Enthusiastic Mass Meeting.

The Woodman Hall was filled to
It's capacity Sunday evening TO hear
Wayne c. Williams, a brilliant young
attorney OF Denver. Mr. Williams
Is not employed As an anti-saloon lee
turer or any other kind OF lectur-
er for that matter. He is engaged
In the practice OF law. He antagon-
lies the saloon leeause he believes
II Is opposed to the best interests OF
society. He has studied the saloon
question carefully and knows what he
Is talking about.
- Mr.. Williams dealt in an original
Way with the arguments usually ad-
vanced as apologies or defences for
the saloon. The groundlessness OF
the financial argument was shown.
The personal liberty argument was
refuted by decisions from the high
es, courts OF the country. The sa-
loon was shown TO have no legal
rights 1t is not on the same basis
as the grocery or the dry goods store
Whenever IL Is decided that the
saloon is detrimental to the best
interests OF community II can be
prohibited. 1t is affirmed that pro-
hlbition has not diminished, but rath-
er increased the amount Of liquor
consumed. In support OF this the in
creased consumption OF liquor dur
ing the last two or three years is
cited ly the saloon advocates. The
increase of 1910 over 1905 and 100?
has not brought the figures up 10
those OF 1907. Internal revenue sta
tistics show that the increased con
sumption has been in wet territory.
not In dry territory as the saloon
advocates are constantly affirming.
The most conclusive evidence that
prohibition does prohibit is the
frantic efforts made by the liquor
power to repeal prohibition laws.
Mr.. Williams concluded by saying
that the only argument left 10 the
saloon advocate was that the saloon
WAS = good thing for him for per-
sonai reasons and that he did not
dare to make that argument direct
~. Speaking OF the usual misrep-
resen,atiou and vslificas'oa INDUCED

paigns. such ~ 10 on In our nidst,
he said he did not blame them for
this WAS all that Was left for them
10 do.
1t looks like Mr.. Williams had cor.
rectiy diagnosed the situation. does
II not, What is 10 lie said OF a
cause that has TO be defended In
this way What a pity that citt
zens OF an enlightened community
like this can be hired to put up
such arguments for the saloon.

CITY TO HAVE A
MARKET DAY
BOOSTERS HAVE STARTED CAM
PA'eN FOR A MooRHEAD MAR.
kET DAY, APRIL 22, FREE SALES
AND ENTERTAINMENTS TO BE
ORGANIZED.

The talk Of the town today was the
monster market day which is to be
held in Moorhead. Saturday, April %.
Max Simmerman, the market day
booster, arrived in the city last even
ing with retinue Of assistants and
the planning for a monster occasion
was begun forthwith. Mr.. Zimmerman
today was displaying large photo
graphic pictures OF market day held
at Alexandria, last Saturday. 1t was
great success and the numerous at
fractions assembled by the promoters
OF the enterprise brought to the city
hundreds of visitors from the sur
rounding towns and villages. There
were sales galore, several bands Of
music and many delightful entertain
ment features.
Mr.. zimmerman says the outlook
FOR Moorhead is exceedingly bright for
the enthusiasm shown towards the
market day enterprise is more marked
than at any point he has been at. Full
particulars will be announced in a day
or two and then the campaign of
boosting will be on. The local BUSH
ness men are taking to the idea like
a duck to water and the prediction is
that the town will be congested with
sighseerS on the day named.

Wife OF SENATOR
LAMOURE IS ILL

Bismarck, N. D., April 7.--Sen. judi
son LaMoure, the oldest member of the
state legislature, was called unexpect-
eddy last evening to his home in Penn
bina county, by the illness of his wife.
Mrs. LaMoure has been an invalid for
more than year and confined to her
home ever since a railroad accident
about eighteen months ago.
The aged senator said he regretted
to leave at this time. but it is thought
the probabilities are that he will be
able to return to the impeachment pro-
ceedings by the first of next week.
The devotion of this couple is very
marked and beautiful to note, and has
made a marked impression on all the
members of the upper house. who,
while they were sorry to see him leave
just now, were glad to excuse him so
that he might be enabled to be of
service to his devoted life companion.
Mrs. LaMoure was in Bismarck dur
ing the legislative session this winter
for a few days, but could not remain
owing to the condition of her health at
that time.

