extinct
species of human impetus that is as
welcome as it is rare 1t can be shown
in many ways, first of all by an active
interest in the city and it's operations.
But it is not shown in a refusal to reg
lister and voice an opinion in an honest
vote, and then in a kick later against
everything the council does or tries to
do. 1t is not shown by any attempt to
saddle on the city a bit Of land when
that bit Of land is adjacent to some mu-
