DOUGLAS.

Douglas is fine, hustling little city
on the Plaza branch of the 500, IL
miles west Of Max. The town is nice
" laid out, the residence section be-
ing separate from the business CEN
tire.
The citizens are proud of their city
and with good reason, for all the bus
mess places are housed in good, sub
stantial structures; the streets are
well cared for, and fine, wide cement
walks line the main thoroughfare.
The Douglas State Bank occupies
quarters in beautiful block built Of
pressed brick, located on the principal
corner of Main street
The. Dood Bros. occupy the balance
of the same building with an excep-
tionally fine stock Of heavy and shelf
hardware and furniture. This is one
of the best equipped hardware stores
we have seen in our travels. The fix
lures alone must represent tidy sum.
In the basement of the Douglas
State Bank building are located the
quarters Of the Douglas Commercial
club, a live and aggressive organiza-
ton of the business and professional
men and farmers. The rooms are
tastefully equipped with furniture, in
GLIDING beautiful Kohler & Heinrich
pool table.
We understand that the Commercial
club has pushed forward every laud-
able enterprise that has made for the
better interests of the community.
We found in DR.. Grangaard ply
stefan of most pleasing personality.
The doctor richly deserves the large
and lucrative practice he enjoys. Mr..
Crockard, one of the editors Of jim
Jam Jems, was formerly the postmas-
ter of Douglas and editor Of the Doug
las Herald. His many friends are in
clined to think the recent sentence Of
Judge Willard too severe.
At Douglas is located one of the
few consolidated schools Of Ward
county and we invite all those living
in districts where efforts are being
made to establish consolidated schools
to ask the tax payers Of Douglas if
there is an appreciate increase OF
the tax rate.
The Board employs three teachers
and may finish up another room and
increase the teaching force this year.
No superintendent has been engag-
ed as yet for the coming school year.
The school house is four-room
building and occupies slightly loca-
ton at the edge Of the residence dis
trict. .sa
Kragness Bros, who handle a fine
stock Of Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes and
Groceries and Clothing, occupy the
corner opposite the Douglas State
Bank. This store gives one the inn
preston Of being kept by well trained
and capable business men. The
stock is kept up splendidly and the
store is neat and attractive in appear
ance.
We met G. M. Eng, clerk Of the
school board and prospective postmas-
ter and his standings were the highest
OF the four applicants who wrote in
the recent examinations.
We found II. G. Schrimpf in charge
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1913-07-24

Of the Douglas Imp. Co. Mr.. Schrimpf
handles the Case and the Maxwell
automobiles and is doing splendid
business.
Mr.. Schrimpf is president of the
school board and is trying to get on
the track of good superintendent
for the Douglas schools.
Douglas has a first class drug store
owned and managed by the j. J. Dom
ahue Co. They keep large and care
fully selected stock of drugs, cut
glass and jewelry. The we'll patron
lied soda fountain maintained at this
these torrid days.
The 500 Lumber Co., an institution
owned and controlled by North Da-
kota capital, maintains a large yard at
this point in charge of E. Tweet. Dur
mig the five years he has been in
charge Mr.. Tweet has built up fine
trade by his honesty and fair dealing.
The Douglas Telephone Co., local
institution, owns and operates over
sixty-five miles of line out of this
place. Mr.. johnson, the manager,
tells us that in the past two years it
has cost the company but 1872 for re-
pairs, and ~ Of that was for NOV
ing the switchboard.
The North Star Lumber yard at
this place has a new manager in the
person of w. r. Link, who came here
from Cakes.
Clifford Ehlers, the assistant post
master Of Douglas, we believe, enjoys
the distinction of being the youngest
postmaster in Uncle Sans employ.
He is slight lad of but thirteen
years, but he is a hustler and has the
business of his office ever at his finger
tips.
We met A. D. Wartenbe, the veter-
an contractor and builder and added
his name to the long list Of Indepen-
dent subscribers here
Mr.. Wartenbe recently completed
fine dwelling house for himself and
has the new Catholic church now in
process of erection, nearly done. He
is now waiting on the plasterers be-
fore giving the edifice final touch
prior to dedication. The Catholic
Society will have a beautiful church
here when completed. Rev. Viewers
Of Garrison has charge Of this parish.
The Methodist Society have been
making extensive repairs to their
church building this season.
Mrs. L. G. Drunater is building an
addition to her millinery store on
Main street. Contractor Wartenbe
has charge of the work.
There is four-cornered fight on
for the postmastership Of Douglas.
The rules Of the postofice department
provide for an examination Of appli-
cants for the position and now there
are four aspirants for the job. AM
drew johnson, cashier Of the Citizens
State Bank, is at present the acting
postmaster. ~ n
The Citi.ens State Bank, with An
drew Johnson, cashier, and Peter Shelf
valand, assistant, in charge, is doing .
splendid business and enjoys the con-
fidence OF every one. #
Eric Aas, street commissioner, Is
perhaps the busiest citizen of Douglas
these days rounding up those who have
poll-tax to work out. n. "a
Douglas is surrounded by fine farms
and the farmers are all hustlers.l
Large quantities Of cream are shipped
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1913-07-24

