The late Bishop James Newbury Fitzgerald. in an address in St. Louis once declared that sympathy, far more than eioquence or learning. made for success in the ministry.

WAS At SALT LAKE CITY
Edgar H. Wells of Grand Forks is
Interviewed in the Land Of
the M0rmons.

The Inter-Mountain Republican, pub

tains the following concerning Edgar
H. Wells, which will he of interest to
friends in this city and at the univer-
sity:
Edgar H. Wells of Grand Forks, N.
D., junior in the University of North
Dakota, who is taking the mining en-
cheering course, is now in Utah to OBJ
tain experience in field work. He will
enter the employ of the Gold Develop
ment company at Marysvale and will
go to work in the Franklin tunnel, the
big bore which is being driven to the
Edna crater.
"The property Of the Gold Develop
ment company is perhaps as interest
ing one as could be found anywhere
for young man seeking practical
knowledge in mining. The Gold noun
tain country is rugged in the extreme,
Its formations are a valuable study,
and 1t presents great problems for the
mining engineer to overcome.
Some years ago shaft was sunk
which was found upon one of the lofti-
est peaks of that section. Good values
were encountered in the sinking, but
the place is SO nearly inaccessible that
1t was found impracticable to mine In
the shaft. A tunnel site was found
about one mile from the crater and the
work Of driving the tunnel is we'll I'M
der way. ~ -
Undermine Crater.
1T Is expected to reach a point d.
rectly underneath the crater next July,
when vertical depth of 1000 feet or
more will have been attained. It is
believed, however, that the vein will
be encountered some time before the
objective point is reached, and unless
all reasonable calculations fail there
will be interesting developments in the
tunnel during the next few months.
"Dr. Gilbert ]. Palen general man.
ager of the Gold Development compa-
ny, has gone to Philadelphia for a
months visit. Following his return his
time will be divided between Denver
and Salt Lake the company having
large interests in Colorado as we'll as

"Mr. Wells, in his new position, will
have one of the best chances possible
in this section of the country to obtain
practical knowledge along his chosen
subject" ,,

DEVILS LAKE man
BOOSTS THE
STATE
Says Yellow Stories Sent Out
Will Not Affect Immi-
grafton.

Notwithstanding the exaggerated
reports which have been sent broad
cast over the United States relative
to the conditions in the state during
the past two months, North Dakota
will enjoy the greatest boom in It's
history according to w. R. Montgomery
of Devils Lake who has just returned
from a three months visit In the east.
Mr.. Montgomery is member of the
firm of Thorson & Montgomery, mer-
chants of Devils Lake. He says there
was little or no foundation for the
statements that there was terrible
suffering because Of the lack of coal.
Some of the farmers had to burn
oats and straw for about ten days, but
that was ALL" The only people in the
vicinity of Devils Lake who froze to
death were some Indians who came
into town, got full of fire water and
then tried to 60 home"
Mr.. Montgomery is planning to
move his business from Devils Lake
to Tioga, in Williams county, about
forty miles east of Williston. He
states that the new country about
Tioga is being settled up very rapidly
and that detrimental reports regarding
conditions in North Dakota, which
have been published in eastern papers,
do not seem to have any serious effect
in checking immigration.
Waiting Shipment.
During the past week have been
in Minneapolis" said Mr.. Montgom-
cry, "and / found that there are many
families bound for the northwestern
part of the state who were tied up at
the Minnesota transfer waiting for
their goods to be shipped.
"Tioga is in the heart of splendid
agricultural region and there is plenty
of coal thereabouts. Only mile from
town there is a Ignite mine, and five
miles out there is another very large
one"
While admitting that great guam
tity of snow has fallen in that part of
the state, Mr.. Montgomery believes
that this will prove very beneficial in
the end and will result in unusually
bountiful crops next summer.
"The snow fell before the ground
had frozen very far down." he said,
"and when it melts It will sink into
the ground, furnishing just the mois-
ture which is needed. The ground last
fall was very dry but the snow this
winter will remedy that difficulty and
will make crop conditions the very
best d.

Of Grand Forks which appeared in

This hostelry is one Of the high class

eight years ago, and has lived in Grand

started in the hotel business in the
year 1889.
The New York Hotel has twenty

What Is a Pullman Porter?
Copyright n. B. C.)

"A Pullman porter is half owner of
a Pullman palace car. He is as black
as a politicians soul and has hands
that resemble hams. A porter is a
legitimate train robber, and his busi-
ness is the collection of surplus?
money from passengers. Is he paid
by the company? No, porters are only
half paid by their employers, because
they are supposed to extract their
balance from the dead easy American
public. What are his duties? His
first duty is to make the passengers
feel comfortable; instead of doing this
he makes them feel like dirty duces
in a new pack until they have come
up with the mazuma."
After he gets his money, the one
who has been bled is treated as though
he were the ace of trumps. Isn't this
pretty rough on the porter? Well,
we have travelled from coast to coast
four times, and We have seen but two
exceptions. All alike.

OPERATOR TOOK
CHANGES T0LAND
BIG SCOOP
Death Of Robert Lewis, Former
Grand Forker, Recalls
Famous BEAT"

The death of Robert v. Lewis, the
st. Paul telegraph operator, at Den
yer, Colo, Monday, note of which was
made in these columns, recalls to
mind famous newspaper scoop" of
which Lewis was the hero. Lewis
was for three or four years an opera
tor for the Western Union in this city
but four years ago removed to st. Paul
where he has since resided.
The above mentioned scoop" was
made shortly after Lewis left this
city. On the night of Aug. 20, 1904,
when Lewis was on the Associated
Press wire at the Fourth and Robert
street station in st. Paul, the only
cyclone St. Paul ever had struck that
city.
Lewis could not get wire to work
out Of st. Paul to send the news broad
cast over the country.
Finally he heard that the private
wires of the Burlington railroad were
running from Chicago to their Dayton
bluff station near the Sanity city.
So, regardless of the tangled mass
of wreckage and debris, Lewis, then
already a victim of tuberculosis from
which his death occurred this week,
waded through the debris, risked his
life dozen times midst live wires
and wreckage and after terrific effort
reached Daytons bluff station, sent the
message that told the world that st.
Paul was safe, and saved thousands
of friends of st. Paulites away from
home, the anguish of feeling that low
ed ones might have been killed or in
jured.
Lewis failed soon after this adj
venture, sinking gradually until few
weeks ago when he became to i'll to
keep at his work. He then went to
Denver, Colo, in the hope of getting
his health back, but died at midnight
on Monday.

WATCHING FOR THE MORROW
Grand Forks People Wondering How
the Month of March Win Come In
Howling Lion or Beating Lamb.

Will March, the month of winds,
come in like lion or like a lamb.
Quite few Grand Forks people are
wondering just what kind of weather
the weather man will dish out tomor-
row. The old superstition is that if
March comes in like lion, it will go
out like lamb, but that if it comes in
like lamb, it will go out like lion.
From the kind of weather North Da-
kota has been getting the last few
weeks, it would seem that at least
one of the old time weather supersti-
tons had been discredited, that of the
ground hog and the shadow.

the wonderful evolution that had been
wrought along all lines of the bust
ness and explained the various
branches. He stated that he knew of
no more attractive profession than
that of engineering, with the condi-
ton that the one undertaking it is
willing to work. To insure success
the student must have natural taste
for the work and must have an anyly-
tical and constructive mind. He must
be leader and possess good sound
judgment but must. not be loath to
unite his own efforts with those of
others for in this way only are great
achievements accomplished.
