AUDITORIUM TO
BE DISCUSSED
COMMITTEE FOR BIG coNVEN-
TON BUILDING FOR FARGO
WILL MAKE REPORT AT NEXT
SESSION OF THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB.

The auditorium committee of the
Fargo Commercial club will make its
report at the next meeting OF the club
which will be held the coming week.
The project has been discussed by the
comittee and it is believed uhat it
win make report in favor Of going
ahead with the work.
1t is likely that a finance committee
will be appointed whose business il
will be to call on the business men
and others for subscriptions. 1t is the
general concensus Of opinion from all
classes that such a structure is needed
in this city and it is believed that now
is the time to begin the work It is
more than likely that the committee
will present some plan of work for
raising the money at the coming meet
ing. The big Sangerfest that is de-
sirous of coming to Fargo in 1911 will
be here for sure provided there Is
building suitable in which TO meet. It
is certain that at the present time Far
go has no hall large enough for big
state conventions, and that the audi
forum would supply long felt want.

HIGHER BERTRS
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS.
SION Is EXPECTED TO RULE
AGAINST PULLMANs.

Washington. March Silt is report
ed here that the Interstate commerce
commission will in few days hand
down a decision that the Pullman COM
pany discriminates unlawfully against
the public in charging the same price
for upper as for lower berths in it's
sleeping cars; also that the car COM
pany can reduce its rates without az
fecttng it's legitimate capitalization.
If the decision is handed down ii
will be one Of the most ar-reaching
ever given by the commission.
The recent dividend Of the Pullman
company OF $20,0O0,000 in stock was
equivalent to s40.0O0,O0O, since the
stock ID worth nearly 5000 share. IN
twelve years stockholders have OBJ
tanned from the company $751;, 900 900
or 422 per cent. This is an average Of
nearly 40 percent each year.
The stock was paid for In cash I'D to
$3e,000,00O. NOW the capitalization IA
$4,000 900, of which $4,000 900 has
been taken out OF earnings.

NOISY FINALE IN
DEAR old FARGO
A. Z. HALL STARTED SOMETHING
AFTER GETTING GOODS ALL
LOADED ON CAR HEADED FOR
CANADIAN cLAIM--HE HATED
TO LEAVE THE PLACE.

Dear old Fargo. He couldn't bear
to go away at all and the thought OF
Canada and a claim was more than he
could bear. So A. r. Hall, who has
been distributing tactical juice
about the city, wended his way to
Moorhead this morning, for no other
purpose than to drown his sorrow.
Returning to the Tweeden block,
where his step-d daughter lives, ne is
charged with using language which
does not come within the statutes and
as result the police were called and
Officers Malaney and Pat Gran placed
the man under arrest charged with
drunk and disorderly conduct.
1t appears that ne was already to
leave this afternoon for Canada
where he has taken a claim. His
household goods were all loaded on a.
car and everything was In readiness.
The wife and daughter were at the
station after dinner endeavoring to
find some way to straighten out the
affair They are going down to Min
neapolis where they will live while
Hall is securing title to his Canadian
land. The housekeeper at the block
was apparently determined to invoke
the law in which case it will probably
be tomorrow before Halls start is
made for Canada.

PAVING MATTER
TALK OF The TOWN
MEETING OF CHARTER COMMITS
SION TONIGHT AT WHICH TIME
PRELl5INARY STEPS WILL Be
TAKEN FOR ULTIMATE Consul
NATION or THE PROJECT.

The talk OF the town is the paving OF
that section Of First avenue north.
from the north bridge to Fourth street.
The delay in doing the work has not
been from any lack of enterprise on
the part of the officials, or the citizens
peculiar conditions exist and as a
matter of fact UP to the present time
they have been beyond the means Of
the city to cope with. The paving Of
the section named is all the time bob
Ding up In one form or the other be-
fore the city council, but now that the
paving enterprise, contaminated last
year, is out Of the way, ears which OF
necessity have been deaf are now open
cd and practical propositions may be
entertained and the most feasible one
will be soon presented at the instance
OF the commercial club which in move
ments of this kind is the backbone.
The first step towards the proper
contamination of the movement inau-
gurated by the Commercial club. at its
meeting, Tuesday night will be taken
tonight at a meeting of the charter
commission which will take the initial
step towards framing up an amend
ment to the city charter which is to
open the way for the city council to
take the action 1t must take under
the law, in other words provide the
ways and means for the proposed new
paving. To-Day it seemed as though
all classes Of citizens were a unit for
the paving which will ultimately mean
the boosting " all kinds OF property
values all over the city.

Supervisor Meeker received a tele-
gram from the director of the census
at Washington, this morning to the eff
feet that 257, out of the go recon-
mendations for enumerators had been
approved and lists were following in
the mail. The recommendations not
approved were those which had not
yet reached the director and those for
Mahnomen county which included In
dian reservations, within the Ninth
district In all probability the lists
for all counties, except the one named
and the one for Clay county, which
has already been announced, will reach
the local ONCE by Saturday or Sunday
next Upon the receipt OF the approved
lists commissions will be made out and
forwarded and then the wholesale dig
tribution of supplies will begin SO as
to reach the different enumerators by
April is.
There has also been received at the
local office, circulars of instructions TO
enumerators calling attention to the
act which has just passed congress
requiring the census to ask for the
mother tongue in addition to the coun-
try Of birth. For instance a man may
have been born in Illinois, but his par
ents were born In Austria and their
mother tongue was Bohemian, In other
words the Language spoken does not
necessarily determine the birthplace
The language used in the home ID to-
be considered the mother tongue Of the
son OK daughter.

Grain Opinions.

