SEED TRAIN AT LANGDoN.
Greeted by Large and Enthusiastic
Crowd Which Listened Attentfyely.

Special to The Evening Times.
The seed train corps was greeted at
Langdon by large crowd of farmers
and citizens. The meeting was open
ed by Prof. Kaufman and Prof. Sheps
pard gave the first address, taking for
his subject the Importance of seed
selection. Some very valuable point
ers, based on practical and scientific
principles, were given in way that
was convincing.
Profs. Churchill, Shaw and Litch-
ard followed with fine addresses on
different subjects pertaining to seed
selection, cultivation of the soil and
elements of success. Max Bass, i'm
migration agent of the Great North
ern, gave pointed talk on the i'm
portance of remaining loyal to the in
dustrial advantages of North Dakota.
He reviewed his early experiences in
connection with inducing people to
come to this state. When he first went
east to persuade people to come to
this state the people were afraid that
his breath would freeze them stiff.
Rapid changes have taken place in the
last few years, both in agricultural
conditions and in patriotic sentiment.
He deplored the idea of securing 100
acres of good land from Uncle Sam
and then go straight over to King Ed
wards domain and speculate in Cana
dian soil. Great numbers of people
who have taken land in this state are
going across the line to do some more
specializing in real estate. They are
not aware of the fact that they have
got to become British subjects after
they have taken up the land. Old
Glory no longer has charms for the
versatile speculator. Max Bass is a
man who don't mince words. He has a
strong German accent but talks the
very best English. That is, he talks
right from the shoulder. He is GER
tainly an American patriot. Prof.
Litchard gave fine address on the
elements of success. A notable fea-
ture of the meeting was the number
of farmers who used note books to
take down the ideas given by the
professor.

A TELEPHONE
BLOCK
Great Northern Will Have New System
in Working Order by April lit is
Very Simple and Can Be Operated
BY Anyone Who Can Use a Phone.

1t is expected that the new block
signal system between Larimore and
Minot on the Great Northern will be
in working order by April /. 1t is
very simple affair, although it will
greatly facilitate matters in the hand
ling of trains. There are three differ
ent systems in operation in the United
States, the electric automatic, the tele-
graphic and the telephone. The tele-
phone system is the simplest and most
easily operated. AS soon as a train
enters block, one of the trainmen
phones to the next station, the end f
the block. and has the signals set
against any train entering the block
opposing him. He, of course, sets his
own signal so that no train will fol-
low until he leaves the block.
The Great Northern is busy install
ling the telephone lines over the terri
tory to be covered and the other equip
ment necessary to the operation of
tn system.

PETITION FILED BY
CANDIDATES FOR
OFFICES
In the City of Grand Forks
Is the Last Day for Filing
Two Make Choice.

Today is the last day on which the
petitions of independent candidates
can be filed for city offices. There is a
good number Of petitions in the hands
of City Auditor Brown. There is one
peculiar thing about the present situa-
ton, two have declined to allow their
names to appear on the official ballot.
They are A. l.. McCallum, nominated
on the democratic ticket for alderman
from the Fourth ward, and Robert Nc
Coy, nominated on the republican
ticket from the First ward. They
have notified the city auditor in writ
ing to withdraw their names.
In the event of name being ON
two tickets, the candidate will have
choice of tickets and if he fails to
make choice, it is probable that City
Auditor Brown will be compelled to
select a ticket for him, that official
being of the opinion that a candidate
cannot be on two tickets.
The petitions filed up to a late hour
this afternoon are as follows:
Mayor-George E. Duis.
Police Magistrate-M. Reilly.
City Justice-R. J. Purcell.
City Treasurer-B. r. Brockoff.

NO SPECIAL TRAINS.
FOR CARRYING
THE MAIL
Not J Enough il Mail Contracts
to Warrant II subordin- (.
ate to Passenger Service.

There ,is little chance of any new
trains being installed between st. Paul
and the coast at the present time, ac-
cording to Superintendent Nicholson
OF the Dakota division Of the Great
Northern.
1t is the regular spring gossip
among the railroad men, new trains
and faster service. When the rush Of
immigration begins toward the north
west, there is talk without end of more
trains to take care Of the traffic which
loads everything to the roof. So far
this spring there has not been an Off
cfal hint Of another through train nor
of any change In the train service or
the time tables.
The mail service is always subor-
dinate to the passenger service. There
is not enough in the contracts of the
United States to warrant the running
Of special train for 1890 miles.
There is little probability of any
change in the train service of the
Great Northern at the present time.

JOHN DINNIE

Requests His Friends, Not to Bet ON
His Election Believes That the
Tendency to Gamble on Elections
Has Been Carried to Extremes Here.

3. Ct y
There has been much discussion ON
the street relative to the lack of bet
ting on the result Of the approaching
city election. The cause is not far to
seek; John Dinnie has requested his
friends to refrain from making cleo
ton bets, in fact he has insisted on
the withdrawal of several bets which
have been made.
Mr.. Dinnie,s attitude is one which
will be appreciated by the people Of
Grand Forks. While he is not posing
as being better than the average can
didate for Office. the bitter political
fights which have taken place in Grand
Forks from time to time. have resulted
in much betting, each side feeling THAT
they must take all bets. This has be-
come positive evil and has resulted
In bets being made by men who could
Ill afford to lose
To put an end to this nuisance Mr..
Dinnie has chosen to take the jeers
