.CHAUTUAQUA TO

New Era Before Devils Lake

to Come

Devils Lake. n. D.. Nov. a.-That
the North. Dakota Chautauqua asso-
citation is on the threshold of a new
era. that the assembly Of 1912 will
eclipse anyone in the history of the
organization and that thousands OF
people will visit the beautiful sum-
mer resort Of the lake REGION" is
tary, as expressed in an interview.
The installation Of the electric line
solves the greatest problem that has
ever confronted the association" de-
clares Secretary Hooking. The pass
ing of the old steam line buries the
hoodoo which has hung over chau-
tauqua. Visitors a now be invited
with the knowledge that they can be
amply cared for"
feature that is being planned for the
assembly next summer is a series of
aquatic sports. put on in North Da-
kota for the first time. Yacht races.
motor boat races. swimming. diving
and other events will be arranged on
a program to furnish afternoon and
evening entertainment such as has
never been offered at an inland lake
west of Wisconsin. The event of water
sport in the surf of tn famous Devils
Lake will mean a vast improvement
along the beach. which on recount Of
the fact that the water has receded
to some extent, offers a sand water
front such as can not be surpassed.
The supporters of C~hautauqua inter-
ested particularly in water sport. were
greatly encouraged OF account Of the
fact that while other bodies Of water
were receding during the past six
months. Devils Lake reversed. After
continually lowering for twenty years,
the water surface Is now three feet
higher than last spring.
The continued rise in the water level
has in a measure silenced the agitation
OF changing the course of the Mouse
river. diverting it to Devils Lake, in
order to perpetuate the inland sea. It
is apparent that nature has cared for
that. avoiding the necessity Of con-
structing a canal from the western
river.

manent residence. sheltered in the

PLAN FOR BIG
MEET SATURDAY
Dunn County Railroad and
Farming Event Attract
ing Interest

Manning. n. D.. Nov. 9.-There will
he an important meeting OF Dunn
county farmers and business men in
this city Saturday the purpose OF
which is to take action preliminary
to the inauguration of a campaign that
1t is hoped will bring a railroad into
the county. Dunn county is without
railroad facilities and the farm owners
of the district will seek to interest tho
Northern Pacific sufficiently to induce
that railroad to extend Il line here
either from Stanton. Mercer county, or
from Dickinson. Stark county.
4 second purpose of the meeting
will be the organization of a good
farming society. Supt. l.. r. Waldron
Dickinson will be at the meeting and
will deliver an address on the aues-
ton of modern farming methods as
applicable to conditions in the western
section OF the state.
State Commissioned of Agriculture
and Labor w. c. Gilbreath has been
invited to be present to assist in de-
out a definite plan of action in connec-
ton with the railroad question. One
of the first steps proposed is that Of
gaining a.. complete statement of the
county's assets, including the amount
of farm land under cultivation. the
Yields. etc. as we'll as to secure state
ments of the aggregate business done
in the several cities.
Dickinson business men have be.
come interested in the question as
they are anxious to have the new line.
If n is built. extended forth from
that point. Mandan, Of course. would
rather see the Stanton line extended.
as that would bring the Dunn county
business through that point. The
stanton line has already been COM
pleted to Hensler.
1t is the hope of the farmers. in
p~erfecting the better farming society.
to secure an organization that will be
able to work out solutions for several
problems which have arisen. and to
bringing about greater yields in the
future. Societies of this nature are
few and far between in such newly
settled districts. and another object is
to avoid conditions such as exist in
some of the older settled communities
where uncertain methods of farming
have proved damaging to the soil.

The action of the market today was

suited in a large reduction Of the
