WELCOME NEW ROAD.

PoRTANT EPoUH m HISTORY
OF THIs CITY.

OF THIS CITY.
& With music, speeches and refresh

'evening turned out to give the 500
line welcome into the city. z1
I'll Fair women and brave men We'd
with one another in extending the
glad hand to the new road, the band
was there, and If the 500 officials
ever had any doubt as to the cordial
.ity Of the good feeling toward their
company, it was dissipated by the
hearty greeting given by those who
were there, and most Of us were there.
. Mayor McClory, who has been I'M
firing in his efforts to induce the 500
to build into Devils Lake, realizing
what benefit another line would be
to the city, delivered the address Of
welcome on behalf of che city. He
briefly reviewed the growth of the
city since the Fourth Of July, 1883,
at which time the Great Northern
reached Devils Lake, and at which eel
ebration he was present, down to the
present time. He pointed out that we
were surrounded by and the natural
distributing point Of an empire, a
territory larger than, many Of the
states in the Union, unsurpassed in
natural resources by any territory on
the globe and with a soil whose natur-
Ial fertility was unequalled. He made
clear to all that the city needed, in
order to realize its destiny, Compel
ing line Of railroad, and urged the
citizens 10 make the most Of the op-
portunity now opened to them, I.
F. P. Mann, in behalf of the Com
mercial club, made brief address and
81. N. Whitman, head of the construc-
lion work, responded in behalf Of the
company.
Il. Boxes Of cigars were distributed
among the railroad workmen, and they
were also rendered seats at the per-
formance at the Grand opera house
and Refreshments at the Commercial
club rooms.
4 Construction work is being pushed
as rapidly as possible, another crew
working from the Drake end Of the
line, and it is probable that the two
forces will meet somewhere in the
vicinity Of Brinsmade. The work Of
ballasting the track will be hurried
and everything put in shape for NOV
ing at least part Of the present crop
tributary to the new line.
Altogether, it was an occasion long
to be remembered and one which we
believe marks new era in the de-
yelopment Of Devils Lake and the
great Lake Region.

NORTH DAKOTA DEVELOPMENT
BODIES PLAN FOR REPREsEN-
TATI0N AT LAND SHOW.

BISMARCK, N. D., Aug. 16.-Gen-
'eral interest is being taken in North
Dakota by commercial and develop
ment bodies in the coming land show
at Minneapolis which will be held I'M
der the direction Of the Northwestern
Development league. T. 81"
One Of the biggest exhibits from this
state will be from the Missouri slope,
and it vii. be directed by officers Of
the Missouri Slope Development lea
que, an organization which comprises
sixteen counties in the southwestern
part of the state. Secretary J. B. slos-
son Of the slope league held confer
ence several days ago with G. L. Tim
norman Of Mandan, treasurer Of the
organization, and many Of the details
connected with the collections of the
grains that will be used in the exhibit
were worked out. Each country lea
que associated with the general or
ganization will have part in the
work Of making up the general exhib-
it.
Mining Possibilities.
Not only will the grain producing
advantages Of the southwestern por-
tion Of the state be taken care Of in
the big exhibit, but plans also will
have to be laid to portray the daily.
advance, the Ignite coal mining pos
sibilities, and the brick and pottery
opportunities.
From otter sections Of the state al
so come evidence Of the interst that
is being taken. The New Rockford
Commercial club is one of the points
taking real interest. Eddy county bids
fair to take on increased Importance
in the state as result Of the construc-
tion of the new line Of the Great
Northern from Ayr to Surrey and the
construction Of the line from New
Rockford to Great Falls, Mont. New
Rockford will be the central point, and
it will advance rapidly, according to
the present outlook, and it's citizens
are intereste1 in exhibiting their ad-
vantages.
At Anamosa the Commercial club
has tapen steps to collect display
for the show, while the same is true
Of several other cities.
The Red river valley will also be-
represented, plans being laid by the
Grand Forks and the Fargo CONNER
cial clubs to cooperate in the matter
OF creating an exhibit. Last year the

Along the north line came FreckleS,
fairly staggering. When he turned east
and reached Sleepy Snake creek, slid.
ing through the swale like the long
black snake for which it was named,
he sat down on the bridge and closed
his burning eyes. but they would not
stay shut. AS if ru..nd by wires, the
heavy lids Gew oNrl and the outraged
nerves II Muscles of his body
danced. twi lied and tingled.
He bent forward and idly watched
the limpid little stream flowing be-
meath his feet. Stretching back into
the swale. it came creeping between
an impenetrable wall Of magnificent
wild flowers. vines and ferns. Milk.
weed. goldenrod. ironwort, fringed
gentians. cardinal flowers and turtle
head stood on the very edge of the
creek, and every flower of them grew
a double in the water. Wild clematis
scattered here and there along the
bank.
Freckles sat so still that presently
the brim of his hat was covered with
snake feeders. rasping their crisp
wings and singing as they rested.
Some Of them settled on the club and
one on his shoulder. He was so quiet
and feathers, fur and gauze were so
accustomed to him that all about the
swale they went on with their daily
life and forgot he was there.
The heron family waded about the
mouth Of the creek. Freckles idly
wondered whether the nerve racking
rasps they occasionally emitted indi-
Gated domestic felicity or a raging
quarrel. A sheitpoke. with farinG
crest. went stalking across a bare
space near the creeks mouth. A
stately brown bittern waded out into
the clear flowing water, lifting his feet
high at every step and setting them
down gingerly. as if he dreaded wet
ting them, and. with slightly parted
beak, stood eagerly watching about
him for worms. Behind him We're
some mighty trees of the swamp
above, and below the bank glowed Il
solid wall Of goldenrod.

yellow as the color to represent vic

Great is the elasticity Of youth. A

The Crop Failed.

The sharp wittedness Of the Rus
sian gypsies is illustrated by a story
told in the Journal Of the Gypsy Lore
Society. A gypsy induced a farmer to
Join him in sowing money, promising
a large crop Of rubles. Having first
sown a comparatively small amount,
they got back each morning their cap
ital with some addition, much to the
delight of the farmer. Then they SOW
ed, a big sum and got back-nothing.
The farmer began to blame the gypsy
for advising him to SOW money. The
gypsy answered. We'll, it's nobody's
fault that there was q sharp frost ear
ly this morning."
