The offer is made by the Weber Steel
and Concrete Chimney company of Chi
cago, which is building the huge
chimney at the plant of the Grand
Forks Gas & Electric Co. Those who
are contemplating having the matri-
monial knot fastened while the autumn
nal breezes blow, will do we'll to sit
up and take notice. The offer is in
the nature of challenge nerve
challenge in fact, and those who have
the married life in view, had better
consider on pain of having their brav-
cry challenged. The only alternative
from this deduction seems to be to
have some one undertake the UNIQUE
venture.
The Weber company is accustomed
to make this offer wherever it con-
structs chimney. and of the hun
dreds of challenges given out in the
last few years, but one lone instance
is recorded where the offer was taken
up. This was at Winona Lake, Ind.
To say that the undertaking requires
considerable nerve would be putting
it mildly for indeed few men in this
city or any other city in the country
could muster enough courage to climb
up narrow steel ladder to the dizzy
height of almost 200 feet. When it is
considered that the bridegroom in the
500 offer must do likewise, one hardly
wonders that, though the offer has
been made in every country of the
globe by this company only once was
the dare taken.
A description of this thin, strong,
skyscraper might here be of some in
terest. The concrete shell of the stack
is exactly 8 feet in diameter, widening
little at the bottom to allow for
apertures. For the first 60 feet there
are in reality two separate chimneys,
one inside the other. The purpose of
this inner flume is to keep the heat
from the boiler off the outer shell as
much as possible so that the UNEQUAL
contraction and expansion of the con-
crete will not tend to hasten disinte-
grafton. The inner wall is but four
inches In thickness while the main
stack or outer shell is eight inches
thick in its entire 1S9 feet. 1t is 10
feet from the large fue hole to the
ground leaving about IT'S feet of con-
crete between the cap and the top of
the boiler house. At present the work
is being done at height of 1923 feet,
so it can be seen that considerable
work and time must yet be expended
before ready for the loving couple,
waiting to make an easy 800.
Joseph S. Jaraczeski. the foreman
in charge of construction of the pile,
when asked regarding the chimney this
morning. said that he had been en-
gagged in similar work for number of
years. both in this country and abroad.
and that he had become used to the
work, SO that 200 feet hardly bothers
him any more. He also said that in
heavy electrical storms. work on the
chimneys become very dangerous, as
the lightning rods are not put on until
the heavy work is completed There
are four companies doing this class of
work in the United States, but the
Weber company completes by far the
greatest number of contracts. Volney
Jaque, one of the experts that have
been employed in the work. went to
Minneapolis last night in connection
with contract on a chimney being
erected for w Whitaker and company.

Looking For Ray.

The police last night located young
lad about IA years old who had just
arrived in the city and told several
parties that he had run away from
Minot. A watch was kept on the boy
and today it was found on inquiry
that lad answering his description
was wanted at Minot and the police
are now trying to locate him. The
youth wanted at Minot is named Oscar
Smestad and weighs 1875 pounds, but
the one in East Grand Forks says that
he is not the one wanted. He claims
to have come from the old country but
a short time ago with a farmer for
whome he agreed to work. Recently he
says the man began to abuse him with
the result that he ran away.
A boy answering about the same
description is also wanted at Fargo by
his parents E. c. Fairbanks and it is
quite possible that the one here is the
Fargo lad.
H. Holten and ]. Storholm are in
today from threshing and will remain
in town the rest of the day.

Two Girls Drunk.

Chief Franklin and officers PAM
rum and Nelson had all they could do
last evening to handle two girls, Clara
Young and Jose LaPoint, from the
Hallow district, who had drunk more
than enough booze, to the city hall.
The girls were discovered in the rear
OF saloon where they had driven
horse. They had just secured some
more whiskey and were disposed to
disobey the commands of the officers.
The smaller one was loaded into the
buggy without much trouble but the
other. big six-footer, required all
three policemen. They were locked
up and were arraigned in Judge Sulli-
vans court this mornino on a charge
of disorderly conduct.

OVERLOOKED ;45 N VEST POCKET
Dennis Dolan Of Garrison Victim Of
Brutal and Daring HOld.up.

Garrison was the scene of another
hold-up which for brutality and daring
has few equals. Dennis Dolan, one of
the railroad contractors on the 500
extension north from Garrison, man
of good standing in the community,
was the victim.
Mr.. Dolan had just left one of the
pool rooms and was on his way to the
company's stores when he was met
by two men, one of whom dealt him
severe blow. This stunned Dolan a
moment and the next instant the two
men were stamping him under foot.
Dolan was badly beaten and his face
horribly lacerated.
The thieves secured watch and
$1.25 from their victim, apparently not
searching him thoroughly, for in an
inner vest pocket he had a sum of $45.
