BOARD AND LODGING.
Some Excellent Hints for the Worlds
Fair Trip.


A former Dakota lady now living in
Chicago, IN a letter to a relative IN
Fargo, gives some good advice. She
says: "People coming to the fair should,
il they have friends here, request them
to get rooms for them. Rooms secured
through the various agencies cost enor-
nous rental, and generally are not of the
best. took the trouble to look up q
certain Dakota hotel at which large
party OF Dukotans, among them a nun
Der Of friends, had engaged rooms through
an agent. 1t was represented to them
that the hotel was within two blocks OF
the entrance to the fair grounds. That
is true 80 far as it goes, but this particu-
lar entrance is over a mile from the
main buildings, and the hotel, dingy,
uncomfortable place, Is several blocks
from the car lines. My Dakota friends
will be greatly disappointed when they
see their quarters. and would advise all
who have been dealing with these
agencies to learn something of their ac-
commodations and change before it Is to
late. Nice pleasant rooms and board
can be secured in private families at
much cheaper rates and IN localities con-
tiguous to the grounds.
Another mistake many western peo.
pie are making is IN coming here ID May
This is to soon, and they will be dis
appointed. June or October are the
months to come, the officials all say.
May will not see the thing completed by
q good deal.
"The money spirit Is pervading Chi
cago, and it is wonderful what exorbi-
tant prices are readily paid for cottages
and rooms near the grounds. 1 have in
mind one little cottage, scarcely large
enough for family of two, that has been
rented to rich New Yorker for $500 a
month for the next five months. 1
know of houses that are not worth more
than S25 per month that now get $500
per month for six months. It is absurd
how people 90 crazy over this far. Some
people will get nightly left (if may
use the expression) in their money max.
ing, for there are right here in Hyde
Park, let alone all other places, enough
new hotels and lodges erected tempo.
rarlly to accommodate everybody who will
come. The Illinois Central railroad
alone is putting up Under box OF a
hotel with 100 rooms in it. Thousands
of acres are covered with shacks of frame
buildings, with 6xS rooms, and these are
rented out to the unsuspicious, through
agents, at prices per room that in short
time would pay for the erection of the
entire hostelry. Every available spot is
occupied by q new hotel.
whatever YOU do in your arrange
ments to come to Chicago, don't make
the mistake of getting rooms anywhere
but in Hyde Park, as transit will be al.
most impossible. Already the cars are
so crowded it Is impossible to 60 any
where with any comfort. simply on ac-
count of the workmen; one can fancy
what the conveniences will be after
May l."

Auditor Porter's Views.


Grand Forks Herald: As to the mud
die IN the penltentlary board, the ques
tion in controversy seems never to have
been definitely decided, although there
are numerous federal court decisions in
analogous cases, all affirming the right
Of the president to appoint officers to
supply vacancies arising from failure Of
the senate to confirm presidential noml-
nations. An exactly similar case arose
in this state during the administration
of Gov. Miller, whose appointments the
senate refused to act upon. In that case
the governor appointed trustees after
the legislature adjourned, and these
sppointses entered upon the discharge
of their duties without question
from anybody apd served until the
next session Of tho legislature. The state
auditor and treasurer refuse to recognize
the old penitentiary board, and IN fact,
the bills of neither the old or the new
board are likely to be allowed and paid
until the courts determine which is the
legal board. Members Of the old board
have presented bills which have declin-
ed to audit. The matter can be speedily
brought to judicial determination if tho
old board choose to bring mandamus
proceedings to compel me to audit their
bills, procedure which they do not seem
in any hurry to take. The case could be
taken before the supreme court on short
notice and decision speedily reached.
Some such steps must be taken soon for
the penitentlary must be maintained, and
this requires money from the state treas
ufY. ----

The City Election.

