HANNA THANKS

THANKS REPUBLICANS FOR THE
NOMINATION-WILL GIVE A
GOOD ADMINISTRATION

L. B. Hanna: l wish through the
columns of your paper to express to
the republicans of the state my sim
cere appreciation of their continued
confidence in having nominated me as
their candidate for governor. If elec-
ted in November, I shall do my part
to bring our party together and will
endeavor to give the state an ad-
ministration that all will approve of.
l am deeply sensible of the honor
of being the governor of great state,
and if elected, shall endeavor in every
way, while appreciating the response
bilities to measure up to that position.
I have no higher ambition than to
serve all Of the people Of the state
honorably in every way, and to merit
and win their respect and confidence
by conducting the affairs Of our state
government carefully, and in a busi-
ness like way.
wish that I might thank in person
each Of the many who supported me
so loyalty through the primary con-
test, but this l cannot do, and there
fore take this opportunity of express
ing to all my sincere appreciation.

RUNAWAYS

There were two ruaways the first
of the week and while no one was in
jured there was considerable loss as;
one rig was badly smashed and in
the other runaway the horse fell and.
broke it's neck. While runaways can
not always be prevented we believe
with proper care we would not have
so many in Williston. The greater
number of people are careful and tie
their horses but every once in awhile
we notice a team standing on main
street united. When team is left
this way the owner takes his own
chances as far as the team and rig
is concerned but he should also think
of others and not take the chance of
the team running away and killing
someone. Tie the horse and we will
have fewer runaways. -

Regina, Sask., July 1.-Forty-one
are dead and hundreds injured as the
result of terrific cyclone which
struck this city last evening.
There are fully 400 injured and sew
eral of them will die. The property
loss is estimated at ten or eleven mil
lion dollars. Slowly is the debris be-
ing removed for the workers seem
afraid of their task. Many streets
are still blocked and wide detours
have to be made to get to central por-
tions of the city. The death list
probably will reach 80 for there were
many people boating on Sanacka lake
when the cyclone hit Regina and but
two or three of them have been ac-
counted for. Some of them We're no.
ticed struggling in the water and were
then seen to sink. Their bodies will
not be recovered until the laks dlies
up in late summer. Wild rumcrs arc
being received from outside points Of
farm houses having been destroyed
and their inmates killed but all rural
lines are down and the residents of
this city are too busy to scour the
country to see what damage has been
done. The cyclone evidently wiped
out some farm buildings but with
what loss of life is not known. 1t is
without doubt the worst disaster in
the history of western Canada.
All telephone and telegraph wires
with the exception of one telegraph
wire are down. The latter is crowd
ed with private messages from people
who aresafe. A special train left
Winnipeg shortly after 9 o'clock with
doctors, nurses, telegraph and tele-
phone repair men.
The cyclone came from the south
and first struck the new parliament

$2,0O0,OOO. The building is of steel
and concrete and while it still stands,
it is badly shaken. ~~-~

swath six blocks in width through one

FAREWELL PARTY

The Ladies Aid of the Methodist
church gave surprise party for Mrs.
Charles Ewalt, in the church base
ment last Thursday afternoon. Mrs.
Ewalt has been a faithful and active
worker in the aid for several years
and is soon to leave Williston. AS
a token of friendship, Mrs. Ewalt was
presented with a set of sterling silver
knuives and forks from the members:
of the aid. The reception room was
prettily decorated with wild flowers;
and elegant refreshments were served
1t was a time long to be remembered
by those present.

GREAT RAIN
ON MONDAY
HEAVY RAIN FELL OVER GREAT
PORTION OF COUNTRY MON.
DAY-WORTH THOUSANDS

One Of the best rains of the season
fell Monday and was quite extensive.
Reports from the country show that
it extended over forty miles south and
as far north. In the city half an
inch of rain fell and from the re-
ports from the country it was heavier
in sections. The rain came at most
opportune time, as we had several
extremely hot days and a few more
such would have injured the crops.
The conditions now are excellent, in
fact have never been better and
chances are that we will have bum
per crop this year.

ARTHUR JOHNSON
GOES TO GIANTS
FORMER WILLISTON PITCHER
MAY PITCH FOR GIANTS IF
DEAL GOES THROUGH

Williston base ball fans will remem-
ber Arthur johnson, the slim young
pitcher brought here two or three sea-
sons ago from Madison by Mayor
Jackson. johnson seemed like big
awkward kid then but he pitched good
ball for US and at Minot pitched a
thirteen inning game one to nothing.
The following from the Madison
wis., Democrat proves that since
leaving here johnson has been going
some:
If deal now pending materializes,
Arthur Johnson, member of the Mad
ison WI club pitching staff will be
sold to the New York giants for a
price that is most liberal. Muggsy
McGraw, manager of the giants, has
been dickering with the Madison off,
cials for a couple of weeks, and has
practically closed the deal for the
capital city lad.
The St. Cloud Nationals also were
after johnson, but New York got in
the best bid and negotiations have
been confined to McGraw.
Johnson is a product Of Madison
ward baseball and he used to play on
the corner lots down in the sixth
ward when he was "kid" in the
grade school. He was the star pitcher
on the east side and all the clubs were
bidding for his services. He pitched
for Stoughton two years ago, and
signed contract with the colts last
season. Smiley didn't have place
for the big fellow last fall so he
farmed him out to the Cadillac team
of the Michigan league. He got away
well at Cadillac and President Rich
ardson kept him at home this spring.
He has been going in great shape this
year, and gives promise of getting to
the top.
Big league scouts have been buzz
ing about persistently during the last |

