BISHOP CONFIRMS
q HERE SUNDAY
Catholic Divine of Bismarck
Makes Official Visitation
to BOWbells

to Bowbells
The Right Reverend Bishop
Wehrle of the diocese of Bis
marck, made his Episcopal Visi-
tation to the St. Joseph's church
in this city on Sunday last. He
came here from Kermit Satur-
day evening where he went the
same morning on the Great Nor
thern and where he had some
important business matters to
look after. Pontiful mass was
celebrated by the bishop at eight
O'Clock Sunday morning, and at
this mass all children that were
to be confirmed, received Holy
Communion. At ten o'clock High
Mass, coram episcopo, was sung
by pastor, Father O'Sullivan, and
at this mass the choir, under the
able direction Of Mrs. Frank
Smith, the organist, pro we'd that
musical ability, both vocal and
instrumental, is not wanting in
this city.
After mass the bishop gave a
very lengthy explanation of the
Sacrament of Confirmation and
the effects it produces within us.
Then, with the assistance of
Father O'Sullivan, he administer
ed the Sacrament Of .Confrma.
ton to twenty-five people;
The Bishop then explained
the object Of the Visitation
and expressed himself as very
much pleased with the church
building and all that pertains to
the carrying out of the Devine
service, urging the ladies at the
same time to belong to the Altar
Society and take care of the
beautifying Of the Altar. He
was especially pleased to see the
new high alter which had been
put in place since the last Visi-
tation here.
Dinner was served after the
services at the parish house,
those present being Father
O'Sulliyan, Bishop Wehrle and
the trustees of the church. The
bishop left Sunday afternoon for
Kenmare where he had some
business to look after in connect
ion with the new Catholic shool
which was recently erected.
In t h e early days Bishop
Wehrle was stationed at Devils
Lake as a missionery and at that
time was the only Catholic priest
in the western part of the state.
He counted his territory by the
thousands of square miles, but
the population thenof white peo-
pie was very small and to reach
the settlements of Catholic faith
| necessitated a great deal of ira
vel on horseback or team. Dur
ing the early days he visited this
city and some Of the pioneers
will remember him from that
visit. He has been priest and
bishop now for over 27 years.
The following people received
the Sacrament of Confirmation
at the church Sunday:
Agnes German, Loretta Jane
Lepper, Loretta Kopriva, Mar
garet O'Donnell, Catherine
Krier, Rose Pommier. Florence
Pommier, Agnes Donahue, Laura

The local farm implement dea-
lers are now scratching their
heads and wondering how they
are going to explain things to
the farmers in this territory
from whom they took orders for
twine at a certain price and are
now unable to fill these orders
at the price agreed on. John
Moore of the N. B: Moore Imple-
ment Co., was seen standing on
the sidewalk in front of his place
of business Tuesday morning
and appeared to be in a guam
Diary. When asked by The Tri-
bune what was bothering him,
he gave US the following tale of
woe:
Il took orders for over two
carloads of twine during the
summer for fall delivery at a
certain price, and now l find that
am unable to sell at the price
agreed on. 1t isn't my fault, and
it isn't the International Harves-
ter Co.'S. fault, and I am just try
ing to figure out who to blame it
onto. I made a contract with the
international people to furnish
me twine +. o. b. Chicago at a
certain price and took orders for
this price plus the freight and a
small profit. The freight in car
load lots from Chicago to this
city is 70 cents per hundred. Or
account of the big crops all over
the northwest the railroads are
unable to get the twine out. here
in time, and the only way to get
it now is by express. Trainload
after trainload have left Chicago
during the past month, but very
few of the dealers have received
what they ordered.
Things were looking serious
and for several days it looked as
though many farmers would be
unable to get twine to use when
harvesting their crops. The In
terstate Commerce Commission
came to their rescue and ordered
a low express rate on tWine in
carload lots to go into effect on
Tuesday, Aug. 6. All twine that
is shipped out here after this
date must come by express and
even though the express rate is
reduced, it is more than double
what the freight rate is, and l
will have to pay it.
''The express rate in trainload
lots from Chicago to Minot un-
der the new order is $1.35 per
hundred, and several trainloads
will be shipped by the Internal
ional people between these points.
In addition to this I will have to
pay 25 cents per hundred from
Minot to Bowbells, making the
total of SLIGO per hundred in
