Landlord Wells Believes in Booming.
Landlord Wells, of the Northern ho-
tel complimented The Evening Times
OF the efficient manner in which it is
booming the industries and opportun-
tiles of Grand Forks. Mr. Wells said
to The Evening Times last evening: Il
am very much pleased with the lib
eral manner in which The Evening
Times is standing for the advancement
of Grand Forks. l am not news
paper man but | believe it is good
policy for newspaper to constantly
boom the town and the territory on
which it must depend for support.
Grand Forks is the coming town of
the state. 1t has the best territory
to be found in the west at it's very
doors. Its opportunities are apparent
now and will become more so as the
country develops. We will wake up
some morning and find ourselves in
city. Too much cannot be said of
the city of Grand Forks and the great
opportunities it offers for the invest
ment of money, enterprise and brains.
This drainage convention and such
things are not sufficiently advertised
by the papers of Grand Forks. BY
constantly keeping them before their
readers, a success can be made where
failure would otherwise be inevitable.
l am not finding fault with the news
papers but perhaps they do not real
lie just how important a part they
play in such affairs.

Churchs Ferry Wants Hospital.

Inc friendly rivalry between
Churchs Ferry, Bottineau and Rugby
over the location of the new hospital
of, the United Lutheran church of the
Sheyenne district, still goes on. Each
place has offered cash inducements,
Churchs Ferry heading the list with
an offer Of 100000, and Rugby coming
in a good second with $4,000. while
Bottineau is ready with something like
$1,000. The latter place, however, is
under great disadvantage because of
it's location on branch line, else it
might give its rivals warm race.
The towns on the st. John branch of
the Great Northern are helping
Churchs Ferry, as this would make it
convenient for them. The hospital
outside the town donation, will be
built and conducted by the church of
the Sheyenne district, which extends
from Larimore to Minot and from the
Canadian line to the main line of the

GRAFTON being the insurance policy for
$4,000 upon the life of Thomas Hen
