One Hundred And
One Million of Us Now

Washington, Feb. 14.-Census bu-
reau experts estimated yesterday that
the population Of the United States
on January +, last, was 101, ,208,315,
and that by July 1, it would be 102,-
017,302. Only July 1, last year, they
figured the population at 100,399, 1913.
Western states have led in growth,
Washington heading the list with
Oklahoma, Nevada, North Dakota and
New Mexico following in the order

The bureaus estimates are based
on the rate of increase between the

Stanley -WillistOn
Basket Ball Game

The Williston Community Center
basket ball team went to Stanley last
Thursday for game with the Stan
ley team. There was big turnout
at the game, the galleries and side
lines being filled with enthusiastic
spectators. The game was lively and
full of "pep" throughout but the Will
liston team proved too brawny and too
we'll trained for their opponents.
For the first five minutes of the
game Stanley was in the lead but
when the visitors got their bearings
in the strange hall the tide turned and
the score at the end was rather lop
sided-89 to 26 for Williston.
The lineup of the Williston team
was:
Center-M. r. Marston; forwards
Harding (captain), O. Cunningham;
guards-Jay Batten, Dewey Marston;
substitute Bobbie Teisk.
The Stanley team is composed of
business and professional men. After
the first five minutes they seemed to
lose control of their team work and
failed to follow up their shots which
cost them the heavy defeat.
Coach Donelson, who was former
ly with the university of Washington
has worked up a splendid athletic
spirit in Stanley and they took de-
feat very sportsmanlike. They will
come to Williston in a short time for
a return game and expect to have
stronger team and reverse the score.

HAULERS, MINERS,
OPERATORS, SETTLE
COAL STRIKE LASTED ONLY TWO
DAYS-HAULERS AND MINERS
RESUME WEDNESDAY
Operators COncede Part of Advance
Claimed by Men-Retail Price
Now $500

Demanding an advance Of 25 cents
for hauling and Is cents for mining
nearly all the men engaged in haul
ing Ignite coal from the mines to the
city and large number of the miners
announced Saturday evening that .
strike was on and refused to go to
work Monday. The teamsters con-
tended that the condition of the roads
and the weather, $40. hay and other
feed in proportion made it impossible
for them to make the wages they for
merly did. The miners claimed that
both powder and board is higher than
formerly and reduced their earnings
The haulers were receiving 70 cents
per ton from the Husebye mine, IS
from the Ellithorpe mine and $1.O0
from the Black Diamond, Breen and
Head Mines.
The miners received 80 cents per
2,1OO pounds for what is known as
entry work and 70 cents for room
work. There was no strike at the
Black Diamond mine except part Of
the haulers.
1t was rather freely conceded that
there was merit in the claims Of the
men and at least two of the mine own
ers say that if the men had made their
request sooner it would have been
granted quite as readily without
walkout as with one. The two days
interruption, they say, resulted in the
loss of few Of the miners, who left
for other points, and made the al
ready congested coal situation worse
Advance Granted
Monday afternoon the men met at
the court house and talked the situa-
tion over. The meeting was very
quiet and spirit of moderation and
fairness prevailed. They were entire
ly without organization but several
speakers discussed the situation and q
motion prevailed to appoint commit
tees from the haulers and miners to
wait on the operators. The follow
ing composed the committees: Haul
ers; A. Mcdonald, Louis Mcintyre,
Joe Running; Miners; Andy Scott, D.
Penman, J. Kelly.
At the conference the haulers were
offered an advance of 20 cents and
the miners an advance of 10 cents
1t was accepted and work resumed
Wednesday morning. AS result the
retail price has been advanced from
$2.75 to $500 per ton.

Base Ball Meeting
Next Tuesday Night

Williston will have q ball team next
summer-that is as good as settled.
It is high time to get ready-organize
and get lines out for players before
the good ones are all taken.
The fans and all in anywise inter-
ested are notified to attend meet
ing at H. v. Smiths Office next Tues
day evening at 8 o'clock. Over in
Montana there is some sentiment for
a league to include, perhaps, Glendive,
Sidney, Havre, Chinook, Glasgow and
Williston.
Several of last years players have
already written that they want to get
on with Williston again.

too, Joe Cutting and the editor hclc
a two day debate with w. J. Kelly or
the other side. But what is the use tt
argue with a person like Kelly--we
never made a dent in him. The fact
was w. J. was right but he could not
state his points in terms sufficiently
strong and sharp to penetrate--wel]
solid substances. Possibly Joe and
the editor held out after they had
been penetrated.
Where the Catch Comes
Here is where the 1884 adherents
slip cog-there is no turn made
where the machines start in, that's a
cinch, and none made at the last or
finish corner as the machines come out
at the end of the goth round-BUT.
that start and finish corner is turned
when the Goth round is begun. Just
start in and chase yourself around the
edge of rug 20 times and keep
count-that is what the problem edi-
tor did and it is convincing. Five
times or three times will serve quite
as we'll.
So YOU miss only one corner and
must turn 70 of them. The diagram
used herein proves by the small
squares. each of which represents e1
50. IT,. that the head or outside bind
er cuts three of the squares to one by
the inside binder, or difference of

Brawley News: Between 5000 ara
5000 acres of land will be added to
the irrigated area adjacent to Braw-
lev if GOO shares of stock are sold by
Water Company No. uncer the This
tie canal
By resolution passed by the board
OF directors Of the water company, Su-
perintendent +. H. Gaines is directed
to clean the Thistle canal and prepare
10 irtigate the land under that ditch
if the conditions are met.
Several years ago the Thistle ca
nal was constructed by private COM
pany. the water being obtained from
the No. s main canal at Superstition
ridge. under arrangements with the
company. The canal ran through sey-
,,al miles OF sandy land and the main
tcnance was excessive. After numer-
Gus attempts to keep the ditch open, it
was finally abandoned.
Shortage Of water on the West SIDE
caused the Iandholders to hesitate
about developing their land, and an in
sufficient amount of land was cult
vated to keep the canal banks free
from sand.
After q year or two Of struggle most
cf the landholders gave up the effort
temporarily.
Recently it was claimed that the
government would refuse longer to eX-
tend the time on which final proof
might be made, as an agent had in
lestigated the Thistle project and re-
ported its feasibility.
Claimants interested in the land to
he brought under this ditch have be-
gun anew to seek the construction of
the canal, and the directors of No.
3, believing that concerted effort
would result in the development Of
the entire tract, have lent their aid.
D. E. Doke. who was one Of the pro-
aoters Of the Thistle company, says
that between 5000 and 5000 acres of
land capable OF cultivation are includ-
ed in the land susceptible Of irrigation
from the Thistle.
Superintendent E. H. Gaines Of the
No. s company is preparing to make
the necessary surveys.
Following is the resolution passed
by the directors OF Water Company
No. s:
THAT oul superintendent be in
structed to reconstruct the Thistle ca
lal from its present terminus on Tract
