CONTROVERSY OVER
THE DATES Of
FAIRS
Fargo Claims to Have Made
Selection of Week Named
by State Association.
JULY % TO 26 ARE DAYS
Grand Forks Association Was
Not Notified of Fargo !
Dates Soon Enough.

A slight dispute has arisen between
the officials Of the fair association of
Cass county and the State Fair as
ISOLATION of Grand Forks on the mat
ter of dates.
On the afternoon of Dec. 81 meet
ing Of the executive committee of the.
Grand Forks State Fair association
was held, at which time the week of
July % to 26 was selected as the date
for the 1907 fair. The committee pub
lished these dates and some five or
six hours later, received a letter from
Secretary Wilson of the Cass County
Fair association saying that July % to,
26 had been selected by them as the.
dates for their fair.
On Dec. % A. I. Hunter wrote to
Mr.. Wilson asking what action had
been taken, and not receiving a reply.
the committee met three days after
the letter was written and decided up-
on dates.
1nasmuch as the state fair officials
had not been notified of the dates sell
ected by Cass county, they do not feel
disposed to make a change. The Far
go people claim to have selected their
dates something like a month ago.
The matter, however, will be taken up
at once as to have the fairs on con-
fiicting dates would not be satisfac-
tory to either association.

school. While the district was short
OF funds at present, he states that it
was his opinion that the embarrass-
ment was but temporary. The matter
before the board was a hard one to
decide he said, and he believed that
IL would be preferable to rent halls
and church vestrys in which to place
the children, rather than to erect the
building on the Central school ground
site.
William Spriggs had the same opini-
on OF the matter that Mr.. Clifford had,
he stated that It seemed only a mat
ter of funds. He believed the best
solution Of the matter was the erec-
ton of small grade school house
near the Central school.
Tracy R. Bangs, who last evening
retired as a member Of the board, said
few words on the subject, stating
that he was opposed to the Central
site, and he gave several reasons for
his position.
Several members of the board ex-
pressed their views, after which
motion was passed authorizing the
committee on grounds and buildings
to have plans drawn for an eight-room
school house, while President Bacon
was given power to name a special
committee of which he was to be a
member, to investigate the site PROPOSE
ton and make report at the next
board meeting.
Two new members were appointed
by the board, James Dinnie being
named to succeed Dr. A. A. Western
In the Fifth ward, and F. w. Wilder
as the member from the new Seventh
ward. Both of these gentlemen took
their seats at the meeting. AS a re-
suit of the appointment of these two
members, Tracy Bangs, member at
large was retired.
The resignation of Miss Helen
Prindeville as teacher was accepted,
and the usual grist of bills were al
lowed.
AS a result of the election of the
two new members, a change in COM
mittees was made necessary, and they
were revised as follows by President
Bacon:
Teachers and Schools-Sorley, Nor
man. Mcdonald, Bacon.
Buildings and Grounds-Norman,
Sorley, Mcdonald, Dinnie.
Fuel-Redick, Norman, Wilder.
Purchasing-Redick, Dinnie and
Wilder.
Auditing-McDonald, Norman. Red

WEATHER BETTER.
RAILROADS ARE
TIED Up
Heavy Snow Causes All Kinds
of Trouble for the Trains
in the State.
WILL WARM UP SOON
Says the Forecast-Blizzaro
Causes Wreck at Larimore
Last Night.

The storm that has been raising
havoc throughout this portion of the
state for two days has let up.
The storm, however, tied up the
railroads in good shape, and on
branch lines efforts to push trains
through have been abandoned until
the lines can be cleared off.
AS a result of the storm, last night
at Larimore the Oriental Limited,
west bound ran into the caboose at.
tached to a snow pillow. The men in
the caboose managed to escape un-
hurt, although the car was badly
smashed up, and the engine was some
what disabled. 1t is reported that
w. J. Murphy, mail clerk had his
arm injured. The line was tied up
for about two hours. The snow pillow
was going out ahead of the Oriental,
and had made short stop. The en-
gineer of the passenger train did not
see the caboose until he ran into it.,
the blizzard being almost binding.
On the Northern Pacific, passenger
train No. z, due in Wednesday morn
ing at 8 o'clock arrived last night at
about 1880, while the south bound
train, which left Winnipeg yesterday
afternoon at o'clock did not reach
the city until 1890 this morning,
drawn by double header. The north
bound train today went through
about two hours and half late.
The Great Northern is doing every.
thing possible to clear the tracks. The
Hannah branch line has been tied up
since yesterday, but rotary out there
today will clean it up. The Walhalla
branch is tied up also. The train to
Fargo this morning vas not sent out
from Larimore. Train 6, due in las,
evening arrived this morning, and
Train Two due yesterday at noon ar
rived at 6 o'clock this morning. The
other trains are running about on
time.
With the present weather continu-
ing, the Great Northern expects to
have everything running again tomor.
row.
The weather man says that warmer
weather is coming, and continuation
of the tie-up is very improbable.

