cities the size of Grand Forks.
Grand Forks has two fire precincts
with two halls. One of these is To-
Gated in the south end Of the city
while the new hall is on the north
side. This arrangement does away
with all delays occasioned by passing
trains blockading streets and elevates
the efficiency of the department to a
much higher plane. When call from
the business districts is registered
the equipment from both halls is on
the scene Immediately. This equip
ment consists of Il new engine of i'm
proved type, one of the largest en-
Sines in the west and equal in every
respect to those in Minneapolis and
St. Paul The cost of this piece of
equipment was something like $4,000.
Recently large chemical wagon was
added. Several hose trucks and hook
and ladder wagons complete the list.
The department has paid list of al
most a score.
The new fire hall in the north pre-
cinct was erected a year ago at a
cost of $4,000 and is very creditable
editice for this city. 1t is two stories

incident of the chiefs watchfulness

posted men in the northwest. One
incident of the chiefs watchfulness
came up short time ago. Three men
were taken in custody one evening
as they stepped from northbound
train. One of the specials" on the
train had spotted the men for bad
actors" and their arrest on disor-
derby charge was next in order. They
We're taken before the chief in the
city hall and subjected to Il severe
cross-examination. After catching the
men in several ways the chief fin
ally wrung confession from them
to the effect that they had ritled a
pocketbook in a hotel in Hamilton,
N. ID. Chief Lowe Immediately called
up the proprietor of the hotel. told
who he was and asked the surprised
hotel keeper if he did not have a
pocket book in a certain drawer in a
certain room of the hotel. The pro-
prietor answered eyes" The chief
then told him how much was kept in
the purse and finally asked him to
so and see if it was still there. The
hotel man eXcitedly returned to the
phone with the word that the money
was stolen. This is but one every
day incident of the police routine but
it serves to show that the force is al
ways on the watch and ever ready for
the bad men of the prairies.
The other members of the police
force are Captain John Sullivan. an
other veteran on the force. W. ].
Doty, Donald Blue, James Coan.
Joseph Benson. A. P. Halvorson. John
Tracey and Andrew Sullivan.
In the history Of the city there has
never been single instance of in
efficiency on the part of the police
force. Many public meetings are held
every year, many fairs and large
gatherings convened in the city and
still but very few robberies are re-
ported and in about 80 per cent of
these instances the guilty parties
have been apprehended and placed
under lock and key.
Fire Department.
Somewhat larger in numbers and
fully as efficient as the police depart
ment is the Grand Forks fire depart
ment. In point of equipment the de-
partment in this city is recognized
over the entire northwest as the most
costly and very best that can be Sc
cured. The fire losses in the city
within the past four years have been
almost nothing when compared with
the losses in other large cities. Not a
single instance of the loss of large
building has occurred during this
time and this fact alone stamps the
department as a credit to the state.

full eyes every detail is surveyed is

written especially for the Anniversary
number Of the Evening Times by Mr..
Rae.
Following Is a brief biographical
sketch of MIR. Rae, accompanied by n
half-tone sketch from recent photo-
graph.
Born in Eaton county, Michigan.
1873; educated in district schools and
at the Central Normal School, Mt.
Pleasant. Mich. Married in 1894, is a
teacher by profession; inherited lit
erary talent from his father. He has
very thorough knowledge of English
and American literature, which ia
primarily due to the nomadic habits
OF his teacher-father and through his
frequent moving from place to place,
he became a pupil in no less than thir-
teen different schools before complet-
ing the eighth grade and was neces-
sarily brought into contact with a
great many series of text hooks, es-
pecially readers through which he be-
came familiar with literature and it
Is said of him there is scarcely a
worthy poem in the English language
from which he cannot quote, and of
which he cannot give the name of the
author. He is also familiar with
German literature and has translat-
ed number of the German MASTER
pieces into English (see translations
in Poems from Desk, etc. His fav-
orite authors are Burns and Byron.
Mr.. Raze is the author of two volumes
of poems, Poems of Peace and Pieces
of War;" 1903-and Poems from Desk
and Doorstep" 1906. He is also a
contributor to Michigan Poets and

Publishing company, Leslie, Mich. A
number of his poems have been hon
ored with places in other volumes;

CRIMINALS STEER CLEAR

In her efficient police service Grand
Forks has the lead on every city of
similar population in the northwest.
The police department of the city has
always been up to the highest posi-
BILE standards and under the regime
of the present head, ]. w. Lowe. it
has reached the very zenith of good
management and efficiency On &C
count of the versatility and watch
fulness the criminal class steers very
shy of the metropolis of the state and
during the past summer and fall the
number of arrests and complaints has
been much under the average for sew
eral years. Thus it seems the reputa
ton of the Grand Forks police force
has been passed along the line and
chalk mark placed after the name on
the hobo's vocabulary.
The department is composed of a
chief, police captain and seven
patrolmen during this season of the
year. In summer and in busy sea-
sons this number is greatly increased
by adding specials to the force. An
officer is always at the desk at the
city police station and call from
any portion of the city results in an
officer arriving on the scene of
violence within very short space of
time. The police station is located
on North Third street almost in the
heart of the city. Plans are now be-
ing drawn up for a large new struc-
ture to be placed at the disposal of
the force. The present chief of police
is ]. w. Lowe. Chief Lowe is an old
timer at the business of ferreting out
criminals and unearthing long forgot
ten crimes. He has served In every
capacity on the force and is undoubt-
eddy one of the most thoroughly

RECEIVE BOXING GAME.
Local Followers OF the Fi>tic Art are
Planning On an Organization for
Winter Months.

Winter Months.
Plans are being worked out among
the athetically inclined of the city for
the organization OF boxing and
wrestling club. the membership to in
clude Il sufficient number to keep
things 'humming" during the coming
winter. At the present time although
the city enjoys the privileges of Il first
class and we'll equipped Y. NJ. c. \.
forded for those who desire instruc-
ton or work of any kind in the arts
OF boxing and wrestling. There is a
room at the Y. NJ c. \. gymnasium
which could be utilized in such work
and there are several old-timers in
the city who could be secured as in
structors.
Boxing and wrestling are not given
much thought or attention in the ath-
letic course at the Y. NJ. c. A. The
reason for this seems to be that there
has never been any agitation for that
class of instruction, at any rate, with
out a competent teacher, no benefits
could accrue from such work.
If the present plans work out salts
factorily, the club will be formed with
membership of perhaps twenty, and
wrestling mats and boxing gloves will
be purchased and presented to the Y.
NJ. c. A. as part Of the gymnasium
equipment. Then a room will be Sc
cured in the building and regular
schedule of work mapped out. In this
way much benefit could be derived
from good practical instruction and
from the training received.

Edinburg is located in the north
western part of Walsh county on the
Great Northern railway and is wide
awake, progressive little town of
about 425 inhabitants. It is one of
the older towns in that part of the
state and its growth and development
has been gradual. There have been
no booms and no periods of depres-

Edinburg makes it the logical trade
center of western Walsh county,
