MERIDIAN ROAD TRIP
some Time IN
AUGUST
Committee is Appointed to
Take up Pernbina
County Situation.

The state tour Of the Meridian road
Will be held about the middle of Au-
gust at the anne time as the inter-
national tour over the highway. Such
was the decision of the executive
committee Of the North Dakota di-
vision of the Meridian road which
met in the Commercial club rooms in
Grand Forks last night.
A. l. Hunter of Grand Forks, James
McCabe of Glasston. and Frank
Sprague of Grafton, were named as a
committee to confer with the Ca
madam authorities in regard to the
Pembina county situation concerning
the termination of the international
highway at the boundary line.
The Pemhina county situation pre-
scnts a peculiar and troublesome
problem. DR.. Waldren of Drayton.
was in the city last evening to pre-
vision. The Drayton-Pembina parti-
sans ask that they be given a di-
vision of the Meridian road with Man
vel as the division point. DIR. Waldren
stated last evening that they had
started to build tho road through
from Marvel according to the speci-
fications SEN out and pointed out
further that the Mapvel-Drayton-
Pembina route is the old Red river
valley trail and twenty-five miles
shorter than the other route by way
OF Grafton, Hamilton and Neche.
The western division of Pembina
county declare that the route has al
ready been settled their way and that
there can be only one Meridian road.
The Canadian road is now laid u by
way of Emerson and this fact presents
further difficulties hat the commit
tee appointed will be called on to
solve.
Reports were received from the va
rious counties IS to the progress
made. Richland county reported the
signs up and dragging for a consider
able distance over that portion Of the
road. Cass county reported similar
progress. The Trail county enthusi-
asts have just secured their appropri-
alton from the county board and will
begin work at once. In Grand Forks
county the road has been dragged and
the signs will be put in place today.
Walsh county reported excellent pro-
gross, while in Pembina county the
rival factions have been putting in
some telling work. The Neche enthu-
siasts have graded the proposed route
to that city. while the Drayton-Pem-
bina people are building a road ac
cording to specifications from Marvel
north through Drayton to Pembina.
Among n out-of-toWn visitors in
for the meeting were L. Y. Sarles OF
Hlllsboro, James McCabe of Glasston,
Hong of Hillsboro, and DR.. Waldren
of Drayton. The resignation of W
w. Reyleck of Grafton. as vice presi-
dent for Walsh county. was received
and D. c. Moore was appointed to fill

for caring for 240 patients and when
il is completed there will be room for
400 unfortunate neighbors.

want to see the laws lived up to have

Jail for Them.
There is only one thing to do with
such fellows. who are a disgrace to
the club and the city, and that is to
throw them in Jail. Members of the
club are doing there best to bring the
reckless riders to the proper way of
looking at this matter, but if they will
not pay any attention to anyone. the
Jail is the place for them and we hope
they will land there. l think it is
manifestly unfair for members of the
club to act in this manner. 1t casts a
reflection on the club and VIC who
want to have things run smoothly are

Accused Man.

Fred Wells, formerly of this city,
now of Minneapolis, has been arrest
cd at Missoula, Mont. on Il charge OF
using the United States mails to de-
fraud. 1t has been impossible SO far
to ascertain just what the specific
charge against him is. He was in
Montana at the time Of his arrest
looking over lands for an eastern
syndicate.
An interesting feature in connection
with his arrest is the possible effec,
it may nave on the office of u former
North Dakota attorney. S. j. Cowley.
formerly of Larimore, now of Great
Falls, Mont, has been tentatively en-
ployed by Wells to defend him. But
as Cowley is deputy district attorney
in the Great Falls district. it will be
necessary for him to resign his office
in order to defend Wells.
Cowley announces that he will re-
sign if Wells is held to the crane iur,,
by the commissioner.

Of PUBLIC
IS PLACED IN
JEOPARDY
By Reckless Motorcycle Rid
ers, Sons of Prominent
Grand Forks Citizens.

Apparently not satisfied to conserve
their energies and the speed of their
machines until the race meet at the
county fair, members of the Grand
Forks Motorcycle club are throwing
aside all regard for the speed laws of
the city and are violating the or
dinances every night.
Chief of Police Lowe has talked to
the boys like a father and a gentle-
man nd has asked the riders to keep
within the limits of the law for the
safety Of the public, if for no other
reason. Each time he has talked with
the speed maniacs he has received as
%surances that the fast riding in the
city would be stopped. The chiefs re-
quests and the law have been given
little regard, however. and the boys
who have promised to be good have
invariably ridden faster than ever the
next evening or. in some cases. inn
mediately after they had given their
word of honor that they would keep
within the confines of the city laws,
they ave turned their motorcycles
loose in an apparent effort to break
all the records in the world and make
life miserable for citizens unfortunate
enough to have to use the streets.

The attention of President Secord
of h motorcycle club was called to
this reckless driving this morning and
it was mentioned to him hat one of
the chief aims of the club, when the
organization was formed, was to stop
speeding in the city. He said:

the motorcycle club arc violating the
speed laws of the city every day of

MINNESOTA ELECTR|Cs

H. NJ. Byllesby and comany, owners
and managers of the Red River Power
company of this city recently pur-
chased the power rights in Mime
apolis and st. Paul, thereby closing
one of the largest deals ever consum-
mated in the northwest, Regarding
the completion OF the purchase the
Minneapolis Journal has the follow
ing to say:
A. s. Huey. vice president of H. NJ.
Byllesby & Co., the Chicago firm
which recently acquired control of the
Minneapolis General Electric com
pany, is in Minneapolis today, arrang-
ing for II physical connecting of the
properties of the Minneapolis COM
pany and the Consumers Power COM
pany. of St. Paul. which means. he
said, the eventual connections of all
the Byllesby properties in Minnesota.
Mr.. Huey indicated that in Il plan for
upbuilding, and the joint operation
with Minneapolis as headquarters, OF
an these Minnesota properties, lower
Minneapolis rates may be expected
when the economies of new manage
ment shall have made possible the
production of electric current at d
smaller cost.
The name Minneapolis General
Electric company will eventually dis.
appear, Mr.. Hucy said. The Consum-
ers' Power company Of st. Paul has
already absorbed the Minneapolis
General Electric company in financial
Encouragement. Mr.. Huey spent some
time in conference with A. w. Leon
ard, manager OF the Minneapolis COM
pany. and Eugene Holcomb, vice
president of the Consumers Power
company.
Plan Is Announced.
THE work of connecting the power
plants Of the Minneapolis General
Electric company and Consumers
Power company of st. Paul for joint
operation is getting under way. and
eventually all the Minnesota proper
ties will be Sc connected and Mime
apolis will be headquarters" Mr..
Huey said. The Consumers Power
company of st. Paul already practical
ly controls the Minneapolis General
Electric company.
Within the next few years we cx-
pect to spend much money for i'm
provement and development work in
Minneapolis and in Minnesota" Mr..
Huey said. These plans are still in
the formative stage. The Byllesby
operating plan always has been to
make current at the lowest possible
cost of production and to then give
the public the benefit of such saving.
This will be the policy pursued in the
operation of the Minnesota plants
through Minneapolis"
