Marvin Kirk Of Devils Lake took
the second prize in the essay contest
conducted at the recent boys agricul-
tural encampment at the state fair.
His essay follows:
"Little of Importance was seen on
our trip to Fargo, as it was made
mostly after dark. Before it was too
dark to see, we noticed many splendid
fields Of all kinds Of grain. We saw
very few corn fields, and some of
them were 50 weedy that the crop
was worthless I suppose the field be-
longed to q man who would tell you
that corn raising would not pay in
North Dakota.
When We arrived at Fargo we were
met at the depot by Mr.. Chitty, who
took US to the Y. NJ. G. A. for the
night, but as it was not possible to
find cots enough there for us, we were
given room in private house, and
told that we were not to pay the bill,
and that we should get our breakfast
there too. We had fine room and
fine breakfast.
cat about 10 =. m. Monday morn
ing we were taken to the fair grounds
on the street cars (fare paid by the
B. F. A., which means Better Farming
Association.) When we arrived at the
grounds we were admitted and went
to the fair headquarters, where our
printed passes were taken, and brass
ones fastened with regular freight car
seals to our belts SO we could no lose
them. We were then enrolled and
paid our $780, which was to pay for
all our expenses for the week, except
ing Of course, amusements and other
thinks like that
"Soon our tents and blankets arriv-
ed, ala --en and boys were set to work
putting up the tents. They were only
shelter tents, with open ends, and
were set up facing each other in two
running eapt and west,
with a street about fifty feet wide be-
tween. A large tent for assemblies
and lectuses was put up west Of these,
and in this the lectures were held.
Two moro teuts, one for the off,
cial headquarters, and one for loung.
room, were placed south Of the camp,
a few yards.
An arc light was provided to light
the camp in the evenings. Four boys

occupie each tent, and were supplied
with straw and two blankets. They
were responsible for the care Of these,
and had to air them each morning, as
if in the army. When the bugle sound,
ed assembly, the boys formed two
companies, on the south side of their
tents. The occupants o. each two
tents formed a squad. We always as
sembled for our lectures in this way,
as well as when going to meals at diff
ferent places on the grounds, Com:
pany A, the south row Of tents, was
commanded by Captain ogaard and
Company B, the others, by Captain
Dixon. The whole camp was in charge
Of Mr.. Center, who was also stage
manager, chairman, postmaster, mes
senger boy, and the one who saw to
it that everyone enjoyed himself as
much as possible.
Of course, the lectures were the
most important and profitable part Of
the whole thing, but since I haven u
two weeks to prepare that report, !
can only mention few Of the most
important and interesting things we
learned.
The first lecture we heard was by
Dr.. Dillon, the camp physician. He
told US how to take care Of ourselves
and our surroundings to preserve oul
health. It was certainly an instruc.
tive lecture and if his instructions
were followed there would be much
less sickness.
There were mo lights in the tent and
since it was quite dark by that time
Center told us that Mr.. Cooper, the
founder of the Encampment, would
now speak to US, since he was not very
handsome and we could not see him
very well.
Mr.. Cooper told US Of the plans TO,
the week, and told US that we did moi
need to be afraid to stay in the tents
though it looked very stormy. TO il
lustrate how easily people may b.
frightened at night, he told us funny
story Of his first camping trip, in
which he was terribly frightened, but
he told us not to be afraid Of the

The next morning professors Randleet
and Dyne told Us about poultry, poul

were shown the poultry exhibit which

HERE FOR HOURS,

Inmates Of the county Jail will be
treated to services tomorrow morning,
when Captain Robert Cooper of Min.
neapolis, the celebrated Jail worker of
the Salvation Army will make an ad-

and will conduct services tonight and
tomorrow afternoon at the Salvation

mind an old experience which Cap.

he visited the Jail here a year ago.
The deputy forgot that the Salvation

HEA. ( RAIL Being PIT IN INDI.
GATES THAT IT Is NEW
ROADS MAIN LINE.

That Devils Lake will be on the
main line Of the 500 railroad to the
coast, and this city will be division
pont for the new road is now almost
a certainty, several things that point
to this city being the main stem Of
the new railroad system having trans.
PRED during the past week.
The steel gang which has reached
Luther Elliott 3 farm just outside the
city, will again start putting in rails
today, the supply which was delayed
for a time being replenished. The
fact that eighty pound steel is being
put in, is proof conclusive that Devils
Lake will be put on the main cast
line, for if it were not the main line,
it is hardly probable tina. such heavy
steel would he put in place
As division point Devils Lake is
most centrally located and further
more the 500 railroad has acquired Sc
much right Of way in this city, more
than elsewhere in this state, makes il
almost certain that this will be di'
vision point. From the hospital, dis
tanee Of mile, and 300 feet wide
land has been acquired for side tracks
and yards, while west Of Minnewau'
kan avenue strip Of 100 feet wide
has been purchased by the 500.
The steel gang is working fast to
ward Devils Lake and the interest
taken in the arrival at this city shows
that the work will be rushed.

CT. NORTHERN TO BUILD WATER
TREATING PLANTS ON MI.
NOT DIVISION,

Hard water has always been one Of
the things with which the Great Nor
thern railroad has had to contend on
the Minot division, and it has been a
serious proposition, too, as the water
was the cause Of many leaky boilers
and consequent engine failures. Plans
are under way now to change all this
Water treating plants are to build at
various points on the division and
when these are completed it is ex-
pected that the Minot division will
have a. good water as any division on
the system. The new treatment is
said TO render the water as soft as
rainwater.

It is safe to say that within the history
of modern civilization a more shocking dis
aster has not occurred than the destruction
of the steamship Titanic, which recently
went to the bottom with perhaps an un-
known number Of human beings. Whether
or not the officers were either directly or
indirectly at fault for the appalling loss OF
life on account of lack of accompanying
life boats will be the subject of a searching
inquiry when the grief stricken world gets
round to it. Periodically, however, disas-
trous accidents occur, use all the precaution
those responsible will or may
