Prof. J. w. Simpson, of the State
University, arrived in Brownsville
yesterday afternoon. While he is
a full professor in the institution
Prof. Simpson does no teaching in
the University, his work being en-
tire1y administrative. He visits
the various public schoolsof Texas,
not soliciting students, but arrang-
ing for their utilization with the uni
versity, suggesting courses of study
which will make their entry more
satisfactory. There now 100 public
schools affiliated, and several hun
bred are applicants at present.
One of the advantages of this aft
1iation is that students may enter
thauniversity without examination.
The university is recognized as one
of the foremost educational institu-
tons of the south, and has an en-
rollment of nearly 1000 pupils.
Prof. Simpson visited our public
school. today, and thinks we have a
bright future from an educational
standpoint. He is also much inn
pressed with this section, and pre-
diets Brownsville will in a few
years be the largest city on the
Texas coast south of Galveston.
He visited Matamoros this after
noon and found many interesting
features in our sister city.

Agriculture is in very crude state

After concluding this interesting

samples of hemp. The middle, or

springing up. Recently an appeal was
made by a Russian princess to Ameri-

thus encourage industry.
Prof. Bolley believes in a great fu-

policy of granting liberty, and his talk
was of especial interest in its con-
trast to much of the present day

The members of the board of control
of the Northern league held meeting
at the Hotel Dacotah yesterday, pur-
suant to an adjournment taken at the
annual meeting held in Duluth on Feb.
4. to hear the report of the circuit
committee, but owing to the lack ,,f
time and the fact that several towns
are anxious to come under the protec-
ton of the league, the committee was
not prepared to submit complete re-
port at this meeting. They are still
corresponding with several promising
towns. and, at the committees sug-
gestion, yesterdays meeting was adj
journed to a later date Ito be named
by the committee) SO that they would
have ample time to report on the adop-
ton Of a circuit that would be to the
best advantage of all concerned.
Financially the league is in very
good condition and from the prospects
in sight-and which the circuit COM
mittee are now figuring on-the North
ern league during the year 1906 will
be stronger than ever. 1t is expected
that the circuit committee will be pre-
pared to report fully about the LIST Of
March. Those present at the meet
ing were: President w. j. Price, ]. NJ.

sTOUeHTON's TROUBLE.
Popular Editor Could Not Change
Length by Sitting and Standing.

Editor Stoughton Of the Valley View
4 has returned from the meeting of the
State Editorial association at st. Paul.
The meeting was good one, the pref
erence' Of business over excursion be-
ing the rule with the pencil pushers
on this side of the river. Mr.. Slough
ton favors going into the woods of
northern Minnesota for three days
session where matters of interest and
importance to the state papers could
be discussed, rather than a weeks ex-
cursion to some pleasure resort. The
papers read by those assigned topics
and the discussions which followed
were of character to establish a high
standard Of journalism in the state,
and best of all it had a tendency to
give the newspaper standing it de-
serves in the business community in
which it is located. Editor Stoughton
was the smallest man in attendance.
The chairman asked him to stand up
while addressing the meeting, and
when Stoughton replied that he was
standing the presiding officer refused
to believe it and ordered him to, sit
down. When his height did not change
by the process, the chairman saw the
point and gave q supper to have the
matter kept quiet.

MAY INSPECT
THE MILK
Possibility Of Lectures Being Delivered
BY Experts Before the Commercial
Club Upon Subject-An Ordinance
for Inspection May Come Up.

There is strong possibility that
lectures will be given before the Com
mercial club of the city upon the SUBJ
ject of milk supply, the dangers of the
spread of the disease through impure
milk and the possible enactment of an
ordinance to do away with it, which
will provide for an inspection by
person versed in the matter.
This has been suggested by q prom
inent member of the Commercial club
and that much good would result is a
foregone conclusion. 1t is the concern
sus of opinion that there is no food
used which is more subject to infec-
ton with disease germs than the milk
we use. Cases are of frequent occur
renee where the cause of disease has
been directly attributed to the milk
used by families and an inspection of
the same, it is advanced, would result
In purer article. Again, the need of
such lectures of an educational nature
in themselves, is felt to keep up the
interest in the club during dull times
and would be profitable in a double
sense. This matter will be taken up
IN the near future and members of the
club are interested in the same.

NEAR LENTEN
SEASON

Society People VIM Rush Things This
Week to Make Way for Lent Which
Begins on Feb. %, One Week From
Wednesday.
The Lenten season is almost with
us again and next week will be the
gayest of the winter. There is always
a large number of social affairs the
last week before the beginning of
Lent and this year the few remain
ing days will be crowded with teas,
dances, card parties and other social
gatherings
Grand Forks people have always OBJ
served Lent and there is every reason
to believe that it will be observed more
strictly than ever before this y,ar.
The Lenten season for the year one
thousand nine hundred and six will
open the last day of February. Lent
begins on Ash Wednesday, and ter
inmates on Easter Sunday, covering a
period of forty days exclusive of Sun
days. Ash Wednesday this year comes
on February 2S, and Easter Sunday
falls on April Is. The first Sunday
in Lent will be the 4th of March.
Palm Sunday will be the 9Th Of April,
and Good Friday, one ofsthe most inn
portant occasions falling in Lent, will
be the 18th of April.

