The death of Mrs. Edwin Gardner Weed in Jacksonville Fla, on Sunday has caused widespread grief through out the whole of the southland.

MIR. Birch started on his big con
tract in Bozeman last Monday Mt
noon and although men are very plen-
tiful in that section Of the country and
stated that men had been waiting in
Bozeman for weeks to get a chance
to work on the paving contract, a
strike was declared after the men had
been at work only two days and a
half. The men had been getting 1925
per day and struck for an advance Of
25 cents per day or $3.50. This Mr..
Birch refuses to pay, saying that he
can get all the men he wants at the

Before the strike a Bozeman paper

added here, however, that there are

LATlNG PLANS FOR A HOME
AND WILL START WORK WHEN

LAKE.

When Company .B's returns from

active steps will be taken by the Of
ficers and members to erect an armory
on the lots owned by the organization
on Seventh avenue south. Plans are
now being formulated for a building
which viii be solely for military pur-
poses and there is little doubt that
the idea will be carried to completion.
The state laws provide an appropri-
alton, OF $4,000 annually for armory
building purposes. Application must
be made one year prior to the time
that the money is to be used and only
two armories can be provided for each
year. In accordance with this ruling
each armory erected will receive as
sistance from the state to the amount
of $4,000. the rest to be raised for the
company building the hail.
The officers of the local company
are confident that they will be able
to build an armory on their own
initiative as the matter of combined
armory and auditorium seems not to
be meeting with much support by the
business men of the city They all
seem to approve of the plan but sup
port seems to be lacking
The company is now paying more
rent than is covered by the state ap-
preparation for the purpose and the
organization is annually losing great
deal of money which could as well be
saved and applied to building and the
members will get to work on this
proposition as. soon as they return
from American Lake.

GRAND FORKS MAD

Proceedings to Stop Paving
Work Deplored

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. Ito say
that the progressive citizens OF this
city are indignant over the threatened
Injunction proceedings to hold up
closing the contract with P. r. Nc
Donnell of Duluth, the lowest bidder
for the street paving contract. would
hardly express their sentiments. They
are mad clear through to think that
legal obstructions will be raised just
when the paving matter was moving
along smoothly after many delays At.
torney Scott Rex has served notice
upon Mayor Taylor and City Audi
tor Alexander that papers in an In
junction suit to prevent the city
awarding the contract to the Duluth
man are being prepared.
The notice was sent out as a warn
ing TO keep the mayor and city audi
tor from entering into a contract The
contention on which Attorney Rex
based his cause OF action and for
which he has given the power of at
torney is that the contract was IL
legally awarded to p. Mcdonnell to
construct $4,000 square yards OF pave
ment. 1t is stated in the contract
that any omission shall invalidate the
bid. and it is claimed that Contractor
Mcdonnell failed to safe his price on
$4,000 square yards and 10000 square
yards of pavement
City Auditor Alexander, when seen,
stated that he was ready to sign the
contract, as was Mayor Taylor. and
that the injunction would have no
effect on the awarding Of the con-
paving.
While the illegality of the contract
is brought up as the reason for the
litigation. still, according to sidewalk
conversation. there is more back of
the effort to stop the paving. and
this is rh main reason for the indig-
nation of the citizens, property owners
in Grand Forks. 1t is stated by one
on good authority that man noted as
the Grand Forks tax dodger, was re
sponsible for the first steps taken,
while another who has no interest in
the city at all as a taxpayer. but
bears grudge because he was defeat
ed in the recent city election, is also
pushing the movement TO hinder the
progress Of Grand Forks under the
present administration

from yesterdays primaries In Missouri
indicate that William S. Cowherd OF
Kansas City, formerly chairman of the
democratic national congressional
COMMITTEES. was nominated by the DEM
ocrats for governor, over David A.
Ball and Criminal Judge William H.
Wallace of Kansas City. Cowherds S
nomination Is claimed by close to 25,-

slowly that definite figures will not be

the only candidate for governor on the

Cowherds strength lay principally
in the cities and In st. Louis, Kansas
