"BUBBLERS" T0PRESENT BILL
At Next Session of State Legislation
Good Road Bill will Be
Presented.

In years gone by there has been
considerable agitation throughout the
state for good roads. A few years
back a good roads train under the
supervision of a government engineer
visited the important cities of the
country, including Grand Forks, and
pave practical instruction in this most
important item to a nations prosperity.
A section of roadbed extending from
Third street at the Wilder school to
the Great Northern tracks in the
neighborhood of the Fair grounds, was
paved and a great amount Of enthus-
iasm along road building lines was
stirred up as consequence.
With the coming into general use of
the automible the agitation for good
roads has again come to the force.
This movement looks toward the en-
actment of law at the next session
of the state legislature and within
a few weeks every automobile owner
in the state will have been COM
municated with and allowed to air
his views.
Not only is the automobilist favor
able toward good roads in the country
but every citizen who has occasion
to drive through the country is in fav-
or Of good roads. The good roads
proposition several years ago received
considerable attention but for some
reason or other it was allowed to be-
come dormant. Now that this state is
rapidly growing the promoters of
good roads are anxious to see some
legislation enacted which will start the
movement in this state and eventual
ly result in having good roads.
The movement throughout the east
ern states is meeting with success,
and the farmers are as much inter-
ested. in having good roads that ar.
passable twelve months year, as the
auto owner and the city man who likes
to drive out into the country:
The good roads advocates will pre-
pare a bill which will go before the
next legislature which If passed will
make it necessary for the several
counties in the state to improve some
Of the roads.
In the event that such bill can
be passed another bill is favored which
will provide to compel drives of au-
tomobiles and vehicles to keep to the
right and thus avoid cutting ruts into
the center of the roads.

up and ready for use by the time win
ter sets in. There are still several
carloads of lumber on the road. The
missing material is quarter sawed fir
to be used for the floor. However, the
other portions of the freight house can
be gotten in shape before the floor
is needed.
Few people in the city realize the
immensely of the new freight station.
It will be used for the transfer of all
classes of freight handled through the
local offices. The building itself is so
feet inches wide and 415 feet 8 inches
in length-almost a block and a half.
The foundations, made Of solidified ce-
ment, are already awaiting the SUPER
structure. They are about four feet
in height. G. N. Building Inspector
Carroll reports that but two cars Of
gravel remain to be filled in in the
interior of the shed. AS the floor is
to be four feet from the ground the
space underneath will be filled with
gravel and as above stated only two
cars Of the 1000 cubic yards Of gravel.
remain to be transferred from the
Arvilla gravel pit.

new G.M. SHED A MONSTER;
THE LUMBER HAS ARRIVED

The lumber for the new Great North
ern freight depot has arrived. It came
in last night and was greeted with Joy.
For two long weary months contrac-
tors and railroad officials have patti
emily awaited the coming of the mate
rial, so that work on the building
could be started and pushed to COM
pletion before the advent of cold
weather. The lumber is entirely fir,
grown and cut in the wilds of Wash
ington. 1t was shipped from Thorn
wood, Washington, a town in the midst
of the great fir reserves of that state.
The belated arrival of the material is
laid to the car shortage and to the
fact that after the cars were spotted
and loaded they could not be rushed
across the country like Uncle Sans
mail cars.
Libby and Mcneil, the st. Paul con-
tractors who have the contracts for
all the great Northern improvements
in this city, will start as large force
of carpenters on the shed today as can
be secured and 1t is hoped by the
officials and citizens of Grand Forks
alike that the house can be finished

A NEW BATTLE CRY
"Tax the Bill Boards Out of
Existence" Says Civic
Association.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct 26.-"Tax the
bill boards out of existence" will be
the battle cry of the American Civic
association for the next year as re-
cult of the plans decided upon at its
annual convention which opened in
Milwaukee this week. Sentiment in
favor of aggressive steps against the
bill board characterized all the ad-
dresses before the convention and the
organization will bring to bear upon
this problem the same powerful influ-
ences which made successful its cam
paign for the preservation of Niagara
Falls.
Secretary Clinton Rogers Woodruff
of Philadelphia read an interesting
paper on the National Impulse of Civic
Improvement,

MAIL CARRIERS ARE BUSY
Uncle Sans Mailmen are Hustling at
this Time of the Year.

Mall carriers have troubles of their
own. such Is the consensus of opinion
gathered from shreds of conversation
with the blue coated workers of Uncle
Sam In Grand Forks. A person would
be apt to believe that the work of the
mail distributor was an easy task. en-
bracing about or z hours of work
q day and short walk throughout
the city, spent in visiting friends and
incidently passing out the mail The
fact of the matter is that the mail
carrier has more troubles than the
average hack driver or news gatherer,
In the morning the carrier has to get
up early and report at the Office at
certain time. He has to sort out
the mail that goes to his route and get
1t In shape for quick delivery to the
persons to whom it is addressed.
There Is bad writing to be deciphered
and perhaps the letters he gets hold
OF, some of them at least, are so bad
ly addressed that it is sometimes i'm
possible to make out for whom they
are intended or it may be that the per-
son to whom it is addressed has
moved to some other part of the city
or has left town.
First class mail, letters and matter
OF that kind are not delivered accord
Ing to addresses as is popularity sup
posed. Most of the carriers know ex-
actly who lives on their routes and
they do not pay any attention to the
number and the streets as they ap-
pear on the letters unless it is some
one they do not know. People in adj
dressing letters frequently forget the
number and names of streets and use
something altogether different from
what is right.
Then there is the young lady of the
house who is expecting a letter from
some one, usually from her sweet
heart. She knows the time when the
postman is due to arrive on her street
and Is always at the door to meet
him. If the expected letter is hand
ed to her she Is all smiles but IL the
carrier passes by and fails to bring
her the expected missive nine times
out of ten she will say things about
the carrier. She is of the opinion that
he is to blame for the dereliction of
the ones who have failed to write as
they have promised.
Maybe there Is some poor fellow
who has been looking for letter from
home or friends in which they expect
to get money. The postman is al
ways to blame for the non-arrival of
the letters that are expected. The
business men, too, are hard to get
along with in sense as they expect
more from the carriers than they
should. AS rule the letter carriers
are patient and agreeable and treat
every one with all the courtesy pos
sible although at times 1t is very try
ing on them. Columns could be writ
ten about the experiences they have
in making their rounds daily deliver
ing the mail which comes through
Uncle Sans hands.

