Club Meeting.

Inc Heppner COmmerclal Clu
held a meeting at the counci
rooms on Friday evening, a good
ly number being present. Tw'
matters were brought to the at
tention of the body for consider
alton that have to do with tht
development work that is going
on throughout the country. The
first of these was the proposition
of getting through congress a
bill providing for the means nee
essary to promote a scheme of
national soil experts; this was
fully set forth in letter read be-
fore the meeting from Traffic
Manager Miller of the O w R &
N Co. After listening to this,
the Club voted to lend its assist
ance by giving the proposition its
endorsement. The second mat
ter of Importance was the presen-
tation of the plan of the Oregon
Agricultural College, as prepared
in an extended letter read from
Prof. Hetzel. This gives in de-
tail the plan of the College in its
extension work among the rural
districts and schools. AS this is
to be carried on in connection
with the plans of State Superin-
,endent Alderman, and as the
Club did not have his view of the
proposition, it was decided to

Did you ever consider what the Y.
IN. C. A. means to the city of Fargo?
Did 1t ever occur to you that there
are hundreds of men and boys visit
ing this great institution every day in
the week?
Did you know that there is a total
of 355,510 visits made by men and
boys to the Fargo association each
year-and this statement comes from
actual n accurate accounts that are
kept. This would mean an average
of 947 each day.
There is a reason for this and it
lies in the fact that the local institu-
ton is by far the best equipped and
the best managed in the entire north
west. There are amusements. in
structions, good literature, home life,
n all safe guards for the young men
thrown about the institution which
makes it an ideal place for the boy
or man away from home, as we'll as
for those who live here.
Some of the An1ussme1ts,
There are games of all kinds in the
Wen equipped gymnasium which is the
pride of the association. Here are
baseball. bask etball, ~voIleyball. medi-
cineball. boxing, wrestling and other
manly sports played, and there are

to which this is ~patronized. OF those

structed during the summer months,
free of charge.
Work Extension.
The association does not confne
itself alone to the building and the
members of the ~" for during the
season there is a garden contest con-
Quoted in which the school boys of the
entire city contest for prizes that are
generously offered by the business men
and others. The association takes q
sort of supervision of the grade school
baseball contests, promotes many
events in which all of the churches
may unite in discussing measures for
the city good, and one of these
measures that was fathered was the
bringing to Fargo of DR.. Shutter. Then,
too, the association is the social center
for many societies and associations,
and there is seldom a day that meet
ings are not held in the rooms by
those not members.
The Religious Work.
In the way of religious work there
is much done. There are fifty-two
Sunday afternoon meetings held in the
year and even during the summer
months there were nineteen held and
1t is remarkable, but nearly half of the
attendance is made up of young men
who do not reside In Fargo, but were
induced to attend the meeting through
the work of committees appointed for
that purpose. There have been several
conversions made at these meetings.
Then, too, there r prayer meetings
held occasionally in the rooms and the
night school is a. feature that has been
pronounced most successful.

LOCAL CATHEDRAL
BEAUTIFUL PLACE
INTERIOR DECORATIONS OF ST.
MARY's CATHEDRAL WERE. FIN
ISHED AND MEMBERS WERE
AGREEABLY SURPRISED LAST
SUNDAY MORNING,

