POWER FOB FARGO.


The unfortunate accident to the
electric power dams at Fergus Falls
rather puts a damper ON those who
have been urging that the city trans
NIT electricity from there to be used
in a municipal lighting plant IN Fargo.
The Forum is unfamiliar with the
construction work done on the dams
in Fergus Falls. The results would in
dictate at least that the job had not
been properly doneor that the plans
were inadequate for the requirements.
Power plants elsewhere in Minnesota
amd in other states have filled the bin.
but ii the situation around Fergus
Falls Is such that it is impossible to
construct suitable dams Fargo cannot
AFFORD to monkey with the project.
The city doesn't want a service that
Is likely to be disrupted with every
rain and at the mercy Of each heeting
eloud
One OF the strongest arguments In
the bond fight last spring was that the
city could secure . continuous service
ana have electricity laid down here
from the Otter Tail river dams at such
d low cost--tlle municipality could wax
wealthy peddling It to consumers 81

Of the waterworks plant.

feasible and Fargoans will want more

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

In some countries the building Of
railways does not seem TO have inter-
fered with the construction and Inn
provement of highways In parts Of
the United States the good roads
movement has, for time, been re-
tarded from this cause.
Railroad construction began In the
u. s. in Massachusetts and South Car
olina about 1ss0--and since that time
the country has grown up with the To-
connective. But for this, necessity
would have long since compelled better
highways. European countries had
done much along these lines before the
arrival Of the steam engines.
Now that railway construction has
reached its climax in the United States
there will be more attention devoted
to good dirt roads. Convenience in
travel-economy in marketing the
products of the farm-quick rural
ommunication-and hundreds of other
things depend upon it. North Dakota
should take an advanced position in
this as In other things-and lead the
union in the excellence of its dirt roads.
A writer on good roads has the fol-
lowing about the early history Of the
movement in the United States:
In America the construction of ex-
tensive highways in this country was
begun so long ago as 1875, when the
first artificial road was built from
Philadelphia to New York, and later
the famous stage road from New York
to Boston. An often-proposed grand
boulevard from ocean to ocean had it's
genesis early in the century when
Ohio asked for admission to the union.
1t was then a debatable question
whether emigration would be drawn to
Ohio, from the fact that it was cut off
from the seaboard at the east--the
great Allegheny mountains forming a
barrier which seemed to be impossible.
The natural highways then were the
waterways, the manageable streams, but
it was a very long distance down the
Ohio and down the Mississippi, and
the journey was attended with such
risks and expense that 1t was deemed
almost impracticable. Through the ef-
forts Of Henry Clay a road was finally
built and was variously known as the
Great Western, or National Turnpike
road, the National Highway, and the
Cumberland road, and connected the
District of Columbia with the Ohio
river. Commenced in 1906, and built at
a cost Of $1,000, 900, 1t was the first in
ternal improvement OF any magnitude
undertaken at public expense. Before
the close of the year 1881 over $780,
600 had been expended upon it in re-
pairs. The road ran from between a
point nearly opposite Steubenville,
Ohio, and Wheeling, in West Virginia,
through Ohio. and Alleghaney counties
to Cumberland, thence through Cum
berland and washington counties, and
in Frederick county to Fredericton all
in Maryland. Connecting, there was a
road that led to Baltimore, and one
that led to Washington, d. G. The
national road had a uniform width of
eighty feet, and was afterwards ex-
tended westward from the Ohio river
to Indianapolis. Other highways fol-
lowed this pioneer turnpike, and prom
inent among these was the Old State
road, from Albany to Buffalo, and
thence westward through Cleveland to
the prairie lands of the Mississippi
valley.

One OF the most interesting events
of the present season will be the pre-
sentation here at the Fargo opera
house tomorrow evening of the sue
cessfuI Irish play, Ragged Robin,
with the ever welcome Chauncey Olcott
in the title role. The play has been a
phenomenal success throughout the
country and is said to be one of the
most delightful performances OF Irish
drama ever given in the country. More
than that it is the real thing, so far
as Irish atmosphere goes It affords
a vivid and faithful picture of life in
the Green Isle during the first part Of
the last century and, interviewer with
the every day happenings of the peas
antry and delightful bits Of fairy and
folklore, illustrated by songs. elfin
dances and much handsome scenery.
Cha1lncey Olcott has added one more
to his many successes, and not the
least notable of them.