WITHOUT A CHAIRMAN.
Commercial Club Members Must Meel
Soon to Provide for EMERGENCIES.

In view of the prospective absence
OF President Lander of the Commercial
club and the fact that President Rob
ertson is east on an important mission
as well as the absence of MIR. Nash
Secretary Don Moore has been busy
in an effort to secure a quorum of the
Commercial club directors in order
that they may name chairman to act
during their absence. Thus far an
effort to get eight of the directors to-
gether has failed but a chairman will
be selected in the near future. While
there is nothing of immediate import
ance to take up the attention of the
club, President Lander is anxious to
see things left in shape for an emer-
gency and to keep the interest. in the
organization up. The Commercial club
has been an important factor in Sc
curing for Grand Forks much desired
improvements and it is the hope of the
business men generally that the same
will be continued.

ELEVATED RAILWAY
WILL SOLVE THE
QUESTION
Directors Of Grand Forks Tran
sit Company Considering
Plan.

The directors of the Grand Forks
Transit company may consider the
building of an elevated track for their
street car line between here and the
university. The snow blocks the pres
entent track so constantly and the
expense of keeping the track clear,
owing to the Typographical conditions
In such, that it seems that almost any
scheme which will overcome this will
be acceptable.
DR.. A. A. Bruce, dean of the law
school, has made the suggestion that
an elevated track should be built. The
present track is too light and will have
to be re-railed and graded in any
event. An elevated track, on trustee
work, some fifteen feet from the
ground would do away with all snow
blockades. The expense would not be
very great and in the long run It is
probable that the work would mean
a saving to the company. The scheme
will be given careful consideration.

Company Ready for

Henry Prentiss, Jr., with the De-
Forest wireless telegraphy people is
IN the city today. He arrived here
from Grafton yesterday and is look
ing up the prospects Of the establish
& ment OF 9 station here, or rather he
is educating people to belief in his
system preparatory to locating a
station here, as it has already been,
determined upon where the stations
vii be located. Arrangements have
been made with the following towns
and stations will be installed within
one hundred days and in working or
der: Fargo, Grand Forks, Devils
Lake, MinOt, Dickinson, Mandan, Bis
marck, jamestown, Valley City, Graf

The Grand Forks station will be
ready for business in from seventy
five to one hundred days. The stations
vii consist Of steel tower, or rather
pole, resembling Flagstaff with a
network of wires. 1t is located at the
rear OF the Office and messages are
received and sent by means Of the
Morse code. The company is already
established in many portions of the
United States and their system works
regardless of weather or electrical dis
turbances. The local stations have
towers from 100 to $50 feet high and
send messages from 200 to 500. miles.
They have already cut 40 per cent
from the tolls charged by telegraph
and telephone companies. The com
pany also has patents on telephone
which works without wires. and can

shortly be on the market.
How 1t Works.
A brief explanation of the principle
OF wireless telegraphy will not come

mating current of about 10000 volts
is taken from an ordinary generator
at local power house and put through
huge condensers. To what immense
voltage the already high pressure it
brought cannot be accurately meas
ured, but it easily reaches the 200, 900
volt mark. This enormous, electric
current is then made to jump a gap
Of say an inch and a half; being an
alternate current. it jumps back and
forth as long as the key is held down,
making vibrations like the buzzing of

OF 10000 miles second, or about
the speed of light.
BY the manipulation of an ordinary
telegraph key 1t can be seen that the
circuit can be made and broken, just

were chained together, and with Frank
Brown bearing the attached ball they
presented very ludicrous appearance
as they marched through the city.

The potato question the coming
spring is one that Is of more than
passing interest to the farmer as we'll
as to the people of the city who are
constant purchasers. Potatoes are re-
failing in Grand Forks from So to 80
cents and while the retailers are of the
opinion that they will not go much
higher because the pits will soon be
opened, other authorities, including
farmers who have watched the mar
ket closely are of the opinion that
they will be much higher later in the
spring for the reason that fewer were
pitted and a larger number of farmers
than ever before, will be purchasers
of seed themselves. AS matter of
fact, many of the farmers have been
buying potatoes for their own use all
winter
For good seed potatoes, it is stated
on good authority, that from s125 to
$3.50 will be demanded. as practically
all the seed potatoes will have to be
shipped in from the east Recent eff
forts to secure potatoes from Montana
have been futile and it very safe to
predict that good seed will demand the