EAST SIDE NOTES.

Alderman Wagner: I don't believe
the breakup conditions this spring
will require the taking down of the
small foot bridge structure between
this city and Fargo I am taking a
daily view of the situation and shall
continue to keep in close touch with
conditions until all danger has passed.
Under instructions the street commits
sioner has anchored the timbers of the
structure to both shores, so that if
there should come a sudden rush OF
ice the anchorages would prevent the
woodwork from taking sail UP to
Grand Forks. To take the bridge
down means a great Inconvenience to
many people.
Peter e. Hanson is now postmaster
at Lake Park. The location of the Of
flee is to be changed and new fixtures
are to be installed. Miss Marie Ber-
geson will be the assistant, a position
she has held for over FIVE years.
John McGrath declined an offer a
few days ago of $38 an acre for a
farm short distance west of Barnes
vile; pretty good evidence that the
farmers of Clay county are not losing
faith in the fertility and productive
possibilities of Clay county.
At the meeting last night the mem
bers of the local lodge Of Modern
Woodmen Of America were RECALLED
with the reading by the editor, N. j.
Larsen, of the news and articles in
The Hazel Camp News, vol. /, No. 1.
The twelve pages of the paper. which
is a neatly written manuscript. are
brimful of the newsiest kind of fra
ternal, personal and other news-if the
other papers should print the scoops
there would be sensations galore.
S. ]. Patterson Of McHenry, N. D.,
has concluded a visit with Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Long.
The supper and sale of work, under
the auspices Of the Ladies' union Of the
Congregational church last night was a
great success, and snug sum was
turned over to the society's treasurer.
Socially, too, the affair was very en-
joyable.

the opening, there was further realiz-

COMMISSIONERS
RESOLUTED TODAY
THEY RUSH TO THE DEFENSE OF
COUNTY AUDITOR LEWIS AND
CHARGE THE FORUM WITH
CRIMES IT HAS NEVER CON-
MITTED.

In Wednesdays issue Of The Forum
there was an article which gave an ac-
count of the dissatisfaction of the
members of the drainage board with
the records of the funds of that board
as kept by former County Auditor
Lewis.
Statements were published as to re-
quests made by Deputy County Treas
urer Eddy on County Auditor Lewis,
and Of his claim that the auditor failed
to comply.
Another statement was published,
made by Clerk Buchholz, now deputy
county auditor.
The Forum published this article
without malice against Mr.. Lewis and
simply as a matter of news picked up
by it's reporter among the routine at
the courthouse.
There was absolutely nothing in that
article in any way rejecting on the
honesty of Mr.. Lewis, as alleged by
the county commissioners, in the reso-
lutions they adopted this morning.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, There have been published
in The Fargo Forum and in several
VA AAAC h<A4iy AACN 0PcBNAo Vi POil9
and st. Paul, articles seriously re-
fecting upon the competency, honesty
and integrity of Arthur G. Lewis late
county auditor of Cass county; and
Whereas, The undersigned, members
of the board of county commissioners
of said county, have carefully and
fully investigated the particular mat
tiers set forth in said articles; now,
therefore be it
Resolved, That said articles are alb
solutely and entirely without any
foundation in truth or in fact what
ever.
That the books and affairs of said
office of county auditor are in excel
lent shape and in all respects legal
and proper.
That we denounce said articles,
coming as they do at a time when Mr..
Lewis, after an honest and faithful
service of eight years as county au-
ditor of this county, and after a resi-
dence here of more than twenty-five
years, is leaving this state with his
family to reside elsewhere, as a sour
rilous, unwarranted and untruthful
attack upon his character and reputa-
ton, and as wholly false and untrue;
be it further
Resolved, That copies Of these reso-
buttons be sent to The Fargo Forum,
the twin city papers which have pub
lished such articles and to other
newspapers of the state.

Mernina Grain Letter.

