chinist for several noted automobile
racers. AS a chauffeur in Chicago he
took up aviation. his license as a
chauffeur having been revoked be-
cause of persistently exceeding the
speed limit. 1t was then he changed
his name to Ward. and he acted as a
chauffeur between times. He married,
and recently had trouble IN Chicago
with his wife. The trouble was set
tied in some way as he brought an
other wife to st. Hilaire. where she
will remain visiting his parents for
three weeks.
Ward received a beautiful medal for
being the youngest aviator at an east
ern meet. and is but 26 now. slight.

MORE PUBLICITY FOR GRAND FORKS;
AMERICAN ZIMMERMAN BOOSTS CITY
Declares That Community E ~xe1npliies Fact That Enter
prise Has No Limitations in Its Efect-Results Are
Continuous And Progressive

From the American Lumberman. a
publication issued in Chicago. comes
the latest recognition of Grand Forks
as IL progressive city. The article in
question was written by T. p. Mont
fort. Jr.. of that publication. and who
was In Grand Forks about weeks
ago, speaking to the Grand Forks re-
tail merchants on the question Of
community development.
Here is what the Lumberman has
to say of Grand Forks:
Its Own Chief Competitor.
Grand Forks. N. D.. exemplifies the
fact that enterprise on the part of a
town has no limitations in its effects
but that instead the result is continu-
III and progressive.
Grand Forks. through its CONNER
cial club. has done many things. But
the achieving Of these particular aims
has by no been the extent Of
the accomplishment. A spirit has
been produced determined ON even
bigger and broader things for Grand
Forks and Grand Forks county.
THE town has come to feel 1t has Il
record to maintain or. to express it
more fttingly. n record to exceed. 1t
is Its OWL chief competitor. Because
1T did this thing and that thing last
year it must do larger ones this year.
1t is watching itself in a critical mood
and of course it would never do to
%disapoint such an august critic.
Walked Up by u Rival Town.
For the real awakening of its civic
spirit Grand Forks. however. has an
far as this other town was concerned
1t was a case of its playing the part
of an involuntary benefactor.
Fargo is the town in point. 1t was
i'll Its strenuous efforts to advance it.
self that Fargo helped Grand Forks.
Grand Forks very Justly considered
itself one of the important points of
this whole section. If Fargo pro-
crossed faster than it. then it would
suffer in comparative importance. This
called for action.
at that time Grand Forks bank
clearings were half those Of Fargo.
This disturbed the former to the same
degree 1t elated the latter. Then some
Grand Forks gentlemen started a trust
company. This, With engagements in
other lines of banking. turned the
scales to Grand Forks. Its bank clear
ings now exceed those of its down river
rival.
The North Dakota state fair is held
alternately at Fargo and Grand Forks.
Grand Forks had good grounds but
poor facilities for taking the people
TO them. The same was true OF the
state university and of Wesley college.
Also the town was big enough to feel
the need of TRANSPORTATION facilities
between the business center and the
resident sections.
Local Capital for Utilities.
AN adequate street railway system
was what was needed. Outside capt.
talists hesitated about the undertake
ins, but local men took the lead both
as regarded money II action and now
Grand Forks has a good street car
system.

Improvement WORK on tile part of
the city government has gone forward
IN the same effective fashion. AT first
there were delays due to the wrong
kind of men being in office and to the
presence Of knockers. but with a little
timely aid from the state legislature
these o%bstructing elements we're over
come.
"A city hall costing 500. 600 wa
built, the streets were paved. Il system
of sewers with trunk lines to accom-
modate a city Of 100000 population
was constructed and many another
thing was done.
The sum of 100000 was raised by
popular subscription to build for the
y. NJ. c. A..
The Right Thing Well Done.
The presence of the college had led
To the establishment Of a musical fes-
apparent that II hall or an auditorium
With Il much greater seating capacity
than afforded .by n of those then in
the town was needed. The citizens
built an $4,000 auditorium.
There is quite al interesting incl
dent told about its building. The next
festival was to he held in May. In
March the citizens determined to have
the new building ready for it's use.
Nothing of actual work had vet been
done but the work was started and
carried OH with such vigor hat the
point was won.
|. The auditorium has proved of vast
benefit to the town. 1t has been the
means of bringing such stars as Cad
Ski. Melba. Maud Powell.
AN ornamental system Of lighting
the streets in the business section was
evolved. 1t is doubtful il many, towns
of its size lead Grand Forks in this
respect.
Carrying the Good Work On.
In anticipation Of q greater activity
in the future the Commercial club Is
carrying ON Il campaign to increase its
membership. 1t now has a member
ship in excess of $50. but it aims at
500, the idea being that the larger
the membership the more general will
be the diffusion of civic and
cial club spirit. Then. too. the larger
the membership the more funds will
the organization have in it's work.
And 1t is certain if h club is to ac-
complish the things the board of di-
%rectors and Secretary Graves have laid
out for 1t money. a substantial amount,
will be needed.
The club has canvassed the situa-
ton thoroughly and noted every op-
portunity for action. Efforts will be
made to get more industries for Grand
Forks. the work Of promoting the set
thing of land adjacent to the town
will be continued. the towns fair pro-
jects will be given special attention
to nsu Of their serving their pur-
poses. and a general publicity cam
paign will be carried on.
Grand Forks now maintains a press
bureau which gains much publicity for
the town and its territory. The clubs
proposed activities are all along the
line Of general community develop
1aent as advocated and urged by the
American Lumberman."
