4 VERY PROGRESSIVE FIRM
Dinnie Bros. Doing . Quarter Of Mil.
lion Dollar Business Annually
Some Of Their Contracts.

Among the progressive firms of the
city the Dinnie Bros, general building
contractors, stand among the highest.
The two brothers, James and John,
coming to this city in the early days.
For several years they followed their
trades of laying brick and now they
can don overalls and beat the average
mechanic in the use of the trowel. It
is the proud boast Of John Dinnie that
chimney is yet standing without a
brick misplaced, which be built by the
light of lantern more than quarter
of century ago, CRYING his own
brick and mortar to do so. From
bricklaying the brothers gradually
drifted into contracting in their line,
and last year they did business of
$250,000. The amount OF money Oh.
tributed by the payroll Of this concern
would make a perceptible difference in
the business Of the city If 1t were cut
out. In the city they did an enormous
amount of work including the new
Columbia hotel, the addition to the
Model Steam laundry, the immense
building of the Gas and Electric COM
pany, the Dinnie fats, and the addi-
ton to the Northwestern building now

MAY LAUNCH ROLLER RINK.
Prominent Citizen Thinking Seriously
OF Building a Roller Rink Some.

u
where in the City.
With the advent of the slow months
of the year, talk is again rife for a
roller skating rink for the city of
Grand Forks. This year from the
present Indications, it looks as If the
talk will amount to more than idle
lair" One prominent citizen at least is
considering the subject and consider
ing 1t seriously. On the face of the
figures such an investment looks good,
and indeed with the skating public
living in the city the enterprise should
be financial success from the be-
ginning. Fargo has just completed a
large and expensive roller rink.
Crookston is engaged in the erection IF
a costly building and the results of
the enterprises in those two neigh
boring cities are being watched.
The prominent citizen above men,
toned as favoring rink in this city,
made the statement to the Evening
Times reporter within the past week,
that If he could get partner in the
unu0i IdhAu6 uo WOuIU guarantee TO
erect building and equip it for skat-
ing and dancing purposes and agreed
to put $4,000 in the venture.
During the past two or three months,
several parties have been figuring on
plan for a large rink, but owing to
the high rentals charged for suitable
quarters, the plans fell through. The
top story Of the Corliss block was
talked of for some time. This build
ing is occupied by the Panovitz Fur
niture company and the third floor
Is utilized by that firm for storage
purposes. This would have been an
ideal location for roller rink.
A rink of that character in this city
would be something of novelty for
the first season as many years have
elapsed since the old rink went to
pieces. There has been a public ice
rink every season, so that the need for
an indoor establishment has never
been urgent. However If such an en-
terprise is started, there seems hardly
doubt but that success will follow
the efforts from the first.

NO BASKET OR BALLAST.
DR.. j. P. Thomas Ascends With a
Damaged Balloon.

A dispatch from Augusta, Ga, says: DR..
Julian P. Thomas of New York today made
here most daring ascension in his balloon
Nrvana. Owing to the location of the fair
grounds. some distance from the city, the
bag had to be inflated miles away, and it
was intended to tow it to the gronds up the
canal. The stream proved too narrow and
the bag frequently caught in trees and was
more or less damaged.
When about mile from the allotted place
of ascent DR.. Thomas decided to try no
longer. and. mounting into the network, he
seated himself on the concentrated ring and
cut away the entangled basket The balloon
rose like a shot. and Travelled in a south
westerly direction to an estimated height of
5000 feet.
When about seven miles from Augusta
the valve which had been damaged Mon
day and had been patched with surgeons
adhesive plaster began to leak badly. and
the aeronaut shot downward too rapidly for
comfort. Not having any ballast. he en-
deavored to Tighten ship by pulling off his
shoes and heavy leather leggings, and also
threw away his coat and the contents of his
pockets.
The descent was but little checked, and
he pumped down in the middle of cotton
field. Owing to his position in the rigging
DR.. Thomas was unable to get from under
the airship and was caught in the folds of
the balloon when 1t struck. 1t then started
across the field dragging DR.. Thomas nearly
quarter of mile before he could extricate
himself. He was badly scratched and lac
Grated, but not seriously injured.
DR.. Thomas described 1t the most try
ing ascent he has yet made. He said the
local difficulties were insurmountable for
making regular ascension, and in order
not to miss the opportunity he decided to
go up without any car, not even having
ballast.
He presented a sorry appearance after the
rough experience but says he will be all
right in day or two.

years of his life in bringing about an
eight-hour WORK day in many trades
William e. Ward is the secretary and
Leon G. Sutton the treasurer The trus-
tees are Alexander Law, president Of

of all citizens Of the Nation, State and
Municipalities. It will be the aim of the
League to hae the .'natudaln workday in
trodueed on all the great railroad sys-
TENS of the country, as, when successful
all other business would soon work to
the same level.

cure The Eight-Hour workday and make

labor organizations, and with the assis-
tance OF the many influential men in
public life and others enga ged ir CONNER

Trade Hindanad by Difficulty Met In

New York, Dec. 22.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Weather conditions accelerated dis
tribution Of sessonable merchandise at
retail, but increased traffic difficulties.
Freight blockades and the shortage Of
motive power not only retard business,
but threaten serious results at some
western points. Holiday trade has
equaled sanguine expectations, yet this
large volume has not interfered with
the brisk demand for staple articles,
which depleted stocks to such an ex-
tent that wholesale trade experiences
unusual activity for the season. Nu-
merous advances in wages are report
ed, as a rule, becoming effective Jan.
l, and the only noteworthy decrease
in comparison with activities "a year
ago appears in building permits More
conservatism in this respect is not sur
prising in view Of the high cost of
materials, the scarcity of labor and
abnormal rates FOR money.
Most industrial work is maintained
at the maximum, rails and factories
having so many contracts for next
years delivery that inventories receive
little attention.
Commercial failures for the week
were 254 against 261 last week, 233 the
preceding week and 226 the CORE
spending week last year.
