the durability, appearance and clean
Illness the cheapest and most desir-
able pavements which can be laid in our
city. We consider the asphalt paving
IN this city the best investment in pub
lie improvements which has ever been
made.
We have also had experience with
macadam pavement which has been
laid In the City of Crookston, but at
the present time the sentiment Of the
city Is general that asphalt paving is
the most desirable, and there are now
pending before the City Council peti-
tons calling for q large quantity of
additional asphalt pavement, and
other petitions also calling for such
pavement are being circulated and
generally signed.

THE EVENING TIMES. GRAND FORKS, N. D.


1892 and 1894 the people of the city
did not participate in the election Of
the county superintendent. In 1895
law was passed changing the time
OF the election Of the county superin-
tendent from June, as It had been be-
fore. to the same time as the other
county officials were elected, but It
did not change the qualifications Of
the electors. In fact the clause which
disqualified the voters in the city from
participating in such election was re.
incorporated in the revised law, show
Ing conclusively that the legislature
intended this provision to remain. But
the placing of the name of the county
superintendent upon the official bal
lot and a failure to change the names
on the ballots used in the city. are
responsible for the habit of voting
for the county superintendent in the
city. This election is the first time
however. that the city has changed
the result Of the choice in the coun-
try and Is therefore the first time that
1t has been necessary to invoke the
aid of court in constituting the law.

The Illinois Central Pint

The sentiment aroused in the mind
Of Wall street people, by the news
regarding the Illinois Central contest.
Is one Of profound disgust. We heard
a good deal, four years ago, Of tho
menace involved to investment enter
prise in the snatching Of conserve
tive railways by the rowing banditti Of
Wall street. Their purpose was
either to exact blackmail as the price
of surrendering their booty, or else to
fling a soberly managed company IN
to the arena Of stock jobbing mani
pulation. They would probably, how
ever. resent comparison with the
leaders in this affair. Nothing that
the Gates clique" ever did, or at
tempted to do, was surrounded BY
quite such an atmosphere Of base
ness as this exploit in Illinois Central.
At their worst, the freebooters Of
1902 bought control of a stock i'll
open market. and bought it from peo-
pie to whom they owed no loyalty OF
obligation. The Western crowd" did
not trick it's victims into agreements
which turned out to be lawyers trans.
it did not Spring" special meet
ings on opponents handicapped by alb
sence or sickness. 1t did not. by
dangling the bait of Office, tempt old
associates Of such opponents to be-
tray their friends.-New York Evening
Post.

Leading Business Men and Citv

Considering Durability, Ap.
pearance and Cleanliness

The agitation in favor of aspha1t
pavement is getting more interesting
as Investigations are made into the
merits of the several kinds which have
been proposed for this city. Crooks
ton Is among the few cities in this
part OF the country which have tried
asphalt, and in order to give the peo-
pie Of Grand Forks some idea of what
the residents and business men of that
city think Of the pavement, state
ment was procured from those who
had given the matter consideration.
Many Of the persons whose signatures
are attached to the endorsement of
asphalt are we'll known in this city
and their judgment will be considered
of considerable weight The state
ment given out by the Crookston peo.
pie is as follows:
Nov. Is, 1906.
To whom it may concern:-
We. the undersigned residents of
the City OF Crookston, county of Polk,
State of Minnesota, do hereby certify
that We have resided in said City Of
Crookston for the five years last past,
and were present in said city at the
time certain asphalt paving was laid
therein, towit, during the summer Of
the year 1903, said asphalt paving be-
ing the only asphalt paving laid in the
City of Crookston, and covering an eX-
tent of ten street blocks.
We have observed the conditions of
such paving continuously since the
same was laid, and have had occasion
at times to notice the sub-structure of
such pavement at such times as OPEN
ings were necessarily made therein,
and from such observation can freely
state that said pavement is free from
cracks, waves or buckling and in our
opinion said paving was laid in a sub
stantial workman-like manner, and in
way to promise durability, except the
ordinary wear Of the wearing surface.
and in all matters and things as re-
quired by the contract between the
City Of Crookston and the Barber AS.
phalt company, which company laid
said pavement
We have heard no complaints as to
the quality, condition, or durability of
the pavement, but on the contrary in
our opinion, and in the opinion of
many visitors to the city, who have
expressed themselves upon the SUBJ
ject, the asphalt paving in question is
OF first-class quality, and considering

Duluth. Mimi, Nov. 16.-After a

the corridor of the federal bnildin~
the settlers waiting to file on tho

men stole into the building and en-
sconced themselves in the spaca he.
tween him and the door. When tho
se1lefs awoke 1t was to find all their
lone and weary wait in vain. The
newcomers presented a bold front and
evtoeotly 1nteded to hold their places.
Inc land office authorities and the
pohce were powerless to prevent the
injustice. The Office recognizes no
such line, and it is a case of first come

to interfere except to prevent dis

possession was everything. II the
newcomers had attempted to secure
their positions by force the notice
would have had right to prevent It.
and arrest them for disorderly con.
duct, but they met with no resistance
and. had the other settlers attacked.
then 1t would have been the duty of
the police to interfere.
The man to secure the first position
was Thomas Madden, West Superior
street saloonkeeper, and he made the
INST entry when the doors were OPEN
ed.
While the trick greatly incensed the
settlers who had been waiting so long
to file, It probably did not make much
difference to them. The line became
disorganized. and here was some
pushing and jostling, but the police
managed to keep order, and all finally
made their entries. Out of the forty
three entries there were very few con-
Htcts. so far as could be ascertained
by the land Office officials and it is not
likely that any man has lost his claim
by reason of the trick.

