SCHOOL BEGINS,

$E No matter what strife of tongues
and fists may separate one gang Of
kidlets from another, there is one
point on which all can agree. That
lis, hatred of school.
And what wonder. Boy life today
does not have the compulsions Of a
former generation. The farm boy who
had to drie the cows, milk them, rake
seatterings after the hay cart and
stow the hay away under the caves,
was glad enough to see Sept. / come.
Sitting down in a cool and quiet room
with no farm hands to: prod his weary
legs along was almost heaven.
The city Or town boy Of today has
few such compe lling tasks. Through

nent Improvements should Gbe consid-
erably smaller. "A short line is being
constructed north from Niobe, N. d.,
into Canada, which will afford q con
nection with the Grand Trunk Pacific
line from Edmonton to Regina. The
Grand Trunk will run its own trains
from Regina to Minot, NJ d. Thence
the Great Northern will take traffic
east to Minneapolis and t. Paul, and
thence over the Burlington to Chica-
CO. From there the Grand Trunk can
take the tonnage eastward on it's own
lines to Toronto and other eastern
Canadian points. This is a shorter
and more direct line to Toronto from
Edmonton than the route east through
Canada. &{5s
The Great Northern is building sew
eral extensions along; its lines, and is
busy at work on its alternate route
that starts east at New Rockford, N.
D., and runs westward through Mon
tana to Benchland, where connection
is made with existing Great Northern
line running north. Completion Of
this alternate line will be effected by
construction Of a road from Augusta,
Mont, north of Java, where connec-
ton is made with the present main
line. In about a month this route will
be ready for trains from Java to Lew
iston. Grading has been done on the
stretch between Yellowstone and Mis-
souri, rivers in North Dakota.

the Great Northern has almost ap.

the best possible service, and that if
it was possible to erect a new plant
and have the machinery installed be.
fore winter set in that it would be
done. In all events, work will begin
on the new plant just as soon as the
location is decided upon.
1t is the intention of the new man
agement to install gas plant in
Devils Lake just as soon as enough
patronage can be assured to warrant
making the investment necessary.
In taking over Devils Lakes water,
light, power and telephone plants Mr..
Corson asked that his patrons aid him
in remedying the faults of the old
company by informing him when they
do not receive the service which they
feel they are entitled to and he as
sures all that he will do all within
his power to satisfy all.
Mr.. Corson is a good business man,
a live booster, and one who will al
ways be on hand to do his share in
helping build up Devils Lake. -. s:
Col. A. B. Kerlin, it is expected will
remain in Deils Lake for the present.
1t is possible that he will move to
Minneapolis, wheer he has been of
fered very high position with the
Twin City Insurance company. As
yet he has made no definite plans for
the future.
In losing Col Kerlin from Devils
Lake, the city will be minus one man
who has always done his best for the
betterment of his city, and has never
shirked when an opportunity present
ed itself to aid in building up Devils
Lake, and the Lake Region.
