special dispatch from Arkansas City.
Kan, to the ST. Louis GlobeDemOcrat.
One in particular is that of John Goat,
full blood Creek Indian, who can
speak no English. Goat is progressive
along some lines. and when he saw a
number of his white neighbOrs in the
vicinity of Holuenvi,lc, l. T., having
telephones installed he concluded that
he needed one. He ordered the phone
line built to his place. six miles south
of Holdenville, and it was connected
up with the exchange at that town.
Goat is probably the only full blood
in the Creek Nation who has a tele
phone and is likely the only one who
ever thought of having one. He has
now discovered that the telephone is of
little use to him, for, try as he will, he
cannot make the central operators I'M

capped in this to considerable extent.

The above statement was made to
The Evening Times today by Adjutant
General H. NJ Creel, who stopped off
in Grand Forks enroute home from
Minneapolis and the states within his
district as special agent of the United
States agricultural department.
Relative to the vacancy in the state
militia, he stated that several cities
were applicants for the same and were
ready to organize companies; that
much longer procrastination upon the
part of Grand Forks in the matter
would in all probability be the signal
for the filling of the vacancy by some
other city, and hoped that this city
would organize a company, realizing
that the material for one here is ex-
ceptionally good. He will leave this
evening for Devils Lake.

ion that immigration to this state is a

CUT IS TWENTY-FIVE.
PER Gent SHORT
FOR YEAR
R. II. Mccoy Goes Into the Big
Woods to Hold His Men as
Long as Possible.

This morning Robert H. Mccoy,
president of the Grand Forks Lumber
company and president of big log
ging company besides which operates
in northern Minnesota, was passen-
ger east this morning, accompanied
by his son, Harold. They will visit
points on the M. & 1. railroad north of
Blackjack and logging camps on the
Carmorant and Blackjack rivers.
Mr.. Mccoy and son will spend some
time in the big woods where the Grand
Forks Lumber company. is handling
extensive logging operations. While
1t has been a long winter, logging
operations are far behind and the cut
for northern Minnesota will be Is per
cent short in spite of all that can be
done.
I'VE are doing as we'll as any of
them," said Mr.. Mccoy this morning
to an Evening Times man, but we
will be some Is per cent short of our
regular cut this season. The causes
of this shortage, which, by the way, is
general and not confined to our oper-
atoms, are many. 1t grows harder
each year to get the logs to either, a
stream or railroad, owing to the
scarcity of pine. Then the labor has
been very uncertain owing to easy
times. The weather has been fright
full, showing and thawing, with a deep
fall of snow. Now the prospects of an
early breaking up confirms the judg-
ment that the cut will be 25 per cent
short A thaw or rain like this prac-
tically puts an end to logging The
men grow discontended and even if it
does freeze up again, as it will, it will
be but for a few days and then the
thawing stops work, so that it is hard
ly worth while. I will keep my men
at work as long as possible.
mo, it will probably not effect the
price of lumber. There will be plenty
shipped in if we are short and then in
the case of serious shortage we will
summer log and keep our mill here
going. We will make. the regular cut
of from 100000 to 5O,OOO,OOO feet
this year."

thn at Portland, Oregon.
lie above resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by the. Portland fair
commission at the close Of their meet
ing held at the hotel Dacotah yester-
day, an account of which was publish
ed in The Evening Times.
The final report of the commission
is now prepared and will be submit
ted to the legislature at its next SEES
sion in January.
1t will be of interest to Grand Forks
residents and to the State University
in particular to know that one-half of
the state mineral and pottery exhibit
which was on exhibition at both the
Portland fair and the st. Louis ex-
position is to be presented to the state
university. The other half will be-
come the property of the state his
torical society and be kept at Bis
marck.
This exhibit comprises vases, dishes,
ETC., of every shape imaginable and
made of North Dakota clay taken
from the famous clay banks of Stark
county. The original value of the ex-
hibit, outside of its now historic value
was over $4,000, and the addition to
the state university museum will ut
least calculation be over $1,000.
The report of the commission shows
that there was $500 raised by popu-
lar subscription, contributed by pub
lic-minded residents of the state.
Grand Forks is represented in this
subscription by Hon. VIM. Bulge and
Senator j. D. Bacon who contributed
the sum of 500 each to the fund.
There We're 20 people in the state
who contributed the sum of $500 each,
s who contributed $50, IL, $25; 2, $40,
and SIS.
, There is deficiency of $2.32S37 to
which s169.45 for freight on brick
paid by Profs. Babcock and Brennan,
and souvenir buttons furnished North
Dakota visitors to the exposition is to
be added making total deficiency Of
$2,49S.82, which the legislature will
be asked to make an appropriation for.
When the immense amount of good
advertising the state received by this
exhibit is considered, this small de-
ficiency seems trivial and that the leg
islature will gladly make the neces-
sary appropriation for the same is the
concensus of opinion. The members
of the commission left last evening
for their respective homes after de-
cidedly satisfactory resume of the
work accomplished.

