C|TY's GROWTH TRENDS WESTWARD
Indications Point to Much Building
Next Year In the West End.

Inquiry among the real estate men
of the city indicates that the develop
ment of the city next year will be in
the direction of International, Univer-
sity and Bulge avenues. Already
large number of building lots are be-
ing purchased on these thoroughfares
and the purchasers are not specula-
tors but men who intend to build resi-
dences. The majority Of these people
will in all probability build next year
in fact many of them are already
procuring plans and getting every
thing in shape for the work in the
coming spring. The westward ad-
vance of the city will be further in
creased by the beautiful addition
which William Bulge will throw open
next spring. The park which he has
laid out by the best expert landscape
artist in the country and which will
be planted to trees next spring will
be one of the beauty spots of North
Dakota. 1t was his intention to plant
the trees this spring. but the inferior
character of the stock shipped to him
prevented the carrying out of the work
as he would not use the same, and it
was then too late to procure the stock
from other places. This work will be
done in the spring and the park will
be one Of the fixtures of the city.

P|NKERT0N SLEU1H
On the Track Of Harry John.
son Who Was Recently in
East Grand Forks.

Last evening quite surprise was
sprung on the police force when a
detective from Minneapolis and his
employer, an agent for the Hennepin
Elevator company of the same city.
hustled of train and inquired for
the whereabouts of a certain young
man named Harry Johnson and two
pals who acted the part of the million
aire spend-thrifts a few days ago in
one OF the local saloons. From the
elevator mans story it appears that
the money was lost by him at Manson,
N. D., small town 81 miles north of
York. They arrested a man there on
the charge of keeping the money but
he was acquitted and the notice given
to the unlucky loser that a man was in
custody in East Grand Forks who
seemed to have an over-abundance of
the yellow metal.
The fellow Johnson when released
from custody here wendell his way to
Crookston where he complained to
the police department that he was be-
ing followed by thugs. From Crooks
ton his course is not known definitely
but the detectives think that no diff
Guilty will be experienced in following
such a loud trail. Johnson claimed
that he was the son of a wealthy
saloonkeeper of Seattle, WASH, and
that he had just sold claim in North
Dakota.

may PLAY INDEPENDENT BASEBALL
Scheme on Foot Whereby City May
Get Some Beneficial Advertising.


A plan is on foot with every pros
pect of ultimate success to have a sea-
son OF base ball in this city next sea-
son which will give the city credit
able standing in its class without be-
coming burden to the public spirited
business men. The plan is to have
the city play Independent ball. The
team will be composed entirely of
local talent except possibly a pitcher,
and the season will include about
thirty or forty days. The first games
would be on the home grounds with
series of probably six or eight games.
This would be followed by a two
weeks tour on the road and closing
series on the home diamond. The
schedule would he arranged with the
teams In number of the larger towns
of the state, and while on the road the
club would carry special coach of
Grand Forks who would boost for the
team and boom the city at the same
time. In Il word the plan is to make
the trip regular advertisement for
the city. 1t is thought that subscrip-
ton of $1,000. from the business men
would be amply sufficient to put the
team beyond the danger limit and
would give the city Il chance to wit
ness some good ball without bur
densome expense. 1t is we'll to re-
member in this particular that num-
Der of the smaller towns in the state
last year played ball which would
have given our own professionals
cold shivers. The work is being push
ed at this time so that everything can
be In readiness when the season opens
and the boys be ready to take to the
field.

REWARD STILL PAID FOR "P|GGERs'
Attorney General Erich Denies the
Ruling to Eject That II Pigger
Pleads Guilty No Money
From State.

