FULL CAMPAIGN EQUIPMENT
FOR OFFICIAL INSPECTION

Company E. First regiment, North
Dakota N. G., of this city was in
spected Saturday evening by Lieut..
Col. r.. H. Tarleson, of Bismarck.
Col. Frame was to have been here but
illness prevented his coming.
The inspection was held at the
Gates Hall. Thirty-five men turned
out for the inspection in their full
service outfits, including khaki uni
forms, tents and blanket rolls. A
number of men who live across the
river could not get here because Of the
high water. At the close Of the in
spection the inspecting officer ex-
pressed an opinion quite satisfactorily
by saying that the company had pass
ed the best inspection Of any he had so
far visited.
General Orders just received by
Captain Evans, of the local company,
state that Sarg. John w. Rock, from
Company H., Second U. s. Infantry,
has been delegated to duty with the
North Dakota guard companies. He
started his tour to the various COM
pany posts on April 8. He will be
in Williston on April 18th and will re-
main till the goth, giving special mill
tary instruction to the officers and
men of the local company on Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday even
ings during the week. The officers Of
Company E are anxious to have all
the enlisted men attend this school,
and any others who may contemplate
placing their names on the muster
roll.

THIRD BAND CONCERT

The largest crowd that has yet been
present at one of the Sunday free con-
certs by the Williston band, gathered
at the Star Theatre Sunday afternoon
to hear the excellent program. Aside
from the usual numbers by the band
there was something special in the
form of piano duet by Miss Wheeler
and Miss Hougen. The excellent new
Baldwin piano, furnished especially
for this number, afforded splendid
medium for the Interpretation of
very difficult piece of music, artist
cally executed, as only these two
splendid musicians can play. The per-
son who could not appreciate the ar
tistic manner in which this number
was given. is indeed far removed from
the enjoyment or really splendid
music

A BIG BLAZE

EVANS HOTEL AND SEVERAL
STORES DESTROYED-WHOLE
TOWN THREATENED

A fire, starting about 1870 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, for several hours
threatened to wipe Culbertson, Mon
tana, off the map, and before it was
broug t. under control damage which
amounted to about $4,000 had been
done.
The fire started in the basement OF
the Huxol drug store, in the Evans
block. A defective furnace is sup
posed to have started the blaze. The
flames quickly spread to the Evans
hotel, Eagle saloon, post office. Ed
mons store and the Standard Pub
fishing Company, all occupying the
same block. All of these business
buildings were destroyed and with the
exception of the Emond's store the
stocks were also consumed by the
flames. The larger portion of the
clothing stock in the Emond's estab-
lishment was carried out and saved.
First reports received at Williston
were to the effect that the fire was at
Mondai. Later the reports were cor
rected.
A light wind was blowing and for a
time a number of other buildings were
threatened, among them being the
bank building. The fire wall between

G. N. SETTING
GOOD EXAMPLE
RAILWAY HAS HAD MEN BUSY
CLEANING UP REFUSE IN
IN YARDS

The Great Northern Railway Com
pany has been setting good example
for the city of Williston in house clean
ing. During the past few days they
have had several men at work clean
ing up the winter collection Of cinders
and ju.l- in the local yards, dumping
one or two days more thar; fifty men
it into cars and hauling it away. On
were engaged in this work and several
carload of cinders and filth were taken
up and hauled away. The yards pre-
sent cry different appearance. The
operaticns were not confined solely to
the vicinity of the passenger station,
but the yards generally were given
attention.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT

City Auditor N. B. Ludowese has
isseud a financial statement of the
city in pamphlet form, covering in
totals receipts and disbursements
from July /, 1904 to March 1, 1913.
In transmitting the report to the
council the auditor makes the follow
ing Introductory paragraphs
"In submitting to you such state
ment for March first, 1918, I beg to
report that for the past several
months l have been engaged in max
ing a detailed audit of the books,
records and accounts Of this office
with view to ascertaining the true
financial condition of the various de-
partments of the city, more particu-
larly the water works and electric
light systems. My financial state
ment for March 1st, 1918, is there
fore based upon said audit report
of which is made a part Of such state
ment."
The preparing of this report has
meant large amount of extra work
on the part of Mr.. Ludowese, which
would have cost the city neat sum
if outside experts had prepared it.

A NEW HARD
LUCK STORY
BEGGERS ABROAD IN LAND WHO
CLAIM TO HAVE LOST THEIR
ALL IN OMAHA TORNADO

AS a perfectly natural consequence
of the Omaha tornado, there are the
usual beggers who are going around
with brand new hard luck story to
inveigle unsuspecting citizens to "com
inveigle unsuspecting citizens to
"come across" with their hard earn
ed simoleons for the sole and only
purpose of buying red liquor. It is
understood that there was man in
town last night, who was plaintively
telling a story about how he was a
photographer in Omaha when the
tornado swept the city, and that his
studio was entirely demolished OF
course he had the usual number of
children, a mother-in-law or two and
perhaps a wife who was depending
upon him for support, and now that
his studio was gone he was forced to
beg for living. And furthermore,
it was ascertained that when the
man had caused a quarter to drop
into his outstretched palm, he i'm
mediately proceeded to be "sport,"
according to the old saying "spend
your money for booze and sleep in
the gutter"
1t has been prognosticated that next
week there will be people begging on
the strength of the Ohio valley flood,
and that on the week after that would
be victims of possible storms in Okla
homa will be using such possible dis
aster as subterfuge to spirit away
the "needful" and that it is not at
all unlikely that in short time some
one will be begging because he was
deprived of house and home on &C.
count of the Mexican revolution.

the Eagle saloon and the drug store
did not serve to stop the flames and
they leaped over this, continuing the
destruction. All of the available fire
fighting apparatus was brought into
use but it was not sufficient to con-
troll the confagration until it had in a
measure burned itself out.
The Graphic reporter found much
other damage in the vicinity of the
fire. Large plate windows in the
buildings across the street were all
broken, the intense heat causing them
to break as though they had been hit
with hammer. Nearby buildings in
the vicinity scorched, and scent of
general destruction was apparent in
the vicinity of the fire.
It is understood that the loss is
pretty we'll covered by insurance.

DISPLAY BOOTH
PUT IN SHAPE
ADVERTISING BOOTH AT STA
TION GETS CLEANING AND
RE-ARRANGEMENT

Zone good way to advertise a COM
munity is through the display booths
at the hallway stations. I must say
that some of these I have inspected in
this state were anything but a good
advertisement for the community.
They were poorly kept and suggested
anything but enterprise"-These were
among the remarks made by Presi-
dent McVey, of the University, in his
address before the Commercial Club
here recently.
These remarks may, or may not,
have any bearing on the fact that
the splendid display booth at the local
station has been given good clean
ing. The windows have been washed
and the displays, which had fallen
down, have been re-adjusted and the
interio, thoroughly busted and clean
ed. The display, although parts Of it
are little old and need replacing,
now looks one hundred percent better.
The next move will be to renew some
of the displays when the season ar
rives when these can be obtained.
There is little doubt but that the
display booth is a great ADVERTISE
ment. They make a great impression
upon the people from the east. The
writer never saw one of these booths
till he came to North Dakota, and re-
members distinctly of being interest
ed, and made a thorough inspection
of the display till the train pulled out.
