THE PR0TESTANTS
EP|SCOPALEANS
Twentieth Annual Meeting of
the North Dakota District
Will Close Today.

Fargo, n. D.. May 2S.-This after
meeting of the Protestant Episcopal
were held in this city, and have been
largely attended. Rev. F. A. Martyr
was ordained, and it is announced
ton church.
At the business sessions, Rev. j. X.
BurlesOn was reelected to the secre-
taryship. All the clergy of the district
with one exception was present.
An important part of the business
was the election of lay and clerical
delegates to represent the church of
North Dakota at the general conven-
ton to be held at jamestown, Va, in
October. This being the ter-centenary
year of the establishment of the
church in this country there was
more than usual interest in the cleo
ton for the coveted places. 1t re-
quired two ballots to decide the cleo
ton of clerical delegate and the hon
or fell to the Rev. e. w. Burleson of
jamestown and as alternate the Rev.
Archdeacon Jones of Bismarck was
elected. The lay delegate elected by
the clergy was c. D. Lord Of Park
River and he was also the selection Of
the laymen. Colonel Peake of Valley
City will go as alternate.
The Sunday school commission re-
ported larger Lenten Offering for
missions, from the children than ever
before in the history of the church in
this state. The prize banner was
awarded to the school at Larinore
which had per capita average of
S3.S1 $40. 1t was the fraction that
won the honor for that school as Ken
mare came next with an average of
$3.S1.
The reports of the several branches
of the church work over the state were
very encouraging and along the whole
line there was progress noted. Owing
to unavoidable removals in the ranks
of the clergy disruption was caused in
some parishes and there has been a
slight falling off in the number of can
didates for confirmation.
/. A full and very encouraging report
of the Episcopal hall at Valley City in
connection with All Saints church,
which offers home for young women
students attending the normal school
was read by the rector, the Rev. L. G.
Moultrie. There has been an average
of thirty young ladies taken care of
during the year and the parishes over
the state have done great deal in
supplying provisions for the table,
which indirectly helps to initiate the
fund to pay the balance due on the
building which was bought last fall,
half being paid in cash and the bal
ance to be paid in five years.

MOVING ALONG.

When government control was first
talked about, the managers of rail-
roads were put to it to find words
sufficiently strong for its adequate
condemnation. But the chances are
that before very long the majority of
them will stand with few already
planted in favor of that very EVIL"
which was to accomplish their ruin,
II ever undertaken.
This is only another illustration of
the way in which progress moves. New
methods are suggested; they are de-
clared impossible, then undesirable,
then tolerable. and finally, after being
adopted, are pronounced bulwarks of
safety. Government control of rail-
roads was going to be their ruin and
was something the government had
no call or right to attempt.
Now what we hear is that the one
way to make the meddling states keep

A GROUSE HUNTERS STORY
Traveller Says Grouse Have Been
Cause Of Many Hunters Being Lost
old Timer Makes Ga0d


Grouse have been the cause of
more hunters being lost in the woods
than anything else" said F. L. Peters
Of Grand Rapids, MIMI. at the Da-
cotah. "A man gets into a flock of
them, and becomes SO interested in
following them in their erratic flight,
that, before he knows it. he loses all
sense of direction, unless he is in
part of the forest with which he is
familiar. That makes a difference, of
course.
IAN old hand in the woods, when
he is in a region that is strange to
him, will always keep his mind on
the general direction in which he is
travelling, and it is seldom that a per-
,son used to the ways of the woods
becomes lost. because of this fact. 1t
is easier for him to keep his bear
ings, no matter how strange the Sec
ton, than it is for some person who
has not been in the woods much. The
greenhorn never thinks of the direc-
ton. particularly If, as l have said,
he has been after the elusive grouse.
"The only time l was ever really
lost for fair was two years ago when
I was after grouse with two friends.
We were in a territory entirely new
to me. Ordinarily l am pretty care
full to see that do not get turned
around, but this particular morning
the birds were pretty numerous. and
chased around in all directions in
my anxiety to get a good bag Of them.
1t was cloudy, and when l came to
strike out for camp l wasn't sure
which was the right direction. I knew
of road that would set me right,
however, and set out for that.
II though I was travelling directly
toward 1t. but, as matter of fact, /
went directly away from It, The far
Their l went the more unfamiliar the
country became. and in the course of
an hour or two l began to realize
that I really was lost. did every
thing l could to think of some way
of setting myself right on direction,
but couldn't figure out what seemed
to be a satisfactory system. After
while I came to creek which I
figured would probably lead me to
the lake on which we were camped,
and started to follow 1t down. 1t
was crooked stream, and walking
along its brush-covered banks was
pretty hard. but I plugged along for
two or three hours, and all the time
the creek grew larger and larger.
Instead of running into a lake. it
emptied into a small-sized river.
happened to have map of the coun-
try in my pocket, and with the as
sistance Of this I figured out the
name and location of the river, and
from that my approximate position.
AS far as could figure, was about
eight miles from camp. With this
fact fixed in my mind, started of in
the general direction of the camp, and
after walking something over an hour
began to shoot. three times in quick
succession with my repeater. a signal
agreed on between the fellows.

