Is anything but flattering to Fargo at

cal club will probably have the best
showing in the northwest.
Booster Songs.
Perhaps the greatest hit of the even
ing aside from the announcement Of
the new secretary and the talk by Mr..
Chalmers was the singing OF the
booster songs. The tunes from we'll
known popular songs were sung with
words showing some excellent senti-
ment regarding Fargo, cts present and
future. =
Beside each plate was a book OF the
songs. Two OF the most popular are
given below. Most OF the songs were

which held every hearers closest at

by applause which showed that his
points were appreciated TO the fullest
extent by the great crowd.
Mr.. Chalmers has a pleasant man
ner, keen, Straightforward hit-it-on-
the-head way OF speaking and he
gives the impression that he IL in
dead earnest In every syllable he ut
ters. He gave the business men of
Fargo something to think about. His
talk was Of value to every business
man present, for he gave some hints
about conducting private business,
which he himself has used so success
fully, that will undoubtedly be follow
ed in individual cases by many bust
ness men OF Fargo,
But 1t was In his advice about con-
Quoting the affairs of Fargo as a whole
that he created the greatest enthusl-
asm. His speech will be found in full
on pages and 9 OF this issue OF, The
Forum.
Affair Well Arranged.
The Town Criers club. now an aux
Hilary organization OF the commercial
club was largely responsible for the
success Of the big meeting last night.
1t was this organization which took
the initiative, looked after the pub
LEFTY arrangements and had a large
part In arranging for the features of
the evening.
The great Prize banQueting hall was
filed with long tables running east
and west and they were filled. There
were nearly 500 men at the banquet.
A committee OF the Town Criers'
club, headed by c. ]. Rogers, had
charge OF the decorating. They secur-
ed a lot Of beautiful autumn leaves and
used these and carnations for a pretty
decoration scheme.
Everybody Had Hammer.
At each plate was hammer. On IL
was inscribed: Fargo Boosters ban
quet, Oct. 10
On the other side was the inscrip-
ton: Don't knock, use the hammer to
build better town.
Were they useds When 500 ham
rners began raining blows on the tables

led APPLE TOWN WINS 7 TO STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER
The Wenatchee SIuggers Pound Jensen for
Thirteen Hits Cashmere Team Viii Be
Here Next Sunday

With two of the best pitchers in the
Northwest League TO pick from, Jensen
and Willis, the pride of Spokane, it did
not look like there was much chance
of losing Sundays game; but Brown
was working good and the visitors had
their batting clothes on, and it was
doubtful if Walter Johnson or Christy
Mathewson would have been able to
stop them.
1t was an ideal day for a ball game,
and Jensen's south wing seemed to be
working fine. So he was given the
chance.
The first inning proved TO be the
undoing. Fuller drove out a three
bagger. Ames got walk, stole second.
Lockwood smashed a hot one at Miller,
who fumbled it, and both men came
home.
The score was tied in the second in
ming. Souder was on third and Heidrich
at second, when Jensen hit down the
first base line, scoring both men.
The next and last run for the champs
came in the fourth inning, when Kelso
first up popped one over the left field
fence.
At the close Of the fifth inning the
visitors had piled up hits and runs,
and Willis was sent out to warm up.
Had he been given chance he might
have stopped the hitfest; but the man
ayers evidently thought different, and
decided to keep Jensen in.
The visitors got busy in the sixth
inning and annexed more runs, which
left the score to 4. The remaining
three innings were blanks.
There were three men on the sacks
and two outs in the ninth inning, when
Kelso came to the bat, and the fans
prayed that he might repeat his per-
formance OF the fifth inning; but the
best the old boy could do was to dump
one into the hands of the left fielder.
The score.