BARTLETT Patten & Co.; wednes-
days market at least shows that
here are enough believers in wheat
values to stand by their purchases
# new crop futures and not sell out
on the first little talk of rains. The
basis Of such purchases have of the
belief that winter killing has done
lot of damage before the talk Of dry
weather
The cash position remains in the
in the main as formerly.
Finley, Barrell & Co.: We realize
that for the time at least wheat will
continue more sensitive to bullish than
bearish influences.
While corn appears to be a two
sided trading affair at moment we
continue to lean to the bear side as
until stocks show some indications of
decreasing, bears will have much the
best OF the argument
Clement, Curtis a. Co.: Wheat evil
dences a tendency to mark time rather
than to develop any inspiration to-
wards new and higher levels.

tary agriculture and domestic scienca

fall However, 1t is believed that much
more interest would be manifested by
the students il there was a local con-
test to enter first. The winners Of this
would then be in good shape to COM
pete in the county contest.
The bread and cake features of the
contest are new this year, but it is
believed they will be very popular
with the girls who were handicapped
to some extent from taking part Ia the
agricultural contests.
Letters have also been addressed by
the superintendent to the students and
teachers explaining the various feat
ures Of the contest and inviting their
cooperation in the work. Corn can be

ATHLETICS IN ENGLAND
Subject OF Intresting Address at High
School Today BY Professor
Minard.

One Of the most interesting talks
Of the year was heard at the high
school this morning when Professor
Minard Of the A. d. spoke on athletics
&c Oxford, England Having been q
student at that university, his talk was
all the more interesting and was spiced
with numerous personal experiences
Professor Minard compared the condi-
lions of athletics In England with those
In America. There are several differ-
ences In the athletics OF the two
countries, the most remarkable is their
general character in England.
THE weather conditions In England
continued Mr.. Minard, "are favorable
to out door sports the year round.
Gymnaisuns are almost unknown. !
The University of Oxford is composed
Of several small colleges, and the RI
valry between these colleges. says Mr.,
Minard is keen.
Another good feature Of the attn
lerics there is that they are universal. !"
In comparing conditions, he says: "E,v-
every one in Oxford takes athletics. /
was speaking with an expeste iced ath-
lete at the A. c., and we agreed that
only 10 per cent OF The students sn
American colleges are in athletics.
He then told of rowing and the place
1t holds In the college life. Nearly
1000 men receive coaching ara train
ing on the river. There are no paid
coaches. and the coaching is entirely
in the hands of the students. The
eight men who made this years uni
versity eight win coach the new men
next year Athletics are entirely in
the hands Of the students. There are
no gate receipts, but funds are raised
by student subscriptions
One thing that would seem strange
indeed to an American would be the
sight of two teams playing on the
field with no spectators. The game, so
Professor Minard says, Is not played
for spectators, or for the sake OF wi
ming. TITS athletics for athletics
sake, for the good and the fun there
is in it" says Mr.. Minard. He them
told Of some of his experience on the
river and the manner Of choosing the
varsity eight.
In conclusion Professor Minard stat
ed that he thought it would be i'm
possible to supplant the American sys-
tenn of athletics by the English, but
that we in America might do well to
adopt a more general and universal
form Of athletics.

lAfter Eiaht Ysars.

A rare exhibition was given in front
of the county jail at Fergus Falls yes
terday morning when seventy nine
cases and kegs Of beer were piled upon
the boulevard and their contents emp
tied into the gutter. The outfit was the
Barney Nohe stock, which was seized
In the blind pig operated by Barney
Nohe at Pelican Rapids, April 26. 1902
The beer was brought to this city and
stored in the court house here. The
deputy sheriff found that during the
eight years the beer has been in stor-
age, the contents of thirty four cases
had disappeared, but it should be re-
marked in passing that the party who
is presumed to have been responsible
for it's disappearance is no longer con-
nected with the court house.

FORUMS STORY
MAKES A STIR
GENERAL DENIAL ENTERED az
ALL PARTIES TO THE ALICIA
TON THAT A NEW CHIEF or
POLICE WAS BEING coNsID-
Erred.

Not for many moons has local
item stirred up the local political cir
cies like the one in he Forum. last
night referring to the appointment,
by Mayor Davy, of chief of police to
succeed the late Ole Melvey. while
there was some perturbance in one or
two circles, and perhaps a little dis
turbance to plans, no one got real
angry.
Commissioner Sullivan emphaticalIv
uenies that ne is taking any hand in
the appointment, why" he said, II
nave known Mayor Davy for thirty
years and know how futile 1t would
De 70 make even a suggestion unless
ne asked for 1t. While the story was
very interesting, there is really moth
ing to It, so far as my taking any
part In the appointment"
While the gentlemen themselves
could not be seen, their friends were
profuse in saying that Tom Curran
would not take the chiefship il offered
to- him, and that Mr.. Williams has a
business which would not allow him 10
take It, However, ono or two very
prominent men heard Mr.. Williams
name used for the place two weeks
ago.
Mayor Davy said the story was fun
ny and served one purpose, it caused
him to laugh right hard. He Gays po-
lice department matters are running
along very smoothly as they are and
at present he sees no necessity for a
change and that out OF respect to the
late chief he did not propose to show
any unbecoming haste in the matter.
Mr.. Davy also said that he did not
know when he would announce the
new appointment, there is more than
one important phase to the chief mat
ter which must be given careful con-
sideration.

A ripple Of excitement was created
TINS afternoon by rumor which had
It's inception in Fargo to the effect
that party of railroad surveyors had
been seen in the city this morning and
that they were headed towards the

pass through the city they left no
marks behind them and they did not
stop at the hotel They had not been

afternoon.
