Rapid Progress
Made on Spul

Engineer Borresen, who is in
charge of the work on the spur
built to the mines at Haynes
from the main line of the Mil.
waukee reports that rapid pro.
gress is being made on the grad
ing and that it will not be a great
! while before the railway will be
in operation.
Mr.. Borresen expects 10 40 to
Aberdeen the latter part of this
week to be present at a meeting
of the board of directors when
the bids for the material to be
used in the construction of the
spur will be opened and the con.
tracts let. Bv the time that the
material can be procured tn G
grade will be in readiness and
the work of laying the rails will
be rapidly pushed.
This new project will mean a
great deal to the town of Haynes
and we look to see rapid de.
velopement in this progressive
little city. There is almost no
limit to the coal that is owned
bv this mining company and as
soon as the machinery for the
mine is received about 100 men
will be employed.

Soldiers Preference
Law Being Tested

DR.. O. w. Phelps has scored a
point in his test of the state law
which gives an old soldier the
preference right in appointment
to places under the state law.
The supreme court granted an
order, on Friday of last week, re-
turnable on October l6' to show
cause on his application for ap-
pointment to a position on the
state board of medical examln-
ers.
This case is attracting a great
deal of attention throughout the
state and it is generally believed
that the Doctor will win the case.

NORMAL SCHOOL GROUNDS
APPEAR BEAUTIFUL,

The Normal school grounds now ap-
pear very beautiful and within a few
weeks will resemble a park, which in
reality they are. Hundreds of dol
lars worth of trees and shrubbery
were planted during the spring and
the lawns seeded. The grass is just
coming up. New cement walks, cost
ing $4,000, have been built around the
grounds. The school gardens, planted
and cared for by the students, show
the effects of painstaking work. It's
worth ones while to inspect the
campus and gardens of the school.
Pres. A. G. Crane, who knows a thing
or two himself about gardens, is tax
ing great interest in the work.

ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT
AT "NO MANS LAND

Great preparations are being made
by the old settlers for this years pic
mic, which begins next Monday. Doz-
ems of tents have already been erected
and large force of workmen are bust
ly engaged in putting the grounds in
shape. The contractor will have COM
pleted the immense pavilion which the
association erected upon the grounds
this year and by Saturday night no de-
tail will have been omitted in the ap-
pointments that make for the comfort
and convenience of the hosts that will
make "No Mans Land" the mecca of
all pleasure lovers during the coming
fortnight. For the first time in the
history of the association there will be
ample room for the premier event of
every years gathering, the "Horse
Thieves" dance.
Jim johnson and Ed Kelley have
had a new table constructed with sec
ret springs and other appurtenances
which will facilitate the conveyance of
secret signs and signals which they
will employ in playing the Norwe-
gian's favorite. Frank Kirklie, they
say, has quit playing whist. 1t is re-
ported that Frank has lost all inter
est in the game since he has laid aside
his faithful old "dudeen."
For genuine good natured rivalry
and fun galore these yearly gather
ings of the pioneers are becoming
more popular every year. Mr.. and
Mrs. L. D. Cotton have charge of the
refreshment concession again this
year.
The Hovind orchestra of Minot has
been engaged to furnish the music
again this year, which will delight
those who come to enjoy the pleasures
of the dances which occur every year
Let every one turn out for the grand
ball which is to mark the dedication
of the new pavilion next Monday eve
ming.

DfbS ADDRESSED
. GREAT CROWD
GREAT SOCIALIST SPEAKER AP-
PEARED AT DORMAN'S PARK
MONDAY EVENING AND SPOKE
TO THOUSANDS - WAS WELL
RECEIVED.

