They Celebrated.

Yesterday was the anniversary of
the arrival in this world of one of the
genial business of the city and as he
has always been noted for his liber-
atty with his help, they we're told yes
terday that the bestin the city was
theirs. They proceeded to enjoy the
occasion to its full capacity, and in
sisted on the proprietor joining. He
could not do so without some of his
friends and in short time the crowd
had swelled to q score or more. and
the evening was spent In royal style.
In the merriment. Pete" the delivery

toned feed and wandered to the stable,
and went in wagon and all. A neigh
Dor saw the barn door open and think
ing it had been forgotten. closed the
same with horse and wagon inside.
In the early morning hours the crowd
dispersed and then the horse was re-
membered. He stood first in the hearts
of the men. and diligent search was
made to locate the animal. Nobody
thought to look in the barn as the
door was closed and fastened on the
outside. The entire crowd spent the
rest Of the night in hunting for the
horse. walking not less than ten miles
each. The animal was discovered this
morning about 8 o'clock none the
worse for his experience.

VANDALISM BY
GANG
Office Of Sun Newspaper at Manitou
Demolished by a Gang of Ruffians
Because Of Something Derogatory
That Had Been Published.

Word has reached this city of an act
OF vandalism perpetrated at Manitau,
Manitoba on Saturday, the 18th a gang
OF ruffians who broke into the Office
OF the Sun newspaper and demolished
the fixtures, upset and pied forms and
committed other destructive deeds. be-
cause OF a fancied grievance against
the editor of the paper, C. Vermilya, a
former North Dakota newspaper man.
A dispatch from Manitou says: Last
week the Sun published an article re-
garding certain classes of new arrivals
who come to this country, and it is
supposed that few of these undesir-
abDes took this means of getting even"
with the publishers. 1t is understood
that several arrests will be made and
c. Vermilya, the publisher of the Sun.
declares that he will leave no stone
unturned until he has succeeded in
prosecuting the guilty parties to the
full extent of the law
The editor was warned of troubleI
Saturday evening and remained att
the Office until ~ o'clock, but Think
ing that the threats made were mere-|
ly drunken bafflings of the gang, he|
returned to his residence and went tOI
bed. Although things are in a bad
shape the Sun will not be obliged toI
miss an issue and will be published as|
usual on Thursday.

Special to The Evening Times.

Winnipeg, Man., May 16.-President
j. j. Hill OF the Great Northern rail-
way, together with other officials of
the same road, was the guest today of
the citizens of Winnipeg and of sur
rounding towns and cities. At l o'clock
luncheon was served by the Cana
dian club, at which were present all
the prominent public men of the city.
There were addresses, toasts, etc. Mr.
Hill himself being one of the speak,
ers. The occasion of the great railway
magnate's visit, was altogether one Of
great Importance and pleasure 1t
will conclude with tonight. Before
next week Mr.. Hill expects to start
on his western trip. On the first of
the month he will probably go to
Labrador, where he spends every June
on fishing expedition. Mr.. Hill has
not been in Winnipeg for about ten
years. During the early days, he used
to travel with dog sled to Fort Garry.
Old settlers in St. Paul say that he
used to walk SO fast that he tired out
the dogs.
On the "Ruby Red"
This visit of the Great Man of the
West" carried the thoughts of the few
OF Winnipeg's citizens who were here
thirty-five years ago back to 1871. Mr..
Hill was not known as great railroad
man IN those days, but his name was
associated with steamboating. The st.
Paul and Pacific railroad had line
running north from St. Paul, so miles
TO st. Cloud. Mr.. Hill who was origi-
nally a Canadian, from the vicinity of
Guelph, Ont, then resided in st. Paul
and did commission business for
merchants at Fort Garry, afterwards
Winnipeg, receiving their furs and ar
ranging for disposal of them.
AT that time Messrs. Bannatyne &
Begg had large retail store here and
did an extensive business in Quitting
for hunters and traders. MIR. A. G. B.
Bannatyne erected large warehouse
on the bank of the Red river at the
loot OF Lombard street, in which the
more perishable goods were stored,
MI. Andrew Strang was manager for
the firm. The first steamboat of the
Hlll-Griggs line, the Selkirk, was run
ming that year. The quantity of goods
arriving was so great that sometimes
as many as four barges were required
10 carry them. So great was the
necessity for dispatch, that goods were
nurrledly rushed off and piled I'M on
the bank in long rows, covered with
tarpaulin, as had been the custom
along the Mississippi, the river bank
being called the "levee" Mr.. C.. N.
Bell, the present secretary of the
board OF trade, was in charge of the
warehouse. Mr.. Hill visited Winni-
peg in those days from time to time
ana remained during intervals be-

