FORKS GETS
A BOOST FROM
H0TELMEN
Hotel Reporter Has
Fine Things to Say About
This City

The Midwest Hotel Reporter. the
0llcial organ Of the Northwestern
Hotel Mems association, has spoken
IN very glowing terms of the treatment
accorded the delegates to the conyen-
ton held here this year. The follow
ing taken from the editorial columns
Oh the paper speaks for itself:
The 1911 Northwestern Hotel Mems
association convention was one Of the
most important events yet recorded
In the annals of hotel history in the
northwest-tmpOrtant not only to the
aggressive hotel men who were so
fortunate as to be in attendance and
to the splendid organization which the
satnerlng represented, but doubly so
70 the magnificent little city in which
1t was held. Laying aside the conven-
tion proper and its accomplishments,
the Midwest Hotel Reporter has no
hesitancy in asserting that the visit
to Grand Forks was a revelation to the
hotel men who enjoyed 1t. Prior to
that time, the hotel men of the north
west had but a vague idea of that city,
Its commercial Importance, it's beauty
and its metropolitan air. They came,
they saw and they marveled ut what
they found-buildings. business insti-
buttons, we'll paved and beautifully
lighted streets and Industrial enter
prises that would do credit to q city
OF 10000 east or west. They were
lavishly entertained and royalty treat
ed. They became imbued with the
Grand Forks spirit and they left with
"a well defined determination to nut
In a good word and a hardy boost for
the splendid city Of Grand Forks at
every opportunity. The benefits to be
derived by that city resulting from
this visit Of the hotel men is indeed
difficult to estimate. There is no gain
saying that 1t will be substantially
felt for years to come.
The royal entertainment afforded
and the signal success of the conyen-
tion itself is largely due to the hearty
cooperation of the North Dakota Ho.

APPROPRIATION WAS
MADE FOR COUNTY
EXHIBIT
Commissioners Take Import
ant Action Toward Adver-
Using This Section

The board of county commissioners
took an important step toward adver-
Using the resources of this section
when at the regular meeting Tuesday
afternoon 1t appropriated $500 for get
ting together an exhibit of the pro.
ducts OF the county to be shown at
the North Dakota Industrial EXPOSE
ton at Bismarck and at the North
western Products show In st. Paul.
The commissioners are to be con-
graduated on placing this county in
the lead in this important movement.
Word Of what this county has done
has been sent to the other counties
of the state and 1t is expected that
many Of them, especially those Of the
Red river valley, will follow their
example.
The making of the appropriation is
largely the outgrowth Of the efforts
of the Red River Valley Boosters as

board Tuesday and explained to them

this fall.
The exhibit will not be merely for
the two %expositions but will be made
permanent. The collections of grains,
fruits, vegetables and other products
Of the state will be placed on display
in some conspicuous place. The
Great Northern railroad has offered
space in it's display room in the de-
pot at st. Paul for such an exhibit
and this would give an excellent OPP
%portunity to advertise the state.
The plans for collecting the exhibit
have not been completed but it il
probable that prizes will be offered
for the best grains and other products
grown in this county. BY this means
it is hoped to secure a very fine dis
play.
In addition to the appropriations

ribly Mangled at Conway
This Afternoon

Conway, N. D., Sept. 6.-Eric Lar
son, a transient, was run over and
received fatal injuries at 1880 o'clock
this afternoon at this place when he
fell while attempting to catch a Great
Northern freight train. Both Of his
legs were severed from the body and
he was badly mangled. In spite of
his injuries, the "a who was in the
,neighborhood of 80 years of age,
lived for nearly an hour.
From letters and other articles
found on his person and from the few
remarks he made before he died, the
authorities were led to believe that
the man had relatives in Minneapolis.
The twin city police have been noti-
fed of the accident.
Larson is said to have been in this
part of. the country working as a
harvest hand and he was supposed
to have been beating his way back

yome critics, arrived in the city this

his old friends
Cutler moved to this city with his
parents in 1888, when he was s wears
DID, he lived here for nine years, when
his parents moved to Chicago. He had
been back to Grand Forks several
times since, but this is the first time
he has been here in the past six years
In speaking Of the city he said that
he always thought Grand Forks would
amount to something someday, but he
hardly expected to see so many i'm
.provements as there are. Cutler was
accompanied here by his brother Nor
rts, who also was greeted by q number
Of old time school mates.
The coming champion is according
to those who have seen him, a "moose.'
He is an ever six feet tall weighs PA
pounds and looks not only prosperous
but in the pink of condition. In con-
v%ersation with a representative of the
press, he stated that he was mighty
glad that the conductor had happened

him an opportunity to visit his old
home.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO
OPEN NEXT
MONDAY
New Pupils Will Be Enrolled
Thursday and Friday
Forenoons

The Grand Forks public schools
open Monday, September IL. All
pupils who will be 6 years old by Jan.
L, 1912, should enter school next Nom
day If the parents wish them to attend
school during the present school year..
Superintendent j. Nelson Kelly and
Principal w. c. Stebbins will be at the
Central school building Thursday and
Friday forenoons for the purpose of
enrolling new pupils and for the pur-
pose OF classifying those who are in
doubt concerning their classification.
Parents are earnestly requested to
see that their children make use of
their opportunity for classification and
thus avoid the annual rush on the
opening day.
lnere has been an almost complete
mango OF books used In the grades.
Parents should see that all old books
are taken to the book stores and ex-
changed for new books. These old
books will be practically worthless if
not disposed Of at this time. Any old
book can be turned in for a similar
book and the pupil turning in any
book will receive the new book at the
exchange rate.
Parents are requested to see that
the children r provided with the
necessary books before school opens
The books are now on sale at the Van
derhoef and Ontario stores.
Below is a list of books used in the
different grades. This will enable
pupils to make their selections of
necessary books:
Where books are not placed in the
hands Of pupils it is SO stated.
All pupils in the first, second and
third grades should be supplied with
tablet of good pencil paper, size about
SKI inches.
Pupils in the fourth, fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades should be
supplied with letter size tablets, paper
suitable for pen and ink. 1t is very
desirable that pupils in the same grade
have paper Of uniform size.
The page indicated is the one on
which the work begins at the opening
of school.
All pupils above the second grade
should be provided with a half dozen
good b%lotters.
All pupils above the second grade
should be furnished with a pencil, lead
of medium hardness, and a half dozen
pen points.
In order to avoid the rush at the
book stores it would be we'll for pupils
to provide themselves with books need
ed before the ODening of school.

DETROIT'S ALLEYS IN
DISGRACEFUL CONDITION
Continued from page H.

The residents apparently had done
their part, each keeping his ashes
and rubbish from the spring cleaning
OF the premises In one pile, and the
commission had no word of criticism
for the householder. The blame, in
this instance, as in several of those
encountered, seem to rest largely
with the department of public works

attempts to clean up. Fleeing
