When the first whistle blew at the
electric light plant this morning it
had different sound to the citizens
of Devils Lake than it has had for
some time. 1t was the same old
whistle blown in the same manner,
and at the same hour as it has for
years been blown, the only difference
being that this morning it announce
the plant was under new management.
1t was the official welcome to F. e.
Corson and others interested in the
new company, it sounded a parting
knell to A. B. Kerlin. 1t told a story
of better service at lower rate.

Last night, however, Devils Lake
was in a peculiar predicament, there
was no one who claimed to have any
thing to do with the light or tele'
phone system. The big utility plant
was without a head. Any citizen
could have entered the building on
the corner Of Fifth and Harrington
avenue and claimed ownership for the
night and probably would not have
been molested. Many "a time in the
past citizen has said: "I wish I was
running the light plant and I would
show the people something" That
citizen had the opportunity last night
but he did not know it.
The peculiar situation arose ove1
the fact that the minute A. B. Kerlir
signed the paper deciding $175,00C
worth of property, he severed connec
ton with the institution. Of course
it belonged to F. E. Corson from thai
time on, but Mr.. Corson was a. trifle
superstitious md did not care to be
gin active duty in the middle Of the
afternoon, so he announced that the
new company would not take hold I'm
til this morning. The plant was with
out head for fifteen hours, but tn
same men who have been the rea
standard bearers, responsible for MAX
ing juice, continued on the job, ant
! their duty was performed we'll.
| Will Remain Intact.
| "We are not going to make an.
changes in the force at present." sait
Mr.. Corson to World representative
this morning, "although I hope tina
some change in the service will be re
allied within a short time. The pre-
sent employees will be given the frs
chance to make good, and in the even
they fail to deliver the goods, other
will be called upon to fill their places
"The new company will be divide
into three departments, the bushes
department, the soliciting and adve1
Using department and the operating
department. Each and every employ
will have his or her work to do, nj
more and no less, and each and ever,

required after the little session of tn
employees which was held at 1913
O'Clock this morning when the entir
situation was gone over

change can come in this department
of the business in the quickest time
The operators know what is require
of them and I think the citizens O
Devils Lake will soon be satisfied wit
the service. Other improvements Wi
be made within few months althoug
it will be necessary to worry throug
the winter, until the new plant vii
be erected. I am going to Minneapo
lis to secure necessary improvement

Not Going to Stick.
Considerable disappointment wa
evident when it was learned that MI
Corson would not be On the Job a
general owerseer all the time, but thi
is made impossible due to the fac
that he has other and similar interest
elsewhere in the state. There will b
"a good manager in charge however an

his own statement. He will come t

THOUSANDS GREETED HIM UPON
Els ARRIVAL AND HE WAS
ESCORTED IN STYLE.
MANY WHO LEFT AUDITORIUM
DID NOT KNOW JUST WHAT
TO THINK. ABOUT IT.

Grand Forks, Sept. 6-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt's speech in this
city this morning was not in keeping
with the expectations from the en-
thusiasm factory which the ex-presi-
dent was supposed to operate, in fact
the thousands who listened to his ad-
dress in the auditorium expressed con-
siderable disappointment. He brought
out nothing new and startling, his
speech being merely discussion Of
the third party platform which has
been paraded in the newspapers for
weeks.
Grand Forks people had been work
ed up to high pitch of enthusiasm
since the first announcement of Roose.
velt's coming and they may perhaps
have expected too much, but all who
left the auditorium after listening to
the brief address felt as though they
we're let down easy. There was no
demonstration, no "hurrah.
Probably one of the main things
that brought out the big ct" in the
opinion Of many in attendance was
Roosevelt's statement that he could
move the Chicago convention with his
little finger and secure the nomina-
ton if he wanted to, following out
the plan which was mapped out for
him, but he was on the square, and
he wanted the people to be on the
Square and stand by him and the new
third Progressive party.
Prior to Roosevelt's addsess Grand
Forks was aghast with expectations,
then the demonstration was unbound
ed, but there was decided change
when the guest Of North Dakota had
finished talking. The cheers which
were given him while en- route to the
auditorium had died away, his going
and his coming were two different
things.
Theodore Roosevelt, greatest enthu-
siasm factory in the world and the
most discussed man in the country to-
day is visiting Grand Forks and Far
go. He was greeted with genuine
North Dakota hospitality, hundreds
of citizens coming from the four cor
ners Of the northern section of the
state to see and hear the man who
set the wheels of the progressive par
ty spinning round.
Aside from the interest in Roose-
.Ye!t's speech many people speculated
as to what he would recommend on
the question of third state ticket
N North Dakota. Immediately follow
ing the nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt
his supporters in this state announced
that third congressional and state
ticket would be named. His friends
insist that if the third party propo-
nents stay out Of the state fight they
will get from 10000 to $4,000 more
votes than if Moose ticket is NAM
ed,
Thousands Of persons were on hand
to hear the former president in Grand
Forks this morning The heavy rain
of the past few days has retarded the
framing operations in many sections
Of the state and hundreds of farmers
were on hand to ATTEND the big Bull

