Farm Amounts, Reasonable C. Carney Co. 4 I DAKOTA COMPANY BUYS LARGE TRACT The following from the Spokane Review will be of interest to people of Williston as it speaks of one of our former citizens: Impressed with the facilities offered by Spokane as a center for dealing in northwestern lands, H. Shepard of Williston, N. has bought 1280 acres of irrigable land in the Big Bend country and has formed a company, capitalized at $100,000, to be composed entirely of traveling men, to take over the land and improve it immediately by irrigation.

Mr. Shepard said yestdrday: "For several months a number of the more enterprising and influential traveling men of Dakota have been considering the formation of a company to buy and develop by irrigation tracts of western land, preferably in Washington and Oregon, and as a result it was determined that I go to' Portlaad as a representative of these people and further investigate land conditions. 1 was empowered to buy land if I found what was in my judgment the right thing, and to form a corporation under the laws of Washington. "Just before leaving home it was suggested that 1 stop in Spokane as' a delegate from our state to the National Apple show. Acting upon this buggestion and with my credentials from the governor I reached Spokane the day before the show opened, and I want to say that I never before saw such a magnificent exhibition, nor did I dream that such an exhibition could be made.

While here I have been looking into land and irrigation matters and I soon became convinced that Spokane was the proper center and operating point for our new company. I made a trip last week to investigate the irrigated lands of the Big Bend country and at that time decided The Christmas Goose When comes the Yuletide season, The Christmas goose we sing! All laden down with juices brown, A toothsome offering. A Christmas Is every trusting child, Who Santa Claus adores because To every charity. A Christmas Is mother, anxiously At work with zest, so fearful lest on the most advantageous point for our first development. "I expect to go back to North Dakota within a few days to report in person to my associates there, but shall shortly return to Spokane, which I shall make my headquarters.

There is much enthusiasm throughout the middle west over the vast possibilities of irrigated land and we expect to do a large volume of business." Mr. Shepard is well known throughout North and South Dakota and Minnesota, having traveled in thosej states for 14 years. Three years ago he entered the land business at Minot and Williston, at which points he has since been operating. His socks with gifts are piled. A Christmas tell Well known to all is he! Poor patient dad, whose purse must add Forgotten some may be.

22 GOVERNMENT IN NEED OF ROCK FARMERS SHOULD SUBMIT BIDS TO GOVERNMENT ENGINEER FOR ROCK-NO BIDS IN YET Up to the present time the Government has not received any bids for the furnishing ot rock to be used in riprapping the river. We understand that the farmers have failed to put in bids thinking that they could hot make a living at it. They should at least submit a bid, and make the price one that would pay. They would at least not be out anything and if the bid was accepted they could then make some money. The government has to have the rock, if they can't get it here they will ship it in from eastern stone quarries.

The money should be kept at home so we would advise the farmers to get bids in at once. Mail them to O. P. Lilly, Williston, N. D.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY A SUCCESS HOME TALENT PLAY BY HIGH SCHOOL WAS GREAT SUCCESS-OPERA HOUSE CROWDED The play, The Elopement of Ellen, given by the school for the benefit of the Williston Athletic association last Thursday evening was a most decided success both artistically and financially.

We can praise no one bright particular star, for each one looked and acted his or her own part with an ease and fa cility very unusual in ameteurs. The result was wholly pleasing and proves Miss Toftley a most efficient dramatic instructor. Miss Ida Fulton was a charming bride and acted the part of the new housekeeper as hostess very prettily. Pobert Mansfield as the devoted young husband, left nothing to be desired. Miss Katie Preble, interested in social economics, and Miss Luella Conley, the engaged grl, did their parts very cleverly.

Ralph Sunderhauf as Max Ten Eych and Beverly Randolph as Robert Shephard or Molly's brother, were exceptionally good. Kenneth Irving, as the curate, was great. His part was sparkling with wit and fun and he was vigorously applauded. Between acts the audience was entertained by selections from the High school orchestra and Glee club, both organizations are doing very good work under the leadership of our music teacher, Miss McGlvneh..
