A fine monument to the business
ability and industry of the Grifiiths
will be the new department store on
the corner of Third street and De-
Mers avenue, now fast nearing COM
pletion. Not only will it be monu-
ment to its owner and the contractor,
but to the city of Grand Forks. In
no other city the size of Grand Forks
In the northwest, and probably in the
entire country, can there be found so
fine building devoted exclusively to
the purposes for which this Is being
constructed.
Contractor Geo. Buckingham in
formed representative of the Even
ing Times today that the superstruc-
ture, with the exception of the glass,
Is now complete and the interior
workers. plasterers, plumbers and
electricians were now holding the
fort The new store will be ready for
occupancy by September Is at the
latest. Complete it will cost close to
100000, and will be filled with q
100000 stock of goods.
No other building, and probably no
other two buildings in Grand Forks,
have as large quantity of glass in
the construction. BY exact measure
ment, 1919 square feet of crystal, or
nearly $4,000 square feet, will be used.
The Pittsburg Plate Glass company,
which has the contract to furnish and
set the glass, has a crew of dozen
men now at work. There will be nine
large windows 20x16 IT,, nine 2Ox2O's
and numerous windows of lesser sizes.
All glass will be either double strength
or plate, and the contract, 1t is re-
ported, runs near the $4,000 mark for
this one item alone.
Barnes & Nuss have completed their
contract on roof and cornices and
Contractor Geo. Babler has crew of
men at work on the plastering.
Spriggs Bros. are rapidly completing
their contract on plumbing, which runs
about $5.000,' including those employed
by Geo. w. Cunningham, the general
contractor, crews numbering seventy
five men, are engaged on the big struc-
ture.
The building is Of brown pressed
brick, and because of its many large
windows, and height, it presents an
imposing appearance Truly. Grand
Forks owes much to the Griffins, as do
they also to the citizens of this city.

trusiOn Of Inspectors.

MarseilDes. March 13.-An excited
scene occurred today at the doors of
the cathedral. The local authorities
attempted TO take an inventory under
the church and state separation iaw.
w~hereupon the bishop wearing his mi
tire and surrounded by the congregation

to enter the cathedral, and read a
declaration denouncing the law as re-
newing the evils which brought on the
revolution and the reign Of terror.
The bishop added:

that l am prepared to suffer imprison-
ment. exile or death, in defending the

The question before Secretary Taft
is so momentous that he calls a fami-
ly conference to discuss the PROPOSE.
ton of accepting a seat on the federal
supreme court bench with the pros
pect of soon becoming the chief JUS
tice. Chief Justice Fuller is in mis-
seventy-fourth year; so, it is natural
to suppose that he will soon retire.
1t is said that when he does so Mr..
Taft, if on the bench, will be promot-
ed to the chief justiceship. 1t is not
often that a man, especially one in pub
lie life, hesitates to accept an Office
which is a great promotion and is
accompanied with the almost certain
prospect Of still greater prorotion,
and that, too. in the line of his profess
sion.

THE DUMMY DIRECTOR.

Henry Clews & Co.'S current financial
letter closes with the paragraph,
given below on the one-man-power
management of corporations and the
dummy director Of the same. The in
stance of the latter evil there referred
to differs from most of this class.
Generally the dummy director is some
clerk or other employe of some u Of
the men who control the affairs Of the
corporation and who attends the meet
ings in order to cast his vote as his
boss directs, or he is some "a who
has established a reputation in the f.
nancial world who for consideration of
one kind or another allows his name
TO be put On the list Of directors for
the purpose Of giving the corporation
reputation of having men of sound
business qualifications or with big
bank accounts on its directory. The
kind of dummy directors referred to by
Henry Clews is something new to the
public. No doubt many corporations
have just such men Oh their boards
whose only interest in the company is
to secure their fee for attending the
board meetings. With the manage
ment of the affairs of the big COM
panies and the disposal Of their mil
lions of dollars in the hands of one or
two men who are supported by such
boards of directors it is no wonder that
their affairs have gotten into the con-
ditions shown by the recent investiga-
ton of the big insurance companies OF
New York. Henry Clews says:
After the recent unfortunate expert
ences it would appear that the one
man-power management Of corpora
tions had better end, as we'll as social
ed dummy directors, and give place to
| open and above-board management:
also to the frequent publication OF
statement by expert bookkeepers as a
result of a thorough examination. l
once knew a man of very great bust
ness renown who during the last thirty
years of his life was much sought al
| ter because he possessed the qualihca-
NIOllo SSNCS" W
| satisfactory director; hence he was
connected with a very large number
or companies. He was a man OF
wealth; retired from business, and
possessed a corporal capacity, but il
was of the avoirdupois kind. His men.
tai qualifications consisted in his al.
ways attending punctually all the
meetings.. He came early and stayed
to the end; watched closely to deter
mine which way the majority vote was
going, and always went with it. He
was never known to open his mouth
except when the luncheon was served
after the directors meeting had ad'
journed. He was much lamented by
corporation manager when he died
He was their favorite director, on tn
ground, as claimed. that he gave NJ
trouble and was perfectly satisfied will
the result of every meeting when h
was handed his IS gold piece for at
tendance, which caused him to e.
