BOOSTERS Will
ADVERTISE FARGO

A special meeting OF the advertising
committee of the commercial club was
held yesterday afternoon and decided
to have a large number of souvenir
booklets printed, which viii contain
cuts and data showing what Fargo is
and what it offers to people seeking a
good business location or a home.
1t has long been desired to have
such pamphlet printed and the meet
ing yesterday was called for this pur-
pose. The book which will be issued
will contain a large number of cuts
and data showing the citys retail and
wholesale business, railroad facilities,
banking institutions, schools, colleges,
churches, amusements and theatres.
newspapers, and in fact everything
that anyone would wish to know. The
book will be attractively bound and
while it has not been definitely decided,
there will be between $4,000 and 5O,-
900 of these booklets published.
Sec. w. A. Yoder said this morning
that he has long felt the need of the
club for such a publication. 81 often
have communications from over the
country asking what Fargo offers and
the only way that we have been able
to accommodate them was by writing
a long letter which is not nearly SO
satisfactory as a nice attractive pam
phlet setting forth all that Fargo can
offer to the investor or home seeker"

LARSON IS Held
. TO DISTRICT COURT

Gus Larson, who is accused of rob-
bling his partner, james Hunter. Of
about $45. was bound over to the dis
trict court on charge OF grand lar
ceny by Judge Martin Ryan this
morning.
The two men worked together
around Finley and they came to Far
go together each with his roll, repre-
senting the work that they hall done
during the fall. Hunter is only a boy
and Larson is also green acting la
borer They arrived in Fargo about
10 o'clock on Saturday night and Sc
cured a room in the basement of the
Tweeden block after which they went
over to Moorhead where they had
few glasses of beer and then retur.l-
ing to his side they went down tn
their room and went to bed. Before
going to sleep Hunter took his pock-
etbook. containing a number OF Ave
dollar bills and some silver, out of his
trousers pocket and transferred 1t to
his shirt pocket and did not remove
his shirt on retiring. The next morn
ing when Hunter Weakened, he discov-.
cred that his pocketbook was gone
and when he arose he saw his part
ner's pocketbook lying on the floor.
He aroused his partner with the
words, Gus, we've been robbed
Larson did not seem to be very
much put out over the event and 1t
was with considerable difficulty that
Hunter prevaild upon him to go to
the police station and make a report
of the robbery. The two finally went
to the station and they both declared
that they had been robbed and the
police at last decided to search the
two men. In Larson's shoes they
found $55 in bills and at his hearing
he tried to explain that the $55
was some money that he had been
carrying all the fall and which he put
in his shoes when he came to Fargo
for fear Of robbery. He declared that
he himself had been robbed of $50
at the time, Hunter lost his money,
this $50 being what he had earned
during the fall. The $55 was. accord
ing to Larsons story, some money
that he had brought from his home,
at Pelcian Rapids, Mimi. with which
to purchase q team of horses.
This story seemed to be rather thin
and Judge Ryan decided that there
was enough proof against Larson to
Warrant him in holding the defendant
to the district court He fixed his
bonds of $3.50 in default Of which he
was committed to jail.

PILES OF GRAIN
POUR IN MARKET

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 23-The
Great Northern is loading over 800
cars of grain daily and it is estimated
that they will deliver to terminal ele-
vators twenty-five million bushels of
grain during the month of September.
The movement of grain this fall has
been a record breaker for the month
of September. Conditions for thresh-
ing have been ideal, and owing to the
advance preparations made the rail-
road is in better shape than ever be-
fore to rapidly transfer the grain.
The Farmers road is doing a big
business these days also. About fifty
cars day are being delivered to the
Great Northern at Devils Lake. It was
found necessary to put on an extra
freight train a. week ago in order to
cope with the situation. So far there
has been no particular scarcity of
cars, the demand as rule being
promptly supplied.

THOUSANDS ARE
COMING TO FARGO

They are coming to Fargo by the
thousands to hear and see William
Howard Taft when the republican can
didate for president is in Fargo next
Monday evening.
Arrangements were completed today
for the special train when is to come
over the ". P. from Dickinson, and
which will bring several coach loads
from that section of the state. The
500 will run a special from Garrison
to Bismarck to connect with the Dick
inson train, and it is believed that this
train will be packed from end to end
and that many will be hanging on the
steps.
Besides this, every train running of
the branch lines into Fargo will have
extra coaches attached and they will
bring other thousands to the city.
There is now no doubt but what the
city will entertain one Of the largest
crowds that has ever gathered together
in the northwest to hear a political
address.
Barbecue Is Planned.
National Committeeman James Ken
nedy also completed arrangements to-
day for a big barbecue which will be
held in Island park. south of where
