DEVICE GIVEN TRIAL

The Darlington man mentioned in
the following article from the Caring
ton Independent is cousin Of S. E.
Stafford and is quite we'll known here
Geo. Bauley's device for steam en-
gines, throwing the exhaust from the
smoke stack to special outlet while
the fire door is opened for coal receiv
ing, has been on trial on two Northern
Pacific engines for six weeks past. Re
ports of its value are current, although
the railroad people are keeping care
full records but saying nothing. One
observer says that is has served the
company many tons Of coal and 1,50(
gallons of water On a division run
The device does away with allowing
cold air to enter the fire box while
firing, a matter that wastes great
amount of heat and seriously hurts the
fues. With Bauley's scheme, the
draft is done away with in the fire
box 1t promises to be an invention
Of great value. The inventor already
has it patented.

PORTLAND DAIRY Meeting
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS

Portland, Dec. 14.-The dairy meet
ing was we'll attended by farmers in
terested in dairying and stock raising,
sidering the very inclement weather.
E. A. Greenwood, dairy commission
err, delivered an able address on silo
and barn ventilation. Much enthusi-
asm was shown, especially on the sub
ject of silos of which quite number
were built this year, and many farm
ers are looking into the matter with
view of erecting silos next summer.
Commissioner Greenwood went fully
into the silo proposition and showed
the benefits of silage for feeding dairy
COWS as well as beef stock. He said
among other things that 80 per cent
more of the feeding value of corn is
saved through a silo as against feed
ing the corn as fodder and he contend
ed that the farmer would do better by
planting his corn for silage purposes
in check rows and cultivating it rather
than drill the corn; that the corn cul-
tivated both ways would be of greater
feeding value, the land would also be
free from foul seeds.
o. S. Hagen, assistant dairy COM
missioner, spoke on cooperative
creameries and the care Of cream.
Portland has a very successful CO.
operative creamery.
With the enthusiasm shown at this
meeting it is safe to say that this will
be one of the important dairy and
stock communities in the Red River
valley.

Newspaper Man Pays
City Big Compliment

In the last issue of the Mayville Tri-
tou and Valley City compliment that
the Times.Record feels is deserved by
both. The capitals are MIR. Lum's:
Speaking of economy in city affairs
opens up the channel of argument that
might be endless, if followed out to
it's logical conclusion. To illustrate,
the writer maintains that no city will
grow more rapidly in the present age
than city improvements will warrant,
and that city improvements seldom
really increase taxes to any great ex-
tent. To illustrate this point, Valley
City under the administration of DR..
Platou, who most of the Mayville peo-
pie have seen, was during the early
part of his administration cited by the
tight wads" as the man who would
ruin the town and leave the mayors
chair in disgrace on account Of his ex-
travagances. Valley City obtained alb.
solutely pure water, put in entire new
sewers, new and uptodate lighting
system and white-way, improved the
streets, placing curbs and cutters and
crawling most of the streets, besides
many other improvements, with large
extensions every year, and not with
standing all this, THE TAXES ON
HOMES IN MAYVILLE ARE AS
HIGH AS IN VALLEY CITY. The
towns that are thriving and growing
and dead town where modern con-
| veniences are lacking detracts from
the possibilities of growth. In other
words, if you are for larger town,
are alive to this improvement fact,
generally overlooked, that modern
city improvements attract prospective
home-makers and bushes enterprises,
with more people and flourishing
state institution, then you are for all
modern and up-to-the-minute public
improvements, but on the other hand
if you are one Of those that are abso
lutely satisfied, then remain so by all
means, but when you register an 90
lection to improvements on account Of
higher taxes, take the time to inves
tigate the matter and you will readily
ascertain that PUBLIC IMPROVE
MENTS ARE MERELY A MIGHTY
GOOD PAYING INVESTMENT.

