Commercial Club And
A Social Organization


At the Agency Hall Saturday eve
ming was organized the Fort Yates
Social and Commercial Club. This
organization will continue the work
Of the old Commercial Club and in
addition to promoting The material
interests Of the city and commune
ity win also develop the social side
and bring the people closer together
through providing a permanent
meeting place. for parties, dances
and other social activities.
The new Organization starts out
with q membership Of over 35, and
it is hoped to enroll every man and
woman in the city who is interested
in the development and growth Of
the community. Now that women
have the right to vote in North Da-
kota on many public questions, it
is only fitting that the ladies should
be admitted to membership in the
Commercial Club, and the new or
ganization was planned with this
end in view.
Superintendent Kitch has per
mitted the new organization to oc-
cupy the Agency Hall and use il
freely for meetings, parties and
dances. A committee of ladies are
already busy planning furniture
and decorations for the quarters,
and the hall will no doubt present
an inviting appearance on Febru.
ary 18th, when the first masquer.
ade. ball under auspices Of the new
organization win BEL given.

on the part Of numerous farmers
to retain their rather burdensome
supply. The decline in the de.
mand for horses is largely due to
the continuously expanding prac.
tise of using mechanical traction on
the farms and in the cities. All
things considered it is the concen.
sus OF opinion over the state that
stockmen and farmers have main

Indian School Opened
AT Bismarck Jan. LIST
Classes Opened January I, With Many
Pupils From Standing Rock Re.
servation in Attendance

The rejuvenated Bismarck Indi-
an school, which reopened January
1, after two years idleness, under
the management Of Supt. o. Pad
gett, formerly principal of a Chero-
kee school in Oklahoma, how has
an enrolment of 80 young Indians
from Berthold aud Standing Rock
reservations, ard there are rs ap.
.plications for admission from chill
dren who cannot be accommodated
with the present facilities. of the
Institution. :.
The Bismarck school has always
been very popular with the Sioux
of Standing Rock reservation and
the Rees, Gros, Ventres and Man.
dams Of Berthold. There is a kim
ship with home in the fact that the
school is located on the mighty
Missouri, about which the tribal
life of these Indians has centered
for centuries. The school is also
within easy access to all these tribes
who make point of visiting their
children several times each year
and take great pride in their prog
ress.
Commissioner Sells, through Rep
resentative P. D. Norton OF tile
Third district, a member of the
committee on Indian affairs Of the
house, has been interested in the
possibilities offered by the Bismarck
school, and the present year pro-
mises to be one Of unusual develop
ment. There are planned three
new buildings boys dormitory,
a dining room and kitchen and EN-
ployees' quarters, to be constructed
during the coming summer. This
will greatly increase the capacity OF
the school and enable it to accom-.
modate scores of young people who
cannot now be admitted.

a comparatively young man, has
had eleven years. successful educa-
tional experience among the Chero-
KEGS and Chotaws Of Oklahoma and
the Chippewas Of White Earth res
ervation in Minnesota. This is his
first superintendency, and he comes
to Bismarck with an ambition to
make this institution real success.
More than IS, 900 was spent dur
ing the fall in repairing the heat
ing plant damaged by the explos-
ion OF a year ago and in general
rehabilitation. The present build.
ings, as far as they 70, are now in
good condition. Superintendent
Padgett's chief immediate difficulty
is in securing good teachers. There
is All excellent opening at the school
for teachers who are interested in
Indian work.