.READY.MADE HOMES ARE
Always N DEMAND

People of democratic tastes, who
like to five in a house," but not in a
lonesome one-solve the problem
easily and to their profit by renting
furnished rooms to pleasant people.
Isn't it better to live in a good
house. with a few dodgers who pay
your entire rent for you a little to-
ward your household expenses, than
to live in small apartment, alone,
with expenses that grow harder and
harder to meet?
II you advertise PERSISTENTLY
you may, at nominal cost, keep
these "READY.MADE HOMES" al
ways tenanted by THE RIGHT KIND
OF PEOPLE, and the somewhat bitter
problem of HOW TO MAKE BOTH
ENDS MEET will give you less con-
Germ.
When you set aside few rooms in
your house as "ready-made homes"
and begin to advertise them you will
be surprised to md how many Of the
mice sort" Of folks live In furnished
rcoms-and you will be surprised to
find out how easy Q matter 1t II to
wipe out the terrors Of your own rent

BLOCK SIGNAL
SYSTEM
Great Northern Installs One Between
Grand Forks Junction and Devils
Lake at Cost Of Over 10000
Extra Force OF Operators Needed.

A new and complete "block signal
system" has just been completed and
placed in service by the Great North
ern railway between Grand Forks
junction and Devils Lake, at a cost of
about $4,000. The installation marks
number of changes in the method of
handling trains between the points
mentioned that will work for the Safe
ty of the travelling public, though at
no inconsiderable cost to the railway
company. The employment of an ex-
ira force of from twelve to fifteen
operators will be necessary, as there
must be day and night operator in
each block at stations and sidings.
Heretofore it has been the custom of
the railroad to allow freight and stock
trains to leave a station close behind
a passenger or other fast train, but
under the block system no train will
be allowed to enter a block until it
has been cleared of all other trains.
For example: A passenger train
leaves the Junction at Sis a. m. and
a freight desires to follow it. This
will not be allowed until the passen-
ger train has cleared the block at
OJata. Railway men say that the sys-
TEN will have the effect of delaying
the handling of trains, but they admit
that there is much less liability to
accident. There will also be heavier
work for the train dispatchers.
The Great Northern intends next
year to extend the blocks" further
west.

