the sum of $4,000 would be raised. 1t
Is thought some of the lodges will
decline to invest, but that at least 10
per cent will take stock. That would

The National Union.

Nearly all of the councils of the Ma

wilson Hall, in compliment to General
Deputy Joseph A. Wilson, who recently
worked with SO much energy to aid the
members of the order who were <af-
fected by the fire.
At meeting of the relief committee
held last week progress report was
presented which proved most satisfac-
tory. The committee was highly COM
mended for the manner in which 1t had
extended relief to every one of the To-
cal members who needed such. Henry
w. Mas was elected vice-president of
the committee, vice Senator Cuthberth,
who left for the East last week in or
der to attend the session of the Senate
OF the order, which will be held in
Atlantic City next month.
Money to be used in assisting mem
bers is still coming in from various
parts of the Union, and the general
deputy says that no one who is in need
and has not yet been assisted should
have any hesitancy to make known his
wants.
A report from Special Organizer
Brodrick, who has been working in
sacramento, is to the effect that during
the month of May he secured twenty
applications for membership in the
council there and that there are more
in sight.
San Jose reports good prospects for
work in the Garden City in the next

The general deputy Is preparing a
letter, to be sent TO all the councils in
the State, to the effect that as normal
conditions have been established in
the order that he wants the members

New City Road.

City Engineer Conn has made a
preliminary survey for the proposed
new city road leading out of town
across the river at Fourth street
north. The road can be graded along
the side Of the hill west Of the city
at a comparatively small expense 1t Is
said. and would make a shorter and
somewhat better road entrance to the
city for farmers than that now used
along Capital Hill, and will connect
with the old county road leading
across the Pipestem bridge. The pro-
posed new road runs through an un-
plated parcel of land owned patty
by the N. P. company and partly by
private parties, and it is stated that
the company will probably be willing
to give the right Of way and the bal
ance required 1t is believed can be
purchased at a reasonable price. The
extension of the road from the un-
plated part Of ground which includes
a portion of the hill, runs through
what is known as Mansfield & Foley's
and Russels first and second additions
to the city.

Attracts Attention In Wisconsin.

North Dakota exhibits are attract
ing attention in Wisconsin, wher5
large array of specimens of the pres
! ent crop is being shown at county
fairs by Commissioner Gilbreath.
The following is from the Elkhorn,
Walworth County Independent.
Great Is North Dakota If never
before the thousands who have seen
that states exhibit on the fair
grounds this week, take hats of to
ner mighty resources. The exhibit.
located on the north front Of the
floral hall, has the nost extensive
display Of cereals, fruits and other
products of the soil that Walworth
county fair patrons have seen. IL is
in charge of W. G. Gilbreath, COM
missioner, and wheat, oats. rye, corn
and speltz, a comparatively new
grain to Wisconsin farmers, and al
falfa, all gathered from within the
borders of North Dakota, speak for
themselves as to what the farmer can
do there. The exhibit, which is
1anked by fine array of Indian and
buckskin work and taxidermy,is is neat
]y displayed and is one of the attrac-
tions Of :'fair week" J"
--..Crops are good and have been good
in North Dakota. Macaroni wheat,
so extensively grown in some portions
of that state is yielding from 1e to 30
bushels per acre. The blue stem and
red fife are averaging Is and 16 BUSH
es while barley and speltz are excel
lent. North Dakota farmers are
claiming great things for speltz. 1t is
great horse feed, hardy, sure crop
and frequently yields from 40 to go
bushels an acre. 1t is also being used
extensively by confecJloners, the
speltz -four being particularly adapted
to this line of business. In looks it
resembles barley and fair visitors
should make point to look over the
speltz exhibit. "North Dakota is
flourishing.' remarked Mr.Gllbreath
to the Independents representative
yesterday. "The wheat yield in 1906
will be, according to the most con-
servative estimates, 100, 100000 BUSH
els. Minnesota follows with 80, ,OOo, 900
and South Dakota will have so, $780,
OOO." But wheat is not all the story
told by this exhibit. Coal and won
derfully fine potter's clay, together
with luscious apples and that in
which North Dakota leads the world
-hax-are a part Of the story hardly
told In ordinary newspaper space.
The exhibit is attracting hundreds
of visitors and is worth all the time
one can spare.

in the construction Of large reser-

Work on the telephone line between

city, bids for which have been adver-
tised in the official paper. There
was but one bid for the work, that
Of H. P. Taylor & Co. Of Jamestown.
No other bidders, either at home or
abroad, presented offers to do the
work which amounts to large sum
in expenditure. The city auditor
stated that. he had mailed copies Of
the proposals for bids to Kennedy &
Porret, at Fargo, known to be con-
tractors for that kind of work, but
no bids had been received from them.
The bid of Taylor & Co. was:
Will lay 2676 feet of ten-inch main
on 5th avenue; $50 feet Of 6-inch
main, furnish I hydrants, S gates and
boxes and fittings. Also will lay
400 feet of 4-inch water main, furn-
ish one hydrant, l gate: also lay 1140
feet of 8-inch sewer, furnish l6 ~"
branches, man holes for $7865.90
The bid was discussed by the alder
men at some length and was referred
to the sewer and water committee to
report at the special meeting called
for Monday, Oct. S. On inquiry by
Alderman Grant it was learned from
Mr.. Taylor that the bidder for the
above work did not contemplate put
ting in the house connections as pro-
vided by the specifications of the city
engineer. A check for $500 accompan-
iedthe bid. The bid was not accom-
panied by a bond as required, and
the matter was referred to the above
committee for further consideration.
The bidder also stated that work
would be completed in time required
by the specifications provided he
could secure the necessary labor and
there was no delay 10 receipt OF ma
terial.
The city auditor reported S33 COL

Last Christmas enc of these poorly addressed
boxes came into the New York Custom House
and was put down cellar to await developments.
Nothing happened until March, when an innocent

given up the box lost he receives his notice,

home his Christmas present All this because of
insufficient address.
One case of this sort might be iunny, but when
several hundred require attention, and when
threefourths of these are foreigners who feel
sure Uncle Sam is trying to cheat them, and who
protest and swear in half dozen different Ian
guages, the joke loses its point and becomes nerve
racking, hair whitening business.
Now when one of these vague addresses is af-
fixed purposely by some one knowing that cellar
