LADIES' SEMINARY
Will be Located Here at Some FIXTURE
Time

According to reports it looks
very much as if the city would
in the near future have young
ladies' seminary. The sisters of
St. Joseph and those belonging
to the Benedictine order are said
to have paid visit to the city
some few days since, with the OBJ
ject in view of looking over suit
able ground. They are reported
to have left the city very much
pleased with the outlook.
If a seminary is located here,
it will mean much to the city. In
the first. place the new building
will be likely to cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. Then, too,
it will be the means of providing
a finished education to many
young women and girls of the
city and surrounding country at
a nominal cost. Besides this,
there would undoubtedly be a
large number of girls who would
attend the seminary from abroad
It is not known what assist
ance, if any, will be asked of the
city toward securing a seminary
for Devils Lake.

AUTO HITS A RIG
Tom Shuts Runs Into Rig on Grand
Harbor Road and Takes Off Wheel

Thomas Slutz, chauffeur for
w. H. Ball, with his machine
Tuesday night about ten o'clock
on the Grand Harbor road, ran
into buggy belonging to Frank
Emigh, a well-known and popu-
lar farmer of Grand Harbor
township, The accident resulted
in taking off front wheel of the
buggy, overturning the rig and
throwing Mr.. Emigh to the
ground.
It seems that Mr.. Emigh was
returning to his home from the
city when he saw the lights of
the approaching machine, think
ing that the chauffeur surely saw
him, he pulled to one side of the
road. But unfortunately Mr..
Slutz did not see the vehicle until
when within ten feet of it, for
the rig was out of the range of
his lights. 1t was then, when
travelling about twenty miles an
hour, impossible to do anything
but sheer from his course, which
he did, but too late to avoid COM
ing in contact with the buggy.
The accident was an unfort-
unate one, but probably entirely
unavoidable under the circum-
stances.
Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Emigh had a
satisfactory settlement.

FISH ARRIVED
Consignment for Devils and
Sweetwater Lakes
COME HERE IN FISHERIES CAR
| $50 Bass and 1850 Cat Fish
Put Into Devils Lake

United States Fisheries Car
No. 1 arrived in the city Tuesday
evening. On board was a large
consignment Of black bass and
cat fish, consigned to C. M. Fish
er and Charles Taylor. The fish
are designed to stock the waters
of Devils Lake and Sweetwater
lake.. To the former place are to
be consigned 1890 bass and t.
$50 cat, while the latter gets $50
bass and $50 cat.
The fisheries car is under the
supervision of Captain w. E.
Smith, a most genial gentleman,
and proves a most interesting
place. Along each side is ranged
twelve tanks, in which the live
fish are kept. Fresh air is pump
ed into these tanks continually,
a system of rubber tubes and an
engine being used for this pur-
pose. The tanks are also kept
at a certain temperature. There
fore the car is always stocked
with plenty of ice. The careful
mess with which the fish are
watched in transportation makes
the undertaking rather an ardu-
GUS one, and completely contra
diets the popular idea that live
and well-kept fish may be trans
ported with ease.
For the past six weeks party
lof government experts, under
the supervision of Mr.. Pope, has
been down at the lake experiment
ting and analyzing the water. A
consignment of perch were pro.
cured from the waters of the
! Sheyenne river and for the past
1.-TWO weeks have been thriving ir
a wire mesh trap. Their actions
; have been closely watched anc
, noted, and it is evident that st
far they have had no trouble il
, living in the waters of Devils
lake.
Next year, if the present ex
Iperiments are successful, there
will be nothing to prevent {
|speciallarge shipment of aspecia
carload of fish for this body o:
water.
| The matter of providing suit
able spawning grounds has no
las yet been looked into, but ar
rangements will be made in tn
near future, whereby adequat'
places will be provided.
Tuesday Charles Taylor places
about a thousand bass and ca
| fish in Sweetwater lake, the fis]
jbeing kept in a wire cage so a
to enable seeing their condition
and whether or not they woul'
thrive.

offered something more than
that amount. However, Devils
Lake is favored by the directors,
and for this reason G.. A. Dodge,
Doctor Brown of Grand Forks,
and Rev. N. S. Reeves Of this
city, made a canvass of the busi-
ness men about the city Wednes-
day with this purpose in view.
With this college here the
value to the city will be incal-
cuble. Many young men are
yearly leaving Devils Lake to
procure higher education else
where, for the city can offer
nothing outside a high school ed
ucation. The college would en-
ploy a large force of teachers
and instructors who would make
the city their home the greater
part Of the year.
Although the institution would
be conducted under the direction
of the Presbyterian church, it
would be non-sectarian and
pupils of every denomination
would be welcomed.

WHEAT ABOUT ALL IN
farmers Almost Through With Cut.
ting the Grain

ting the Grain
By the end of the week most
of the wheat on farms in the
will be cut. The barley
was all shocked by the end of
last week, and this week
the farmers have been turn
ing their attention to the
cutting of the wheat. Every
idle man in the city who is will
ing to work has found employ
ment, and there is work for a
great many more. Large thresh-
ing crews are being organized
everywhere.
The wheat crop has turned out
a great deal better than was ex-
pected a few weeks ago. 1t was
feared at one time that the crop
this year would not amount to
much. Destructive hail and wind
storms, cold and damp weather
and high dry winds have all been
experienced but in spite of all
these drawbacks the wheat crop
for 1907 in Ramsey county will
be a good one. In fact it looks
as if it would be much better
than in other parts of the state,
for Ramsey county seems to have
been particularly we'll favored
this year.
By reason of the fact that the
present wheat crop all over the
world is a short one, the price
which will be received for that
| cereal will be a good one. The
| crop of Russia and all the old
countries which produce wheat
has fallen short, and even in the
United States part of the present
crop is a failure.

