MANY AUTOMOBILES
LICENSED FOR
THE WEEK
Out Of Town Automobiles
Have Been Getting Into
Trouble With Police

The police department is having its
hands full at the present time chas-
ing up the automobile livery men and
herding them to the city offices for
their licenses. Up to o'clock this
afternoon twenty-five had heen is
sued for the fair week and more
were turned away for various rea-
sons.
Transportation facilities, to and
fro mthe fair grounds, have never
been better than they are this year.
The street car company has estab-
lished seven minute service from all
parts of the city to the grounds and
the cars have been heavily loaded all
through the day.
Several out OF town automobile
drivers have appeared in the city and
tried to get licenses, but they have
been turned down because of the city
ordinance which requires that every
Mcensee be a resident of Grand
Forks.
Some Of these men have tried to es-
cape the vigilance Of the police but
without avail. Two were taken in
charge on Monday afternoon and one
was arrested this morning. Chief OF
Police Lowe stated today that he
would see that the ordinance was OBJ
served In detail. Everyone operating
an automobile livery without license
is due to be fined.

OF LOCAL
PRODUCTS WINS
ATTENTION
Display Shows Importance of
''Made in Grand Forks"
Goods

The manufacturers of Grand Forks
will be very much in evidence at the
state fair. The entire east side of
the liberal arts building has been re-
served and the space is we'll filled
with fine lot of displays. The ex-
hibit was arranged under the sup
ervision of the Made in Grand Forks
committee of the Commercial club 1t
is one of the finest advertisements
that could be made by the city.
Although this state is not regarded
as manufacturing section, yet
twenty-nine firms of this city have
exhibits Of goods actually manufact-
ured here. The display is attracting
a great deal of attention from the f.ir
visitors and many have expressed
themselves as most favorably impre-
sed by the display this city has made.
Among the articles shown are
bricks, tailored goods, coffees. dust
killer, optical manufactures, bottled
products, blank books, printing, har-
ness, cigars, rugs and carpets, sashes,
doors, grain cleaner, stock food,
trunks, culvsrts, plows, drags, en-
gines, foundry work. crackers and
cookies, -four, monuments, stovepipes,
candies and confectionery, brooms
and brushes and a number of other
articles of local manufacture.
This list gives some idea of the
variety of goods that are manufsctur-
ed in this city. Many people living
here had little idea that so many
articles were produced in their own
city and to the visitors from other
parts of the state, the exhibit is a
revelation.
The exhibit is in charge of Fred
Filteau and has been very artistically
arranged On account of the great
demand for space from other exhibit
ors the space which could be given
to the local exhibit IVES limited but
every inch has been utilized to the
best advantage and the display is
one that is attracting great deal Of
attention.
This is the first year that such a
display has ever been attempted in
this state. At previous fairs, num-
ber of the local manufacturers have
had individual exhibits, but these by
no means conveyed the same impress
sion Of the importance of the city
as a manufacturing center as does
the united display which may be seen
by visit to the east side of the lib
eral arts building.

MANUAL TRAINING IS
AN EXCELLENT
EXHIBIT
Grand Forks Boys Excelled in
Manufactured Articles
This Year

One Of the most interesting exhibits
of the entire fair is that of the man.
ual training department of the Grand
Forks high school. This is placed in
the second floor of the liberal arts
building and takes up more room than
the whole state exhibit of last year
The furniture and pieces of artis-
tic woodwork, show much care and
careful workmanship. The exhibit is
composed of 210 pieces Of wood and
WOODWARD, including everything from
patterns to library tables and heavier
pieces Of furniture.
All of the work shows individuality
especially in the larger pieces. Six
library tables are shown, all differ
in style and are equal in value and
durability to anything sold at mod
crate prices by the dealers. Two
Morris chairs have created consid-
cradle interest by their comfortable
appearance, and couch has also
called for favorable comment.
The Grand Forks exhibit was pre-
pared during the past winter, which
was a profitable one for the local
manuel trsining students, who have
taken a great deal of interest in the
work and under the direction and
instruction Of Prof. E. r. Tompkins
have turned out work that looks as
if it came direct from some factory.
The mechanical drawing and wood
turning exhibits show the class of
work that is done in the local school
both in the elementary and advanced
divisions.
Pattern making was taken up this
year for the first time and the VENT
ure was highly successful. There
are number of wood patterns in
the Grand Forks exhibit.
Several pieces of inlaid work are
also included. A mahogany Jewel
chest inlaid with cherry and ebony,
the product of ]. Stevens of North
wood, is especially we'll made.
Since the articles made the past
year have been on exhibition, the
local boys have been offered various
prices for the results of their years
labor, but all offers have been turned
down. This shows the interest taken
by the workers, and that the work
means more to them than mere
monetary valuation

COMMISSIONS OF ALL SORTS
Captain in Charge of the North Dako.
ia Rifle Team At Camp Has
Unique History

