Fbecome more than ever commercitl
highway.
At the present time the channel in
the river from Grand Forks to Bel
mont, distance Of thirty six miles,
south, and to a point about forty five
miles north of the city. is in good
condition. North OF that point the
river is navigabls during high water,
but at other seasons OF the year when
the water Is low the channel lis not
very safe for boats.
The importance OF maintaining the
river as a navigabie stream is recog-
nized by the commercial club. Dur
ing the season of 1909 a total OF about
$4,000 bushels Of grain was hauled
on the river by the boats operated
by the Red River Transportation COM
pany. In addition TO the grain trans-
ported there was also a great deal Of
other merchandise taken care Of, the
total being much larger than is or
dinarily supposed.
With the general movement that is
on foot over the United States for
the betterment OF the rivers and har-
bors 1t is believed that there is a
splendid opportunity to secure larger
appropriations for the Red river work.
A great deal Of attention will be given
to this work and by commencing agi-
tation at an early date. the Grand
Forks supporters of the plan are hope
full of securing favorable consideration
Of their plan.

GRIP THIEF DRAWS
| YEAR IN The Pen
X. BERGER PLEADED GUILTY AND
WAS sENTENcED-cRUsApE
BY POLICE,

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 23.-H
Berger, charged with grand larceny
yesterday pleaded guilty and was sem
itenced to one year at hard labor in the
penitentiary by Judge Templeton
Berger some time ago, walked up to
truck on the Great Northern plat
form, seized a grip and started to run
down the street. He was chased for
several blocks and finally caught, after
setting pace that made the police
hurry to follow. Berger claims to hail
from Sioux City and stated that his
parents live in New York. He is rather
young and owing to the fact that his
record looked clear the minimum SEN
tence for grand larceny was given.
The police of this city have been
bothered for some time past, by petty
thefts OF grips and the like, around
the Great Northern and in fact both
of the local depots. 1t is thought
that there is a band of these men
working together, and If another one
is caught in the act he will be given
the limit of the law. Assistant Coun-
ty Attorney McMullen looked after the
prosecution of Berger and stated to-
day that this was only the initial step
to stop this marauding on the baggage
of the passengers of the railroads.

valley City N. D., Dec. 23.--The fu-
neral OF Edward I'll. Conner occurred
tuesday afternoon at o'clock from
the residence of his sister, Miss Kate
y. Conner, In this city, and although
the day was cold and bleak there were
many out TO pay last tribute to an old
citizen. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. w. C. Lyon of the
First Congregational church. The
church choir was present and sang
Lead Kindly Light, Abide with Me,
and Jesus Lover OF My Soul. The pail
bearers were w. H. Pray Ernest
Critchfield, Frank 8. Henry, Eddie Ma
son, Lee Cowell and T. G. Benson.
Numerous floral tributes bespoke the
kindly friendship Of those who knew
him best and appreciated him at his
true worth. His remains were laid to
rest In the family lot in Hillside Gene
terry. Among those OF his relatives who
were present at his funeral were his
brother-in-law, William Pomeroy, and
his sisters, Mrs. jeanette Pomeroy Of
Fargo, and Mrs. Frank Higgins, Miss
Kate B. Common and his little daughter
Lois. Besides those, he leaves another
sister, Mrs. w. B. Bostock of Grand
Rapids, Mich, and brother, Robert

whom were unable to be present.
Mr.. Connor was born in Kalamazoo,

years has been engaged In farming his
fine homestead near Wimbledon.
20 Later particulars have been received
regarding his death. He was in Valley
City on last Sunday and Monday, and
on Tuesday left for his farm near
Wimbledon.
On the Friday following as he was in
his house he saw the rural mail car
rier stop at the mail box about twenty
rods from his door. He ran down to
meet him for the purpose of sending
money for a postal money order, then
went back to the house. From the po-
sition in which his body was found by
neighbor on Saturday. 1t is thought
he must have dropped dead as he en-
tered the door of his house, as he was
lying on the floor in the open doorway.
DR.. Wanner of Wimbledon was notified,
and he pronounced his death due to
heart disease.

Hanpden Guardian: Some idea OF
the phenomenal movement Of real
estate within the last year which has
taken. place in the immediate vicinity
of Hampden, may be gained from the
following statistics which were pre-
pared by the Shipley Investment Co.
The figures show that flfty-uwo quar-
ters or $3.50 acres have been sold dur
Ing the past twelve months. These
figures are based on actual deals on
land whose nearest market Is Hamp-
den and land which was nearer to
other towns not being taken into con-
stderation. This was mostly all inn
proved land which was shown by the
fact that the largest sale was only
$50 acres, this farm bringing $50 per
acre, while the lowest price paid was
for a quarter, which brought s19 per
acre. These examples show the rapid
raise OF land In this vicinity, for sew
eral years ago numerous quarters
could be bought from 81 to $40 per
acre. IL certainly speaks well for the
country, the future of which looks
extremely bright.

REVIEWS DEATH OF
YOUNG M'KENzIE
HON. J. G. cUNDERsoN REVIEWS
THE INCIDENT IN THE PAN
DRAMA.

In two column article which ap-
pears In the last issue of the Aneta
Panorama, Hon. ]. G. Gunderson, the
mayor of Aneta, reviews the incidents
connected with the tragic death OF
Kenneth Mckenzie, and maintains
that the childs death was accidental,
He closes the article as follows:
1t is, indeed, the saddest affair in
the history of our city, and the sor-
row must be a great deal harder to
carry when a parent fully believes
that the cause came from the hands
of criminals, but am inclined to be-
lieve that due consideration has not
been given to facts by everybody.
There Is such a thing as biased mind
through hasty notions and wrong
ideas. The idea that attempts have
been made to discredit the boy in this
case, is something entirely wrong.
and believe has not had the. best re-
suits. The good qualities and veracity
OF the boy have been Acknowledged
by everybody with whom have
talked.
1t is more than sad that the life
career OF a youth, fast growing into
manhood with all the fair promises of
golden and useful years before him
should end as Kenneth's did.
