Commercial Club Will
Buy Coal Supply Early
Decided to Order Three Carloads Of
Coal at Meeting Held Tuesday,
Other Matters Talked

There was only small attend
ance at the regular monthly meet
ing Of the Fort Yates Commercial
Club held at the Foresters' Hall
Tuesday evening.
The principal matter taken up
during the evening was the CO.
operative buying Of coal for the
members of the Club. Owing to
the threatened shortage of cars this
fall on account Of crop movement it
was deemed advisable to order coal
now and get it delivered early in
the fall before the railroads are
blockaded.
1t was figured out that among
those present three fcarloads of coal
would fill their needs and it was
decided to have the secretary of the.
meeting, F. B. Fiske, secure prices
on same. 1t was also decided to
have the secretary take up the mat
ter of having the coal brought down
from Bismarck by boat on the Mis-
souri, river with the Benton Packet
Company.
Another matter taken up was the
proposition of Mr.. jacobson, the
ferry-man, who is now operating a
ferry across the Missouri river at
Vanderbilt, 18 miles below Fort
Yates, who for a bonus of 5000 has
offered to move his ferry north to
the point where the Four Mile creek
empties into the Missouri. 1t was
decided that a ferry there would be
OF no advantage to the interests OF
Fort Yates, and no action was
taken.
Louis Endres suggested that steps
be taken to compile the history OF
Fort Yates for future reference and
a committee composed of Frank
Fiske, Rev. Father Bernard and j.
NJ. Carignan was named to gather
all data available. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Fiske will edit the matter
and it will be published in the
Pioneer from time to time.
The history of Fort Yates will
make very interesting reading and
will be Of much value in aftertime.
AT Fort Yates has taken place
many important events in the his
tory of the state, particularly with
reference to military exploits and
Indian campaigns. For many years
it was the most important military
post on the Missouri river.
The history of the Sioux Indians
in North Dakota is also closely as.
sociated with Fort Yates, and it is
possible that the story may be pub.
lished in book form.

and Kaufman and Lillian Pathe pie tulesf also will feature each performance.
 The Broadway Revue, headliner the first half of the week, is one of the cleverest musical comedies now in vaude- vile. It carries with it a large number of particularly pretty girls who know how to dance and sing to the entire satisfaction of the audience. The playlet has been declared by critics to be one of the best of the season, and has att tracted much attention throughout the Keith circuit.
 The Joy Riders" headliners for the last half of the week, is musical melange of an entirely different type direct from the Broadway Revue. It handles entirely different situations. The girls who appear in it are just as pretty as the girls in the first half of the week. The jokes, the songs, the dances all are very clever, it is declared, and the play let should attract attention from all lovers of musical comedy.
 The Five Violin Girls are not only violin artists, but they do bit of singing and dancing as well, and they are very pretty. So pretty are the girls in the entire billing for the Lyric this week that it has led patrons of Keith vaudeville in other cities to ask who manages to concentrate all-the pretty girls on Keith stages?"
 Other attractive features of the bill include wire walkers, blackface comed- ians, equilibrists singers and dancers monologuists, and several other enter tainers of a varied sort.
 On the bill for the first half of the week will be the Broadway Revue Kramer and Kent, two black dots; Weisse troupe, ''peers of the peach; Lilyan and Boggs singing and dancing; Cunningham and Marion in an acrobatic talk feat.
 | On the bill for the second half of the week there will be the Joy Riders ant the Five Violin Girls, and in addition such well known acts as Kaufman and Lillian, comedy duo, Weston and Claire smart entertainers, and the Four Wire Kings. sensational marvels on the wire
