Feat of Greek Scholar.

1t may safely be said that no feat of
translation in any age has never
equaled that achieved by Prof. Jebb
in rendering Browning's "Abt vogler"
into Greek verse. This fine soliloquy
of the musician is less obscure, no
doubt, than many other of its authors
productions, but it abounds in imag-
cry and in turns of thought which even
an Englishman finds it not very easy
to follow and of which he could hard
ly have conceived it possible that any
Greek equivalents should exist. Yet
they did exist, for Jebb found them,
though it may be doubted whether any
other Greek scholar living would have
been equally successful in his search.

Every detail is practically perfected
for the Snowfall party Of the Elks
next Friday night. 1t will not only be
unique In character, but will be the
acme of social entertainments In the
city.
Don Mcdonald: Present Indications
are that there will be large crowd
at the Undertakers' convention which
meets Jan. 81 in this city. There will
be some serious work done, the con-
vention having more the appearance of
school than of anything else. There
has been no change in the program
published few days ago in The
Evening Times.
s. Collins: / notice by the dis
patches from Chicago that the saloon
licence has been raised from $500 to
$1,000 in that city. wonder how
much that increases the revenue of
the city. If the saloons are as thick
in Chicago as they are in East Grand
Forks, there must be about 10,48O.
At $500 apiece would be an increase
of $5,240,0OO to the income of the
city. It is further stated that this
increased revenue will be used in in
creasing the police force. At SIS
month this would give an addition to
the force of more than $500 men.
That aught to help some
Judge Mclaughlin: l notice that
many Of the people Of the city are very
slack about shoveling the snow off
their walks. It is quite a job to keep
the walks cleared such weather as
thio ond II roo10yy oh tn, ho OFT
ed to by the wards. :: In most cities,
especially in the residence and subur-
ban portions, the street commission
ers attend to cleaning the walks. 1t
Is done by means of team and a
"V"-shaped arrangement hauled with
the point foremost. 1t Is heavily
weighted and does excellent work. 1t
keeps the paths broad enough for any
purpose and the bottoms of them
smooth and hard. 1t beats high, mar
row path by several laps.
Grand Forks Citizen: am pleased
to note that some of the citizens of
Grand Forks are anxious to have a
city weighmaster and city scales. The
move is in the right direction and I
hope the proposed ordinance may go
through. do not know that / am
getting short weight or short measure,
but would like to have chance to
find out. If we are all getting a
square deal on weights and measures,
I can see no reason why the matter
might not be carried out with no OBJ
iections on the part of anyone. The
toll will pay the expense of mainte-
nance and there should be no objec-
ton on the part of the honest man
Who is using the scales or measure
in his dealings with the public.
]. B. Wineman: am glad that the
newspapers have called the attention
Of the people of the county to the fact
that the failure to meet the require
|. ments Of the law relative to fire es-
capes and outward swinging doors,
leaves them liable to judgment for
loss of life or injuries resulting from
fires in such buildings and that they
may further be prosecuted for man
slaughter.
A Railroad Man: 1t is something
astonishing the number of senseless
questions which we are called upon
to answer. A lady called up yester-
lay and asked when the o'clock
train would be in. I told her at 5
o'clock, and then she asked me If it
was late. had to refrain from what
thought and assure her that it was
on time.

many souls, dear brother, were added

VIII Play at Devils Lake.

John Carl the manager of the Foss-
ton Juvenile band passed through the
city this morning enroute home from
Devils Lake where he has conferred
with the managers of the Chautauqua
association and has completed ar
rangements for the band to furnish
music for the full season the coming
summer. The Fosston band is recog-
nized as good one and there is no
doubt but they will make good with
the North Dakota people. 1t is fine
opportunity for the boys to get an
annual outing and they will undoubt-
eddy enjoy the vacation.

Northwestern Phone Company Ex.-
pands.

The Northwestern Telephone Ex-
change company, which recently
bought out the Iron Range company
of this city, has largely increased it's
mileage throughout the northwest by
extensive construction work during
the past few months, has now secur-
ed control of the Minnesota Central
Telephone company whose general
offices are located at Willmar. The
deal involves the taking over of about
1000 miles of lines in territory
covering about 200 miles in the west
ern and southwestern portions of the
state. The Minnesota Central COM
pany was organized in 1897 with d.
N. Tallman as president. Its capital
stock was placed at $4,000. The ex-
traordinary growth of the telephone
business in the territory comprehend
ed by its lines has made the property
very valuable, and it is said that a
valuation of 100000 was the basis
upon which the negotiations were con-
Quoted.

The local yachtsmen based their de-
cision upon the notice which was sent
out by the Chicago officials to the
effect that double rudders might be
used for craft of the twenty-one foot

this equipment had been placed upon
the New Illinois and BillpesterL and
that committee had been appointed
to investigate into the justice Of this

Endurance and Skill in Driving
Put to Severe Test in Gid

Special to The Journal.
Saratoga, N. Y, July 14-The en-
tire string Of automobiles in the Gid
den contest, which put up last night at
Utica, reached here today early in the
afterno ?as The patrols today were
best kind of driving and endurance
Of the machines that the contestants
were able 70 make perfect scores.
The third patrol from Fonda to Glen
view was the hardest Of the day A
long hill, the worst yet encountered,
just outside Glenview, broke the other
wise clean performance Of many cars.
Many ran out Of gasolene climbing the
hill, while others failed on water, and
few machines broke down temper
arily. The assistance given by the
more fortunate to the distressed cars
was an excellent example Of the good
feeling which existed among the auto
lists despite the fact that every manu-
featuring concern is bending every eff
fort towards winning the trophy.
The contest can hardly be called q
tour, as almost all machines are being
pushed to the limit to make the pa
trolls. The schedule requires an aver
age of about eighteen miles an hour,
while twelve to fourteen over roads of
all sorts is considered a good rate of
speed. Any kind Of accident means
that the drivers must hit up a gait
Of thirty to forty miles an hour to get
in on time. If contestant so pleased
he could often cause competitors trou.
BILE by refusing to give them the right
Of way when they were trying to make
time, but there have been no. protests
so far.
The time allowed for the run from
Utica, distance Of ninety-fve miles
was five hours and thirty-four minutes
The Mohawk valley was the principal
region traversed, the roads being poor
for speed, as they ran along the hill
sides and were rough.

took the lead shortly after the crews
passed the mile. From this point on
the fight was three-cornered, with Win
nipeg holding the lead and Minnesota
and Duluth fighting for second pace.
Up to 100 yards from the finish the
Minnesota boat led by half length,
for a final effort and decreased the St..
Paul lead to- one-quarter Of length.
The time was 7 minutes, IS seconds,
which was considered remarkably fast
considering the condition of the water.

San Francisco, July 14.-The Pacific
Athletic association last night at It's
monthly meeting decided to throw out
amateur boxing from it's list Of sports
and pastimes This is in keeping with
a wish expressed by President McCabe
of the Amateur Athletic union on his
reetnt visit to San Francisco. This
will mean that the board Of supervisors
will have to handle all four-round bouts
themselves.
Up to- the present time they have
only given permits to clubs which were
members of the Pacific Athletic associa-
tion and had received sanctions from
that body, but now, as that body has
given up control of boxing, the board
Of supervisors will have to amend the
ordinance that allows permits to be
granted or else stop the game. This
also means that the association &C.
knowledges that there is no such thing
as amateur boxers.
