ELkS HAD A MERRY TIME
AT CROOKSTON LAST night

that about fourteen members of the
Grand Forks B. P. o. e. went to
Crookston to liven things up little.
Besides fourteen members from Grand
Forks, there were large number of
Elks from all over the northern Sec
ton of Minnesota. There were old
bucks and fawns, and just plain Elks
In the crowd that gathered in the
Crookston Elks rooms, and the way
they did things during the night,
wasn't slow a little bit.
Matters went off just as anticipated,
every thing running along just as
smoothly as the gas bill when you and
the family are away visiting in Flori-
da. From the minute the fireworks
were set off, and the slow siz of the
fuse was heard, there was something
doing. Not until the gray streaks
of dawn began to show in the eastern
sky did the fun-makers begin to dis
perse. 1t was night of joy, and the
Crookston Elks proved themselves to
be the candy" entertainers.
The following Grand Forks Elks
were at Crookston: NJ Stanchfield, c.

GRAND FORKS MAN
HAS NARROW
ESCAPE
John Cumming Has Experience
in Los Angeles, Thrilling to
Say the Least.
AN EXPLOSION OF GAS
Was Within 200 Feet of Blind
ing Flash-Covered With
Dust and Crime.
AN EXPLOSION OF GAS

One of Grand Forks prominent citi-
zens, John Cumming, sojourning for
the winter at Los Angeles, Cal, figured
rather too closely for safety's sake, IN
gas explosion in the California city,
which wiped out the lives of four per-
sons and seriously injured twenty-nine.
Mr.. Cumming was within 200 feet of
the brick building at 114-116-11S West
Second street which was demolished,
at the time the horrible catastrophe
took place and had the fates held of
but a few seconds, Grand Forks peo-
pie might now be mourning the death
Of one Of her pioneer settlers.
The building which was demolished
was occupied by a restaurant and
tailor shop and in the explosion Of
the escaping gas every occupant was
either killed outright or badly injured.
The disaster occurred on the 14th of
the month and was caused by alleged
neglect on the part of the gas COM
pany in repairing leaks.
Mr.. Cumming, who is staying at the
Ottawa house run by John White, an
other former Grand Forks man, was
walking down the street toward the
building when the binding flash and
roar belched forth. The jar threw him
from his feet and covered him with
dust and other debris. He says the
force Of the explosion was felt for
many blocks. Glass in the st. Louis
hotel across the street was shattered
in thousands Of pieces, while the
shock was sufficient to shake nearly
the entire city.
Summed In Few Words.
The explosion cost the lives of four
persons and the dead and dying lay
for hours in the ruins before they
could be recovered.
"a binding flash of white light, the
flame from which singed the clothing
and hair and blistered the exposed
flesh. of those within score. of feet of
1t, a noise like a sudden monstrous
clap of thunder, followed Immediately
with the roar of splitting timbers and
falling walls, above which could be
distinguished the shrieks and groans
of many victims"-that, in brief, is the
story of the explosion.
The roof of the building was blown
upward, only to fall back on weakened
walls, forcing itself through the Sec
ond floor down into the restaurant and
tailor shop beneath, while the outside
walls left standing rocked and swayed.

LAB0RERS WILL Be SCARCE
Shortage Of Eight Thousand Men in
Labor Market Predicted for
This Year.

The labor market will be 5000 men
short this year, according to the con-
sentative estimate of the manager of
one of the employment offices. who has
had ample opportunity to study the la
Dor situation for the past years.
(. IF the situation is to be relieved"
ne says. it must come from the east
and the south. The supply of good la
borers for which this section once
stood in class by itself has been re-
duced by the great demands made up
on it by the west, where numbering,
railroad construction and general de-
velopment OF new country has re-
quired the services of thousands of
mon each year. A great percentage of
our best laborers, suca as station and
rock men, have been drawn into the
far west, and most of them are there
today. They do not return, the tend
ency being to ever work toward the
setting SUM-"

