son states that the thin surface of
snow is melted in the northeastern

many huge snow drifts huddled over

TWELVE;NEW AUTOS.
N GRAND FORKS
THIS YEAR
Making Total of Seventy Four
Cars-Cadillacs Lead With
Twenty Cars.

Grand Forks is fast developing in
to an enthusiastic motor city and the
growth of her automobile fraternity
during the past year or two is some
thing amazing. Without doubt Grand
Forks has the largest number of au-
tos in any city between Minneapolis
and Seattle and almost equals in this
respect the City of Duluth with her
fifty odd thousands of people. Du-
luth passed the hundred mark last
week and there now are 1903 cars in
the Zenith city.
In this city last year there were
sixty-one cars and with the twelve
new autos the list totals up to sew
enty-four. Not all the new owners
have procured licenses from City Au-
ditor w. V. O'Connor and he wishes
it brought to their attention that 1t
costs nothing. except possibly good
cigar, to register the machines and
get a number, and with the city Or
dinances very strict in this matter.
the owners are urged to procure the
same before the police take a hand.
The list of new machines will be pub
lished complete within few days.
A glance over the register book dis
closes some interesting data. The
seventy-four cars represent no less
than twenty-four distinct and sepa-
rate makes. The Cadillas is by far
the most popular car in use-at least
such a conclusion would be construed
from the large number that are in
use. There are eighteen of this type
gliding about over the streets. The
Oldsmobile comes second with seven
machines while the others trail along
with -four, five and six. The follow
ing machines can be seen on the
street: Clyde. Oldsmobile, Michigan,
Buffalo, Cadillac. Maxwell. Crest. Lo-
comobile, Rambler. White Steamer,

speed than the city laws provide.

The stockholders of the Crazy cream
cry held meeting a few days ago to
hear the report of F. R. Stevens, who
was appointed to audit the accounts.
His report showed that the reason the
company did not make any money last
year was because they paid more for
cream than they received for butter.

1T was the greatest and worst
ever saw
1t was George Freidenbloom talkins
and his reference was to the Albu
| querque fair. George returned Sunday
night from the Duke City, and today
was full of information relative to the
much advertised festival. He went tc
the Great Council of the Red Men
but like all good Indians, did-i't let
anything get away, and took in the
fair from start to finish While smok-
ing the peace pipe with the other
braves and sages of the New Mexico
tribe
'The fair was the most successful
in its history of 26 years. Last Thurs
day the gate receipts were S4OO more
than on any one day in the entire 26
years they have been running Why,
they sold $500 worth of grand stand
tickets after person couldn't get
within a hundred yards Of the build
ing on account of the crowd. But they
were not to be blamed. They had nev-
L
care of them, that was all.
And the races We're worth going
to see. The Denver Post alone gave
a purse of $1,000 for a race, and there
were many other good purses. But the
agricultural and live stock end of the
fair was slim. John Kelley, formerly
of Roswell, took the agricultural ex-
hibit over from the Estaucia valley
in the back end of his wagon. Seventy
five people went in to see it. The rest
bunch of sheep there, but it was
small one.
They had one race that especially
interested me. 1t was for tea laps
around the track, in which the rider
had to remove his saddle and put it
on fresh horse every time around
The race was very exciting, but no
one could understand why Jonn Kel-
ley waved his hat, shouted and had
such a good time losing the race until
it was found that he owned all the
horses for all three of the entries AID
carried off both first and second mon
ey.
John made a great hit in the bron-
co busting contest. He rode under the
name of Alkali Ike. Marian Lynch, a
Roswell cow-pu1cher, appeared under
the title of Bloody Bill.
'fThey sure had fine parades there
during the fair. The floats were won
derful, and many worth describing,
but I haven't the time now. The Shrin
ers had a great parade. Nathan Jaffa
was a star in the Sariners' band. He
blew a horn so loud it nearly drown
ed out the music.
I'm many respects it was a good
fair, but Roswell can beat EN- a mile
if she takes the notion.
Governor Curry told me to tell the
people of Roswell that he would be
here for little visit in about ten
days"

Chicago, Oct. 14.-That railroad ex
for government control and regulation
of transportation lines, as advocated
by Robert Mather, president of the
Rock Island Company in a speech to
the Chicago Association of Commerce
today, was strongly indicated when
the officials went on record to that
effect. Mather's address was called
admirable, and all the railroad officials
interviewed agreed vita him as to
what they called the varied and in
consistent system of laws passed by
state legislatures.
William Rockefeller a Witness.

ment that William Rockefeller, assist
of New Jersey, has been Notified by
Frank B. kellogg, special assistant
attorney general, to be in readiness
to testify before Examiner Ferris eth
er today or tomorrow in The govern
ment's suit has been received with
interest. He will be asked to explain
why and to whom more than $780,
0OO, 900 was lent by the Standard Oil
Company of New York last year over
and above the money loaned or trans
ferred to the Standard Oil interests.
kellogg decided fortnight ago that
he would not subpoena any individ-
uals in the case unless absolutely
obliged to do SO.
Alfred H. Brainard, comptroller of
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, and many of it's subsidiary
companies was questioned today when
called as a witness in governm S
suit against tae oil company concern
ing the large loans made to James
Mcdonald by the Anglo-American Oil
Company. Testimony was given last
week that the Southern Pacific pipe
line company had loaned over $40,
000,0 900 to Mcdonald, and the books
paid back. Brainard says he was the
American secretary of the Anglo-Am-
erican company, and that Mcdonald
was managing director in London. Be
ing S.sked concerning the loans made
by the Anglo-American Company of
S2,175 900 in 1905 and SAL, ,427 900 in
1906, to Mcdonald, Brainard said the
loans had been ordered from London
and that was all he knew.
Brainard was asked concerning the
loans made by the Southern Pipe line
company of over $2O,0OO,ooO to P. S.
Trainer. He said it was likely that
Trainer reported his losses to he
Standard of New York and that the
Southern Pipe Line Co. reimbursed
the Standard losses and charged the
account to Trainer. Brainard said he
thought the losses were incurred by
Trainer in the purchase of oil He
said he knew nothing of loans made
by the Standard Oil Co. of New York
aggregating s320,OOO,00O in 1906 to in
