SEC. WILSON IS BUSY
State Fair Matters Arc Progressing
Observation-Disclosures May
Change Its Fair Date.

Buster than a ticket taker at the
ten cent theatre"
Thus did Secretary Wilson of the
state fair association describe himself
! this morning, and the pile of corre-
sp1ndence on his desk did not belle
the assertion.
The Fargo fair is attracting the
attention of the outside world and
men in the business of providing
amusement for fair crowds are fairly
stepping on each others toes in their
effort to get chance to exhibit here
AS a result letters are piling into
the secretary's office by the score and
he is being offered the privilege of
making his own selection from scores
of attractions.
That the fair will be- a stupendous
success there can be no question
now. 1t is only up to the weather. If
Old Sol should do the right thing
from July % to July % the memory
of the state fair for Fargo will surely
linger in the minds of thousands of
visitors from all parts of the north
west for years.
1t is reported on the streets today
that the date of the Winnipeg fair
has been changed but an investiga-
ton proved that the report was not
quite true. The Winnipeg fair officials
have recently limited that they would
like to change the date and it is known
that they are taking steps to make the
change, but no definite action has yet
been taken.
The cause of the move to change
the fair date at the Manitoba town
is apparent to persons who are inter-
ested in the advancement of fairs
throughout the state. The news of the
greatness Of the Fargo fair has spread
like wild fire and it is suspected that
the Winnipeg people fear that by
| holding their fair on the same date
as the big North Dakota fair their
own chances of success will be great
ly diminished.
One of the important matters which
the fair association has decided upon
is to furnish good artesian water for
the benefit of the patrons at the fair.
| No one need drink from the Red dur
ing fair week and they won't have to
drink red lemonade either. unless
they want to.
| ''We will spend several hundred
| dollars in providing good drinking
water for fair visitors" said Secre-
| tary Wilson, "and we believe that the
money will be well expended"

even stronger light than in the past
and Mr.. Wilson expects to devote his
entire time to this feature, and will
spend most of his time on the road,
describing the growth of cities and
towns, the fertility of the soil, the de-
velopment OF livestock interests, the
Importance of the schools and other
similar attractions which should be
made prominent in telling Of North
Dakota's wonderful progress. 1t Is
hoped that he will receive the assist
ance of citizens generally particu-
larly as this is not attempted as paid
write-ups.

FIOWer Boat DecOrQteS
Graves of Hero Sailors
Pretty Custom Intro
duced by Comrade
Whitney.

When the little flower boat, launched
on Wednesday at the Seventh street
wharf. went gliding down the river TAX
ing its message of love TO the sailor
dead, everybody who read OF the pretty
ceremony was impressed with its sig
nificance. Many had never heard of
the custom. although it has been in use
five years, having been instituted by
s. p. Whitney, a veteran of the Grand
Army.
Year after year America pays her
tribute to the soldier dead. but nothing
has apparently been done to perpetuate
the memory of sailors who lost their
lives in the war. Comrade Whitney
thought up t:iIs pretty little scheme of
loading n little boat with flowers and
sending ii on its way. Five years ago
the first fragrant cargo went gliding
down the river carrying it's silent
message to the brave men who fought
on the water and died In the cause of
their country. Blue and gray alike were
honored, and the sailors who died in
the notable conflict between the Monitor
and Merrimac have during these years
been the object of special care by COM

WARNS AGAINST THE FLY

Water Thought to Be
Pure.
WARNS AGAINST THE FLY

Despite every effort on the part of
the Health Department. the records OF
the Health Department shows that ty-
phoid fever has Increased by many
cases over the showing Of one year
ago. So evident has this increase been
since the first OF the present year that
the situation may be reasonably stated
as bordering on a mild epidemic.
Since January of this year. I54 cases
Of typhoid have been reported TO the
health authorities. while only 12S cases
came TO the attention Of the department
during the same period last year.
While not agreeing that the typhoid
situation has any peculiar features
which might be alarming, Health Of
ficer Woodward admits that he Is com
pletely mystihed as 90 the real source
Of the present marked Increase Of the
infection.
Many theories as TO the probable
source OF the increased infection have
been presented 10 TX. Woodward the
failure OF the filtration plant, the com
mon house fly as thu carrier. and the
infection through mix being the three
principal ones To the first. Dr. Wood
ward gives no credence.
While Dr. Woodward has made the
ny theory" the subject OF careful in
vesugation and holds that the house fly
Is dangerous and likely carrier of the
disease. he does not agree that the
increase has any logical connection with
the fly at this time.
In connection with the fly theory"
which has been so strongly advocated
by George Kober and others OF the
medical profession, Dr. Woodward ad-
Vises that every precaution be taken
against permitting flies 10 enter houses.