CUT OUT RENEGAOES
Fargo Dems Ask Governor
Burke to Appoint no Insur-
gent Repubs.
Special to The Evening r,m...

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 3.-The demo-
Gratis of this city have made a petition
to Governor Burke in which they ad-
wise and request of him that in making
his appointments to Office, he confine
the favors entirely to the ranks of the
democratic party, including no insur-
gent republicans.
The contention made is that the ap-
pointment only of rock-ribbed demo-
Gratis will have the effect of building
up strong organization, while, If in
surgents were to be recognized, the
condition produced would be some
what wabbly, and not conducive to
the permanent good OF the democrat
tic party.

HAVE COMPLIED WITH Law
East Grand Forks Brewery Has
Labels Telling What is in
Product.

The East Grand Forks brewery in
forms The Evening Times that they
have complied with the provisions of
the national pure food law relative to
the placing of labels on bottles and
casks of liquor showing the contents
thereof. The label shows the percent
age of alcohol in the beverage. The
claim was made that until these labels
are placed on the bottles and casks,
they cannot cross the Red river into
North Dakota, it being claimed that
it would be violation of the national
pure food law.

about him. The Crystal authorities
stated that they knew of his parents
but stated that he did not belong at
that place. To Judge Hassell he ad-
mitted that he was "off" and reiter.
ated his story about wanting his mind
read. He claims that Miss Esther
Cleveland, daughter Of ex-President
Cleveland, is in love with him and
has been running all over the world
for him and that she is now in this
city. He thinks he was divinely ap-
pointed to deliver the Norwegians
from the Swedes in a contest between
these two nations which was pro-
phesied years ago. He will be turned
over to the Minnesota authorities as
soon as the requirements of the law
can be complied with.

DAUGHTERF|NDSHER
MOTHER DEAD
IN BED
Miss Ada Brown Makes Startl-
ing Discovery on Her
Return.
FIFTEEN MINUTES
No Inquest Will be Held-oc.
Cured at Larimore Last
Evening.

Her mothers lifeless body was the
sight that met Miss Ada Browns eyes
last night when she returned to the
home after an absence of but fifteen
minutes. The Browns live at Lari-
more, and Mrs. Brown had bee..
slightly i'll for several days, but her
condition was not regarded as seri-
Gus.
Miss Ada Brown who is we'll known
in Grand Forks, had left the house to
go down town to purchase tap bell,
to be used by her mother when she
wished to call any one to the room.
She had been gone only fifteen min
utes, but when she returned her
mother was dead. Death was due to
heart failure. No inquest will be held,
as death was clearly natural one.
Mrs. Henry G. Brown had lived in
Larimore about year. She was 60
years old, and leaves six daughters
and three sons. She was the proprie-
tress of the Columbia rooming house.

HELD IMPORTANT MEETING
Committee Appointed to Investigate
the Site Proposition-Plans Will
+ Be Prepared at Once for
School Building.

Discussion Of the location of the pro.
posed new grade school house took up
a larger part of the time at the session
of the board of education held late
yesterday afternoon and evening. At
the end Of the discussion, the matter
was referred to committee of three
President Bacon to be a member there
of-which committee will make a
thorough investigation into the site
proposition and make report at the
next meeting of the board.
The matter was brought before the
board by a motion being passed to
reconsider the location of the school,
which at the last meeting it was de-
cided should be located on the corner
of Fifth street and International aven-
ne on the Central school house
grounds. A committee of two, George
B. Clifford and William Spriggs, rep
resenting the board of directors of the
Commercial club was present. This
committee was appointed for the pur-
pose of giving to the board of educa-
ton the views held by the directors OF
the Commercial club.
The first matter brought up was a
discussion as to the needs of the city
for new school. Mr.. Norman gave
figures on attendance, and showed that
some relief was necessary, and that
the relief was needed at the Central
school. The high school has been
growing with such rapidity as to
crowd out the grades, and the only
way feasible looking forward to
relief of the situation was the building
of another grade school. 1t was
agreed that new school was neces-
sary, and that immediate action should
be taken.
George B. Clifford, representing the
board of directors of the Commercial
club, objected to the location of the
new school on the Central grounds for
several reasons. He stated that
should the building be erected there,
it would mean that about 1900 pupils
would be on the block, and that in
case of fire, it would be Very danger
GUS. He also stated that street cars
were coming, and that when they do
come, there would be a car
line on two sides of the block,
which would also be dangerous
to the little children. He did
not believe that the large and small
children should be placed in the same
