Owe BERGE KILLED
H|MsELEWHItE
DESP0NDENT
Former Resident One Time
Ontario Store Employe
Took Bullet Route

Owe Berge. for fourteen years an
employe of the Ontario store in. this
city and for the major portion of that
time manager Of the boys clothing
department, died in. q Crookston hos
pital att o'clock this. morning from
injuries self inflicted yesterday after
noon. Dependency is the cause that
has been given for his rash act.
Mr.. Berge shot himself. with a. 20
caliber revolver Friday afternoon,
having just made the purchase Of the
Weapon'.a few minutes before.
1t. was in the j. e. O'Brien hard
ware store at Crookston; that the af-
volver and a box of cartridges. walked
to the front of the store, loaded the
weapon and fired. two shots into his
head.
After the first shot was fired Mr..
O'Brien shouted, take it: away from
him." and Mr.. Stewart. the plumber,
started for the man. who again raised
, a stove just as the second shot was
fred, Berge fell to, the. floor and the
men in the store rushed to him and
called Drs. Randolph and Norman,
who arrived at onc and Rerge soon
regatned consciousness and gave his
name. -
An ambulance was summoned and
he was hurried to st. Vincent's hos
pital where DR.. Norman removed the
bullet from the side Of his head.
While those in the store say they
heard but, two shots. there must have
been three as one bullet pierced the
steel ceiling, another a glass show
case and a third was taken from his
head.
One shot entered the right side OF
his head and skirting under the skin
lodged ON the opposite side of his
head and the second entered his Jaw
and went through the ceiling.
Berge spent a bad night and at z
o'clock this morning his wounds
proved fatal.
Owe Berge of Northwood. this coun-
ty. a brother, arrived in Crookston
this morning.
1t is probable that the funeral serv-
ices will take place i'll this city.
Mr. Berge was well known in Grand
Forks and resided here up to a.. few
years ago. After retiring from the
employ of the Ontario store he was
with Geo. Schwam for a time, and
then went to Thief River Falls. He
had just left that city and was remov-
ing to C%rookston, and had rented a
home there.
There are two surviving children in
addition to the bereaved wife, the
children being IA and Is years Of age.

MERIDIAN ROAD MOVEMENT JOINS THE
GOOD ROAD FORCES OF FIVE STATES

make the establishment of the road
in this state comparatively easy. Then
there is the work of local clubs which
has already been commenced. Hills
boro organized late this summer an
automobile club for the express pur-
pose of making that city the stopping
place on a Fargo to Grand Forks auto
mobile road, and the road work that
that club does can be made a part
of the Meridian road. From Grand
Forks to Winnipeg there exists already
a generally travelled route which can
comparatively easy. be created into a
very fine road, only a small amount
of work being necessary. Between
Fargo and Wahpeton there also are
good roads. SO that. as a whole, the
situation in this state is one that is
easy Of solution.
Movement is New.
Meridian road movement really got
under a The meeting at which the
movement was launched was held in
Salina. Kan, and it was there decided
to build a north and south road
through that state. The success that
had been met with years earlier in the
establishment of the Santa Fe trail
was in reality the impetus that sent
this movement forward. It was along

the same name was later constructed.
Previous to this meeting in Salina
there had been a session at Wichita,
Kan. at which the feasibility Of a
road from Winnipeg to the Gulf of
Mexico. and also the urgency Of such
a road was pointed out. 1t "a out
of this meeting that the Salina session
grew and the Meridian road plan was
formally launched.
. Lies Along Meridian.
The name was selected because the
road lies along the sixth meridian and
because the organization wanted a
short euphonious title. The sign or
emblem that has been decided on is
a blue and T.hite enamel and will be
put up at all turns in the road
throughout it's full length. Turns will
also be marked by painting a white
band two feet wide on three telephone
poles before each turn, one at the
turn, and three after each turn.
Shortly after the Salina meeting
Texas got busy and organized the Red
River to the Gulf Good Roads as
ISOLATION. and since which time State
Engineer Potts of Texas has been en-
gagged almost continuously in laying
out a road from the Oklahoma state
line to the gulf. The state engineer
now says that instead of one road,
there probably will be two roads with
crossovers at various points. Rivalry
for the o a is responsible for this
condition. One road will pass through
Gainesville and Fort Worth and the
other through Denison and Dallas.
Oklahoma is Active.

BASIS OF REAL
SUCCESS
-
DR.. H. G. Herring Was the
Speaker at convoeation

The convocation speaker this morn.
Ing was DR.. Herbert c. Herring, sec.
rotary Of the Congregational Home
Missionary society of New York. His
subject wa "Our Moral and Mental
Heritage" he treated it in a very in.
teresting manner.
Or. Herring opened his remarks
with the statement that it was a point
Of honor with most men to pay there
debts. But to pay the debt which we
owe to the past generations. he said
would be impossible. The gifts from
the past he devided into material
mental and spiritual. Were it not for
the great buildings. structures, books
and other material productions of the
past people would still live as sava-
A man today Is able to learn the
mysteries of the sciences only because
the knowledge has been gathered by
former generations. The spiritual
knowledge, moral standards and religi-
U liberation of the present are the
gifts. said DR.. Herring, of the leaders
Of the past. :,
These debts. said the speaker, can
not be repaid but there are many
things that can be done. The first is
to admit the. debt. This, he said, .ap-
piied especially to students. who were
liable to be egotistic. They should
learn how little they are compared to
thu. accomplishments OF the past.
The second thing, he stated, is ia
assimilate the heritage which is en-
trusted to this generation. The third
and most important thing is to pass
on the gifts, augmented by the per-
sonality of each one.
In discussing the method for leav-
Ing an imprint on the work of the
age, DR.. Herring said, that it could
not be any outward. mechanical form
ula. 1t must be developed from with.
in. To accomplish results, the man
must be self-reliant and self-develop-
ed. The road to self-possession he
stated lay through s~elf-devotfon.
The chief idea Of the address was
that each person should have a defn.
tie purpose in life. The speaker urg-
ed upon his audience the necessity OF
throwing themselves wholly into their
work no matter what that might be.
He said that only in this way could
reach achievements be accomplished

length. and which will pass through

touching Wahpeton. Fargo and Grand
Forks. is the next subject that will be
considered by the road builders of the
North Dakota counties that are in
terested. Already the men in the
southern states who are back of the
proposed road have taken steps to
create interest in this section in the
proposed great north and south high
way. and the matter is in the hands
of commercial organizations in the
three North Dakota cities most vitality
concerned.
The Grand Forks Commercial club.
through its good roads committee, pro-
poses to take an active interest in
the promotion of the movement, be-
lieving that it is a method by which
a great deal of favorable good road
sentiment al be created.
At a meeting of the committee, held
this week. the question was given con-
sideration.
The Meridian road project is one
that calls for the association of forces
of six states and n Canadian pro-
vince. In the southern states. Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas. the movement
there is a great deal Of work being
done. Nebraska has taken to the
project and South Dakota, too, is be-
coming interested. Within a short
time North Dakota will enter the
game and then the Canadian province
of Manitoba and the city Of Winnipeg

expected to join in and complete
the task.
Many Natural Advantages.
More natural advantages exist along
the route that has been chosen than
any other that could be mapped out.
In the Red River Valley of the North
there has been a general awakening
to the benefits that are to be derived
from good roads. and that fact will
