1916 to locate at Dickinson. Supt.
Taylor said there had been a great
development in western North Dakota
the past few years which our consti-
tutional makers had apparently not
expected. At least, he came to this
conclusion after reading some Of the
debates Of our early law makers. In
territorial days the people of the
Red River valley argued that there
was no farming land west of James
town and apparently they thought the
country west of the river only fit for
rowing herds of cattle and Indians.

STREETS THAT ARE CANYONS
Some Thoroughfares Of Manhattan
Are the Most Highly conoested
in the World.

Many Of the highly congested
streets Of lower Manhattan mean
while have a beauty, or at least an
impressiveness, peculiarly their own.
It Is only when one of these canyons
is isolated from it's surroundings by a
photograph that the effect of mass
may be fully appreciated. An effect
of startling novelty may be had by
standing in the middle of one Of these
streets and looking directly upward.
The perspective from this point Of
view still further exaggerates their
height or rather depth.
In the Middle Ages it was common
to build houses with each floor pro-
jecting out beyond the line of the
floor below until the cornices Of the
roofs on either side Of the street all
but touched The effect of looking
skyward frcn the middle of a modern
New York street is much the same.
The sun never penetrates to the
pavement at the foot Of some of these
canyons, which are, therefore il per-
petual half shadow, like the bottom Of
a deep well. The population housed
in these buildings is doubtless greater
in proportion to the street width than
in any ether city in the world. 1t has
been estimated that if all the occu-
pants of these Office buildings were
to leave at the same time they would
have to stand ten deep in the street
in places.

an hour later Miss Minturn, glancing

bell ring In moment" And the bell
pealed almost upon the words.
Half an hour later, when Miss Min
turn came downstairs she saw tall
stranger standing on the hearth-rug,
listening with amusement to Betty's
chatter. He raised his head
Aunt Jessie, this is Mr.. Garvin,"
said Betty.
Aunt Jessie's cheeks were redder
than her niece's. AS for Mr.. Garvin,
there was a look in his eyes which
seemed to indicate that he had not
been wholly unprepared for the meet
ing.
The next ten minutes were miser-
able ones for Jessie Minturn. To sit
there and see the lover of her youth
transformed into her niece's beau was
an unenviable position in which to find
oneself Miss Minturn summoned all
her dignity to her aid.
Well" said Betty at last, "as you
two seem such uninteresting company
this afternoon | shall leave you alone
for a while" And she stalked out in
dudgeon. Miss Minturn knew that it
would not last more than ten minutes.
And in ten minutes she must appeal to
him to treat Betty fairly, tell him of
her righteousness. her real goodness,
implore him by the memory of their
past love not to misunderstood her.
The man went quietly over to Miss
Minturn and took her hands.
