With great care the wrecking crew

CIVIC PRIDE.

It is the earnest desire of THE
HERALD to do something worth
while every day for the good peo-
pie of Brownsville. The material
prosperity of people is oftentimes
believed to be the most important
factor in the life Of a community,
vet material prosperity without
that precious boon health, which
is also the mother of good morals,
is nothing but dross. We are proud
of Brownsville and desire to help
in the upbuilding of the city We
believe it is destined to become d
great city and are anxious that the
foundations be we'll laid. We be-
aieve you posses civic pride and
earnestly empress you with the
necessity for spreading such a
wholesome possession. The author
zties have made efforts to clean up
the city, screen cistern oil pools
of water, cut weeds aud gather to-
gether the worst breeding places of
insect pests-oid cans. Clean up
your yard now, and then with the
consciousness of a clean bill of
health, you may talk with your
reighbor about civic righteousness.
Then work for a pure water sup
ply for your city. ALI these things
mean a better city, happier peo-
pie and incidentally material pros
perity.

4 TRICK GROWERS MEET
ING.

The action of General Passenger
AGENT Doherty of the St. Louis
brownsville & Mexico Railroad
IN calling together the people IN
ferested in the truck industry IN
the coast country, is characteristic
of the man. There is no toll or
effort too severe for Mr.. Doherty
when the welfare of the coast
country is concerned, and the
truck industry is one that affects
our welfare. With that shrewd-
aers that has won for him success,
he sees that the permanence OF the
truck growing industry can only
be obtained by organization and
concerted action. In other sec
&ions organization has brought or
der out of chaos; it has made fall
ures attain success; and by united
work obtained reliable information
and better results in the market
than any one Individual could
hope to get. We urge upon all
those connected with this import
ant industry to grasp the helping
hand extended by Mr.. Doherty.
The eminent scientists who will be
there to greet all who attend the
meeting, will repay you thous-
and fold by the knowledge you
will gain from their addresses.
This is the day of organization
and it is up to the Rio Grande
truck grower to join the process
sion.

Lacrosse, Wis, March 29.-Sensa-
tonal revelations, involving many men
and women prominent in church and
social circles, have followed the anti
vice crusade inaugurated by the minis
tiers of the city. Private detectives
were employed to secure evidence, and
as result it was found that many re-
ligious leaders were among the fire.

ing to the sensational discoveries it
is likely that the ministers will stop
the crusade. fearing that further pub
hcity would wreck the social system
of the city.

in the case of Walter Hieston. the

today before Chief Justice Clabaugh Of

directed to show cause why they should
not turn over to Receiver John r.

New York, March 29.-The Theta M
Epsilon fraternity began a two days
session at the Hotel Aston today. The
purpose of the meeting is to reorganize
the present system of government of
the order without departing from the
original object of its founders. The
growth of the fraternity in the thirty
seven years of it's existence has made
this step necessary. Plans for more
complete control of the national Or
ganization are being considered and
will probably be adopted. This is the
first general convention held by the
members of the fraternity since its
founding in 1870.

AN ANT|-SU|CIDE BUREAU
Salvation Army Will Help Persons
Borne Down by Weights of
DeSpOndency.

Eyes, we have started an anti-suicide
bureau, il such you want to call it,"
stated local Salvation Army worker
this morning to an Evening Times re-
porter. I'm most cities the Salvation
Army branch receives commission
for the establishment of a separate or
ganization which then devotes its en-
tire time to that line OF work. In a
town the size of Grand Forks there Is
no need for separate division, for we
tend to all the respondent cnes in our
own way"
The idea originated in London, Eng
land. short time ago under the lead
ership of General Booth. when it was
found to be of much benefit to the
weary and lonely mortals, and since
that time bureaus have been started in
many cities of the United States as a
branch of the Salvation Army.

Gustav Holmquist, the famous basso
who has been engaged by the directors
of the Grand Forks Oratoria society
to sing the solo parts for the bass
at the coming May music festival to
be held in this city on May Is and 16,
will be accorded a great welcome by
North Dakota music lovers and the
management of the festival is daily
receiving compliments for securing the
noted solOist.
Gustav Holmquist within the last
few years, has made for himself an
enviable place among the ablest bassos
of the United States. Possessing i
voice of exceptionally rich, sympathet-
lie quality, of great power and of wide
range, he is peculiarly fitted for every
kind of public concert work and es-
pecially for oratorio and festival per-
formances.
His successes with the leading Choir
al societies of the country, as the
bass soloist in Handels Messiah"
Haydn's Creation" or Mendelssohn's
Elijah" prove him an oratorio sing
Ell par excellence.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-03-29

Several years ago when the North
western Sangerfest was held at Sioux
Falls, S. D., Mr.. Holmquist was en-
gagged as the leading soloist. As a
testimonial to his great voice and ar
tistic handling of it he was again en-
gagged as leading soloist by the same
organization last year at the Saenger-
fest held in La Crosse, Wis. Many
Grand Forks people heard him at
these times and are all loud in their
praises of him.
Mr.. Holmquist has also sung with
the leading choral societies in the
United States. such as Philharmonic
club of st. Paul, Apollo club of Chi
cago and choral clubs at Rockford,
Ill.,, Boston, Mass. Memphis, Tenn,
and elsewhere.
That the directory of the Grand
Forks Oratorio society are engaging
soloists of Mr.. Holmquist's class
speaks fair of the musical ideal they
have In mind for the society, and also
ensures to them the support of all
music loving people not only of this
city but all over the state.
