John Burke Will Run
If Demand Is Made
SAYS: "IF | GO IN 1T WILL BE
RESPONSIVE TO DEMAND NOT
FOR SAKE OF AMBITION"

John Burke, treasurer of the Uni
ted States, former governor of North
Dakota, will be forced into the race
for United States senator for North
Dakota at the behest of President
Wilson-because democratic leaders
see in Burke's candidacy an opportu-
nifty for the displacement of a repub-
lican senator.
That is the viewpoint accepted by
democrats throughout North Dakota
and in furtherance Of the scheme,
they will circulate petitions asking
Burke to become such candidate
They have hopes of getting 10000
names on the petitions.
The recent announcement by John
Bruegger, national committeeman,
made to the state central committee,
that John Burke had decided to enter
the fight, has been declared by Mr..
Burke to have been untimely. In a
letter to a prominent North Dakota
democrat, Mr.. Burke says:
"Of course, it was a mistake to an
nounce my name. 1t was entirely
without authority and Mr.. Bruegger,
I see, has had the same corrected. I
am sincere when l say that I am not
a candidate, and that I do not want
to be a candidate, unless there is
demand from the people for my serv-
ices. I have told this to everyone that
has asked me anything about it.
"There is no reason in the world
why I should get into this fight on
my own account. If I 60 in, it will
be in response to a demand for my
services, and not for the qualification
of any ambition"
With Burke's position so plainly
stated, the democrats of North Da-
kota are determined to create con-
dition that will bring him, in-and
next November, they anticipate seeing
the former governor opposing the re-
publican nominee, whoever he may
be.

By an odd coincidence the totals

Miss Stutrud was born in Willard,

1906 she graduated from the local
high school. For two years she was
principal of the Epworth school and
taught one year in the 5th grade of

P0NT00N COMPANY
WILL INCORPORATE
$4,000 CONCERN FORMED TO
BRIDGE MISSOURI-PLANS
BEING WORKED OUT
Those Back of Enterprise Confident
of Its Feasability-Will Push
Work

Prospects for a pontoon bridge
across the Missouri at Williston grow
brighter week by week and it woulC
not be surprising if Mckenzie county
people should find themselves com.
ing to Williston fourth of July cele-
bration over such a structure.
Company Formed
The small coterie of men who have
pinned their faith to this undertaking
are very much in earnest and have
made substantial progress with their
plans.
At meeting the past week an or
ganization was effected with r. M
Calderwood as president, Joseph Veg
ley, vice president, and w. H. Denny
secy-treas.
Application has been made to the
secretary of state for charter under
which to incorporate a company with
a capital stock of $10,000.0O divided
into $1,000 shares. Over $1,O0O.OO of
the stock has already been subscribed
Local men who keep their finger on
the pulse of capital say they can place
the remainder of the stock on a few
days notice after plans have been
matured.
The bridge is estimated to cost not
to exceed 100000. The Wolf Point
bridge cost $4,5OO.OO and paid for
itself in one season at team toll of
IS cents. 1t is planned to locate the
bridge just below the riprapping op-
posite the east end of the island and
moor it. by four heavy cables that will
extend entirely across the river. Plans
for a road up the bluffs have been
carefully considered.

Progress Toward Base
Ball Organization

Twenty-Five good fans and true came
to the base ball meeting set for Tues
day night at H. V. Smiths office. As
such meetings go this was fine turn
out and several others sent regrets, be-
ing unavoidably detained. While wait
ing for late arrivals the past season
was reviewed, mostly with satisfac-
tion, and the coming season antici-
pated, entirely with confidence.
Last seasons secretary-treasurer,
J. P Cutting, made full financial re-
port. This record showed that the
sources of funds were: From sub
scriptions, s11O1.75; from gate re-
ceipts, $75O.55; from purses won,
$619.13; from services of players hired
to other teams, $3.50; from old bal
ance turned in from the "city league
$41.OO.
The largest item of expenditure was
for players salaries, $1,297.53. The
list of all paid out items is entirely
too long to publish. The statement
showed deficit of about $500 but
claim against the railroad company
for some $500 when received will
practically clean this up.
Permanent improvements, consist
ing of ID good uniforms, seats at the
grounds and other equipment costing
and worth to the club over $4,000,
must be considered as profits on the
season and a nice help toward the
present seasons requirements. On
motion of w. J. Kelly a resolution Of
commentator on the successful and
efficient management of the 1915 sea-
son was unanimously passed. J. p.
Cutting was made secretary of the
meeting and C. L. Marshall chairman.
Plans and players for the present
season we're discussed at length and
much enthusiasm and confidence ex-
pressed. The idea of employing a
competent playing manager was
heartily endorsed.
With the purpose of making the
business management less burden
some the plan of placing it in the
hands of a board consisting of five
members was favorably considered
and on motion of Mr.. Kelly adopted.
By the terms Of the motion, which
carried an amendment offered by M.
A. Hegge, the chairman was to be
a member of such managerial board
and the other four were to be select
ed by him. The chairman's protest
at this responsibility went unheeded,
so he announced that the appoint
ments would be made later.
The idea of small league was con-
sidered favorably if enough nearby
towns can be induced to cooperate.

Cantata The Pixies
By The Schools
BEAUTIFUL PLAY BY $50 CHILL
DREN IN THE AUDITORIUM
SATURDAY, MARCH 4

With a cast of about $50 players,
the Williston graded schools will pre-
sent the musical play, The Pixies, one
of the most elaborate children's plays
yet arranged.
The Queen of the Fairies is dis
covered asleep in the forest surround
ed by her Fairies and Attendants, and
while all sleep and as the rising sun
gilds the eastern sky, the Goblins slip
into the forest and bear away Little
Sunshine, the tiniest Fairy and in
their glee anticipate delightful meal.
While the Queen leaves her throne to
carry message Of good to mortals,
the Fairies unite in a glad festival
of song and the Flowers tell of their
own place in life. After the Butter
flies have entertained the Fairies and
all have sung the dancing song, a
messenger brings word that the Cap
tain of the Pixies, Prince Florimel
and his band are at the shore pre-
pairing to land, and begs the oppor
tunity Of visiting the Court.
But before the brave Pixies arrive,
the Goblins are heard and the Fairies
scamper away in greatest trepidition.
However, at the sound of the
trumpet which announces the coming
of the Pixies, the Goblins rush off
terrified, and soon the Fairies return,
and are delighted to make the ac-
quaintance of the Pixies and their
brave leader. For the pleasure of the
Queen and her Fairies, the Prince bids
his Pixie band each to tell the story
of his life, and when Uncle Sam ap-
pears with his flag, all join in the
singing of Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean.
And thus the action continues, full
of many dramatic situations, replete
with bright musical numbers, filled
with many delightfully."- humorous in
cidents. When, after the conquest of
the Goblins by the Pixie band, the
Amazons, and the Archers, two little
Coons (Mammies's Black Lambs)
bring back Little Sunshine, the eli
max of the evening is attained.
The costumes will represent many
the winsomeness of the
Fairies, the daintiness of the But
terfies, the beauty of Flowers, the
royalty of Queen and Prince, the
of the Goblins, the
weirdness of the Furies will in ap-
pearance alone be of more than or
dinary delight. The music of the
evening, provided by $50 children's
voices, will prove a rare treat to all
lovers of childhood.
The school bespeaks a hearty re-
ception and it will, if necessary to ac-
comodate its hearers, present the
Cantate a second time. The play will
be presented in The New Auditorium
Saturday night, March 4.
