FARGO'S FAIR GRAFT.

Grand Forks up to this time has re-
NAMED silent on the state fair mat
ter so far as it affected the city of
Fargo, realizing that much that had
been done by that city in the efforts
to establish and maintain fair in
compliance with the provisions of the
law enacted by the legislature OF 1905,
was not in accordance with the letter
of the law, and had been largely
matter of grating the state, to put
the matter even mildly. But since
Fargo has challenged this city in the
matter, it is nothing more than JUS
tice to the people of the state that
they should know the inside truth.
This can be best illustrated by COM
parison of some of the conditions at
Fargo with those of Grand Forks.
Grand Forks decided to the state for
the use of the state fair association
seventy-six acres of land, and placed
the value on the same at $10,500. This
included the grading of the grounds,
culverts, we'll and we'll house, closets
and toilets, and electric light plant.
Fargo turned over to the state for the
use of the association in that city
seventy acres of land which it listed at
and received credit from the state for
$S,659.75. Fargo then charged the
state for placing on this land improve
ments as follows: Grading grounds
$2,277.90; water and sewers $531; cul-
verts $446.40; we'll and we'll house
$260.93; closets and toilets 1862; cleo
trio light plant $1,622.97. The cost of
the fair grounds to the state in Grand
Forks was s1O,5OO, while six acres less
ground with the same improvements
at Fargo cost the state $13,70S.S5.
This result is reached by adding the
items above to the cost of the land.
Nor is this all the graft which has
been worked by Fargo. The race
track in this city was charged to the
state at $773,9S, while that at Fargo
was charged at $2,27790. The person.
al property of the Fargo association
was listed to the state at $1,724.75;
that of Grand Forks-including the
same items-at $1,399.40. The ad-
vantage in favor of this city on the
race track is $1,503.92, and that of the
personal property, $325.16. These two
items added to the higher charges for
the items specified above by Fargo
makes total of s5,O37.93 more that
the fair grounds and buildings cost
the state at Fargo than the same
property with six acres additional
land cost at Grand Forks. The graft
which has been practiced at Fargo
may be judged by the difference in the
cost Of the race track which is
specified above. Yet with difference
in favor of Grand Forks of 81, 5O3.92-
a saving to the state of two-thirds-
horsemen who have raced on both
tracks say that of the Grand Forks
track is far superior to the one at

Christ Flegel has furnished the
Kuhn Messenger with his weather
representations for the coming sum-
mer. They are as follows: while l
have been asked my opinion OF the
weather for the coming summer, and
apparently a large number of farmers
depend on my predictions in prefer
ence to others, my opinion is as fol-
lows: During the month of April and
up to May 18th it will be fairly dry.
After May 18th We will have heavy
shower from tho east. From June
10th to 14th another rain period and
heavy showers from the east. July
I'd to 4th heavy rains from the east.
On the whole, for the season the rain
fall will be some less than last year,
but there will be plenty for a good
crop" Mr.. Flegel knows as much
about the weather as anyone else,

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL IL. 1907.

In the suit which has been brought
by Fargo to delay the payment of the
appropriation to this city for the pres
ent fair, it need only be said that
every charge in the bill is absolutely
without foundation For instance, it
is charged that the property which
was turned over to the state by the
Grand Forks State Fair association
was encumbered to the extent of So
600, and that this invalidates the fair.
There is nothing in the law to indicate
such condition even in the most re-
mote manner. The law required the
association to turn over to the state
property to the value of at least $780,
900. The inventory which was filed
with the state officials at that time
gives the value of the property by
separate items as s30,01534. On this
there was mortgage of $4,000. The
commission appointed by the state to
accept the title to the property did so
in accordance with the provisions of
the law, and there is no recourse for
the distressed of Fargo even if the
law required the property to be clear
of membranes which it does not.
Grand Forks turned over the 100000
required by the state over and above
the membranes and the title was
accepted.
Another charge of the Fargo asso-
citation is that the Grand Forks asso-
citation does not show any income from
race entries. The truth of the matter
is that Fargo by fictitious bookkeep-
ing has attempted to prove to the
people of the state that it received a
much larger amount from this source
than it really did. The association
in this city, in making up its books
charged the winner of the purse with
the entrance fee and deducted this
amount from the purse, and reported
the amount of money for which a
voucher was issued. Fargo made these
same entries show all the entrance
fees as income and attempted to prove
to the people of the state that it had
a large income from this source when
in fact it had nothing.
One reason why Fargo is making
such desperate effort to defeat the
appropriation for this city this year
is the fact that it realizes that it must
do something to save itself from ruin.
When it erected the buildings for the
fair it overdrew the money which was
available for that purpose by approx
mately $4,000, and for this indebted
ness it issued warrants which are now
held by the business people of Fargo.
Should the fair never be in a position
to pay these warrants they are worth
less, because the state specifically
declares that it is not in any manner
responsible for any Indebtedness con-
tracted by the association at either
place. But if the purpose of the Fargo
association can be accomplished and
the fair ultimately be taken to that
city it hopes to be able to make suffi-
cient money out of the exposition to
pay this Indebtedness. 1t is the hold
ers of this worthless security who are
using the irresponsible secretary of
the association to pull their chestnuts
from the fire in the present suit insti-
tuted by the Fargo association to him
der and delay the carrying out Of the
state program in this city.
