Comments on the Fair

Mimic Journal: The writer Of this
had only time to spend one day at
the state fair at Grand Forks, so he
only saw a portion of 1t. The fellows
down the pike do the fair proposition
on SO big scale that it takes more
than few hours to get passing
glimpse all up and down the line of
the big show they assemble, and then
they fill in with such q continual
round of attractions that one is kept
looking two days for Sunday" if
his stay is limited.
Lankin Reporter: All from Lankin
who attended the .state fair at Grand
Forks were we'll pleased with the
treatment received at the hands of
the people of that progressive city
Bathgate Pink Paper: The man
agement Of the state fair is to be con-
graduated over the success of the
last meet. 1t was bigger and better
than ever before, and while lacking
in some particulars. it was in those
! lines which can be remedied by an
active management. There is no
doubt of the fair being in able hands
and that great progress has been made
and can confidently be expected in
the future If Mr.. Bacheller continues
in his present condition.
Petersburg Record: The North Da.
kota state fair which closed in Grand
Forks last Saturday night, was one
of the most successful exhibitions that
has ever been held in the state. The
agricultural products, machinery, cat
tie and horse exhibits were the larg-
est and finest yet gotten together
and the amusement features provided
were of the highest class. In, addi.
tion to the Wright aeroplane, the To-
cal aviator, Thomas McGoey, gave
several excellent flights, using hit
homemade Curtiss biplane. The mex
big event in North Dakota will bt

in Bismarck September rs to Octo

Gilbreath promises one Of the great

He urges all counties to arrange a

SHORT FREEDOM

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 5.-Walking
slowly away from the crew he was
working with, William Young, an in
mate at the state penitentiary, Sc
cured forty-five minutes of freedom
and was captured three miles north
of here by Guard Mason.
Young is a member of the brick
yard crew, stationed about half a
mile north of the institution, and
was noticed walking away from the
plant by Mason, in charge of a field
crew some distance away. Mason
called to him to stop and then
brought his crew in and started out
after him.
The alarm was given at once and
posse started in search. The dogs
found the trail at once and were al
most upon Young when Mason rode
up and pointing gun at his head,
asked him what he was trying to do,
the convict replied jokingly that he
wa looking for some new potatoes
but could not find any. Young was
sent up from Morton county in No
vember Of 1909 on four year SEN
tence for resisting an officer Of the
law. His short vacation is liable to
prove dear to him,

CONTROVERSY IS
NEARING. CLIMAX
Tuesday Evening May See the
Settlement of Minot Nor
NAL Site squabble

Minot, N. D.. Aug. 5.-Develop-
ments locally in connection with the
selection OF a site for the new normal
scnool, the center Of heated fight
extended back over a period of months
and which will reach the climax next
tuesday evening when a mass meet
ing OF citizens will be held before
Messrs. e. j. Taylor and F. A. Will
son. president and secretary Of the
board of normal trustees, to whom tho
proposition was referred by the board
at Its meeting in Bismarck this week.
The attempt that was made this
week to disqualify Martin jacobson,
the local member of the board of
trustees, on the ground that he had
personal interests in the selection Of
site, has caused no little comment
here and the outcome of the PROPOSE
tion is being watched with interest.
The affidavit filed with the board has
been referred to the attorney general
In calling mass meeting Of the
citizens to meet with Messrs. Taylor
and Wilson when they come here
next week, it is the plan of those in
terested to secure a general sounding
OF the community's sentiment There
is opposition to the site already select
ed, and bitter warfare has been
launched that bids fair to disrupt
plans of the board of trustees unless
action is taken next week.
The plan of holding local election
on the question of location has had
considerable consideration. 1t is con-
tended by many that this is the only
fair plan that could be adopted that
would bring about a complete and alb
solute statement of the local senti-
ment, and it is also argued that selec-
tions made by the board with the ad-
vice of such an election could not be
complained of.
People all over the state are taking
deep interest in Minots fight, realiz-
ing the various interests that are at
work in favor Of this or that PROPOSE

MANY ARE COMING
Palermo Receives Inquiries and Visi.
tors for the Reservation

Palermo, N. D., Aug. 5-Although
the opening of the Fort Berthold In
dian reservation is nearly two weeks
away, hundreds Of people, both men
and women, are already arriving here
to look over these lands which are
by all means, the finest agricultural
lands in North Dakota. A stage line
of twenty automobiles is already in
service between this point and the
reservation and it is predicted that as
many more will be called into service
within week.
Palermo is the nearest point on the
Great Northern line to the reserva-
ton, being just twenty miles north
of the gates. l.. R. Hannah, secre-
tary of the Palermo Commercial
club announces that he is receiving
numerous inquiries daily as to these
lands and the manner of acquisition
of title to the same and he has a
corps Of stenographers at work an
swering these inquiries and sending
out literature. Mr.. Hannah predicts
that the opening Of these lands will
bring many thousands of people into
this part of the state.

