.CRO0KSTON REACHING
FOR NEW ENTERPRISES

At a meeting Of the recently -incor-
porated Commercial club of Crookston,
Thomas R. Brown, Jr., Of Minneapolis,
was selected as its secretary. Crookston
is going to reach out for manufacture
ing plants and jobbing houses, and to
give wide publicity to its desirability
as a center to supply the vast territory
to the north and west.
The club is to be officially known as
the s Twenty Thousand Club and
is composed Of practically all the bust
ness and professional men Of the town.
Crookston has had steady and healthy
growth and has q population at the
present time Of 5000.
tThere is no doubt but that Crook
ston is destined to become one Of the
leading scities Of the state,'' said Mr..
Brown today. It's citizens are wide
awake, active and absolutely harmon
ious on the question Of Improvement
and extension, and its attractiveness as
"a resident town and it's possibilities as
a manufacturing and jobbing center can
mot be overestimated.o
Mr.. Brown will enter upon his duties
as secretary to the club at once. He
has been a resident of Minneapolis for
the last nineteen years, most Of which
time has been spent in newspaper work.
He is well known here by his connec-
ton with local politics and he held the
position Of secretary to the mayor FOR
one term.

SASSY STREETCAR MEN
MAKE PATRONS SORE

II the present ordinances do not already cover
the case, an ordinance will be introduced In the
council to compel Fourth avenue shortline carr
to stop at all points on Lake street between
Fourth avenue s and Nicollet At certain hours
of the day all shortline run into the Thirty
first street station on the return trips. running
up Lake street to Nicollet avenue. The eighth
warders living near Lake street on the six inter.
yening streets want the privilege OF remaining
on the cars until they reach their streets.
Most Of the trainInen both motormen ano
conductors. are accommodating and make the
stops. but the fresh" ones 60 as they please.
As a result of the tactics of some of the new
drivers there is 'sblood in the eye" OF part OF
the eighth ward and 1t proposes to have the
cars stop at all streets when signalled.
The trouble has been slowly collecting but
came to a head at o'clock last night when
FIVE resident voters, taxpayers and respectable
citizens of the Intervening district were carried
beyond their street and then were treated to q
talk fest by the train crew.
The first call was for Clinton, another was fog
Third avenue and another for Second avenue,
but the driver in spite of signals ran to Stevena
avenue. The conductor held to the trolley ID
prevent the passengers from cutting OF the
current and refused to signal with the pull bell
or to allow 1t done. The driver covered his
number and founted the passengers. The con-
ductor's number was secured. The incident, with
Others was taken to one Of the aldermen and
relief asked and promised.

PURE WATER CRY
IS HEARD AGAIN.
IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE LIKELY
TO REOPEN CAMPAIGN.
Health Officials Toresee More Dreadful
u Epidemic Of Typhoid Than Any that
Has Yet Visited City In the Growing
Contamination Of the River.

The Improvement league will prob
ably resume it's campaign for fltra-
ton plant as an adjunct to the city
water supply system as soon as the city
cleaning movement is thoroly organized
and at work. It was the improvement
league WHICH took the initiative in the
movement for pure water two years ago,
and the members feel it their duty to
continue the work. The question has
not been formally before the league, but
individual members have expressed
themselves as earnestly in Gavor of the
installation Of some satisfactory method
Of purifying the city water.
Mass meetings called by the league
two years ago were well attended, and
such was public sentiment that a
Upure water commission, consisting
of three recognized experts, was APP
pointed by the city council to consider
the entire subject. The league con-
Quoted an active propaganda and en-
rolled thousands Of voters in the cause
of pure water. When the votes were
counted it was found that 81, 097 voters
were in favor Of the bond issue for d
pure water supply. Only S,541 votes
were counted in the negative. I'm
fortunately there were 40,391 votes
cast for mayor, and as the law has been
construed to mean that all those not
voting On bond proposition must be
counted as against it, the bond propo-
sition failed to carry, because it did
not get two-thirds vote.
Much Of the work Of arousing the
public to the constant menace to life
end health, thru impure water must be
done all over again, but the ladies say
that they are prepared to go ahead as
they recognize that the publication Of
the water supply is the most important
question before the people. While the
last typhoid epidemic was not so serious
as it might have been, it nevertheless
claimed scores Of lives and laid hun
dreds low. Health officials say that it
is only question Of time when a more
serious epidemic will come as the con-
tamination Of the Mississippi river will
increase every year. - + 81

gusto how Jimmy Hart the hard-hit-

the ball is highly valued.
