ANDERS VISITED
new BUILDINGS
CITY ENGINEER PAYS TRIBUTE
TO NEW oUARTERMAsTERs
STRUCTURES AT DEVILS LAKE
ON ROCK ISLAND MILITARY
RESERVATION.

Last Sunday / had occasion to vls-
it the Rock Island Military Reserva-
ton on the north side of Devils Lake,
said City Engineer Frank Anders TINS
morning. This reservation is Inc
property Of the United States and IS
under the direct charge of the North
Dakota national guards. The guard
is represented by a board composed OF
Gov. John Burke, Gtn. w. G. Treumann,
adjutant general of the state; Col. Jos.
M. Kelley of Devils Lake, and Capt
b. G. Boyd, Co. l. Of HilIsboro.
Three years ago / was the guest OF
the national guards while at camp on
the reservation, and on my recent VS.
1t / had an opportunity to compare
the present appearance Of the reserva-
ton with that of three years ago. The
board has accomplished a wonderful
amount of work with the at
its command.
"A great deal of the reservation has
been cleared Of underbrush and dead
trees, and the underbrush has been
burned as the work progressed. The
work has been so carefully managed
that the sale Of wood obtained front
| clearing has been sufficient to pay the
entire cost Of this Improvement.
Probably one of the finest improve
ments undertaken by the board and
completed recently, is the new quarter
masters building for the storage OF
camp equipage and other supplies
necessary to put the first regiment on
a campaign footing.
This building is built OF stone OBJ
tanned from the shore Of the lake. and
the work has been as carefully and
skillfully done and presents as fine an
appearance as any building of this
character I have ever seen. Every
convenience necessary for handling
heavy equipage has been provided, n
an ample .quartermaster's Office has
been added to the building. A wide
porch screened in, provides a gather
ing place for the officers, and this is
a feature that was greatly missed at
former encampments.
THE building is located on a knoll
overlooking the lake, making the view
from it very pleasant.
This building is n that has been
needed for many yeas, and n guard
can be congratulated upon h aquisi-
ton of a structure that will meet all
their needs along this particular line
for many years to ONE
This building will be under the di-
rect charge of Captain c. Angus Fraser
of Fargo, regimental quartermaster,
First regiment North Dakota National
guards"

Under the heading of loot Your

BOY PROBLEM next
Fargo People Will Have Opportunity
to Hear Excellent Lecture Sun
~ day Evening.

A rare opportunity presents itself at
the Grand theatre next Sunday even
ing in the lecture Of Sydney A. Teller
on The Boy Problem. Mr.. Teller is
known amongst the social and civic
workers Of Chicago, for, in two years
time. not only has been established
West park No, 2. on a plot OF ground
upon which formerly stood some fifty
seven dilapidated buildings, but
through his splendid management it
has become a powerful social and civic
center, having had a total attendance
during the past year in its various
gatherings of nearly 7s9, 900 people.
The swimming pool which was open
ed last June is one Of the great at
fractions. 1t has accommodated some
$4,000 men and ON during the
101 days it has been open.
West park No. 2 is indeed a great
home center, and every foot Of ground
surrounding the buildings is devoted
to recreation or rest for the thousands
of working people of the many diff
ferent nationalities living in that dis
trict.
One of it's most novel and original
features is it's council made up Of rep
resentatives of twenty-six clubs and
societies. which Constitute a part of
this social and civic center. This
council or senate meets every fifteenth
day to engineer diverse lines Of work
which come within its province. One
among it's various duties is the pub
fishing of a monthly paper. The
Journal of Social and Civic Chicago,
with its motto: For a better hui
mainly OF the people, for the people
and by the people"
The ideals Of West park No. 2 are
best summed up in the following
words: I'VE pledge to promote
democracy, neighborliness, justice,
good citizenship and brotherhood"
