BIG BUILDING YEAR
FOR NORTH DAKOTA

This promises to be one Of the
biggest building years in the his
tory of North Dakota. While the
greater portion of the United
States is standing still, our state

business blocks as we'll as public
buildings. North Dakota is able to
build this year at lower prices
than will prevail in times when
the balance of the country is
more active. North Dakota is buy
ing labor and material on an in
active market this year and she
is reaping much profit thereby.
One of the particularly hopeful
signs of the times is the fact that
Industries are beginning to turn
their attention to North Dakota
just now. Factories are coming
into the state and building here

and they find ready market here.
This is as it should be and this
development will make greater
state and a more balanced state
an assured fact. Commenting up
on the building situation, the Ed
itor of the Stanley Promoter said
recently:
Certain it is that we of the
good state of North Dakota have
reason to be very thankful for the
opportunities that are ours today
and no part of those opportuni-
ties should be overlooked. No one
can deny that this spring holds
promise of a bright and profitable
year to all who are ready to take
advantage Of it,
In Wahpeton alone, this spring
is seeing the completion OF over
half million dollars worth of
new building with constant in
crease in prospective improve
ment.

She has led somewhat of pro-

but like Jack Johnson met their
fate at Havana. 10 bad she will
try to come back, but like Jeffries
will have to give up to younger
blood. Fast life will tell ON any

but all of a sudden she drops
away to- meet the end. The rela-

in great numbers, being called
to help celebrate the diamond

amid great sorrow there arose
that same old story: How won-

MlLNOR WINS
FAST GAME
From tho Breckenridge vvahpe-
ton Baseball Team by tho
Score Of 8 to I
ON ISLAND PARK MONDAY
When es7 Fans Saw Ono Of the
Best Games Of the. Season
BY the Local Team

Yes it was. The atmosphere was
saturated with it, and that must
be the reason why it didn't rain.
That Milnor aggregation took
home the 60 per cent but they had
the breaks with them and what
more could be the result. For in
stance Lang the center fielder for
Minor made lucky one hand
stab off of kent's long drive to
the the score board. Ferris went
to bunt one and hit it over the
third baseman's head. Well it all
goes and comes and here's hoping
that we will meet that bunch Of
fence-busters on Island park
again and we will bet that the old
so will stay here in town.
1t was a good game and al
though the B-W's lost the fans
were thoroughly satisfied with the
teams play and SO are we. The
trouble makers on the team are
gone and though the season is
we'll on its way, there is going to
be some real base ball in the lit
tie twins yet.
Smith the manager-catcher is
a hard man to beat in his posi-
ton. He is aggressive and fight
ing all the way through. He will
make his name known through
out these diggings before many
games have rolled by. He has a
strong and sure peg to bases, get
ting it away from him about as
quick as they make 'em.
Doreman the new man on third
plays a good, heady game there
and although he is not in his reg
ular position, delivers the goods
all the way through. He showed
to advantage in the first local
game by getting on and that's
what makes the games worth see
ing. Kent the little dwarf who
holds down the shortstop position
is there himself. He covers worlds
of territory and his peg is sure.
He also hits them right on the
nose and there is nothing else
that can be expected.
When all the new men get on
the team and they are practiced
together we'll it will make things
interesting for Milnor again and
she won't win another ball game
to | as she did Monday.

date. 1t means many dollars of
profit to you whether you take ad-
vantage Of the numerous. bar
gain offered for your benefit or
not. This opportunity will be for
you, meaning each and every one
because it will convince you be-
yond doubt that the merchants
and business men are behind you.
They want you to realize that they
need your help to make the wheel
go round. Don't sit in the front
yard on that day and watch the
grain grow, but come in and make
yourself at home. We are here for
that purpose.
The Dollar Day that was held
in this city some time ago, spoke
very forcibly and although the
bad weather kept those from a
distance from coming i'm, enough
were here to satisfy us that the
Day Was a success.
Now this means that with good
weather that will probably be in
store for everyone concerned this
town will be crowded with bargain
seekers. Go through every store.

The Fergus Falls base bail
team will again play on the local
diamond Sunday afternoon and
will try to even up the scole by
making it 2 and 2 apiece as the
B-W's have lost one and won two
from them. This means a good
game and we'll worth seeing.
Fergus Falls has strengthened
her weak departments with the
best talent possible and so has
the local team and it will be a
fight to the finish. When Greek

teams.

The Anglo-Persian Rug

that we had out in front of our store
on the sidewalk for Is days, has had
a hard test. It stood the abuse of Is
days of sunshine, rain and mud that
was tracked on it by pedestrians.
This rug is now on display in our
show windows, so you can see that it
does not show wear or fading or run
ing of colors. Til isrug we had dry
cleaned and it is in perfect condition.
We hope that you can spare the time
to see it at our store and give it close
examination. This is convincing that
the Whittall Rugs are just what they
are represented to be and that they
are the rug that you should buy.
They are the best rug on the market
today. We want you to see the rug.
Call at the store. This rug was sold
to the highest bidder and belongs to
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Putnam of this
city and will be used in their beauti-
full home on seventh street north.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT STATE OF ARIZONA.


 WHEREAS, the Second State Legis- lature, in regular session convened on January II, 1915, took final adjourn ment at the expiration of the sixty days period allowed by law, without having passed general appropriation bill providing money for the different State departments, institutions, public schools, and for the interest on the public debt;

Bootleegine At Oatman.

This week Sheriff Lane and deputies brought in from Oatman 155 bottles of booze that was found cached in the hills near that place. Two men were arrested on charge of bringing the booze into the state, and one of the men has confessed. He is said to have made the statement that liquor house in Los Angeles agreed to furnish them a certain amount of whiskey weekly and they on their part were to sell it to the best advantage. They had sold some of the liquor when arrested by the Sheriff and his deputies. They had cached the liquor at a convenient place in the hills and were drawing on the supply generously when the officers got onto the game and pulled them in. The men are strangers in the county, having come in from Los Angeles with the bootlegging game in view.

George P. Kirk, prospector re- siding in Kingman, has just patented an animal trap which is automatic in its action. When an animal walks into the trap it secures the animal and at the same time resets itself for the next animal that may come along. The trap is humane, the trapped animal not being injured in anyway.

Prochaska is a fine fol- low and the local members of the order met him with open arms. It is his in tention of driving up from Miami with a machine later on and Kingman lodge will certainly show him good time.
 P. McCardell, the well known U. S. mineral surveyor, departed Wednesday night to the east, where he will remain about three months, visiting the old home and looking after business affairs. MT. McCardell has not visited the east in many years and has concluded that this IS the time to see the old home and some of the old friends. He is largely interested in mines and it is probable that he will place some of the property on this trip.
 Mrs. William Brown was brought in from the Big Sandy Thursday evening last suffering from an attack of Bright's disease. During the morning hours yesterday her life was despaired of, but this morning it was reported that she was in a far way to recover. Mrs. Brown is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. w. A.
