GOT. TWO LIVE
ONES
Driver Gordon Has Brought i Pair Of
PAGERS to Town and Race VIII be
Pulled on on the Ice Tuesday After.

ullo0 VH On inc Ice Iue6QAy Alter
noon.
AS was anticipated In The Evening
Times. Driver Bob Gordon has return
ed from below with a pair Of "live
ones," two likely looking PAGERS and
he now has them quartered at the
track.
They are being given workout
every day in preparation for a brush
with the local favorites, Della Downey
and Buster. and Tuesday afternoon it
is expected match race will be pulled
off on the ice track which will be of
considerable interest to local horse
men.
Buster and Della Downey will de-
fend the title for the local contingency
and they will be backed to the limit
by their admirers.
1t is going the rounds that the fame
OF the local filly and the staid Buster
have spread abroad and that these two
strangers have come in with the aim
In view of taking their measure.
Gordon Is not talking but is con-
coded to be first-class driver and
knows how to get out all there.is in
a horse.
While the two horses look good and
are evidently fast, they will find them
selves In rapid company when. they
tackle Buster and his little friend. the
pretty Della ID.
buster has not been driven out this
season. There appears to be world
OF speed In reserve as this horse moves
down the ice and he has stride
which means business. His last per-
Torrance was not satisfactory, as q
loose quarter boot resulted in his
striking once or twice and from that
time the horse was cautions in his
stride.
Della Downey can get away faster
than any animal in this part of the
state. She is all nerve and grit and in
sulky race 1t may be anticipated that
the little mare would weary herself
in scoring.
On the Ice, however, the horses are
easily started, and it means "a busy
day" for the horse which goes after
her.
Charley Reed, owner of buster, is
credited with being ready to back his
animal, while the strangers have
friends with plenty of cash.
To make good, interesting race it
would be bunch to invite Joe Eckert
Of Crookston, who owns the fast colt
Mixer" over. There would be some
thing doing and it would be anybody's
race. Della looks good to The Even
ing Times man for a quarter, but
Buster for, ours in mile finish-wait
and see.

A CHAT WITH
KROSTUE
Fisher Statesman and Financier
Talks to The Times Man on Drain.
age and Politics Of Minnesota.

age and Politics Of Minnesota.
Honorable Gunder Krostue of Fish
err, representative in the state legisla
ture of Minnesota and wealthy finan-
cier, was guest at the Hotel Da-
cotah last evening. His train being
very late Mr.. Krostue spent very
pleasant evening chatting in the lobby
with old-time friends and acquaint-
ances, of which he has many in Grand
Forks.
Mr., Krostue is very much interested
in the drainage convention to be held
in this city next week and anticipates
that there will be much good resulting
from it. Congressman Stevenson of
Minnesota has introduced a bill in
tended to provide for the drainage of
much of the land of the state and Mr..
Krostue is of the opinion that this
bill will be passed and that it will
have much influence upon the pro-
posed plan of the reclamation of
lands in the state now practically
worthless because of the lack of ir-
rigation.
when I first came to the valley"
said Mr.. Krostue, I'VE did not think
we could go over few rods from
the river to farm successfully. Since
that time, however, the uplands have
been cultivated and are producing ex-
cellent crops and there is still much
much good land in the state which
will eventually be under the pillow and
producing good crops. There is much
good land in the state which is in
need of irrigation and l look for prop
er legislation soon. which will permit
of such being accomplished

CONVENTION
WAS LARGE

Expected There Will BE Big Bunch
Of People in the City Next Week
Preparations Being Made to Enter.
tain Many People From Over the
Northwest.
There will be big crowd in the
city next week to attend the drainage
convention. The Evening Times has
published the program several times
and there has been no alterations or
additions to It, The presence of Pres
ident Hill of the Great Northern and
other noted speakers will bring many
people to the city. An unusually low
rate on the railroads will be another
drawing card The management is
endeavoring to get rate of cent a
mile and it was stated by a we'll
known Great Northern official that 1t
would probably be secured Many
people who are not interested in the
drainage convention will come to the
city taking advantage of the rates to
visit friends and transact business
The counties and cities of the west
side of the Red River will be repre-
sented by nearly 800 delegates The
appointment of all the delegates has
been made by the county commission
ers and the mayors. While many of
the delegates may not attend 1t is
hoped that the presence of President
Hill and the low rates will bring the
greater portion of them.
DR.. Taylor, Of the local committee,
has sent out circulars to the CONNER
cial clubs and other organizations of
this section of the northwest inviting
the public generally to attend the con-
vention In this and other ways it has
been we'll advertised and the attend
ance will be good
The local hotel men are anticipating
large crowd and will prepare extra
accommodations. There will be room
for all who come.
In speaking of welcoming the dele
gates every citizen of Grand Forks
should constitute himself committee
of one to look after the visitors. Every
citizen should make an attempt to at
tend some of the meetings, whether
they are interested in drainage or not.
The visitors will appreciate the inter-
est you show in public affairs and a
big rousing convention and a hearty
welcome means much for the reputa-
ton of the city. When people come to
Grand Forks and return to their homes
over the state it matters very mate
RALLY whether or not they have re-
ceived favorable impression of the
city and its people. If every citizen
puts his shoulder to the wheel and
boosts instead of knocking, the drain
age convention will be a great success.

