GRAND FORKS HOTELS.

Yesterday Grand Forks entertained
three gatherings each of which
drought together large number of
people. The city was full to over
flowing and yet no one went without
the comfort of hotel
This proves that Grand Forks is
now the best provided with hotels of
any city in the state
In this age Of rush and travel,
hotels have come to play a large part
in the life of a city. Business is
largely done on the wing, so to speak.
The tavern of half a century ago
where one room accommodated all
the travellers, and where the evenings
we're spent in telling stories that in
many particulars rivaled those re-
corded by Chaucer, have gone the way
Of the stage coach.
The hotel has become largely the
home Of vast army of people
Men making business connections
in cities will consider we'll whether
or not they can find comfortable
homes when called there on business.
If they can. other things being
equal, that city will have a preference
over one not having these modern
necessities.
1t is therefore of prime Importance
that when a city goes out after the
Business Of its contributary territory
that it be able to give the very best
hotel accommodations to those who
will be brought to it.
II This is the foundation of the COM
mercial success of a city. It must
exist before the business is sought,
elise the seeking Of the business will
come to naught.
Grand Forks is going out after the
husiness Of q large slice Of the north
vest. It proposes e bring business

TWO GREAT CLASSES.

One of the greatest drawbacks to
good farming in the Dakotas today is
the fact that many. and some of the
most intelligent farmers we have. do
not seem to appreciate the fact that
there are two great classes of crops,
says the Dakota Farmer. One class,
such as flax, wheat and most other
small grains, feed almost exclusively
on the surface soils, and bring little
or nothing from the air or subsoils
either to themselves or to the surface
soils. They are simply eXhausters.
The other class, such as corn, clover.
alfalfa, etc, are great air and subsoil
feeders. particularly the latter two,
and get much of their sustenance from
sources the small grain and flax grow
err never uses. They are restorers of
soil fertility and moisture. Not only
are they this, but they enrich the land
by going back into it, and compel in
their economical growth and consump-
ton. the keeping of stock and the
cleaning of the land. 1t is to their
first and all important office, however,
to which we wish principally to refer
now.
This being the case, it is easy to
see that the man who confines his
farming to producing largely or only
the soil exhausters, is bound to go
wrong in the end, while the one who
intelligently combines the two, can
build up his soils richness and produc-
ing capacity and still create heavy
Yields.
Good farming must combine these
two great classes of crops and the
more intelligently the combining and
rotating can be done, the more sue
cessful and surely successful will he
be.

GENERAL CHAFFEE
RETIRED FROM.
SERVICE
tcnntinued from page l.,

was brevetted for gallantry at the bat
ties of Gettysburg aud Dinwiddie Court
House. Following the civil war he
was engaged much of the time in cam
paigns against the hostile Indians on
the frontier. He was with General Nc
Cook in the Department of Arizona,
as inspector general, and then was
sent to Fort Leayenworth as instruc-
tor in tactics. At the breaking out Of
hostilities with Spain he was instruc-
tor in the school of cavalry and In
fantry tactics at Fort Riley, Kan.
During the Spanish war he served
first as brigadier-general and later
as major general of volunteers. At
Ell Caney, General Chaffee having been
given command of brigade, the fight
was opened by him, and his men bore
the brunt of it throughout the day.
Chaffee's conduct was magnificent
and excited the admiration of the en-
tire army. To his brilliant leadership,
in fact, the signal victory of the day
was chiefly due, but no one could ever
get Chaffee to open his mouth about it.
General Chaffees force moved ON
the heights occupied by the Spaniards
at an early hour in the morning, en-
countering a heavy fire from the.
enemy and suffering severely, but It;
did not finch, and carried the summit.
with a hearty cheer. An eyewitness
of the struggle said when the fight
was the hottest, General Chaffee DASH
ed about at the head Of the column
with his hat on the back of his head
urging on his men-who were willing
enough for all that and needed no en-
couragement-crying to them "get in
and help their country win victory"
The men were right behind him and
the victory was won.
At the time of the Boxer troubles
General Chaffee led the American
forces In China. He made a favorable
showing in comparison with the best
soldiers of the great armies repre-
scented there. Subsequently he was
given command in the Philippines,
from which command he was detached
to become chief of staff. -
A model soldier in the field, with a
true soldierly way of doing things
General Chaffee was always the Idol
of his men. 1t has often been said thar
one of his favorite commands, when in
hot chase after Indians used to be-

that's killed I'll make a corporal"

