CORD WOOD PLENTY.
Erskine Dealers Asking Low Price TO
1t Because Of Supply.

There has neer been such a great
amount of wood hauled into Erskine
as there has this year. Every day i'm
mense loads are brought in and there
are thousands of cords piled on the
vacant lots of the village.
During the past year or two the
roads have been SO poor that it was
impossible to do much winter hauling
but the roads are in excellent shape
now and as a result Erskine has at
present more wood for sale than it
has ever had at one time before.
Because of the great supply the
prices have been lowered and while
local residents are paying five and a
half dollars for their hard wood and
three and a half dollars for soft a
few miles east of here they are load
ing it onto cars for two and four dol
lars accord.

MOsHER DIVORCE CASE.
Motion for Extension Of time ito be
Argued Today

Fargo, Feb. ia motion for ex-
tension, of time within; which to serve
notice OF appeal in the Mosher divorce
case will be argued before Judge Pol
lock at Fargo today. The time for the
serving of the notice has expired but
it is claimed that Mrs. Mosher has
been i'll and was not able to give the
matter her attention.
The Mosher case was tried here
some time ago and attracted consid-
erabh attention on account of the
prominence Of the parties to the suit.
Mr.. Mosher is a farmer residing near
Erie. He is about twenty years older
than. his wife from whom he was d.
vorced.
In his complaint Mr.. Mosher charg-
< ed cruel and inhuman treatment. He
alleged that Mrs. Mosher used i'm
proper language in addressing him
and that he was often shocked by the
questionable stories which Mrs. Mosh-
er persisted in telling.
During the trial it was intimated
that Mrs. Mosher. had been too friend
ly with young physician but this
phase Of the case was not followed
out to any extent. NJ
Another divorce case which will be
taken up by Judge Pollock soon is en-
titled Lucy A.. Holcomb VS.. "a. L. Hol-
comb. The action was commenced
several weeks ago. The plaintiff
charges cruelty. and wants the court
to enforce her claim for alimony
Mr.. Holcomb is q farmer residing
at Ashtabula. He Is in the city today
and announces that he will contest
the case. He claims that his wife de-
serted him nearly a year ago after one
of his feet had been frozen and ampu-
tation had become necessary. III

OF Interest to East SiderS

turned out, there were enough to make
very enthusiastic meeting.
j. w. Wheeler was appointed chair
man of the meeting and Mr.. C. M. An
derson was appointed secretary.
The meeting was for the purpose of
seeing what could be done about hold
Ing an agricultural fair here this fall
ana the evening was spend in discuss
ing ways and means for securing a
fair that would be substantial and
would be for the benefit of the farmer.
Every person present was in favor
OF holding fair, but the general opin-
ion was that If there was one, it should
be for the sole purpose of encourage
Ing agriculture and not to develop
horse races.
1t was thought best by most of those
present to have no fair this wear. but
to have competitive grain raising
contest and perhaps to have field
day this fall when the prizes could be
awarded. The suggestion was made to
have this field day in connection with
the opening of the agricultural college,
which will probably be done.
The fact was brought up that the
state law provides that the county
may own its fair grounds and that al
most all the southern counties of the
state were taking advantage of this
law and now owned ground which
could not be lost through debts incur
red by those giving the fair. A COM
mittee was appointed by Chairman ].
w. Wheeler consisting of Messrs.
Archie McKinnon, s. w. Wheeler and
A. o. Busterud to confer with the
county commissioners and urge upon
them the necessity of the county own
ing its fair grounds
The meeting was adjourned to meet
on March 18th at which time a large
gathering is hoped for.

CHARGES ARE
DENIED
A. G. Barnard, President Of the Mime.
sofa Drainage League, Denies the
Charges Of the Crookston Times
Says Funds Are Not Misappropriatcd

Washington, Feb. 19-"Attacks on
myself and MIR. Hays for maintaining u
so-called lobby at Washington are all
due to hard feeling entertained by Mr..
Hitchcock, former editor of the Be-
midi Pioneer, and now in temporary
charge of the Crookston Times in the
absence of it's editor" said A. G..
Bernard, president of the state drain
age league today Hitchcock is try
ing to hit Hays over my shoulders,
because of an investigation of county
printing for which he had the con-
tract, which investigation was made
by direction of Governor johnson.
The charge is made that a fund If
$4,000 has been raised to pay the ex-
penses of myself and Mr.. Hays here.
In the first place Hays isn't here and
hasn't been here this winter. In the
second place the total of the cash con-
tributions to the league is $500 given
by the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce. Help has been promised from
other sources. but has not yet been re-
ceived. The league has not had any
individual contributions from business
men of the Twin Cities. One Duluth
commercial organization voted to sub
scribe $1,000 but afterwards reconsid-
cred the vote and the money was never
contributed.
The money which has been contrib
uted has been expended in the
preparation of maps, in soil analysis,
IN travelling expenses around the state,
ana partly for my trip to Washington,
which was made at the suggestion
of members of the Minnesota deleea-
itno who wanted information on the
subject, and did not have time to go in
to 1T thoroughly themselves.
"Out cry is made because we didn't
go into the southern part of the state
and begin campaign for drainage
there, instead of taking up the sub
Ject in Washington. The time has not
come for that. We will open that
campaign in the fall. during the poli-
tical campaign, when people are talk
ing OIL electing members of the legis-
lature. That body doesn't meet until
next, year, and anything done now,
would be fruitless, because the sub
Ject would be forgotten during the
summer. We want our matters to be
fresh, in the public mind when the
legislature meets.
II shall give full account of all
contributions at the next meeting of
the league at Wadena next summer"

of the local hospitals. The doctors
believe that the trouble arises from the
too prevalent use of river water for
drinking purposes. They say that
something ought to be done to educate
the people to boil the water, and that
the city authorities should do some
thing in that line. Boil the river
water. 1t is declared, should be the
practice of everybody using it, and
then 1t is believed that much of the
trouble would be eliminated.

EVENING OF SONG
Large Audience Greets Singers at
Mrs. cherrington's Recital.

One of the most successful events of
the year in the local musical world
was the song recital given at Wood
man Hall by Mrs. G. N. Cherrington
last Thursday evening. Mrs. Cher
rington was assisted by her teacher,
Mrs. E. E. Coovert, and Mr. Arthur
Alexander, both OF Portland. The
largest audience ever assembled at a
musical entertainment in Dallas was
present to greet the singers.
program of exceptional merit was
presented, and the audience showed
its appreciation by bestowing liberal
applause and a wealth of beautiful
flowers upon each singer taking part
in the recital.
The chief interest of the recital was
centered in the singing of Mrs. Cher
rington, who has been pupil Of Mrs.
Coovert since early last Fall The
many friends who were expecting a
rare treat were in no way disappointed,
as her voice showed a great improve
ment in every desirable quality.
Although suffering from a severe
cold, Mrs. Cherrington bravely sang
all her numbers and scored veritable
triumph. At the close Of the recital,
she was warmly congratulated, all
speaking of her singing in terms of
the highest praise and predicting for
her brilliant future.
Mrs. Coovert has clear, rich mezzo-
soprano voice which is at all times
under perfect control. Her numbers
had been carefully selected, and gave
evidence Of excellent taste and great
versatility.
Of the singing OF Mr.. Alexander,
the tenor, too much cannot be said in
praise. He is the fortunate possessor
of a voice that is nothing short of
marvellous. The good words that
have been said for him by critics
throughout the Northwest are fully
justified. and it is doubtful il his equal
as lyric tenor is to be found on the
coast. His ''Songs OF Araby' and
''Tristam and Yseult," once heard,
will never be forgotten.
