DR.. STEARNS LAUDED
BY TOWER CITY PAPER
Fargo College Man Pleases Western
Cass County Residents With
His Address.

"Dr. Stearns Was at His Best" is
the caption that the Tower City
Topics places over an article in it's
current issue regarding Rargo college
day at Tower City last Sunday.
DR. w. Stearns gave one of the best
addresses to which we have ever
listened" says The Topics. THE first
part of the talk was made thoroughly
interesting by his portrayal of how all
through the country that which few
years ago was thought to be merely the
waste material of large factories and
packing houses is today being so util-
lied as to net the manufacturers as
much profit as the material which
was retained" DIR. Stearns then spoke
upon how rapidly the world is progress
sing in efficiency, the efficient man be-
ing the only one in actual demand. In
fact it is impossible to keep the thor
ough efficient man out of employment.
portant, If not the most important of
individuals was the next touched upon
on the theory that he is rapidly putting
into practice that for every dollar he
takes out of the soil he must put back
one hundred cents
These thoughts finally led up to
the all-important one of giving the
child the proper training in the home
environment and thus prepare him to
fill his place properly in a more pro-
gressive day and age than has yet been
SEEN"
The Topics also says that the two
solos sung by Rev. Franz Sucher, dir
ector in the Fargo College Conserva-
tory of Music, were very much en-
joyed"

Sallee, Cardinals
Star Hurler, Suspended
BY Manager Higgins

New York, June 17.-Harry Sallee,
star pitcher Of the st. Louis National
league club, was indefinitely suspended
yesterday by Manager Miller Higgins
of the club, as the result of an alter
cation between the manager and the
player last night. Sallee tore up his
contract during the argument, Mr..
Higgins said, and left the city.
'Sallee has been disgruntled and dis
satisfied for some time,"' Mr.. Higgins
said. He had not broken training,
however. There have been rumors for
some time that he was to be purchased
by the New York club and these re-
ports added to his dissatisfaction with
the st. Louis club. There was no foun-
dation for the reports, as the New
York club does not tamper with play
ers. There is no deal on in which Sal
lee is involved and he will not be sold
or traded to any club"

Lucky Escape For
Occupants When Two
Automobiles Collide

Ray, N D.. June 17.-Peter Berg
with his new Overland and Louis Dahl,
who has a new Dodge, had a narrow
escape from having their cars sent to
the junk pile. when they had a COLI
sion on the country road near the Fla
ten corner northwest of Ray. Both
cars were filed with passengers and
travelling at the rate of between 30 and
35 miles per hour. When nearing the
corner they both raced to see which
car would pass the corner first, as a
result they bumped each other.
The Berg machine was turned COM
pletely over and occupants thrown out,
and the tenders Of the auto were
smashed. The Dahl machine also had
the tenders and running board, and
one lamp torn off. Luckily for the oc-
cupants, and drivers Of the cars, no
one was seriously hurt.

HISTORICAL LETTER NO. 81


which the Indian legend named
"Spiritwater."
The first Christian religious service
held in Ramsey county was conducted
by minister named Bacon. who was
riding on horseback through that
region. The place Of meeting was the
home of Mai. T. S. Benham. two and
one-half miles east of the present
satanic city; the congregation consist
ed of twenty-five men. A similar serv-
ice was also held by the same minister
in the home of John McDavitt. at
Poplar grove. six miles southwest of
the present city Of Devils Lake. in
which locality Mr.. Hale resided about
that time, in September or October.
1882.
Major Benham arrived from Illinois
in April. 1882. and as it was customary
to locate townsites at many points
where rumors had indicated that the
prospective railroad would establish
a station. Major Benham erected the
first Benham house on his homestead.
He afterwards moved 1t to the city
where it now forms a part of the
popular Sevilla. The enterprizing
major and his estimable wife some
years since removed to the hub city Of
Boston. Mass. where they celebrated
the ROlQen anniversary or tnelr
marriage in their home on historic
Beacon street. on which occasion their
many old friends in Devils Lake ex-
tended to them congratulations in an
appropriate manner.
The first map of Ransom county,
was made by Col. Heber M. Creel, the
founder Of primitive Creelburg later
named Creel City, and since Devils
Lake, on the north shore Of the lake
thus named.
Colonel Creel came to Fort Totten,
March 20, 1880, and was at that time
second lieutenant of the Seventh U,
S. cavalry, stationed there. The
versatile colonel must have had a
vision, judging from the several lines
of railroad which rumor had projected
and he had indicated on his map
While those thus outlined have not
been built, others have been construct
ed which give the satanic city easy
and direct communication with the
outside world.
The Northern Pacific passes the
west end Of the lake at Minnewaukan
connecting with the transcontinental
Great Northern line at Leeds. The
Great Northern, Aneta cutoff, crosses
Pelican Point, another branch leaves

WILL G. n. BUILD
LEWISTOWN BRANCH?
Developments at Fessenden Indicate
1t Willis Taking Options.

Fessenden, N. D.. June 17.-That
the information first made public that
the Great Northern railroad would
build it's proposed new line from New
Rockford to Lewistown soon, and
that it would build on the survey
through Fessenden, was authentic is
further emphasized this week when
it became known locally that the rail-
road intended taking up the options
as soon as they became due. and some
of them are nearing that time.
T. L. Beiseker, local representative
of the railroad confirmed this as re-
garC& the taking up of options.
P. H. Fahey. who gave an option
for his Fessenden city property. this
week secured another lot upon which
to move his house, and expects soon
to do so, making the transfer of land
for right of-way complete with the
railroad company.
1t is understood that some work
has been done in the way of securing
right-of-way in the country and
that this phase of the work will be
taken UP thoroughly very soon.
