EAST GRAND FORKS
DOES LARGE
BUSINESS
Zone Who Knows Tells of
Shipping By Jobbers Into
and Out of City.
RUST'S STATEMENTS
NOT BASED ON FACT
Duluth Jobber Would Make it
Appear That Little or no
Shipping is Done.
RUsT's STATEMENTS
NOT BASED ON FACT

May 10, 1907.
Evening Times Grand Forks:
In connection with the very promi-
nent item in your paper of recent date
regarding rates to Minnesota points,
wish you would permit me to give you
a few figures and facts along this line,
and trust you will give it the same
prominence you gave the Duluth ar
ticle.
1t is quite evident that Mr.. Rust is
very short-sighted, in so far as any,
thing outside of his personal interests
are concerned; it is also evident that
he does not want to know anything
about the business done at East
Grand Forks, in order that he may
have more confidence in his own argu-
ment, If it can be called that.
We admit East Grand Forks does
not commence to do the business Du-
luth does; we do not begin to do the
business we should do, because Du-
luth and the cities of more money and
influence than We have. use it at every
opportunity to further their own inter-
ests and knock ours. Is there any
good reason why the people Of this,
The Best Country in the State"
should be made to pay higher freight
rates simply to help out jobbers at
Duluth and other eastern points?
If the board of medical experts are
appointed as suggested in your valu-
able paper, fear their entire time and
attention can better be devoted to Mr..
Rust and his friends than to the ware
house commissioners. The fact that
money has been tied up in other
points to control the business that
belongs to East Grand Forks should
not in any way interest the warehouse
commission; look at the map or a
visit to our city should convince any
fair-minded jobber that this is the
place for him to be located if he
wants the business in this part of the
country-he would be in a better po-
sition to compete with North Dakota
towns and eastern terminal points and
give the people what belongs to them
and what the warehouse commission
intends that they shall have, regard
less of Mr.. Rust's opinion in the mat
ter.
The North Dakota-Minnesota line
city jobbers have worked hand in
hand in the past to try and get COM
modify freight to their customers at
a figure that would enable them to get
out from under the clutches of the
"big interests who are SO sore now,
and the fact that they are shipping
away Isl where the shoe pinches Mr..
Rust, and We feel that the figures will
bear us out. We will take period
of one year. from April l, 1906, to
April I, 1907, and during this time
there was shipped into and used by
East Grand Forks jobbers, 1885 cars
of freight, all classes land during the
same period East Grand Forks
shipped out 1882 cars, yet Mr.. Rust
says there is not dollars worth of
jobbing business done in East Grand
Forks.
The Red river valley has been
stricken in former years with the
rust" and We hope We will not be up
against a repetition of former years.
Sincerely yours,
One who knows what the jobbing in
terests of East Grand Forks are.

DEAD MAN FELL OFF
TRAIN BUT LATER
REVIVED
Louis Hartzog Jumped From
Oriental Limited Last
Night.

Sunday afternoon at. o'clock when
Oriental Limited No. 2 from the east
had reached point near Arvilla, the
first station east of Larimore. Louis
Hartzoz of Verndale, Mimi, a spas
modic sufferer from peculiar afflic-
ton, stumbled to his feet, CROPPED his
way to the door of the smoker and
stumbled out and of into the ditch.
The train was going at terrific speed
and the mute witnesses of the accident
were stupefied with horror.
The news of the accident was i'm
mediately communicated to the train
crew and the engineer was signalled
to apply the brakes. However, the
train could not be brought to stand
still until it had gone a mile or more
When it was finally backed to the
scene, Hartzog was found lying in the
ditch just recovering from his stupor
Aside from dislocated shoulder, he
was unhurt.
The injured man was later re-
moved to the Deaconess hospital and
he told of his plight to an Evening

said Hartzog. II am sufferer with
some inexplicable malady which total

The nurses at the Deaconess state
that Hartzog had another of his spells

sharp word from the nurse, however,
sent him back to his slumbers. Hart

of the Aneta branch of the Great

distance to Seattle from st. Paul some
forty miles, will not be transferred but
will continue to make Grand Forks a
stopping point. The rumor referred
to stated that Trains 3 and 4, the
Puget Sound expresses would replace
Orientals, running through Grand

Larimore and intermediate towns TO
Devils Lake will suffer, that is unless
the Great Northern decided to extend
the runs of Ill and 112.
Grand Forks business men and
citizens in general will greet the above
news with no small pleasure as there
was an apprehension lest the limiteds
be taken off this run. There would
have been a consequent loss of bust
ness and loss of railroad supremacy.
The Aneta line will be finished to-
day, and whatever changes are
scheduled will be made within the
next week. 1T is almost certainty
that trains 3 and which now swerye
at Larimore, will be sent over the new

COMMERCIAL CLUB
WANTS THROUGH
RATES
Hopes to Secure For North
Dakota Points Benefit of
Minnesota Law.

The Grand Forks Commercial club
proposes to secure for North Dakota,
If possible. the benefit of the Mime
sofa 2-cent rate on passenger trains.
With this end in view, Secretary
Bachelor has been busy the last few
days securing information on the pro-
position. He has written to the inter-
state commerce commission.
Under the present arrangement,
people travelling from North Dakota,
in order to secure the benefit of the
Minnesota law. must buy their tickets
to East Grand Forks, and there pur-
chase another ticket, having to re-
check their baggage.
The Commercial club wants the
railroads to sell through ticket from
North Dakota points to Minnesota
points, giving the Dakotans the bene-
fit of the new law.
Efforts will be made to settle the
proposition by correspondence or con-
ference. il possible. Otherwise. COM
plant will be made to the interstate
commerce commission.