The members of st. Mary's cathedral
parish were agreeably surprised when
they entered the cathedral Sunday
morning. The work of decorating the
cathedral in oils by Kover & Sons. of
o Wayne, Ind, was completed Sat
urday evening.
The interior of the cathedral is far
more beautiful than when when COM
pleted thirteen years ago.. The color
scheme is most pleasing and a great
credit to the artistic taste and ability
Of James T. Degering of Wolcott, Ind,
who had charge of the work for Mr..
koVer. The sanctuary attracted most
attention and all were unstinted in
their praise of it's beauty.
Seven emblems, representing the
seven sacraments, fill in the seven
panels in the ceiling, the emblem OF
the holy eucharist having the most
prominent place and we'll above the
high altar. The vine, with punches
of grapes, makes a. very effective deco
ratiYe border for each panel with its
emblem.
At the top of the ceiling there are
several cherub~ heads, which give a
very artistic finish to the whole. I'm
mediately outside the sanctuary are
the emblems of the four evangelists
On the ceiling of the main arch, on
the epistle sides, are the emblems OF
the joyful and sorroWful mysteries,
and on the gospel side, the lamb with,
the monogram X (chi) p. (rho), and
the cross and crown, the emblem OF
the passion. Immediately back of the
main arch the papal arms. consisting
of the triple crown, the keys, the
winged lion, star and anchor make a
very artistic emblem. Near the choir
the picture of st. Cecilia playing the
organ makes a very appropriate en-
biem. On the opposite side of the
church an anchor, cross, crown ano
heart form the emblem for the three
divine virtues, faith, hope and char
ity.
on the same side is the picture OF
the pelican tearing open it's breast
feeding it's nestlings with its hearts
! blood-the emblem of the Redeemer
who died for mankind.
The north window is s~urH1ounteo
by a study of Christ from The Last
| Supper, and the south window by
| the picture of Our Lady of Perpetuai
Help.
THE work is all done in oil and ar
idea OF the amount OF material used
may be gained from the fact that 1,40(
| pounds Of white lead were used in the
last coat. The cathedral was filled
| Sunday evening, when Father Egar
gave a short explanation of the diff
| ferent enble1ns.

In THE HOTEL LOBBIES

H. NJ. Creese of Spokane, Wash,
was registered at the Waldorf yes
terday and was visiting about the
city. He met some of his old friends
in town and was shown about, and
thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Il have
often heard of Fargo" said he, land
what ! have heard has always been
good. sc l vas not in any way dis
q ppointed when / was wandering
about the city. 1t seems to me that
situated as you are here, right at what
might be called the gateway to the
northwest, and all that it embraces,
your town is bound to be a big one.
I would not be surprised at all to
see Fargo double her population in
ten years. The fact that your water
system is about finished and that in
a few weeks you will be able to drink
pure, clear water right from the water
mains, certainly is one of the big
things that all of you people should
be thankful for. I have heard that
every bit of water that you drink has
to be bought by the private consumer
and this hardly seems right, but from
what l can understand all this will
be stopped when the system has been
approved by the experts who are MAX
ing the tests. Fargo is beautifully
located for a big town. You have
the water here from the Red river
and you are just far enough away
from any other large city so as not
to be interfered with in any way by
such a city, and from what I have
heard and myself observed you are
enterprising and have that spirit of
go ahead that is bound to win every
time. Yes. ! am satisfied that Fargo
is destined to be a rafting big town
where there will be plenty Of business"

D. E. Sander and family of Moose

years ago. They were well pleased

good deal of grain remaining in the
shock in u country" said Mr.. San
der, and it will never be cut. Just
like YOU had in the states, We had
a great deal of wet weather just at
the time when we wanted dry weather.
and that threw US back in our thresh-
ing, and then, too, the farmers up
that way neglected to stack the grain,
with the result that much of il will
be lost. The grain was heavy and of
good quality, and I venture to say
that the farmers who left their grain
standing out in the field have learn
ed a lesson and another year will see
them busily engaged in stacking, so
as to be ready. for whatever comes
along" 49,. d.. ...

wanted the money but he did want
few minutes to devote to his business
now and then. None of us poor poul-
try breeders are Burbanks, but the
situation is different only in degree.
The man who is worth seeing or hear
ing, or whose methods and product
are worth inspecting, is the man who
needs all of his time for the business
in hand. If he ceased to give the
business all his time and attention
be would soon nave little that was
worth while seeing.
And why should man be at the
beck and call of the general public
simply because he raises poultry !;
when the same &. p. would not for