morning in the auditorium at the cor

George Collins one Of the managers
of the Charles theatre just returned
from st. Paul, where he attended the
Minnesota Motion Picture Exhibitors
league convention, being the only
North Dakota exhibitor present.
To Mr.. Collins who is now mem
Der of the American league of exhib-
itors is left the plan for organizing
in North Dakota and he will accord
ingly write to every motion picture
house in this state for the purpose of
perfecting the organization, which in
the main had to deal with the secur-
ing of better films, better relationship
with the manufacturers, and the mu-
tual benefit to be derived from the
exchange Of ideas. An organization
such as this will also have to do with
theatre inspection and the keeping of
houses sanitary and with fire protec-
ton.
Mr.. Collins hopes to hold the first
convention to perfect the North Da-
kota organization in Devils Lake and
as soon as he hears rom the various
motion picture heads proper arrange
ments for the meeting will be made.
Mr.. Collins addressed the conven-
ton along the line of fairness on the
part Of the manufacturer in treating
all the exhibitors alike. Governor
Eberhart Of Minnesota was also a
speaker at the meeting talking on the
value Of motion pictures from an edu-
cational standpoint, Mayor Kellar Of
st. Paul made the address Of welcome.
While the meeting was generally for
Minnesota still there was those in at
tendance from every. corner Of the
globe and as result Of the gathering
North Dakota and South Dakota rep
resentatives plan to perfect a league
in each Of these states.

Colonel Roosevelt arrived from the
Twin Cities where he spoke at the
state fair yesterday. He came over the
Great Northern on train No. 5, two
special cars being run from the Twin
Cities to Grand Forks to accommodate
the Roosevelt party.
Immediately after the speech in
Grand Forks a special train for the
state third party convention in Fargo
left the Great Northern station. Many
Roosevelt admirers from this city and
surrounding towns were passengers on
this train, accompanying the colonel
to the state gathering.
Elaborate preparations for the COM
ing of Colonel Roosevelt were made
in the gate city. A parade Of auto.

corted from there to the Waldorf ho-
tel where luncheon was served in his
honor. The celebration in the park
started at 1880 O'Clock this afternoon
and at 'clock the colonel addressed
the third party convention. The Roose-
Welt party will leave the gate city at
4:17 O'Clock this afternoon, continu-
ing the Grip to the northwest coast.

At Jamestown, the trip from Fargo be-
ing taken over the Northern Pacific.
Colonel Roosevelt was greeted at
Fisher, Mimi, in the morning by a
committee of representative Grand
Forkers consisting of E. J. Lander,
chairman Of the Roosevelt executive
committee, H. Bendeke and P. O.
Thorson.
Hundreds of men representing all
walks Of life and every political be-
lief were at the Great Northern sta
tion in Grand Forks to meet the col
onel and cheer him a welcome to the
land where wheat is king.
Colonel Roosevelt md the newspa-
per men who accompanied him to the
state were in the best of spirits when
they arrived, coming in the Pullman
cars Sunbeam and Maydower, as fine
cars as ever covered the rails.
Six big touring cars were lined up
on Fifth street at Grand Forks to
carry the visitor and members of the
press and reception committee from
the station to the auditorium. The trim

of Central Park to Third street giving
the colonel and his party glimpse of
the city.
Throughout the business district the
colonel was given rousing greeting.
A number of the leading business
houses allowed their employs an hour
of to attend the speech at the audi.
torium.
Colonel Roosevelt and his party
were conveyed from the railroad sta
ton to the auditorium in Mayor NJ.
