1911 VIII Be Banner Year for
Automobiles in North Dakota

THE Fargo Auto & Supply Co. ex-
poets still greater business in 1911
than in 1910,' said their representative
to The Forum. 1--WE have made every
preparation for an unusual business
and we expect that our belief will be
shown to be well founded when the
warmer weather Is under way Ger
tainly no greater interest was ever
shown in the automobile than at pres
ent and we will be very much mis-
taken in our judgment Of 1911 does
not far outstrip all other years in
the grand total of sales in this section.
mot alone in our new car business,
but in our tire repair business do we
get reflection of the sentiment to-
ward automobiles We find that the
commercial car is entering the field
alongside the pleasure car and that
the people Of this section of the coun-
try Is turning more and more to motor
driven vehicles of all descriptions.
If our advance information is at all
to be reliedgupon and we believe it is,
there is coming the greatest era OF
motor driven vehicles that this coun-
try has ever seen, we mean North Da-
kota, and we look to 1911 to make a
record that will make former years
look small. One thing is certain and
that Is II the prospects OF o crop are
at all favorable the farmers will be
back in the game with a vengeance 1t
has been established that the auto
mobile fills place In this country of
railroads and long distances which no
other vehicle has ever filled, and until
some one shows us a better or more
economical method OF transportation
for farmers and others living remote
from the centers OF population we re-
fuse to believe that there will be any
decrease In the demand for cars
We see more active and genuine In
terest than last year at this time and
we are making every preparation for

pleasure or a business vehicle. We be-

are not fulfilled
Ball Is Chock Full of Hope.
w. M. Ball Of the Wheelock Auto
Co. is another of the optimists who
sees in the coming season a record
breaking business. Said Mr.. Ball to
The Forum: 1T is q fact that sales
fell off badly in the latter part of the
1910 season, but that fact will in no
wise affect the sales in 1911, which
believe will be greater than ever be-
fore. We sold nearly 100 cars LAST
season; we are making preparations
for an increased business and fully
expect to nearly double our business
this season. A tremendous advertising
campaign has been conducted on the
Overland and we are reaping the bene-
fit In increased sales every day Adj
vance demonstrations have indicated
an unusual amount of interest on the
part Of the public and will undoubtedly
result in greatly Increased business.
"As last season. we shall feature the
Overland, believing thar this car meets
the needs or car drivers In this section
OF the country, and the growth of the
business. the responsiveness OF the
manufacturer TO existing conditions

business.

really getting under way and with tho
work incident to moving we are hard
| ly able to state just what we will be
able to do. Our information, however
all leads to only one conclusion, and
that is that North Dakota, under any
decent crop conditions, will see q year
of automobile selling that will put al
previous records in the shade. Every
where we get this information and our
trips through the country have i'm
pressed us with the fact that this ir
automobile territory great in its pos
sibilities.
1.-THE Glide for 1911 is an improve
ment over all previous models and is a
car of practical utility as well as an
especially graceful and speedy car. The
recent reduction in price from $4,000
to $4,000 has reused an unusual amount
of interest, and we are getting en-
quiries from all over our territory,
showing that the intending buyer is
alive to the things that are taking
place in the auto world.
I'VE shall be greatly disappointed IL
every agency in Fargo does not make
a record In 1911, and we certainly
propose to share In the general pros
perity. We expect to have an interest
ing announcement to make in the near
future about the addition of another
popular line"
Price Says Auto Business Grows.
w. j. Price OF the Fargo Plumbing
& Heating Co. states that there is
every evidence of an increasing inter-
est in automobiles from their orders

more and more automobile supply bus

KENYON SURPRISES
BY STAND AGAINST
RECIPROCITY BILL
Sides With Iowa Farmers,
But Thinks Taft Will
Be Reelected.

