and the husband Of one of the Sal
walton Army ~lassies, was in the army
hall on Tuesday and seeing an open
check book. appropriated it :, He had
been broodihg over tho fact that he
was in straightened circumstances
through the loss of his position and
illness and with debts totaling $500
and q refusal Of credit by various
grocers. the Salvation Army check
book looked to him like an oasis in
the desert Of his troubles.
He secured an old check and prac-
ticed signing the name Of George
Gunderson. treasurer Of the organi-
cation. Late Tuesday afternoon he
appeared at the store Of G. II. OPP
sahl and endeavored to get a check
cashed and to purchase a quantity of
clothing. The size Of the check, $225,
lie not look good to the clerks and
the check was taken to the bank. The
institution wanted Todie. or rather
John Johnson. as the payee, identified.

left the store.

their suspicious were found to be true.

and Todie was shortly afterward plac-
ed under arrest. On his person was
found q number Of more checks made
out to johnson and signed by George
Gunderson. The forgery was very
rude, the capital G being of a differ
ent style entirely from the original.
He confessed that he had forged
the checks for the purpose of secur-
Ing money with which to pay his bills
and to buy groceries and othe: neces-
stiles. This morning in the Jail he was
very penitent and regretted that he
had robbed Peter to pay PAUL."

Canada about a year ago. He claims
to be a native of Ladysmith, South
Africa. where he claims his parents
reside at the present time.

Arbor Day Proclamation
Friday, April 26.

Forests are Of mighty importance
in the economy Of nature. They
shelter man and beast from winters
icy blast and from summers scorch-
ing sun. They contribute literally
to the making Of nearly everything
WI use in home Or profession. They
supply man with fuel for his ireside
and lumber and furniture for his
home. They have a beneficial in
fluence upon the rainfall, the air and
the soil. They regulate the water
supply and waterfiow in stream and
river; war; the cold winds Of WIN
ter. cool the hot winds of
conserve moisture for all plant life.
feed the ever flowing springs of pure
refreshing water. furnish protection
to all animal and. bird life: a play
ground for youth and a refuge for
old age. Next to the soil they are
our greatest resource. and unlike
most Of our resources. they need not
become exhausted except through u
own fault. BY united effort We a
restore the natural forest in all its
original beauty. and by care and Gull
tivation we can grow forests where
trees have eve grown before. Every
lot or parcel Of waste land in the
state ran be and should be made a
beauty spot. useful and valuable, by
the planting Of trees.

HAVING HIS HANDS FULL
Commissioner Kept Busy-Uses
Steam In Thawing Out Frozen
Sewer Pipes.

Street Commissioner NJ. Durick of
the city is having his hands full at
inc present time answering COM
plants and trying to get the sewer
systems In working order again. He
Is taxing every measure possible to
relieve the situation and the work is
progressing as fast as possible.
The past months weather has been
the cause of the trouble with the sew
ers and not the manner in which
they were constructed as has been
asserted. During the past month
there has been many days on which
the ice and snow on the streets had
melted. followed by another freeze
in the afternoon.
In this kind of weather the slusla
which enters the sewers. half snow
and ice as it is, freezes readily when
the mercury drops again. While all
a certain extent. the ice has so choked
them up n places that they will not
carry off the water.
Today the street commissioner is
trying IL novel scheme. He has Sc
cured a large traction engine from
one OF the companies in the city and
is using the steam as an agency for
melting the ice. A! long tube is used
o convey the steam. The means
MIR. Durick states that while the
method of getting rid Of the ice in
the sewers is necessarily slow. the
work is being carried on as rapidly
as possible and it will not be long
before all OF the sewers in the city
will have been flushed. Several other
methods were. tried before steam was
used as a means of flushing the sew
ers but none succeeded as we'll as
the present system.

JUB|lANT OVER HOME RULE
Irish Living in Anticipation Of Pas.
sage Of Btll Which II Is Claimed
Means Much to Sons of Erin.

Judge Phil Mclaughlin has receiv-
ed word from friends in ireland to
the effect that the people are iubilant
in anticipation of the passage of the
home rule bill before parliament at
the present time. According to the
letters received by the local man. the
unionists and those opposed to home
rule in Ireland are making every ef-
fort possible to defeat the measure
which the sons of Erin have strived
for for so many years.
The residents of the Emerold Isle
are confident that with the passage
Of the home rule bill the population
Of Ireland will be doubled in fifteen
years. This is expected by the fact
that many e%nnigrants to many parts
Of the world who left ireland at the
behest of the British government or
for political eason will return to
the "ould sod" The change in poll
teal conditions is also expected to
prove attractive enough to those who
might expatriate themselves to keep
them i'm Ireland.

Agent Hord at International Falls. ac-
cording to word received from there.
The Canadian frontier across northern
Minnesota affords excellent opportun-
ity for smuggling operations. and 1t is
believed tina that avenue of entrance
q been used extensively.
No New Developments at Cando.
Al Cando there have been no new
developments. The goods that were
seized by the customs officer is sup
posed to have been brought into the
country by G. II. Olson. a prominent
merchant of that city who is ever now
on the Atlantic ocean on his way
nome. He Is due to reach Cando the
latter part Of neX week.
Carl Olson, his son. has left Cando,
and it is supposed that he has gone to
New York city. or is in Minneapolis,
in connection with the seizure.
There have been no steps taken
by the officials outside of the seizure,
and 1t is probable that there will he
a. cash settlement, unless new features
are brought to Light.

There has been the largest seat sale

cert tonight OF any number of the Ar

Gadski. The local organization made
a place for itself in the hearts of the
Grand Forks music lovers by the pro-
gram of last year. The orchestra has
been enlarged and has had another
years experience. II is not necessary
this year to import SO manv profess
sional musicians. In fact only one
professional musician from outside
has been engaged. Two local celloists
are in the membership. one of them
being Max Tracy. who has become a
very popular soloist. The concert.
master, G. A. Lampert, is q. great ad-
dition to the orchestra because of his
wide musical experience. including
eight years with the Theodore Thorn

ton with the university orga MIA

From the present indications a ca