A statement recently to the effect
that the attorney general has decided
that in blind pig cases in which the
defendant pleaded guilty. no reward
would be Forthcoming from the state
on a technical ruling that in such
cases there was no conviction, appears
to be a misconstruction of the facts.
Attorney Crum states that he wrote
Attorney General Erich regarding the
matter and received reply to the
effect that he had never made any
decision that when blind pigger
pleaded guilty the officer effecting the
arrest is not entitled to the reward
on the ground that the "pigger" has
not been convicted.
There would be no special incentive
outside OF the mere performance of

of a "pigger" against whom the evil
dence was conclusive, if the $50 re-
ward was not forthcoming as certain
~ as in the case where the bigger"

Teachers Training.
The teachers of the Sunday schools
are gradually feeling their way to a
normal course of study. One hundred
and ten classes are reported as re-
suit OF the late convention. Twenty
six counties have been covered by the

that equals and even surpasses that of
the east.
Treasuref's Report.

THE ABANDONED BABY IS ADOPTED
Child Left ut Fargo by Lady Who Took
Train for This City, Adopted.

The authorities at Fargo have been
endeavoring for several weeks to clear
up the mystery of the abandonment
of baby by IL lady who afterwards
came to this city. At a meeting of
the county commissioners yesterday,
Supt. F. ID. Hall Of the North Dakota
Children's Home society, appeared be-
fore the board, and after brief re-
cital of the facts requested the COM
missioners to pass resolution de-
claring the chill ~ county charge
This. he explained, was in order that
the child might be legally adopted at
once by some well-to-do people.
The board instructed the county at
tOrney to draw up a resolution in ac-
cOrdance with the plan outlined by Mr.
Hall.
The superintendent stated that he
had made every effort to locate Mrs.
Bendeke, the supposed mother of the
infant, and obtain from her an assign
ment Of the child to the home, but had
SO far been unable to do so.

enumerated, also, to petty larceny ar

but the chief hesitated before he
would place the blame for these ar
rests upon the drinking propensities
OF the birds. Although the last month
has been quiet according to the chief,
1t would seem to the casual reader
that the police have been very busy
at least busy enough to keep the
crooked class of people out of the
city and to keep the streets free from
staggering DRINKS.
Another matter which ought to be
called to the attention of the people
of the city is that of clerks and en-
ployees, where there is no Waterman,
leaving the front doors unlocked.
The employee will oftentimes leave
the store late at night and forget that
the key should be used to protect the
stock and the cash drawers from the
prowling sneak thief. Several times
during the month and in some in
stances more than once for the same
store, the police have tried the doors
and found the clerk wanting-in
memory. However, the police state
that this is not at all an unusual &C.
currence as hardly week passes that
some place of business is not found
unlocked.

APPROACH OF BIG GAME SEASON
Hunters From North Dakota Will BE
Numerous This Fall.

Local railroad men are looking for
an unusual heavy travel Of big game

Dakota to northern Minnesota this

spects the season viii! be a record
breaker. Every year the patronage
of this class of passengers is quite
large. and generally an increase is
shown. more outsiders being attract
ed in this direction as the value of
the Minnesota forests as hunting re-
gions becomes better known.
The territory where the best moose
and deer hunting is to be found is
more easily accessible just now than
ever before, on account of the new
railroads that have been built during
the past year. The Minnesota & In
ternational, the Duluth. Rainy Lake &
Winnipeg. and new line extending
northward from Bemidji for fifty or
sixty miles, have all been extended
this summer. and in each instance the
extension reaches into Il country
Astounding in game. The fact that rail-
roads have never before penetrat Ell
these regions makes the sportsmen all
the more anxious to hunt there, for

tensions of logging roads in Minneso-
ia and Wisconsin offer new openings
to good hunting grounds.
Northern Minnesota always has been
popular hunting ground for North
Dakota people, but many parts of the

new ONTARIO STORE
OPENS TO THE
PUBLIC
Something of the Man Who
Has Done So Much in the
City's Up Building.
r. B. GR1FF1TH's SUCCESS
Business Grown From Small
Beginning To Great Com
mercial Institution.