TERRIFIC CYCLONE WIPES
OUT PART OF REGINA
Most D.asterou. Wind Storm In the History Of Canada
Scores Klled-Hundreds Injured

hurled high in the air and dropped
blocks away. At Eleventh street the
business district was met with.
The storm continued northward
from Regina through central Saskat-
chewan doing great damage but no
loss of life is reported outside of Re-
gina.
Heavy losses to building are re-
ported from Que Appelle, forty miles
west of Regina and also at Melville,
farther north on the Canadian Pacific.
The tornado swooped down just
few blocks to the north of the south
ern limits of the city, cutting swath
several blocks wide right into the CEN
ter of the town, leaving buildings in
its wake. In a twinkling three of the
handsomest churches in Regina were
laid in ruins. They were the Metho-
dist, Baptist and Knox churches and
the first Of the city's large buildings
to be blown down. The Methodist
church fell with crash that sound
ed above the bowling of the storm and
the roar of the cloudburst that accom-
panied the terrific wind.
Then the roof was swept from the
Y. M. C. A. building across Victoria
Square and the walls of the structure
were shattered while just beyond the
handsome new public library was bad
ly wrecked, and the church of the
ruins almost as complete as those of
Presbyterian denomination was laid in
the structures further south. In rapid
succession, the Masonic temple and
the telephone building were attacked
and practically leveled.
1t is known that 600 families are
homeless. The mayor and the city
council have already started fund
to provide for those left destitute.
No one here is worrying about the
financial loss. For the present the
only thought is to rescue the wounded
and the bodies of the dead.
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1912-07-04

ing the similar period. In this direc-
ton, too, 400 miles before a city is
reached-Great Falls.
For it's growth in the immediate fu-
ture, Williston, of course, depends on
the development and prosperity of the
surrounding country. 1t has more nat
ural resources and a larger farming
and retail trade territory than any
other city in the state. People who
live as far north as forty miles, west
as far as the Montana line and south
into Mckenzie county for distance
of forty to fifty miles, do most of their
trading in Williston. The full devel-
opment of the $4,000 acres of irrigated
land under the Williston and Buford
Trenton projects, will alone double the
population of the city within five
years, to say nothing about the lig-
mite coal industry and manufacturing
enterprises that will naturally follow.
The Williston of Today.
Williston has grown in five years
from frontier town of about 1900 to
city of approximately 5000 popula-
tion. It has been steady, natural
growth proportionate with the devel-
opment of the surrounding country
and the incoming Of new settlers. It
has never experienced boom.
Every line Of business is we'll repre-
sented, and the stores are large, COM
modious and carry complete and up
to-date stocks. The city has five
prosperous banks, with total capital
and surplus of 100000 and aggregate
deposits of about 100000. The Will
liston mill grinds the best wheat
raised in the world, and the product is
sold extensively in towns and villages
as far west as the Rocky mountains.
Truck Gardening Profitable.
Practically everything will grow on
the irrigated lands around Williston,
from wheat to watermelons. Celery,
onions, cabbage, beets, beans, potatoes
and sweet corn grow profusely. A
truck gardner raised 5000 worth Of
celery from two thirds of an acre. He
raised 500 bushels Of onions an acre
with ordinary culture onions that he
sells from 81 to 81 . bushel.

WILLISTON TOBE
THE COMING CITY
RAILROAD PAPER GIVES WILLIS
TON BOOST AND TELLS WHY
CITY WILL ADVANCE

The following is taken from the
Seven States Sun, a paper published
aboard the Great Northern Special
while on it's western trip.
Every section has it's commercial
and industrial center, and citizens OF
Williston believe their city will be the
center of trade and commerce for
western North Dakota and eastern
Montana. If any one doubts the sound
ness of this belief, let him examine
the map and satisfy himself that
Williston has the geographical location
to make it one of the most important
cities between the Twin cities and the
Pacific coast.
When James J. Hill, some twenty
years ago, named the city for his
friend and business associate-D.
Willis James, he foresaw its future.
He knew that the great cities of the
country are either on the oceans, the
Great Lakes or on the big rivers.
Here at the northernmost bend Of the
Missouri river, six hundred miles west
of the Twin cities, in the center OF fer
tile prairies and in the heart Of the
vast Ignite coal fields, he laid the
foundation of the Williston Of today
the City Of Opportunity.
Granting that Fargo and Grand
Forks can maintain their growth, Will
liston is 400 miles west-a sufficient
distance to make room for another
large city. Supposing that Minot
makes good its claim to future great
ness, Williston would be still separ-
ated by 12O miles from its nearest
rival-a distance greater than that
which separates Chicago and Mil
waukee. To the west there is Mon
tana at its very threshold, the i'm
mense eastern part Of which will see
greater development the next decade
than has any other equal area dur

week or two. Ted Sullivan was in
town for a couple Of days watching
some Sof the Oshkosh players. Hugh
Duffy of the Milwaukee association
team watched the Appleton game
from the grandstand yesterday. He
is said to be looking over Pitcher
Van Patter and Shortstop Brautigan.-
incidentally he mentioned that First
Baseman Mills of the colts looked
pretty good to him.
