AZ SOLDIERS
NOW ACCEPTED

To date the local examining board
have secured az soldiers for Uncle
Sans first draft army. The coun
is to furnish 73 men for the first quota
and to date 300 registered men have
been examined. However, there are a
large number Of claims still in the
hands of the district board at Bis
marck from the first $50 who claimed
exemption on cccupational grounds
that have not been decided, as we'll p
about the same number from the sec
ond call just completed Saturday. The
claims for exemption on the grounds
of dependents filed by those examined
in the last quota called are still to be
decided by the local board ard :;
expected that there will be obtained
fom these three sources almost enough
to make the required number. In case
there is not, another call will have to
be made, but notices will not be sent
out until the claims filed at Bismarck
have been decided, so there will be no
figures available as to the number nee
essary to fill the quota.

LOCAL DOCTOR
SERVES COUNTRY


DR.. Jamison, who has practiced in
this city for some time, and who last
spring offered his services to the flag,
received notice the middle of last week
to hold himself in readiness for CALL
This came late Saturday evening, and
was to the effect that he should start
on the first train east, which was the
early train Sunday morning. He was
ordered to report at Fort Riley, Kas.,
to receive training. There are, or will
be about 10000 doctors assembled
there, which gives one good idea of
the care that Uncle Sam intends to
give his Kahki lads. We understand
that DR.. Jamison has been given a
commission as first lieutenant. I'm
der the new ruling by the war depart
ment the doctors will receive about
the same amount of training as the
infantry, as regards marching and
drill, also in the manual Of arms, for
the M. DIS now carry rifle the same
as the common slider, and in case of
a desperate fight they are expected to
turn in and burn their share Of pow
der. The doctor was unable to bid
goodbye to his many friends here
owing to the suddenness
but he informed US that he likes Dew
lis Lake and that if. he is spared in
this conflict that when peace comes
and he is discharged he intends to re-
turn here and resume his practice
We hope he does, as he is royal
good fellow, and has proven himself
an able practitioner.

OSCAR Il. Will;
SEEDMAN DIES

Oscar H. Will, aged So, pioneer
seedman of the northwest, died at his
home at Bismarck at 2:15 Sunday
morning, after an eight months ill
ness resulting from general break
down. Funeral services were held
Monday morning at Mr.. Willis home.
Rev. Bruce E. Jackson officiating. He
is survived by a widow, two children,
Mrs. Mable Will-Lumry and George F.
Will, and two sisters, Mrs. John Ken
yon and Mrs. Mary Turtle of SYRIA
cuse, N. Y.
Mr.. Will came to North Dakota in
1880 when twenty-five years old and
took up homestead southeast of
Menoken. In 1882 he established the
first North Dakota nursery in connec-
tion with which he soon added the
seed business. 1t is due to Mr.. Willis
experiments with native corns, grown
by the Mandan and Arickara Indians,
that this state and Montana have been
permanently placed in the corn grow
ing belt.

FAMILY reunion
HELD AT CRARY

Sunday last there was family re-
union of the Crary families living in
North Dakota and nearly thirty rela-
tives gathered together for the first
time in many years. In fact it was
the first time in over thirty years that
the Crary brothers and sisters had
met together, and to say the least it
was most pleasant occasion.
The Crary brothers were natives of
of New York state, and in the early
eighties the older ones drifted to
North Dakota, and later the others
followed, until at the present time the
six boys and one of the girls live in
North Dakota, the other sister living
in Milwaukee,, Wis.
The brothers and sisters who met
were John H. Crary of Crary, w. A.
Crary of Grand Forks, C. B. Crary of
Stanley, A. M. Crary of Hanpden, Ed
ward B. Crary of Crary and E. M.
Crary of Devils Lake. Mrs. H. B.
Olin of Crary and Mrs. Frances Had
ley, of Milwaukee, Wis Besides these
brothers and sisters there were Mrs.
John M. Crary and son, Rolla, and H.
B. Ohlin and daughter Marion of
Crary, Mrs. A. M. Crary and children,
Frances, Robert, Milton and Marie,
Mrs. A. w. Crary and children, Marie,
John, Vincent and twin babies. Neil,
young son of c. B., Of Stanley, Mrs.
C. E. (Crary) Currier and two daugh-
ters, Lorraine and Doris and Miss Ne
tie Thompson Of Edmore, Mr.. Olin,
father of H. B. Olin, Mrs. E. M. Crary
and daughter Lois, Mrs. w. A. Crary
of Grand Forks, and Mrs. S. J. Dean
and the Dean twins, Of Crary, and
close friends of the Crary family.
A sumptous dinner was served, af-
ter which the afternoon was spent in
visiting and telling tales of the youn-
ger days., back in old New York, and
the gathering lasted until evening.
Pictures were taken Of the brothers
and sisters and also of the whole par
ty. Possibly never again will the
whole family ever meet again under
such favorable circumstances and en-
joy such a time.

