At the fair pavilion this evening
another good entertainment will await
the people of the city and the visitors
who are here for the purpose of at
tending the fair. The above excellent
program will be rendered by the Nc
Elory military band and the evening
will be devoted to viewing the cXhib-
its, confetti throwing and other amuse-
ments.
1t is expected that the attendance
will again be large for the reason that
but few were enabled to properly in
spect all of the booths last evening.
To really see everything inside the
fair pavilion would require more than
weeks attendance.
Dance at ArnlOry.
Following the program at the fair
this evening a public dance will be
given in the armory by company l.
and this, together with the skating
rink will furnish plenty of after en-
tertainment.
Afternoon Program.
This afternoon the Livestock Day
program was started with a parade
that was more creditable, in size at
least, than the opening event yester-
day. Yesterday afternoon the fair
named E. ]. Murphy, Dan
p. Smythe, Charles Greulich and Les
ter Swaggart as a parade committee
and the fact that the turnout this af-
ternoon was large was due to their
efforts. Dozens of single and dou-
BILE rigs were in the procession to-
day and the showing made was pref
~. Following the vehicles came the
horses that are now here for exhibit
At the fair pavilion the afternoon
program commenced about o'clock
and at that time the grounds were

the week has started off at a clip
that indicates last years record for
and interest will be left
far In the shade.
Yesterday the paid admissions were
30 per cent greater than they were
for the first day of the fair last fall.
and the interest being manifested is
such that good crowds are assured for
each day of the week.
While the attendance at the fair
afternoon was good, 1t was
In the evening that the crowd came.
Between 1880 and $3.50 in the evening
n steady stream of people passed
through the doors of the pavilion and
when the evenings program COM
menced, the place was sea of men.
women and children. For two hours
or more they remained and with the
band concert, the exhibits to inspect
and confetti to throw or dodge, there
was little opportunity for one to be-
come bored.
The Town Exhibits.
This year the displays made by
many of the towns of the county show
more care and attractiveness than last
fall and some surprises have been
sprung by several of the towns.
Coming into the game but week
before the opening OF the fair, Pilot
Rock has covered itself with credit
by providing one OF the most varied
and attractive Of the town exhibits.

IMPORTANT DECISION

Judge Tsmpleton Of the dictrict
court of Grand Forks county has not
found 1t necessary to await the deter
nination Of the supreme court, but
has declared that the law passed by
the last legislature authorizing thsj
search for and seizure Of intoxicating
liquors and the destruction of the liz
quors on the order of a Justice OF the
peace, demonstrations :szs
Judge Templeton's decision is based
upon two main grounds, one that the
authority conferred upon Justices of
the peace is beyond that fixed by the
constitution and the other that the re-
quirernents OF and protection Of inter
state commerce are not taken into con-
alteration
Under this law, officers have made
search and seizure without a search
warrant It Is likely that this would
iOf itself b5 Unconstitutional but it Isl
held that the law does NOT contemplate
such a procedure THAT the officer
should arm himself with proper
search warrant

II anything more is needed to con-
vince us that the vital statistics of
this state as they are now gathered,
are unreliable and incomplete, one
has only to refer to the report for
October, wherein some counties re-
port no births and no deaths, and the
great county of Ward reports 40
births and no deaths. Certainly no
one will believe, that in a county of
$4,000 or 80, 900 people there was not a
single death in a period of thirty days.

WHALES AS RAMS.

Have Attacked Vessels. .. hi
@z While cruising in the south seas the
whaler Essex on Nov. 20, 1920, was fu-5
riousiy attacked by a COW sperm whale
supposed to have been the mother OF
calf which had just been harpooned.
The whale had not been wounded her
self. and her attack was very deter
mined. AT her first rush she passed
under the Essex and carried away a
great length Of her false keel. Then,
coming to the surface considerable
distance away, she appeared to take
bearings and deliberately charged the
vessel again, ramming her with such
violence that she stove in the bows,
while the ship rolled so heavily that
the captain thought she, must be dis
mantled. The case is memorable be-
cause the crew had to abandon the
vessel, and one boat was never heard
Of again. 81 S3
A more singular instance OF a whale
attacking a vessel occurred In 1895.
The singularity lies in the fact that In
the case of the Handa Isle the attack
was entirely unprovoked. This vessel.
q brigantine Of 26O tons, was Jon her
way to Sydney with cargo Of timber.
On Ang. "a. about noon, couple of
sperm whales rose very close to the
vessel and, while the crew watched
them sporting across her bows, the
pair suddenly slued around and came
straight for her. One thought better
of 1t and dived below the Handa Isle.
The other struck her fair and square
on the beam. crushing in her timbers.

lutte fashion 1t .sheered OF, terribly
