The ladies - God bless 'em - have
come to the front in this hour OF
great necessity and will inspire the
men to successful efforts in removing
some obnoxious features Of Fargo's
municipal life. The work of the league
should and will, no doubt, receive the
cooperation of every right thinking
resident of the city. No sensational
program has been mapped out. The

MOST DISAGREEABLE
WAS THE WIND AND DUST OF

HATS - WIND ATTAiNS vELO-
CITY OF 4a MILES PER HOUR.

Thursday was the first real windy
day Bismarck has experienced this
winter and spring, and the consensus
of opinoin among most of the people
who had to face it is that repetition
of the very disagreeable weather will
be long in coming. In the afternoon
the wind rose perceptibly from thai
of the morning and attained velocity
of 4S miles an hour, and that, even
for North Dakota, is going some. To
ward 6 O'Clock the sidewalks about
the city were covered with dust, and
what was not on the sidewalks seem
ed to be in the eyes of the pedestrians
The wind died down in the evening
however, and the moon rose still and
calm. The dust didn't seem to worry
her any, but it did the unlucky popu.
lace of Bismarck whose fate it was tc
be abroad.

Washington, D. c., Apr. 9.-Spea3k-

the duty on wood pulp. He said that

thousand newspaper proprietors to
tell the truth about the matter. He
pointed out that nine hundred thou
sand tons of pulp were produced in
the United States as against nine
thousand tons imported, and referr-

inquired how far it's removal would
help the newspapers. He spoke,
however, Of his resolutions passed

LAST WEEK OF
Fleets STAY
Battleship Fleet Coaling and
Tidying Up for Frisco
Trip

Magdalena Bay, Mex, April o.
Via San Diego-The Atlantic fleet
today entered upon the last week
of its stay at Magdalena bay. The
ships will weigh anchor April II at
an hour not yet set, and steam for
San Diego, where they are due to
arrive at 1 p. M, on April IA. No
manuevers or speed trials are sched-
uled for the trip up the coast, which
it is expected will be made with
out special incident.
The fleet formation will be slight
ly changed for the last leg of the
journey when Admiral Thomas trans
fers his flag from the Minnesota to
the Connecticut. The third and
fourth divisions will change places,
Rear Admiral Speer on the Alaba-
ma, commanding eight ships of the
second squadron. The Maine and
Minnesota of the third division will
also change, the Minnesota taking
the place in the line and Capt. Har-
Dor Of the Maine assuming temporary
command Of the fourth division.
Today Sunday, one of the most
perfect days that the fleet has had
at Magdalena, sees all of the battle
ships, with the exception Of the Vir-
ginia, riding again at anchor in Man
of-war cove.
The torpedo drill has practically
been completed, and for the rest Of
the week there will be little to do
but get in shape for the cruise to
California. The work of coaling is
being rushed forward with all speed
day and night, to escape demurrage
charges on one or two of them, which
amounts to about $3.50 day for
each day the cargo remains on
board.

A platform is binding as to what 1t
