jackson, w. G. Owens and others
spoke, but the star speaker of the
evening coming with an optimistic
note and a breath of the outside
world of advancement along power
lines of which Williston is no
mean factor. was H. A. Storrs,
of Denver.
The work he was doing for the
city and the future prospects of the
place was the key note of Mr..
Storris' talk.
The immense amount of work
done in the way of river improve
ment by the government at this
point and the great prospects of
the future, for this city to be the
center of great river activity, was
touched on in connection with the
future prospects of beet sugar
plant at this point.
When the government power
plant was built at this place one of
the main reasons for installing a
steam plant was the prospects of
future development of the beet
sugar industry, as steam for
evaporation is one of the largest
elements in a beet sugar plant.
As an example of what can be
done in the WiIliston project in
the way of beet sugar, the speaker
cited the Huntley project on the
upper Yellowstone where the
farmers raised four thousand acres
Of sugar beets this year which
averaged them $61 per acre and
the returns of many of the grow
ers, was as high as 500 per acre

at the office of Supt. Tatem at this

more will be sent in prior and at

TO make arrangements for the
McVey lecture tonight was the
primary reason for the meeting of
the Commercial Club Tuesday
night but before the meeting was
over a wide variety of subjects was
discussed and the inspirational
talks by members and visitors
wrought enthusiasm to high pitch
President McVey will be met at
the train by the alumni of North
Dakota, committee of the Com
mercial Club, the band and es-
corted to the Great Northern Cafe
where a banquet will be held and
afterward escort him to Gates
opera house.
After the lecture ar informal re-
ception will be held and everyone
given a chance to meet the head of
tie North Dakota University and
the speaker of the evening.
Other than the primary object
of the meeting, the question of
what to do with the boys was up,
and that precepitated the advance
ment of the armory idea and the
opinion was freely passed that
Williston would in the next year,
have an armory that would in
dignity and appointments stand
with the future of the city.
Rev. HolIett was one of the
speakers of the evening and told
the members how the NJ. E. con.

astors, chrysanthemums and white
sweet peas, these decorations be-
ing the tribute of the Ladies Guild.
Many relatives from neighboring
towns and a large number of
friends accompanied the family to
the cemetery where the priest per-
formed the concluding rites:
Her presence may not be with
US, but her spirit will ever in
fluence the loved ones she cher
ished; for
''None who e'er knew her can be-
lieve her dead
Oh! where that bright soul is, it
cannot be night.">
Mrs. Corbett's life was an open
book. Her time in the drama of
this world was short but full of
works. She was ali active men,
Der of the Book and Thimble Club,
an earnest worker in the Episcopal
church and deeply interested in all
that concerned the highest welfare
of the city. Bright, vivacious,
winning, sympathetic, she was
ever willing with heart and hand
to further any worthy enterprise.
Universally popular among her
friends, and numbering them by
scores. in no place did she appear
to such advantage as in her home
life. The life in the Corbett fam
lily was ideal and perhaps the hand
of death never fell where it hurt
more keenly than in this home
circle thus bereft. But in her
short life, the wife, mother,
daughter, sister and friend left a
rich heritage; the memory of a
loving and faithful woman true to
the highest ideals of life.

The Real Citizen
"Worth While"

The man who is always too busy" to lend
little help in the communitys common
cause is too busy ever to measure high in the
community stature!
The man who is so poor he ''can't afford"
to support well-founded, successful result
producing community movement, is indeed
so poor that he is on the debit side of the
community ledger
The man who counts for something in
the community is the man who does some
thing for the communicated he is the same
man who gets back from the community the
fullest measure of return.

LIGHT AND THE EYES.
It's the Amount Rather Than the In
tensity Of the Rays That Hurts.

tenStty OF the Hays That Hurts.
1t is not SO much the intensity of the
light focused on the retina as it is the
quantity received by that sensitive or
gan that causes rctinal fatigue or
worse. In the great snow fields of
the arctic regions the natives protect
their eyes from the glare Of the snow
by goggles made Of followed pieces of
wood in which they have made small
holes to look through. These, says the
Optical Review, reduce the quantity Of
the light which passes into their eyes
with consequent relief from the glare.
So. too, ii we look through a minute
pinho,e disk at the sun we can endure
the very bright light much longer than
when we look with the naked eyes. If
we look at Il distant electric arc light
there is no retinal fatigue. while if we
look at the same light from Il short
distance there is great discomfort. and
yet the two retinal images are of equal
brilliancy. only in the first case this
image is very much smaller than in
the second case-that is, the quantity
OF light is very much different.
Then there is the flaming electric
light which is now to be found in all
OF the large cities Of the country. This
light Is much less brilliant than that
Of the arc light. and yet it's size is so
great that this more than makes up
the difference. and it is therefore very
glaring and uncomfortable to look at
In skiascopy it is possible to use
very intense light if it is made small
In area, for the reasons above stated.

I'arins Rescue by . Heroic Newfound.
land Fisherman.
Sir Edward Morris. prime minister
Of Newfoundland. tells In the Wide
World magazine u remarkable story OF
herOism ON the part OF Newfound-
land fisherman. The name of this man
was George Harvey. and he resided in
q low. rocky island. few miles east
Of Cape Ray.
In those days the emigrant ships to
Canada were crowded with passen-
gers. In the autumn of 1882 the brig
Dispatch. hound to Quebec. with 163
souls. In a gale Of wind. struck rock
about three miles from Harvey's home.
He heard the signals of distress and
Immediately launched his boat, with
his boy of twelve. his girl of seventeen
and his dog. and tried to get out to
the wreck. On the deck of the doom
ed ship were crowded the crew and
passengers. in imminent peril of their
lives. A terrible sea ragged between
his boat and the wrecked ship. but
across that awful waste Of water the
gallant fisherman and his brave chill
dren urged their frail skiff. To get
close to the stranded ship was to court
instant destruction, and the task Of
saving those OH board seemed we'll
nigh hopeless. but Harvey's noble
Newfoundland dog. with marvellous in
telligence. seemed to understand what
was required of him and at signal
from his master sprang out Of the
boat and swan toward the ship. The
seas overwhelmed him and drove him
back, but he persevered and finally
came near enough. The sailors threw
him rope. which he gripped with his
sharp teeth. and at last he got back to
his master and was drawn into the
boat almost dead from exhaustion.
Communication was now established
between the ship and Harvey's skifr.
and with the most laborious efforts ev-
cry soul was saved.
