air resistance is reduced to the mini
mum and the speed attained is WON
derful.
About FOrty.Five an Hour
Speed attained by Parmalee in his
hight today was remarkable compar-
ed with ground vehicles, as he cover
ed space at the rate of between for
ty-five aud fifty miles an hour. 1t is
we'll known fact that an aviator
must drive his machine not less than
thirty miles in order to fly and that
fact adds greatly to the perils that
beset the birdmen.
Looks For Big Week
Parmalee looks for a great week.
He gives promise of the very best
kind Of flights from himself and is
more than interested in the success
of the Grand Forks aviator, Thomas
Mccoy. With the two Of them maxi
ing flights, he declares North Dakota
will have little to ask to complete
their entertainment program. He
knows his own ability for aerial
entertainment and has heard enough
about McGoey's work up to the pres
ent time to feel that the aviation fea-
lures of the week will be decidedly
good.
Seldom Garry Passengers
We seldom carry passengers" !"
said Parmalee this morning. "Once
in while we take up newspaper
man." whereupon the interviewer i'm
mediately began to assure the aviator
Of his own qualifications.
1t was in Los Angeles that had
quite an experience in taking up pas
sengers. One morning eleven news-
paper men were given rides in the
biplae and one Of these was between
60 and 20 years Of age. AS he got
into the machine he was seemingly
shaking from head to foot, and he
was decidedly scared when he got out
again, but he would make the trip. l
gave him nice easy ride through
space and after it was all over he
was one Of the happiest Of men,"
Gets Business Like
Parmalee, as rule. is not of a
serious turn Of mind, but about the
time for the flight arrives, he as
sumes much more business like air.
"The flying business" he declared,
''is no Joke" as he busted himself in
making the final prepa rations for the
trip through the air.
Once it was over again, Parmalee
was Just as good natured. Just as con-
genial and appeared just as content
ed with the world in general, as eyed.
But flying is real business and while
he never overlooks an opportunity
for fun when the opportunity presents
itself, he doesn't stand for any mon
key business" around his biplane. He
knows the flying game and its dan
gers, the number Of men who have
paid the penalty of carelessness with
their lives is sufficient for him to use
every care in preparation for his
flights, and while his exhibitions in
the air are thrilling, and his machine
cuts figures that are perious to the
man who drives, still he is always
careful. is always on the watch for
anything that might happen which
would cause trouble. and It is prob
ably largely on account of that fact,
that he has been SO tremendously
successful in the dangerous game of
the air.
The evening times., 1911-07-25

Grand Forks thousands throng the
grounds of the North Dakota State
Fair association today, the opening of
the great 1911 exhibition Of this states
wonderful resources, more complete
in every detail than any fair ever be-
fore held in the history Of the COM
monwealth, being the occasion OF q
general holiday In the city.
From 8 O'clock this morning, when
the gates were thrown open, the
crowds have docked to the fair
grounds. BY 10 o'clock, the hour set
for the formal opening of the great
exposition, the grounds we're already
comfortably crowded by early arri-
walls, while the laggers In the matter
Of preparing exhibits found them
selves somewhat handicapped by the
constantly growing numbers who in
sisted on seeing everything.
BY IL o'clock some idea of the vast
crowd that was In attendance during
the afternoon was gained. The
grounds at that hour were fairly alive
with people, and from then on to 2
o'clock there was such q rush to the
great fair park as has seldom been
witnessed in the city.
With practically every business
house in the city closed-banks, public
Offices, stores, factories and other
business places alike-the hundreds
who are employed began their Jour-
ney to the grounds to participate in
the opening day festivities. They come
from every direction, by every means
Of conveyance, and rapidly the sue
cess Of the first day-Grand Forks
day-was assured.
Weather Was Perfect.
Perfect. weather prevailed. Out of
the northwest there came a cool
breeze, and with a bright sun, track
made perfect by the recent rains, and
with background Of great waving
fields of green. the spectacle that was
presented to the thousands in the
grand stand and bleachers this after
noon was one Of beauty. and grandeur.
Bands playing, the shouts Of the
barkers, the hundred and one other
features going into the makeup Of
a real live fair, were to be heard
throughout the grounds. At their end
fof the grounds, the big tractor engine
display was to be heard all day long.
Constantly blowing whistles, the puff
fing Of the pullers, and the operation

to the din that was created, and each
making the scene more bewildering
and wonderful to the great crowds.
As one worked toward the west
end OF the grounds. sounds familiar
to the barn yard we're to be heard.
In the poultry sheds the roosters
seemed to vie with each other in the
creation Of hen music, while further
on the great stock exhibits seemed
to realize and appreciate their own
importance as never before.
Eyerything Started Promptly.
g It was Is IL everybody and every
thing had been waiting for the word
"go" today. as every department open
ed with q rush. The Kline shows, the
vaudeville numbers In. front Of the
grand stand, the races. and the varied
other attractions for the visitors, were
all seemingly ready and waiting for
the hour that should bring the great
exposition into being.

