At the meeting of the A. M. e. Min
isters Conference last Tuesday it was
definitely decided by that body to make
strenuous efforts to bring the next sit
ting of the General Conference of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church to
this city. 1t will convene in 1912, but
the place of meeting will be selected
at the meeting of the commission that
will be held at Wilberforce Univer-
sity on the 18th of June. At the meet
ing above mentioned a committee was
appointed to canvass the city and find
out what inducements the citizens
would offer. The sitting of General
Conference means thousands of dollars
to a city, and it is believed that Nash
vile will be wide awake to this fact.
Over five hundred delegates are elected
to the meeting which runs from twenty
to twenty-five days, and there are al
ways several hundred visitors in at
tendance. A delegation will be sent to
| lay the claim of Nashville before the
commission when it convenes to settle
on a place of meeting. Many of the
leading cities in the country will bid
for the meeting, but there is no place
in the United States that can offer bet
ter inducements than the capital Of
Tennessee. The forty or fifty thou
sand Negroes here are as hospitable
and generous as are to be found any
where The conveniences in the way
of local travel cannot be excelled, ant
the geographical situation is without
an equal, being the most centrally 10
Gated city in the country as regards
the majority of the Negro population
The Conference meets in May, a
which season good weather is guaran
teed in this section. The Nashville
Railway will by that time have con
structed several of their proposed in
terurban lines, which afford the com
forts of rides in the surrounding coun
try.
The delegation going up from Nash
vile will be well supplied with in
formation about their home city, an,
with the proper effort there is no rea
son why they should not succeed.

This bank adds to the many enter
prises conducted in this city by Ne
groes. When the One Cent Savings
Bank opened it's doors a few years
ago it was apparent then that it woult
only be a matter of time before an
other similar concern would be start
ed in this city. No one has eve
doubted but that the banking bus
ness would be a success, and tn
opening of this new bank is merel
the elimination of mature consit
Grafton. The new concern will do
general banking business and in az
dition will have the trust and real es
tate features.

"A HOT TIME"

Our North Dakota representatives at
Washington must be considering that
the present is the warmest summer they
have ever experienced. Washington wealth
er and the comments of the state papers
are making the climate rather strenuous
for the people who are occupying the up
per strata
Messrs. McCumber and johnson have
been having their wings badly singed
and will have lot Of explaining to do in
the near henceforth. 1t is now stated
that Mr.. Hansbrough is to receive fat
plum worth about $500 a year in con-
slderation of his keeping out of the next
senatorial fight, But Hans likes to
fight so we'll that we doubt if he will sell
his pugnacious birthright for mess of
of pottage. Mr.. Hansbrough tried that
same plan of giving some of his life long
opponents fat jobs, but it did not win
out.
Late kilograms also announce that Mr.
McCumber is strictly in line with Pres.
ident Taft on the taritf-but if that is sc
President Taft is strictly out of line with
the great majority of the North Dakota
newspapers.
Some of our progressive people must
be wondering by this time where they
are at as to the results of the late sena
torial campaign. One faction voted fol
Marshall, another faction voted fol
'Yonson" and both against Hansbrough
with the present senator as result OF
their joint efforts. The gain is not very
apparent, at least along tariff lines.
Oh, there will be music by several
bands at the next senatorial primary.

stocks of we'll arranged goods in sub
stantial buildings, he is specially struck
with the general neatness, which is so
great that it becomes a marvel. Wal

business.

The writer and wife returned home via
auto on Saturday afternoon and saw a
splendid crop prospect all along. 1t
looked the best for many years. 1t is
hard to select any special section as ex-
ceiling. We thought that some grain in
head near Walhalla was little the best
we had seen, but when we get nearer
home half way between Pembina and
Neche we saw grain that appeared just
as good. Bowesmont locality is badly
injured by the rains and floods. Mr.. H.
G. Thomson of that town tells us that
the loss will be at least so percent.
Over in the south west part of the coun-
ty in the vicinity of Hensel there is about

