In an author’s note Mr. Crawford acknowledges his indebtedness to the North Dakota orical society I, P. B > among oth- preparation of the article and for photographs from which the story is illustrated. In closing the romantic story, Mr. Crawford tells of coming to Bis- marck as follows: Visit to Bismarck “It was just the other day that I came upon the last stand of commer. cis] navigation upon the Missouri! River. The midnight _transconti- nental train had whisked me out of Minneapolis and across the prairies of Minnesota and North Dakota, the very railroad I am told which fifty years ago hesitated to parallel any part of the Missouri river because of the danger of boat competition! On the outside of one of the office buildings in Bismarck one still sees the sign, Benton Packet Company. seed one finds the veteran cap-! tain of steamboat transportation, Capt. I. P.

But perhaps again in the} near future, if the river enthusiasts have their way, we shall see the Missouri an artery of transport be- tween the great Northwest and the Atlantic Ocean.’ ra vf | <Atthe Movies | ha To adh CAPITOL THEATRE Charlie Chaplin’s press agent for “The Circus,” thc new Chaplin com- edy, which is at the Capitol Theatre last time tonight, went to the fam- ous comedian with a problem. “Charlie,” he s: writing too man: my stories on ‘The Cire want to employ old-time circus pub- licity phra: ‘3 Chaplin ked up from a book he was reading.

The particu- lar essay Chaplin was reading was entitled “The Circus.” The publicity man read the words written by the |young American poet who went to | France in 1917 with the famous 69th Regiment of New York,—and who never returned. “Restraint is perhaps the most conspicuous literary virtue of the artists in words who have the pleas- ant task of describing in programs, uperlat \“hard boiled,” menacing and utter! |malevolent as this Lon Chaney — and no one can look so sympathetic who for three-quarters of a century / Capital Chevrolet Company jin the very same role, as this stlf- fe owest Price ‘placed on an automobile with Body by Fisher !
