Spoilers"
Here April 9Th
Coming to the Opera House on
April 8, 1915. William Far
um Big Hit in "The Spoilers. -

Maybe you are a movie fan and
maybe you are not. If you are
not it is all the more reason you
should see THE SPOILERS
which will be shown at the Beach
Opera House on Saturday, March
9. Movies may come and go, but
those who see THE SPOILERS
will always remember it as the
best, bar none, ever seen in this
city. One wonders how the pro-
ducers could take Rex Beach s
popular book, by the same name,
and reproduce it so faithfully on
the screen. To describe the pic
ture and do it justice is impos-
sible. From the time Helen Ches-
ter arrives in Alaska and takes
such a prominent part in the busi-
ness and personal affairs of Glen
lister and Dextry, to the final
scene, which is beautiful in
every sense of the word. "THE
SPOILERS" is vividly told
story for those who appreciate
red blooded men and women
Every phase of human emotion is
shown and in such a manner that
it gives lasting impression.
The coming of the Law, the
law that replaces the old six
shooters" happens just before
me of the dramatic points of the
tory. Glenister. driven to des-
piration in trying to save his mine
from the political crooks of
WASHINGTON, goes to the Gamb-
ling Hall and CANDLES in vain
effort to drown his troubles. He
wins until huge piles of chips are
on the table before him. At this
point Cherry Mlacotte and Bron-
cho Kid plot to stop his mad win
nings. The kid takes the dealers
chair in the faro games while
Cherry assists him. Glenister
loses all. 1t is an intense mo-
ment when he rushes from the
chair and offers to bet his share
in the Midas mine against the
gambling outfit of B:onoho kid
As the Kid turns the fatal card
which takes Glenister last
cent. Cherry dramatically comes
to the rescue.
The trouble is, you can't ap-
preciate it unless you see it. Will
liam Farum as Glenister and Miss
Kathlyn Williams as Cherry Mall
cote takes the leading parts.
There are others prominent, such
as Dextry. Helen, Slapjack, the
crooked judge and Politician. and
the Broncho Kid.

Northwest is In
Good Condition

Minneapolis. Mimi, March %.
The northwest today is in bet
ter condition financially, CONNER
cially and in an agricultural way
than it ever was.
This was the optomistic report
brought to St. Paul todav by JIM.
Hanaford, president of the North
ern Pacific railroad, upon his re-
turn from a two weeks inspection
rip of the road.
The northwest will see a larg-
er acreage planted to wheat this
year than ever BEFORE" said MIR.
Hannaford.
The high prices of grain will
tend to extend the acreage under
cultivation and divert land from
other usage. A great deal of fall
blowing was done and the coun-
try received an unusually large
fall of snow, which is now melting
well." 4 ri -: ...,n1

Ask Citizen Aid
in Boosting State

MIR. Editor: lnasmuch as the
immigration law does not become
operative till July !, and of course
none of its funds available till
that time. l'ss.aye determined to
ask the newspapermen of the
state to assist in doing a little pre-
liminary work which might be
termed the Personal Letter Inn
migration Movement" 1t is for
each editor to ask the people with
in the reach of his circulation to
write letters to friends and news
papers in their old home in their
respective states, telling them of
their successes; of the wonderful
resources of North Dakota; how
they raise corn, clover. alfalfa,
cattle, hogs; of the nice, pure at
mosphere with its refreshing quail
tiles for sleep; that the billiards.
which the eastern papers adver-
tise so diligently do not occur; of
the long hours of daylight and the
abundance of sunshine; that this
state has far more coal than any
state in the union, which is a pos
tive fact; of how North Dakota
is the last state in the union to
feel hard times and the first to
recover, and many other items of
interest and fact which may sug-
gest themselves.
1t will be over four months be-
fore the immigration commission
IAN begin effective work, and in
the meantime at least $4,000 let
ters could be written to friends in
he east.
Fix up this appeal in your own
language, and tell them if they
will send to this office the address
ses of friends to whom they would
like to have maps and literature
sent, / will see that they are sup
piled free.
If the press of the state will
unite in this Personal Letter Inn
migration Movement it will
have a tremendous effect for
good. | will appreciate marked
copies of anything you may print
on this subject.
Yours very truly,
R. F. FLINT,
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor and immigration Com
missioner.

