Cobb Plant Makes
Good Impression
on BOwbells Man

L. A. Stefonowicz, managing editor
of the Bowbells Tribune, at Bowbells,
N. D., and family spent last Satur-
day and Sunday in Devils Lake visit
ing at the B. A. Stefonowicz home.
While here Mr.. Stefonowicz looked
over the city and was very favorably
impressed with what we had here.
He was especially impressed with the
magnitude of the new and up-to-date
stocks Of goods at the Mann store,
the ]. C. Penney store and the New
York Store, and the way the goods
were displayed. While here he went
through the plant of the R. E. Cobb
Co., and was surprised to see that we
had factory here that was more
modren and larger than any other
plant like it in the state. He said
that the general impression over the
western portion of the state was that
the Cobb company conducted a buy
ing station here for farm produce
and that everything was .reshipped
to the big st. Paul plant. Farmers
generally in the Bowbells country had
learned that the returns for any pro.
duce shipped here was always some
larger than what was received when
shipments were made to other places
but they had an ida that everything
was reshipped. Mr.. Stefonowicz pro.
missed to get that idea out of thei,
heads as soon as he got back to Bow.

Boys Chorus and
Glee Club Formed

A Boys Chorus and Glee Club is
being organized under the auspices
of the Presbyterian church, with
Avery johnson as leader. The club
will lead the singing at the Presby-
terian church on Sunday evening, as
the adult choir will sing only at the
morning service. AS there has never
been such an organization here before,
it is not expected that there will be
enough boys with experience in sing

to sing are welcome, and Mr.. johnson
will train those who have voices cap

TRAIN KILLS TWO
BISMARCK MEN

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 30.-Blinded
by the dust of other cars, Herbert
Martinson, 26, single barber and
Fred Wilmovsky, "a, single, employed
by the Dunham Lumber company,
both of Bismarck, received fatal in
injuries, both dying within an hour,
when the Ford coupe in which they
were riding was struck by N. P. train
No. on the main line crossing of
the Bismarck-Mandan highway just
west of Mandan Sunday.
Car, Men Thrown so Feet
The car, driven by Martinson, was
thrown SO feet from the crossing
when struck squarely, and was liter
ally torn to pieces, sections being
thrown $50 to 200 feet away. other
autoists who witnessed the accident
picked up the badly mangled men,
rushing Wilmovsky to the Deaconess
hospital in Mandan, and Martinson to
a hospital at Bismarck.
Witnesses of the ac:ident declare a
heavy dust cloud had been caused by
the scores Of cars on the road, and
the men apparently were endeavor-
ing to cross the track but because of
the dust could not accurately guage
the distance of the train. Neither re-
gained consciousness after the acci-
| dent.
The body Of Wilmovsky, prepared
for burial here, will be taken to Ruso
N. D., where his parents reside. Mar.
tinson will be buried at Bismarck.
Crossing Has Been Condemned
The crossing where the car was
struck has been condemned by the
federal government, and will be eli
mainated when the new highway be-
tween Mandan and Bismarck of which
the new $2,000,009 bridge is a part
is completed. Northern Pacific en-
gineers, United States war depart
| ment, bureau Of roads, and the state
ard county officials C, operating
have already prepared plans for a
subway under this and other tracks.