Chicago, April 6.-Liverpool &0B
lower The weather in the winter
wheat country this morning in clear
with seasonable temperatures. In the
northwest 1t is partly cloudy but not
precipitation. We look for a market
more or less of a trading character.
There seems to be considerable I'M
certainty about the position of May
wheat and we would advise our friends
to trade in more distant months. There
is nothing in the cash situation TO en-
courage holders and crop prospects
could not be better.
COrn-Further sales by country were
noticed yesterday and with clearing
weather and the drying up of roads,
we look for free deliveries. There is
still undoubtedly a long interest in
May corn, which will have to be
liquidated or changed over to July or
September. We can see nothing bull
fish in the situation and cash demand
continues very moderate.
Oats-There is a decided disposition
on the part of the country yesterday
to sell for shipments and fair-sized
purchases were made. The demand
keeps only fair, while stocks are still
large. Bartlett Frazier CO.

The committee of seventeen mem
bers of the commercial club, appoint
ed at the meeting of the club, We'd
nesday night, met in the office of S. G..
Comstock, pursuant to notice. this
morning. The business considered
was ways and means to be adopted for
the securing of the several thousand
dollars needed to complete the fund
required to purchase the site for the
proposed Hotel Moorhead. A sub
committee was appointed to prepare
soliciting form for the required funds
and frame up recommendations as to
method of procedure, the same to be
reported to another meeting of the
committee to be held at O'Clock this
afternoon. There is a coterie of BUSH
ness men in the city strongly in favor
of the organization of a local COM
pany to take hold of erecting and fur
nishing of the hotel, but nothing
substantial so far has been suggested.

EXHIBIT PROGRAMME
Besides Viewing Copies of Great Pie
lures, Visitors Will Be Other
wise RECALLED.

The people of the city are taking
considerable interest in the array of
pictures which are on exhibit in the
model school building Of the state
normal school, adults, young people
and children alike. All seemed to have
realized that, to know art, pictures
must be seen. The mere reading Of
descriptions of the great masters is
not sufficient, and next to viewing the
originals in the great picture gall
leries and museums a view of good
copies is better than no view at all.
The exhibit now at the disposal of
lovers of pictures enables one to be-
come more or less acquainted with
the ideals of the great artists accord
ing to the capacity of the viewer Of
the picture, to grasp the soul and spirit
indicated through the medium of the
artists brush.
For the entertainment of the visitors
to the art exhibit at the normal school
this evening the following programme
will be given:
Selections from Tennyson's Idyls Of
the King
Sir Galahad 1890. Maude Hanson
The Passing of Arthur Julia Strand
In a Gondola (Robert Browning) II.
.................. Sophie Mathison
Interpretation of the picture, Joan OF

GRANDIN FARM
IS TRANSFERRED
BONANZA FARM AT kRAcNEs
SOLD TO o. p. WILD OF De kALs
ILL. AT $s5 AN ACRE FOR 1855
ACRES AceREeATING OVER
$4,000 IN MONEY.

A real estate transfer of more than
usual interest was made a day or two
ago in the Office OF the register of
deeds Of Clay county. The papers re-
present 1885 acres, comprising the
Grandin farm in Kragnes and the con-
sideration was S65 an acre.
The lana was all located in township
141, range 4S, and was represented In
two deeds and a mortgage.
The first deed is from ]. L. Gram
din and wife to the Brown-DaslSin
Co. of Hope, N. D., and the considera-
ton named in this deed is 81. This
is no doubt a trust deed. The sec
ond deed is from the Brown Daskin
Co. to Daniel P. Wild of De Kalb, Ill,
it covers all of the property mention
ed above, and the consideration is
$120,60S.15. This is sos per acre for
the entire farm and is said to be the
largest bona fide consideration of any
single deed ever filed in Clay coun-
ty. 1t is said that there have been
one or two deeds filed in the early days
where larger consideration was nam
ed, but that these considerations were
in all cases fictitious.
The mortgage is given by Mr.. Wild
to j. L. Grandin, covers all the pro-
perty described and Is for $55,650.
Upon this mortgage registry tax of
1878 was paid, being the largest mort
gage registry tax ever paid in Clay
county.
The Grandin farm in Kragnes town
ship, northwest of Moorhead, is locat-
ed in one of the finest farming sections
of the county. Mr.. Wild has secured
one of the finest pieces Of property
in northwestern Minnesota, and this
enormous investment shows that he
has confidence in Clay county.
