where she was built. She was greeted
by a volley of blasts from tugs and
other passing craft. The vessel is ca

LOCAL MEN SEE WOLF POINT
BRIDGE IN USE-MONDAK'S
IS NEARLY COMPLETE

President r. NJ .Calderwood of the
Missouri River Bridge Co., accom-
panied by Engineer H. r. Evans went
to Wolf Point, Mont, Saturday and
were shown the bridge that was put
in at that point last season. The
bridge is pronounced a success in
every way, including financially. A
large Saturday traffic was passing
over it-among other things a seven
ton tractor crossed without the slight
est difficulty or danger so far as could
be observed. The method of guying
the bridge and other essential fea-
lures were carefully noted.
Sunday Mr.. Calderwood and Mr.
Evans returned as far as Mondak and
were there met by two cars of Will
iston men, including Mr.. Wegley, Mr.
Hyde, Mr.. Westergaard, Mr.. Win
gate, Captain Bailey and others. The
Mondak bridge is nearly completed
1t differs in some features from the
Wolf Point structure and the two
methods We're compared and discuss
ed.
The local bridge company is holding
frequent meetings and preparing to
begin the work of actual construction
at an early date.

Club Busy With Work
OF Burdick Campaign

A meeting of the officers of the Bur-
dick For Governor Club was held Sat-
urday night. A plan for a vigorous
campaign that will cover the state
like blanket was formulated and or
ganization to carry it forward COM
pleted. Information gathered from
all parts of the state indicates that an
energetic campaign will make Mr..
Burdick's nomination certain. The
more candidates who enter the field
the better for Mr.. Burdick's chances
is the way the club feels about the
matter, for he is personally the most
popular, is conceded to be the logical
man for the Office, and can hold his
Individual strength against all comers.
Mr.. Burdick departed Sunday to fill
a long list of requested speaking dates
in the central and southern part of
the state.

Candidates Slow
With Advertising

Secretary of State Hall reports
that up to date not a single candidate
has filed his manuscript for the pub
licity pamphlet. He calls attention
to the fact that the time has been
shortened ten days, and it is pos
sible that some may be laboring
under the idea that there is more
time than there really is. The last
day upon which copy for the pamphlet
can be received by the secretary of
state is May 8 and Hall says positive
ly none will be received after that
date. This is less than three weeks,
and while this is sufficient length
of time, yet he calls attention to the
shortened time in order that none
may be mistaken.
The state pamphlet is mailed to
every voter in the state. County and
legislative candidates may avail
themselves of the service. The state
"Blue Book" gives prices and other
information.

THE PIXIES SPLENDID

The Pixie play, or cantata, given
last Thursday evening at the Armory,
by about $50 children Of the schools,
proved a brilliant success. Exceed
ingly pretty and entertaining through
the artless art and grace of child
hood, the performance was a credit
to the schools and those who directed
and trained the children.
The patronage was so good and the
public so appreciative that there has
been some consideration of repeti-
ton. The Pixie spectacle was an
other demonstration Of the value of
a play house Of the ample stage and
auditorium capacity afforded by the
Armory. The good attendance brot
the schools receipts of about $500.

F. E. Becker Buys
Partners Interest

May 1st F. E. Becker became sole
proprietor of the Williston Steam
Laundry, having purchased the inter-
est of his partner, G. H. Merrifield.
Under the management Of these gen.
tlemen the business of the laundry
has grown to large proportions, made
up of both city patronage and basket
business, attracted by the excellent
quality of work turned out. The large
force Of skilled help employed makes
the concern one that adds materially
to the city's total pay roll.
Mr.. Merrifield's future plans have
not been learned.