Dakota.
Ed. Edwards of the LagOra Fee CT
gars, has the following poem in re-
cent number of The Crescent and Grip
of Saint Paul:
Climate in the west is fair,
southern states have balmy air
But none Of them compare
With Dakota.
They may grow the fruit so sweet,
That we all love to eat.
But they cannot grow the wheat,
When the winds begin to blow,
AS 1t f1urries in tho snow,
To the south and west some go
From Dakota.
But they all come back again
When the spring times gentle rain
Fails upon the growing grain
To Dakota.
Then comes wind, rust and hail,
Brokers say our crops will fail,
But In spite Of all their tale,
Thrives Dakota.
And the merchants, how they buy,
Whether weather'S wet or dry
And the simple reason why,
It's Dakota.
OF all the states that natures blessed,
In the happy golden west,
Travelling men they love it best,
Old Dakota.
Let the rust come and the hail
Our old state will never fail
And we love to tell the tale
OF Dakota

SCHOOLS HOLD washington DAY
EXERCISES THIS AFTERNOON IN CITY
Some Fine Programs Had Been Arranged for by the Teach
ers-T Tomorrow is Legal Holiday Throughout the
United States.

The birthday of George Washington,
father of his country" was celebrated
today in the various schools of the
city, as tomorrow, Feb. %, is a legal
holiday in all the educational institu-
tions. In the high school the exercises
were short but most impressive. The
opening address was made by Klein
VanAlstine and the remainder of the
program was as follows:
"Why we celebrate Washington's
birthday"-Ira Oertli. "Washington's
personal characteristics'-
Anderson. "The aid of France"-Aikin
Cunningham. Washington the states
man"-Bert Crazy. "The American
spirit of patriotism''-William Green
leaf.
Other Schools.
In the Belmont school, the two eight
grades combined and the exercises
were conducted by the pupils of Miss
Perkins room. The program consisted
Of music, debates, readings, recitations
and violin solos.
The Belmont Seventh grade also mad
appropriate exercises in Miss Young's
room. Declarations, songs and d.
alogues constituted the afternoons
celebration.
The Winship school had suitable
programs calculated to inculcate the
spirit of patriotism into the minds Of
the rising yonng Americans.

last night took more money from the
town than it will cost to run these
meetings the entire three weeks.
He went to see a lawyer seven
times and each time invited him to
church and was put of by this lawyer
with bran new lie each time. At
last the lawyer came to service and
the third night was converted and quit
lying. Some one asked the mother of
Wesley why she told Charles twenty
times to do a certain thing? Because,
said she, nineteen times is not
enough"
Garnet Kneel.
This young man came running, and
kneeQed and humbled himself. We
don't kneel any more. We are afraid
we will spoil the creases in our pants
The women, too, are dressed so they
cannot kneel in prayer.
In a certain church twenty church
members were converted in one night.
Church members needed attention
sometimes. He was glad to. see the
young people come to church. When
an old person came the unit was saved,
but when a boy was saved whole
multiplication table was started in
force. This young man had muca but
was not satisfied. Why do you rush
after wealth?
At the conclusion of the sermon,
many people, including boys and girls
went forward. Evangelist Hunt ex-
pressed Joy that the young folks, as
well as older people, had indicated
desire to serve God.
At the Baptist Church.
A strong chorus led the singing at
the Baptist church last night. Rev.
Alexander Davidson conducted the
service and sang for a solo the we'll
known song entitled, Eternity" but
the expression he put into it made It a
new piece to all listeners. He took a
text from Mark 1886, what shall it
profit man If he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul" He
said that this text stated one of the
great problems of life-the profit in
serving self or God. There is great
difference in the way we pay attention
to the affairs of body and of soul. We
know two things-one is we are going
to die and the other that the issues of
the present go over into the future.
This word profit" does not refer to
money paid, or pleasure, or any other
earthly increment. The profit is spir-
itual. What can man get for his soul
out Of saving the world? We make a
fatal mistake when we underestimate
the value Of the soul.
After prayer, the choir sang "Only
a Sinner Saved by Grace" and at Mr..
Davidson's invitation the personal
workers went down into the audience
and some fourteen persons came to the
front deciding to follow Christ and
lead a Christian life.
