NO STRIKE SOON ON
MEXICAN NATIONAL
Mexican Employees Decide
That 1t Might Cause
Trouble Now.

The proposed strike OF the Mexican
employees OF the Mexico National rail-
road has been set over for two months
and will not begin August as was
at first decided The strike was set
over to go into effect after the presf-
Dental election in the fall, IN order
to prevent any trouble which might
be caused at the time Of the election
The demands of the men will be made
at once in order that the railroad com
pany will have the two months to
consider them.
According TO railroad men the strike
may take on just a demand for higher
wages instead of the removal of the
American employees as was at first the
issue Many of the Mexican employees
DO not want the removal Of the Ameri-
can employees by this means, as they
work side by side on many of the
trains and say they are well satisfied
to have the Americans working on
the road with them.
The meeting Of the Mexican en-
ployes (which has been going on in
chihuahua city for the last week. Is
expected to be concluded Saturday.
and the demands Of the employees viii
probably be made next week The
American employees viii probably not
be parties to the strike as their wages
are about the same as paid on the
American roads.

from the town as there was a plank
stretched across the track.
An investigation was made and a
lone Mexican was seen sitting on a
fence near the track weighing his fin
gers from the end of his nose at the
train crew. The rurales Immediately
moved out of the coaches in which
they were travelling and the Mexican
jumped from the fence and took to
the underbrush.
No other mishap occurred on the
trip and the Magonistas failed to show
up near the train. The rurales, how
ever. will remain at Villa Ahumada, as
they are to garrison the town per-
manently in the future. The six that

the train to be ready in case of a Ma

BIG MEETING AT
CRITTENTON HOME
ANNUAL MEETING or BOARD or
DIRECTORS WILL BE HELD TO-
NIGHT, WHEN REPORTS WILL
BE RECEIVED - SUPPER sERv-
ED THIS EVENING.

One OF the most interesting events
of the week is the reception which is
being held this afternoon at the Flor
ence Crittenton home for eli the
friends of the institution. During the
year the girls OF the home have been
taught cooking and sewing, and this
afternoon samples of the work have
been placed on exhibition. Besides the
samples in all lines OF sewing, a num-
Der of finished articles will be placed
cut for inspection.
The work in the home has progress
ed with rapid strides during the past
year and throughout the state much
interest has been shown. Miss Lillian
Topping, the superintendent of the
institution, has visited a number or
the principal towns of the state and
has told about the work and what 1t
has accomplished. She has been listen
ed to very eagerly, and when the work
has been discussed In many OF the
women's circles in the state, it has
been heartily supported. The ladies
at Grand Forks have shown especial
interest and have aided the work ma
terially.
The open house this afternoon was
taken advantage of by a large num-
Der of ladies in the city, who are
interested in the work, and the pro-
gress of the girls of the Home along
home industrial lines.
meeting of the board OF directors
will be held this evening. At this
meeting the annual reports of the
year will be read and the further
plans for the new building talked
over. The basement and first floor Of

the directors are much encouraged.
At o'clock this evening a dinner
will be served to the friends Of the
institution by the girls of the home
under the auspices of the board of
directors. The preparations and serv-
ing of this dinner will be left in charge
of the. young ladies, and those who

ARBOR DAY TO
BE OBSERVED
TOMORROW is A LEGAL HOLIDAY
BANKS AND OTHER PUBLIC
OFFICES WILL BE cLosED-DAY
WILL BE OBSERVED IN THE
SCHOOLS.

Tomorrow will be observed generally
throughout the city as Arbor day. The
banks Of the city will be closed and
also the federal building. Business in
general will no doubt be slack on ac-
count Of the observance of the day.
The schools of the city will not be
closed, but exercises and a general
clearing Of the grounds will be in
dulged in aside from the usual school
work The school grounds Of the city
are well planted with trees but shrub
bery and smaller plants will be set out
by the children to help beautify the
grounds.
Unconsciously a sort of rivalry has
sprung up between the children of
the different schools and each child
has a pride in keeping his own school
grounds as beautiful as possible and
free from paper and rubbish. Tomor-
row is the day that a general cleaning
up will be made, and in a short time
when the grass becames longer and
| thicker, with the pretty small plants
which will be planted tomorrow get
started, each child in the city may
safely say that their grounds are a
big factor in the improvement Of the
city.

