TOOK A sIEsTA.'
West Siders Enjoy Nap in the Shade
Their Chattels Take Flight.

Sunday was desperately hot day
and shady dells Of the east side river
banks as we'll as other things, at
tracted the attention of many of our
west side brothers. Two well known
young men from across the Ruby
sought out quiet nook and divesting
themselves of coats and hats. lolled
in the cooling shade in peace and COM
fort while they watched the limped
waters of the Ruby splash murky
wavelets upon our peaceful shores.
What their dreams were Of and Of how
long duration, no one knows but their
awakening was harsh reminded that
they were not soaring among the
clouds In a land where "schooners" are
free and the atmosphere just right, but
were in Minnesota and incidentally
q trlfle short of wearing apparel and
personal effects Of considerable value.
Some miscreant had appropriated
the hat, coat and watch of one Of We
disciples Of Mr.. Rip Van Wrinkle while
the watch and good sized roll of the
other had changed ownership while
the dreamers dreamed Of home and
mother.
The west side pilgrims were too
ashamed to Squeal so made their way
homeward via the viaduct route but
the story has leaked out Who were
the dreamers-impossible. quite go, to
give up.

GREAT NORTHERN
IS RUSHED WITH
BUSINESS
A Heavy Rush of Stock and
Grain to Eastern Markets
Coming on Soon.

The Great Northern Is just at pres
ent handling the greatest amount of
freight that 1t has handled for several
years at this season of the year over
the Dakota division through Grand
Forks. In about two weeks, when the
grain trade starts. an enormous traf-
fic and blockade of cars will undoubt-
eddy result. unless there is change
from conditions which usually obtain
at this time of the year.
This year the G. N. Is spending q
large amount of money In improving
Its roadbed. and several crews are at
work at different points along the line.
A new cutoff Is being constructed be-
tween this city and Schurmeier which
Will soon be opened for traffic. This
new cutoff leaves the main line near
Grand Forks junction and rejoins the
north line near Schumacher about six
miles distant. All along the main line
grades are being reduced, curves
shortened and trestles repaired, be-
sides considerable double tracking
being done west of the city. The task
OF double-tracking has been held back
for several weeks, owing to court liti-
cations which is expected to be settled
sometime this week. The campaign of
improvement mapped out, however,
will require the most vigorous action
to effect it's conclusion before winter
sets in.
The Great Northern traffic depart
ment this fall anticipates one of the
heaviest stock rushes in years. Con-
ditions on the western ranges along
the line of the Great Northern have
not been better in years. There has
been plenty of grass and range cattle
will be ready for the market this year
two weeks earlier than usual. Market
conditions affecting fat cattle have
not been particularly favorable during
the summer but stockmen expect
reaction, which is already apparent in
advances in prices all along the line.
On an average of five trains a
week of fat cattle are now being
handled to the Twin city and Chicago
markets over the Great Northern
Empty stable cars are being rushed
to western shipping points and are
being handled on the regular freight
runs. Before the stock rush is fairly
concluded the wheat rush will be on
and 1t is expected that more train
crews will be in service out of Grand
Forks this season than for several
years.

DECISION GIVEN.
Judge Fisk Hands Down Opinion In
Walhalla Contest CAGES.


Walhalla Contest CAGES.
Judge Fisk has handed down a de-
cision in the Walhalla contest cases,
which were argued the latter part of
July. The cases were tried at Wal
halla on May II.
George McConnachie contested the
election of Peter Fox as justice of the
peace. They each received So votes
and McConnachie claimed that there
were illegal votes cast for his OPP
ponent.
Edmund Harvey contested the elec-
ton, of Alexander McFadden as city
marshal. The returns showed that
Harvey received 62 votes. Harvey
claimed illegal votes enough were cast
for McFadden to elect himself
Robert Cunningham contested the
election of William McMurray as vii
lage treasurer. Both received So
votes each and Cunningham charged
that, illegal votes were cast for Nc
Murray to an extent that would insure
his own election.
Judge Fisk held that Alexander Nc
Fadden had been legally elected city
marshall, but that George Nc Con-
nachie was entitled to the position of
justice of the peace. and that Robert
Cunningham had been elected, city
treasurer.
Owing to the absence Of Treasurer
J. R. Poupore from the city on the
Commercial club excursion there Is
considerable speculation whether or
not Deputy Treasurer Evanson Is en-
titled to a vote In case Of a tie. II
he is not and tie vote results. the
appointment will be held up for the
week, or until the excursion returns.