Large Audience Pleased
With San Carlo Singers

the audience, of whom there were not
a few, were disappointed in one or two
instances, they were more than repaid
in the performance of the "Mephisto
phees" of Signor Pietro DeBiasl
whose performance was that of a sea-
soned artist. With an imposing stage
presence, magnificent bass voice
splendidly under control, he easily
dominated all scenes in which he ap'
peared.
The part of "Valentine' was ably
portrayed by Davide Silva, and though
tie role of martha" is small one
it was made the most of by Anna
Haase.
Salvatore Cciaretti assumed the role
of Faust, and while the dramatic ele
nent remained in allegiance during
most of the performance, the difficult
music was given adequately. Owing to
the indisposition of Madeleine Carrie
no, "Siebel' was sung by Stella De-
Mette. Luigi Dellemolle sang the part
Of "Brander" The orchestra of Ii
pieces under the direction of Signor
Tea Barducci provided an excellent
accompaniment though at times over
shadowing the singers.
The stage management is to be con-
graduated on the pleasing results OBJ
tanned in the stage settings, lighting
etc., on the comparatively small stage
of the auditorium.
Altogether, let us say again, Valley
rity has had a great musical perform
ance, and there are none that would
not welcome back for further perform
ance the San Carlo grand opera COM
pany.
There was a large audience, in
which many outside communities were
represented. Had the season been
earlier there would probably not have
been standing room. We believe that
if the company were to appear another
year two-day season of three or four
oneras would be we'll attended. There
are those who hope for return en-
oapemant

All things come to pass in time
even thus did the San Carlo grand
opera company come and by the same
sign it has passed on, like many other
good things.
While valley City has made history
n the field of concert-giving, adding
gear by year to the glittering array OF
great artists such names as those OF
the late Nordica, Melba, Sembrich
Gadski and many others of nOte-this
is the first time that grand opera has
been given here, and, we believe, we
are the smallest city in America where
a company Of recognized standing has
presented one of the standard operas
But let us go on.
In the main the performance as Civ
en- Thursday evening was very
satisfactory. The audience in gen
eral was pleased with the production
and it was nOn-Opera-going audience
for the most part. This latter fact un
doubtedly produced more Or less of a
lack of sympathy between audience
and singers. There were those in the
audience whose high-keyed anticipa
ton of the role of Marguerite" as
sung by Tulsa Darclee fell to disap
pointment Uncertainty of her part de-
tracted greatly from her acting and
her vocal ACCOMPLISHMENT. 1t is some
thing of a question whether or not
either "Siebel" or Martha" might not
have handled the role in a more sat
isfactOry manner.
To those who had heard the opera
before and to the hundreds who had
carefully studied it for the past month
or more, the omission Of the church
scene was a disappointment, following
the assurance of the company that the
opera was to be presented in it's en-
irety.
Something may be said for the com
panv on this score, owing to the length
of the opera, but the large audience
had its mind set on the beautiful
church scene.
Yet, if the discriminating ones in

Waterworks Is Using
Very Latest in Pumps

Saturday Supt. Bergman, of the city
waterworks plant, finished installing
and put into commission one of the
very latest pumps made. It is a three
stage Advance centrifugal pump.
The Times-Record reporter had to ask
what "three-stage" pump is, so he
is going to pass on the explanation to
you. The pump consists of three sets
OF wheels, each passing the water on
to the next until a pressure of 10
pounds in the mains is attained.
This new pump has a capacity Of
300 gallons per minute. The beauty
of its operation is that it does away
absolutely with the click and clack
of the old cylinder pumps. If you've
laid awake nights or worked at night
alone in a building you know how ir-
ritating that may become.
With the old pumps the city water
works has a capacity of 800 gallons
per minute. The way Valley City is
growing it looks as though that capa-
city will be needed next summer when
the lawn-watering season is on.
By the way, the waterworks plant
and the electric light plant are we'll
worthy Of inspection by citizens.
Everything is up to the minute in the
way of equipment, every machine is
polished till it shines, and under the
management of Supt. Bergman every
thing goes as smooth as watch. We
venture to say that there is no place
in the country of this size where there
is less trouble over public utilities
| o. - s~or t. $f>o
use Of automatic devices. For in
stance, the firemen do not have to
bother with draft or boiler tempera
ture. All they do is to shovel in the
coal and various automatic devices
see that it is turned into steam as
needed, this being accomplished by
regulation of the hampers. A visit to
the plant will prove very interesting.

Rolette, Dec. 14.-Walter Smick of
this village, isn't the wizard in Wis
consin that he is in North Dakota.
Smick went to Oshkosh last week and
proceeded to show his friends there
some tricks he learned while resident
of North Dakota. His first was to hold
silver half dollar in his mouth and
drink a glass of water without wetting
the eagles feathers. The swallowing
part of the act was accomplished, both
the water and the coin reaching a
common level. The money was recov-
cred, however, by surgical operation.
