II Numerically, it stands as the cen
[ ter of business and traffic in this
section of the northwest. 1t has ten
miles of paved streets, electric-light

are efficient improvements on all
sides. City warrants are at par.
The active elements IN Grand Forks
are those of the Y. Nj. G. A., library,
church, college and civic federation,
and the dominating thought of its
citizens, "a clearer, bigger, better
city"
A question that has been asked
frequently of late in regard to East
Grand Forks, Mimi, is, SIS the city
bankrupt" Some of the leading
citizens of the city have suggested
remedy, which we quote. eff the
license were raised from $500 to
81 900 it would drive several of the
saloons out of business, the city,
however, would not lose, but would
rather gain, because of the increased
license, to the extent of several
thousand dollars. But if the city
did not make gain in its revenue
it would gain by raising the stand
ard of its saloons and raising the
standard of conducting them.
What of the citizenship, when the
following statement, taken from a
reliable source, is true: ELECTION
day one of the principal saloons of
town ran all day with the front
doors open and its bars filled with
men drinking, gambling, carousing
An extra force of bar-tenders was
engaged for the day." Another side
view is as follows: THE sa-
looms with their private wine
rooms and attachments run night |
and day and Sundays. The gam
bling joints run wide open.
If a stranger comes to town with |
any money he is promptly relieved |
of it with very little consideration |
for the means in which it is done. |
If he squeals be is handed over to
the police, who advise him that the
best thing he can do is TO get over
the river" The above charges have
been made by the valley View" a
paper published in East Grand
Forks.
In the same paper, under date of
Nov. Goth, 1902 the editor again
turns on the searchlight as follows:
1.-The deplorable state into which
the government of this city has fall
en- is made manifest by the utter
disregard with which some saloon
keepers conduct their places of bust
ness. Backed by the executive de-
partment of the city they are not
contented with keeping their places
of business open nights and Sundays,
but must needs create an uproar
and disturbance which is positively
On Sunday, when peo-
pie desire to attend church over the
river, it is necessary for them to
listen to the maudlin talk, and in
cidentally to dodge from one side of
the walk to the other to keep out of

SANG SCOTCH SONGS.
Entertainment for Scottish Society a
Success

Success.
One of the pleasant events of the season
was the entertainment which was given
last night by Calvin Spence and Flora Nc
Donald of Edinburg. Scotland, before a
very appreciative audience of Topeka peo-
pie. The entertainment was held IN the
gymnasium of the Y. NJ. c. A. and was
given under the auspices Of the Topeka
Scottish society.
Nothing too good can be said OF the en-
tcrtainment for it was of the highest class
and was considered by many to be the best
pel-a. One could not judge it by the size
of the audience. for there were only about
2tG people present and most OF them were
members Of the society
The entertainment as given by Mr.,
Spence and Miss Mcdonald consisted OF
Scottish songs. dances and readings. Dur
ing the intermissions Mr.. Spence amused
The audience with funny stories. He is a
l.t..,-i lY-or.oi0ese altist and is a perfect
master of the Scottish dialect. The two en-
tertainerS are not only good dancers ari1
el0cuUonists. but good singers Mr. spence
is a tenor and Miss Mcdonald soprano.
During the evening they wore Scoftish
costumes which gave them an air of real
ism and transports one back to the land OF
Bobby Burns. Every number was en-
cored last night.
ar Spence and his cousin Miss McDon-
aid have been in this country about five
years and during that time they have an