Al Inc Guy elocIlOn 10 Do nelu the lSL
of April, an alderman is to be elected IN
each ward, also city treasurer and a
mayor. At the same time voters will
express themselves for or against sewer
age, but the vote does not necessarily
bind the council, There is a strong feel
ing found among business men that
jamestown needs to clean up and brace
up this year. 1t will be year of visitors,
tourists and investors. In many parts of
the city new sidewalks are needed. In
addition q general cleaning of streets
and alleys are necessary for health, as
the poisoning of the drinking water is
showing its effects in increased sickness
and deaths. Men who are interested IN
putting jamestown to the front ought to
wake up and support enterprising repre-
sentative citizens for the council, and
not only urge such to consent to become
candidates, but get the views in advance
of those who are candidates. A general
awakening of the people is badly needed
this spring for jamestown to forge ahead.
A Kick From Splrltwood.
Editor Alert: Will you kindly allow
space in The Alert for the purpose Of
making an appeal which this community
feels justified in making. We ask land
sincerely hope our request will be
granted). the board of health OF this
county to take action against the opera
tion of cheese factory directly in our
midst. In connection with the cheese
factory are to be one or more hog pens,
also corral, just on the outskirts Of the
town. The cheese factory, together with
the proposed hog pens, will be to the
southwest of the school house directly IN
the path OF the prevailing summer winds.
and as school is to be continued during
the entire summer it will make it very
dlsagreeable for the scholars and teacher
We repeat our request to the board of
health and ask them to compel the pro.
prietor, E. F. Whipple, to move the
cheese factory and corral, and forbid
him having the hog pens anywhere in
the vicinity of the town. He Is we'll
aware that in the country he came from
such factories are not allowed in or near
a town and knows that such things are
detrimental to the health of the COM
.munity. We recommend that he be
made to move all to some point not
nearer than one mile to the townsite.

FRY The FAT.

Valley City Times Record: At the last
meeting of the city council q proposition
was made by Alderman Myhre to have the
blind pigs pay fine into the city treas
ury for maintaining nuisance. There
is some very strong objections to this
manner of procedure advanced by friends
of the prohibition law, but with taxes
about 4 per cent Of the valuation, the
average taxpayer looks upon the propo-
sition With feelings not altogether un-
mixed with approval.
There are said to be thirteen places on
Main street, exclusive of drug stores,
where liquor can be obtained, and the
Alliance says it can be had on Fifth
avenue. 1t Is current report that these
places dispense whisky and beer openly
and the number of drunken men seen
upon our streets bears out the authen-
ticlty of the report.
The policy of the present city admins
tration has been to limit the expendl-
lures of the city to the income from taxes
In consequence our streets are in bad
condition, our sidewalks out of repair,
and general air of dilapidation exists in
q city which is abundantly able and
ought to have things in firstclass shape.
We are in no sense condoning the policy
of the city administration in this matter,
for these matters should be attended to,
whatever the cost: but where legitimate
enterprises are already taxed to bur-
densome extent, it seems as though the
blind pigs. ought to pay a pro rata Of the
public expense.
1t ls blood money, but the Times
Record is bleeding to the extent of about
$40 for taxes this year. every taxpayer in
the city is paying the same proportionate
share, and there is more business than
sentiment in the proposition.

DENVER, Nov 16.-Not less than &C, 900
people struggled for an opportunity to
shake the hand Of Senator Teller, one of
sllverss greatest champions, at the recep-

cial session of congress.
The immense corridors and galleries of
the hotel were tastefully decorated with
flowers and flags and the scene presented
was beautiful one. President W. n.
Byers of the chamber of commerce de-
livered speech Of welcome to Senator
Teller. After eulogizing the senator's
faithful work, he said: 1--WE can not
crown him with laurel wreaths of VIC
tory; we can not honor him with grand
triumph, but we can thank him for the
work he has SO ably done and encourage
him for that which is yet for him to do

NEW RAILROAD

The Great Northern Adds Another Line to
the Mesaba Range.
DULUTH, Nov. 16-For a week a rail-
way surveying party has teen at work
getting out from the city and hack in a
nerthwesterly direction into the iron
country. The line as at present sur
veyed parallels the Duluth, Mesaba and
Northern out of the city, and on the top
OF the hill runs as direct as possible to-
ward the Mesaba range. The chief en-
gineer of the party is the same man who
had charge of the work done year ago
for the Great Northern when lines were
run around the head of the lakes to Su-
perior.
Last spring, in a public speech in this
city, President j. J. Hill of the Great
Northern said that as soon as possible
his road ''would build direct line from
the West into Duluth, that being the last
piece of track needed to complete the
roads transcontinental line.' It is be-
Ieved that these surveyors are on this
work. Such a line would run frora
Fosstoa, and would traverse the Mesaba
range for so or 40 miles and wou save
100 miles Of haul on all freight from the
Northwest.