THREE LINKERS
HELD MEETING
THE s2Np Anniversary or THE
FOUNDING or /. o. 0. r. CON-
MEMoRATED 5Y A JOINT MEET
ING or FARGO AND MooRHEAD
LODGES IN THIS CITY.

The 92nd anniversary Of the insti-
tuition Of odd Fellowship was appro-
priately observed by the brothers OF
Moorhead and Fargo lodges, in the nan
Of the former, last night. In addition
to the members Of the local lodges,
many Of them accompanied by their
wives and daughters among whom
were members Of the Rebekah assem-
bly,; there were a number of visitors
from other towns. The GROWING feat
ure of the occasion was an address by
Bro. Rev. william Edwards Of Chris
tine, N. D., whose subject was, The
History and Philosophy OF Fraternity.
From the first the speaker commanded
the closest attention Of his hearers
for he had something to say and knew
how to say It and 1t was felt that
the history and facts related had been
gathered after no small amount Of la
Dor and research.
The speaker said that the great work
OF Oddfellowship is the philosophy Of
ternity is written on the tablets OF
Egypt and Phoenecia. The English al
phabet, received from the Phoenecians,
which they received from the Egyp-
tians, contains many of the signs and
symbols of the older fraternities. He
gave a vivid explanation of symbols,
including the cross which antedates
christianity, being found with its four
triangles in the dawn of history. The
early fraters used a sign to convey a
sound. The beginning of the secret
lodges was when the wise Master
Builder OF the universe built upon the
three pillars of wisdom, strength and
beauty. Oddfellowship is a development
and growth, by the law Of evolution,
from that early craft antedates all
others, whose circle is the world, upon
whom ever watcheth the all-seeing eye.
Mr.. Edwards closed with a dramati-
cation of a tragedy in real life, as ex-
pressed in human experience of grief
and broken hearted sorrow. showing
the value Of secrecy, combined with
the real manifestation Of friendship,
love and truth, the trio of cardinal
principles of Oddfellowship.
Miss Hill of the Rebekah assembly
in Fargo gave a short talk for the
good of the order, musical numbers
were given by Mrs. Bowman and Miss
johnson. p. @. EnOch Hagelin read
the proclamation Of the anniversary
and Frank Corch played selections on
the harp. The closing feature was a
very hospitable service OF refreshments
by the hosts OF the evening.

ORDERS REGARDING
NATIONAL SHOOT
ORDERS FROM WASHINGTON
STATE THE DATE OF NATIONAL
SHOOT FOR NATIONAL GUARDS
TEAM FROM NORTH DAKOTA
MAY BE DIFFERENT.

Orders were received today from
Washington by Capt. e. G. Gearey,
jr., inspector of small firearms of the
North Dakota National guard stating
that the national individual cham
pionship shoot will be held this year
Aug. %. The national team shoot will
be held Aug. % and 20 and two days
will be given over to preliminary prac-
tice on the national range. The place
of the big shoot this year has not been
named.
The North Dakota team this year,
Will, according to orders, be made up
of twelve men, one team captain, one
team coach, one spotter and three al
ternates. A range officer and surgeon
may also accompany the team.
Although 1t has not been announced,
it is rumored that a change in the
manner of selecting the North Da-
kota team is contemplated, which, II
adopted, will change the personnel
of the team that has heretofore at
tended the national matches. The pro-
posed change, If made, will stimulate
rife practice on the home range.
Competition for the North Dakota
team will probably be held at the an
nual encampment at Devils Lake, in
July.
One Of the most important changes
in the order from Washington is that
practices on the national range viii
not be permitted prior to the days des-
| ignated for such.
