Johnson of Jamestown, stale manager
for the W0odmen of the World, is in
Bismarck organizing loca. camp. Mr..
Johnson recently returned from the
annual conference of the sovereign
camp at Atlanta, Ca, where 10000
delegates were in attendance. He is
enthused over the growth pf his order,
which has a membership III 100000 in
the United States and 153 camps in
North Dakota. A camp is also to be
organized In Mandan, where 40 men,
hers already have been enlisted.
Hateful Hazel-Hazel Alexander, a
person of much color, isn't to be light
ly treated. When Chief Martineson
and Deputy Sheriff Welch took her up
on the street, where she had been
plying her ancient, trade, she proved
veritable spitfiGe. Then when ar
raigned before Judge Bleckreid she
used such terrible lailguase that the
magistrate was, forced to stuff cotton
in his ears. Hateful Hazel got $25 and
costs for disOrderly conduct, and On
refusal to pay was sentenced to hard
labor in the county Jail. When she
finishes that sentence she must again
appear before Judge Blcckreid for con-
tempt of court. The judge declares
she's the most contemptuous person
he ever did have to deal with.
Dish Towels Needed-Co. / has re-
ceived from the Ladies' Aid society OF
the Presbyterian church a supply of
dish towels, which is very import
ant addition to the company's equip
ment. In the good old days lick and
promise proved sufficient for SOL
dier's eating irons. To-day it is diff
ferent. Modern sanitation demands
that dishes and knives and forks be
thoroughly washed, rinsed and as thor
Oughly dried. Medical science has
demonstrated that much of the dis
EMERY from which troops have suffer
ed in camp has been due to eating
soap from improperly washed and
dried dishes, and not from water, as
previously believed. The good soldier
today is also a good dishwasher.
Excited Over Road e. Luehe,
chartered accountant, is home from
the Observation-Disclosures country
where he has been engaged for some
time, and he reports much excitement
there over the proposed Winnipeg-to-
St. Louis line, regarding which it
seems rather difficult to obtain any
tangible information. Several towns
have been bidding for places on the
right OF way, it is said and there is
considerable rivalry. The road is sup
posed to join the Minneapolis 4 st.
Louis at LeOla, S. d., and the present
survey would cross the Northern Pa
cific at Mckenzie, Steele or some 9th

Grass City's Daddy-"The real faith
er Of Bismarck" announced man
we'll versed in Indian lore, today, lis
John Grass, chief justice Of the Sioux.
Chief Grass told me few days ago |
that following his first visit to Wash
inston, years before Eimarck was
dreamed of, while he and party of
Sioux were hunting elk near the pres
ent site of Fort Lincoln he waved
his hand toward the beautiful sweep
of valley and tableland which Bis
marck now occupies and prophesiel
that some day it would become the
site of a great city. During his visit
east he had observed the location of
the white mems cities, and he foresaw
that the natural advantages of Bis
marck's present location would appeal
to the early pioneers. The bottoms
south of where Bismarck now stands
were favOrite feeding grounds for