Detective Skinner Reaches
Minot With Prisoners From
Portal Raid-Gambling Out
fits Valued at $500 Taken.
Reaches

Especial TO The Evening Times.]
Minot, Feb. 1.--Mr. John F. Skinner,
the detective employed by the State
Enforcement league arrived in Minot
Wednesday with eleven prisoners arr
rested at Portal. Mr.. Skinner claims
that this is the largest and most i'm
portant raid ever made in Ward
county and one which was effected
with the very greatest difficulty. Por-
tai is near the Canadian line and the
gamblers, piggers and keepers and
inmates of the houses of ill-fame have
generally been able to get out of the
way of the authorities by jumping
the boarder as soon as trouble was
scented, and there remaining until
there was clear coast on Uncle
Sans side of the line. The Portal
law breakers are numerous and
desperate lot. When an attempt was
made several months ago to arrest
some of the ringleaders, Wallace
George, deputy sheriff, came near pay
ing his life for the privilege of ar
resting some members of this same
gang which Skinner piloted into
Mfnot. The arrest of these eleven,
prisoners is the most difficult task
Mr. Skinner has ever performed. He
has been working on it for weeks
employing three or four foxes" He
had his plans for the raid figured out
like game of checkers and caught
all hands with the goods on" With
his prisoners, Mr.. Skinner brought
pillow case filled with chips and
twenty-four cases of beer and
rolette table valued ut $500.
The prisoners declare that they will
all plead guilty when arraigned be-
fore Judge Goss. The Judge is now
in Bottineau county.
A few weeks ago some piggers in
this city made an attempt to murder
Skinner and he was confined in the
county hospital several days as re-
suit of the encounter. He has re-
Gently received several letters threat
ening him with death if he does not
let up, but threats and danger seem
to spurn him on and still undaunted

The Evening Times representative
that he did not value his life at 10
cents and that the next time an at
tempt is made on his life he willIstrew
the street with corpses. 1t looks as
though he may have an opportunity
to carry out his threat and he proba-
bly, will do it, if sufficient cause ap-
pears, for he is known as one of the
nerviest men in his calling.
Those arrested for gambling were
Bert Percy, owner. of pool room and
gambling hall; Jack Rombough, John

man, caught gambling.
Prostitution prisoners: Mr.. and
Mrs. J. c. Daniels, proprietors of

NOTE AND COMMENT

Many stories tina, Lincoln never
heard will be told at his birthday
gatherings.
One of the evidences of our loss OF
taste in art is our preference for the
scrawney women of the Gibson type
instead of the Venuses of old.
Many married men don't listen to
reason because they do not have the
chance
Most mothers would overlook the
faults of their daughter-in-law if the
girls brother would give the young
man bank position with no work and
good pay.
a Maine man who tried to commit
suicide and failed is being nursed back
to life by the state SO that it can hang
him.
Many people are bulls about their
own property and bears about the
merits of others.
Many women feel insulted when a
man watches them cross a muddy
street when they do not have their
best hose on. ......
When unplaced confidence is found
it is usually worthless
The kenmare girl who stole $50 has
gotten more newspaper notices than
the Minot man who cleaned out a bank.
Murphy's is another case of not
knowing the thing was loaded
The Ashley murderer saved the state
considerable trouble by freezing to
death.
Having fools for friends is worse
than having no friends at all

verse with the more f1uaut ba boco,noc

It will be understood that all alco-
