FARGO WELCOMES
BISHOP J. P. TYLER
LARGE CROWD AT GETHSEMANE
CATHEDRAL TO HEAR FIRST
ADDRESS OF NEW HEAD

Fargo, N. D., Feb. 23.---John Poyntz
Tyler, recently consecrated bishop for
the diocese of North Dakota, preach
ed in the state for the first time yes
terday morning. Every pew at Geth-
semane cathedral was filled and the
frank, open manner with which the
new bishop expressed his apprecia-,
tion of the manner in which he had
been received and told Of the plans he
has for the work to be carried on IN
his district, carried with it the ap-
pealing force Of the works of a strong
man.
Dean Dewitt Bowling, who was for
merly associated with Bishop Tyler IN
Philadelphia, spoke of that associa-
ton in presenting the bishop to the
parishioners, and spoke with feeling
of the thrill of Joy which he expert
enced when advised that his old asso-
ciate would be bishop of this diocese.
"When the New York assemblage
laid hands on me and ordered me to
come to North Dakota, was confus-
ed" said Bishop Tyler. ~ never
dreamed for a moment that that as
semblage would call me to fill a po-
sition so fraught with responsibilities
and cares. but at the same time was
filled with delights and joys unnum-
bered at the position l at present oc-
cupy. After conference with my
wife we decided that it would be weak
ness not to accept the call and | re-
signed my parish and sent in my ac-
ceptance and am here.
'T am not going to try to fill the
place which my predecessor occupied.
To attempt to do such thing is fool
ishness but I am going to make
place O fmy own. My aim and am
| bition is to be a good and faithful
bishop.
"While serving you here shall try
to win a place in your affections and
heart as you have in mine. | am
here at YOUR service for Jesus Christ's
sake, and I hope to serve you to the
! fullest extent under his guidance.
"The relation between myself and
Dean Dowling have been in the past
the most pleasant, and it is the will
, Of God that we are again brought to-
gether. ! feel in myself hearty
resnonse to the attitude of the DEAN"
! The new bishop thanked the mem
bers of the parish for the manner in
which ne had been received. for the
flowers and telegrams received upon
his acceptance Of the Office but most
of all for the special services held
throughout the diocese, asking that
the blessings of God might accom-
pany him in his new work.
"I come to you gladly and willing
ly, and propose by the grace of God
to fill my position to the best of my
ability"
Following these remarks the bish-
op preached a powerful sermon, TAX
ing as his text portion of the SER
mon on the mount.

REMITTED FOR
DAMAGE TO BARGE
TIMBER RATS DAMAGED REC
LAMATION BARGE LAST AIIG
UST-GUTHRIE & co. PAY

On February 10, the local office of
the Reclamation Service received a
check from A. Guthrie & Company,
railroad contractors, St. Paul, in full
payment for damages to the Recla-
nation Service pumping barge on
August 21, 1913, caused by the colli-
sion of two timber RATS being towed
down the Missouri River with the
pumping barge which was then an
chored and in operation at it's usual
summer pumping station. The pay
ment of this claim has more than or
binary interest in that it confirms
the right of the Reclamation Service
to anchor the barge at its station, and
fixes the responsibility of traffic in
the river and the necessity for proper
observance of traffic rules in the chan.

