 My long time association with him, ia public an Ii in private, has given me an exceptional opportunity to SD ak of him undefstandingly from many view. points. As man, and as citizen, whether in the legislative forum, in halls of Justice, in his treatment of the needy, the unfortunate and the erring, or tn soeie, ' in sli these varied lines of thought and action, have seen and weighed him, and in no respect has he failed to merit and retain my admira. tion and atiectionate regard.

which is to be erected at the south end

mary and Summer streets. The addition
is to be built to house the pipe organ
which the church purchased of st. Paul's

cause the cold weather hampered the

it was deemed advisable to postpone in
stalling the organ until the ground
thawed. Now that the excavators are
free to start the preliminary work, the
erection of suitable building will be
rushed as rapidly as possible. Speeifi-
cations call for two-story annex with
lateral dimensions of nine and l6 feet.
The walls are to be IL inches thick,
with brick construction. In it's style the
annex is to conform to that of the
church building. As soon as the walls
are completed and the top enclosed by
temporary roof, some Of the heavier
parts Of the organ will be placed in
position. Experts from an organ fac
tory will superintend the work and the
church hopes to have the big organ in
place early in the summer.

NEW BELF|ELD SCHOOL

This is a cut of the fine new school
building of Beliield dedicated Fri
Eday evening, October End. The
building itself cost over $4,000 and
with the ground, fixtures and furnish
ings is valued upwards of 100000. A.

school board and George w. Day is
principal. The other members of the

Ftains much interesting history in re-
gard to the schools at Belfield and

E. Haney, ex-president Of the board,
at the laying of the corner stone the
past summer:
"Going back to territorial days we
find that on July 9th, 1883, the
county commissioners divided the
county which then included all of the
territory now included in the counties
Of Dunn, Stark, Hettinger and
Adams, in four school districts and
that Dickinson held a large part of
this and in this district Belfield was
located. Early in the COS the south
part of township 1879 and all of 1873
were cut off to comprise District No.
10. Our present District No. 10,
was divided later, presumably in 1897,
under Supt. Clark. This district
comprises all of township 1909 and
sections 1-12 inclusive of 1899, Bel
field being located in section 5, or
about the southwest corner of our
district.
In the fall of 1887 the pioneer
homes had grown numerous enough
to warrant asking for school privi-
Ileges. .
Thomas Evans had been appointed
as county superintendent. He in
turn appointed w. E. King, Frank

Major General Hugh L. Scott, Who
Was in Topeka Today.

When the Golden State Limited pulled
into Topeka this afternoon. the COM
ma nder of Uncle Sans troops and sew
eral of his aides stepped out upon the
Rock Island depot platform. Despite
the unpleasant weather, General Scott
walked about until the train pulled out.
A reporter asked him about the trou-
BILE at Naco. DO you think it will be
settled in a satisfactory manner for the
United States,' the general was asked.
YES" he replied with some emphasis
Il do not look for any serious results
down there ,-'s-a -5------~@ss ..---- --.
General Scott explained that he was
making a hurried trip to Mexico to
"ask the gentlemen in Mexico to move
their war IL little farther south so it
will not annoy the Americans there"
He will visit the rival commanders
directing the fighting at Naco, Sonora,
and will attempt to prevent trouble
there from developing into an inter-
national difficulty.
"It was thought that my acquaint-
ance with the Mexican commanders
might make it possible for me, in an
individual way, to see if their trou-
bles might not be brought to con-
clusion without injury to the United
States" General Scott said.
Just before boa ding the train to
take him south. he remarked that he
was going to stay on the job at Naco
until the trouble is definitely settled.
H. seemed optimistic about the pros
poets there and spoke as il this cOun-
try will not be involved in anything
serious with the neighboring republic.