SOLDIER BOYS
HELP FARMERS

Word was received from the author
tiles at Bismarck Tuesday morning by
Capt. Lonnevick and Capt. Grant in
command of Companys D. and G, that
the boys in their commands could be
released for work in the harvest fields.
Shortage of labor in the state is gen
orally believed to be the reason for
this order, and it is going to be the
means of helping the farmers out of
bad situation if conditions in other
parts of the sta:e are the same as here
While it is not compulsory that the
boys leave camp they can do so II
they wish, and while still drawing
their pay from the government will ps
able to make a nice little stake for
personal expenses after they are call
ed into service. That the order was
we'll received is attested to by the
large number of boys who availed
themselves of the opportunity within a
few hours after the order was receiv-
ed. There are about 225 soldiers in
the two companies, and farmers in the
vicinity who are still in need of heir
should apply for this help, as a ma
jority of the boys are off farms and
make vey desirable class of farm Ia
borers as they are acquainted with
this kind of work.
The I. w. WIS who have been hang
ing around here waiting for $5 or Sc
per day, may now move on.

THOMAS CONNOLLY
PASSES AWAY
ANOTHER OLD TIMER CALLED
TO HIS REWARD AFTER LONG
ILLNESS.

Sunday morning of this week Thom-
as Connolly of this city was called by
death after a long and serious illness.
Nearly three years ago Mr.. Connolly
was stricken with paralysis, and since
that time he has been practically help
less, but while he was an aged man,
his strong constitution caused him to
make noble fight against great odds,
and he finally succumbed.
t'Tom" Connolly, eldest son of Mar
tina and Joseph Connolly, was born at
Waterloo, Ont, May z, 1847. He spent
his boyhood there and on July 18,
1877 was married to Elizabeth White
at South Hampton, Ont. Mr.. Connol-
ly took his bride to the west and they
located at Briston, la. Several years
later they moved to Minnesota and be-
tween twenty-five and thirty years
ago located in Devils Lake. They have
three times helped in opening and de-
veloping new country. In Devils
Lake the family is esteemed and high
ly respected.
Nine children blessed the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Connolly. OF these five
are living: Mrs. J. o. Plante of South
Bend, Ind; J. T. Connolly, Edmore;
w. Howard Connolly, city; Mrs. ]. 4.
Garvey, Cavalier; and Miss Margaret
who lives at home. There are also
three brothers and a sister surviving;
James, city; w. D., Clarksville, Ia,
and James of Toronto, and Mrs. Ed
Cardwell of Billings, Mont.
Mr.. and Mrs. Plante have been here
during the summer. Attorney Garvey
and family j. T. Connolly were also
here. Mrs. Cardwell was here and
Mr.. Garvey's parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Garvey Of Grafton.

AIRCRAFT COST
CUT IN HALF
UNDER GOVERN
MENT BOARD STILL MAY LOW.
Err PRICE OF MACHINES.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Manufacture
of aircraft in great numbers under
the Aircraft Production Board, it was
learned today, has reduced the cost of
airoplanes one half, with the proba-
bility that the price to the government
eventually will be about one-third Of
the normal cost of the machines be-
fore the plans of the board were car
ried out.
Prompt Delivery Assured.
In addition, it was said authorita-
lively that satisfactory progress is be-
tion, nursing not only a continuous
ton, nisuring not only a continuous
supply of the machines now being
turned out, but also prompt deli,
of the fighting types early next year.
The statement was made in connec-
tion with published reports regarding
airoplane contracts made by the army
and NAVY between September, 1916
and May 1917, tending to show that
the government was compelled by the
manufacturers to pay exhorbitant
prices.
Demands Not So Great.
Compared with prevailing prices il
was said, the cost Of airoplanes in that
period appeared excessive, but the
limited nature '0f f1--"-iopfane the air opfane IN:
dustry at the time naturally made the
output more costly. Thousands o1
machines are being ordered now where
a score were being sought before.

BOYS
VISIT |A|N01
SIX HUNDRED YOUNG MEN AS
SIGNED TO PLACES ON DREAD
NAUGHTS PASS THROUGH THE
CITY TUESDAY EVENING.