| crowds as they reached the grounds
in the afternoon, and. as they flowed
in and out Of this or that building,
and spread over the ground, they
found nothing lacking. The fair man
agement had made good in every de-
tail, and they are giving today's crowd
just as big q show as will be given
any day during the week.
Scenes Are Interesting.
Scenes on the fair grounds are re-
plete with interest. In the stock
barns, filled to overlooking, are to be
found the pride of the northwest in
the matter Of stock. The horse barns
are today housing the best the three
states-Minnesota, North and South
Dakota-have to offer. while in the
poultry sheds fanciers of the barn
yard fowl have displayed their best.
In the liberal arts building there
never was a finer line Of merchants
displays than is to be found this
year. There are 80 many new features
to be found, so many more complete
displays, that visit to the building
will require some little time to COM
plete. Upstairs are to be found the
women's department, the fine arts, the
educational and portion Of the game
and fish exhibit.
Along Midway scenes familiar to the
fair-goer are again to be found. The
Kline shows have a number of good
attractions that will prove good win
ners. Concession lane is banked with
concessions Of all kinds, the eating
houses being particularly interesting.
Races Attract Attention.
The splendid race card today at
tracted great deal of attention. With
a big field of starters in both of the
harness events, and with one good
running race on for the day, the race
enthusiasts will have all they want
In the way of entertainment.
Exhibits Are Crowded.
The need of additional buildings for
the display of the exhibits was never
80 pronounced as this year. The great
manual training exhibit by the Grand
Forks public schools had to be re-
moved from the liberal arts building
to the upper piazza of that building,
and there 1t has been arranged in a
splendid manner. The agricultural
display long since had to find place
outside Of the building and Is housed
In q big tent, while in the machinery
section, the ground is literally COW
cred with machinery.
In the cattle and horse barns the
same conditions prevail. many of the
exhibits being kept outside on account
of the lack Of space. The vast ey-
hibits Of this season makes 1t certain
that additional buildings will be re-
quired next year.
Wednesday Just rs Big.
Wednesday-the second day Of the
fair-will be just as big as was today.
Excursions will be operated to the city
over several lines, and they will all
bring big crowds to the city. The regu-

HOUSES BURNED
Warned to Leave Brookhaven and

Fire Bugs.

Brookhaven, Miss, Oct. 21.-The
burning of two houses belonging to f.
N. Bryant, a negro editor, at Brook
haven, has started an investigation
by Fire Marshal w. J. Miller. Bryant
is a Jackson negro. He was arrested
in Jackson about two weeks ago on a
charge of criminal libel and attempt
ed to have his case removed from
Brookhaven to a less hostile neigh
borhood.
Last Wednesday house owned by
the negro editor situated near the
center of the town was burned, and
a few days afterwards the torch was
applied to another house short dis
tance away. The police of Brookhav-
en- claim to have evidence that the
second house was deliberately set
afire.
The people of Brookhaven are much
wrought up over the mysterious fires,
and it is said that the Insurance de-
partment has been called upon to
make an investigation.

ing that their names be placed on the
ticket. The commissioners did not
know exactly what course to pursue
and wired Attorney General Hudson
for advice in the matter, to which he
replied, THE names of defeated can
didates in the primary elections can
not be placed on ticket in general cleo
tion in November. See sections 1921
and 3717 of the code of 1906 This
would seem to settle the cases of the
candidates, defeated in the primary
election, who want to run as independ-
ents in the general election, but the
ballot commissioners decides what
names shall go on the ticket and is
said to favor putting the independents
thereon. Should the names of the de
feated candidates, who want to run
again in the general election go OF
the ticket and any one of them elec
ted over the nominee of the Demo
cratic party, it is confidently expected
that contests will grow out of the gen
eral election, as did the primary.

The Forerst County Election Com
missioners in performing their duties
the past two days, preparing for the
general election to be held next
month, found that they had inherited
some of the troubles and tangled stu
ations, growing out of the Beat pri-

devoted several days to hearing con-
tests during the last six weeks. 1t
was the duty of the commissioners to
decide what names should go on the

matter after the voters had made the
