SENIOR BOYS WIN
THE DEBATE THIS
AFTERNOON
Judges Decide By a Vote of
Two to One to Abolish
Capital Punishment.

This afternoon at 2:3O o'clock at
the high school assembly room at the
Central school, occurred the much
talked of debate between the girls
and the boys of the senior class. It
was holly contested and was of great
interest. The boys and girls showed
a thorough knowledge of the question
unuer DEBATE and proved themselves
ready debaters.
1t is but one of a series of debates
being held by the high school from
time to time. While there will be no
reward offered for the best debating
team, there is a gold medal coming at
commencement time for the best de-
batter and the best debater will be
found by these series of forensic con-
tests. 1t is the plan of the faculty
to develop the very best there is in
their pupils along the lines of de-
batting and careful attention is being
paid to these debates.
The attendance this afternoon was
limited only by the seating capacity
OF the assembling,room. The subject
of debate was: Resolved, That cor
poral punishment should be abolished.
Af1irmative-James Matthie, Vernon
Finley, James Kennedy; negative-Miss
Jennie Wood, Miss Gertrude Skinner,
Miss Bessie Hanson.
The judges, Mrs. A. S. Burrows, O.
T. Ward and Rev. Frank E. r. Miller,
for the affirmative by two to one.

Musicians in Politics.

Fargo Forum Local musicians will
take Il hand in the Forthcoming mu-
nicipal campaign. AS soon as all of
the candidates for the different offices
are in the field, the musisians and
music lovers will throw their strength
for those who favor an appropriation
by the city for Sunday concerts in the
lark. Different plans to provide
means to give weekly band concerts
in the park have been suggested from
time to time but not one has been sue
cessful. The musicians are now con-
WINGED that only by receiving an APP
preparation from the city council can
the plan be successfully carried out.
Therefore the musicians propose to
get into the political game and secure
Pledges from the candidates for alder
men, who will be supported.

DUNBAR |S.OFFERED.
PRINCIPALS SHIP
OF SCHOOL
At Park River Efficiency Of
Popular Educator Recog-
nized Abroad. J

East siders will be surprised to
learn that Prof. Dunbar has been Of
fered the principalship of the city
schools at Park River, N. D., and s
considering seriously the question Ct
accepting. There are many delicate
questions to adjust in the matter. and
he has made no definite contract until
he can consult the local school board.
1t is recognized as promotion, how
ever, and unfortunately a better salary
is available than the schools here can
offer. But his strong and aggressive
work in the schools of this city makes
his severance of his relationship with
the public schools matter of regret.
But all parties interested realize that
fairness both to the schools and to
Prof. Dunbar personally should control
the matter and both are seeking
solution of the problem that will do
both.

Death Bed Repentance.

There seems to be a general mani
festation of surprise among the resi-
dents of Grand Forks that the city
officials have at last begun to flush the
sewers. The Evening Times reporter
learns on good medical authority that
much of the sickness prevalent in the
city during the past few months has
been attributed directly to the unsani-
tary condition of the sewers. The good
people of Grand Forks had about ar
rived at the conclusion that this
rotoriously manifest evil would not be
remedied under the present admins
tration-which is evidently out to
make Il record for noncompliance the
surprise at this time.

North Dakota Baby Carriage.

States Attorney J. B. Wineman
bought the antiquated iron truck
which was used for years in the United
States land Office here in wheeling
the heavy books to and from the vault.
1t is a peculiar looking relic and Mr..
Wineman's friends wondered why he
got it. The truth has leaked out. 1t
was to be used as present to Mrs.
Longworth, provided Mr.. Wineman
was invited to the wedding as a sam
lle of a North Dakota baby carriage
but the invitation did not come and he
has the carriage.

A FLATTERING
OFFER
Attorney Bronson Receives Invitation
to Take Charge Of the Plating and
Laying Out Of a Large Town in
Arizona.

Attorney H. A. Bronson has received
a hAttering offer from the Warren
Realty G Investment company of Arl.
iona to come to that state and take
charge of the work of laying out, plat
ting and abstracting one of the large
towns in that state. The offer is the
more complimentary because of the
way 1t comes. A prominent Colorado
attorney. who makes such things his
specially, was partially engaged for
the work, but the manager of the con-
Germ happened upon a copy of the
splendid legal text prepared by Mr..
Bronson on municipal corporations
and was SO much impressed with it's
merits that he at once wrote to the
author stating that he was just the
man'they wanted, that he had learned
of him through his book and asking
him to state how much of his time
could be secured. Mr.. Bronson has the
matter under consideration.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
CLUB HERE
Plans Being Considered by Prominent
Men Of This City for the same-It
Would be Of Great Benefit to East
Grand Forks.

DR.. Kirk and number of friends are
considering a plan for organizing
commercial club. Several new build
ings are being planned for the city
and the idea is to get in on the ground
floor for "a room, as this has always
been one of the PRINCIPAL obstacles in
the way of club. There are about
seventy-five merchants in the city and
probably two-thirds if not all of them
would at once become members, and
if an initiation fee of $40 were charged,
neat sum would at once be available
for the purposes of the club. The
scope would be large enough to in
clude assistance in all public improve
ments and much attention would be
given to the securing of additional en-
terprises. The people of the city are
very much interested in the scheme
and once 1t is started the public spirit
of the people will make it go.

Forbes Would Incorporate.

Glendale Records: A meeting of
the county board was held yesterday
for the purpose of hearing a petition
from the. residents of the town, of
Forbes asking for incorporation as
village and that date be fixed on
which the voters of the town could
ballot on the question. The petition
was granted by the board and Tues
day. February q, was fixed as the
date on which the vote will be taken.
A village government is badly needed
in Forbes, and the prompt action of
the county board will be appreciated
by the people there.

Creditable Performance.

The light opera "Piff, Paff, Pouff"
was played here at the Metropolitan
theatre last evening to- a crowded
house. The opera is quite up to the
standard in costuming and staging and
the majority of the acting was first
class. but there was a noticeable lack
of good voices. The choruses were ex-
cellent and we'll trained but there was
hardly first class soloist in the cast.
Taking it as whole though, it was
quite a creditable performance and
most of the ladies were exceedingly
good looking and daintily gowned.

MORETROUBLE
AT MINOT

County Commissioners Relative to
That Now Famous Des Lac Bridge
They Have Obstructed the Stream.
There is yet more trouble in store
for the Ward county commissioners
at Minot. The bridge over Des Lac
lake which has already been instru-
mental in causing two men to be
ousted from Office for malfeasance and
was the cause of a mandamus suit
against the county auditors, is now
the subject of investigation on the
part of the United States government.
DR.. ]. A. Fawcett Of this city owns
a Line OF elevators on Des Lac lake
and uses the lake for the purpose of
transportation, owning line of steam
ers. The lake is nayigable water and
the commissioners went ahead and
built bridge without the consent of
the United States government. DR..
Fawcett complained and the chief of
the United States engineering corps,
N. F. Hodges writes that he knows
nothing of such bridge and it is
clearly unlawful and must be taken
up 1t 1t obstructs navigation.
DR.. Fawcett instructed one of his
agents to drive to the bridge and see
what sort Of drawbridge is being
planned since the trouble was started
himself. He reports the county is
putting in a 56-foot drawbridge which
Will be satisfactory to the doctor IL It
is proper draw and proper APP
proaches are made to 1t. However, it
is another matter how the United
States will look at the matter. It is
possible that they will make trouble
about the bridge which Is a mile long
and not to exceed eight feet above the
water. la
