The monks of the Grand st. Ber-
nard will soon make their debut as
chauffeurs.
After a struggle lasting over a
year they have received the permis-
sion from the valais and italian au-
thorities to run q motor car service
between the hospices OF Grand st.
Bernard and Simplon-their proper
ties-and Domodossola and Aosta.
The chauffeurs will be chosen
from among the monks themselves.
who will wear cowls.
The cars, which are being special
" constructed to CLIMB the steep
gradients, will at the beginning be
employed for the transport of sup
plies only.
Later, however, the monks intend
to start a service for tourists who
wish to visit their hospices In the
season. - Geneva Corresponding

BRING OUTPUT UP TO
FIVE HUNDRED
BARRELS
Capacity of Pembina Portland
Cement Company's Mines
to Be Doubled.

Thos. J. Campbell, superintendent
for the Pembina Portland Cement
company, whose mines are located
near Milton, N. D., and whose princi-
pal place of business and head office
is located in this city, arrived home
last night from an extended trip to the
Pacific coast, where he went for the
purpose of looking up business. Among
the points visited were Tacoma, Seat
tie, Portland, Spokane and Salem. He
received orders for more cement than
will be the entire output of the COM
pany this season.
AT present the company is working
thirty men and the daily output is
$50 barrels but according to Mr.. Camp
BELLS statement to The Evening Times
today he leaves tomorrow for Milton
and will at once double the capacity
and output OF the mines, SO that at
least 500 barrels day can be manu-
featured.
In answer to question as to how
he found business, Mr.. Campbell re-
piled:
Business is simply great and took
orders for more cement than we can
manufacture during the entire balance
of the season. Building operations on
the coast are something fierce, and
that even with building material away
up in price. had delightful trip
but was too busy to do much sight
seeing"

Aftermath of the Circus Finds
City in Very Good Con-
dition.

Not very often in the history of a
city the size of this are conditions to
be found in as good shape following
the presence of large circus, as is
the case today, following the presence
of Ringing Bros big shows here yes
terday. Usually big ciTcuses are fol-
lowed by gangs of sharpers and crooks
who never fail in finding enough VIC
Tins to remunerate them for any trou-
BILE or pains that may have been put
to in the separating" process.
The city yesterday was very orderly
and the police were not called upon to
make any arrests, with the exception
of one lonely victim of debauch, and
he was more than ordinarily sorrowful
today.
The fact that the police drove the
advance guard of sharpers out of the
city several days before the arrival of
the big shows, giving them to under
stand that return would mean sure
arrest. probably did more than any
thing else to prevent robberies and
other crimes.
Where yesterday stood acres upon
mounted by poles and gay streamers,
patches of dirt" spots, made by the
tramp of many feet. The last of the
circus trains was completed loaded
by / o'clock this morning and had
pulled east for Crookston, where today
Is to be given the usual performances.
Ringing Bros. unquestionably have
the best and cleanest shows ever pro-
duced In Grand Forks and probably
ever produced anywhere in the coun-
try.

LEGALITY OF THE.
PROCEDURE IS
QUESTIONED
New Law May Affect Citizen
ship Of Parties Taking Oath
Since July 1.

Judge ]. F. Cowan this morning in
district court issued citizenship papers
to Edward Hoser, former subject of
the sovereign of Norway, he having
made the customary declaration of al
legiance to the republic of the United
States, etc.
In this connection comes the state
ment of we'll known local attorney
today to the effect that Mr.. Hosers
citizenship was not acquired legally,
not because of any omission upon his
part, but for other reasons.
The new federal law which went into
effect July I, provides that the attor-
ney general of the state shall, after
the applicant has given ninety day
notice of intention to become a citi-
zen, be present and investigate in per-
son the qualifications OF the candidate
for citizenship on the date of hearing.
The witnesses shall be present to
testify.
Clerk of Court Spaulding states that
heretofore it has not been customary
to give any notice of intention by pub
LEGATION, the applicant simply comes
into court with his witnesses, and the
qualifications being according to the
specifications of the law, duly takes
the oath and is given his papers.
"If that new law Went into effect
on July 1, as / understand it did," said
Clerk Spaulding today, then Hoser's
citizenship will be open to question.
have sent for copy of the new law
but have not yet received it,
The records show that Mr.. Hoser
was the only applicant for papers since
July /,
