''BOY IN OUR NAVY"
PRAISES STATE BUILDING:

The Times is always glad to hear
from its readers. W. are especially
pleased to be able to publish letter
this week from that patriotic young
g-ntleman, w. G. Whitfield, who is
with the U. S. S. Battleship South Da-
kota, laying in San Francisco bay. In
the personal letter accompanying the
other Mr.. Whitfield says other nice
things that should be a part of the
Letter intended for print. He says:
9TH. fireworks are especially beauti-
full. 1t is impossible to describe them.
The agricultural, transportation and
machinery buildings were especially
inter sting to me. When / visited the
North Dakota building, l began to
feel at home. Everything there re-
minded M. OF home. l have not found
any place equal to North Dakota yet,
though l often look back and see how
much different and better the people
in and around Oakes are. North Da-
kota is my ideal place yet The let
ter:
Editor Of The Oakes Times: am
steady and Interested reader of The
Cal:es Times and as l have not noticed
ir its columns any mention of the part
North Dakota is taking in the P. p.
I. E., l feel it is my duty to contribute
a. least a few words to let the people
Of Oakes and vicinity know that North
Dakota is we'll represented at thu ex-
POSITION and has exhibits here that she
On we'll b, proud Of.
THE North Dakota building is one of
the finest and is the most sensibly con-
structed building at the exposition. II
is so planned that not only should its
visitors have a glimpse of all the pro-
ducts and school exhibits from North
Dakota, but comforts as we'll. In the
upper story there is ladies' rest room
which is nicely furnished with every
thing necessary to ladies' comfort
In another part of the upper story
there is gentlemen's rest room, con-
tanning among other things necessary
for a mans comfort q large writing
6>sk and a rading table containing 9
g ,od many of North Dakota's leading
n wspapers. On the walls are picture:
~ farm and city scenes from differcn
of fb1
Below on the first floor arranged IL
artistic group are the exhibits, which
are really the envy of all the Other
states. An Illinois farmer who wa!
looking at thu corn exhibit remarked
that he hardly believed such corr
could be raised in North Dakota. Tht
small grain exhibits are certainl,
splendid and arranged very attractive
ly. The school exhibits are good, es
pecially those of the State University
which exhibits in pottery and china
ware made from North Dakota ella,
are unexcclled even BY those in tn:
japanese building.
Too much credit cannot be given Mr.
and Mrs. Freyberger of LaMoure fol
their untiring efforts in making oul
state building what it is and no effor
has hem spared on their part in enter
tanning and making everything a!
!. home-like and comfortable as possibl,
and in giving all visitors chance t,
see what is being done in our state.

TOUCHING FAREWELL
TO FATHER BAKER
OVER THREE HUNDRED GATHER
TO do HIM HONOR
Entertainment by Children of School
and Fine Banquet Gave
Splendid Send-0G

A farewell c.ption was held on
Tuesday evening in the Academy Of
Music for the Very N-velend Father
baker by the members of the Saint
Chur.es congregations.
Though the meeting was in the ma
ture OF a joyous festivity still there
prevailed feeling of sadness. On the
countenances of those assembled was
a. picted sorrow. No one likes to say
farewell. Father Baker mad been their
loving pastor Tor ten years, and now
those tbs of friendship are to be sew
cred. Verify it is, in one short SEN
tence: "To know Father Baker is to
love him."
The ladies' of the parish, too num-
erous to mention, strained every nerve
to show their appreciation, love and
esteem of their Very Reverend guest
by arranging for q sumptuous ban
quet. The decorations Of the hall
we're papal colors, and towards that
end everything was carried out with
system and precision. The first item
was a program by the children, whose
renditions were red-ived with univer-
sal applause, particularly the "Fare-
well,' composed and set to music by
Sisa-r Ignatius. This equally touched
the car and heart of the audience.
The valedictory was delivered by
Blanche Roney, when the two little
Misses Elizabeth Murray and Law
renee Boyle came forward and pre-
sented Father Baker with a Spiritual
Bouqust and solid gold cross with q
diamond embedded in the center
Father Duerr of Lidgerwood, in his
own quiet. g-ntle and pleasant man
her, acted as toastmaster. He enum-
Grated his happy relations with Father
Baker and the great strides Catholicity
has made in Oakes since his advent.
Mayor S.ocum in very suitable
words addressed the me-; ..g an1 re-
called his pleasant associations with
the distinguished guest, and presented
to him on behalf of the peopie OF
Oakes, LaMoure, Berlin and Dickey q
handsome automobile.
Ex-Congressman Marshall was vol
luminous in his words of praise, and
re.ated the activities of Father Baker
in the religious, educational and civic
matters, whereby all the qualities oi
broadmindedness were blended to
eether for the welfare of the citizens
of Oakes.
Father O'Dwyer spoke on behalf Of
the absent members of LaMoure, Ber.
lin and Dickey.
Father Baker, arising, said the ter
years spent here were the happiest il
his life. He experienced nothing but
kindness, good will and gratitude al
around. He said, "This little eros.
presented by the children is the mos
precious gift you can make me. It i
of the purest gold, coming from pure
hearts, lighted up by q diamond. fo,
are the pearls of my life" The speak
er thanked the citizens Of Oakes ant
missions for their beautiful gift.
He was loathe to part with them
but being q soldier, q soldier mus
obey.
At the termination all did justice t.
the delectable viands set before them
and So q happy yet sad meeting came
to close.
The visiting priests were: Rev. P
A. Duerr Of Lidgerwood, Rev. Michae
Harke and his assistant, Rev. O'Byrne
of Lisbon, and Rev. Patrick Fogart,
of CoRswell.

