Local Comment

Arbor day was not as we'll observed
in this city as 1t should have been.
The day should be something besides
name.
Tennis is one of the cleanest and
most healthful sports in the list of
out door exercises and that the same
is to become the leader in Grand Forks
society out door pastimes seems likely.
The knock which occasionally APP
pears in the Herald anent baseball
does not tend to push the prospects
for the game. although not taken seri-
ously by those who know the cause of
the same.
The suggestion by The Evening
Times OF the formation of club made
up of newspaper men and younger
business men seems to have struck a
popular chord. We need club of this
sort.
We are glad to see the Bulge pro-
perty near the university being made
use OF and hope that the handsome
grove may be used as park. 1t is
a beauty spot and attractively located.
BicycliStS are using the sidewalks
more or less and it cannot be Won
dered at, considering the condition of
some of the leading streets. When,
oh when, will the question of paving
be taken up and some action started?
Grand Forks will become more of
summer resort each year for with the
fine Town and Country club grounds,
handsome park laid out and the
historic Red flowing through the city
and fertile farming country surround
ing, tourists will not overlook North
Dakota's banner town. More boats
and more attention to the sports on
the river should be given.
Another flat building would be filled
as soon as completed. Investors and
people having suitable vacant lots
should consider the big increase in
population sure to come this fall and
be ahead OF the tide. The early bird"
etc.
The Elks are to build a home for
themselves and this is proper as we
have one of the best lodges in the
state and the members are prominent
always in the entertainment of out
of-town visitors. Grand Forks con-
tinues to keep ahead Of the parade,
all of the time.
Mrs. c. NJ. Hopkins of Chicago will
arrive here about the middle of May
and make her home with her brother
F. A. Maxwell. Mrs. Hopkins was her
brothers guest a few years ago at
Larimore and will be remembered by
all who met her as charming woman.
She will be an addition socially.
The Evening Times hopes that pro-
viding brick is decided upon as the
proper paving material for our streets,
local manufacturers will be consider
ed. Streets paved with our own brick
will be pleasant thing to call the
attention Of visitors to and the local
product is OF the best we are told by
disinterested parties.
Approaching that the state univer-
sity is an institution to be justly proud
of, The Evening Times has secured
the ablest writer of university events
obtainable and calls the attention of
its readers to the columns under that
department. We are proud of the uni
versity and the office of The Evening
Times is to boost" not knock"
A local horseman says that saddle
horses do not pay in this city as an
investment for liveryman. Others
say they will and that riding club
will be organized, whether or not
saddle horses are put in by the livery
men. Several inquiries have been
made of The Evening Times writer
of this column as to where a saddler
could be obtained. A ready sale for a
few, at least, would be found here.
