COL. RAMsoM's DEEP SEA CURIOSITY
Dried Sea Fan From the Isle of Pines
On Exhibition in Window.

Col. Frank Hanson has on exhibit
ton in his window a curiosity to the
majority of North Dakotans who have
not had the pleasure of a trip to the
semi-tropical regions. The curiosity
consists of a dried sea fan with the
base upon which the plant grows.
Not only is it curiosity because it is
seldom seen in this part of the coun-
try, but more so from the fact that
it grows at the bottom of the sea. 1t
was brought to this city by F. w. Tib-
balls, who procured it in the Isle of
Pines while he was there some time
ago. The plant is named from its ap-
pearance to an open fan and the deli
cate vegetable formation is such that
it seems ready to fall to pieces at the
slightest touch. 1t is, however, one
of the strongest of deep sea plants
so far as its fibers are concerned, and
will resist the strongest movements of
the water without injury.

FOOTBALL TEAM PLANS SUPPER
Benefit Supper Will Be Given Thurs.
day Night In kellar's Hall-Boys
Working Hard.

The East Grand Forks football boys
are planning swell supper to be given
Thursday night in Kellar's hall for the
benefit of the team. The boys are in
hopes of raising money to pay for foot
balls and other expenses enough to
carry them through the season.
At the election of officers Walter
Quigley was chosen to captain the
team and from now on the practices
will be held daily. The size of the in
dividual players is somewhat of han
dicap, but the coach hopes to instill
enough ginger and team work into the
men to overcome to some extent the
light weight. Only two boys on the
team are over 100 pounds, so weight
will not be factor this year. Roscoe
Fawcett, who was engaged by the
board to take charge of the team is an
old-timer at the game, having played
against the big teams in the west and
consequently knows every intricacy in
the game.
In the back field Quigley, Wickwire,
Benson, Routley and McIllrath have
been doing the most earnest work but
either of the Zipoy lads may be SWITCH
ed. At center Fogel and Zipoy are
doing good work. Hawley, Sullivan
and Mike Zipoy are holding down the
tackle positions, leaving Bailey and
Lukkason at the guards.
1t is hoped that second team will be
organized. Professor Burnett said to-
day in regard to this matter:
What We want is every boy in
school to learn the game, with about
two exceptions; first. if for physical
reasons he should not play, in which
case we will discover it and prevent
his playing; second, in case parent
is in such destitute circumstances that
the boys services cannot be spared
for about an hour each night after
school-such boy ought to hustle
straight for home"

Watch For Robbers.

The local banks are in receipt of
card from F. H. Holten, secretary of
the Bankers Protective association of
Minneapolis, stating that when the
state bank of Akeley was blown open
$773.5O in silver, $545 in gold and
$1,sl7 in currency was taken. The
bankers are urged to be on the lookout
for suspicious characters.

acre, yet there are some fields where
the crop has not been harvested, 1t
being considered worthless. 1t is this
that knocks the average, for what is
cut is very fair. A farmer near this
city received an average of fifteen
bushels for what he harvested but for
the acres he sowed he got an average
of ten.
1t will be impossible to get the ex-
act average till all of the crop has
been threshed, but the conservatives
do not look for over eleven bushels to
the acre.

being impossible to procure it before
that time from any of The manufac-
mrers.
One Of the conditions Of the ordi-
nances is that all the material must
be on the ground when tle WORK is be
gun, doubtless in order that the work
may not be indefinitely delayed after
the street has been closed to travel.
Hence, 81 days must elapse before
the work can be commenced as brick
can not be had before that time
In the discussion between the board
and attorneys. the latter expressed the
belief that the matter of difference be
tween the bids and the estimates
could be overcome at a public hearing
which under the law would have to
be called anyway. Al this hearing the
proposition to meet the difference
would be submitted TO the property
owners fer their approval. and if It
is SO approved the lowest and best
bid may be accep ed and the contract
let accordingly
II was voted to call a public hearing
on the proposition for next Thursday
