new OP|E BUILDING TO HAVE
QUARTERS FOR GILMORE

Tie Opie property at the south
end of Third street, the scene of
Langdon's latest fire of about month
ago, is having the debris cleared
away with a view to making an early
start in rebuilding. The ground
floor plans will have an arrangement
that will provide accommodation for
the tables, show cases and other fix
lures Of the "Dad'' Gilmore billiard
and pool parlors, which is seeking a
new location with the expiration of
the lease on the Chisholm bnilding
this spring. AS heretofore the entire
second floor will be occupied by the
Opie studio. The plans call for a
building of larger dimensions than
the one DESTROYED by fire and will
be modern in its cons truction in every
way. 1t may be counted on as one OF
the first building improvements of
the season to get under way.

Hannah Wants New Ventures

Up at Hannah the commercial
club stand back of any first class
proposition to to put in drug stole
and a general store, there is also a
generally expressed demand on the
part Of the townspe ople that some
thing definite be done at once to give
Hannah adequate fire protection.
Confronted with the heavy losses
sustained by business sections of the
end town by three bad fires in less
than a year, it is relaized that there
must be a general move all along
the line of building improv ements,
if Hannah is to hold its place on the
map as one of the real live towns
of the northern part Of the state.

succumbed to the injuries received in

sion. Hoping to save the leg amputa-
tion was deferred as long as possible,
and when the operation at last was
performed it was found that blood
poison had set in, and as soon as his
strength had sufficiently rallied from
the shock other operations made
in the fight which followed of linger-
ing months, now struggle Of life or
death with the patient gradually get
ting weaker, until the end came
shortly before noon on yesterday.
In the telegram Mr., McPhail states
that the body was being shipped out

LANGDON HAS A SOLDIERS
CRAVE In NATIONAL PARK

When the exercises of Memorial
Day are observed on Monday, May
30th of this year there will be the
grave of Langdon boy decorated
with flag and wreath of flowers
in the military cemetery at Arling-
ton Heights, at Washington, D. c..
1t is that of John Robertson. who
died fighting with the flag overseas.
The family made application for the
body to be brought home, but shortly
afterward countermanded the order,
asking that it be allowed to remain
in one of the burial grounds of
American soldiers in France. This
order must have failed to reach the
proper quarters in time to stop the
disinterment and transportation of
the body, for the family were noti-
fed lately of its arrival in New York.
1t was at this time decided to give
the remains final resting place ir
the cemetery of this nations soldie,
dead at Arlington Heighths.

Editor St. Paul Dispatch:


The editorial, Undesirable in
vestments, in Mondays Dispatch
is rather misleading to your read
ers and unfair to North Dakota.
You state that the Bank of North
Dakota borrowed $1,000,
from Chicago financial house,
promising to repay March 18th last
and loaned the money to par ties
who cannot repay" thereby con.
veying the idea that the money
was not paid March 18th, when
due, while this Bank of North Da-
kota, much to the chagrin of ce1-
tain interests who were hoping to
see the bank default in the pay
ment and to use this as a club in
their fight against the farmers
movement. ANY movement made
by farmers to get out from under
the domination of these certain
interests is always bitterly oppos-
ed by this element. They are the
same coward who, when Lotus
was at the head of the Equity lea
que, denounced him as a CRATER
and an all around rascal, and actu-
ally bounded the man to his grave.
When Lotus died it was found
that he had mortgage on his
home, and some of his friends
Clipped in and paid it off in order
to leave a home to his family.
That would indicate that he didn'
graft very strongly. \
Now these same interests are
after Townley's scalp. and tell US
that compared to Townley;, Lotus
was a gentleman. 1t appears that
no matter who leads movement
that threatens the parasites feed
ing and fattening on the farmer,
that leader is to them dangerous
character. The writer is no admir-
er of the leaders of the Nonpar-
tisan league, but must admit that
the league has proven blessing
in disguise, because it kept specu-
lators out of the state and the re
was no broom there.

Some Tasty Eastertide Displays

oSAAAS NoSy ZS&oSSA SAAO y
To the mind of some people we
know that the Easter display in the
show window of the Ray D. Kelly
meat market, was more appreciated
than the attractive spring millinery
showing of the large department stores
Both were out for the business but
the appeal to the inner man won
out hands down this year over the
artistic display of spring headgear.
Easter millinery was badly handi-
capped this year by weather condi-
tions which only tended to make the
going all the easier for an appetizing
and toothsome Easter Sunday dinner
with the fixings all furnished by the
Kelly Meat Market.
