r. "Hank.'')

(By Hank.
Two thousand citizens of Grand
Forks and surrounding own motor
ed. walked, buggied and streetcared
out to Dacotah park yesterday after
noon to assist in giving the sport d
warming and welcome the ball play
ers home from a most unlucky trip.
They had heard about the new ball
grounds in the newspapers. They
had figured out that it would he some
kind of a place to play tho great
American game all right, but only a
few of that big crowd of fans had
aver dreamed hat they were going
playground as that which erected
them at the corner Of Westacott
street and Dakota avenue Yesterday
afternoon. The eXclamations of sur
prise. pleasure and enthusiasm heard
on all sides told the story of Grand
Forkers made happy.
And Grand Forkers had a right to
feel good yesterday. In that ball
park the energetic spirit that is max
ing this town hum and talked about
from coast TO coast stood u plainly
in every board in the fence and every
nail in the grand tand.
Only a few short weeks ago certain
big newspapers carried the story that
Grand Forks would not be in the c.
l. league; that enough money could
not be raised here for "A club and that
it was decided to pay - more at
tention to the mo that t',:~ city
would he represented in the new cir
cult and that h organization would
be completed without Grand Forks.
Thirty hours after these stories
signed for the club: an association
had been formed. little Francois Lohr
had been hired as manager and
twelve ball players-the best obtain
able at hat late date had been sign
ed up and were on their way to this
city.
Now. folks. that's going some: it
certainly is. But that is just exact
ly what Grand Forks did. You will
have to hand it to this little city.
Find another town as good on the
house.
AS soon as the club was set in mo-
ton the ball park question came UP.
1t took only a short time to pick a
site and get men to york. 4 lot of
wise ones said that the park would
never be completed for tho opening
game at home and that it would be a
joke when it was finished.
It's true hat the carpenters had to
hurry out OIL tne TO let the
big crowd in yesterday and that the
was a little rough. but just
anne the park was ready for the
game and it is the best park on
circuit and stands as a monument

Grand Forks ahead-not by leaps and
mind YOU. but by a steady
a development sound from
he bottom up.

OKLAHOMANS GIVE

Presidents Supporters In Fourth Dis
trict Convention at Coalgate Over
whelm CoIonePs Friends, 118 to 80.

Coalgate, Okla, Jan. 24.-The repub-
lican convention of the fourth con-
gressional district of Oklahoma went
on record last night by vote OF ll8 to
80 as favoring the denomination or
President Taft.
President Taft was endorsed after
Roosevelt supporters have made de-
termined effort to stampede the con-
vention.
Edward Perry, district chairman,
led the spectacular but ineffectual
fight for Roosevelt.
Previous to the assembling OF the
delegates huge balloon was released
near the convention hall. Painted on
it was the one word, Roosevelt"
The balloonist before his leap un-
furled a flag bearing the lettering
"He will land" AS Perry began
speaking, after the convention was
tenn porarily organized, small boy
dressed in trough rider" costume rode
a horse up the center aisle OF the
convention hall. He was lifted to the
stage while Perry suspended his ad-
dress for a moment. The lad, waving
his dimunitive sombrero, shouted: Il
want Teddy" Cheers followed.
The defeat of Perry forces, however,
became evident early.

VEY AND WATTERsoN.

Lincoln, Neb., JAM 24.-William j.
Bryan. takes the side of Governor Will
son in his break with Col. Harvey and
Henry Watterson and justifies the ac-
tion Of the New Jersey governor in re-
questing that his name be withdrawn
from the columns OF Harper's Weekly.
In letter sent from the east, made
public here last night, Mr.. Bryan says:
"The recent break between Governor
Wilson and Col Harvey illustrates the
'impossibility of cooperation between
men who look at public questions
from different points of view.
1t is absurd for Col Harvey's
friends to talk about his bringing
Governor Wilson out No man nor
paper could have made Governor Will
son available as candidate if he him.
self had not attracted attention.
But let us assume that Col. Harvey
was doing all that he could for his
choice, what was the situation? His
conspicuous support was not only of
no advantage, but it became actually a
disadvantages; it did not bring to Gov
ernor Wilson the class for which Col.
Harvey speaks, but alienated men just
as honest as Col. Harvey's friends who
could not understand why Col. Har-
vey praised Governor Wilson person
ally without endorsing the things for
which Governor Wilson stands.
Suspicion is Natural.
at naturally aroused suspicion as to
the sincerity Of one or the other, and
when Governor Wilson was asked the
question he admitted that he regarded
the support OF Col. Harvey as liabil-
ity, rather than as an asset.
"Should he have pretended that he
thought COL, Harvey was helping when
he was not? And why should Col.
Harvey complain? If he really favors
Governor Wilson he must desire to aid
him; why should he be offended then
at Governor Wilson's frankness? Is
he r-ore interested in being known as
the man who made Governor Wilson
famous than in advancing Governor
Wilson's cause?
Col. Harvey has shown no signs Of
conversion. If he communes with
Ananiases it Is not with any conscious
ness Of blindness. He has seen no
new light; and when he does he will
feel so ashamed Of his lifelong fight
against progressive democracy that his
first desire will be to bring forth fruits
meet for repentance-not to assume
leadership
Must Pain Wilson. sl
1T must pain Governor Wilson to
break with his old friends, but the
breaks must necessarily come unless
he turns back or they go forward. "A
man Is known by the company he
keeps'-and he cannot keep company
with those going in opposite directions
Governor Wilson must prepare him
self for other desertions-they will
distress him, but there is abundan
consolation OF duty well done."

LUMBER DEALERS
DEFEND COURSE
FURTHER viD GNcE sUaW TIED
At KANSAS CITY TO RESIST
CUSTER SUIT.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 24.-Further
testimony designed to refute the state
allegations that the yellow pine manu-
facturers association fosters system
for sitting competition and fixing the
current prices on lumber was INTRODUCE
ed by the defense today at the resump-
ton Of the hearing Of the custer suit
against twenty six lumber companies
transacting business in Missouri.
Attorney General Elliot Major of JEFF
ferson City was expected to arrive IN
this city late today and assist John A.
Atkinson, assistant attorney general, In
the prosecution.
w. c. Bullard, retail lumber dealer
of Omaha, testified that in 1908 when
the suit was brought, he controlled six
retail yards in Nebraska and that there
was unrestricted competition among
dealers in yellow pine at that time. lie
said he got daily quotations from trav-
cling representatives OF Lumber com :
panies and that prices were absolutely
controlled by supply and demand.
There were fluctuations from day to
day, he said, and there was no discrim-
ination in favor Of members of the
yellow pine manufacturers association.
He said the issuance Of a price list by
the association had no effect on the
market price Of pine, but that the price
list was a convenience and benefit to
the wholesaler, retailer, builder and all
others interested in lumber.
Mr.. Bullard said the association
never tried to coerce wholesalers or
retailers and never made any effort to
drive anybody out Of business.
w. C. Scarritt counsel for the lum-
bernen, protested vigorously when AS
sistant Attorney General Atkinson
cross examining the witness tried to
bring out that gradual increase in
prices was shown by the price lists is
sued from 1904 to 1908. Yrs
"The state by innuendo is trying to
create false impression here" he
said, "the state has introduced in evi-
dence market reports which show that
the market fell five different times DUR
ing the period mentioned"
Mt. Atkinson disclaimed any inten-
ton Of misrepresenting the evidence
already introduced and he was allowed
to pursue his line. of questioning.