Probably no officer in the national
guard has more interesting history
than Capt. E. c. Gearey, head of the
North Dakota rife team, says the
Devils Lake Journal.
Captain ,Gearey, who is team coach
and In command of the squad enlist
ed as private and has held every
grade to brigadier general. He at

q. d., when Dakota was a territory.
Subsequently served as corporal,
sergeant, first sergeant, second lieu
tenant. first lieutenant; which latter
position he held, serving with Co. B,
First North Dakota infantry when the
late war occurred. He N7ss. mustered
in as first lieutenant of Co. B, and
Immediately appointed acting regi-
mental ordnance officer by Colonel
Treumann and served in that cap: city
until he had Strengthened out the
ordnance equipment of the regiment,
and was appointed regiment;l adult
ant, which position he occupied eros
sing the Pacific at the siege and cap
ture OF Manila and until December IS,
1898, when he was commissioned
captain of Co. B, and commanded that
company through its arduous and
creditable campaign in the Philippine
insurrection.
Shortly after returning to the Unit
ed States and being mustered out with
the volunteers he resigned and retired
but could not resist the call of the
bugle when Governor White offered
the position of assistant engineer and
ordnance with the rank of major and
again entered the service with such
commission. After serving in that ca
pacity for four years he was promoted
to the position of chief engineer and
ordnance officer with the rank of colo
mel by Governor Sarles. AS staff duty
separated him from the old First in
fantry he applied for discharge after
twenty years Of service in the guard
and was retired and breveted briga-
der general under the provision of
the military code.
Again he succumbed to the seduc-
tive charms of military service and ac-
cepted the rank of first lieutenant in

pany, and commissioned by Governor
Burke. After ten months service in
that capacity he was promoted to the
rank of captain and assigned to duty
on the regimental staff as inspector of
small arms practice.
He has been "a member or officer of

WOULD DOCK the AVIATOR
Claim Made by Winnipeg Fair Di.
rectors That Coffyn Did Not
Fill His Contract

Frank Coffyn, the Wright aviator.
is lingering in Winnipeg waiting for
the fair directors to pay him the
$4,000 called for in the contract he
signed. The directors, it seems, want
to dock Coffyn $227.5o for a fight he
did not make. Coffyn on the other
nand states that he more than made
good and thst circumstances were
such that it was impossible to make
the flight on the last day of the fair
owing to the high wind.
The aviator states that he more
than made up for the one fight he
missed by flying three separate times
on Tuesday. The directors think 9TH
erwise and have stated that they do
not think he fulfilled his contract.
Just what the outcome of the matter
will be is uncertain.

Unusual Privilege Accorded the Pekin
State Band While Enroute to
Grand Forks.
Enroute to the city Monday even
ing, the Pekin state band, which plays
at the state fair this year, was al
lowed an unusual privilege, that of
rendering selections both at Lakota
and Petersburg, Conductor Wright
holding the train for that purpose at
each of those places.

special significance, being in memori-
um of the late United States Senator

one of the ardent supporters of the
Pekin institution.
The band Is one of the best in the
state and will be on hand at the state
fair during the entire week.

her stores, our plight would have been
utterly desperate. OF stores In the
ordinarily accepted sense, she had put
a scanty supply, and those of mis-
erably inferior description; but she
contained half cargo of whale oil in
barrels, which now that they are
landed will settle the problem of fuel
for us as long as the last survivor of
our company can hope to remain alive.
And fuel Is, after all, the only neces-
sity which this land itself does not
supply us with. OF course we shall
have to forego the delights of bear
steak when our ammunition gives out,
but walruses we can kill with har-
poons. And with these and scurvy-
grass, which we gather in the valley
every summer, there Is no danger of
actual starvation.

Graduation Day.

Twenty young graduates, one OF
the largest classes in the history OF
the Woodstock High school, received
their diplomas at the exercises held
in Music hall Thursday afternoon,
beginning at $50 o'clock. Every
seat in the hall was taken and all
the available standing room was oc-
cupied.
Sherwin's orchestra played and
with the school chorus directed. by
Mrs. Pinney the musical part of the
program was feature that delighted
the large audience.
The graduating exercises were
gratifying in a very high degree, re-
fecting great credit on all who par
ticipated. The orchestral numbers
were in excellent taste and were ex-
ceptionally well rendered. The
chorus singing Enthusiastically evil
denced the benefit which the young
people have received during the
year under the able instruction OF
Mrs. Pinney. The Salutatory and
Valedictory given respectively by
Miss Mary Hatch and Miss Rena
JENNIE were thoughtful and were
audibly and gracefully delivered.
The address by Prof Lemuel s.
Hastings of Dartmouth college, was
most timely and we'll calculated to
establish broader aims and to stimu-
late-larger effort in the instruction
of youth. In a word, he contended
that the chief purpose of education
should be efficiency, wrought into
which should be the moral qualities
of idealism and integrity.

Talk Of a Gun Club.

The success of the trap shoot at
the athletic meet Friday has .stimu-
lated local sportsman greatly and
already there is talk of organizing a
gun club. There are a good many
guns in this vicinity and many Of
the owners can shoot some, as the
casualties among clay pigeons yes
terday showed, and it is believed
that club of 25 or 80 members.
for the interesting sport of trap
shooting, can be formed with very
little effort. And people generally
would doubtless like to have an
organization of this kind in town.