Everybody's Doing 1t

Doing What? Why cleaning up
and Painting up. Four hundred
children have signed the pledge
cards to help make our City clean,
healthful and beautiful and they
need your help. Are you doing
your share? If you are we'll
just make Williston shine. If you
have not yet started, begin now,
right now. Swat that fly, pick
up that waste paper, burn that
rubbish and do away with that,
garbage pile. Spade up corner
of your back yard and put in some
lettuce and raddish seeds, plant
some golden glow, or marigolds,
or bachelor buttons along the
fence there, some California pop
pies in that sunny place and some
pansies there in the shade, and
plant some kind of a tree.
If your bird house has no ten
ant yet, scatter the crumbs from
the table near it and keep a
shallow pan filled with fresh wa
ter handy. Let the birds know
they can mack a good living on
the premises and they're sure to
come.
If you planned to move to one
of two towns and, in entering one,
you passed, between rows of
tumbledown, unpainted buildings
and dirty yards and piles of tin
cans and garbage and in the 9TH
er you saw only rows of neatly
painted buildings, clean back
yards and flowers instead of tin
cans, which place would you
choose? Thousands pass through
Williston every year and we want
them to remember us for that
clean little city of the West. So
you clean up and paint up. We
can't afford to have dirty town.

MANAGER ARR|vES,BALL
PLANS WElLUNDER WAY
MANY PLAYERS WANT TO GET
ON WITH WILLISTON-TRAIN-
ING BEGINS SOON

Playing Manager Clarence T. Mar
shall, who will have charge of the
coaching and team building work Of
Williston's 1916 base ball affairs, ar
rived from Rock Island, ILL.,, last
evening. The "Big Boy" as they call
him where he is we'll known in base
ball circles has been working out with
the Rock Island squad and is in fine
condition. Before leaving he was ac-
corded the privilege of pitching the
opening game of the Three league
season for Rock Island against Mo-
line. The r. I. team lost the game,
2 to 0, but it was not the fault of
their boxman as the score shows.
The base ball board will meet to-
night and compare notes with the
new manager with a view to getting
busy on training season work. A
large bunch of local material is in
sight and several players from a dis
tance have indicated that they are
coming to Williston to take a chance
on making good.
J. w. Jackson, financial member of
the board, was out with committee
of "experts" this week and met with
splendid response on the part of the
fans and friends of the game. The
ground was not much more than half
covered but will be completed soon.
Voluntary subscriptions to the fund
by persons whom the committee
might not feel at liberty to approach,
or who might be overlooked, will be
thankfully received. We will need a
strong team this season for they are
framing up all along the line and re-
quests for future date are coming in
The base ball name election goes
merrily on. Don't forget to vote and
help select name to be hitched onto
the 1916 team. Ballot boxes at all
three drug stores Equal suffrage is
in force. The polls close next Mon
day.

''Public StenOgrapher
Three Miles South

The correspondence Of the young
men homesteaders on certain part
of the Berthold Reservation is likely
to be kept right up to date. There's
a reason. According to her picture
in the Minneapolis Journal Miss olga
Tennesen, holder of No. 5, is good
looking as we'll as good stenog.
A story under Minneapolis date
line says:
Miss Olga Tennesen, 2439 Eleventh
avenue south, became the worlds first
stenographer-farmer when she filed
on the fifth best claim of 700 thrown
open to settlement by the federal gov
ernment in the Fort Berthold reserva-
ton, North Dakota.
Miss Tennesen picked one of the
quarter sections lying beside the site
of the new town on the reservation,
and said that while living on the farm
she would do the stenographer work
of the community. When she moves
to her claim to make her home in ac-
cordance with the agreement with the
government, it will be the second time
in her life that she ever was on a
farm; the other time she only stayed
seven days, she said. Miss Tennesen
is member of the 1907 graduating
class of the South High School, and
entered the Fort Berthold land draw
ing when she went to Minot on q
pleasure trip last fall.

LEADERS Of IRE[AND'S
REBELLION SURRENDER
LEADERS GIVE UP AND RANK
AND FILE FOLLOW THEIR
EXAMPLE
London, May IAN official an
nouncement was made this afternoon
that all rebel leaders in Dublin had
surrendered.

