ELECTRIC ROAD
A POSSIBILITY
FARMERS NORTH OF WILLISTON
WANT ELECTRIC LINE-EN-
DORSED BY CLUB

From time to time there has been
considerable agitation and talk about
a farmers electric line running north
from Williston any where from fifty
to sixty miles and it would seem that
the time is about ripe for some def
mite move. The farmers north of here
have had several meetings and they
have another one a week from Satur-
day. The question of the electric
line was discussed at the meeting Of
the Commercial Club Monday evening
and when a standing vote was taken
as to the stand of the club members
there was unanimous vote in favor
of the proposition. Mr.. Arthur of the
reclamation service was present and
was invited to 60 to the next meeting
at Rudser as the guest of the Com
mercial club and give the farmers a
talk on the question of electric power
for the road. All members of the club
were made members of a committee
to attend the meeting and all who can
possibly make the trip are urged to
do so. The meeting is called for 2
o'clock.
Farmers along the proposed route
within six miles of the right of way
and to subscribe one dollar per acre
and those from six to twelve miles
fifty cents per acre. This it is believ-
ed will provide capital enough to get
the right of way and do the grading
and plans for the raising of the addi-
tional capital needed will be discuss
ed at the Rudser meeting.

Washington, April Ex-Governor
Colquitt Of Texas today sent to Rep
resentative Garner, who Immediately
submitted it to the president. tele-
gram declaring that if it was the
purpose of President Wilson to do
other than blockade the ports Of
Tampico and Vera Cruz, it was i'm
perative that there be an immediate
invasion of Mexico so as to take pos
session of Matamoros, New Laredo
and C. p. Diaz and Juarez.
Governor Colquitt explained that
there are now on the Mexican border
$4,000 to 10000 Mexican refugees,
who threatened to become a menace
to the United States, and that the
taking of these towns would afford
the only protection from them.
Representative Garner replied that
it was unlikely that Mexico would be
invaded.

TALK CREAMERY
NEXT SATURDAY
MEETING TO BE HELD SATUR.
DAY IN COURT ROOM TO
TALK CREAMERY

A special meeting Of business men
and farmers will be held Saturday af-
ternoon at o'clock in the Court
Room for the purpose of discussing
the creamery proposition. Farmers
representing almost every section of
the country tributary to Williston as
a creamery center will be present.
Much interest has been shown and
judging from reports the creamery is
practically assured. It will mean q
great deal to both Williston and the
farmers. It will bring good business
to the city and will give the farmers
an assured market for their cream and
will thus encourage diversified farm
ing and dairying.

MEXICOLAND OF

THE LAND OF PRESENT TROU'
LES-THE LAND WHERE III
IS ALWAYS AFTERNOON

The following article is taken from
the Gorgan County (Ohlo) Democrat
and will we believe be of interest TO
our readers and especially so owing to
the intense interest now IN the MeXl-
can situations:
BY M. J. Brown
This letter will tell you something
about Mexico and the Mexicans-a lit
tie of the inside stuff that perhaps you
don't know.
If l was hunting nerve sanitarlum,
I would 90 to Mexico, for there is
never a jar in that country.
1 see you smile, but l am not writ
ing of war days. know Villa is jar
ring Huerta and Huerta President
Wilson, but l am speaking or ordln-
ary life in the Republic.
Everything is soft and easy in Mex
leo, from the pronunciation to "doll-
ing" "Gringo." A Mexican is never
strenuous. If he sticks a knife into
YOUR vitals he will do it with quiet
ness and grace. 1t is a land of rest,
music and quietness. Get onto enough
of the lingo to make yourself under
stood, go in punches of two or three,
and you can have the quietest and yet
most interesting trips you ever dream
ed of.
The whole country is simply satur-
ated with lore, traditions, ruins and
mysteries, and you can find most any
thing that appeals to you, from Cor
tez love affairs to cock fight. Just
try to comprehend that Mexico was
on the job when the abandoned cliff
homes Of Arizona were running wide
open-inhabited by men who builded
great pyramids and stone cities, but
who put no historic records in tin
boxes when they laid the corner
stones. They left the ruins but no
names behind. And quite modern in
comparison with the mysterious old
ruins, is the time of the Toltecs, who
in the year 648, came north from
somewhere" And this word "some-
where" has to account for lot of
weak spots in Mexico's early history.
But l am not going to write his
tory or traditions. I'll bring you
down to the present so quick that it
will jar even a greaser.
The Toltecs disappeared as myster-
iously as they showed up. Like the
cliff dwellers, they left no history Of
their coming or going, and Mexican
history jumps you from 1850 to 1900
at a pace that exceeds all modern

