the counties in the state, asking them
to come to Grand Forks on January

The affairs of the ONCE Of the coun-
~ Judge, clerk Of court, auditor and
states attorney are more or less con-
nected, and much good can be de-
rived from a discussion of ways Of
transacting business. "
The reason for the calling Of this
meeting Is the recommendation to the
legislature Of the passage of certain
laws. The associations have a num-
Der Of matters to bring up. and by
united action, It is expected that many
defects in the. laws can be remedied.
The visitors will be taken care Of
in royal style. The commercial club
rooms are to be used in entertaining
them, and If this proves to be made
quate, the Metropolitan opera house
will be secured for the business ses-
sions. It is very probable that the
meeting will last two days.
The commercial club will do every
thing it can to make the stay of the
delegates pleasant. Every courtesy
will be extended them. The gentle
men on the committee appointed by
President Lander are all hustlers, and
will leave nothing undone that would
tend to make the stay of the visitors
more pleasant.

THEY MAY ORGANIZE
STATE EXCHANGE

Committee to Look Into
the Matter.

James Dinnie, George w. Bucking-

have been made members of commit
tee appointed at Fargo Wednesday

is the investigation of the advisability
of organizing a state builders AMI

will be called.
The appointment of this committee
was made at the meeting Of the
Builders and Traders Exchange of
Fargo, which on Wednesday evening
ibanQuetted about seventy men engag-
ed in the business from the various
parts of North Dakota. The plan of
organizing throughout the state was
taken up in several addresses, and re-
suited in the appointment of the COM
.mittee.
The organization would be composed
Of all men engaged in the building
business, and in the supplying of
building material. That such an Or
ganization would be of much good to
the members is the general opinion.
Needed legislation would be recon-
mended to the legislature, and in many
other ways, the association would
prove a benefit to the builders and
traders

8. Larson Orbak, proprietor of the
Christiana hotel, against whom suit
for $4,000 damages has been started
by L. Arneson, was a caller at the
Evening Times Office today. The plain
tiff in the action alleges that the de-
PENDANT slandered him in that he stat
ed that he (Arneson) was out every
night rioting. According to Mr.. Or
bak, Arneson owed him for three
weeks board, and it was when he
asked him for this that the CONVEX

Arneson had made the statement that
he could board at the Christiana all
winter without paying his board. Or
bak also claims that Arneson secured
his clothes from the room in the hotel
by stealth, leaving the hotel without
paying the bill,

The Ordinance Prescribing
Hack Rates Was Vetoed
by Mayor Duis.
ANOTHER ONE PASSED
Its First Reading at Meeting
Held This Afternoon in
Chambers.
ANOTHER ONE PASSED

At special meeting of the city
council held this afternoon in council
chambers, Mayor Duis announced that
the ordinance recently passed by the
council prescribing rates that shall be
charged by hackmen of Grand Forks
had been vetoed by him. A new hack
ordinance was Immediately introduced
and passed its first reading.
Mayor Duis gave as his reason for
vetoeing the ordinance that there was
no penalty clause attached to 1t. In
the new ordinance this clause is add
ed, and it provides that each hackman
violating the ordinance shall pay a
fine of not more than $40 for his first
offense, and on the second offense his
license shall be forfeited and a fine
not less than $40 nor more than $25
shall be imposed.
The ordinance creating new paw
ing district was read a second time
and placed on final passage.

become completely exhausted. The
passengers cared for him the best way
they could, and that man is out on
the road again now, performing his
duty to the very best of his ability.
"The complaints Of the people in
general on the railroad service are
unwarranted. The railroads are do
ing every thing possible, and the
faithful trainmen are working. night
and day in an endeavor to bring the
trains through. The people have no
right to complain and knock and
the sooner they realize It the better.
I am sick and tired of hearing the ever
lasting strains from the anvil chorus.
The trainmen are up against a con-
dition and are meeting it in the best
possible manner.
There is another incident that
came to my notice several days ago
at Doyon. The train became frozen
to the track, and for two hours every
member of the train crew worked
out in the cold in an endeavor to free
the train.
while fighting their way through
snow drifts, the trainmen, exposed to
the elements as they are, suffer ter
ribly. Frozen hands and feet are re-
ported regularly, and they are meet
ing with every kind of difficulty in do
ing their work.
"The trainmen perform their duty
with the same quickness and deci-
siveness that soldiers do. They de-
serve credit for the way they have
been working, and the people of North
Dakota should rise en- masse and take
off their hats to them.

