BLIND PUPILS ENTERTAINMENT

An entertainment given in the high
school assembly on Saturday evening
by pupils from the State School for
the Blind at Bathgate, was given the
attendance of an audience which filled
the capacity of the hall, while of the
two hours program it may be truth
fully stated it was most admirable
effort by blind performers to entertain
sight seeing audience. Superinten-
dent Chapel and lady assistant from
the state institution at Bathgate
brought over to Langdon a party of
eight pupils of their school, four
young ladies and four young men,
each of whom took part in the enter
tainment and thoroughly demonstrated
what training along educational lines
will do for those who are blind. The
opening and closing numbers of the
program were given by an orchestra
of five pieces, following which there
were piano solos and duets and num-
bers similarly rendered upon the vio-
lin, all Of which showed as we'll as
the natural ability of the player what
it is possible to accomplish in an in
stitution of this kind. Vocal numbers
rendered by two of the young ladies,
who are this year graduating from the
school, were rendered with an unusual
sweetness and the same may be said
of their readings and declamations.
The audience were also shown some
of the regular school work done in the
institution, the exercises including
reading, writing and other studies. 1t
was the first entertainment of this
kind that has ever come to Langdor
people and was quite instructive as
we'll as entertaining. The audience
contributed literally to silver collec.
tion taken up at the close to defray
the expense of their trip over here.

LANGDON AUTO ACCIDENT

Last Thursday evening Miss Jessie
Milne and Miss Elydia Docksteader
had as narrow an escape from serious
injury in an automobile accident as it
is possible to escape from and live to
tell afterwards the details of how it
happened. In the afternoon in com.
pany with Hiss Marguerite Mahoney
they had autoed to Dresden, where
they stayed for short visit with
Mrs. Ray Fabel, later continuing their
trip to the Mahoney farm, eleven
miles west of Langdon. They LETT
Miss Mahoney at the farm and had
just started on the return to town,
Miss Docksteader running the car,
when the gear failing to respond
to the wheel when the attempt was
made to turn out of the road on meet
ing another car. The upset that fol-
lowed did not occur until after the
machine had zig-zigged along the road
side for short distance. 1t went
over imprisoning both Miss Milne and
Miss Docksteader, but the latter was
not released from her perilous position
until after her companion had sue
ceeded in extricating herself from
under the over turned car and brought
Mr.. Mahoney to the scene of the acci-
dent. A phone message to Langdon
brought Herb Schulke to their assist
ance and safe though slowly travel
ed return to town owing to the severe
shaking up the girls had experienced.

5000 FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS

At its meeting the board of county
commissioners granted aid to the City
of Langdon for the care and mainten-
ance of streets the sum of 5000 from
the county road and bridge fund
Mayor Mcintyre appeared before the
board in behalf of the city and in
presenting his petition showed how
Langdon city's assessed valuation was
$l27, 600 higher in proportion than
that of the rest of the county, owing
to the increase in the valuation neces-
STATED by the bonded Indebtedness of
upwards $4,000 for the recently
erected new high school building.
Mayor Mcintyre demonstrated to the
commissioners that under its present
valuation Langdon city was paying
into the county road and bridge func
on an average of $14OO to $500 g
year in excess of other towns
pro rata. He stated that the
actual sum which the city paid into
the county road fund in 1914 was
$1363. 18 in excess of its proportion.

LAND BUYERS FROM KANSAS

Arthur j. Foster, who within the
week has returned from his trip
through Kansas and other states to
the south of us in the interest of the
Cavalier County Development Asso-
citation, was here yesterday. He has
spent much of the time since he left
here last February in Kansas and has
found settlement in the vicinity of
Hutchinson, KAN, of prospective
buyers of Cavalier county farm lands
who will likely be here to look over
the country for themselves after their
harvest, which will be over the early
part of next month All of them may
be said to be families with means,
but they have been living on places
down there which have market value
of $3.50 per acre. This with the capi-
tai which they can realize by making
a sale will enable them to come and
farm on much larger scale. Mr.
Foster states that he expects toreturn
to Kansas, where he has been doing
this missionary work for the Develop
met company shortly and will accom-
pany the party of land seekers on
their tour over this county.