Two special trains from the west
carrying sailors for the large battle
ships, passed throught the city Tues
day evening, each remaining in the
city about twenty minutes. The first
train carrying 304 young men arrived
at $50 and the other train arrived an
hour later, carrying 302. The young
men, attired in their white caps and
blue sailor suits, made a rather i'm
pressive appearance. Many Of them
visited the business section of the city
and commandeered the various taxis
as well as private autos, enjoying a
short ride about the city.
These young men have been in train
ing at Bremerton, on the Puget sound:
for the past six months and they come
from about every state in the Union.
There were several North Dakota boys
on the train, including three from De-
wills Lake. The writer met D. L. De-
Silva, who enlisted from Plentywood,
Mont. His parents resided on home
stead near Lansford, 80 miles north of
Minot, in the early days, his father
dying twelve years ago and his moth

trains were all assigned to places as
fremen, with an opportunity to work
their way up. They are bound fol
eastern port and will be assigned to
the battleships North Dakota, Texas
Philadelphia, Arizona, Michigan and
several other dreadnaughts. They
declared that they received warm
reception all along the line.
At Glasgow, Mont, the citizens
gave the boys about $40 worth of to-

BOY SCOUTS
HONOR LEADER

Winthrop Miller left Saturday ev-
ening for Minneapolis where he will
enter the officers training camp. Since
coming to this city early in the spring
he has been at the head Of the Boy
Scout organization. In appreciation
of what he has done for, them the
Scouts went to the depot in J
where Mr.. Miller was pesented with a
wrist watch by his young admirers.
There was genuine sorrow depicted on
the faces of the assembled young
manhood, who were there to bid good
by to their Scoutmaster who had so
faithfully and kindly watched over
their young lives while in his charge
the past summer. In appreciation of
their gift Mr.. Miller wrote the follow
ing note while aboard the train en-
route to his destination. It has been
handed to us with the request that we
publish it:
CEN route to Ft. Smelling.
"Dear Boy Scouts: You touched my
heart by coming down to the station
to see me off, and your kind remem-
brance of a Radcliffe wrist watch to
Eight my way was too much for me
to stand up under.
Nothing could have pleased me
more, and I shall never forget the
smiling faces and warm handshake of
the many dear friends I have in Dev-
lis Lake.
"The encouragement you have given
me to make good is tremendous
help-more than any of you realize,
and I feel as if I may rightfully call
your splendid city my home. Even
tho you do not hear from me, boys, I
shall not forget you, and I can honest
ly say that you are the finest set Of
young manhood with whom have ev-
er been associated.
"With sincere best wishes and kind
regards to all, am,
Faithfully yours,

R0LLA BAND
At CAMP

The Rolla band furnished the music
for the soldier boys entertainment at
Chautauqua Sunday and did credit to
themselves in every sense Of the word.
It is to be regretted that more enjoy
ment was not added to the occasion by
the presence of the local band but we
understand that, not knowing any,
thing about the event, about third
of the members had made other ar
rangements for the day, some of them
business arrangements which their oc-
cupations kept them from attending to
during the week. AS things some
times happens the particular ones who
would be unable to be present played
instruments that were very essential
to the production of good music, and
rather than go before large out-of-
town audience with a half band they
decided not to go, much as they would
liked to have accommodated the boys.
Some of the members have been CEN
sured for not being loyal in this in
stance but they say that throughout
the whole of the past summer they
have played every time they have been
called upon, both in town and at Chau-
tauqua and that they would have glad
ly filled this engagement that they
known it a few days earlier. They
stand ready and willing to give their
services in such cause as last Sun
days any time either in the past
or in the future.

Michigan, N. D., Aug. 26.---(Spec-
iaI---In spectacular fire here this
evening the Duluth elevator burned to
the ground, and the Farmers elevator
was slightly damaged by the flames in
spite of the efforts of hundreds of peo-
pie who assembled and helped to fight
the flames.
Only a few loads of grain had been
hauled to the elevator so the damage
is practically confined to the loss of
the building. The flames spread to
the roof of the nearby Farmers ele-
vator, but the building was saved af-
ter stubborn hattie.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
the flames being noticed at the bottom,
of the elevator at 9 o'clock. Sounding
of an alarm was unnecessary as the
flames shooting over a hundred feet
into the air could be seen for miles
around few minutes after the fire
had started.
Two hours later the sparks were
still flying from the ruins the build
ing, and constant vigilance was nee
essary to prevent other buildings
around the city from catching fire

are sufficient, since there are three