as many more as the floor could ac-
commodate is pretty strong. Grand
Forks people must not do such things
If they expect people to support the
!air.
Michigan Arena: OF the host. who
went from this city and vicinity to
visit the state fair at Grand Forks we
have yet to discover single person
who returned dissatified with the ma
ture' of the entertainment afforded or
the high character of the exhibits,
agricultural or otherwise. The writ
er, also, was pilgrim to this famous
mecca and is certain that, notwith-
standing the excellence of last years
entertainment and display, the fair
of 1911 utterly eclipsed 1t Id every
way.
When Parmalee took the airway in
his big Wright aeroplane, the
thoughts Of visitors of that other year
went back to gallant Archie Hoxey,
who thrilled the big crowds with his
daring at the fair of 1910, and who
plunged from the zenith of his fame
to earth and death few months aft
erward. Parmalee, careful and far
seeing, lacked, to our way of think
ing, the daring dash of his buoyant
and ill-starred teammate, but his
flights were practical and illustrated
! best the safety and stability of those
apparently frail craft with which man
scales the blue.
Aviator McGoey, the first North Da-
kota man to build and fly his own
aeroplane, which is of the Curtiss
type, proved to the cheering multi
tude that he has passed the fedgling
stage, and, If his star be right, will
be an important actor in the making
of aerial history.
| We desire also to commend the
taxidermy exhibit of w. H. Williams,
which was revelation to the vast
majority of those who beheld it. Mr..
| Williams is more than a mere taxi
dermist, he is an artist whose sub
jects seem perpetually fixed in liv-
ing trance Of graceful posture. So
varied and beautiful an exhibit of our
native bird-life must have awakened
or renewed in many more proper
regard for the protection and pre-
servation of the wild cousins of lake
and stream, forest and prairie.
The great exhibit barns quartered
such pedigreed aristocracy as has
never before been assembled in this
state, the poultry house testified to
the merits Of multitude of various
fowls. The barkers piled their seduc-
tive art at the entrance of half
hundred excellent attractions, and the
great good -humored crowd went tho
rounds. we'll satisfied with itself and
the fair.

Fargo, N. D.. Aug. 5-Mrs. James
Coleman, wife of acting desk sergeant
of police. had most unpleasant ex-
perience yesterday about 10:30 while
at her home at 112 Tenth street north.
She was engaged at the sewing ma
chine when she heard a noise in the
bedroom and on going there found a
man in the house. She asked him
what he was doing when he made
some kind OF a remark, but his an
swer was not at all satisfactory. She
remembered that her husbands re-
volver was in the pocket Of the lat
ter's coat and she seized it and order
ed the man to go. He started at once
at the same time dropping something
on the floor.
After Mrs. Coleman had backed the
man outside the house she walked
back to the room and found her gold
watch lying on the floor where the
fellow had dropped it.

Stanley, N. D., Aug. 5.-Winter
wheat will be an important product

that were obtained by several of the
farmers who tried out that grain this
year. Seeding of the winter variety

rye, too, will be a much greater crop

the Northern Pacific company. sher-
if Romer received a letter and photo
from Chicago from a man who is no
doubt, a brother of the man found
dead near Eldridge and whose re-

pocketbook. with the name Of August
Waznonis thereon was not the name
Of the dead man, but was that of his
brother who resides in Chicago and
whose address was also on the slip
Of paper. He wrote that his brothers

heard from him was that he was
working on boat on the lakes.
The parents of Waznonis reside in

.OUN'S WEEKLY
TRADE REVIEW
Moderate Bettefment of Trade
Conditions Was in Eu-
dence This Week
New York. Aug. 5.-R. G. Dun and
company's weekly review of trade to-

New York, Aug. 5.-R. G. Dun and
company's weekly review of trade to-
day says:
Moderate betterment in trade con-
ditions appears this week. The ex-
traord1nary government cotton report
showing with one exception the high
est July condition estimate for thir-
teen years, caused more hesitation
among buyers Of dry goods, although
the tone In this line was trifle bet
ter both at wholesale and retail.
Consumers Of iron and steel con-
stantly place moderate orders for ear
ly delivery. Mill operations reflect
further expansion and there is prom
Use OF increased activity in the fall.
The railroads show more disposition
to provide for needed equipment. Or
ders for rails have reached quite a
satisfactory tonnage at the west, and
plate interests have received a con-
siderable volume of business from the
transporting companies. In the lat
ter division prices are unsettled; ir-
regularity also appears in steel bars,
wire products and galvanized sheets.
Current statistics indicate further
enlargement OF production, the lead
ing interesting having about seventy
six per cent of its ingot capacity ac-
tive, while the rate at which speci-
fications are being received suggests
that few more blast furnaces will
be put in operation. There is more
animation in foundry iron.
Moderate improvement appears in
dry goods both at wholesale and re-
tail, although the government report
on the cotton crop, showing further
marked gain, creates considerable
hesitation with buyers who limit their
commitments until they are assured
of the markets stability. Curtailment
by the mills becomes still more dras-
tic with the approaching end of the
cotton year and decreasing supplies
for immediate consumption.
Exporters are Withholding orders
but shipments to date are materially
ahead of a year. ago. Mems wear
trade in woolens is somewhat back
ward, but buyers concede that values
are more attractive than year ago
and it is noted that while purchases
rule small requests for prompt ship
ment are frequent. In the New Eng
land market the wool trade is broad
ening and cnoditions at the mills show
considerable improvement.
New business in footwear continues
conservative, changing style still be-
ing paramount. factor in restricting
trade. Eastern manufacturers are
receiving some fair sized mail orders
and some factories are fairly busy
with the current demand. Leather
trade is unsettled by the decline in
hides and this has caused some buy
ers to withdraw their bids.

London, Aug. 5.-Money was abund-

Of favorable progress in the arbitra-
tion of the dock strike. Light cover
ing for over the holidays also helped
prices advance.
