ENDORSED ATFA AR
Eastern Papers So constlue Grain
Growers Merger Action.
N. D. PEOPLE DON'T so REGARD 1T
Nevertheless the 'ExpressiOn Of Sem
timent" Is Cited as Argument
Against Van SAINT.

Eastern partizans of the big railway
merger are making use of the resolution
which had such a stormy time in the re-
cent grain growers convention at Fargo.
Several of the eastern papers which have
been conspicuous in defense of the big
combination have recently quoted the sup
posed action Of the grain growers to prove
that public sentiment in the northwest
favors Hills plan of consolidation. Among
these is Guntons Magazine which in an
extensive review of the "Great Northern
DEAF goes in to prove that Governor Van
SAINT is working without the Endorsement
Of the northwestern public. This publi-
cation after noting that the governor OF
Idaho and Governor Cummins OF Iowa are
not against the merger, says:
There are still other indications that
the supposed universal panic in the north
west is at least long way this side of
revolution with blood to the horses
brides; for example the Tri-State Assoc
citation of Grain and Cattle Growers, held
at Fargo, N. D., January 10th, at which
resolutions were adopted, practically
without dissent commencing the work Of
James j. HILL That section of the reso-
lutions favoring the merger is quoted
The status Of the merger resolution sup
posed to have been passed at Fargo is still
discussed by North Dakota visitors to the
twin cities. A number of representative
farmers and business men from points in
the Red River valley who were at Fargo
during the convention were at the Nicol-
let house to-day. The opinion Of the
entire party was that the merger received
no Endorsement at Fargo. The resolu-
lions which were passed in g. careless
manner without reading were recalled and
when the convention adjourned were un-
finished business with the large body OF
| delegates ready to fight their adoption
One of the men, thoroughly representa-
tive North Dakota farmer said:
About the time that we were ready to GU
out that section Of the resolutions favor.
| ing the merger, and we certainly would have
done it, Mr.. Hill showed up on the platform
| The whole business was dropped by tacit con
sent and the promoters of the merger Sec
ton Of the resolutions know that they failed
| to secure the Endorsement which they sought
Now that eastern papers are using the sup
| posed resolution to assist the merger, it il
easy to see why it's friends worked so cum
| ningly to get it through.

The PUSTULE CLUB
Quarantine Hospital Patients Are
Willing the Time Away.
NEWEST DIVERSION A CAKEWALK
Cake-Ping Pong Tournament
Suggested.

Patients at the quarantine hospital are
making the most Of their enforced isola-
ton. Two mock trials and one debate
have already been held this week and last
night the series of social events reached
climax in the shape of a most successful
cakewalk. For several days preparations
for the event had been in progress. A
small assessment was made on each Of
the guests and the proceeds used in the
purchase of an eight-layer cake about the
size OF the Royal Italian bands bass
drum. Appropriate decorations were pro-
y1ded for the assembly room where the
cakewalk took place and early candle
light saw an eagerly eXpectant gathering.
Music was supplied by Charles Tahoma,
mouth organ virtuoso, whose concert tour
was interrupted by the stern demands Of
the quarantine ordinances. There were
five judges, with John A. Burton as their
chairman, and twenty couples, evenly d.
vided as to gentlemen and ladies, walked
for the cake The cake-walking talent
developed on short notice is said o<have
been brilliant to the verge Of the start
ling. All the conventional maneuvers and
some impromptu but none the less grace
full steps were mployed by the various
walkers. In the end the Judges had a
rather stormy debate to pick the winners
but the advantages of heredity finally
gave the decision to Pearl Ball. His
man Burton presented the cake with a
matchless burst of eloquence and any
jealousies engendered by the heat Of the
competition were soon forgotten in the
general consumption Of the prize.
| To-day the cakewalk is the topic of
| general and pleasurable "Reminiscences at
the Hotel de Smallpox, the patients
have named the quarantine hospital. They
have definitely decided that there is
| nothing in it for them to be moping
around and so have joined hands in a
movemnt to pass the time away. It will
! be sad day for the crowd when the
present social leaders are put through
their final corrosive sublimate bath and
| return to the unspotted world, but by
that time it is hoped that the social or
| ganlsm of the colony will be we'll enough
defined to run by its own momentum. 1t
| Isl the understanding among the patients
that ping*pong is the reigning fad among
! London and Gotham society folk and until
| there is ping-pong tournament arranged
! there will be a feeling of unrest at quar-
| anime ..

IDEAS ON AUDITORIUMS

St. Paul JunI<eters Now Know Just
What They Want.
St. Paul business men who went to
Omaha and Kansas City for ideas on an
auditorium returned confident that St.

enough for any gathering which the
city secures. Ways and means of rails
ing money were investigated and the st.
Paul Commercial Club will proceed to
put it's ideas in shape The committee
believes that the Kansas City auditorium
Is too large and costly for st. Paul,

COUNTY BOARD SAYS NO

1t Wants No Auditorium in New
County and City Building. >
The proposition to convert the interior
court Of the new courthouse and city hall
into a big auditorium finds no favor
with the members of the present board of
county commissioners. The plan would
deprive the inner offices on the first and
second floors of the courthouse of all light
and render them useless. There Is of
course plenty of room on the fourth
floor, but it would cost great deal to fit
up new quarters. Even if it were prac-
ticable, the commissioners do not believe
that it is desirable to have a music hall
in the courthouse.

TROUBLE WON'T DOWN
Gjertsen Matter Bobs Up Again in
Trinity Church.

Even now, after Rev. M. Falk Gjertsen
and his friends have left Trinity church
and seem satisfied to leave others alone
and to- be left alone, the Gjertsen mat
ter will not down. When the Gjertsen
faction left the Trinity church it left
sting behind in the form of bitter
censure against the faculty of Augsburg
seminary and an attack on the Augsburg
spirit. A committee to consider the mat
ter was appointed by. the Trinity con-
gregation and last evening it made re-.
port. The Augsburg professors were
wholly exonerated and in order to show
that they were justified in their war
fare against Mr.. Gjertsen, the evidence
in the proceedings against him in Chris
tiania, was produced. The report was
ordered printed in Folkebladet the organ
of the Norwegian Free church. ~.