WORK ON NEW
HOTEL
At Maple Lake to Begin Next Week
Company Being Incorporated in
This City With $4,000 Capital to
Put Up Fine Hotel There.

The Lakeside Hotel, Transportation
and Land Co., is to be the name of
corpoation which Reg Smith, the we'll
known Maple Lake enthusiast, is pro-
noting and which will be fathered by
Grand Forks capital. The corpora
ton is to be capitalized at $4,000 and
will have for it's purpose the sale of
Maple, Lake lots and cottages as we'll
as its paramount object which is the
erection of a modern hotel upon the
shores of the pretty sheet OF water
over in Minnesota which is the sum-
mer home of SO many Grand Forks
and Crookston people.
Work on the new hotel will be COM
menced the first OF the week and when
completed it will be a modern and
commodious place for visitors at the
lake. The hotel will have rooming
capacity of at least 80 rooms, is to be
bright and airy and conducted upon
the American plan. A bus line to the
trains at Mentor will be run by the
company in connection with the hotel,
a sail and row boat livery maintained
and strictly up-to-date summer re-
sort hostelry which will be appre-
ciated by many visitors who pay over
Sunday visits to the Lake and who do
not rent cottages or own them there.
The company has now several cot
tages for rent and lots for sale and
it will be its purpose to promote the
interests of the beautiful lake resort
and improve that which nature has al
ready favored with a lavish hand.

and Fargo. The first case to occupy
his attention was that of Harry d.
Ruttell & Co. vs.. the Greenwich and
Commercial Union Insurance COM
,panies Of London. The companies re-
fused to pay losses on policies since
the firm of Harry d. Ruttell & Com
pany Incorporated without notifying
them or having their policies changed.
The insurance companies claim that
the transfer of the business makes the
insurance void. Evidence was taken
in the case in Minneapolis Saturday
and it was tried yesterday in Fargo
before Judge Pollock.
The other case was that of Cass
county VS.. the Westchester Insurance
company. The company refuses to pay
loss resulting from the burning Of
the Cass county courthouse, on the
ground that an extensive addition was
built to the structure without the
company being notified. The taking
of evidence was not completed and the
matter is yet pending. The former
case was taken under adyisement.
Judge Templeton appeared for the
insurance companies in both cases.

INVASION Of NORTH
DAKOTA HAS
BEGUN
Thousands of People Passed
Through the City Last Night
and This Morning.

The invasion of North Dakota has
fairly begun. 1t is not the invasion
of a hostile force but of men, women
and children looking for homes and a
portion Of the prosperity which is
the heritage of every thrifty and provi-
dent citizen of the state. This morn
ing No. 5 on the Great Northern run
In two monstrous sections, each loaded
to the platforms with-not the land
seeker and prospector-but with fami-
lies, going to new homes in the north
ern and western parts of the state.
Last evening train No. pulled extra
coaches, which We're filled to suffoca-
ton. All of the north and west trains
out of here were loaded this morning
and most of them had extra coaches.
The same conditions prevailed on the
Northern Pacific
1t is estimated by railroad officials
that 5000 people passed through the
city since the six dollar rate went
into effect early in the week, as The
Evening Times exclusively announced.
Yesterday and today marks the begin
ming of the greatest rush of settlers
the west has probably ever seen.
Spring is breaking early in the east
and the people are getting to their
new homes for the seasons work. The
large number of women and children
were especially noticeable.
Among the parties which spent the
night in the city were party of %
bound for Canadian points under the
leadership of Isaiah Wheeler of CAIRO
Gordo, Ill. A colony of 25 men, women
and children stayed at the Hotel Da-
cotah last night. They were a pros
porous, fine-looking people. 1t is char
acteristic of the people entering the
state this year that they are of Il prop
porous and substantial class.
