BODY Of ROGERS
BOY WAS FOUND
Discovered by Farmer Yes
terday After Being in the
River Since May 8.

After being IN the river since the
night Of May 5. the body OF little
Dorphus Rogers. son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Rogers. was discovered by a
farmer about five miles down the river
yesterday afternoon. The body was
brought to the city last night. and this
morning was positively identified by
the boys mother, who came in from
DraSton. where they now make their
home.
The body. which was quite badly de-
composed. was found fast in a barb
wire fence. The river. which COM
menced to rise after the heavy rains.
had foated the body to a point where
It was caught in the harbed wire
fence.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Rogers made
their home in East Grand Forks up to
about a month ago. when they moved
to Drayton. They were notified Of the
finding Of the body. and Mrs. Rogers
arrived in the city this morning from
Drayton and identified the body as
that OF her son.
The accident. which caused the boys
death. occurred on the evening Of
May 3. The Rogers hoy. together with
a cousin and another lad. were play
ing on the dam across the Red Lake
river. near tne point Wnere the two
rivers join. He was leaning over. and
lost his balance and fell into the va.
ter.
Assistance was summoned at once,
but 1t vas too late to give any as
ststance. The river was dragged all
that night. and the following day by
friends and officials. but no trace could
be found Of the body. After two or
three days. the officials gave up the
search. but the father. hoping that
ne could bring the body Of his son to
the surface. dragged the river day aft
er day for nearly W. weeks.

for their mutual benefit. Grand
Forks has no market place AT the
present time. although a start has
been made by the purchase Of 1S5 foot
frontage on South Third street. There
is hardly a season in the year when a
market place would not be welcomed
lN producer and consumer alike. In
the late summer and early fall. there
is garden produce of all kinds OF the
market. the late fall sees the market
ing of potatoes and other late vege-
tables. During the winter months nay.
wood and meat are offered for sale by
the farmers. while butter and eggs are
on the market the year around. In
larger cities the market place is con-
Gus plans are adopted in the manage
ment of this public selling place.
Some cities provide a city block. while
in other cases a certain part Of a
street is reserved and the producer is
allowed to back his vehicle against the
curb. a small fee being charged for
the space privilege. In all cases a
public scale is provided and in mos
cities Of n size. the city hires a

for his services as weigh master.
Grand Forks Behind.
Few cities Of the northwest as large
as Grand Forks are without this kind
of a market place and conveniences
for the farmers and their families. In
many cities the market feature has
been of slow growth. but in all cases
where the plan has been tried. the city
has been more than repaid for its ef-
forts and expenditures by the added
good feeling on the part Of the farm
ers and the increased incentive for
coming to that particular city to trade.
In n city a lunch room was installed
especially for the use Of farmers and
their families. but it soon became SO
popular that 1t had to be abandoned
from the fact that only a nominal
charge was made for the lunches and
the increased trade made what was
originally intended as a convenience a
money loser. The city faced the alter
native of going into the restaurant
business or getting out of it and chose
the latter.
At the present time no definite plans
have been formulated for the proposed
market. hitching sheds and rest room.
The business men of the city, how

movement and it is expected that some
action will he taken in the near flu

Market Rest O

Proposed for Farmer
BUSINESS MEN AND COMMERCIAL CLUE TAKE
STEPS TO PRoV1DEFoR THE AccoMMoDA-
TIONS BADLY NEEDED IN GRAND FORKS.

With the growth and development
of Grand Forks. the building up of the
downtown districts and the occupying
of open spaces, the need of a place
where farmers may come n hitch
their teams with a rest room or rooms
nearby, is imperative. The establish
ing Of a public market for farm pro-
duce in connection is another logical
step in this direction.
Realizing this need. a Commercial

chairman. William O'Gorman and Max
Rabinovich has been appointed and is
now at work collecting facts and
figures relative to the working cut Of
similar plans in other cities. Already
and it is expected that the committee
will he able to report to the directors
Of the club in the nea future the re-
suits of their investigation.
The Problem.
The problem presented is one which
every city of any considerable size is
called upon to solve. This is especial
ly true in agricultural communities.
Grand Forks depends largely In a
business way on the people living ON
thefarms within quite a radius Of
the city. Grand Forks merchants, and
in fact. business men generally. de-
pend to Il greater or less degree on the
farmers trade" 1t is therefore high
ly important that some provision
should he made to take care Of the
farmer and his family if it is only to
provide hitching sheds for teams and
rest rooms for members of the family
where they can join one another after
the days shopping.
At the present time there are no
such accommodations in the city and
slowly but surely the farmer has been
left to shift for himself. The down.
town districts of the city with pave
ment and street cars make it imprac-
tical for teams and wagons or buggies
to be left standing for any consider
able length of time. The only avail
able places left are the livery stables
and the alley between Kitteon avenue
and Bruce avenu between Third and
Fourth streets. This has been fenced
off by some of the business men and
provided with lnitching posts. 1t gives
no shelter in the winter. however, and
therefore answe the purpose only
during the warmer months of the
year.
Public Market.
Of no less Importance is adequate
provision for a public market where
the producer and consumer can meet
