DEDICATION TO Be DELAYED
Holidays and Uncertainty of Weather

Court House Till Summer.


Court House Till Summer.
The Grand Forks county court
house will not be dedicated until next
summer.
This definitely has been determined
by the county boardl. 1t was an
nounced some time ago that the etruc-
ture probably would not be dedicated
until then, but the question was con-
sidered again.
The commissioners thought that the
winter would be a bad season for the
dedication services. The holidays
make it impossible to dedicate the
structure before the first of the year
and after that the weather is too un-
certain.
Arrangements have been made
however, to escort all visitors through
the building.
County Auditor Hans Anderson has
been appointed "official guide" In
cidentally, the commissioners an
nounce that tipping tho guide will not
be permitted.

What is CastorTa
Excellent Thing In Woman.

While the opinion so general abroad
as to the horrible shrillness and gen
eral unpleasantness of the voices Of
American women is, without a doubt,
foolishly exaggerated, there can be no
question but that the really beautiful
voice in this country is a rarity. OF
not one woman In so can it be truth
fully said Her voice was ever soft,
gentle and low; an excellent thing in
woman" Women of refinement polish
their finger nails, visit their hairdress-
ers regularly, pay scrupulous attention
to all the details of their toilet-and
utterly neglect what should be their
greatest charm-their speaking tones.
The low, sweet voice throws all shrill,
hfgh-pitched demonstrations into the
background, and makes them infanttle
and ridiculous. Listen, just for an en-
tightening experiment, to a nervous,
overweight woman arguing in a
shrieking tone with another who is
calm, self-possessed and low-voiced.
And then, If you are a typical Ameri-
can shrieker, go to your home and
make a vow to think twice before you
speak once.

MODERN WHALING SHIP UGLY
Naked, Unlocking Craft That is Built
for Hard SeNdce-Gun an
interesting Feature.

Vancouver, B. C-Every year a
number Of whaling ships go out from
British Columbia ports to engage IN
hunting the monster mammals to be
found in large numbers along the
North Pacific coast The changed
conditions in the whale fishing busi-
ness and the style and equipment OF
the craft employed in the industry,
as compared with those Of a few gen
erations ago, are of special interest to
people who follow the career Of those
who pursue this peculiar business
Some Of the whale fishing boats
were overhauled in the Vancouver
docks recently for the seasons run,
and it is interesting TO note that the
bottoms Of the craft are painted green
instead of red, as was formerly the
custom. This is to prevent the whales
from seeing so plainly the approach
Of the ship. as they see red paint IN
der the water, and for that reason all
the whalers now have green under
works.
In general appearance the whaler is
a naked, ugly craft The bows fare
high to give room for gun platform,
and the stern is cut away so that it
rides low, giving the screw a deep
drive. The homework is iron, with
narrow navigating platform and a lit
tie steering box on the top Of the
fore end OF the house. The gun is the
most interesting feature Of these
whalers. It is a short-tubed cannon
on swivel bearings and discharged
with Krupp firing screw It is car
ried on a long gun platform on the
ships bow, and is pointed with a
wooden hand stock.
The platform is rugged with grips
for the gunners' feet in a heavy sea.
The gun is loaded with an iron crow,
pointed with a thin-shaped time shell,
and with four hinged barbs fastened
to the shaft with rope yarn When
the harpoon is fired into the whale
the fastenings are released, the barbs
open and the shell explodes; the shaft
Of the harpoon is slotted and a ring
runs in the slot; from the ring a wire
line Is coiled in q case on the plat
form and extends to a winch near the
gun carriage. The winch is used to
pay out and reel in the line when the
whale has been harpooned and it Is
fighting for its life.
When the mammal is dead 1t is
drawn alongside the ship by Keeling
In the wire cable. Air is then pumped
into the whale through a hose with a
hollow lance nozzle which is attached
to the engine of the ship. The air
causes the mammal to float high out
OF the water and renders it easy to
| tow. Some nine or ten Of these whal-
| ing ships cruise this coast each sea
son. Some OF the whales found in the
| North Pacific waters weigh as much
as 80 tons. None Of the flesh is used
for food, although it is said to be
| very good, palatable and healthful.

CAUSE OF CONFUSION
Alike to Newspaper Man and Lady
He Was Sent to Interview.

Names can produce sometimes q
great deal Of confusion. As when Flor
ence D. White, now one Of the head
men Of the New York World, went to
a hotel In St Louis when he was q
reporter on the Post Dispatch to see
a woman on business.
His card read, Florence D. White,
and the woman naturally inferred
that Florence was OF her own sex.
Therefore she asked the visitor to
come up. And as she was not dressed
TO receive one Of the other sex, the
climax was embarrassing.
A visitor from Columbus was tell
ing a story OF Ireland, the clever car
toonist Of the Columbus Dispatch Ire
lands work is known to every man,
woman and child in Columbus, and TO
a great many outside that city.
Last spring Ireland went on a va
cation trip to the South. A few days
later a teacher OF geography in one
Of the schools Of Columbus said to heT
class: Can any little girl tell me
where Ireland is?'

Grievance Of suffraaIsn,.

One OF the grievances OF Euffragists

women as parents. A couple OF days

far as she knew, gone down In the
Empress OF Ireland, applied to the
Willesden magistrates for a vaccina-
ton exemption for her infant son She
was Informed from the bench that the
exemption order could not be granted
until the fathers death was legally
proved, as the law did not recognize
her as the parent of the child" II

rank as the parent Of her children it
