true in every respect in this case.
Hon. p. d. Pike, one of Stoves worthy
citizens and strong business man was,
present and fully enjoyed the event.
DR.. Barrows as presiding officer has
few equals. His introduction of the vari.
Gus speakers elected mirth every time.
Vern Wilkins, in spite of his infirmities,
was present and enjoyed every minute
and many were glad to take him by the

Charlie Campbell, OF the Vesper House,
Old Orchard Beach, was in attendance
and aided greatly in making the affair
success.
Howard Shaw, all smiles, had hearty
greeting for everybody and especially
those who were members of Lamoille
Commandery.
The singing was all right. Stowe, with
it's splendid male musical talent, was re-
inforced on this occasion by number of
the visitors and they all sang with one
accord" and some discord.
What would an event of that kind be
without Fred Boardman? Fred is not
man of words, but has faculty of
" touching the spot in every mans breast
which knows no equal.
Why not have these events oftener
Not only are they productive of better
acquaintance, but plans may be inau-

result benefcially to the county in many
ways.
Charlie Burt got his mind off from
drawing logs and enjoyed every minute.
And the same was true of Charlie Eddy,
who had creameries enough for the time

The transportation in the big teams

North Hyde Park Grange Wins the Cup

The silver cup, awarded by the State
Grange to the Grange in the state hav-
ing the best scoring program for the past
year, has been won by Gihon Valley
Grange of North Hyde Park. The cup is
a beautiful one, on which is inscribed
Compliments of the Vermont Sta te
Grange" This is a compliment very
worthily bestowed and shows that this
Grange is a live, working organization.
r. W. Crocker is the lecturer and that he
puts work into his office is evident by
this. The cup will be presented to the
Grange at its meeting next Saturday
evening and a large attendance is de-
sired.

Burlington & Lamoille Not All to Blame

The 8. & L. Railroad gets good many
hard knocks for lateness of trains these
days. While it is true that sometimes
the fault for this delay is owing to the
condition 0fthe road or the motive power,
in many cases the delay is caused by the
trains on other roads run in connection
Herewith. The fact is that about all the
delays OF this train is because it almost
invariably has to wait at Essex Junction
for the Boston train on the Central If
the delays on the Central could be RENE
died, or the B. & L. not held up almost
every evening at that famous stopping
place, Essex Junction, the delay of trains
on the B. 6, L. road would be much less

DIXON IS
IN FARGO TO-DAY

Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon Of Mon
tana, chairman of the national COM
mittee of the progressive party and
the nan who has been a big element
in the remarkable organization which
has been built up in the past two
months. will be in Fargo today to o n
fer with the leaders of the party there.
He will arrive at $3.50 o'clock this aft
ernoon and remain until the Late train
tonight.
Prominent progressives from every
section of North Dakota will meet him
in Fargo and lay out the campaign to
be conducted in this state. Since
Colonel Roosevelt's visit there have
been steady and large accessions to
the progressive ranks and Mayor
Sweet says he has received numerous
tenders of support from unexpected
quarters.
The early part of this evening will
be devoted to special conferences with
the workers and at 1880 the senator,
together with all progressives who
wish to do so, will meet at dinner at
the Hotel Gardner. The invitation to
ers who are called in to take part in
the conferences, members of the state
central committee, chairman and sec
retaries of the county committees but
also every progressive who is inter-
ested in the state or national cause.
Senator Dixon is a red hot progress
sive and has been in the thick of the
fight for some years. He came into
the pre-convention fight for Roosevelt
early last spring and was unanimous
~ selected as the man to organize the
progressive party after the Chicago
convention. The great gathering of
over 1000 delegates at the progressive
convention was a tribute to his organ
izing ability.

why is it the city officials went
to Minneapolis to secure a police
matron?"
This question has been frequently
asked the Evening Times this week,
and has undoubtedly been put up to
the city officials themselves.
Two of the city dads were asked
the question this morning, and both
agreed that this action was taken to
provide the city with the best matron
possible. In speaking of the matter
this morning. Mayor Murphy said:

In this particular, 1t has more than
kept pace with the growth and de-
velopment of the state. The pros
perity and good feeling of the pres
emit year is making itself manifest in
the large increases in enrolment in

Bismarck and Grand Forks already
have an enrolment considerable in
excess Of the usual figure for this time
OF h year. The teachers summer
schools of the state all showed larger
totals than usual this year. In Sec
tions Of the state where crops have
sons. many old students of the uni
versity have been forced to stay away
for lack of funds. They are coming
back this year and with the large
number of high school graduates OF
the state who will enroll as fresh

campus a busy place during the next
nine months.

Students just entering the univer-

Of the campus and their surroundings

the rare privilege of seeing the uni

like its midsummer glory. The sea-

Have Stood the Storms.
/. The history Of the two banks which
have today been amalagamated, is in
teresting. not only from a local but q
financial history standpoint. They
are the only banks which were in ex-
istence when the Union was establish.
ed more than twenty years ago. that

lions. All the others. the Second Ma
tional the Merchants and the Grand
Forks National are remembered by
the older residents Of the city as hav-
ing been among the city's financial in
stitutions at the time mentioned, but
all have gone and have been replaced
by other and stronger institutions.
The Union and the First National
have stood firm and mistaken dur
ing the changing conditions in the
city and state that have caused such
wreckage Of other banks. 1t is safe
to say that the conservative and safe
policy that has marked the course
Of both institutions during the years
Of panic as we'll as prosperity has
been the factor most responsible for
this success. Neither crop failures
nor bumper crops have changed the
policy Of either and they have been
In all those years a rock Of strength
upon which reliance could be placed
at all times.
It is interesting to note that the
same men who have founded the two
institutions are today still active in
their management and have partici-
pated in the amalgamation Of the
two. The First National bank is the
outgrowth Of the Citizens National
bank which was established in 1879
The banking house was a frame
building where Martins meat market
now stands on South Third street. In
1881 Messrs. Titus and Smith erected
the building that has been occupied
by the Union National bank and NOV
ed into 1t from their former location.
The Citizens National bank became

tional bank OF today in July. 1890.

The Union National.
The Union National was establish

This announcement from the uni

mat n date for the beginning Of the
busy university a Is almost here
and that the population of Grand
Forks Is soon to be increased by some
hundreds OF students from all parts
OF the state, who come in to take
work at he state institution. In an
ticipation of an increased enrolment
this year and to eliminate as far as
possible all delay and the usual pres
sure on the university offices at regis
tration time. it has been decided that
registration may begin four days be-
fore the regular date, which falls this
year on Tuesday, September "a of
his month.
"Comc Early the Request.
1t is a regular custom at the uni
Versfty to educe as far as possible
the routine and red tape incident to
beginning the years work and to get
Gown to business as early as possible.
Glasses usually meet on the day after
enrolment. A certain amount of de-
lay incident to necessary routine Ia
unavoidable. but the Plan adopted this
year will facilitate matters greatly.
Students who live in Grand Forks or
nearby parts of the state will do well
TO take note of this opportunity and
come early and avoid the rush."
Inquiry at the university offices re-
veals the fact that the prospects are
good for a large and satisfactory en-
roliment this year. The university
and the Wesley college dormitories
are all filled now and a great many
applicants for rooms have been turn
ed away because there was no way
to take care of them. Freshmen will

coming in this year will swell that
total considerably. Minot will send

and new: Dickinson is sending twelve
and Park River is sending fourteen.
These are typical instances that point
to the fact that returning prosperity