CANDIDATE CALDER

Is Elected County superintend-
ent on the Face of Qualified
Votes Returned.
WILL CONTEST ELECTION
Voters in City Were Not En-
titled to Vote for This
Official.

1t seems the election of county
superintendent in this county Is not
settled by any means at this time. I'm
mediately following the election, the
voters In the rural sections Of the
county began to protest against the
residents Of Grand Forks city voting
in the election of county superintend-
ent of schools. This seems to be q
prerogative they have acquired with
out authority of law.
city for that Office, the result of the
vote In the county is from 100 to 1874
votes In favor of w. L. A. Calder, the
republican candidate. It is probably
that an action will be instituted in
the district court at once asking for
an injunctive order restraining the
board Of canvassers from issuing a
certificate Of election to Miss Prinde-
vile, and Immediately following this,
contest will in all probability be
filed to test the validity of the cleo
ton upon the merits.
The law upon which the action is
based is the latter portion of section
638 of the 1899 codes and reads as
follows: There shall be elected In
each organized county at the same
time other county officials are elected,
county superintendent of schools,
whose term Of Office shall be two
years. commencing on the first Mon
day in January following his election,
and until his successor Is elected and
qualified. Any voter residing in an
Independent school district, organized
under o special act, having board
Of education and city superintendent
Of schools, shall not be qualified to
vote for county superintendent Of
schools.
The city of Grand Forks was so
organized and comes strictly within
the provision of the law which
estoppes the citizens from participant
ing in the election of county super
intendent The reason Of the law is
that because the county superintend-
ent has no authority over the schools
of such districts and consequently Is
not an official of the schools in the
same. that the voters living in such
cities should not participate In the
election of an officer who is respon-
sible only to the schools and tax pay
ers of the rest OF the county.
The history of the matter is that
the law quoted above was passed In
1890 and in the elections of 1890,

LARIM0RE R. R. IMPROVEMENT.

Larimore Pioneer: During the pres
ent fall months an extensive addition
has been made to the already large
railroad yards at this place. Last
spring a strip of ground 200 feet in
width and about three-quarters Of a
mile long located on the west side of
the main track where it crosses the
DICKSON farm was purchased of the
owner by the Great Northern COMPANY
and has been In part utilized for
tracks. Grading and filling in has
been done there and three or four
long sidetracks have been laid and
ballasted, making quite an extension
to the yards.
Some grading was completed during
the summer opposite the southwest
quarter OF town so as to carry a
track around the south end Of the
roundflouse, uniting with the yard
trackage north of the same. East of
the roundhouse the grade was made
Wide enough for two additional side
tracks, the rails being laid this week.
These tracks are for car repairing,
which is no new industry at the yards.
In almost every year since 1896
some addition has been made to the
trackage of the railroad yards at Lar
more, so that the total this year will
foot up about twenty-one miles.
The foundation piers for a new
water tank have recently been COM
pleted near the yard Office. The
roundhouse contains twenty stalls lex
elusive of the space of one stall used
for machine shop) and is constantly
filled with locomotives, with others
standing out in the yards outside. I'm
less this apparent congestion in re-
gard to stall room is in some measure
relieved in any way, it is only a ques-
ton of time when the stalling capac-
ity of the building will be increased by
the addition Of the seven stalls that
were planned when the last addition
was made four years ago. Quite q
large force of men are constantly en-
ployed here in the roundhouse yards
and on the incoming and outgoing
trains

Washington, Nov. 16.-Secretary

Oscar Solomon Straus, who is to

DR.. Krauskopf, pastor of the con-

of the memory of the late Secretary
Hay by the installation of a window in
a Jewish church is a decided innova-
ton and will be the first instance
where non-Jew has been honorei by
the installation of any sort of memoir

MURDER IS
THE CHARGE
(From Mondays Advertiserl

Magnus Folktward, a Norwegian
stOne-cutter in the employ of Hendrick.
the monument maker, was shot and
mortally wounded at an early hour yes
terday morning, succumbing to his
wounds at the Queens Hospital at 2
in the afternoon. Antoine Carvalho, a
Portuguese, who last season was catch
er for the II. A. c. baseball team, is
held at the police station under a
charge of murder in the first degree.
Mrs Opeka, u Hawaii woman, Is held
there also as witness to the tragedy.
The victim underwent an operation,
but died from the shock. One bullet
penetrated the right size, blowing
through and tearing the liver in a
frightful manner. Another bullet plow-
ed a deep furrow in the forehead.
Folktward visited some Hawaiians in
a tenement near Pauoa, close to the
bridge, Saturday night. There were
present man and wife, and a sister
of the latter, Mrs. Opeka, wife of a
member of the band. They drank con-
siderable. Antoine Carvalho called and
partook of drink or two. Later Car
valho and Folktward fought over the
woman, and Carvalho went away. The
native couple retired and Mrs. Opeka
went to her room. In the night the
couple heard a revolver shot and inves-
tigated. About 3 a. m. two men loung-
ing at a store in Pauoa heard ygroans
and cries for help. They investigated
and found Folktward crawling along
the street on his hands and knees. The
police were notified and the man was
conveyed to the hospital He said a
man called Antoine had shot him. Off
Ger White located Carvalho at his home
and placed him under arrest. Carvalhc
was taken before Folktward, who iden-
titled him as the man with whom he
had had the fight.