TRAVELLERS DESERT ROAD.
Conditions Make it Impossible to Do
Any Business and So They
Come In.

The conditions throughout the state
resulting from the car shortage and
surplus amount of snow have resulted
in many Of the travelling men coming
in of the road. 1t is useless to make
the trips, as goods ordered weeks ago
have failed to, arrive as yet, and the
merchants will not place any more
orders until their previous orders have
been received. One travelling man
went around his route about Dec. z.
During the first part of this month
he paid another visit, and in many
places found that goods ordered on
his last trip had not been received.
This is rather discouraging to the
commercial traveller, and about the
only thing he can do is take rest.

and Prominent in Lodge
Circles.

E. E. Wells, northwest representa-
tive of the saddlery firm of Wallace,
Smith and company, with ileadquar-
tiers in Grand Forks, died at 9:35
Thursday morning at his home in st.
Cloud, MINI. after an illness of three
or four weeks with stomach trouble.
Albert Eugene Wells was born at
Johnston, Wis, on January 81, 1869,
so that he was 81 years of age. .He
engaged early in life in the saddlery
business, working for some years at
his trade in the city of Milwaukee and
finally accepting a position on the
road for the firm of Wallace, Smith &
Co., as travelling salesman. He came
to this territory about five years ago
and took up his residence in st. Cloud,
MINI. Since that time he has been
familiar figure and has wide circle
Of friends. The deceased was married
to Miss Mary Schimel on November 2,
1896. at Mason City, Iowa. To them
was born one daughter, Miss Gladys,
aged seven years. He is survived by
the widow and daughter and his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs: A. w. Wells, who
reside at st. Paul. Neb.,
Deceased was a member OF st.
Cloud Lodge, B. p: O. E., and st.
Cloud Council, u. c. T. He was one of
the most popular travelling men on the
road and was highly regarded in this
city as a citizen and neighbor. He
was sick about year ago with the
same ailment, but he recovered from
that siege and it was thought at the
time that he would have no more
trouble. He was taken down again,
however. about month ago and since
then had been declining rapidly. Dur
ing the past few days he was not
rational more than quarter Of the
time and it was all that the profess
sional nurse and those who attended
him could do to control him in his &C.
cute suffering. The parents of the de-
ceased have been communicated with
and plans for the funeral will not be
completed until they are heard from.

Continual Exposure
To The Elements
Tranmen in North Dakota Do Their Duty as Soldiers SAYS
N. B. Felton-Their Work is Commendable and
Citizens Should Appreciate It.
81 never saw soldiers more valiant
than the trainmen are in North Dakota

Il never saw soldiers more valiant
than the trainmen are in North Dakota
this winter"
That is what N. B. FELTON,, the we'll
known bank promoter who has been
travelling through North Dakota dur
ing the winter months said to an Even
ing Times reporter.
"The personal sacrafice made by the
railroad men is wonderful, the aver
age person fails utterly to realize the
conditions they meet. They perform
their duty to the best Of their ability,
enduring exposure to the elements,
and always doing every thing possible
to provide for the comfort of the pas
sengers in their charge"
"As an illustration of what the
railroad men are up against let me
relate one incident which occurred
Wednesday morning near Shawnee,
the small station Just west of Lari-
more. The train became stalled in a
snow drift, and for eight hours it was
impossible to move it. One of the
trainmen was sent back a half mile
in the biting cold, where he stuck to
his post during part of the early
morning and day. Alone on the
prairie, with the wind blowing almost
a gale, and the temperature about
forty degree below, this flagman per-
formed his duty.
This is only one of the many in
cidents that have come to my notice
during the winter. Recently a con-
ductor of the train on which I was
riding had hemorrhage. He had
been working day and night, and had
