ANNOUNCEMENT
Fall Term Begins Sept. 9th

The WahpetOn Conservatory o1
Music, which was organized in
1912 and which is now incorpor-
ated under the laws of North Da-
kota, will begin its fourth year

The school aims to be broad in
its scope affording special in
struction in the following bran
ches; piano, voice, violin, har-
mony and counterpoint, compo-
sition and history of music; broad
in its methods, recognizing that
no one method is the only good
one and above all broad in it's
spirit of culture.
The success of the school, in
large measure, depends on it's fa-
Guilty and it is believed that the
board Of trustees have employed
the services of one of the strong
est faculties ever gathered to-
gether in the city.
The school is particularly for
tunate in the studios it occupies
above the Bee Hive Store. They
are large and pleasant, especial
ly adapted for studio purposes
and centrally located.

CITIZENS GATHERED
MONDAY EVENING
To Hear the Outline and General
Plans Of tho Duluth, Huron
4 Southwestern
RAILROAD CO. TO WAHPET0N
And What will % Required BY
This Company on tho Right :
of-Way Question

Monday evening the citizens of
Wahpeton gathered at the Com
mercial Club rooms to hear MI
Charles Wolfe of the law firm
of Wolfe & Schneider describe and
outline the general plans and
specifications that were as he
thought necessary to get the
citizens of Wahpeton interested
in the new proposed railroad.
Now the proposition before the
citizens is this: This railroad
company as told by Mr.. Wolfe i.
only incorporated for $4,000
and $500 has been paid in to
build approximately 700 miles OF
road. But the money to build this
railroad is being furnished by q
bonding company at $4,000 d
mile which is deemed about the
amount necessary. Arrangements
have been made to build the road
from Huron, to Waubay, S. D..
and for the railroad to come
here the citizens Of the city anC
vicinity, Hankinson and Great
Bend would have to procure the
right of way from the South Da-
kota state line to Wahpeton.
Hankinson Commercial Clut
has virtually agreed to procure
the right of way from New Eff
fington to Hankinson some iS
miles.
The railroads that this COM
pany propose to build is the line
from Huron, S. ID. via Waubay
Hankinson, Great Band to Wah-
peton. A direct lime from Wah-
peton to Duluth and line from
Wahpeton to Bismarck.
1t is impossible to contemplate
at this time all of the advantages
to our city and community, that
the acquisition Of such a system
of roads would give us, but we
know the benefits will be great
enough that we can we'll afford
to do all in our power to assist
this railroad company in any way
that lies in our power.
At this meeting a motion was
made and carried whereby five
citizens should be appointed by
the chairman to act withI this
company on this new project OF
proposition. When the surveying
engineers get here next month
the whole thing will no doubt be
put before the public again and
then some concentrated action
one way or othe other will be in
order.
The committee appointed up to
this time is not yet complete but
the members appointed so far are
D. d: Swank, Alec Stern and w. J.
Robinson. The other two will un-
doubtedly be appointed immed-
lately.

In speaking to Mr.. Purdon he
says that he don't know what he
will do after he retires but that
he will not reenter the strenuous
life again is asurred, but that he
has formulated no plans until all
accounts with this firm have been
settled or Strengthened out.

members will in the near future

Who Will Take Possession for

Next Spring

One of the important business
changes that have been so fire.
quent within the past year or two
is the selling of the building
which has been the headquarters
of the Grout Implement Co. for
some time past.
In speaking with Mr.. Grout he
said that they would erect mod
ern home on the main thorough
fare of Wahpeton, Dakota Ave.
This is in keeping with the past
changes by the Wahpeton busi-
ness whereby there have been
some very nice handsome, up-to-
date new homes erected for their
respective businesses this year.
The building will no doubt be
started this fall and finished in
time for this company to take
possession in the early spring
and do their spring retailing from
their proposed handsome new
headquarters.
The Grout Implement Company
have always realized the immense
benefit to their business of being
on one of the main business
streets from being in their pres
ent headquarters. And living up
to their past progressive spirit
have now realized their aim which
has been formulating i'm the gen.
eral way of improving their busi-
ness while at the same time treat
ing their past customers with the
same squareness.

Company Will Taks Possess

The 10th OF SEPTEMBER
And Which Marks the Retirement
From Active Business Of Mr..
and Mrs. JAS. Purdon

Another important business
deal which has been announced
to the public is the purchase of
the James Purdon & Cos. place
of business by the Cash Supply
Co., which has number of stores
in and throughout Richland Coun
ty.
Mr.. James purdon came to
Wahpeton some thirty-five years
ago and started in business in
what is the east part of the
Commercial Hotel building. He
remained in this place for five
years and then moved into build
ing where the Schuler bloock now
stands and then five years later
purchased the corner where he
has remained ever since. About
five or six years ago he purchas-
ed the building next to him ON the
west which was at that time oc..
cupied by the Willard Meat Mark
ct and this building now compuscs
his grocery department.
This place of business under
the direction and supervision ct
Mr.. Purdon has grown to be a
very profitable place and is u.u
of the most desirable sites in
Wal4peton. The new owners
, come with a reputation behind
them and no doubt as their hist
ory so far has proven to be will
be welcome by the people of this
vicinity in general and will merit
very nice business as they have
enjoyed at other places.