Eugene V. Debs, who stands with
out a peer today as the champion of
human rights, addressed an immense
gathering at Dorman's park Monday
evening.
For logical presentation of facts,
his address was the best ever deliver
ed in the city by Socialist orator.
Lack of space prevents our giving
anything but few excerpts from his
address.
He declared that Socialism doesn't
stand for division of wealth or for
common property in everything. That
there is no philosophy in abuse; no
argument in villification, and that the
progress Of Socialism depends upon
an appeal to the intelligence of the
people and not to their prejudice. He
said that society needs to be reorgan-
lied before the laborer can receive
just recompense for his labor. Things
socially needed, to be socially owned;
individually needed, to be privately
owned.
He made a strong plea for the bal
lot for women, that she was mans
equal in all things.
He characterized the European war
as being one of the classes in which
the masses trained to the idea that
they were acting patriotically were
the victims. The war will in no wise
advance their status.
He declared that the Socialist mil
lenium would mean civilized civiliza-
ton, humane humanity and Christian
lied Christianity.
Mr.. Debs' address was mastery
presentation of socialistic doctrines
and many converts were made to that
doctrine. His address throughout was
devoid of abuse or vituperation and
was of the highest merit as BELTS the
man who today is the greatest living
exponent of true Socialism.

mention must be made of the magnifi-
cent room devoted to the Federal
court. The room was designed espec-
tally with view to securing the best
acoustic facilities that science can de-
wise and the result has been so sue
cessful that in that particular this
room is rivalled only by the wonderful
properties of the famous temple of
the Mormons at Salt Lake City.
The upper floor contains rooms for
the Federal and petit juries and rooms
also for the convenience of those who
are in attendance upon the sessions of
the Federal courts.
The various floors of the building
are reached by elevators, operated by
electricity and are of the latest and
most approved design.
/ In the basement there are separate
rooms for the heating and ventilating
equipment, the machinery for the op-
GRAFTON Of the elevator, the janitor's
quarters and the store room.
There is recreation room on this
floor for the benefit of the postal en-
ployes, as we'll as rooms containing
toilets, lavatories, and shower baths
and room that may be used as a
gymnasium, provided the employees
see fit to equip it.
The receipts and disbursements of
the Minot postoffice show that this Of
flee is keeping step to the progress
manifest in every department of our
civic growth.
The receipts are now running about
$4,000 per month, which sum is made
up of stamp sales of about $4,000,
while the balance is represented by
the receipts of the money order divis-
ion. This division pays out in the
neighborhood of $4,000 monthly.
The monthly pay roll of the Minot
office is approximately $2100.
Between 60 and 70 postoffices in
towns tributary to Minot make their
deposits with the Minot Office and this
amounts to $4,000 or more monthly.
The personel of the force employed
at this office is beyond the average
for courteous and considerate service
and from the standpoint of efficiency
as well.
The roster of the local force is as
follows:
Postmaster-E. H. Stenvick.
Assistant Postmaster - William
Heneghan.
Superintendent of Mails-George
Rakness.
Register Clerk Gladys Scofeld.
Relief Clerk-Pauline Stenvick.

SUMMER SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN

The State Normal school at Minot
conducted last year al its Model
school, near the Normal school build
ings, summer school for children de-
string to do work in the grades below
the high school. It was somewhat in
the nature of an experiment, but it
proved successful The demand for
work in the school necessitated the
employment of an extra teacher and
some pupils had to be turned away.
The Normal school will again con-
duct such a school this summer in its
Model school. The school will open
Tuesday, June 29, and will continue
six weeks.
There will be no charge for tuition
and the school will be open to all chill
dren living within either the Harrison
district or the city of Minot, The only
requirements will be regular and
punctual attendance and proper con-
duct.
The school will open at eight-thirty
in the morning and continue until
noon. If there should be an afternoon
session, as is possible, it will be short
and much of its work will be in the
open air.
There are three distinct advantages
offered pupils by this school. First, it
provides an opportunity for whole
some and profitable employment fol
part of the long vacation. This is
decidedly good thing for the average
child that has no distinct and definite
occupation at this time. Second, it en-
ables children to 60 on, and keep fresh
in mind the habits of the school and
the knowledge gained during the regu-
lar term. Ordinarily the child loses
much in the summer that was gained
in the winter. Third, the summer ses-
sion offers an opportunity for those
pupils who have fallen behind their
classes to catch up. Special attention
will be given pupils of this class.
Parents and guardians wishing to
send one or more pupils to this sum-
mer school should send the names Of
such pupils to VIM. F. Clarke, Direc-
tor, at the earliest opportunity.