from that point which brings lots OF
ready money into the community.
What's the matter with a creamery,
boys, something after the style Of the
one at Granville, where the bulk Of
the cream is made into ice-cream and
the balance into butter. That one is
a money maker
The Golden West hotel of Douglas
is for sale. The proprietor, G. NJ. Lar
son, owing to his poor health, desires
to retire and 60 on a prolonged visit
to Norway. This is an excellent OPP
portunity for a good hotel man to
pick up a property that is money
maker, and get it cheap.
The building is well located, steam
heated and has 18 rooms furnished in
first class shape. 1t looks like snap
to us.
w. F. Ehlers is the 500 agent at
Douglas and is in the real estate bus
mess, too. We sized Ehlers up as a
good, live, straight, clean-cut business
man. We wonder that he doesn't han
die that hotel proposition himself.
PLAZA.
Plaza has the honor, and maybe
boasts of the fact, that it is the home
of the "Plaza Pioneer" George l..
Smith, editor. Smith secures addi-
tional subscriptions by guaranteeing
a refund in case the subscriber doesn't
go to heaven when he dies. Upon
signifying our intention to take a
chance George said he supposed it was
understood that Minot newspaper men
were barred.
Plaza is a hustling little city and is
fortunate in having q good bunch of
progressive businessmen who lose no
opportunity to keep Plaza on the map.
We found considerable uneasiness
at Plaza over the fact that in build
ing their lines on across the state
Plaza will be left on q spur and Ma
koti will then forge to the front as
the leading city Of the Reservation
district. It might be safe bet at
that.
Nature is certainly working q
transformation that is all but mirac-
ulous these days. The changes
wrought in the past ten days in grow
ing crops almost passes belief.
On the 3rd of July as we were
coming up on the 500 DR.. F. B. Combs
OF Chicago, WhOm we met on Cne
train, remarked as he looked at the
corn fields Of Elsberry and Persons,
"There is the finest corn have seen
anywhere on my way up through Wis
consin and Minnesota"
The 500 railroad are very negligent
in destroying noxious weeds along
their right-of-way. We noticed many
patches Of milk weed in blossom on
the way up to Burlington.
LANSFORD.
Lansford gets its renown primarily
from being the home town Of "Bill"
Holbein, who edits the Journal and
is busy keeping editors in line, as Sec
rotary Of the state Press association.
We might mention the fact that it's
at Lansford they have an undertaking
ablishment next door to the editor
ial sanctum, and the Editors private
boneyard is the lot beyond.
+ Lansford has tailor who is an en-
thusiastic and successful farmer, q
crack automobilist and the champion
cribbage player Of Bottineau county.
At Lansford we met our old friend
Claude Graves, formerly druggist
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1913-07-24

