new QUESTION may
Be PR0BED BY
COUNCIL
Claimed That Railway Prop
erty Really Belongs to
City Already

When the ways and means commit
tee OF the city council holds q meet
Ing Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock the
question of whether or not q certain
portion Of the Great Northern right of
way located in the west end belongs
to the city Of Grand Forks or the
sidered.
The territory in question is that in
cluded by the railroad property from
the west side of Washington street and
for a distance west of about a half a
mile. 1t includes the round house,
coal chutes. the main track and six
or seven industrial tracks.
In h charter describing the boun-
dartes Of the city 1t is contended that
the property in question Is included as
a part OF the city, while county and
city maps, the county and city records
indicate that 1t is q part Of Grand
Forks township.
For many years taxes from this
property have been paid to the town
ship treasury. and for that reason the
problem that will be presented to the
council ways and means committee is
unusually interesting.
To. Consider Extension
The ways and means committee is
holding a meeting Tuesday for the
purpose of giving general consideration
to the question Of city extension. The
entire situation will be reviewed at
that time with a view to laying be-
fore the council at its meeting Octo.

LIGHT IN BED
Caused Clothes to Catch Fire and
Young Man of City Has Learned
q Lesson,

A certain we'll known young man
OF the city after a rather exciting ex-
p%erience. has made a vow that here
after he will leave experiments in
electricity strictly to Edison and 9TH
ers Of his ilk. His room was chilly
and his bed was also cold and he de-
cided to try to warm 1t.
Experimenting, and having heard
of it being done, he put an extension
electric light in between the sheets
while he Yves preparing for bed. It
worked splendidly and when he turned
in for the night the bed was nice and
warm. He evidently dropped off to
sleep quickly but he awakened quick
when he dreamed Of being captur-
ed by Indians and roasted at the
stake. His nightmare was partly true
as he woke up to find that the bed
clothes were blazing. He tried to put
them out but the blaze ate through
all Of the blankets and quilts he piled
on to smother 1t. A pitcher Of water
put the fire out. but not before the
young man was thoroughly scared.
He has solemnly vowed that hereaft-
he will get into a cold bed before
hes tries to heat 1t with electricity.

HIS SIXTH SUCCESSFUL TOUR
Harold Bauer Who Comes to Grand
Forks Soon Has Made Five Sue.
cessful Swings Already.

OF the great pianists to whom the
term great" might be applied, none
more fully deserves the title than
Harold Bauer. A pupil of Paderewski,
Bauer owes to that great master a
debt Of gratitude for bringing to it's
highest development the musical
genius which he early displayed. At
the same time. 1t may be said that
Bauer Is in a large measure self
taught. Even rs a. boy, he showed
rare musical instinct, and his rapid
advance under distinguished European
masters showed that he was Of no
mediocre caliber. Five times previous
to his present topr. Bauer has visited
the United tsates, and each appear
ance has strengthened his hold on
American favor. In Europe his repu-
tation was made long before he under
took to win recognition in. this coun-
try. He has given concerts during the
past few years in so many continental
cities. that an admirer laughingly has
suggested that the pianist's fame rests
quite as much upon his record as a
traveller. as his skill as a musician.
He comes to Grand Forks as n Of
artists in the Wesley course. :
