ROADS.

The road Improvement Is not as
marked as some of the others. but
still there is commendable progress.
The road machine and the large gang
OF workmen are now at work on the
Mumford road and the farmers that
come to town that way speak highly
of the extent to which II is being i'm
proved.
The Improvement in Bryan is
marked. The tax rolls show an in
crease of SSS,00O in valuations for the
past year. The schools are larger and
better and the enrolment larger. The
field for Improvement Is yet wide and
many are the needs. but with as loyal
band of citizens as we have and the
Commercial Club putting forth every
effort to build up the town. greater
things yet are in store for us.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
DIRECTORS MEETING.

The regular weekly meeting of tn,
board OF directors at 10 O'Clock this
morning was attended by ten mem
bers. The first business was the read
ing of a minority report from the wa

report follows;
The Board of Directors, Bryan Com

Gentlemen-Your committee on wa,

following partial report for your con,
sideration and action: At a special
meeting of the city council held in the
city hall September Is, 1910, your
committe was present by special re

B. Carson. copy of which is hereto
attached and made part of this re-
port.
His honor, the mayor in presenting
this proposition, stated that there was
now great quantities of waste water
being discharged into Bryan and Main
streets at different points. On account
of all the places along Main street
having been stopped from using the
surface sewer on Bryan street, that
there was danger to health and prop
erty in this. and that it is urgently
needed that relief be afforded He
sated that the city now has certain
notes that NE believed could be nego-
tiated that would place a fund of
about $4,000 at the disposal of the
city to defray the estimated cost OF
this work, and that this work would
be part of the entire sewer system
to be finally extended If the work is
now put in it would afford ample re-
lief TO the congested territory and to
the courthouse and grounds.
Now as to the recommendation OF
this committee. As general business
proposition, we would not advocate do
ing a large piece of work in sections,
yet there is no reason why work so
done should not be as permanent as
though 1t were all done at one time.
Financial conditions have to be con-
sidered. and as the need is urgent. we
believe this work could be begun un-
der the plan proposed in this PROPOSE
tion To that end we would suggest
that a resolution be passed by this
club recommending its acceptance. in

FARGO AND THE FORKS.

During the past week many residents
of Grand Forks were in Fargo attend
ing the North Dakota State fair. The:
presence was doubly welcomed, not
only because of the fact they helped to
swell the crowds-but because of the
spirit shown by the visitors. With very
few exceptions the Grand Forkers were
complimentary in their remarks about
the exhibits, the races and the special
features OF the fair.
It looks like the effort to harmonic
the differences between Grand Forks
and Fargo over state fair matters is
progressing. Last year many Fargo
ans attended the big show at Grand
Forks and The Forum hopes ten times
as many more will go next summer
Almost every one will admit it is a
nuisance to have a state fair on wheels
but so long as the present arrange
ment continues there is no reason for
the people of Fargo and Grand Forks
being at each others throats-or ridi-
culing and criticising the efforts of the
rival cities to make the state fair a
success.
There are a lot of good people at
Grand Forks. Fargo claims to have a
few. There is certainly no reason why
these can't cooperate and have a good
natured rivalry instead of bitter, be-
llittling, annual scrap.
The Forum believes it speaks for
every one with the best interests of
the state fair and of Fargo at heart
when it expresses it's appreciation of
the spirit shown by the people of
Grand Forks and of their presence in
Fargo during the past week.

TELEPHONES IN LITERATURE.


The boy at the telephone switch
board at the Flower hospital in New
York saw a light fash on the board
one night, indicating that a connection
was wanted.
He listened, but no request for a con-
nection came. He heard, instead, crash
after crash, sounds of heavy blows
and then the cries of some one In pain,
pleading for help.
The flash on the board indicated that
it came from the drug room Of the dis
pensary. He rushed to the place. to
find that the drug clerk had been beat
en- almost into insensibility by an en-
envy who had called to settle old scores.
The assailant was afterward captured
and imprisoned The desk telephone
had been upset during the encounter,
and the receiver had slipped off the
hook-thus flashing the connection sig
nal and giving warning of what was
happening.
1t is almost uncanny to contemplate
the part enacted by the telephone,
when one realizes that in effect 1t saw
a crime being committed and reported
it and was the means Of the criminal
being captured-thus putting itself on
the side of law and order and civiliza-
ton.
The telephone comparatively new, is
not only bearing a large share of the
burden of the worlds work and ad-
vancing civilization-but is being in
corporated into the worlds literature
and history.
Such striking instances as the one
at the Flower hospital are being seized
upon as material for stories of con-
temporary life, and therefore, a part
of history, and themes for motion pic
ture dramas. The chief illustration of
this is the story that relates that
husband is talking to his wife hun
dreds of miles away when burglars
break into the house and murder her
and her baby, all of which he hears
through the telephone-but is helpless
to render aid.
The history Of any useful invention
is, first, it's experimental and show
stage-next, its application to the af-
fairs Of life and next, it's becoming
such an integral part of life that it is
reflected in literature.
The longow, the portcullis and draw
bridge, and the catapult played a great
part in ancient life-and many were
the stories woven round them. They
are known only from their having been
incorporated in the literature of their
times.
The telephone has passed through all
these stages, and is met in the stories
and the plays-but by no means does
it show any signs yet of becoming an
Gent history.

BURKE AND HIS HORSE.

At the military review in the pad
dock at the race track Saturday after
noon, Governor Burke was mounted on
one Of the horses Of the trained show
troupe. The First Regiment band
struck up a popular selection, often
played for the performance Of the
trained horses. The animal on which
the governor was mounted wanted to
get the rider into the limelight-and
began to prance around and backed a
third of the way across the paddock.
The incident aroused shouts of mer-
riment and the governor apparently
enjoyed the fun--despite the fact he
was the central figure-and a decidedly
participant in the entertain
ment of the spectators.
