LONG RUNS BY ELECTRIC
AUTOMOBILES ARE MADE

Electric automobiles are daily growing
in popularity because of their ease of run
ming lack of odor and noise, ind simplic-
ity of operation. Machines of the Pope
Waverly type are being sold in large
numbers, especially in the big cities and
at the watering places.
Excellent proof of an electric carriages
ability to cover long distances was fur
nished by a recent run from Providence
to Boston and return, at an average
speed of twelve miles an hour, and on
one charge Of the storage battery. A At
cell battery was placed in an old vehicle
and the car was run from Providence tc
Boston in three and one half hours. In
Boston the volt meter showed a drop OF
three volts. The car was started on tht
return trip without stopping, and a gooc
rate of speed was maintained to Provi
dencc, except on the long grades.
On hills the motor worked less vigor
ously than on the ~northbound trip, bu'
the car went up every incline and there
was no indication of complete exhaustion
of tho battery so far as speed was con
! cerned. Neither the battery nor any par
of the car was repaired, and for a dis
lance OF 60 miles an average speed OF Il
miles an hour was made. Up0n arriving
in Providence the battery was tested an'
it noted a drop of eight volts between
Boston and Providence. The running
time was three and a half hours. Tb
weight of the 40 cells is 1160 pounds. am
the weight of the battery and a is III
der 1000 pounds. Two passengers wer'
carried.

GRAND COM'DR. PHELPS
TELLS OF CONCLAYE TRIP

Geo. Fl. Phelps, Grand Commander,
K. T., of North Dakota, was found
at his Office this morning by Forum
representative, and said in part:
Mr.. and Mrs Lewis, Mrs. Phelps
and myself reached home Saturday
night Aside from the dry and exccs-
sively hot weather, and the fact that
smoke from forest fires prevented good
views of scenery, we had a very pleas
ant trip. We went via St. Paul and
Omaha to Denver, where the first stop
Of a day was made Among others
whom we met there, were two brothers
of G. H. Knight, who gave us very
pleasant greetings, and showed us many
courtesies.. Nearly two days was spent
at Colorado Springs, where Scott Hall
and Albert Anderson, with party made
up by Secretary Day of the Y. M. &C.
A., made night walk to the summit of
Pixies Peake in order to see the sun
rise, the following morning. VII
AT Glenwood Springs we met Mr..
and Mrs. Leach of Wahpetor, and at
Salt Lake City we were shown every
possible courtesy and attention by
Misses Pollock and Stimmel, and Mas
ter George Stimmel acted as Our guide
to all places of interest We only stop
ped a few hours in Ogden, but sufficient
ly long to verify our impressions OF
the reason why Plumley sprained his
leg there a year ago. . sS
"Of San Francisco and the Grand En-
canpment it is impossible to speak as
fully as ought to be done. The people
of California fully sustained their repu-
tation as entertainers, and everything
that native sons or adopted SONS could
do was done for the comfort and enter
tainfnent of visitors. We, from North
Dakota, were especially fortunate in
having ]. b. Root, who is now in btisi-
ness at San Francisco, to look after otM
needs. He was untiring in his efforts
in our behalf We were under obliga-
tions to Ex-Governor Fancher, who now
lives at Sacramento, for many cotIrte-
sizes.
"The Grand Commandery of North
Dakota is represented near the Grand
Commandery of California by Past
Grand Commander VIM Vandefhurst,
and it Is safe to say that no grand rep
Iresentative discharged the duties of his
office more fully than did Sir Wander
hurst Alex Gamble. who is in San
Francisco on account Of his wife's ILL
ness, was of material service to us in
many ways.
"On our return trip we spent a day
at Portland, where on leaving our hotel
the first morning We were greeted with
a familiar shout Of welcome from E.
Cronan. At Tacoma Mclean and Me-
MILAN sent regards to former ctisto-
mers and friends at Fargo At Seattle
we saw more Fargo people than we
Billy Alien, Tom Kieinogei and AL Clen-
dcnning were especially cordial in their
greetings and kindly in their attention.
We can voice the sentiment of the Earl
of Customs party, who said in q friendly
chat, America is a great country, but
the best thing we have seen is its men.

ASSAULT EXPECTED.

Che Foo, Sept 10 Local students Of
the military situation at Port Arthur,
basing their deduction Upon conditions
there are of the opinion that another
grand assault is either occurring at the
present time or is imminent. This opin-
ion is based on tile heavy bonibardnnent
7of the Russian stronghold that occurred
on Sept. I6 for such bornbardrnent
marks the usual prelude to ail assault i
on the arrival here pf important mes
sengers from Port Arthur at a time
when the running Of the blockade is
extremely perilous; on recent state-
'lnent that the japanese siege works are
completed and on reports from Port
.Dalny that an assault was expected to
take place in d few days. These reports
were received last week
In addition to the foregoing there is
the common knowledge that the Jap
anese realize that their continued mac
Stivity increases the resisting power Of
the Russian garrison and their conse-
quent desire TO make such periods of
inactivity as brief ais possible

KENMARE MAN THINKS .
HE WILL BE BURIED ALIVE

Kenmare, Sept. GA young man by
the name of McDermit, living about
fourteen miles north Of Kennnare, was
found by Chief Smith in a most pitiable
insane condition, says The Journal. He
walked in from Bowbells, presumably
having wandered around for some time.
The unfortunate fellow ir1lagines that
there is someone sendeavoring to take
his life and related that parties had beat
Ell him with Clubs, robbed him of $50
in cash and a bicycle and then took him
TO the hills and tried to bury him alive.
He also said his body was bruised but
nothing of that nature could be found
when he was examined, with the excep-
ton of his feet being blistered from
walking. ..t
Chief Smith notified his parents, who
live in this vicinity, of the young mans
condition, and committed him to Jail
until their coming to take him home.
McDermit has been demented for
nearly year and will undoubtedly be
taken to the hospital at Jamestown. He
is about 28 years of age, unmarried and
has claim. S8 y q
