WHO'S WHO IN GRAND FORKS, NO, IS
GEORGE BLAkELY.

The energetic district manager
OF the Northwestern Telephone
Exchange, with headquarters in
this city. is represented in the ac-
comparing caricature. Mr.. Blake
ly is not trying to inaugurate q
new style in coats, but the artist,
knowing the subjects infatuation
for his work, conceived the idea
of Identifying the subject with the
great telephone company by
means of the "cartoonists license"
With about a thousand miles of
telephone lines under his SUPER
vision, Mr.. Blakely is a busy man.
The extent of the lines of the
Northwestern throughout the
northwest Is very we'll known.
Few appreciate the full extent of
the service of the company, how
ever. That Grand Forks bust
ness man is enabled to sit at his
desk in his Office and converse with
customers in the most remote Sec
tons of the state is due to the
efficient service of the telephone
company. In fact no village within
the field of operations of the
Northwestern is too remote or too
small but that the same efficient
service enjoyed in the larger cities
is afforded
1t is little wonder, then, when
the full extent of the service of
the telephone company Is taken
into consideration that the subject
of today's caricature should be in
npany which he represents.

SOME ACTUAL RESULTS.

Anticipating an unusual rise in the
Red River OF the North this spring,
Senator Hansbrough secured the in,
sertion of the river and harbor ap-
preparation bill. which became a law
March 2nd last, directing the secre-
tary OF war to make a preliminary
examination or survey at certain
points along the river, especially in
Trail county. with view to straight-
ening and deepening the channel.
This work is to be paid for from
lump sum appropriation made for
similar work in other parts of the
country and is therefore limited only
by the necessities of the case.
This action was taken in response
to answers to inquiries which the SEN
ator made of some of the residents
of the valley who have been much
troubled in recent years by the over
flow of the river. These inquiries
brought out much interesting infor-
nation. 1t was stated that at several
points along the river in Trail coun-
ty, and on the opposite shores in Min
nesota, the banks of the river have
been gradually sliding toward the
center of the stream, thus narrowing
the channel and making it more shall
low, in consequence of which the eX-
cessive flood waters of the spring
time We're forced out upon the low
lands causing great inconvenience and
considerable loss.
Under the law as it now stands the
department is expressly directed to
make the preliminary examinations
and these examinations shall embrace
information concerning the CONNER
cial Importance, present and prospec-
tive, of the stream and requiring a
report as to the advisability of future
improvements. In case that the pre-
liminary report shows that the i'm
provements should be made the Sec
rotary is authorized to make a survey
and an estimate of the cost of the
Improvements and report the same to
congress. All examinations shall be
completed by the first Monday in No
vember, 1908.
The senator has had this matter up
with the department and has urged
that the work be commenced at an
early a date as possible. He cited
the condition of the Red river as it
now exists and pointed out the very
great necessity for relief. The SEN
ator has every confidence that the de-
partment will proceed with the work
at the present season.
This is merely one of the several
instances in which Senator Hans
brough has secured results of i'm
mense and far reaching consequence
to the people of this state. His prac-
tically reenactment of the denatured
alcohol law in the interests of the
farmers as against the whiskey trust,
and his aid to the homesteaders in
our western counties during the last
winter, are the practical results of
the short session of congress.

HALLApE OF THE TROLLEY RIDE

Much they spake Of the gay delight
OF the hve-cent tourists jamborees;
OF the rural views that regale his sight,
The villas and vistas, and lawns and leas,
And the sylvan brotherhood of trees.
Thus was my gullibility piled.
But want no more of their nickel sprees--
A fig for the vaunted trolley ride!
Penned like sheep in the shambles tight.
Urchins and daddies and heavyweight shoes,
With peddlers' packs to cucumber our flight.
Nor room in the crush for q mouse to
sneeze;
The sitters wroth behind rows OF standees;
To the paint they cling with their teeth out
side:
villas (D and vistas % and odorous
breeze (?)-
A fig for the vaunted trolley ride.
Homeward bound with the shades of night.
And wilder the scramble and struggle and
squeeze,
with oil mechanics to worsen our, plight,
And laborers smoking their rank IT. DIS;
With grimy Sicians from over the seas,
Whose picks and shovels we might abide
Could we dodge the fumes of their garlic
and cheese.
A fig for the vaunted trolley ride!
L'ENvoI

If auto or buggy trap be denied
shall wait my turn in a hearse, II you

which the much-needed temple is being
built. The committee is experiencing no
difficulties from a financial standpaint,
and hopes to be at home in the new
building by the first of the year at least.
At the meeting held yesterday after
noon at the headquarters the union was

by ~ A. Engle, one Of the chief orr
ganizers of the local unions, and poli-
tical factor in union labor politics. both Of
Los Angeles and San Francisco. Mr.
Engle made a number of comments on
the rapidity with which the new temple
was going up, and said that the fellow
unionists of the northern city were
pleased to know of the enterprise OF
their southern friends.
He said yesterday that he found the
business conditions of all the various
Unions in the most satisfactory situation.
and commented on the remarkable In
crease in members of the unions within
the last few months. Comparatively
there were few local unions that
amounted to much more than the name.
Now, however. the increase in members
