The WILLISTON

FARGO MEN PRESENTED HAND.
SOME PINS BY THE BABY ELK
DOM OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 100
MEMBERS WERE INSTRUCTED
IN ONE NIGHT.

The largest class Of EIks ever in.
itiated into the order in this state was
that of last Wednesday when Williston
lodge, No. 1914 was instituted by Dis
trict Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler Leech
Of this city, assisted by Sam Crabbe,
as grand secretary, and members OF
other lodges in different parts of the
state
The actual work of the initiation
was performed by the Minot lodge, as
sisted by Otto Morrow, esquire of Fargo
lodge, and the esquire of Grand Forks
lodge.
A special train took the Minot Elks
to Williston and they were met ait the
train by the bunch and an impromptu
parade was formed, which it is said
equalled anything in the circus line
that could be shown,
The officers of the new lodge are as
follows:
Exalted Ruler S. Champine.
Esteemed Leading Knight-A. j. Bes-
sic.
Esteemed Lecturing Knight - w.
Denny.
Esteemed Lecturing Knight-w. B.
Broderick.
Secretary-W. C. Lynch
Treasurer-W. S. Davidson.
Tyler-Dr. Baker.
Trustees-Aistic Johanna, Tom Me-
Kay and John Bruegger.
There were over 200 visiting mem
bers Of the order in Williston on the
nn aFVrr II
North and South Dakota and Montana
and sprinklng from Minnesota. Dew
lis Lake boys were there i'm numbers
boosting for their institution, which
takes place on Feb. %. This installa-
ton will also be in charge of District
Deputy Leech
During the evening the Williston
lodge presented Deputy Leech and Sam
Crabbe each with a handsome gold
EIk's pin which were set with dia-
monds, and the two responded in an
appropriate manner.
After the business had been attended
to in proper shape and the representa-.
tive of the grand exalted ruler Mr.
Leech, had formally declared the new
lodge duly instituted, No. 1914 rendered
a banquet to the visitors, and IL was
a fine affair. This was followed hv q |
social session, which was ENJOYABLE. |
All from Fargo who attended saw that |
Williston certainly did itself proud on |
this occasion and made good in every
way. Already the new lodge has begun |
TO talk about a new home. There were
over 100 members given instruction on
the day OF institution, and there are 1
at least twenty-five more waiting for
the next meeting night.

MOTHER SEEKS Her son


Mrs James J. Campbell of 82S Ninth
avenue, Saskatoon, Sask, is very anx-
ious to hear from her son. Elvin H.
Wheaton. The young man was em-
ployed in a machinery shop or by the
railway at Casselton. Mrs. Campbell
has not heard from him since June,
and is naturally very much worried
Any one knowing the young man or
his address will confer a great favor
on an anxious mother by writing Mrs.

years. With the passing Of this pio-
neer there remains only t.o men mat
identified themselves with the carly
history Of Clear Creek couutx-John
A. Dumont and Joshua Motif All
three above named will be remembered
by all the old timers Of this district.
When Soda City was organized Mr..
Scs1ider sefved 90 president Of The
conpauy. He became largely inter-
es ell in the mines surrounding Em-
pire aud liaho springs and for a
uunbcr of years served as manager
of the Dumont property at Empire,
Osius to bad Investments III later
years he lost what he had acquire d
during the early days, and for long
tllue past had been depeudeut upon
old friendships
Mr.. Scudder took a leading part IN
the controversies that were waged be-
tween the towns OF Aurora and Den
yer. In 1859 he shot and killed Prlei7
L. Basset. According to an extract
from Gen. F.ank Halls history of
Colorado, Bassat lost no opportunity
to traduce his enemy, These reports
we're conveyed to Scudder, whereupon
he went to BAssetl'a cabin demanding
a retrac,ion. This was refused Bas
sett is said to have raised billet OF
wood with the evident intention OF
striking his opponent, whereupon
Scudder shot him dead. UpoA The
advice OF friends he left for Salt Lake
City, but returned to Denver few
months later where he surrendered
himself Ae was acquitted upon the
plea of self defense.
OF late years Scudder had made his
home in Denver at the Windsor hotel.
Previous to four years ago he made
frequent trips to Clear Creek county,
being interested in new method of

full candidates for county officers dur
ing the last campaign were not as eX-
cessive as is too often the case. Chair
man Ben G.. Catren received Sl05 and
paid out Sl2O. so, thus contributing
something for his distinction of serving
the candidates. Chairman Humphrey,
Of the democratic County Central com
mittee, received, $666.50 and
paid out S665. IS, leaving balance on
hand of eighty-five cents which large
amount is worrying Genial Jim as how
to invest it so as to bring the greatest
results He is receptive candidate
for Commissioner of Mines, and the
man who conducts a successful cam
paign and turns over a balance ought
to have just what he wants. 1t is a
novel political stunt. The successful
candidates were out the following

The Firemen again celebrated Friday
night and the annual dance proved to
be one of the best ever given in the city
for many year. The dance hall was
appropriately decorated, and perhaps
exceeded that of former years. Each
lady attendant was presented with
beautiful carnation at the hand of the
department, and the gowns worn were
up to date and the affair proved to be
the event of the season. The floor was
crowded from the fist number to the
closing number at nearly 800 a. m.

should aim to attend. C. P Allen,
chairman of the State Highway COM
mission, will ask the legislature to
appropriate 5000 600 for state highways
With the aid of the convict labor Of
the state this means an equivalent of
more than a million dollars for the
next two years expenditure and our
people should exert themselves in aim

ed in part by showing an interest in the

school Notes

Glasses will not be formed for
mid year entrance pupils this year,
that is, pupils will not be permitted to
enter the first gsade until the first of
another school year in Septambsr.
This refers to pupils who have never
been IN school or have not h>d any
school work. If pupils We're permitted
to enter the first grade at the beginning
of the second semester it would neces-
itate transfer of pupils from grade to
grade to make room for them and
or wd over fifty into the sixth grade
and over sixty into thu fifth grade.
This would make it impossible to do
good W rk in those grades Upon ex-
animation l find that with one ex-
csp.ion all of the classes that have
been formed in the middle of the
year are below the normal. For the
most part the pupils have been too
youns. The greatest good to the
greatest numoer demands that there be
no entering class during the middle of
this school wear.

During a recent trip in Nebraska,

bargains in their respective lines. In
enc town thus visited the bargain d3y
was held the previous week and was
marked success both to the seller and
the purchaser. The streets were crowd
ed with people, not only in the town but
from surrounding towns and the coun
try. The merchants reported that
they did a large business and that sub
ssquently its influence was felt in a very
encouraging manner. In interviews
with many old time friends that were
the purchasers had been shown the
kindest consideration and that they
were satisfied with the inducements
that were offered and that the occa-
sion had the tendency to bring the pub
lie into more cordial and close relation
with the business interests. Whether
such day in this city would be bene-
fiicial is only matter Of conjecture
but it would be worth the investigation
