GARDEN VALLEY SOCIAL

The growing interest in the school
house as a social center last Saturday
evening manifested itself in very
pleasant and profitable literary and
social evening at the Garden Valley
school house. The ladies Aid recently
organized was in charge of the pro-
gram of arrangements and the exer-
cises were presided over by the Presi-
dent Mrs. H. P. Lampman. Recita-
tions, songs and dialogue were
given by the young people. Willis
ton people assisted in the program
as follows :-Readings by Mrs. w. c.
Francis and Dolly Doughty; A solo
by Mrs. E. S. Shaw and short ad-
dress by Rev. E. S. Shaw on the
school house as a Social, Religious and
Educational Center.
A number of fancy and useful ar
ticles made by the Aid were sold to
the highest bidder as were also boxes
containing the usual good things to
eat-sales amounting to upwards OF
seventy dollars evidenced the gener.
osity Of the people and the appeal OF
the stomach-to say nothing OF the
desire to eat from the box prepared
by a certain lady. Messrs Lampman
and Shaw acted as auctioneers. Part
of the proceeds were given to Rev
Shaw as an appreciation for his SER
vices and part will be used for local
improvement.

"THE FOUR ARTISTS

The appearance of "The Four Ar
tists," the second number of the lee
ture course, at Gates Hall Monday
evening had been anticipated by the
music loving people of this city as
something out of the ordinary, be-
cause of the unusually impressive tes-
timonials. 1t was something of a dis
appointment to find just an ordinary,
pleasant entertainment, enjoyable IN
many ways, but not up to the high
standard the Dunbar Quartette had
set. Klare M. DeVine was very pleas,
ing as a reader, especially in her child
impersations, and both singers used
a clear-cut enunciation which gave the
audience the benefit of the words OF
their songs, a privilege not always
enjoyed. 1t required a sacrifice of
tone quality, however, or seemed TO-,
and those who came to be filled with
unusually good music went away lit
tie hungry.
The third number of the course will
be "The Military Girl" January 9th.

PRESENT THE
ROSE MAIDEN
COWEN'S CANTATA TO BE GIVEN
BY CHORAL UNION THANKS
GIVING AFTERNOON

On Thanksgiving afternoon at four
o'clock, at the Orpheum Theatre, the
Williston Choral Union, assisted by
the orchestra, both under the direc-
ton of Prof. Onstad, will present F.
H. Governs cantata entitled "The Rose
Maiden" The prices of admission
will be thirty-five cents for adults
and twenty-five cents for all Of High
School age or under.
The arguments of the cantata is as
follows:
The Queen of the Flower Fairies,
weary of a life of unbroken calm,
prays of the newly returned Spring
that he will bestow upon her also the
gift of love that he bestows upon man.
He warns her of the risk she runs,
but finally yields to her entreaties by
changing her while she sleeps into
the form of beautiful girl. Under
the name of Roseblossom she wanders
through the world to find the love
that she seeks, and meets with girl
who, having been betrayed and de-
serted by her lover, loses her senses
and dies broken-hearted. But, un-
deferred from her search, .Roseblos-
SONS becomes the wife of a forester,
with whom she lives for time in
such perfect happiness that she can
not survive his death. The elves be-
wall the fate of their queen, and the
final chorus sums up the whole:
"But yet, O God, we praise Thee,
Who blendest night and morn;
Too lovely were thy roses,
Were they without a thorn"
The solo parts are for soprano, ten
or, alto and bass, together with duets
and trios, but the crowning part of
the work is among the choruses and
the orchestration is beautiful. The
famous Bridal Chorus" is something
no one ought to miss.

BRIQUET PLANT
IN OPERATION
MINOT PLANT EXPECTS TO BE
RUNNING NEXT WEEk-POS.
SIBILITIES FOR STATE

It is announced that the manage
ment of the Minot Briquet plant ex-
pect to have the factory in operation
by next week. The machinery is all
up and the men are busy this week
getting the belts adjusted. The lig-
mite is to be mined at Burlington
about eight miles from the plant
where it will be coked before ship
ping to the briQuet plant.
The price of the fuel has been fixed
at ten dollars ton for the present
and it is claimed this price will very
likely be reduced after the plant has
been in operation for some time. In
the manufacture of these briquets the
company is following the process rec
commended by Dean Babcock OF the
State University.
In addition to the briquets the gas
produced at the coking ovens can be
used for heating and lighting and the
progress of the Minot plant will be
watched with interest by every COM
munity in North Dakota and especial
ly nthe western half where the great
deposits of Ignite lie. Williston will
be especially interested as we have
within few miles of our city some
of the greatest Ignite deposits in the
state and should the Minot plant be a
success one is sure to be built here.
With briquet plant in operation
the question of the practical use Of the
gas would be taken up next and this
would be great thing for Williston
or any city so situated as to make its
use practical. The gas could be used
under boilers in buildings where steam
heat is used and this would make an
ideal way of heating as very little
attention would have to be given to
the plant after lighting up in the
fall. Several western cities where
gas is available use it in this way now
and all the owners of the buildings
have to do after lighting up the
burners is to regulate them accord
ing to the weather conditions and to
see that the boiler has sufficient
water. In addition to this it could
be used for numerous other purposes
Just the same as natural gas.
