GOLD kooUcroN

TO DECREASE
Economists and others who have
loved To ascribe the high cost of liv-
ing to che ever-inereasing production
of gold should be cheered by the in
formation that the production OF
gold is estimated to have reached its
flood
In 1890 the production of gold was
$ll9,0000t@ While in 1911 it was
Si60,000 predicted that

this process 80 per cent is saved az
compared with so per cent under
old methods Then there have been
discoveries of great deposits OF gold
in West Africa, in Australia, in Rho

While the proposition that in
cre5 sed production of gold resulted
in higher cost Of living through
lowering y the buying value Of a
dollar has been disputed. the aver
age person will remark that the in
crease in living cost and in gold be-
gan about the same time. And most

BELLA ITALIA

GREAT MUSICAL ACT WILL OC-
CUPY THE BOARDS AT THE
GRAND TONIGHT.

The Grand opera house has an excep-
'tional bill to offer this evening. The
word exceptional has been used several
times hitherto with reference to vaude-
vile bills (in the case of the Pickets
for instance.) The word exceptional
is used in a highly different term this
evening however, according to Manag-
er Foster, who says he has the greatest
act that has been seen in Devils Lake
in many moons in the Bella Italia
troupe. These performers, four in
number, offer highly colored feature,
abounding in electrical effects. Their
music is true to the italian style, the
harp playing being the feature. In
addition to this great Orpheum act,
the weekly review of the important
events offered in moving pictures will
be given as we'll as several other COM
edy pictures. If the show is what Mr..
Foster says it is the management Of
the Grand will entertain the largest
houses at vaudeville performances dur
ing the balance Of the week that has
been their pleasure to have.

will be exhibited is Jacque II, coming
three years old, which took first prize
in the grand class over 800 head in
France. A fine sorrel Belgium which
was purchased from the Austrian gov
ernment by Mr.. Olson will also be ex-
hibited. A three hundred dollar prem
ium was paid over the purchase price
of the horse to the Austrian govern
ment before Mr.. Olson was able to Sc.
cure this prize animal.
Great interest is shown in the coming
show which will surpass all expecta-
tions. Exhibits are coming from every
corner of the Lake Region. The horse
sale under the direction of Frank Hy-
land will be feature. Harry Knee
shaw will have big field of entries in
the sporting events. The band will
furnish plenty of music and the parade
Of horse flesh will be elaborate.
Prof. Eastgate Of Tolna will appear
in Devils Lake next Saturday after
noon and evening to give one of his

AS result of a resolution adopted
by the board Of county commissioners,
at the request of G. 0. Russell, chair
man of the Commercial club good roads
committee, $3.50 will be turned over to
Charles Stotlar, the treasurer of the
good roads organization, the money be-
ing aportioned from the automobile tax
fund received from the state by the
county. The plan is to add the county
contribution to an equal amount ap-
propriated by the Commercial club,
which money will be used for the pur-
chase Of traction engine and drags
to 90 over the roads Of the entire
county if possible and put them in the
best of shape. The money will also de-
fray the working expenses of the men
who will be kept constantly at work
bettering the road conditions in Ram

The venture is indeed good one
The engine which was used just be-
fore the automobile tour passed through

"I have never smuggled anything,'

across the water but have always de-
clared everything the same as I did

rival Of the channel boat, which inside
of half hour pulled alongside and
with the big derricks they loaded the
horses in huge baskets from the small
ship to the larger one. Some Of the
English officers who continually patrol
the sea, noticed what was going on
and the boat was Ia for full hour
after the transfer was made while
these officials communicated with the
land headquarters. Mr.. Olson said the
captain of the boat told him it was
the first time he had ever known Of
such thing being done and further
stated it would probably cost some
company dearly for it because the
horses were billed through to England.
Mr.. Olson landed in New York on
April 1st and owing to the great
amount of advertising he has secured

he does not know how to thank, he was
