WHERE WILL Line
CROSS The RIVER?
THIS is THE ALL IMPORTANT
: QUESTION NOW PULLING Lo-
CAL PEOPLE INTERESTED IN
THE PROPOSED NEW ExTEN-
SION OF MILWAUKEE ROAD.

Where will the proposed new line
of the Milwaukee ROAD. which Is head
ing towards Moorhead and Fargo from
Hutchinson, cross the Red river?
Yesterday the surveyors reached a
point a little east and north of Finkle,
within three miles of Moorhead as the
crow flies. When the surveyors
reached the Al Jones farm near the
Weidemann road the surveyors stop
ped work, loaded chains and instru-
ments into their wagons and return
ed to Sabin. There are sixteen men
in the party and all of them were as
mum as oysters as to future opera
tons
People who were out towards Finkle
today brought back word that there
were no signs of resumption of run
ming the lines by the surveying party
this morning so that there is nothing
to do now, for those interested but
to patiently wait for the next move.

new ORDINANCE
IN EFFECT TODAY
PEDDLERs WILL HAVE TO PAY
500 LICENSE FROM NOW on
ONE APPLICATION MADE OF
CITY AUDITOR FOR NEW IL
cENsE UNDER ORDINANCE.

The new peddler's license, passed re-
Gently by the city council, went into
effect today, in accordance with the
law which makes such a requirement
Immediately upon publication OF the
ordinance. All peddlers wishing to
continue operations in the city will
have to comply with the new rules or
abandon their business in the city.
One application was made for a new IL
cense at the city auditors office this
afternoon but was not issued owing
to lack of the required amount on the
person Of the applicant His appli-
cation viii be held until tomorrow
without extra charge
The new ordinance will have great
tendency, 1t is believed by many of the
city officials, especially in the health
department, to rid Fargo of many UNI
desirable fruit peddlers whose goods
have been condemned by the city
health officer. Those who have always
maintained a high standard of fruits
and vegetables will doubtless remain
in the city under the new ordinance.
All those who fail to secure licenses
from now on will be charged a penalty
for each day without license.

SAYS The WEST

TROUBLE WITH COAST COUNTRY

TIMES oVERDRAWN STATE.
MENTs OF REAL ESTATE MEN,
SAYS w. l.. VAN HORN.

While / am glad to get back to
Fargo" said w. l.. Van Horn, who has
just returned from an extensive visit
In the northwest, there is no getting
away from the fact the west is a
great country. The only trouble with
that country is that 1t is doomed too
big by the real estate men out there.
Il have a number of friends in
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana and had chance to get down to
the exact facts in the case as regards
to lands and crops. | find that things
are stretched considerably by the land
dealers. There is no doubt but that
1t is splendid country and a rich
one, but | do Hot think the soil is
any better-the only difference being
an advantage in climatic conditions.
From what / could find out the
great reports of enormous crops some
times heard must be taken with a
grain of salt / have friend who is
living in one section Of that country
who told me that when he went out
there the land men told him of a farm
that was yielding LOO to 1900 crates
of fruit per acre and that it was sell
ing at $3.50 per crate. This friend
was later given the opportunity of
hearing the owner Of the farm referred
to talking to another man from the
east. The easterner asked if it were
true that the farm was producing be-
tween 900 to 700 crates of fruit per
acre as the land men reported to him,
and the owner said that it was not.
The friend Of whom / speak later
bought q crate 0f the fr,1ft IN +ha va
tail market at $1.25. This is one of
many examples of a similar nature
that came to my notice.
However, there is no getting away
from the fact that the west is a won
derful country and was much pleas
ed with it." Mr.. Van Horn was pro-
testing against the statement made in
The Forum last night to the effect
that he did not like the northwestern
country.

Old Ben, Weighing Half a Ton, 10
Often Met on the Streets
of Avalon.

In describing the islands lying of
the southern coast of California Fred
erick Holder writes: "The feature
which will really amaze the wanderer
among the Channel islands is the
tameness of some animals. To meet
bull sea lion weighing approximate
ly half ton on the main avenue of a
town, so. feet from the water, is a pos
sibility of startling nature, yet I
have seen Old Ben, the head of the
Santa Catalina sea lion rookery, on
Crescent avenue. Avalon, surrounded
by tourists who snapped their cam
eras at him with impunity.
AT that time Ben could be induced
to come ashore when the lure was a
fat, long-1nned tuna, but one day he
climbed upon the wharf, coming en-
tirely up the steps. following the man
with a fish. Then some unreasonable
person made threatening demonstra-
ton; Ben started for the step, lost his
hold, slipped and fell, smashing them
and wounding himself For a long
time he remembered this, but gradual
ly his faith in human beings has re-
turned.
He is good-tempered and never at
tempts to bite. But he is a savage
looking animal and when he comes
leaping up on the boat landing, driving
off women and children by mere
ferocity of appearance. and seizing
their fish, as he did recently, he makes
a very clever imitation of ferocious
beast"
