pie are blessed. Neville has two
good churches and also two other de-
nominations which hold services here.
We do not only take pride in our
school building and aup-to-date bust

our churches. The Norwegian Meth

l. Taking in consideration the infu-
! ence OF good and evil throughout
our natural, physical career in a
double sense of the words meaning,
man naturally abhors that which is
evil and tries to cleave to that which
is good. So in choosing a place Of
abode in life, every character worth
living tries to find a place suitable
terial sense Of the word, but in a spir-
itual. 1t will be seen that Neville
and territory are blessed by a God
loving people and much Of its pros
perity We attribute to the above con-
ditiOn. =
..., Our School.
One Of the most important consider
ations when a person makes a choice
Of a new home is school facilities.
The progressive and ambitious set
tier is usually one with a growing
family and wherever he makes choice
of location, the selection must fur
nish in addition to the usual virtues
of the soil and climate, an opportunity
for proper education of his children.
Neville is justly proud Of it's splendid
school building and corps Of efficient
instructors and we dare say that few
towns in the northwest his size AVE
a like institution. The building cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000, con-
structed on solid brick plans design
ed the most modern way for con-
Venience. At present the building
has four rooms and two basement
rooms, the latter being for domestic
science and manual training work.
The courses of study provide for three
years of high school work. There are
Ave teachers who have charge of the
work from the primary department
to the high school work.
The teachers. are Perry C. Arnold,
principal; Marion &. Dickinson, as
sistant principal; Nora A. Clarke,
grammar department; Bessie Mosier,
intermediate department.; Josephine
Johnson, primary department.
The board consists of E. c. DISCARD,
president; Joseph Pearson and Owe
Aaser, directors: c.. G. Bostrom,
treasurer; A. H. Osmon, clerk.
The citizens of Neville take par
ticular pride in the improvements
which have been made during the last
few years. Neville Is yet but a
young town. Seven years ago, 1905,
in May, the townsite Of Neville was
a grain field, since then a pretty lit
tie prosperous village has sprung up
until today it numbers 400 people. 1t
has grown steadily every year-not a

showing a healthfulness that has been
gratifying at all times. The matter
OF good roads has never been lost
sisht of but there is still a wonder
full amount of work to be done in this
line here as we'll as all over the state.
The volume of business transacted
by the banks is a pretty sure and safe
index of the general prosperity of
the community. While the amount of
deposits together with other transact
lions conducted by our banks does
not look large when compared with
administrations Of our larger cities
and manufacturing towns, still we
are sure they make a favorable COM
parison. The total assets Of the two
banks reach the neighborhood Of d
quarter of a million dollars. The de-
posits made in these banks by The

gradually increasing from year to
rear. Like most other good business
men the farmers carry their check
book and transact a major portion of
their financial deals through the
banks. Correct {nethod instead of the
old h~aphazard, slipshod way of even
ordinary business is now the usual
order instead Of the exception.

that charge were laid against him but
there are passages where the presup-
positions of his analysis lie outside
his book. There is nothing in the
book certainly nothing SO early as

He valued most of all his possess

upon him he never lost sight Of. He
might have been the most dist1n-

pursued them with a zest that soon

fact OF being q lord among common

thing that is noticeable is the many
trees that have been planted about
the homes and the commercial club
each year deVotes a day or two to
planting trees along the public high
ways within the village limits. The
streets have been graded and graVeled
making splendid thor0ughfares. Re
member We are not speaking Of a
city but of a young town that seven
years ago was not known. There is
a lot left to be done but these things
will be taken care of as fast as con-
ditions will permit. Neville does
not believe in overriding things and
does not start on a project unless it's
wise business heads see the proper
outcome. We invite everyone to
come to Neville and see for them
selves.
The first mayor Of Neville was A..
D. McDOugall, who has resided here
for many years, likewise our post
matser. F. w. McDougall. The Great
Northern interests here are looked
after by Station Agent o. U. Tyler.
Time and space do not permit us
to cover the situation here in detail
but we trust that the reading public
will gain a satisfactory pen picture
of Neville by his article and the
views given.

LORD BYRON I'm FICTION.

He lis pledged. not to Byron. about

ure and Of whom he may say what he

always before his eye when analyzing
Relldish. that he has built UP Bendish
on his reading Of the personality of
Byron without m of those necessi-
ties to observe the requirement of a
point Of view opposed to- his, is clear
enough. The faults of that method