Dublin, May 1.-Rebels of the rank
and file followed the example of their
leaders and confessed the cause of the
Irish republic was lost by laying down
their arms at the foot of the Parnell
monument in Sackville street and
surrendering to British troops. About
$50 of them who fought since Monday
in this central area marched out from
their strongholds under a white flag
and gave themselves up. A few con-
tinued sniping from lairs, difficult to
locate, on roofs, and among the raft
ers of buildings nearby.
James Connolly, one Of the leaders
of the uprising, said by government
officials to be prisoner, is wounded
in the castle. Rebels in the country
districts are also being prevailed up
on to surrender.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press visited the entire area of dis
turbance Sunday. DISSOLUTION and de-
struction showed how severe was the
fighting. The havoc appears more
extensive than it actually is, owing
to the amount of debris.
Every window of the law courts has
been shattered. The rebels had held
the building for a week. Valuable
law reference books and furniture
were utilized to barricade windows
and through the interstices between
the bulky volumes the rebels sniped
without cessation day and night and
were fired on in turn until they were
compelled to evacuate the premises.
Houses all around were dented with
bullet marks. Some Of them were
barricaded with thick oak planks.
Today the streets were full Of
curious people. They were deprived
of food until the authorities made pro.
vision for them. Down Corkhill and
King Edward streets strong guards
of troops were still in evidence and
every passerby was challenged.

D0DD'S CAVALRY STOP
MEX|CANS At PASS
WASHINGTON WAITING FOR RE-
PORT FROM SCOTT ON
CONFERENCE

Douglas, Ariz., May 3.-An attempt
by body of de facto cavalry, the ad
vance guard of General Armulfo Co.
mez, to enter chihuahua through
Pulpito pass was blocked today by
American troops according to re-
liable report received here from
American sources.
The Mexicans, according to the re-
ports, were under the command of
Colonel Jesus Maria Augierre and had
penetrated 18 miles into the pass be-
fore their movement was discovered
by United States military aeroplane
which reported the presence of the
de facto troops to the American COM
mander.
In Strong Position
The American troops are said to
have been drawn up in strategic po-
sition to hold the pass and Colonel
Aguierre did not attempt to press
forward but went into camp and dis
patched messages to the rear, pre-
sumably to communicate with General
Gomez.
Washington, May 2-Developments
here in the Mexican situation await
ed tonight advices from General
Scott as to his further conferences
with General Obregon at Ell Paso.
The war department has received no
report whatever from the chief of
staff up to a late hour.
Admins istration officials declared the
situation to be unchanged in any re-
spect after President Wilson and his
cabinet had conferred at the regular
Tuesday meeting.
There was no indication tonight of
any change in the determination of
President Wilson not to accept any
proposal Of the Carranza government
conditioned on the immediate with
drawal of the American forces in
Mexico.
Promises Big Army
From Mexican sources it was
learned today that, based upon the
withdrawal of the Ameri-

CAUSE FOR CONCERN
N GERMAN SITUATION
TOO MUCH TINE CONSUMED IN
PREPARING THEIR ANSWER
TO OUR DEMANDS

Washington, May 1.-Two weeks
have passed since the United States
dispatched to Germany it's note de-
manding that an abandonment of pres
ent methods Of submarine warfare
Immediately be declared and effec-
tive, and tonight the state depart
ment was still without and definite
information indicating that the de-
mand would be complied with.
Grave Concern
As the days go by and no reply
comes from Berlin and Ambassador
Gerard sends no word regarding the
attitude of the German government,
an air of grave concern is beginning
to manifest itself in administration
circles.
Public officials continue to preserve
an air of optimism. Privately no at
tempt is made to conceal a contrary
feeling, and the feeling is certain to
become more pronounced unless some
definite news is Forthcoming over
night.
No Simple Response
It is felt here that the very length
of time which has been consumed by
the German government in preparing
reply in itself indicates that the
communication will not take the
shape of simple response to the di-,
rect and clear cut issue raised in the.
American note. 1t is feared that the
reply is likely to assume an argu-
mentative character, which scarcely
can be regarded as meeting the re-
uuirements of the United States.
No Decision
Berlin, via London, May 2.-Herr
Won Jagow, the foreign minister, at
the reopening of the sitting Of tho
budget committee Of the Reistag to-
day, said the government had not
reached decision with regard to tho
situation that has arisen from the
American note to Germany regarding
Germany's submarine campaign. As
soon as the imperial chancellor returns
from headquarters, Herr Won Jagow
added, he would give the committee
definite instructions.
Treasurer Takes Part
Berlin, via London, May 2.-1t has
been learned that DR.. Karl Helfferich,
the imperial treasurer, is at head
quarters participating in the con-
ferences on the American note, and
the framing of an answer thereto.
The Frankfurter Zeitung says Am
bassador Gerard twice dined with EN-
peror William and that he also was
able to see a German post at an i'm
portant point on the front.