ICELAND IS
NOT COLD
stefansson Says People Have
Wrong Impression of
That Island.

v. Stefansson, an assistant instruc-
tor at Harvard university lectured at
the assembly hall at the N. D. uni
versity last evening to a crowded
house. His lecture was on Iceland
and was an able presentation of the
characteristics of that northland, fully
illustrated by stereopticon views. AS
Mr.. Stefansson has spent two seasons
in Iceland, he is well qualified to speak
on the subject.
He said that people generally had
q misconception of the climatic con-
ditions prevailing in that island. 1t
Is not a frozen waste but its climate
is quite mild and delightful, being
amel0riated by the warm ocean cur
rents. Cattle live there all the year
around out Of doors and the ranges
afford them ample food. The resources
are varied and rich and the future of
the island seems to be bright.

were young and strong'and willing
to work. The country was new, the
PARTIES broad and neighbors far
apart. The Hansbergers made their
choice OF location about three miles
from Worthington on what has
proved to be one of the best farms
in the county. Here they get to
work with a determination to sue
ceed. Maple seeds and other vari-
.eties of trees were planted and the
work of forestry begun with the
result that the trackess prairie has
become a veritable forest about

of all. The closing piece, "The
Tune of the Nations'' particularly
captivated the audience. It was q
great occasion and the cele bration
one of the most unique ever held
in Mobiles County. The. exercises
closed with singing ''God be with
you" and the pronouncing Of the
benediction.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hansberger are
the recipients of many congratula-
tions and kindly wishes May their
friends from Indiana and Ohio deci-
to come oftener to Minnesota for
their annual family reunions and
''Long live the Hansbergers.''
A permanent reunion organiza-
tion was formed and it was decided
that all would gather at the home of
Thomas Hansberger in Monroe
county, Michigan, next year, where
repetition of the good times enjoy
ed this year is anticipated.
! Many of the visiting mem bers of
the families visi ted at the Advance
Office, and expressed their pleasure
at the beauties of southern Minne-.
sofa. For a number it was their
first visit to our state and they were
greatly surprised, at the develop
ment of our resources.

Death of, Charles SterIina

Charles Sterling for many years
a resident of this city, died on
Wednesday at his home in PLACER,
this state. The telegram announc-
ing his death did not state the
cause, but his sickness must have
been of very short duration as no
word had been received prior to
the telegram, and the notice of his
death VISA a great shock to his
aged parents, and relatives here.
His daughter Agnes was here at
tending school, having left her
father enjoying good health two
weeks ago.
Deceased resided in Worthington
for ~ years: having been employed
az a section foreman on the Omaha
railroad. Five years ago he pur--
chased a farm near PLACER and re-,
moved to that place. He was 50
years of age and is survived by q
wife, five children. an aged father
and mother, five brothers and four
sisters.
Ernest and Sophia Sterling
brother and sister and Agnes Ster-
Ing, daughter, departed for Pilager
W ednesdsy afternoon to attend the
funeral which was held Wednesday
afternoon.

tives have the sympathy of all in

f alse or True!
WHICH?
To the Voters Of Mobiles and Murray Counties:

We had no intention of deceiting
you as the circular was published
long enough in advance of the pri-
maries to give him ample time to
reply. II we had wanted to de-
ceive, we would have waited until
a few days before the primaries.
If the circular is ''unolean" it ia
because Mr.. Shells record is ''un-
clean" and for this he should not
blame me, Before he ceases his
TRADE of abuse he admits that the
same was the truth. We ask you to
take his circular and the one entitled
"Senator Shells Record" and COM
pare them and see if he has proven
the latter false in one particular.
We have refrained from calling
not believe it clean pol
itics to do so. Mr.. She'll is a gentle
man and nothing has been said
against him az a citizen, but we do
claim that his public record is sub
jeot to criticism. y
In conclusion we wish to thank
all our friends for their many kind
words of appreciation and assure
you we shall look back to this cam
paign with a great deal Of pleasure,
whatever the outcome may be-.
