l. Skuc 4NxEtCttlGurAl OOlIc&ys
The board of directors of the Agricul.
tural College was in session most of the
day on Thursday, b F. Miller, A. NJ.
Tofthagen, P. McKenna, j. Deschenes,
J. Lowell, j. B. Power, o. W. Francis
and President ,.Stockbridge being
present.
A series Of rules and bylaws as re-
with some slight changes.
There were five bids for erecting the
main college building, the one accepted
being that of Messrs. Bowers & Morris,
for 1926, 155. This is for the erection of
the main building, without heating; the
upper story is not to be finished ut
present. The work is to be completed
by Oct. IA, and the contractors are re-
quired to furnish a bond in the sum of
$40. 600, conditioned upon the faithful
performance of the contract. No action
was taken upon the contracts for the
erection of the laboratory and farm
buildings at this time, but the latter
will probably be put up this season.
A resolution was adopted instructing
the staff of the college and experiment
station to publish at once such informa-
ton as they may deem necessary with
regard to the bestmethods to be adopted
by farmers for the destruction of grass
hoppers, and to give their personal aid
where possible to do all in their power
to help stamp out this pest. A bulletin
has been COMPLIED, and 1000 copies
will be printed at once, and a copy sent
to every farmer Oh the mailing list of
the college, and 1000 copies will be dis.
tributed in the infected district. Those
wishing copies a obtain them free by
writing to President Stockbridge.
1t was decided to create O number of
free scholarships, emitting the holder to
free Dom rent in the college for one
year, the county commissioners in each
county having the right to present one
pupil for this privilege.
There is now about $40, 600 in the
treasurer's hands and $19, 600 more is
now due, since July 1, from the United
States.

GRAND FORKS, July 3.-The ladies'
bicycle race here drew out an immense
Gro Hd last evening. Miss Allen went on
and rode a great race with Miss Bald
win, who waived the number of miles.
She rode on Thursday evening, and
gave her al even start in a four-hour
race. Ashinger, the %forty-eight hour
champion, gave the ladies a ten-mile
start, and such bicycle riding has never
been witnessed in America as was exhib-
tied here last night.
Ashinger rode at a terrific pace. but
was only able to gain four miles and ten
laps on the ladies, who made great time
themselves. The race closes this even

pre.ident HIPS Vows.

New York, July s-Kiernan quotes
President j. ]. Hill of the Great North
ern as follows: Mr.. Hill was asked
what prospect there was of speculative
operations at Chicago checking the out.
ward movement of wheat late in the
year. He replied:
ut would be unfortunate if the ex-
port movement of cereals Europe was
delayed or interfered with, but this is
largely within control of the banks and
financial institutions of the country.
eff these lenders will refuse to fur
nish money to buy grain at a price
above the shipping point, and hold to
that position, there will be little danger
from grain spectators. In following
this policy the banks would lie advanc.
ing the interests of both the farmers
and railroads alike for the reason that if
the amount of our grain required by
Europe is in any way replaced by other
food, owing to speculative prices, the
condition. SO far as the farmers are con-
cerned, would be similar to that which
existed two years ago.
"At that time the action of the Chi
oago spectators in holding prices above
the. shipping point for SO long a time,
resulted in so large an accumulation of
breadstuffs, that when the Chicago mar
ket broke. prices at Interior points and
at the west were but slightly above the
cost of production"
I'm Minnesota and both Dakotas the
outlook for the wheat crop is the best in
many years, and these conditions apply
generally to the sections of the country
where the bulk of the spring wheat is
raised. If rates are faithfully adhered
to until September, there will be more
freight to move in the west than the
roads will have cars to handle"

Colonel Donnn's Eloquence.

At the Grand Army Encampment at
Moorhead Colonel Donan was invited to
speak. He gave the veterans an elo.
qnent address, in the course of which he
said:
But for us-the Confederates-you
and the world would never have known
what heroes you had, and the imperish-
able records Of American patriotism and
courage and devotion would never have
been written in the fire and blood of one
four-years wal. But for us-the Con
federates-Lincoln's emancipation proc
lamation would never have been written,
and all the millions of negroes would

No mere accident of success or failure
can alter the DEGREES of God, or change
the records of eternity. Suppose the
Great Immortal, who lies buried at
Mount Vernon beside the blue Potomac,
but whose mausoleum is in the heart of
every freeman, had failed in his struggle
for the separation of the thirteen col
onies from the mother country. Think
you that one true American would on
that account have relinquished his
share of the deathless heritage of
English heroism and genius and glory

Nay, verify! Nor do we. as Southern

heritage of American valor, American
patriotism, and American glory! Wheth-
er you won, or we, Americans were the
v%ictors; and. in either event, 1 throw up
my hat and hurrah for American Prov
ess. The time has come when every
American, regardless of section or party,
whether he wore the blue or the gray,
should feel his bosom swell with honest,
patriotic pride at the recital of
deeds that lend new lustre to
American fame, no matter where or by
whom wrought. We should glory alike

In the green fields and by the winding

End OF Bicycle Race.

GRAND FORKS, July 5.-The ladies'
bicycle race closed Saturday evening
July 4. Miss Baldwin won the race as
Ashinger failed to cover the ten miles
handicap by nearly a mile. The time
made by Miss Baldwin in the four hours
is the best OF record for a seventeen lap
track. The pedals to Miss Aliens wheel
became loose on the fifty-seventh mile
and she was compelled to retire from
the race in consequence. A large
crowd vas in attendance and
the superb riding of both
Miss Baldwin and Ashinger caused
greatest enthusiasm. Miss Baldwin
says she will beat Nelson's time at Fargo
barring accidents. Miss LaPorte at the
rink tonight desired to ride, but Mana
ger Gooding would not permit her. She
will ride at Fargo, and many think she
will ride great race Ashinger will give
ladies twelve mile handicap there, and
on that track, which Is twelve laps to
the mile, thinks he can beat them. Cole

GRAND Forks, July 3.-There was a
large attendance at tie ball grounds
both morning and afternoon to see
Grand Forks and Fargo play ball. Both
teams started in to put up the best they
knew how, but in the forenoon, Grand
Forks was fortunate enough to get in
five tallies in the first inning, which gave
them a big lead. After that Adams
held them down to two runs. until the
eighth inning, when they got in two
more tallies. Fargo made a gallant eff
fort to Chamber out of the cellar in the
ninth, but only four men crossed the
plate. leaving them behind. The bat

and Cardno. Score by innings:

Keye and Banning were in the points
for Fargo. and Ayers and Rounds for
Grand Forks. The latter team made a
run in the first, and then came a row of
six goose eggs. one after another, dur
ing which time the Fargo team had
piled up eleven scores, nine of them
beng in one inning. In the eighth in
ming the Fargo boys let up a little, and
crossed the plate. Neither

the score by innings as follows:

Each team made six hits, but the
Grand Forks men were charged up with
twice the number of errors of their OPP
ponents, five and ten. There was con
siderable money bet that Fargo would
not get a game. but the boys fooled 'em
in great shape.

of Fargo. Then came Co. b of Fargo,
Go. X of C~asselton. and the Gatling

states of the union in a gorgeous
chariot. Then came the steam fire

trades display, which reflected much
credit on the public spirit of the Cassel-
ton merchants.

There must have been nearly a thou
