SESSION
Grand Forks County scandi-
navian Republican League
Meets Secretly.

The Grand Forks County Scandi-
navian Republican league held a
secret meeting in Normanden hall in
this city today. An Evening Times
representative called at the hall for
a report OF the sessions but was told
that 1t was a secret session and that
newspaper men were barred. While
ne was treated with every courtesy
he was plainly made to understand
that 1t was not desired that the public
should know what was being done.
AS to the nature Of the sessions, it
was claimed they were meetings of
the executive committee, but the fol-
lowing invitation, m:tny of which were
sent out to Scandinavians over the
county, would make it appear that it
was Il general meeting of a political
nature from which the press and the
public generally were excluded.
The invitation which was received
by prominent Grand Forks Scandi-
navian reads:
Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 8, 1906.
A melting of the Grand Forks County
Scandinavian Republican league will
be held at the Normanden hall in the
city of Grand Forks, on Wednesday
February 18th. Meeting will be called
to order at 10 o'clock in the morning
and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. You
are urgently requested to be present
The new primary election and other
matters of interest to our cause will
be explained and discussed. Don't
fail to come and ask your neighbors
to come with you and join us. Res
pectfully,
&C. Sorensen,
r. y. IhorSon, President
Secretary.

interference with state rights by the
general government. The statement
has been repeatedly made that all
that is wanted is to have the states
let alone. With due Difference to the
distinguished gentlemen" said Mr..
Grain, bowling to Mr.. Williams and
others, that is a deceitful statement
wholly deceitful and misleading
statement" Mr.. Grain was closely
questioned by Representatives Will
liams. Humphreys, Boutell, Clark of
Missouri, Clark of Florida, and others.
Other Measures.
Representatives Rixy, Clark of Flor
ida, Humphreys, Bowie, Pearre, Ma
con and others explained the provi-
sions of their measures. By a regu-
lation of the treasury department, col
lectors of internal revenue are forbid
den to. certify the names of parties
paying the government tax as retail
liquor dealers to the state courts even
under process of subpoena docus
tecum." A number Of the bills re-
quire collectors to produce copies of
eaSoS soA SSl lidS<LlCo III use Ill lie
courts and those present contended
that it would go far toward assisting
state officials to prosecute violations
of the law. Other bills go further
in refusing a government tax certifi-
cate to parties in prohibition states or
communities to the end that those SELL
ing liquors in such states or COM
munities might be prosecuted by both
the federal and state officials.
Anent State Rights.
In opposing the Williams bill, Rep
resentative Sullivan, of Massachusetts,
maintained that there were three
ways of getting liquor in prohibi-
ton state for personal consumption
by the purchaser-on credit, by cash
In advance, and &c. o. d." The Will
Hams bill wanted to cut out the &C.
o. d." method but left the others. He
thought it would be, an nnwarranted
interference on the part Of the gov
eminent with the rights OF citizens of
the states. Mr.. Grain reiterated these
points. The hearing continued all day
and it is expected further hearings
will be given, as the committee IL
anxious to hear from the secretary or
the treasury and commissioner of I'M
ternal revenue.

d gram.

There Is nothing that educates men
IN a truer sense than by echange of
1deas-a war of ideas If you please.
The clash Of mind with mind not only
stores up knowledge of diverse and
practical nature, but 1t habituates the
mind to quick PERCEPTION and quick
ems the power. of comprehension.
Nothing gives the power of putting
yourself in hts place." half SO quickly
as to listen to the exchange of ideas
In a club. Grand Forks has many
clubs, but none of them take higher
rank than the Fortnightly club for
men. 1t was organized in October,
1898, and has been a success from the
very start. It has nearly half COM
pleted its eighth season and is hold
ing most interesting meetings every
fortnight when questions of the hour
or of literary or scientific nature are
considered.
/ The roster reveals that it has among
. Its members the best blood and brains
of Grand Forks and it goes without
saying that an habitual attendance on
it's meetings is liberal educator in
itself.

On Contractor Dinnie That Building
Is Defective-C0uncil Supports His
Decision.
William Zimmerman, city architect
for Minot. delivered a formal notice
this morning to Contractor David A..
Dinnie rejecting the building erected
by the latter as Il city hall for Minot.
Mr.. Zimmerman claims that the build
ing is defective and not built accord
ing to plans and specifications. This
action by the city architect is in line
with the action taken by the city
council of Minot at it's regular meet
Ing held on Feb. 5, when with unan-
imous vote, the building was rejected
by the city fathers. The matter of the
rejection of the new city hall has been
under consideration by the council for
some time and their action taken Mon.
day was an endorsement of the build
ing committee appointed to inspect and
report on the building. Those present
at the council meeting were Mayor
Joseph H. Roach, Auditor A. J. Brun-
ner, City Attorney c. A. Aurland, Chief
Engineer NJ. E. Severance and Alder
men Emerson, Frank, Leighton and
Ramstad.
The building which was contracted
for at $4,000, including plumbing, is
a brick structure situated on the north
side OF West Second treet. near Main.
At special meeting of the city
council held last evening action was
taken on the grading of First and
Ward streets. The grading of these
streets will greatly enhance the prac-
teal value of the viaduct now
building across the Great Northern
tracks and the Mouse river and will
make second entrance into the city
from the west.

THE BUILDING

Contractor w. d. Rowe Laughs mt the
Notion Of the Federal Building
Being Out OF Levcl-No Settlement
Whatever of the Floors.


Yesterday morning w. d. Rowe of
Crookston arrived in the city and
started his crew of cement men at
work on the floors in the new federal
building. Mr.. Rowe has the contract
for all of the floor work in the build
ing and will rush the work to compile
ton as rapidly as is consistent with
good work.
He laughs at the story of the foun-
dation of the building being defective.
Mr.. Rowe says that if it had seriously
settled that the floors would be out Of
level. In the course of his work to-
day and yesterday he has found moth
ing that would indicate that there had
been any settling of the foundation.
In his opinion it would sustain an
other building of the size of the post

Pulled the Joint.

Officer Humble who has his beat on
the Point made a raid on a dugout
owned by party Of boys last night
The dugout was a'cleverly construct
ed one, being built in two stories, one
of which was a shack half out of the
ground and the other was hole
under the shack. The walls of the
place. were neatly boarded and COW
cred with luxurious paper and the
furnishings were of the decidedly loud
taste. Among the articles found in
the blood and thunder Dovels such as
Diamond Dick" Young Wild West
Jesse James" and the like. Smok-
ing paraphernalia of every description,
poker chips, a "can" and in fact every
article which could be used by a
tough bunch was found in the place.
