EXTEND Y. NJ. c. A.
WORK in STATE
FARGO COLLEGES ARE TO HAVE
A SECRETARY.
North Dakota Association May Be
Formed With State Officer to Pro-
mote the Excellent Work in the
Smaller Cities of the State.

Grand Forks, N d., May 25.-Presi-
dent Merriheld of the university Pres
ident Griffith of the Y. M. C. A., and
group of business and professional
men, met at the Y M. c. A. building
last night to confer with w. NJ Par
sons, the northwestern field secretary
for association work Mr. Parsons had
just come from trip in western Cam
ada, where he has been CO. cooperating
in establishing associations in the
larger cities west of Winnipeg.
Two questions were considered.
First, the need of a secretary to devote
his entire attention TO the Y M. G. A.
movement in the two colleges at Fargo
and the state university. All were
agreed as to the necessity of this. And
the men present were ready to back
the project financially. Mr.. Parsons
viii see President Worst and Dr. Wit
tum, and hopes for the same support
there. This movement win be of state
wide interest, as it touches the stud
ents from all parts OF the state. The
second proposition was with reference
to the employment of a state secretary
to promote the work in points like
Minot, Valley City, Devils Lake, Dick
inson and Bismarck While this met
with favor, 1t was urged that Mr.. Par
sons give time If possible to some OF
these points and establish work at a
few centers and that the state secre-
tary be called later 1t was reported
that one man had promised to give
$3.50 per year towards the budget for
state work with secretary for full
time.
The concensus of opinion was
strongly in favor of an advance move
ment and the assurances of personal
interest and substantial financial back
ing were most encouraging. Immed-
late steps will be taken to get a COM
petent young university graduate to
accept the secretaryship for the coll
lege and university work, one half
time to be given to Fargo and half to
the university. Assurance OF CO. opera
tion in the city movement were given
by Mr. Parsons.

Her "TROUSSEAu"
MORTON COUNTY COUPLES LbVE
AFFAIR HUMOROUS.
Beautiful German Maiden Tries to
Square Herself With Rejected suitor,
Who Secures Her Clothes and De-
cIines to Pay Her Any Wages.

Mandan, N. D., May 25.--A warning
to young women who lightly plight
their troth' and promise to marry
without considering that they might
desire to change their mind, is fur
nished in the amusing experience that
Barbara Dexer of Fort Rice township
is now going through. She lately re-
moved to this county with her brother
from the state Of Wisconsin. While in
Wisconsin shes had promised to marry
Herman Ensberg and who also recent
ly moved to this county On the
strength of the promise Ensberg pur-
chased and delivered to the prospec-
tive bride "trousseau" at an expense
to him of $40, and the wedding date
was set, but when the eventfill day ar
rived the young lady had changed her
mind and refused to be married.
This all happened in their native
state, and the young lady removed to
this country shortly afterwards. The
disappointed groom followed and took
iup a government claim and then de-
manded that the faint hearted one re-
turn lllHl TIE CLOTHES lie mas DOuBn[
for her, or the cash equivalent.
At this stage the brother took a
hand, and the matter was arranged to
the effect that the young lady should
perform the housework Of the young
bachelor on his claim, which was ad-
joining the brothers home, at the
agreed price of SO per week and that
she should work until the clothes were
paid for.
She had worked for five weeks when
the parties had quarrel and the hard
hearted, rejected lover, turned her out
after getting into his possession all the
clothes he had bought for her and re-
fused to pay any wages. In the mean
time the young lady has commenced an
action TO recover for her wages. and
the young man is attempting to get
a warrant for her arrest for obtaining
the clothes under promise of marriage
and then backing out. The parties are
young German people and the next
chapter is awaited with interest.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 13.-Advices
from Vancouver, the scene of the re-
cent race riots, state that the mayor
of Vancouver has warned the captain
Of the steamer Monteagle, which has
on board ia japanese, 149 Chinese
and al Hindus destined for this port,
that he would be unable to guarantee
a safe landing here because the I'M
ionists have expressed their deter
mination to resist the immigration of
any more Asiatic laborers.
The steamship authorities feared to
assume the risk and the vessel was
turned back to Victoria, where nearly
all of the Japanese were landed. Re
turning to Vancouver the dock was
rooed off for two blocks and heavily
guarded by company employees and
police and an attempt was made to
land the Hindus An immense crowd
had gathered and the officials were
afraid to let the Hindus face the
crowd alone. They were returned to
the ship. ...E.

CLOSE BUTTE MINES
Copper Properties There Will Be
Shut Down Indefinitely.


Scarcity of Fuel at Montana Town
Also Given as a Reason for Suspen-

Stock Follows Announcement.
New York, Sept 13.-The Amalga-
mated Copper company is about to
shut down it's mines in and about
Butte, Mont, for an indefinite period.
From an interest closely identified
with the company it was learned that
the suspension of operations is due
to overproduction and lack of demand
for copper and to some extent also to
the difficulties of obtaining adequate
supplies of fuel at Butte.
According to the authority for the
announcement there Is now surplus
supply Of 250,OOo,0o0 pounds of refined
copper in the United States. The pro-
duction of refined copper in Septem-
Der, he said, would be 100000 pounds
less than in August. The present

The Amalgamated Copper company
shares led a sharp decline on the
stock market, the stock selling down
to loss of almost points before
2:3O as compared with the previous
nights closing price. The days quo
tations on the stock were the lowest
in years. Henry H. Rogers, president
of the Amalgamated Copper company,

Rogers, announced in court in Boston
that Mr. Rogers would not be able to

RUMOR OF RECEIVERSHIP.
Heavy Decline in Stock of PhiIadeI.
phia Transit Company.

Philadelphia, Sept. 13.-The belief
is general that crisis is at hand in
the affairs of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company, which controls the
street railway facilities of this city.
For some time past there has been a
steady decline in the price of the
shares on the local Stock Exchange,
eliminating in a sudden break from
221a 10 1912 on Tuesday.
Wednesday the stock hung around
break of 81 a share to the lowest
price on record. This was accom-
panied by rumors that the company
cannot meet it's fixed charges and
that therefore a receivership will be
necessary.
There are 100000 shares of Phila-
defphia Rapid Transit stock outstand-
ing on which $4250 a share has been
paid Another assessment of $3.50 is
due within a few months and then
the stock will be full paid. At pres
ent the company is engaged upon
gigantic improvements involving the
construction of expensive elevated
and subway lines to cost many mil
lions and this work has been a drain
upon it's resources. The past year
showed a falling off in net earnings
ard there has been a public cutlery
against attempts to increase the in