Senator Kenyon Of Iowa has come
out definitely against the reciprocity
measure. He is now in Iowa, and he
has given out an interview there in
which he says he expects to vote
against the bill.
But while voting against reciprocity,
Senator Kenyon declares President TAFT
will be renominated. and in his tudg-
ment reelected next year.
Senator Kenyon has sent letters OF
inquiry to thousands OF Iowa farmers,
and is convinced they are against reci-
procity. He says he does not believe
personally that reciprocity will injure
the agricultural interests, but in view OF
the sentiment of. the Iowa farmers he
deems 1t his duty to resolve the doubt
in their favor.
The announcement that he will vote
against reciprocity has come as some
thing of a surprise because Of his re-
TONS with the Administration. He
was in charge of trust prosecutions for
the Department of Justice before he
was elected Senator.
1t has been expected that most Of the
insurgents would ultimately vote for
the reciprocity agreement, including the
two Iowa Senator's, Cummins and Ken
yon. The Kenyon interview makes Ii
practically certain that the reciprocity
agreement will be passed almost Who'll
ly by Democratic and regular Repub-
hcan votes.

H. C. c. Stiles Objects to
Directors Plan for Dis

The directors Of the Chamber Of Com
merce will have no vacation this sum-
mer, SO far as their duties as directors
are concerned. An attempt to dispense
with further meetings of the board OF
directors through the summer at the
July meeting last. night was met with
vigorous objection by H. c. C. Stiles,
who insisted upon continued activity
throughout the summer.
The directors listened with interest to
the report OF Granville NJ. Hunt, chair
man Of the conventions committee, who
told in detail of his negotiations with
Aviator Atwood. Upon his motion suit
able entertainment will be provided for
city. The president and executive COM
mittee were authorized to act in con-
nection with the entertainment. Will
lam F, GUIDE made statement to the
board that he had received a telegram
from Jerome Fanctuln, asking whether
Washington would raise 5000 for At
wood II he should fly to Washington.
Mr.. GUIDE said he answered that he
didn't think so.
After a statement of the purposes of
the Southern Commercial Congress by
c. J. Owen, its commissioner of agrt-
culture and an Endorsement by William
H. Saunders, the directors appropriated
$500 for the use of the congress. To
print copies Of the goods in bulk law
for distribution to retailers, $50 was ap-
propriated upon recommendation OF the
wholesale trade committee.
The election of a successor upon the
board to the late Percival M. Brown
was postponed until September out OF
respect to the memory Of the deceased.

PROPERTY OWNERS
Special Counsel Submits Re-
port on Station Improve
ment Claims.

In the settlement of damages to
property resulting from changes made
in the grade of streets, avenues, and
alleys in connection with the erection
of the new Union Station. the District
has paid a total of $439, 49S.10, according
to the annual report of A. Leftwich
Sinclair. special counsel for the Dis
trict OF Columbia, submitted to the
Commissioners today.
There were eighty-four claims for
damages heard and determined by the
grade damage commission, consisting
of Charles A. Baker, George w. Moss
and George Spransy during the year
ended June 90, involving III pieces OF
realty. In thirty-one of these cases,
involving forty-five pieces of property,
damages were awarded land owners,
aggregating S19,045. In ffty-three cases
the commission awarded no damage
whatever, upon the ground that the
damage alleged to have resulted to the
property under consideration was on
set by the benefits and advantages ac-
cruing to the property, in consequence
of the elimination of grade crossings,
and the establishment of the new Union
Station.
The sum Of $3,575 was saved the Dis
trict during the year by the comprom-
Use Of six cases in which jury trials
were ordered by the court, upon the
filing by the Commissioners of the Dis
trict, Of expressions Of dissatisfaction
with appraisements made by the grade
damage commission. Twenty-Five cases
are awaiting trial by appeal juries,
the law providing that an appeal may
be made to a jury of seven from the
finding of the grade-damage commits
sion.
The District, since 1904. has saved a
total of S35,lO0 by the compromise OF
eighty cases in which appraisements OF
the commission were disapproved by the
Commissioners OF the District. The
work of the commission, according TO
Mr.. Sinclair, will be concluded within
the next fiscal year.