HAD MISSED HIS TRAIN

j. M. Sears of Buxton should be
given the medal for walking. He is
past 20 years of age and resides at
Buxton, town twenty-five miles from
this city. Yesterday morning he in
tended to take the train at that point
to come to this city, but missed con-
nections and the train came without
him. He did not propose to be left,
however, and at once started to walk
to Grand Forks. He left Buxton at 6
O'Clock in the morning and reached
this city at o'clock in the afternoon.
He was little the worse for the trip
and spent the evening walking about
the city and taking in the sights. This
morning he was as fresh and vigorous
as though he had just gotten in from
a pleasure trip.

ARRANGING THE SUPPLIES
County AUDITORS Office Force Getting
Supplies Ready for Shipment
Thirty.Seven Precincts.

The force in the auditors office to-
day began the work of arranging the
election supplies to be sent to the
several voting precincts in the county.
The number of official ballots, the
number of sample ballots and every
other article used in the conduct of
the election must be counted and
recorded. The task is no light one
when it is remembered that there ar.
thirty-seven voting precincts in the
county and that every one of the DIFF
ferent blanks must be bundled and
counted separately, it will be seen that
for few days there will be busy times
around the Office.

SAWYER ROBBERS BOUND OVER
IN BONDS OF $4,000 EACH


this gang with the Denbigh bank rob-
berry. Sheriff Lee, States Attorney
MCGEE and Judge Murray, accom-
panied by one of the robbers, went to
Sawyer yesterday and examined a
bottle which had contained nitro-gly-
cerine. Several fuses and a bar of
soap discovered in the bank makes
it evident that the gang were in nowise
strangers at the business.
Pictures will be taken of the five
men tomorrow in order that other au-
thorities may have chance to con-
meet them with previous crimes.

Since the mass meeting on Wednes-
day, the football practice at the uni
versity has been more enthusiastic
than ever. More players have turned
out. and old players have gone in
harder. There has been some really
fine scrimmage work, as the second
team is very strong. Thursday night
was devoted mainly to signal prac-
tice and development of speed in run
ming down under "punts and kick
ofs." Owing to the barring of right
guard Duggan, and the present in
ability of Bell to work at fullback,
several changes have become nec-
essary. Oliver, Bliss and Ellis are
candidates for the right guard posi-
ton. Brannon has been switched
from half to full. Ed Conmy plays
at right half and Griffin holds down
left half. Thus, the back field, while
not heavy, Is certainly fast and COM
posed Of good material. Bulge, a new
man from the Valley City Normal,
is q probable substitute for one of the
back position. Ching" Davis and
O'Keefe are the ends, O'Keefe being
new man taken from the second
team. His tackling has been especi-
ally noticeable.
Netcher still holds his place at
center. Stee, who has been having
trouble with his ankle, is again in fair
shape and likely to hold down the
position of left guard. Jereszek is left
tackle. Captain :.Burtness at right
tackle, has never been known to give
up the ghost In game. Both of the
latter are stickers, play hard and new
er get laid out. 'Chick" Conmy, the
quarterback and field general, is al
ways there with the goods" and it is
a pleasure to watch him play. His
work at Wisconsin was favorably
commented upon by Coach Hutchins
and he was made much of in the daily
press over the country. "Chick" al
ways has some surprises for those
who come to see him play. Finally
let 1t be said that there are no quit
ters" on the varsity team. The team
spirit Is excellent and the school spirit
Is backing every member Of the team.
There will be some good fighting done
at Fargo tomorrow.
I1ckets Tor the round-trip cost only
$2.35. and, If anything can be judged
by appearance at the University, it
will be a strange thing If single stu
dent can be found tomorrow who has
not gone to Fargo to cheer the team
to victory.
This evening on the grounds north
of the University, the students held a
great outdoor rally by the light of
huge bonfire. Student orators
kindled anew the fires of patriotism
in the student heart, and loud and
lusty cheers rang out in the evening
air for the North Dakota team.
The special train will be decked in
the University pink and green. It
leaves here between and 10 this
Saturday morning. Preparations of
all kinds have been made. The A. c.
aggregation will meet the most deter
mined eleven from the University of
North Dakota that ever went to Fargo
to do battle with them.

WILL CLASH TOMORROW
Grand Forks Highs VIII Play E. g.
+. on the Latter's Gridiron
Tomorrow Afternoon.

The management of the Grand Forks
high school football team announces
that a game will be played tomorrow
afteroon with the East Grand Forks
team on the grounds of the latter in
East Grand Forks. The East Side
team is light and can hardly hope for
smaller score then 80 to 0, but they
are reported as fast and gritty, and
may show the locals something about
trick plays. The game will be called
at 300 o'clock and large delegation
of rooters from this side will journey
across and watch a very interesting
struggle. This will be the first time
in its history that Grand Forks high
school has played the East Siders.
Several games have been played in
the past between the Second highs and
the Minnesota lads, but until this year
the neighbors to the east were hard
ly in class to warrant a game.
