TO WELCOME
THE TOURISTS
MATTER SHOULD BE TAKEN UP
AT ONCE-OF INTEREST TO
WILLISTON.

In a few weeks the Glidden Auto
Tour, from the Twin Cities to Glacier
National Park, will be run through
Williston. So far little has been done
toward arrangements for welcome
and entertainment of these three or
four hundred people who will spend
the night Of July 18th in Williston.
At the special meeting of the Com
mercial Club Tuesday evening the
matter was mentioned but no further
action was taken.
The officers of the club are of the
opinion that the auto owners about
the city should take prominent part
in this matter. 1t seems that about
all that is needed is for some one to
start something.

MEMORIAL SUNDAY


The Memorial Service held in the
Congregational Church were largely
attended and most impressive. The
church was beautifully decorated
with fiages and flowers in honor of the
occasion. The old soldiers, their wives
and widows occupied seats Of honor
at the front of the church on the north
side and members Of the N. D. N. G..
opposite. Rev. E. s. Shaw spoke feel
ingly and appreciatively Of the SER
vice. rendered the Country by the vet
erns and paid compliment to the
wives who did in some cases the hard
er task Of staying at home and caring
for the home. He hoped that the time
would not come when there would be
war again but whether peace or war
that the young men before him would
discharge the duties of citizenship
with the same courage and loyalty
that characterized the soldiers of
61-65. The choir furnished most ex-
cellent music.
The evening service was varied
from the usual program and was made
up of music and recitations and that
the audience which filled the house en-
joyed it, was evidenced by hearty ap-
plause.

ADDRESSED
49, THE FARMERS
DELEGATE TO WASHINGTON
CONFERENCE SPEAKS AT
FARMERS MEETING

A meeting of the farmers of the
Muddy Valley was held at the Palm
er school house last Sunda.', at which
time John Bruegger addressed the
meeting relative to his visit to Wash
ington in the interests of the Water
Users under the Williston project.
Mr.. Bruegger stated that the pro-
ject here is a great deal different
from any other project in the coun-
try. In older sections the farmers
under the projects have been practic-
ing irrigation for a long time, and
have. learned how to apply the water
to the land to a better advantage.
Farmers under the older projects are
not interested in locating in this Sec
tion, while eastern farmers generally
prefer to farm where they depend
on the rainfall for their crops. The
Water Users Association delegates
present objected to special conces-
sion being made to the Wiiliston pro-
ject, stating that other projects would
then want special concessions. Mr..
Bruegger in the conference asked that
the report Of the army engineers, as
made number of years ago relative
to the local project, be put into op-
GRAFTON. Also that if the government
would undertake to sell all the land
under the project not more than fifty
cents on the dollar could he realized
on the investment. That some good
will come from the conference was the
opinion of Mr.. Bruegger and he ad-
vised all farmers who have land under
the project here to get it in shape in
order 10 be ready to take advantage
of the best provisions made. That
the farmers will be able to bet eight
percent money in the near future to
enable them to put in stock and in
vest in other enterprises, was the
opinion expressed.

WILLISTON 2;
STANLEY 0
LOCALS WON FIRST OF SEASON
GOOD EXHIBITION OF
BASEBALL

Williston won a splendid eight in
ming game from Stanley Sunday af.
ternoon on the local diamond. The
game was terminated at the eighth
on account of rain with the score
to 0 in favor Of the locals.
In the very first inning the locals
started in and scored two runs, the
only two scored during the game, and
which proved enough to win. In Will
istons half Of this inning Krucken-
berg hooked one for two stations, Cut
ting drew q pass, Bruegger made a
neat sacrifice advancing the two men
on bases and McAllister was credited
with a single on fielder's choice,
scoring two runs on the play, Cutting
scoring on G. Zwinner's throw to the
plate.
Hougen, the visiting pitcher, was
relieved in the first inning by Joe Cor
rigan, after the only two runs of the
game had been scored off him.
Doc Spillane and Glen Moon, Of Mi
not, formed the Wiliiston battery.
Spillane held the visitors to five hits,
and Moon gave him gilt-edged sup
port behind the bat. The work of this
crack Minot battery was highly eff
cient and the visitors stood little
chance of winning against their splen-
did work.
The attendance at the game was
small and those who missed the open
ing game of the season lost an oppor-
tunity to see q good exhibition of
baseball. The playing of the entire
team revealed the fact that the locals
can put up game worth while all the
time.

ONE PRISONER
MADE GETAWAY
TWO, TRIED TO GIVE SHERIFF
SLIP BUT ONE IS RE-
CAPTURED.

One day last week two prisoners,
who have been in the county Jail for
some time, tried to make their get
away from Sheriff Erickson, and one
of them succeeded. The other pris-
oner was captured at Ray.
Since Sheriff Erickson has been in
Office he has been practicing the labor
system for his charges, whenever he
thought it practical, and in cases
where the offense was not of q serious
nature. One day last week with this
idea in view he took two prisoners to
Springbrook to do some work. A.
Callahan and Ed Clark were the men,
both in Jail on a charge of selling IL
quor. The prisoners had promised
by all that was good not to attempt
to get away, but while the sheriff
was not watching them freight pull
ed through Springbrook and the men
made a dash to board the rattler.
Later g. the next stop the train was
searched but no trace of the men
could be found.
That night about midnight the sher-
iff and his deputy went to Ray by
auto and while searching the railway
yards there found Callahan. Clark
could not be found, and is still at
large. The men were serving 90 day
sentences for illegal sales Of liquor
and Callahan is the man who sold
States Attorney Burdick the whiskey
some time ago..
It is understood that Great North
ern detectives are wanting Callahan
and will take charge of him a. soon
as he finishes his term in the Williams
county Jail.