Of Donnybrook, now proprietor of the
best equipped drug store we saw on
our trip up the Sherwood branch.
Claude is well liked, enjoys an excel
lent trade and prosperity is smiling
upon him.
With respect to our visit to Glen
burn, our case was like the section
foreman's message: "Off agin; on
agin; gone agin. Finnegan." In 9th
err words it was brief, and anyone
knows who knows the Independent
that it wouldn't do to turn in any half
way dope on Glenburn, the former
home Of the Independent editor.
There wouldn't be that one loop we
still cherish, left to hang our scalp
up by, if we didn't do justice to Glen
burn. To tell the truth Colcord thinks
the sun rises, or used to at least, over
Glenburn way. We've convinced His
Royal Highness that a stray goat ate
up the notes we made of our trip to
Glenburn in the hope that we'd be sent
back for full report.

The Gem Restaurant Keeps to The
Forefront.

The Gem Restaurant, a success
and credit to Brookhaven ever since
its inauguration by R. j. Storm
about two years ago. is being run
since the retirement of Mr.. Storm
on account of i'll health, by his
cousins, Messrs. Fielder and Carl
Storm, two of tine most estimable
young men of our county. sons of
Mr.. John Storm, we'll known to our
people.
The Gem has proven a wonderful
convenience to the public and is
satisfactory, as nothing else of the
kind has been, to patrons in this
vicinity.
To ladies', who come to our city
to shop, the restaurant has been an
inducement to the trade. They
have found the Gem always neat
and orderly and inviting. the fare
the best and the service excellent.
1t is also the popular resort for busi-
ness men and has become factor in
our affairs.
Messrs. Fielder and Carl Storm,
the new proprietors. expect to keep
the Gem up to its high standard, as
they are proving day after day in
the service.

hungry and when you want retire.

Judge P. I. Jones Develops RefIec'
ton on Unpleasant Facts.

Superintendent Jones' mention
ing on Sunday morning before the
Baptist Sunday School the deIin-
quency of a woman passenger who
cheated the conductor of railroad
out of ten cents fare. is an omen
of how women. with their enlarged
rights and privileges. are going to
be held up as examples in other
things than those Of home and the
sweet influences that have been
always attributed to the queen in
that realm.
"A woman who listened to Mr..
Jones statement and accompanying
remarks somewhat resented the
reflection necessarily cas-. upon
women in this particular phase Ct
dishonesty where men are promi-
nent. when a we'll known travelling
man said to her: why, that's as
common as anything / know. In
my travels have observed a prom
inent and well-to-do Brookhaven
woman taking passage with nurse
and baby. The nurse looked to
be 80 years of age. A half ticket
was presented the conductor of the
train. "Your nurse is not
twelve?" he inquired. The lady
shook her head. Well, Madam.
responded the ticket puncher, If
she ever gets to be twelve, buy her
a full ticket" Another woman
bought a ticket to a nearby station
and Immediately fell asleep! She
slept so soundly the conductor could
not arouse her; but when she
reached her true destination, sew
eral miles beyond what she paid
for, she walked off-and she was no
somnambulist, either! And there
are others"
The fact that women are enter
ing upon the arena of life free
and equal" with men should ad-
monish them to prove that their
broadening sphere cannot affect
their womanly virtues. nor those
inherent qualities of heart or prin-
ciples of life that have been con-
ceived by men to exalt them as
their peers. The ideal woman
cannot be attained unto, otherwise.
And here we might add that the
decreasing chivalry of man can be
attributed in great part to woman's
voluntary attitude before him and
not to a wilful "change of heart"
on the part Of those who have here
tofore received their inspiration to
highest endeavor. and loftiest life,
not to say courteous bearing, from
'the weaker SEX" whose uncon-
scious strength has been uncontam-
mated purity of soul, that showed
itself in daily walk and conversa.