ALL INTERESTED
IN GREAT CONTEST
INTEREST IN CONTEST INCREAS.
ING IN EVERY DISTRICT
SPECIAL MARCH PRIZES

The great piano contest has been
ruling now for a little over two
months and the interest increases
with each passing week. Candidates
in every one of the four districts are
getting buster each day and evtrv ac-
tive candidate is hustling Nth an eve
on the fine prize ni.sano that is to 60
to the leader IN her district.
Elsewhere in this paper a list of
the candidates can be seen with their
standings. This is the standing as
counted last week and next week the
gains will be given again.
Contestants at present have their
eyes on the special prizes to be given
away March 18th and March 31st.
The prizes of silver ware to be given
away March 18th are we'll worth a
great deal of diligent effort and the
watch offered for March 31st is an ex-
ira fine prize.
The contest is making new friends
for the Williston Graphic, Anderson
Hardware, Kather's Drug Store, As
bury Grocery Co., and the Orpheum
Theatre and incidentally it is bring
ing in a lot of new business. This new
business is, of course, welcome, but
better than the business itself is the
knowledge that Williston isn't so slow
after ali! The interest taken in the
contest and the support given the can
didates shows that the people Of Will
liams and Mckenzie counties are COM
mercially alive and true-blue and all
that they want in order to prove their
take-hold Land -push-spirit is an oppor-
tunity. This is the spirit that means
more business and money in the bank
for everybody. And if this same spiri,
is shown in all undertakings, public
and private, that are made by our peo-
pie, richer and happier community
is the sure and certain result.
All votes once polled and listed are
not transferable. No candidate car
drop out and throw her votes TO an.
other contestant. We make this
statement anticipating possible in.
quiries along this line. The only
ways by which piano votes can be OBJ
tanned are through subscriptions tt

firms mentioned above who are Civ
ing votes on each dollar purchas.

GRAY LEAVES G.. N.
FOR FRISCO LINES
WILL RESIGN PRESIDENCY OF
GREAT NORTHERN MARCH
FIRST FOR NEW JOB

st. Paul, Feb. 21.--Carl H. Gray,
who will resign March 1 from the
presidency of the Great Northern
railway, will become president of the
St. Louis & San Francisco railway
as soon as that road passes out Of the
hands Of receivers.
This announcement was made au-
thoritatively in St. Louis, the head
quarters Of the Frisco and of it's re-
ceivers. Mr.. Gray left Thursday for
Chicago and probably will confer with
officials and receivers of the Frisco
both in St. Louis and New York be-
fore returning to St. Paul.
On recent trip to the east, Mr..
Gray spent several days in New York
in conference with the reorganization
committee of the Frisco. He also
spent short time in st. Louis at the
general Offices of the road. 1t is be-
lieved the offer was made him on this
trip.
1t is believed by those familiar with
Frisco finances that the reorganiza-
ton Of the road will be complete by
the end of the year at the latest and
probably much before The road is
now without a president. The receiv-
ers are James W. Luske of st. Paul,
w. B. Biddle and w. G.. Nixon.
Mr.. Gray began his railway career
on the Frisco as telegraph operator,
and remained with the road until
1911, when he became president of the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle and 9TH
er Hill subsidiaries in the Pacific
Northwest When he left the Frisco,
he was senior vice president, in
charge Of operation. He was pro-
tege Of B. F. Yoakum, former presi-
dent of the Frisco, for many years.
When Mr.. Gray returns to St. Louis
he will be at his old home among for
mer friends.

SIX AMENDMENTS
BEFORE VOTERS
SUFFRAGE LEADER IS AMONG
THOSE WHICH WILL BE CON-
SIDERED AT ELECTIONS

Six proposed constitutional amend
ments will be voted in the coming
state election, according to the notice
just issued by Thomas Hall, secretary
of state.
Most important of the amendments,
and the one that win create the great
est contest, is that for woman suf-
rage. The suffrage amendment diff
fers from other amendments of the
constitution in that it requires fav-
orable action by only one legislature
to place it before the electorate, while
all other amendments require favor
able action by two successive assem-
blies.
Two measures with reference to
the initiative and referendum will be
considered. One provides for max
ing the principal applicable only to
statutes. this being known as the Bes-
-Overson measure, while the
other, knows as the Gibbens bill, makes
the principal applicable only to the
constitution.
Another important amendment
would give the commonwealth the au-
thority to establish and operate ter
minal grain elevators within the state.
The Welo highway: bill gives the
legislature power to make appropria-
tons of public monies for road con-
struction. Under the constitution, the
hands of legislators are tried so far
as making appropriations of that ma
ture is concerned.
Should the Welo bill be adopted, it
would open the way to the establish
ment of system of state highways.

this law should be used by big bust

yet this Is the actual situation.

against a competitor who shows by his
actions that his ultimate aim and pur-
