don adding flour mill to its line of
home industries before the close of
the present season. For upwards of
q year past the Commercial club of
this city has had a Touring mill on
its list of public improvements that
Langdon needed and had got to have.
At the regular meeting OF the club
a committee composed of Messrs j..
B. Boyd, N. C. Crockett and r. T..
Burke were named to investigate the
advisability of securing for Langdon
Midget flour mill, with at least a
five hundred barrel capacity and sim.
liar in style to mills that for the past
two years have been in operation at
Edmore, New Salem and other points
in this state. and giving satisfaction
in every way.
The first step taken by the commit.
tee was to have Mr.. A. G. Tilton. a
representative of the Home Milling
Company, of Chicago, come here and
at special meeting of the CONNER
cial club held last Thursday evening,
explain thoroughly the proposition
which the Home Milling Company
was willing to take up with local fl.
nancial backing in installing -four
mill in Langdon.
MIR. Tilton stated that to build and
equip mill such as the Home Mill
ing Company was introducing into
this state and other sections Of the
Northwest, represents an outlay of
about $14, 900 and that his company
asks that some portion of that amount
be subscribed by Langdon people,
though not to exceed one half and
probably less. He stated that after
the completion of the mill and when
it was ready for operating. running
expenses to the amount of from
1000 to $40, 900 could be furnished
the local management, with which to
meet the running expenses and prop.
erly start the mill up in business, by
his company at low rate of interest.
Thus insuring the mill at all times
being able to compete and take care
of all orders received for the manu-
facture of flour. The mill is to have
a local board Of directors, men who
will be best able to recognize the de.
mands of conditions here, but the
major control of the business would
for the present remain in the hands
of the Home Milling Co., composed of
men of means and experience who
know the milling business from A to
q. This company is large enough to
insure the Langdon mill of at all
times having an outlet on the worlds
market for their aurplus product.
The Home Milling Company is also
placing in North Dakota one boss mill

to Unexpected Attack of Heart
Failure Last Week

Mrs. William Dickson, of Hannah,
departed this life at the family home
on Thursday morning, March lst.

heart failure and her sudden taking

shock to the people of the community
in which she had lived for over thirty
years past.
The funeral was held Sunday at
two o'clock in the afternoon from the
Presbyterian church, Rev. w. E.
Kelley, the pastor officiating, his re-

weather, was filled to its capacity
with sorrowing relatives and friends,
while many floral offerings beautiful

TWO QUESTION COME UP
At LANGDON'S ELECTION
Voters to Express Their Views in
Regard to Installing Sewerage
and Waterworks

Langdon will hold its annual city
election Monday, April End, when one
half of the board of aldermen retire
and one new member of the city
council from each of the three wards
will be elected in their place-or as
has usually been the case, the incum.
bent reelected for another term.
The three retiring aldermen at this
springs election are John j. Boyd,
in the First Ward; VIM. Stranger, in
the Second Ward; and T. B. Hankey,
in the Third Ward. The only likeli-
hood of a change in the lineup in the
council chamber for the ensuing mu-
nicipal year apparent at the present
time would seem to be in the First
Ward. Alderman Boyd stating that
his contemplated business investments
elsewhere in the state make it impos.
sible for him to consider standing for
reelection.
The name of M. o. Strom, the hard
ware man, has been mentioned as a
possibility as successor to Alderman
Boyd in the First Ward, but whether
he has decided to make the run has
not been learned.
An additional interest in the elec.
tion, and one which should help to
get out the vote in what promises to
be somewhat of tame affair are two
additional questions to be voted on.
One will be for the purpose of Sc.
curing an expression of the voters of
the city as to their views on the ques-
tion of the city installing sewerage
and waterworks system. The vote at
this time does not mean the city at
THU time contemplates taking any ac-
:ua step in the matter but it is mere
ly for the purpose of getting the
sentiment of the voters in this impor-
tant matter. Some three months ago
the city had Civil Engineer Dodge, of
Devils Lake, make preliminary sur
vey TO ascertain the levels which the
instAlling of drainage and water
WORKS system would require. Copies
of his report to the council are to be
mailed before election to each of the
voters whose names appear on the re-
gistration lists SO as to enable an in
teiligent vote being taken in the mat.
ter.
There viii! aIso be another ballot
for the consideration of the voter
when he goes to the polls at the city
election on Monday, April 2nd. this
will be for the purpose of the city
council being able to find out whether
the people of Langdon will give the
city authority to increase the IL
brary appropriation from 5000 to
$500 per annum. The growth of the
library and its ieId of usefulness in
recent years, together. with the extra
expense entailed in its maintenance
in it's new quarters are among the
points put forward by the library 8
board of management in asking the
city for an increase of its annual ap-
preparation.

The reliability of the Home Mill.

by the men who stand behind it.

of firm of wholesale grocers and op.
crates several small mills in that
state, together with Messrs Saylor
and Whitehead, state agents in Min

is incorporated with a capital stock
of $3.50, 900 Of which $75, 900 is paid
up preferred and $75, 600 of common
stock. The majority Of this stock
being held by the men whose names
appear above. For the present year
they plan to add unite of five mills
to those now being operated in North
Dakota and here is Langdon's chance
to secure one of the five.
The local committee, composed of
Messrs. Boyd Crockett and Burke,
named by the club to investigate into
the Midget -four mill have gathered
together some valuable information
and received samples of flour from
several mills operating in the state,
also from mills that have been put in
by the same company in Montana,
Minnesota and Saskatchewan. Mid

Langdon has now under consideration,

towns send reports to the effect the
mill is success in every way. Well
patronized by the farmers and able to
make flour that will compete with
the big mills in every respect and
what is best are proving to be paying
financial investment. Tho Home

Mr.. Tilton, the representative Of

Easter Monday advance in an inclosure
for prisoners behind Arras. He said:
"The Boches were being brought
down in big patches and most Of 'em
seemed mighty glad TO be where they
were instead of fighting. l saw one
little batch Of a sergeant and three men
who were looking very sorry for them
selves and trying to keep separate from
the others. Just as they passed into
the cage a Boche officer stepped out
from the half dozen other officers he'd
been standing with and spat right in
the face of the Boche sergeant and
started cursing him very savage and
angry. Taking their cue from the off
Ger, a dozen men started hustling the
sergeant and his three men. They were
kicked and cuffed and spat at as though
they were dogs caught stealing. | had

II wondered what it was all about.
and when l got a chance l had a talk
with a Bavarian corporal who'd once
been hair cutter in Kensington and
spoke English like a book. You'd hard
ly credit what he told me. but I'm sure
it was true, and the hair cutter told it
as though he saw nothing out Of the
way and nothing new in it, either The
Boche sergeant and his men were of a
field gun battery. The officer who
spat at them didn't know where they'd
been, or anything about them. only that
they were gunners; and that was
enough for him and for all the others,
too. They all reckoned their gunners
had done 'em badly and given them no
support against the allies. know it's
a fact they were too late with their
barrage to be much good, and after that
the shooting was very wild; very poor
shooting indeed it was; and all the
Boche infantrymen were mortal mad
about It. Oh, they are a queer lot, the
Huns. Fancy our chaps splitting at their
own gunners."