MANY FARMERS
PURCHASE SILOS
TWENTY TWO WILLIAMS COUN-
TY FARMERS PURCHASE
CEMENT SILOS

A. C. McFernsworth, state repre-
sentative for the Fargo Silo Company,
assisted by the local representative,
w. w. Keltner, canvassed this section
of the county during the past week
and sold twenty two cement stave
silos to the farmers. These silOs are
made of cement slaves two feet and
a half long, ten inches wide and two
and a half inches thick. The edges
of the slaves are concave and convex
thus fitting together something like
matched lumber. They are cemented
and the silo is bound with steel hoops
every fifteen inches. The inside of
the silo is plastered with cement
plaster, washed down and then treated
with a patent enamel which makes it
perfectly water tight and is guaran-
teed as such by the company.
Mr.. McFernsworth said that he ex-
pected to have several more orders
and that they would deliver all the
silos at one time. This would take a
train of twenty five to thiry cars and
the train would be covered with BAN
ners stating where the silos were 60
ing. He expects to make delivery
about the last Of June. A list of
those purchasing silos follows:-
U. L. Burdick, two 21O ton silos; J.
C. Stewart, one 152 ton silo; w. II.
Denny, one 100 ton silo; VIM. McChes-
ney, one 100 ton silo; J. L. Brown, one

CONSIDER THE cAIIcE

There is much real Information
tha! may be gained tron. a circus.
For one thing, it is a marvel how
the cooks can get up a first-class
tah'-de-hote dinner for a; city of
i.2oo persons that drops down
almost out of the skies. The meals
served under the cook tent back
of the "big top" are plentiful,
Isavory and tempting. Circus peo-
pie, especially the acrobats, have
regular diet and cannot eat too
much before performance, but
always get at least one hearty
meal a day, and at no time suffer
or something to eat.
Passing from the cook tent on a
warm, sunny afternoon, we may
see the bearded lady darning her
hose and other such evidences of
iomesticity all of which give, a
clearer idea OF the humanness of
the great travelling entertain
ment, which is as distinctly Amer
ican as baseball. draw poker, or
primary elections.
There is another feature of the
circus that always appeals to
|some persons, therein nameless.
This particular feature is the
thirst of the camel. No flaming
posters tell of this marvel. but
truly wonderful ii is---and what
would not some persons give for
that thirst! thirst!
The stomach of a camel, we
are told, is divided into four COM
partments, and the walls OF these
are lined with cells which can be
Opened or closed at will by the

his thirst thirst tut ;t is filing fiiii up mis- reser-
voirs. When he drinks, the canel
drinks and drinks and drinks and
tho small boy and the old topper
look on in undisguised amazement
and admiration. AS soon as each
cistern is filled, it is CLOSED until
the day of need thereof. How
many; an .autemobilist on along
trip would like to be constructed
ike a carnel,-unless there are
numerous springs along the way.
For as the .camel's thirst needs
shaking, he merely empties one of
the water cells into it's stomach,
and we are told that one or two
cells hold sufficient for a day. The
camel can go Tor six days without
drinking. which is very necessary
in crossing deserts where wells
are hundreds OF miles apart.
The camel is only one of ma
ture's wonders in the circus. For
instance, take the noble giraffe.
With that long guiiet or aeso-
phagus of his, consider how long
ne is permitted to enjoy a drink
OF water. Gee it is bully.
