Fargo, July 14.-The prospects are
that Fargo is to have another morn
ing daily newspaper. Thas is one of
the things that the progressive demo-
Gratis, who will start the publication
of weekly newspaper here on Sept.
l, are figuring on now and the indica-
lions are that the plan Will be car
ried out.

marily for boosting the Wilson admin
istration, will be known as the Pro-
gressive Democrat and is being backed
by some of the most prominent and
financially capable members of the
democratic party in this end of the
state.

recently and at the same time the mat
ter of turning the paper into morn
ing daily later on was discussed, the
plan being to print the paper on the

TO BUILD TEMPLE

Jamestown, July H.. jamestown

initial steps Wednesday evening for
the construction of handsome tenn
pie. The financial end of the project
was presented by Alfred Steel and
enthusiastically received by the mem
bers who unanimously passed res
olution endorsing the project and
lending it their undivided support.
The lodge now has plans for a
handsome $4,000 structure to grace
the site held by the body for some
time. The site is situated on south
Fifth avenue, corner of Pacific street
diagonally across from the site of the
government building and opposite
the site of the public library. 1t is on
the opposite corner from the new
Presbyterian church and less than a

of access from all parts of the city
and the temple, when completed, will
add another handsome structure to
the public edifices of Jamestown.

AWFUL DEATH

st. John, July a. John Hender-
sons little three-year old girl was
burned to death at the Henderson
home near here. Mr.. Henderson had
a fire outside to heat kettle Of water
to scald some ant hills. He went to
the pasture to get the cows and left
the two children playing around the
fire; the wind blew the flame and
caught the little girls clothes. The
little boy was unable to do anything
and when their screams brought Mr..
Henderson the childs clothing was all
in flames. Mr.. Henderson threw wa
ter on her which made a steam that
fairly cooked her flesh.
The child lived five hours and was
conscious all the time. Her face
wasn't burned but her body and limbs
were so badly burned that the flesh
came off in places. She didn't seem
to suffer very much and when the
doctor came she held out her hands
and said, See doctor, my hands are
all burned" The doctor put her in
bath that relieved all pain so she slept
we'll and when she awoke she said,
81 hurt so, mama" and died about flf-
teen minutes after
Mrs. Henderson had gone 20 Roila

GIRLS CHAU1AUQUl At
VALLEY CITY CLOSES

Fargo Forum: The girls Chautau
qua school in connection with the Val
ley City Chautauqua closed very
profitable session last Monday. This
school, which was originated four
years ago by Miss Minnie J. Nelson
of Valley City, one of the most prom
inent club women of the state, and
county superintendent of Barnes
county, has grown from Barnes
county affair into a state project.
This year II counties were represent
ed at this Chautauqua, embracing
territory as far north as Grand Forks,
as far south as Cass, as far west as
Burleigh, and as far east as Ransom
counties.
The camp consisted of Is sleeping
tents, the big mess tent, and kitchen.
One hundred and ten girls were en-
rolled, with eight domestic science
teachers, graduates of the state Nor
NAL school at Valley City, in charge
of the commissary department.
Miss Minnie J. Nelson and Miss Mel
lie Farnsworth, the latter being at the
head of the domestic science depart
ment in the Valley City Normal school,
did the planning for the camp during
tho months prooodipo tho opopipc dow
Miss Nelson made out the programs
and arrangements for the School,
while Miss Farnsworth did the order
ing and planning for the kitchen.
Unusually fine instruction was given
the girls this year in domestic science,
dairying, home culture, and social
usages. Glasses began at o'clock in
the morning, and continued until noon.
The management was fortunate this
year in securing the services of Miss
Mary Hudson, who had charge of the
entire camp, and acted as official chap
erone and superior officer on the
grounds. She is a very alert young
woman, one who has for many years
been prominent leader in social and
philanthropic circles in Valley City.
During the past year she has acted as
secretary Of the city's Associated Char
tiles, and was both by nature and
training we'll fitted for the position she
has just filled. u ..,
Besides the regular classes which
the girls attended every morning spe-
cial time was given to athletics and
games, and an hour each day was de-
voted to instruction in swimming. The
camp closed after very happy outing
for all the girls enrolled, and this
phase of the Valley City Chautauqua
may well be classed as one Of the
greatest assets of that Chautauqua
organization.

ALICE DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST n. D. FARMERS

Bismarck, July 16.-1nequities in the
express rates on cream in North Da-
kota, as compared with interstate
rates, are being called to the attention
of the state railroad commission of
North Dakota, in, session here today.
Under the two rates, North Dakota
shippers get much the worst of it.
They must pay higher rates for short
er hauls, the discrimination against
the North Dakota firms acting to the
advantage of Minnesota central
reameries.
Cream rates for short hauls in
North Dakota are regarded as quite
satisfactory, but most of the cream is
shipped over 100 miles.