M|LLER'S RADIO
CONNECTS With
MANY STATIONS

Archie Miller's receiving radio at
the Grand Theatre is proving to be
4 bigger attraction right along, is
able to connect up with stations long
distances away, and get the dope
which is being broadcasted in clear
and distinct manner. Last Friday
and Saturday afternoon the loud
sounding horn was placed on the side
walk in front of the theatre and the
concerts, addresses, news dispatches,
ETC., which were picked up out of the
air could be heard for two blocks
away. The sounds coming out Of the
horn apparently from nowhere caus-
ed the people in the nearby business
places no end of inconvenience in tell
ing their customers what the sound
was and where it was coming from.
The clear cold evenings now permit
the receiving Of everything broad
casted with much less difficulty than
was the case few weeks ago.
Among the sending stations which
Miller's radio has been able to con-
meet up with during the past week
are the Winnipeg Tribune and Man
itoba Free Press at Winnipeg, the
Fitzimmons Hospital, the X. V. z.
station, The Colorado National Guard
station, and the Wells Music Store at
Denver, a station at Sheyenne, Wyo.,
Madison, Wis.,, the st. Paul Dispatch,
several stations in Minneapolis, the
Kansas City Star, and the Sweeney
Auto School at Kansas City, The De-
troit Free Press and the Detroit News
at Detroit, Mich, Arlington, w. Va,
Eureka, S. D., Sioux Falls, S. D., the
Stone Piano House and the Agricul-
tural College at Fargo, two stations
ut Wichita, Kan, Regina, Sask., Great
Falls Tribune, Emporia, Kansas, St
Louis Post-Dispatch, indianapolis,
Atlanta, Ca, Journal, Palmer School
of Chiropractic at Davenport, Iowa,
and several others.
The messages sent out by the Man.
1toba Free Press come in more clear
than any of the others on account OF
the broadcaster being very powerful
and the distance to Devils Lake moi
being very great. Mostly every WORD
sent out from this station comes here
clear and distinct. While the Fargo
broadcasting stations may be heard
quite often they are not powerful
enough to make themselves heard dis.
tinctly here. Probably the most pow.
erful sending station in the country
at the present time is that of the At.
1anta Journal. This station is 1906
miles away, but can be heard distinctly
here nearly every evening between
10:45 p. m. and IL p. m. The an
nouncer talks in a Southern brogue
and can be heard very distinctly.

SUNSHINE TRAIL
AND GOOD ROADS
MEETING HELD

The plans for using and improving
the Sunshine Highway and the num-
ber Of tourists now taking advantage
of the trial were discussed Monday
night, when J. R. Dalton, secretary Of
the Sunshine Highway association
and mayor of Woonsocket, s. D.,
spoke at the court house. Only a
small crowd was in attendance.
M. Dalton has completed tour
from Sioux City, Ia, to Brandon,
Manitoba, during which he remarked
the highway between those points.
He found a decided amount of en-
thusian for the road along the entire
distance, and said that towns north
of Devils Lake are making every
effort to improve the section of the
road running thru them, while to the
south and especially in South Dakota
and Iowa, the roads are very fine,
comparing with any that can be found.
Mr.. Dalton urged the business men
and other residents of Devils Lake
to give their full moral support to
the highway, as this support together
with continual boosting is of more
value to the association than financial
aid.
Many tourists have been attracted
to the highway through the indefati-
gable advertising of the association,
according to Mr.. Dalton, and the
highway is popular because it pas
es thru cool country and is ideal for
summer travel, being especially ap-
pealing to southern turists. That in
ten years the tourists business would
increase tenfold is the opinion of
Mr.. Dalton, for as the trail is emprov-
eed will be used for business purposes
as well as pleasure. Because the
Sunshine Highway connects with the
famous Yellowstone trail, the Roose.
welt highway and other transcounti-
mental trail, people on these must 60
some distance on the Sunshine.
Mr.. Dalton advocates signs being
placed to indicate the way to Lake.
wood, and also proposed that the
tourists camping ground be located
in the city instead Of at Lakewood
as tourists do not care to drive siz
miles after arriving in the city.
| c. o. Russell, who presided at the
at the meeting, offered the suggestion
that the land on fourth street, re-
Gently purchased by the School boart
as a high school site, be used as {
tourists camp, as it is not likely {
school will be erected very soon; thi.
was favorably received by several il
the audience and there is possibility
that something will be done about i
next spring.
T. J. Dougherty of Starkweathe
gave resume of what was being
done there to improve the roads, stat
ing that $500 had been contributed
to that work. He criticised the poo
roads leading to Devils Lake.
S. M. Mowry, of Sarles, also spoke
advocating improvement of the trai
as it would be of much benefit to man,
coming from some distance to De
wills Lake. Other speakers include,
DR.. W. E. Hooking, Jos. M. Kelly
, DR.. D. D .McNaughton, Edward F
Flynn, Fred P. Mann, and Torge
