CEMETERY WILL Be
ENLARGED AND
IMPROVED
Fifteen Acres of Land Will Be
Purchased and Receiving
Vault Built.

The Grand Forks Cemetery associ-
alton held its annual meeting and
election of officers yesterday afternoon
in the Commercial club rooms and
though not largely attended the meet
ing was prolific in good results. Per-
haps the most important business
resolutions, each calling for needed
improvements at Memorial Park. One
resolution authorizes the directors to
purchase the fifteen acre tract lying
directly south of the present property
and the land will be plated as soon
as practicable. This purchase will
cost in the neighborhood Of $1,000 but
the money can be paid on easy terms
and kept up to date through the
monies accruing from the sale of lots.
Another Improvement of per-
manent nature provided for at the
meeting yesterday, was receiving
vault to cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000. The need for vault has been
recognized for a long time and the
experience of the past winter has
served to bring out the fact very
clearly. The structure will be OF an
artistic design in keeping with the
other improvements already consum
mated at Memorial Park.
AT yesterdays meeting the financial
status Of the association was looked
into and everything was found in
good shape. All current expenses have
been paid and there is money in the
bank. Many improvements in the way
OF driveways, trees. gates. etc.. have
been made and there is general feel
ing that the money has been we'll
spent.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI.

in this locality is durum. There will
no doubt be large acreage of fax
on account Of the lateness of the sea-
son, especially with farmers who have
spring blowing to do. With those who
were fortunate enough to have their
blowing all done last fall, the seeding
operations will he but a matter of q
week or so. Possibly the acreage of
barley and oats will also be increased
somewhat. Late, cold springs. are, as
rule, looked upon by the farmers Of
the western part of the state as favor
able for a big crop.
Wheat seeding in this section is fully
two weeks behind the schedule and It
is estimated that less than one-third
OF the seeding is done at this date.
Heavy frosts at night are interfering
with the work yet and seeding is pro-
crossing slowly. The acreage in this
county will be much less than last
year. This is especially true of the
hard wheat. In durum the acreage
will probably be larger and this is
true also of the later grains, fax, bar
ley and oats. Taking former years
of like weather conditions as a
criterion, the general prospects point
to a good crop as the soil il IN ex-
cellent condition for the seed.
starkweather, N. D., May 11.-wheat
seeding in this locality Is late this
year, weather conditions being very
unfavorable. May Z was really the
first day that permitted work all day
in the fields. Nearly all wheat land
was plowed last fall and farmers have
been narrowing, as much as possible
and will SOW wheat up to May Is to
20. At this time less than thirty per
cent of the wheat is sown.
Leeds, N. D., May 11.-Wheat seed
ing in this locality is at least two
weeks late. About 60 per cent of the
seeding is done. The acreage of
wheat will be about 10 per cent
smaller. There will be about the same
amount of durum wheat sown. About
10 per cent more fax and about 20
per cent more barley will be sown,
and about the same amount of oats as
last year.
Langdon, N. D.. May 11.-No seeding
has been done here yet, but with
favorable weather it may start in a
day or two.
The wheat acreage in this county
will not be over two-thdrds normal, in
fact that is true of all kinds of grain,
as the farmers will not have time 10
do the work.
The durum acreage will not be larg-
er than last year, II as large. As
much oats and barley as possible will
be put in, but the acreage will not
come up to last year owing to the
short time allowed for seeding.
So far as the condition of the soil
is concerned. there is no room for
complaint, but warmer weather is
needed for growth.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Grand Forks certainly has reason
to be proud Of the very efficient work
done in the public schools under the
general supervision of Superintendent
]. Nelson Kelly, an educator of much
recognized ability, as was evident
yesterday afternoon.
The large number of citizens pres
ent to listen to the competition in
oratorical work was of itself suffi-
Gent evidence that they take deep
interest in the schools. The drawing
exhibits were especially fine and
keen interest was manifested in this
work. Superintendent Kelly hopes to
be able to fit up a drawing or art
room in the near future, with the
latest drawing room tables and models
for class work. Our citizens do not
realize, however, the great work that
Is being done in the public schools,
for too many are so occupied with

JUB|LANT
At RAISE Of
WHEAT
Markets Are High, and Those
Who Have Held Grain Are
Realizing Much.

