\ Rare Opportunity.

The city of Grand Junction has
been made a registry point for the
registration of individuals proposing
to secure governemnt land in the
Uintah reservation.
In making this a point of regis
tration the government has recog-
nized the physical location of the
city as the gateway to the Tlintah
reservation"
What does this mean for Grand
Junction?
1t means that not less than rs per
cent of the entire registration for
those lands will be made in this city.
save for those that are made by the
people of Utah in which this reser-
vation is located. 1t means, further.
that at least. Judging from the his
tory of the registry for lands of other
reservations, no less than 10000 will
pass through this city in the next
three or four weeks.
As an official body. the Chamber
of Commerce alone is to be recog-
nized as the organization through
which this was made a registry point
incidentally there have been other
contributing causes, the least of
which has not been The Daily Senti-
mel, which has worked for a period
of at least six months necessarily to-
ward this goal.
The strangers who will come to
this city must be treated in man
ner befitting the high destiny that
this city has placed for itself for its
future. Attempts to hold up the peo-
pie will be frowned upon, and no de
cent citizen will raise his scedule of
prices on commodities simply because
he has the opportunity to do So
The city government has pledged
itself to maintain order, permit no
license whatever. and conduct the af-
fairs of the city in such a manner
that it will be a credit to the people
and the governing body.
1t is an opportunity in the history
of any city which should be carefully
guarded. and the results under con-
ditions of sensible and rational gov

English investment class. The bank
ers here were very willing to give this
syndicate the full amount of their bid,
but did not do so on account OF the gen
eral interest in the loan.
The reason for this general interest in

be the fact that the world is at present

American Railroad Bonds.
The same bankers who underworld
the bonds that built Great Northern,
Northern Pacific General Pacific; South

these bonds eagerly, on the theory that
the old underlying bonds. of all the

1t is figured that within five years these
new bonds will be either retired at los,

There is some basis for the belief in
these bonds. The road appears to be

| STREETS FOR EAST SIDE.

At the next meeting Of the Univer-
sity Business Men 8 association, thorO
canvass will be made to determine what
improvements will prove Of greatest
benefit for the neighborhood Of Univer-
sity and Fourteenth avenue Sc. First
of all it is proposed to take up the mat
ter of paving University avenue. At
teenth avenue Sc. It is deemed Of
great advantage to. have the paving con-
tinued past the campus as far as Twen-
ty-third avenue Sc. For some time
such a movement has been suggested by
residents living out on University ave-
nue., and while there is no intention. Of
pushing the matter this spring plans will
be made to have it put thru the coun-
Gil next season. @
Sc is another problem which this enter
prising association would like to solve.
Arc lights are placed on the avenue at
an interval Of every two blocks, which
is not enough to light the street suffi

promise for new pavement for Central

question Of lighting the downtown bust
ness district Of East Minneapolis in a
manner to keep step with the continual
growth, and the subsequent demand on
municipal improvements. For some
time this question has been discussed
and as far as the plans go it has been
suggested to have three bulb gas lamps
placed in certain blocks, beginning al
the corner Of Nicollet and Washington

going east as far as Fifth street. While

GODFREY HOUSE
DIR. L.sP. FOSTER SAYS THERE'S
NONE OLDER,
The Structure Was Erected in 1849 at
Z About the Same Time that the Rus
sell House Was Built, but It Was the
First Finished and Occupied.

Whatever doubts there may be as to
which was the first house built in Min
neapolis, the Godfrey or the Russell
house, may be settled by the assertion
of DR.. i. P. Foster of Monroe street
NE. DR.. Foster proves by facts that
no other house but the Godfrey struc-
ture has a right to the title of being
the first. He is one Of the pioneer resi-
dents of Minneapolis and knows the
Ethony with wonderful minuteness. DR..
Foster says that the Godfrey house and
the Russell house were built about the
same time, and there was SO little diff
ference in time that IF the Russell
house had not passed out of existence
long before this he might be justified
in calling them twins. But the Godfrey
house vas the first f.! finished and oecu-
September of 1849. The first saw
which ever worked in Minneapolis
commenced to saw lumber in the fall Of
1849 and DR.. Foster saw the first clips
made by the saw at that time. There
were only few families in st. Anthony
when A. D. Foster and his family ar
rived. DR.. Foster was then lad Of
l3. Among the other white settlers
were Rufus Farnham, Caleb Dorr, R.
P. Russell, Edward Pastch and Sher-
burne Hughes.
The Godfrey house was built first,
the Russell house was built the same
month, but finished little later, the
Rufus Farnham house was No. and
the house built by Mr.. Hughes was
No. 4.
Mr.. Hughes was the first of the
settlers to die and his was the first
funeral. Young Foster helped to drive
the body with his fathers team to the
burial place, the corner which is now
Fifth avenue Sc and Eighth street.
!! It was later reburied in one Of the new
cemeteries. Caleb Dorr is the oldest
resident Of Minneapolis and came to
the city about one month previous to
the arrival of A. D. Foster and family
DR.. Foster speaks the Indian language
perfectly and the ways. and habits of
the redskins are familiar to him, as

TEXAS STEER AMUCK
In GOTHAM SHOW CROWD
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York. April 2s.A Texas steer,
running among the spectators at the
horse show in Madison Square garden
yesterday caused great excitement for
five minutes. No one was hurt, due to
the skill Of the cowboys, who roped it
and guided it back to the arena.
The brute, urged to its highest speed
by six shouting cowboys, leaped the
bars protecting the amphitheater steps
and went up the stairs without mis-
step. It went up the second and third
flights into the balcony and disappeared
in the corridor back Of the boxes. Six
cowboys, lariats in hand, were follow
ing. An Indian ran up and headed the
steer off. AS it passed from the CORR
dor again into view Of the spectators,
he roped the steers horns. Alone and
afoot he was no match for the brute s
strength, but he swerved it down the
steps. where it jumped again into the
ring.

Flies Versus Culture,
To the Editor of The Journal,

To the Editor of The Journal. 60. e. T.
AS a resident of East Minneapolis I
feel justified in making a suggestion
which would be of benefit to The gen
eral public. The Pillsbury library is
one of the most popular places for the
public. At the noon hour, East side
business men spend half hour at their
leisure looking over books and maya
zines in the afternoons the children
from the high schools and from the grad
ed schools are visitors in great numbers,
and in the evening the rooms are always
yell filed with readers, young and old.
Summer is coming and it's advance
prompts me to suggest to the library
board that the windows be provided
with screens. The disturbance which
was caused by mosquitoes and flies last
summer was the means of depriving
many an Eastsider Of spending the
hours Of rest at the library. AS far as
l could make out there was only one
half screen. This meant either the
closing Of all other windows and hot
disagreeable atmosphere, or an open
