BAND BOYS
To DECIDE
Can Go to Portland if
They Are All
Willing.

The band will sail for Portland on
the Mongolia on the sth of this month,
if the band boys are willing to 60
said Kapellmeister Berger last night.
1T rests with them. They were will
ing to make the trip little time ago,
when the negotiations We're pending,
but that all fell through. I shall not
coerce them now. The proposition will
be submitted to them this morning, and
"A cablegram came from Joe Cohen
yesterday to the Secretary of the Pro-
motion Committee, EN-. Boyd, stating
that the contract with the Portland
Exposition people had been consum-
mated, and transportation arranged
for. But 1 am not going upon that
alone. Some time ago, after the plan
to send the band up on a transport,
as first proached, fell through, the
Portland Exposition people cabled that
they would be willing to pay the en-
tire cost of transportation rather than
not have the band. That is what I am
going on, the wcrd of the Portland
people.
1.-THE whole trouble has arisen be-
cause Of the action of the Promotion
Committee. The committee agreed, in
the first place, to arrange for trans
portation to San Francisco and return,
and the Exposition people We're to take
us from there. The Promotion Com
mittee wanted to do their part as
cheaply as possible, and so asked for
transportation on a transport. That
was granted, too, but there was no
transport in August. The Portland
people, being told of this, said they
did not want us in September. They
wanted us in August.
Then the Promotion Committee threw
up the whole thing. But the Portland
people still wanted us, and so they
made the new offer. And, if the boys
are willing, we will go. We may come
back on a transport, and anyway we
will be back by the first of October.
And 1 want a band stand in Aala Park
when get back"

A new METHOD Oh
HEARING final PROOFS

Fargo Forum: Special Agent NC
Bniry of this city and Cockrum Of Bis
marck were at Jamestown yesterday
hearing homestead final proof testi-
mony. They will go to Bismarck next
Saturday for the same purpose. The
plan Of setting dates for both the Far
go and Bismarck districts near the
same time so that agents from both
districts can be present at both hear
ings is new one and the department
at Washington is watching the expert
ment.
The plan of setting certain days for
hearing the final proofs in certain
localities has been in operation only
about a year and half. It gives
special agents of the department an
opportunity to be present at the hear
ings of testimony on every homestead
and 1t has been found that homestead
ers who have their final proofs made
on the day set by the department and
who are honest applicants, and have
lived up to the requirements Of the
law have little difficulty in getting
prompt action by the department
Agent McEniry states that the de-
partment estimates that in every
county where the government land has
been taken in this state, that had the
plan of setting dates and inquiring in
to the intentions of claimants been en-
forced for the last fifteen years, there
would have been on an average of
half a million dollars more valuation
for taxation and spectators barred out.
Actual settlers would have been en-
couraged by neighbors being on the
same footing as themselves and the
settlement of the country would have
been much Increased.
Practically all the government home
steads subject to entrance in the Far
go district have been taken. There
are a large number of claims in the
western part of the district on which
small buildings have been erected and
1t is stated that many of these claims
are contestible on account of the
claimants failing to fully comply with
the homestead law.
