On Tuesday Mayor McClory was re.
turned victor at the polls over his op.
ponent Alderman Miller. Naturally
with majority Of votes, such as Nc
Glory pulled, there only being 80, dis.
cussion of illegal voting is bound to be
rife, and friends of the loser will nat
urally question the vote; but that is
neither here nor there, 339 of the 500
voters of Devils Lake, placed the pres
ent incumbent in Office, at the head of
the administration for another two
years.
He is once more given an opportuni-
ty to make good with the people. Will
he do it, and place the city administra-
ton on business like basis? The
next two years will tell the story. Our
good Mayor now knows what the peo-
pie want. The vote was so close as
to be interpreted as 4The Writing on

a threat, made by 800 honest, hard
working citizens, to the effect, that if
their ideas in city government were
not carried out, that is, these same
ideas that have not been carried out
IN the past two years, there would at
the next election be another majority,
but our esteemed friend and counselor

the majority.
Mayor McClory, may the city of

1.-THE BARRIER"

THE BARRIER" Company which
comes to the Grand Opera House in
tact from its long season at the New
Amsterdam, New York, is a per-
sonally selected one, to carry out the
ideas of Rex Beach, the author of the
book and Eugene Presbery, who dram
atized it so successfully. The novel
itself is so very well and favorably
known that q rehearsal of it's story
and plot is superfiuous: all that need
be said is that on the stage, nothing
has been lost from the story, but the
characters are visualized most remark
ably for the benefit of those who have
loved them in the story. There is still
all the atmosphere of Alaska, the last
of the frontiers, which Mr.. Beach so
admirably transferred to paper by the
magic of his pen; that Alaska which
he learned to know through six years
of his early life spent there, and whose
characteristics he embodied in this
thrilling tale. It is not the usual Alas
ka of the fictional press, but the real
Alaska, sunny, bright and attractive
to the last degree, and faithful pictures
OF it are to be found only here.
Norval MacGregor, who heads the
company, takes the part Of John Gale,
whose mysterious past is one of the
features of the tale and play. Mr.
McGregor is skilled player, a capable
stage director and an interesting per-
son to know. Grace Johnson, who was
especially selected by Mr.. Beach to
play Nicola, the girl whose supposed
Indian blood forms the BARRIER" in
the love tale, has beauty and ability
and will be found the true embodiment
of the character. Capt. Burrell is
handled well by Lee Miller, and Pol
con, the light-hearted French Canad-
ian, is delight as played by: George
Cleveland. NO Creek Lee, the leading
comedy role is assigned to Max Steinle
well known as fun-maker of parts,
Alluna is handled by Matte Hyde, and
the two Williams Stark and Runnion,
are played respectively by Bryce How
atson and George Byron. Each charac-
ter is thus embodied in the best fash
ion, and the excellence of the cast is
thoroughly backed up by the good pro-
auctions carried.

MORRIS SMITH A PROGRESSIVE

Morris Smith the proprietor Of the
Fashion Shop is progressive. Not
in the political sense however. His
progressive-ism is confined to his shop,
not in the hot-bed Of factionalism.
With; his keen business ability he has
taken advantage Of spring in its hey
dey and as early if not earlier than
his competitors is offering his patrons
a full line of spring and summer styles.
His first formal opening took place
Saturday. The store, the only one of
it's size and MAGNITUDE this side of the
Twin Cities, is replete with an assert
ment Of exclusive styles unparallel in
this section Of the country. Easter Is
but three weeks away and it behooves
the interested woman; to make "trip
to Devils Lakes Fashion Shop. ;s &

COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
PREDICTS BIG BOOM IN
FLicKERTAIL..$ LAND

That North Dakota lands are soon
due for boom and that when the
spring weather opens in earnest there
will be steady influx Of. buyers and
men seeking locations is evidenced by
inquiries being received by Commits
sioner of Agriculture Gilbreath. From
the tone of these letters, North Dako-
ia lands are preferred to those Of Tex
as and Florida. q ~ 81,
Wisconsin Man Writes. s.
The following letter has been re-
ceived by the commissioner of agri-
culture from S. J. Reign of Elkhart
Lake, Wis, and is a fair sample Of
others received from the Middle West
and Eastern sections of the country:
Several parties, including myself,
intend to come west this spring and
buy land for general farming. We
will probably want from two to three
sections OF good level land for raising
grain, that can be farmed with trac-
ton engines. We prefer good prairie
land, or may consider land that can
easily be cleared, free from stones,
that can still be bought cheap. .@3
More Will Come Later.
IF the land is good and conditions
are right there will be more people
from our part of the country to buy.
In the past few years 1 have taken
a great many people to Texas and
have made a good number of sales.
But many of our good and thrifty far
mers do not wish to go south and
prefer to go west if they can get the
right kind of land at the right prices.
Now, l am looking for some good sec
tons Of land in your state where to
take these people to and sell them
land"

Even Billings county, while the re-

turned and give majority for La Fol

home of Colonel Roosevelt, mustered
only very small majority for him.
while in the three principle cities of
the county, Beach, Meroda and Senti-
mel Butte, La Toilette received 24S and

as to be insignificant. With total Of

state, his total vote will be less than

The strenuous contest into which the
La Toilette and Roosevelt forces were
thrown was responsible for a great
falling off in the Taft vote.