A personal letter has been written by
the state bureau Of inspection to D. N.
Gellatly, auditor of Chelan county, ur-
ging him to attend the convention OF
auditors OF the state which will meet in
Spokane, June 10, 20 and 81. Many
matters of great importance will be dis
cussed at this meeting and the bureau
wants to have every auditor present so
that certain matters may be explained
and talked over. The bureau wishes
to put every county in the state on a
cash basis and wishes TO secure the
help of the county auditors as they
have much 10 do with shaping the
financial policy Of their counties. In
regard to getting the reports wanted
made out correctly there has been con-
siderable trouble and this will be ex-
planned at that time to the auditors.
AS the meeting is matter OF education
and viii eventually mean a great saving
to the counties, the bureau says that
the county auditors should have their
expenses allowed by the county com
missioners Of the various counties.

Marriage a Handicap

A bachelor, in Ohio, got married the
other day, and here is what he had to
say: Il have delayed my entrance into
matrimony until this rather late day,
not because OF any lack of excellent
chances, but because made a mistake
and believed that for a young and am
bilious man, desirous of making his
mark in the world, marriage served as a
more or less deteuing influence.

State institutions in Washington seem
to be economically run. AT least they
are not spending all the money allowed
them. All past records were broken
recently when the board OF control
turned back $214,745 as the unex-
pended balances of the various state
institutions out Of the 1909 appropria-
tons, which expired April l, 1911.
More often the hospitals and asylums
use up all their money and go in debt,
requiring deficiency appropriations.

The statment contained in an article
published in the American Magazine
scoring Washington and its taxation
system, that the prosperity of Washing
ton is waning, is excepted to by the
state tax commission which says that
state which in the past ten years has
made the greatest gain of any state in
the union in population, and whose
commercial development in the same
peroid has been even more remarkable,
and which in the past five years has
practically doubled the amount of land
under cultivation, and trebled its bank
account is not very much on the wane.

In its first indictments the King
county grand jury paid its compliments
to A. J. Blethen, editor and proprietor
Of the Seattle Times, and his son, Clar-
ence B. Blethen, managing editor of the
same paper. They are charged with
conspiracy, criminal libel, and several
ether things growing out of the recent
Gill administration. Owing to Mr..
Blethen's vigorous defense of former
Chief of Police Wappenstein, who is on
trial for bribery, the indictments caused
no surprise. In fact the editor OF the
Times was expecting them. He de-
nies vigorously having done any wrong,
and says political animus, fostered by a
business rival, is responsible for his be-
ing mixed up in the untoward affair.

ALL OVER THE NORTHWEST
Progress and Prosperity Day-A. J. Bleihen
indicted Washington National Guard
Demand for Washington Cedar
Seattle, Nav 81.

OF surprising interest to the entire
Pacific Northwest is the observance Of
Progress and Prosperity Day in Seattle,
on June l, for the purpose OF celebrat-
ing the completion and beginning OF
half dozen large projects having an
aggregate value of $100,000,000. The
event has been made public holiday,
in view OF the fact that it marks the
launching of a period of renewed pros
perity in which this whole country will
share. Of prime importance is the re-
sumption of work on the Lake Wash
ington canal under state contract.
The Northern Pacific starts to construct
million-dollar belt line around Lake
Union. The clearing of the site for
the 42-story Smith building, the highest
west of New York, will begin. Under
the head of completed projects is the
arrival of the first through train from
Chicago over the Milwaukee railroad;
the opening OF the Fisher FIGURING
Mills, and the completion of the steel
work of the Hoge skyscraper. All OF
these activities indicate an era OF prog
ress and prosperity in which the whole
Northwest shares.

The Washington National Guard is
in a sorry condition. Its plight seems
to become more pitiful every day.
Since Governor Hay sought to mend it
by discharging Colonels Otto A. Case
and George B. Lamping things have
been going from bad to worse. Now
three of the veteran officers have re-
signed. They are Major Everett G..
Griggs, Tacoma, of the Coast Artillery
Reserve Corps; Major John M. Curry,
North Yakima, Second Infantry; Captain
]. w. Kindall, Bellingham, Coast Artil-
lery Reserve Corps. While all give
business reasons" as the grounds for
retiring, it is known there is general
dissatisfaction among the officers for the
unfairness with which the governor has
handled guard affairs. Examinations
will be held June TO fill the three va
cancies. 1t is predicted that more will
follow.