ENcE THERE RECALLS EARLY DAY STEAM

tween the arrivals of steamers. Mr..
Bell recalls occupying bed In can
vas tent. which was shared by Mr..
Hill and Mr. r. A. Davis, afterwards
premier of the province. Associated
with the party were also Mr.. John
Higgins, and Mr.. w. H. Lyon. Mr.. J.
II. Ashdown was large importer at
that period Another of the early Red
river steamers was the International,
the Oldest boat of the Kittson line.
Afterwards several more were built.
A rival line called the Merchants In
ternational line, which built two
steamers, the Manitoba and the Mime
sofa, was started by Winnipeg mer-
chants. This line was afterwards abb
sorbed by the Kittson line; and the
whole of the boats were run by the
Red River Transportation company.
These continued to do Furnishing
business until the completion of rail-
way construction connecting Winni-
peg with the south destroying their
usefulness.
The profits made by the transporta-
ton company in those days when
there was no competition, were some-
thing enormous 1t was claimed that
the dividends were so great that a
steamboat paid for itself nearly every
trip. After the amalgamation of the.
two lines the dividends were, it was.
said 66 per cent the first year and SO.
per cent the second year. After the
advent of the railway some of the
boats ran for season on the Assini-
boine and some of them for a few
years on the Saskatchewan. In 1873;
seventeen steamers and fourteen bar.
ges were counted 1.-THE Alpha and the.
Cheyenne were other we'll known
names). and in 1879 Winnipeg had
railway communication. !
Since the steamboat days Mr.. Hill
mas been rare visitor to Winnipep.
One lively occasion recalled was that
OF the struggle between the Northern
Pacific and st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba railway companies to get
hold of the Manitoba Southwestern
railway. when the directors met here
IN connection with that matter in 1882.
and when the Southwestern was taken
over by the st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba, now the Great Northern.
The representatives of the trades
ana labor council and the business in
terests of the city, who were desirous
OF arranging demonstration in honor
OF the visit OF James J. Hill, received
notlhcatlon yesterday from the rail-
road magnate informing them that ow-
ing to the many engagements which
he was bound to arrange for he had tn
forego the pleasure of the torch light
procession. He expressed his graft
tude in thankful terms and regretted
his inability to allow the labor and
business interests to do him homage.

taken as an indication that they were
not handling the money of the district
recklessly. The resolution was un-
animously passed, and then the meet
ing resolved itself into a sort of love
feast in the interest of the school. Sew
eral spoke on the splendid building
erected by the board and the efficiency
of the actual work IN the school room
Sherlock stated that the meetings of
the board were always open to the
public and that it was the desire of
the members that the tax payers at
tend and express their opinions on the
matters before the board.
Prof. Burnett was called upon and
stated that the patrons did not take
sufficient interest in the work of the
schools. That the teacher and parent
were both working to accomplish the
same end and that by cooperation they
could work more in harmony and con-
sequently accomplish more.
The meeting was worth much to the
school and to the community.

tain a correct report of the meeting
, at first hand. The Herald representa-
tiv wandered in near the close of the
meeting-and got full and complete
report.
Chairman johnson stated the object
of the meeting and called for express
siOns from the tax payers present. A
large number responded and all were
of the same opinion. j. Cresien stated
that SO far as ascertaining any crook
edness on the part of the present board
was concerned he did not see any need
of auditing the books. That she knew
they were honest and In erecting the
magnificent school building they had
given unselfishly of their time and
energy. But that there were rumors
that the books were wrong and that
crookedness was charged and as tax
payer he was decidedly in favor of
having the auditing done in order to
silence these slanders.
Judge Sullivan said the unfounded
rumors should be silenced by the truth
which would be brought out in the
auditing. Certain newspapers had
agitated the matter and some Of the
citizens had threatened to petition the
board to have the auditing done, and
failing this to apply to the court to
compel the board to act. That these
statement had gone out to the world
and it was only justice to the board
that they be indicated. 1t would give
the kickers information which they
need. He stated that 1t was. however,
not entirely question of digging up
scandal but that as business PROPOSE
+ f0n fhA he oh hn
that the old and deficient records could
be brought to light or accounted for
and a new start made.
F. G. Massee spoke along the same
line as did large number of others.
j. G. Sherlock on behalf Of the school
board of which he is a member, stated
that the board was unanimous in it's
desire to have the books examined by
experts. That the district had grown
from a small one to its present import
ance and that the system of books
started in the beginning had been pre-
served without change, and that it Is
important that an inventory of the
property of the board be made and a
new system inaugurated. That 1t was
due the members to have the work
done. That curbstone orators had
been proclaiming their rascality but
that they were afraid to come to the
meeting. In the examination the audi
tors will go back twenty years and
