BRITISH AND q. s. GUNNERY.
Picked Teams From Battleships Of
Both Countries May Compete.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Aug. ia special
cable to the Sun from London says:
There is great interest in naval cir
cles in the suggestion of Rear-Admiral
Bradford of the United States navy
for a gunnery competition between
picked teams from British and Amer
lean battlships. In the British navy
there is tendency to discredit some
what the records of good shooting in
the United States navy. 1t is not
denied that there are many good
marksmen across the Atlantic, but it
is pointed out that the American serv-
ice target is considerably larger than
the British, while the Americans do
not carry their shooting on the lines
of British battle practice, regardless
of weather and under conditions such
as would prevail in war. Running tar
get practice in the American navy is
carried out in smooth water, render
ing it much easier to score large
percentage of hits. Concerning the
selection of representative British
gunnery team the Royal Marine ar
tfllery holds the record as having the
best heavy gunners in the feet.

ST. MICHAEL'S HOSPITAL.
Articles Of Incorporation Filed and
Officers Named for New Institution.

The articles of incorporation of st.
Mtchael's hospital which have been
filed for record, merely carry out the
plan which has been understood by
the general public for some time-in
fact ever since the actual work of es-
tablishing the hospital has been under
way. While the work has been urged
by the practicing physicians of the
city, it has been the plan to have the
hospital conducted entirely by the Sis
tiers of st. Joseph. They have proven
the noble character of their work
along this line in other cities where
they have hospitals, and the people OF
this city are indeed fortunate in Sc
curing their help in the one here.
The articles of Incorporation pro-
vide that the provincial superioress of
the archdiocese of st. Paul of the Sis
tiers of st. Joseph of Corondolet, Sister
Seraphfne Ireland, st. Paul; assistant
superioress, Sister st. James Doyle, st.
Paul, and superioress of st. Michael's
hospital, Sister Medaline Lyons, and
their several successors, shall at all
times be ex-officio members of the
corporation. The incorporators named
are Sister Seraphine Ireland, st. Paul,
president; Sister st. James Doyle, st.
Paul, vice president: Sister Bernardine
Maher, st. Paul, treasurer; Sister

I. The regularly adjourned meeting of
the school board has held last night
with all the members present except
O'Leary. Miss May 0'Brine was elect
ed a special teacher in the Sixth and
Seventh grades where the work has
heretofore been somewhat crowded.
She came from Black River Falls, Wis,
and Is highly recommended. A high

somewhat improves the work of the
schools along this line. The annual
tax levy was laid and provisions made
for caring for the future finances Of

manner burdensome. A resolution
relative to the enforcement of the COM

THE TROUBLE
Why Harvest Help is Scarce in
Some Places and Not in
1' Others. >~

The harvest nand proposition has
reached such a state the last two or
three days, it is reported, that farm
ers are forcibly dragging men to the
fields and coercing them into doing
manual labor for the good of the
cause. The trouble with the help sit
uation seems to be an overabuniance
of men at certain points, while others
have not been relieved in the least
by the stories sent abroad.
A Grand Forks man who returned
today from the western part of the
state, talking with an Evening Times
representative, said that few of the
incoming harvesters from eastern
states understood how easy it was to
spoil their chances for procuring
good job, and If they would use little
common sense they would probably
be far better of when the freezing up
time of the year comes around. At
present the time-worn custom is prev
alent, that is, instead Of waiting around
in the distributing points in Grand
Forks and Fargo and applying at some
of the employment agencies for ad-
vice, they start out of their own ac-
cord for fields afar, where they have
heard big prices are the go, and the
result is, either the grain is not quite
ready for cutting or else there is al
ready sufficient supply of harvesters.
Certain towns and localities on the
north branches out of this city are
the ones most in need of help and
harvesters sent along these branches
are going on to the end of the lines
presumably of sightseeing trips. 1t is
in these districts that force is being
called into play to get the men from
the trains.
Many of the men have come a long
way for work and on this account are
looking for something better than they
will get. The farmers along the desti-
tute lines are at the trains morning
and night Offering men 1925 and $3.50
day and oftentimes as high as $500
day, for "spikers" is given. These
$500 day men are generally the
trouble makers for the farmer and the
harvester. They are the men who hire
out at stipulated price, get one or
two good meals and a place to sleep
and then skip for the next stopping
place. This sort of thing hurts the
farmer and it hurts the harvester as
we'll.
An illustration of the way some men
feel about it is found in an incident
that occurred at a DeMers avenue
employment Office today. Three we'll
dressed and prosperous looking young
Germans entered and inquired for jobs
in the harvest fields. They were i'm
mediately offered good positions at
$2.75 day and board, the job to last
two months. No, the men didn't want
it. They had heard that employers
near Milton or some other little town
up the line were paying $500 day,
SO out they went. The trouble seems
to be that men are on the lookout for
more wages than is commensurate
with the crop and labor conditions.

LOS ANGELES 125 YEARS OLD.
Associated Press to The Evening Tines

-
Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 16.-Los An
geles is 125 years old today and the
citizens are celebrating the anniver-
sary in an elaborate manner. The
celebration is under the direction of
Father Juan Caballeria, pastor of the
Plaza church, who has always taken
great interest in the early history
of this city. There will be a historic
pageant, old time games will be play
ed and the people, dressed in the hand
some costumes of century and a
quarter ago, will dance and amuse
themselves after the manner of their
ancestors.
On August Is, 1881, Felipe de Neve,
governor Of Alta, CAL, came from the
San Gabriel mission to the Indian
village of Yang-na, and gave to the
settlement the name Ell Pueblo de Nu-
estra Sonora, la Reina de LOS Ange-
les-the Town of Our Lady, the Queen
of the Angels. This name was later
on abbreviated into Los Angeles.