their inexperienced hands of the
roads is to have the general govern
ment put its hands on and do the con-
trolling. States had their uses in the
beginning in grantig charters and spe-
cial privileges, but, when it comes to
the state turning about and subjecting
railroads to deprivation, then it is
time to Cry stop.
The enormous expansion of railroad
systems carries a common interest
across a dozen states, and, when each
state takes a hand at the matter of
regulation, the annoyance to the single
anagement is serious OF course, the
states did not compel the expansion;
that is voluntary supposedly in rec
ognition of all the risks that go with
it, But when the risks materialize
the management looks around for re-
lief from the very trouble 1t has run
into unsolicited.
The drift is now toward national
charters and control from Washing
ton. How long ago was it that such
a condition would mean ruin? 1t is
going to be run this way and that
by corporations over which they have
no power of regulation, but which
they themselves created and devel-
oped.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 2S.-The tenn
perature dropped to forty degrees
above zero last night. This record
has been equalled only twice before
since the weather bureau was estab-
lished in this city in 1871. Through
out the fruit belt along the south shore
of Lake Erie, huge bonfires were kept
burning last night with view to pre-
venting damage by frost to the young
fruit. Owing to the fact that there
was light wind blowing nearly all
night, it is not believed that the dam
age by frost will be heavy in this Sec
ton. From other points in the state,
however. reports indicate much de-
struction. A dispatch from Zanes-
Vile, Ohio, says there was a killing
frost throughout that county and the
entire Muskingum valley last night
and the fruit has been damaged very
materially

Yards of Court House in
This City.

The county commissioners this aft
ernoon decided to condemn the fence
that had been ordered built around
the county court house. Work on the
fence was started several days ago,
but the appearance of it did not exact

The court house yards have been
without fence for the last few
months, and the appearance has been
very good. Some people would rather
not have fence about the yards at
all.

Washington, May 2S.-At the cabinet
meeting today, Attorney General
Bonaparte laid before the president
and Secretary Root the report of
District Attorney Devlin of San Fran
cisco on the alleged assault on Japan
csc, a resident of that city. The re-
port, Attorney General Bonaparte
says, shows that the first stories of the
alleged assault were exaggerated and
that the difficulty appeared to be
lack of police protection on account of
the strike. Secretary Root took the
report with him, and If any further ac-
ton is taken, it will be by the state
department.

FOR CREOsOTE BLOCKS.

If the people of this city listen to
all the talk about the best paving ma
terial which is being made by the rep
resentatives of the several concerns
interested, they will have as many
views on the matter as there are bid
ders for the work. 1t is naturally
expected that firms engaged in the
manufacture of the different kinds
of material would be interested in
hawking their wares. While this is
legitimate and right, the public should
not permit itself to be handed a gold
brick.
The Evening Times believes that,
of the available materials possible
under the present conditions of the
paving problem, the creosote blocks
are best. Brick has been tried for
many years and wherever used has
given absolute satisfaction. 1t would
seem reasonable that they would do
so in this city. But, being out Of the
consideration, it is better, possibly,
for those who advocate this material
to turn their attention to the next
best.
The principal opponent of the Gre
osote block is what is known as the
Blome pavement. This, stripped Of
technical descriptions, is a form of
concrete, on the plan Of the city's
sidewalks. As is known to every
one, this structure is formed of ce-
ment and sand, and may be so con-
structed that it's ability to resist traf-
fic wear is very low. This, of course,
might be avoided by careful scientific
inspection while the material is being
laid.
1t has many disadvantages, however,
which should be considered carefully
before petitions are signed in favor
of its adoption. 1t is the noisies. ma
terial used for paving purposes, in
this particular SURPRISING brick, as
the continuous body of the Blome plan
enables it to better carry the sound
waves than do the bricks, which are
separated by interstices, which serve
to break these waves. Another Sc
rious objection to the material is the
character of it's surface. Even with
the grooves which are used on the
structure, the surface becomes easily
coated with ice, and the difficulty of
even walking on the sidewalks when
they are covered with ice should be
a convincing argument against the
use of this same surface construction
in the streets.
AS paving material it has been ex-
perimented with only ON limited
scale, and its real merits can not be
determined from it's actual use. The
concern which is seeking the con-
tract in this city has been engaged
in the paving business about four
years, and the merits of a paving
material can only be judged by COM
parison after a period of use of at
least ten years.
The Evening Times is not uneasy
about the peculiarities of the Blome
bid, which practically enables the
company to receive a much larger
price than appears on the surface,
realizing that the city council is am
ply able and sufficiently alert to pro-
tect the public's interest in this par
ticular. But the enormous cost of the
paving and the need Of the best use
Of the judgment of the citizens inter-
ested in the signing of petitions for
the one or the other kind would de-
mand that this experimental mate
rial be carefully investigated before
being endorsed