AMUSEMENT I
Park to Be Built on the
Shore of Devils Lake
NAMED GREENWOOD WONDERLAND
One Hundred and Ninty.sk Acres of
Land Will Be Used

Next summer Devils Lake will
have frst-class up to date sum-
mer resort, as one hundred and
ninety-six acres Of land for that
purpose have been bought out
right in the vicinity of Green
wood, the beautiful tract of land
north of the Chautauqua
grounds. The ground was pur-
chased from J. O. Baughman,
and embraces his fifteen acres of
fine garden. It is the intention
of the future management to
convert about twenty acres of
this tract into a beautiful lawn,
and negotiations are now under
way with a prominent landscape
gardener with this end in view.
No stock will be sold, but there
are IA lots now plated, 80 of
which are already sold. The in
dications are that the balance
will soon be transferred, for our
citizens are realizing that Green
wood is an ideal spot on which
to build a summer home. The
underbrush is to be cleared as
far back as Greenwood Wonder
land extends, and the lots are all
heavily wooded.
Wonderland park, proper, will
be a two acre tract of land on the
lake shore, which will be fenced
in. On one side of the inclosure
will be ranged booths for the dis
play of different lines of mer-
chants goods. On the other side
will~be a continuous line of up
to date amusement attractions.
At the further end will be built
a large dancing pavilion, forty
by eighty feet. Ten cents admis-
sion to the grounds will be char.
ged. A chute the chutes, roller
coaster. toboggan slide, three
gasoline launches and row boats
will be installed and a boat house
built.
It is the intention of the new
management to incorporate un
der the laws of the state and or
ganize for the enterprise. The
company is composed of the fol
lowing gentlemen: C. A. Stotler
R. A.. Young, M. J. Cowley ane
Dependon Charles Smith. Mr.
Smith is now in Chicago, Mil
waukee and the Twin Citie'
where he has gone to Investigate
the summer amusement parks q
those places, with a view to Sc
curing attractions for the nev
enterprise.
Work has already been activ
lily begun, and by next summe
we may expect to find an up t.
date amusement park, complet
in every particular, installed a
this beautiful resort.

Will Discuss Plan Today.

At meeting of the Portland
Realty Board today a proposition
to place practical exhibit of
Oregon products in the East will
be discussed. J o Rountree, a
member of the board, tavors get
ting up carload of Oregon fruit,
grain and other products, such as
may be seen at the Chamber of
Commerce land sending it to all
the cities of the Atlantic sea-
board, where it is expected to at
tract the attention o. people who
are tired of conditions there, but
who don't kuow where to go in
order to better themselves.
Literature is all very we'll in
its wav, but it does not not DEM
onstrate in a practical way what
can be done in Oregon" Mr..
Rountree says: "Calitornia has
attracted NOR attection in the
East by sending exhibits there
than by all the printed informa-
ton ever sent out. People at
distance could see for themselves
what could be produced out there,
and they became interested as
they would in no other way. We
can accomplish what that state
did by pursuing the very same
course.
1.-THE exhibit of Hood River
apples ia tue windows d )wn town
not long siuce proved a revela-
tion to the citizens of Portland
themselves. Not 20 per cent of
our own people knew what Hood
River Valley is capable of until
they saw these apples in the store
windows of our principal firms.
If we do not know the posibili-
ties of Hood River until we saw
those apples, we cannot exps CT
that Eastern people will know
very much about US until they
see for themselves what we raise
out here.
''The cost of getting up an ex-
hibit will be small compared with
the good it will do, and I hope
to see at least one car of products
sent to New York before long"

Hofer'S "RoaSt."

Colonel E. Hofer, editor Of the

"The legislature ought to
abolish the eighth grade teach

that; the whole state educational

new one started, but it takes
brains to do that aud they are not

Report Not Believed.

The report that was seat out a
few days ago in regard to the in
jury done to Oregon hops by the
recent severe cold weather is dis
credited by Benton growers.
That it is discredited by
growers about Salem also is
shown iu brief dispatch from
the Statesman which says:
Growers and hop buyers in
this vicinity place little reliabil-
ity on the reports sent out that
go per cent OF the hop yards OF
the state have been damaged by
the recent frosts. Just how ser
ious the damage to the hop roots
has been, is difficult to ascer-
tain. Hops in other states have
to endure much severer climate
and are seldom damaged. Many
look upon the frost as rather a
benefit to the hops as it loosened
the soil. Oregon hops are of a
hardy disposition and can stand
severe weather. In fact, the late
cold rains are more dest, uctive to
the hops than any Oregon frost.
A buver yesterday said the re-
ports were only a scheme hatch
ed up to swell the market and
that as far as be was concerned
be was sorry 10 see the ma. ket
so low bur hardly thought this
aev plan wonId prove an effective
one to raise the price of hops.

Subscribed Literally.

What was yesterday a prooa-
bility has become reality
through the liberal subscriptions
of the students who attended the
"Student Building Rally" at the
Armorv FRIDAY evening. 1t was
with some feeling of doubt that
the promoters of this project un-
dertook the late canvass, but
their past labors in devlsing
what plan would be best to pre-
sent the movement to the stu
dent, and explaining its purposes
certainly bore fruit last Friday
evening when the 400 students,
who had assembled at the Ar
mory, subscribed the sum of $2,-
172 so.
But few people can under
stand the sacrifices some of the
students who subscribed to the
movement will have to undergo
in order that they will be able to
pay their pledges; but the fact
that they have done SO, is the
best eulogy that can lie pronoun-
ced to the memory of Claiborne
Shepard, who practically sacri-
feed his life to the cause-and a
fitting example of the ''spirit"
that fills the heart of nearly
every student in OAC.