BoWesmont, n. ID.
July 18th 1909.
To the Editors of the Pioneer Express.
Your items on the bitches near Bowes-
mont were very interesting to me and in
this connection l would like to make a
suggestion to the drainage board and to
the county commissioners before another
great mistake is made. Ditch No. 20
empties into coulee running about
northeast and southwest, and the coulee
was not large enough to carry off the
water of the late floods but overfowed
and spread ou. from ten to twenty rods
wide. Now two bitches, one a mile
north and another two miles south are
flowed into this coulee instead of being
continued east to the Red river. 1t is
evident to anyone who sees it that this
must cause immense damage and must
he plain to the drainage board, two of
whom were here to see for themselves.
There seems to be but little doubt that
the courts will be called upon to settle
the question of such damage. By
prompt action the authorities can have
the two south bitches run to the river
and then.by enlarging the east end of
ditch No. 20. (Which is not even as wide
as contract calls for) and by clearing
out and Strengthening the coulee the
futnre loss would be reduced to a min
imum. Ditch No. 20 runs clear from
the big slough and carries a very large
amount of water out of it's natural
course, hence the county authorities
should take every precaution that it
may not overflow and do more damage
than good, NEWCOMER.

MIDLAND RAILWAY.
Edgeley Mail.

Edgeley Mail.
The old saying that where there is 50
much smoke there must be some fire
would seem to be applicable to the pro.
posed Midland Continental. Last Sat
urday the town was alive with sub-con-
tractors who came here to meet the gen.
eral contractor, Mr.. Adams, and to bid
on some of the work. Last week Vice
President Duncomhe, Chief Engineer
Beach, Right lof way Agent Hull and
Contractor Adams were all guests in the
city, In conversation with some of
the gentlemen they assured q reporter
of the Mail that the railroad was going
to be built and that work would COM
mence at both ends of the line within 4
couple of weeks, and that there was no
question but that the road would be
completed to jamestown this year.
AS result of MIR. Adams visit to
Edgeley, Saturday, the first twelve miles
Of the road was let to G. r. Dolan, Of
Randolph s. D. who is a we'll known
railroad contractor. Mr.. Dolan's II
miles start from Edgeley, and he said
he would be ready to commence work
within ten days.
II. A. Whittier who is just completing
q piece Of road for the Milwaukee, in tia
western part Of the state, was also one
Of the successful bidders. His territory
is closer to jamestown than to Edrelsy.
Mr.. Whittier is one Of the contractors
who had charge of the grading Of thel
Streeter branch that was built frpsa |
Edgeley a few years ago, and informed
the writer that the Midland was q sareI
90, as the generaf>contractor was able to
build the road himself il necessary.
These facts in regard to the Midland
are cleaned from the men who are going
to do the work, and the Mail has every I
reason to believe that there will bet
doing in substantial way
within short time.

A TRIP ABOUT THE COUNTY

For. many years the writer has beer
looking for an excuse to 60 to Walhalla
and found reason last week, on the oc
casion of the meeting of the old settlers
association, and the meeting of the press
associotion of the 7th judicial district
With our better half we left on Thurs.
day morning, catching an excursion
train from Grand Forks at Grafton, ar
irving at Walhalla about eleven o'clock.
The old settlers did not turn out very
extensively, but one of the pleasures Of
the trip was the opportunity to shake
hands with SO many in Walhalla, of the
men and women who laid the foundations
OF this great county. 'There's tie that
binds" among these who have seen this
country ''like the sunlight when the
Eight is gone, and the crimson streak on
the prairie's cheek, glow into the blazing
sum-
There was fair, though not as large
as expected attendance of the newspa-
per fellows, and the meeting both in q
business way as we'll as fraternally was
very pleasant and beneficial. Mesdames
Lindstrom, Hager and Wardwell, with
Mrs. G. 81. Lee of Walhalla, were pres
ent to help make things pleasant.
Walhalla people had prepared and did
everything possible to make their guests
enjoy the visit. Nothing was left un-
done to make us happy. AS most Of
our readers know, the natural surround
ings of the little city under the hills, are
very picturesque and. beautiful. The
view from the Catholic cemetery on top
of the hill, just back Of town. some three
hundred feet high, is very beautiful.
The Pemblna river winds below at ones
feet, with the hillside so steep that it
seems as though one could jump to the
water, while far away to the eastward
lies the green carpeted prairie for miles
and miles until the land and sky lines be.
come one.
About Walhalla is forest Of natural
timber, abounding in beautiful groves.
The grove Of John F. Mager makes q
very extensive and picturesque park,
and runs along the river bank and mill
dam which forms large and pretty
lake.
