Well Known Grand Forks Man
Has Escaped Injury in All
of Them.

Trying to Figure Out Whether
or Not He is Lucky or Up
Against It.
WAS ON PUGET SOUND
EXPRESS OUT WEST

w. A. Gordon, the we'll known
Grand Forks insurance man, who Is
spending a few days in Minot, is try
ing hard to figure out whether he is
very fortunate or very unfortunate
man. In the past thirty days Mr.. Cor
don has been a passenger on four
Great Northern trains which have been
wrecked.
When interviewed at the CONNER
cial club by Minot Reporter repre-
sentative, Mr.. Gordon said: Il am
commencing to get little nervous
over these wrecks. never get on a
train lately but what expect to land
in the ditch before the end of my
journey. Last night when the claim
agent run onto ME among the passen-
gers, he suggested that 1 must be the
hoodoo, as this was the fourth time he
has made peace with me in the last
four weeks.
"a short time ago l was on No. 2
when it jumped the track going into
the yards at Fargo. Four weeks ago
Sunday night was passenger on
the Inflated No. / when it went into
the ditch at Ojata. was passenger
on No. when it left the track near
Bartlett. l was on No. coming to
Minot when the disaster occurred at
Blaisdell.
Strange though it may seem, l
have escaped each time without in
jury Of any kind. and the experience
has been something wonderful. Last
night was among the passengers who
were seeking to rescue those in the
ditched coaches. was on top of a
car. and a mother passed her little
baby to me through broken window,
saying, take care of my child, never
mind me- took the child and cared
for it until some of the others rescued
the mother, but can tell you l was
pretty much unnerved when the moth
er entrusted her baby to me in the
dark, neither of us knowing whether
she would be rescued or not"
Mr.. Gordon tells many interesting
incidents connected with the different
wrecks, and has been kept busy by
his Minot friends since striking town
in giving detailed accounts of Mon
day nights disaster.
For number of years Mr.. Gordon
was national bank examiner for the
state of North Dakota, and is we'll
known not only in Minot. but in all of
the cities of the state.

awake Ignite INDUSTRY
Chicago Man Says New Steel Plant at
Duluth Will Bring Revival to
Mining In This State.

Minneapolis Tribune: The speedy
revival of the Ignite industry in
North Dakota and Montana is GER
tain to be one of the immediate re-
suits that will follow the establish
ment of the proposed big steel plant
at Duluth, or at least Harvey NJ. SIM
Onson OF Chicago thinks so.
Mr.. Simonson passed through Min
neapolis last night on his way east
after an extensive trip throughout the
Dakotas and Montana. When seen at
the Nicollet hotel he was strong in his
belief that the Ignite industry in the
northwest, which for the past year or
two has been in a moribund condition,
is due to be speedily galvanized into
new life, and all because of the deter
mination of the steel corporation to
establish its mammoth plant at the
head of Lake Superior.
They are getting ready for big re-
vival in the Ignite industry out in the
Dakotas and Montana" said Mr..
Simonson to the Tribune Il under
stand that there was a time few
years ago when the industry was a
leading one, but for some reason or
other it has suffered an almost total
eclipse during the past two years or
so. l was out in that section trying
to work up sentiment for a certain line
of hardware, but during the past few
weeks the intention of starting up the
old Ignite industry has been so mark
ed, that am on my way back to Chi
cago to get my house to consider the
advisability of handling the machinery
that is used by mining Ignite.

CONTRACT FOR FIFTH
WARD SCHOOL
IS LET
Figures Of Melby & Standahl
at $22,645, Being Lowest,
I Were Accepted.
SIX TENDERS IN
ALL PRESENTED
spriggs Bros. Awarded the
Plumbing and F. L. Dixon
& Co. the Heating.
SIX TENDERS IN
ALL PRESENTED

The contracts for the building, the
plumbing and the heating of the new
Washington school in the Fifth ward
were awarded at meeting of the
board of education last evening in the
Central high school. The contract for
the structure proper was let to Con-
tractors Melby & Standahl at the
figure $22,645. The plumbing contract
was awarded to Spriggs Bros. for
$3.50. and the heating contract went
to F. /. Dixon whose bid was $4,000.
The total cost of the building will be
in the neighborhood of $4,000, the
amount being somewhat under the
original figures. However. the board
gave the matter considerable atten-
ton, though it deemed 1t best to strike
out some of the embellishments rather
than pile up the cost of the structure.
There were six bidders for the con-
struction work of the school house,
with difference of over $4,000 in the
high and low figures. The tenders
wers as follows: Melby & Standahl,
$22,645; Bales & Perkins. S25,21O; A.
S. Dinnie, $23,69O; X. c. Hunter, $685.
SAB; F. J. Brown, $24,49s; E. c. Rich
mond. $4,000.
The new building will be located
on corner lots at the intersection of
Dakota avenue and Sixth street and
excavation work will probably begin
within a week or two.