The opening of the Ontario store in
its new and prominent quarters to-
morrow morning will mark one of the
big forward steps in the commercial
growth of the city. There are bigger
things than the writing of the name
of men in the pages of history. The
man who spends his life and his tai
ents in constructing great business
institution in community is of more
value to the public than many others
of history. The Ontario store is the
result of long years of careful and
honest business. From small begin
ming it has grown until it fills to over
flowing building that would be a
credit to city of hundred thousand
people. 1t is one of the fixed features
of the city and the erection of the
immense building which will be open
ed to the public tomorrow morning
is one of the greatest evidences of tn.
city's future. AS a business man Mr..
Griffith has been identified with the
commercial development of the city
for quarter of a century. He has
been in the very front of every move
ment which was calculated to advance
the moral and business life of the
community in which he has lived, and
the evidences of his work stand as
monuments to the integrity and pro-
gressiveness of a man whose modesty
has prevented many of his generous
acts from appearing in loud display
upon the bill boards. 1t is only fitting
that some mark of appreciation for
the good he has done the city both in
moral and business way should be
recognized by the people of the city
which he has done so much to build
up.

bosses BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME
Discussed BY j. A. Mallet, a Visitor in
the City, Today-Talks Enter.
tainingly of Home Cfty.

One of the prominent visitors in the
city today is James A. Mallett of
Boise, Idaho, who has just started on
a trip through the eastern states to
last several months. Mr.. Mallett is
very enthusiastic over his home city,
Boise, and talked very freely in re-
gard to the business opportunities
situation, fruit culture, etc, of the
district.
He says that to account for the Won
derful growth of southern Idaho, it
must be taken into consideration that
the irrigation of the sage brush prai-
ries converts them into the most pro-
ductive of lands, and as a guarantee
OF immediate future growth it is but
necessary to state that the Twin Falls
proJect-the largest irrigation scheme
IN the United States inaugurated by
private capitals we'll under way
and will reclaim 100000 acres. while
the Minidoka protest will add 10000
acres and the Boise-Payette project,
at Bosses very door, will bring under
cultivation 100000 acres, upon which
tens of thousands of happy and pros
porous people will be housed in COM
Portable homes. These two latter pro-
jects are under national control and
are being pushed rapidly to compile
ton.
Mr.. Mallet states that with the en-
ception of the magnificent plant Of
the Barber Lumber company adjacent
to the city of Boise and in the business
of which concern 81 100000 is invested
and which will employ with the open
ing of the coming season in the neigh
borhood of 1000 men in all its branch
es. there is practically no manufac-
turing enterprise to speak of in Boise,
although water power is abundantly
available and electric companies have
power on the market
Fruit Culture.
In addition to the mineral. agricul-
tural. timber and stock raising indus
tries OF the surrounding country, the
Boise booster says there is a constant
ly increasing acreage in fruit, and in
this industry Ada county leads all
other counties of Idaho. Five and ten
acre tracts adjacent to Boise are de-
voted to this industry and the land is
held at from $3.50 to $500 per acre.
According to MIR. Mallet the fact has
been established from the government
reports that Boise ranks first among
the cities of the United States for
healthfulness, the percentage of the
death rate being the smallest. This
potent fact. especially observed
among the soldiers at Boise, led the
government to prepare to greatly en-
large and improve the barracks,
81 100000 being now available from
the treasury and being expended
for this purpose upon plans thorough
ly worked out that will make the bar
racks among the most up to date and
beautiful in the country.

the trip, and have therefore sought
other hunting grounds. Two years
ago. for example, it took a week to
go from Grand Forks to certain hunt
ing grounds that can now be reached
in twelve hours.
The hunting season is not welcomed
by employees of the railroads. It.
means lot of work for them. The
small game season isn't so bad, but
as soon as it is allowable to shoot
deer and moose the express cars are
filled to overlooking with the carcassea
of the dead animals, and the brake

in the cars themselves, are kept busy

amount of unpaid light bills and also
a list of what had been paid. A glance
at the books shows that several delin-
quents are prominent business men

said that he was sure that there would
be no trouble in collecting these and
on that account he didn't think it
policy to shut off the current.
