amount Of clothing, some coal, wood
and provisions have been contributed
to the society. At Christmas time
about 60 dinners to as many families
were sent out, the material for these
dinners was given largely by several
OF the Sunday schools of the city and
individuals interested in this part of
the work. We have on our books
over 80 families that have been helped
over the hard places during the past
winter, of this number only about
20 per cent have received aid the
three winters preceding, and in each
of these cases there was found good
reason for their still needing aid. This
we feel Is very encouraging as 1t
goes to show that they are trying to
help themselves, and in many cases
we find that the period in which they
need aid is when the children are
young and unable to help In con-
clusion we feel that more work and
better work has been done than ever
before. There has been more visitation
and we have tried to come in closer
contact, and to know their needs and
wants better. Employment of various
kinds have been found for quite q
number, and many Of these relations
will be permanent, we fell that there
is still room for a more thorough Or
ganization, more systematic work, let
the charity be dispensed through one
channel.

ference will be held at the Dew

mencing July Is, and continuing in
session five days. Last year the in
stitution was launched amid consider
able difficulties, and with but little un-
derstanding on the part of the public
at large as to the aim and purposes of
the promoters. The unprecedented
success Of the experiment was better
than even the best friends of the cause
anticipated. This year the work will
far surpass that of last. The plans
are matured entire.

AN OLD LANDMARK.
Old Northern Pacific Deport at Carinan
Goes to Country In Near Future.

Arrangements have been completed
for the removal of the old Northern
Pacific depot owned by Matt Cornelius
of Jerome's addition to his farm east
of Crookston. just as soon as the
country roads are in such condition
that 1t can be hauled. The lots on
which the building together with the
large barn is located have been sold
by Mr.. Cornelius to Peter Ayette who
will take possession Just as soon as
they can be vacated.
The depot is one of the land marks
of the city of Crookston as we'll as
Jerome's addition. 1t was in use by
the Northern Pacific company here
before the railroad crossed the river,
the line of this city at that time be-
ing only spur. 1t has been used for
storing purposes for some time by the
owner and has not added at all to the
appearance of the street The fact
that it will be removed from the resi-
dence portion of the city to make room
for houses will be acceptable news as
we'll as the fact that the large barn
will also go.

, More trouble 10 piling up for the au-
tomobile owner. A New Orleans acci--
dent insurance company has refused to
pay big policy on the death Of q mil

bile accident, ON the ground that the
company cannot pay claim ON an
automobilist, ''as most of them are
monomaniacs on the question Of speed
ing their machines" The company. in
It's answer to the suit which has been
fled, says the man was practically In,
sane on this question and that the
company should not be held liable for
q death resulting from the actions of
Q person temporarily insane. Most au-
tomobilists Win be apt to resent the
charge that they are monomaniacs,
but nevertheless on the question Of
speed some Of them are real maniacs.

'MIDDIES" OFF
OREGON
Thirty. Eight Discharged Blue Jackets
Pass Through Grand Forks on Way
to New York-Term Of Enlistment

SOuAp1clcOs
Bystanders at the Great Northern
depot this morning witnessed sight
that is possibly not frequent one for
Grand Forks people-that of forty of
Uncle Sans blue-jackets scampering
around the platform In their natty but
rather thin service suits, endeavoring
to keep warm.
The boys" were willing to talk.
I'VE have been attached to the U. s.
warship Oregon for the past three
years and half and have Just COM
pleted our terms of enlistment and
been discharged" said one of the
number, a non-commissioned officer.
The Oregon last week completed
cruise Of three years and eight months
In Asiatic waters, recently returning
from the Philippines. She has been
ordered dry-docked at Seattle for re-
pairs and will be out of commission
for nine months to year.,
The sailors who passed through
Grand Forks today were on board the
Oregon and left San Francisco for
Seattle three days before the earth
quake. They received their final dis
charges and pay at Bremerton yards,
which is near Seattle. Most of them
enlisted originally at New York city
and 1t is for there they are now head
ed. Their train reached this city be-
tween four and five hours late, occa-
stoned by two accidents to their en-
CINE, one near Spokane and one in the
mountains. Neither accident was very
serious, howevef.

Mrs. A. s. Burrows of 612 Belmont
avenue on Sunday received a letter
from her sister, Mrs. E. G.. Elwood,
who, with her husband and family,
have been making their home at Ala
media. CAL, one of the larger suburbs
Of San Francisco. Since the news of

morning of the earthquake-four
hours after its occurrence. 1t states
that the family escaped injury, but
that all sustained terrible fright.
Park street is mass of mortar,
brick and ruins of collapsed build
ings," reads the mfssive.
The one worst piece of news in the
missive is that Mr.. Elwood is very
seriously i'll and has gone to the hos
pital at st. Helena, where consulta-
ton of physicians was to have been
held the following day. Mr.. Elwood
and his estimable family made their

MODERN EDEN

William Bulge Begins Extensive Inn.
prevements on Land on University
Avenue Beautiful Lanes and Hedges
With Wide Streets.

Sometime since 1t was announced
by Mr.. William Bulge Of this city that
he intended planting his land on
Broadway near the university for park
purposes. These improvements were
begun today. The plans call for three,
streets, each having a breadth of 1862
feet, with grassy lane 30 feet wide
running down the center. These strips
will make practically two streets of
one and will be made beautiful by the
planting of flowers, plants, and
grasses, and the setting out of fine
shade trees. Along the entire north.
ern edge of this modern Eden, hedge
of willows several feet in height will
protect the site from the wind and
snow in the winter.
Mr. Bulge will have man stationed
on the grounds for the next three
years who will have full charge of the
trees, shrubbery and plants and give
them the best of care. From present
indications, it looks as though the site
will be one of the beauty spots of the
city before another winter rolls
around.
