Charged With Misrepresent.
Land Values in Oregon
Through Mails

Seattle. Wash. Feb. THE trial of
Millionaire Clarence d. Hillman, the
real estate promoter, charged with

United States Attorney Todd, out

would prove that Hillman laid out the

workmen to be employed in the pros.

With the splendid neucleus now in
the Grand Forks orchestra there is
every reason to expect it to grow to
the proportions of symphony or
chestra. In case this dream is real
ICED Grand Forks will bear the I'M
usual distinction of being the small
est city in the country which supports
such an organization.
OF Practical Value.
There is, unfortunately, a widely
spread mistaken idea regarding the
position a symphony orchestra occu-
pies in relation to its home city. and
Of it's value to the community in
which It is located. Many persons
are too prone to regard an orchestra
as merely ornamental appendage,
serving select few with passing
enjoyment; sort Of expensive show
for cranks and society people, and
using up money that might be better
spent for something of real practical
value. No idea could be more err
roneous, for nothing could be of
greater real practical value to city
than fine orchestra. In Chicago it
Is said that the presence in the city of
$4,000 music students may be traced
to the existence Of the Theodore
Thomas orchestra and its stimulat-
ing effect upon Chicago musical life
and in making Chicago the home Of
many hne teachers and the location
Of many excellent schools of music.

knowledge and love Of music. but

ira has been made possible by the
cooperation In a voluntary manner of
the musical interests at the univer-
sity. Wesley conservatory and the
town musicians. The university is
furnishing the director at no expense
to the orchestra. He is using the
music from his large library. Ten Of
the hest musicians at the university
are assisting also. Wesley conserva-
tory supplies the concertmeister and
four Of her most advanced pupils. The
remaining fifteen musicians are sup
piled from among the best in the city.
Its future depends in large measure
upon this continued cooperation
which will provide a much to be de-
sired public service. In such case
the orchestra will be found in posi-
ton next year to cooperate with the
Wesley college conservatory artists
course in presenting unified series.
The orchestra has been rehearsing
two nights week during the winter
in preparation of program which
they expect to render March 10 at

ing artist, Marie Ewertsen O'Meara,

INVENTS NEW TIRE

A pneumatic tire filler, which tests
show to be puncture proof, practical
ly indestructible and possessing the
same desiliency as the pneumatic in
ner tube, has been invented by d. NJ.
Clemson. president OF the Carnegie
Steel company Of Pittsburg. The sub

sponge rubber.

After 3,015 mile test on a car
weighing $500 pounds. 1000 miles on
country roads and the remainder on
fairly good pixies. the filler was
found to be in perfect condition, al
though two cuts entirely through the
shoe were found, one measuring ap-
proximately one and one-eighth inch
es and the other one and one-six-
teenth inches across. On making q
comparison when riding over rough
cobbles in cars of the same size, style
and weight between air filled tires
and tires filled with the filler It was
almost impossible to decide which
tire gave easier riding.

of the most prominent men in Pitts

MAJORITY FOR
PROHIBITION
West Virginia House Adopted
Dry Measure by Vote of
70 to 9

Charleston. w. Va, Feb. 7.-Only
two votes were cast against the reso-
luton In the house Of delegates today
ratifying the income tax amendment
to the federal constitution, and It
went to the senate for action in that
body.
Opponents of the resolution sub
hitting the prohibition amendment to
the state constitution to vote of the
people were surprised when the reso-
luton came upon third reading in
the house and seventy-three members
voted for 1t and only nine against it.
Fffty-eight votes were necessary for
Its adoption. The resolution was
backed by Rev. Thomas H. Hare,
president Of the State Anti-Saloon
league, and those opposing 1t pre-
dicted that it was doubtful II the res
olutton would get the necessary two
thirds vote. Two years ago similar
resolution passed the house by the
same vote. The resolution prohibits
the manufacture and sale Of intoxi-
eating liquors as a beverage after
July /, 1918. The resolution went to
the senate, where similar amend
ment, effective one year later, 1914,
Is pending.
Only one member of the state SEN
ate. ex-governor w. A. MacCorkle,
voted against the resolution asking
representatives in congress to pro-
pose an amendment to the federal
constitution providing for the election
Of United States senators by direct
vote Of the people. The resolution
was passed to the house without de-
bate.

showed a speed of fifty-one miles an
hour. And that, apparently. is en-
ceptionally fast, even for the out
skirts of the city and good road.
In the city limits folks who go
thirty miles an hour or faster are
rare. The average person in the
street believes that car is going "at
least mile minute" when actually
1t is going about half that fast. 1t
takes pretty good Judge of speed to
tell from the sidewalk how fast a.
man is going and especially is this
the case when there is some traffic in
the street or the way is narrow.
These things all tend to enhance
the speed Of the object looked at. 1t
is safe to say that IL any man drove
an automobile down fifth avenue at
thirty miles an hour, he would give
the impression of going much faster
than that.
Speaking of speeding, there is one
taxicab company in New York that
seeks to discourage it in it's drivers,
and to this end has made friends with
some of the bicycle policemen in the
hope that they will notify the COM
pany If any man goes faster than
twelve miles on hour That, to be
sure, is a violation of the law, but
not such one as would cause the
average policeman to make an ar
rest. Anything over that might do
1t, however.
The taxicab drivers know that some
Of the policemen are on the watch for
such derelictions of duty and they
always take care to slow down to
the required speed when they get
near one of them. 1t isn't so much
that they will get in trouble with the
law either, but they know that if they
go fast enough to be arrested. or if
they exceed the limit the company
has set for them. they will be sus-
pended and SO will lose their chance
to make money for the time being.
This suspension system is adhered
to religiously and therefore the taxi
cab men know what they have to
look out for. The policemen like the
idea too, because it gives them a
greater hold over the taxi drivers,
who would otherwise be the most
troublesome of all the bothersome
customers the policemen have to
handle.

CRONJE IS DEAD
Noted Leader Of Boer Forces in Re
cent War With England.

Klerksorp. Transvaal. Feb. 7.-Gen-
eral Pet A. Cronje, the noted Boer
general, died yesterday.
General Cronje commanded the
western army Of the South African
Republic in the recent war. After
numerous reverses the British gov
eminent sent out Field Marshall Lord
Robert and General Lord Kitchener
with thousands of fresh troops to put
down the Beers. All their arrange
ments were completed by the early
part Of February, 1900. General Cron-
je and his Boer forces were too
greatly outnumbered to Withstand the
avalanche which fell upon them.
On Feb. 18, Cronje was brought to
bay at q point on the .Modder river
near. Paafdebergs where he defended
himself for nine days In a position
that was impregnable to assault, but
greatly exposed to, artillery fire from
the surrounding heights. After suf-
feringy t6ssaoh n degree that his-h{a1
could endure no more, Cronje sur

In 1877 anarchy was prevalent in
the Transvaal, and the annexation OF
the colony to the British dominion
was proclaimed. It was declared. q
crown colony in December. 1870.
A few days later the Beers met and
claimed independence. They seized
Heidelberg and established the South
African republic with Kruger as pres
ident on Dec. IL, 1880.
General Cronje besieged Potchef-
strom, which was occupied by the
British and In the following March
received its capitulation,' keeping the
garrison In ignorance Of the fact that
an armistice had been declared. Com
missioners to carry out treaty OF
peace were appointed and Potchef-
strom was given up as having been
occupied by mistake.
Cronje was instrumental in frus-
trating the Jameson raid of Krugers-
dorf In 1886. He was a member OF
