Ceremonial srinas Hundrad..

Just what the big ceremonial to be
given Thanksgiving day in this city
by the knights of Columbus will mean
to Fargo will be realized when the
number Of men from all parts of this
state and the jurisdiction in Mime
sofa make their appearance on the
Fargo streets.
1t Is estimated now that there will
be between ESQ and 800 men in the
city at the time of the knights of
Columbus ceremonial to be given at
st. Mary.s Roman Catholic cathedral
and at Columbus hsll on Thanksgiving
day.
The programme for the big banquet
to be held at Columbus hall Thanks
| giving night Is in the hands OF James
Coleman who is arranging to have a
| large number of distinguished speak,
/ 4rs 1t was hoped that Gov John
Burke, who is a member OF the order,
would be able to be present and adj
dress his felIow knights on that oc-
casion. but it was sater learned that
he will be unable to attend on account
Of his presence on the governors train
at that time.
Mr.. Coleman stated to the editor Of
the lodge page Thursday that he could
not give out the programme just yet
as he had been disappointed in one Or
two speakers he had intended having
here, but as soon as he had 1t com.
pleted he would give it out for publ
cation SO that the public will know
what the subjects Of interest will be.
Tom Dunn, who Is an active worker
In the local council, told the lodge page
editor that the final arrangements for
the taking care Of the visitors were
now being made and everything was
bending in the direction Of the cere-
monial.
A recent vacancy has occurred In
the local council owing to the resigna-
| ton OF Joe Neville, due to his removal
from the city to st. Paul. At the next
business session, his successor viii
probably be chosen.

woodmen Thank Typos.

DR.. J A. Rutledge, the superintend-
emit and medical director Of the Mod
ern Woodmen, in thanking the super
intendent of the Union Printers Home
at Colorado Springs, says in the NO
vember number Of The Modern Wood
man:
wish to take this means of ex-
pressing my appreciation and graft
tude to Supt. Charles Deacon OF the
Union Printers Home, Colorado
Springs, Col, and his wife, for the
many courtesies and inspirations we
have received from them in taking UP
our work at this institution.
The Union Printers Home is one
OF the best-managed institutions that
1t has been my pleasure to visit The
system of handling the finances is IS
N rly perfect as it could possibly be,
while everything is kept neat and
orderly about the place Beautiful
grounds have been decorated with
towers, and upon two occasions they
have sent us flowers enough for each
of our bed patients. The dairy has
been brought up in grade until the
cows average nearly fifty pounds OF
milk day, and the new heating plant
and hospital are models Of their kind.
They have lately added the sanatoria
treatment Of tuberculosis TO the many
advantages that have been brought
about by this organization since
President Lynch has been in charge.
we had a very r. easant call re-
Gently from President Lynch, Secre-
tary Treasurer Hayes, and several
members of the executive board. who
spoke in the highest terms of the work
we are doing here, and expressed a
desire that the two institutions might
work in harmony. We spent day
in thoroughly examining the systems
they have of accounting for every
thing, and many OF them will be
adopted in our institution, Mr. and
Mrs. Deacon have been at the head OF
this institution for fourteen years and,
while they carefully look after all the
details, they are still able to have
their hearts beat in unison with the
wants and needs of the unfortunate
sick and aged who, broken down, are
compelled to seek home where all
\ the comforts possible are provided for
them.

Jarbidge's First Mill Run

The Salt Lake Telegram says recent
arrival from Jarbidge says that the first
mill run in the camp was made last
week. at the plant erected by Z l.
Fletcher and associates. The results
we're far more satisfactory than the
owners had anticipated. After she mill
had been run only five hours the gold
piled up on the plates so thick that
it was necessary to shut down for a
cleanup, with the results that $1,000
in gold was taken from the plates.
The run was made on the best ore
taken from the mine. In the future,
however, ore OF lower grade will
be milled. 1t is thought that the
average output will be from $4,000 to
$1,000 per month. Two other mills
will soon be runing in the Jarbidge dis
trict, which gives promise of being a
heavy producer during the coming
year.
