from this that I consider Alexan-

ahead of Virginia. No sir, not
that at all. But l am fully i'm
pressed with the idea that this
store is completely up to the
city's requirements and would be
even if Virginia were as large
again as she is.
There are many things about
the store which appeals to one
both from the practical and artis-
tic standpoint. Take the color
scheme, for instance, white and
mahogany. 1t would be difficult

WEINLAND
WRITES HOME

Riverside, Cal, Press, March 20:
Henry A. Weinland, formerly Ban
ming boy, writes home as follows rela-
tive to his work in the Hawaiian Is
lands under the auspices of the state
horticultural commission
THE Mediterranean fruit fly (ceva-
tatis capitato) and the melon fly Ida
Gus surcubitae) are closely related
and resemble each other very closely.
The former destroys all soft-meated
fruits, which includes practically all
excepting the pineapple and the ba-
mana. The latter destroys vegetables,
such as beans, tomatoes, cucumbers
and melons. The adult fly punctures
the fruit or vegetable and lays a few
eggs therein, which hatch into mag
gots, causing fruit or vegetable to de-
cay before maturing. AS soon as the
maggot has reached its growth it
leaves the fruit or vegetable, crawls
into the ground and soon turns into
yellowish brown pupa, the pupa in
turn becoming a fly, which lays more
eggs, and thus the work OF destruc-
ton goes on. The time from the egg
to the adult fly is from thirty to forty
days.
"The melon pest has been on the
islands for many years, but the Med
lterranean fruit fly, while known to
southern Europe for a long time, has
been known to fruit growers on the
islands only since 1910. Since then
the orange industry of the Islands
has been practically ruined, and it lie
safe to say that, II allowed to gain

THAT GAS FRANCHISE
Special Meeting OF the comrnsrcial
Club Called for Tomorrow
Night.

A hurriedly called meeting Of the
directors of the commercial club was
held in the parlor of the First Ma
tional bank at noon today, with Presi-
dent Huntoon in the chair. Meeting
with the directors were Samuel Kahn
of the Chicago Office of the Byllesby
people, Manager Hubbard of the
Fargo Office and Attorney Pfau
the company's attorney. The
conference principally related to the
a franchise which is being asked by
the company mentioned in connection
with others asked for in relation to the
operation of the street railway and
the proposed construction of an inter-
urban line to Dilworth.
There is a feeling that the gas fran
chise should be eliminated from the
street railway matters, but the COM
panys seem to think that 1t should
not be further hampered with a ron-
tinual asking for franchise privileges.
The best Of feeling exists between the
gentlemen and after a thorough ex-
preston of opinion on the matters the
club directors decided to submit them
to a full meeting of the commercial
club members and a call was issued
for a special meeting to be held at the
club rooms, tomorrow night at 8
o'clock, and Messrs. Kahn, Hubbard
and Pau have been invited to attend
the meeting as representatives of the
Byllesby company.

Counsel for defense in the mayor
atty contest has asked the attorneys
for the plaintiff in the case, ]. ].

particulars should not be produced,
same to be returnable next Monday
morning before Judge G. "A. Pollock in

That is virtually the only develop
ment today in the mayoralty contest.
Neither of the two candidates has
any further statements to make and
with their attorneys both are working
on the details of the case and hiding
their time for action next week.
In general the citizens of Fargo are
vitality interested in the case and are
watching developments closely. In
view OF the action of the city council
at it's adjourned meeting Friday night,
when it was declared Mr.. Sweet had
been elected, it is rumored that furth-
er action may be taken by the city
fathers in the settlement Of the case.
However, this report remains neon
firmed.