GABRIELLE BARLEY TELLS STORY OF LIFE
THAT LEADS TO MURDER TRIAL

For several months, since the
shooting of Leonard Topp, her sweet
heart, in a downtown store here, the
girls mind has been blank. But the
veil of forgetfulness has been slowly
lifting until now she has pieced to-
gether fragments of memories, and
has woven it into the story of her
life. But still a blank wall rises be-
fore her mind at the moment of her
sweetheart's death.
The longing for a home runs
through Gabrielle Darley's gypsy
history. For, from her birth, she
was wild little wanderer, carried
hither and yon, never knowing a
home, always wanting one. When she
had reached womanhood her instinct
for home had ripened into a great
ambition and determination.
Brought from Italy when she was
only a baby, orphaned in her early
girIhood, she found herself in Arr
iona at the age of 10, alone in the
world and without friends. She was
a waitress in hotel. 1t was there
she met and married kid" Kirby,
prize fighter, whom she divorced be-
cause he would not make home for
her.
''He wouldn't work. except for an
occasional fight, and he didn't care
whether we had home or not" Miss
barley said "And-well, then l met
Leonard Topp: He seemed to know
how felt about having my own lit
tie home, and he begged me to di-
vorce my husband and marry him.
He would make home for me, he
said.
81 learned to love him better than
my life. Oh, love him now too
well, too well.
HE told me he couldn't afford to
marry me and make a home, but that
1 could make enough money, and
when l did he would marry me. He
told me 1 could make that money by

ROAD COMMISSION
 FRE|GHT|NG SUPPLIES

Superintendent Jack Ingram, of the Alaska Road Commission, left Valdez on Saturday with twenty head of stock for Chitina, where he will start the work of distributing the supplies for the road work from Chitlna to the Alaska divide.
 Seven head of horses will be used to take supplies from Valdez to Ton. sina for the use of the crews that will be employed on repair work be. tween the coast and the junction of the Valdez and Willow Creek roads.
 Lieutenant Kunzig, secretary of the road commission, states that the sup plies for next seasons work will all be sent in this winter because it is cheaper to sled them in over the win te rtrails than in summer, as the hors- es of the commission are then needed to work on the roads, while in winter the horses are idle.

BELIEVES SHIP CREEK
 DOPE ALL TOMMYROT

William Sauers, of the Seward Com. mercial Company, is one man who Is perfectly convinced that ship creek will never be made terminal or even shipping station for the government railroad to the Matanuska, and he gives some reasons for this belief which are we'll worth quoting. He declares, in the first place, that even fin the open season vessels like the Bertha. Sampson and the rest can only make their way to Ship creek with the tide. The channel is only a hundred feet wide at that. Another fact he mentions Is that the insurance on ships stops at Fire Island. owing to the danger from shoals further on. Mir. Sauers is sure, and granted these facts others will surely agree, that Ship creek would be out of the run Gateway.

