The World acknowledges receipt of
a booklet entitled printing Trades
from the State School of Science at
Wahpeton, N. D., the first product of
the printing department. of that school
The printing department has: just
been added to this school by the state,
and although much of the equipment
ordered has not yet arrived, the first
i product gotten out with limited type
and printing machinery shows that
the right system is being used by the
instructors. The makeup all the way
through is splendid, and the presswork
compares very favorably with that
turned out by the best shops in the
state.
R. L. Huestis returned last week
from Fort Totten where he spent
several days in rewriting the entire
electrical plant, including the switch
board, and also wiring the new gym
nasium recently constructed there by
Contractor Erickson of this city. The
new building is 75x95 in size with a
ceiling 18 feet high. It also has a
full basement. Mr.. Heustis told US
that there were now, about 400 Ind
i. ian children attending the school at
the fort, and that some of them were
from as far out as Montana. A reg
ular routine of work is given the
children every day, and things in
the school move like clockwork. Nov
ember 3 was payday for the Indians
at the Fort, and aMr. Heustis saws
that he doubts if there was an Indian
on the reservation that failed being
present to get his allotment. From
early morning until late at night the
grounds were crowded with red men.
and the officials who paid out the
money was kept very busy every min
ute until the last payment was made.
John A. Dahlen of Harding town.
ship, northwest of Webster, was in
the city yesterday for the first time
IN several months. He told US that
his farm work kept him real busy
during the harvesting, threshing and
plowing season, but that we might
expect to see him in Devils Lake Of
ten after this. He was accompanied
i, by his son Arthur, and Pete Boehmer
who came here to act as juror at
the present term of court. In talking
to The World Mr.. Dahlen told us that
ne had four plows going much of the
time since the threshing season end.
ed and that all his fall plowing, con.
sisting of about GAO acres was com:
pleted. In addition to this he said
ne had all his feed in for the winter
and was ready for anything might
come between now and next spring
Mr.. Dahlen has four sons that helm
him with his farm work, and he ns.
ually gets things done just a little
DIT sooner than any of the other fel-
lows who did not look a few years a.
head and make this provision.
| N. N. IWeeten, one of the pionee,
farmers Of near Brocket, was a visito,
IN Devils Lake on Thursday of last
week, and favored The World with
very pleasant call. Mr.. Tweeten has
lived in this great Lake region since
ne was IL years old, coming here
with the earliest settlers, and has beer
engaged in farm work ever since that
time, but says that never during his
stay here was he as hard up in a
financial way as he is this year, all
due to high cost of raising grain crops
and the low price at which he is COM
PEELED to market his product. Mr..
Iweeten works his land the best way
ne knows how. He is not afraid Of
hard work, and his luarge amount of
experience in farm work puts him in a
position to know how land should be
worked here to produce the maximum
results. His crops are always bet
ter than the average, but he says
the cards are laid against the farm
or this year, and experience, good