Her many friends extend to
the family their most heartfelt

ment.
Those who knew her feel that
they will miss friend endeared
to them by years of pleasant as
sociation and helpful kindness.
That she was spared to reach an
advanced age in full possession of
all her faculties is indeed a cause
for thankfulness. May her mantle
of gentle deeds and loving words
be left with US. and may our last
end be like hers.-Contributed.

accidently kicked the trigger and
the bullet entered the young mans
leg just above the knee and plow-
ed its way into his back where it
lodged. When he was shot he
fell from the sleigh and as the boy
was not strong enough to lift him
back into the vehicle the boy
was compelled to drive back

Busy Year For
R. R. Commission

Bismarck, March 25.-Fair-
mount is to get a new depot. The
residents there have been after a
new depot from the Milwaukee
for some time but without sue
cess.
The company was instructed
by the board of railroad commits
sioners at their last meeting to
prepare plans and submit them
for approval to the railroad COM
missioners by April IS. The
building must be completed by
August | of this year.
Cannot Close
At the same meeting the rail-
road commissioners refused the
applications of the railroads to
close the stations at Hesper and
Karnak. The railroads were anx-
ious to do this but as the receipts
a these two points are in excess of
$4,000 the applications were re-
fused.
From the way things look at
present this is going to be a busy
year for the commission. Ar
rangements were partially COM
pleted at their me=t'ns Friday to
hold a number of hearings at diff
ferent points through :h= state
The first of these will be at
Minot the first week in April.
There are number of complaints
from this section of the state
which will be taken up at the
meeting.
Want Stockyards
A large number of petitions
are being filed each week for the
establishment of stockyards in
various places. This is very graf
flying to the commissioners as
nearly all of the applications are
made because of the large in
crease in hogs, making necessary
increased facilities for handling
t!.,s "siness.
1t is a very clear indication that
the farmers are gradually aband-
oning excessive grain farming and
are taking up stock raising.

torney Tracy Bangs in each in
stance objected to this question
on the grounds that it called for
the conclusion of the witness and
in each case was sustained by
Judge Booth.
Shrinking of Humor
There was also a sprinkling of
humor interspiced with the SER
iousness of the examinations. In
reply to a question put to a jury
man in regard to his acquaintance
with counsel for the defense or
acquaintance with the attorneys in
his home town, if any, the jury
man replied that he knew neither
Tracy nor George Bangs nor
Dudley Nash. and that the town
in which he made his residence af-
forded its citizens no legal talent.
Lucky town" said Hildreth.
Predict Short Trial.
After the jury had been sworn
in by Judge Booth. adjournment
was taken until 1000 o clock this
morning, when the introduction oi
testimony will commence. The
government has eight or nine
witnesses to place on the stand
and the defense has none. None
was placed on the stand in pre-.
vious cases.
1t is the opinion of the court at
taches and those supposed to b.
in a position to know, that the
~ase will come to speedy close

ton that it will terminate with {

TIP FOR USERS OF PROFANITY.
Swearing isiNothins But Habit and
ut A. Very Easily Cured.

Don't swear, or you'll catch no
fish," was a remark made by veneer
able inhahitant to much younger
man, who was emphasizing his talk
by the use Off some rather strong eX-
pletives. No. one was engaged in fish.
ing at the time, nor was piscatorial
excursion being thought of. The sug-
gestion was made In the back room
of cigar store where three or four
men we're talking over current events,
and the utterance made by the aged
citizen was attended, as he afterwards
said, to show his adherence of the
nonsensical use Of "cuss words. "
Then he felt called upon to deliver a
little homily to his companions, all of
whom like himself were we'll known
residents of Washington.
Men incur, habits" he said, that
are really useless, and in my opinion
swearing is one of the worst of them.
One can see why. in moments of pas
sion or great excitement person may
indulge in swearing, but that some
men, and | know several of them,
should break out with a series of
oaths in, ordinary everyday converse
ton strikes me as beyond reason.
81 presume We have all met men
who regard themselves, and are so
considered. gentlemen, who rarely ex-
press a sentiment without swearing.
More than that, they seem rather
proud of their proficiency in this direc-
ton. tell you that swearing is a
habit that little determination will
easily overcome"
The sermon. coming from the lips
of a man whose hair and long beard
were as white as snow, had a good eff.
feet. The cigar merchant was so i'm.
pressed that he declared he would
hang up sign in his back room which
should read: Gentlemen are re-
quested not to swear on these prem.
ises," Whether they allowed them.
selves the privilege of "cussing" else
where, he said, was no affair of his