REFUSES ID PRAY
 SUCCESS BRITISH ARMS

LONDON, Jan. 16-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Dr. VII. liam Carnegie, Cannon of Westmin. ster. announced to his parishoners on "Intercession Sunday" that he would not comply with the request that had been made of him to pray for the sue cess of the British arms. He said Among the things which hold should not be prayed for-I mention it with greatest hesitation, but feel it to be my duty, since it is set forth in the seventh section of the authorized form-ls the triumph of our cause. We hold that our cause is righteous. but our foes are equally convinced that righteousness Is on their side. God is the judge and we must pray for submission to his will, whatever be the issue"
 The movement of animal lovers to introduce a special prayer for animals into the service also has no support in the higher clergy of the English church.
 T cannot sanction for use in church the litany which contains a prayer for the animals and speaks of them as offering their guileless lives" says Dr. Gore. Bishop of Oxford. 'It has never been the custom of the church to pray for any other thing than those we think are rational. It is a com plete mistake to suppose the ortho- dox churches would countenance any such prayers. We can, of course. pray for men that they may be kind to animals"

PRINTING FIRM HOLDS
 MEETING IN TRENCHES

LONDON, Jan. 16-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-"B "Business as usual" the motto which the Brit lsh tradesman adopted early in the course of the war applies even to the business man who is on duty in the firing line
 An instance of this is seen in the announcement that the annual meet ing of the board of directors of the firm of Vacher and Sons, official print CTS in the British parliament, was held in the trenches" all the direc- tors of the company being on duty at the front in France. The minutes of this unique directors meeting are as follows:
 "A meeting of the directors was held in a dugout in the trenches on Dec. 24, 1914.
 'The directors were unable to deal with the minutes of the last meeting owing to the absence of the minute book.
 "The accounts received from the eompany's auditors for the financial Iyear ending Sept. 30 were considered and approved, subject to confirmation at the general meeting of the com pany.
 | "The directors present regretted the absence of their colleague, captain Claude Low. whose whereabouts at ] tn efront is unknown to them. | There being no other business tc transact. the meeting closed with a hearty vote of thanks to the chair man"

LAND MINES EXPLODED
 IN TRENCH WARP FARt

PETROGRAD, Jan. 16-Correspon- dence of the Associated Press)-The German army In front of Warsaw Is using some new offensive machinery in it's trench warfare with excellent results. Among these new weapons are some very powerful land mines, which are set at night by sappers and exploded later by electricity. So called "t,rpedoes" and improved hand grenades are also used.
 The torpedoes are really bombs of formidable size. which explode on con tact and spread death-dealing frag- ments of jagged iron. at the same time poisoning the air for twenty yards around with a deadly gas. These are hurled silently from sort of bal llsta or catapault. which has a useful range of about 150 feet.
 The hand grenade resembles in ap- pearance a large skyrocket. A tin canister with pointed head is affixed to a stick or handle about two feet long. The canister is filled with bull lets and an explosive charge fired by contact on the pointed head. The grenade is thrown by hand. the stick serving both as handle and as a tail, which insures the pointed head striking first and exploding the con tents. They are used in infantry charges during the few moments when the rifles cease firing and the bayo- nets are not yet within striking dis. tance.

U N|O N MEN GO TO FRONT IN
 FRANCE

PARIS, Jan. 16-(Correspondenc, of the Associated Press) The rela ton of the labor unions to the war ha, been altogether cerditable to them according to NJ. Marck, treasurer O the Federation of Labor Unions of tht Seine. He said the government hat always been nervous about labor un ions in case of war, and as the anti militarist campaign had reached al armning proportions it was thought q serious question what might be the extent of defections in case of an outbreak.
 That this had been a false alarm of fear was evident from the fact that three hundred thousand trades-union. ists--not revolutionlsts-ha raised their voices against the aggressor."
 "The militant union leaders are now too much occupied in the trenches, and at other ponints where there's pa. triotic work to do. to think of the fight between labor and capital" he said.
 But" he added, because we're doing our duty 1t will be a mistake to suppose that after it's oyer we shall disarm and abandon our fight for the eight hour day and the Saturday half holiday; the fighting, in my opinion. will then be hotter than ever.
 But that is for later on, just now we are too busy distributing tickets for meals to unemployed, and we are short of help for most of the union leaders are at the front; many of them have proven by giving their lives to the cause that they were as much patriots as those who were de nying them the right to be so-called.
 "Chalopin, of the School Teachers Union, had been killed, while Capy. of the Jewellers Union. has lost his two legs.
 "It's not only the younger Union men who are serving their country; the older ones are doing their part in different ways; five thousand of the nayies were recruited in one day to hustle the work of intrenching the army of Paris when the Germans were on their way toward the gates of the city, and they all went cheerfully without a murmur; they slept in the open, just as the soldiers do, and they rushed through the work so that if Won Kluck had ever gotten within gunshot of the outer trenches, he would have received a disagreeable
 yprise.
 Another, and far more disagree able duty performed by the navies' union was the burying of the aban- doned German dead on the field of the battle of the Marne."