Wheat has been on the upward slide
for the last few days and the farmers
who were forced by the railroads last
year to keep their grain in storage
are beginning to smile at the i'll wind
which Is already blowing them good.
From the lowest point reached in the
Minneapolis market. which was 1878
cents in February, to 9Sss cents. the
quotations of the same market today.
the advance has been 1614 cents. This
increase has been steady though
rapid one, as the following prices will
show: April %, S0&; April %, Sly;
May &c. S31a; May 3. S6A. From this
point there was little advance till
May s. when S65s was reached. The
following day the price was SS7s, an
advance of cents, and 901a yester-
day. Today marks a record in that
the advance is from 90k to $685., an
advance of "a cents.

PARKING FOR BEAUTY.

Devils Lake is in position to Sc
cure beautiful park that will add
an untold amount of beauty to the
city. For several years an agitation
has been conducted which had for
its ultimate object the planting Of a
grove sufficient to form a park in
the rear of the railroad depot
That fact is merely a text upon
which to hang sermon. The greater
majority of the cities of this state
are so laid out, either Intentionally
or otherwise, that the railroad is in
full view of the rear ends of the
lots, which are generally embellished
by a goodly supply of last years rub
bish, broken machinery, dilapidated
fences and other eyesores.
The view of the town to the strang-
er especially. who is passing through
by rail, is from the car window, and
he measures the progressiveness of
the city from his impressions re-
ceived from this source. Often the
plan of the town is such that the
view of the paved streets, the berms,
the trees and the beautiful business
blocks are shut entirely from view
by the tumbled down buildings, dirty
and unkept, which form the railroad
frontage.
The Devils Lake plan is to pur-
chase the land between the depot and
one of the main business streets and
convert the same into a park. This
will make the view from the railroad
a delightful one. AS the stranger
glances from the car window he will
behold a scene pleasing to behold.
Through the trees he can see the
well-kept streets and the fine bust
ness houses, while the eye can wan
der out to the residence portion and
see the mansions which really make
the town beautiful.
Devils Lake should not be alone in
this plan of beautifying the city.
There are dozens of towns in this
state which at comparatively small
expense could be improved in the
same manner. The impressions which
these improvements would create
would amply repay for the same in
the favorable prominence the towns
would receive.

DENATURED ALCOHOL PLANT.

The description of the several pro-
cesses in the manufacture of dena-
tured alcohol in the elaborate article
which was reprinted from the Ohio
Farmer in yesterdays issue of the
Evening Times, should interest the
people of Grand Forks who are de-
sirous of securing available manu-
featuring plants for this city.
A perusal of that article will show
that no place in the whole country
has such advantages as We have.
The raw products lie in superabund-
ance at our very doors. In fact,
thousands of dollars worth of the
very material which can be converted
into the products which will destroy
the robbery Of the Standard Oil trust,
is annually wasting on North Dakota
farmers.
No machinery of serious conse-
quence is required, nearly every pro-
cess being strictly chemical. During
the winter season in this climate the
pipes carrying the alcohol in the
form of steam from the retorts, need
not be emersed in water to effect
condensation, as mere exposure to the
atmosphere would reduce the tenn
perature to the desired point. In this
particular We are more fortunate
than the vast majority of cities.
There is no question but that de-
natured alcohol will in a very short
time supercede petroleum products
for light, heat and power. The mar
ket will be as great as is that of
kerosene and gasoline at the present
time. 1t can only be successfully
produced from grain and vegetables,
barley being the best raw product.
1t can be manufactured largely with
out machinery and almost without
fuel. The elementary market is
closer to this city than to any other
city of such size and shipping facili-
ties in the country. If these things
do not appeal to Grand Forks, no
manufacturing enterprise in the world
will.
