The Theatres
At the Grand.

Manager Webster has secured the
we'll known play, In Arizona, for the
Grand for the last half of this week
beginning tonight.
In Arizona, written as it was, by
an obscure playwright, is neverthe-
less n of the keenest and Cleverest
high class western ~melo-dramas that
have been written in years, breathing
the spirit of the Arizona of twenty
years ago in even the slightest detail,
and peopled with characters that are
clean cut, possible and surprisingly
probable.
The story is SO natural hat it's very
simplicity is it's chief charm. Cattle
thieves have practically brought ruin
to the finances Of an eastern widow,
Matilda Robins" whose entire for
tune has been invested in a cattle
ranch adjacent to the United States
fort over which her brother, Colonel
Randolph is Commandant. A mort
gage note is due and young Dick Mar
lowe, a wealthy young cattle owner
coming to collect his money, meets
the colonel's daughter, and falls des-
i perately in love at first sight, proposes
within five minutes after he facets
her, and is accepted forthwith de-
spite the fact that she is engaged to
be married to Captain Benson" an

INTERESTED IN BURKE.

If the North Dakotans only knew

State Chairman Macarthur to a Forum
representative in the Gardner. hotel

Mr.. Macarthur is just home from

little, personal business matter but
while he was away he did not lose an
opportunity to do a little plugging for
Governor Burke. He said as soon as
1t was understood he was in, Minneap-
oils, a representative of one of the pa
pers called on him.
THE Minneapolis press seems great

iCal future continued the chairman
ut is generally felt that the North Da-
kota governor will be sure to land a
cabinet job in the neXt administration
and will be Secretary Fishers success
sOr, One prominent Minnesota demo
Crat said that President-elect Wilson
will make no mistake in selecting a
man from the northwest II he chooses
Governor Burke, as President Taft die
when he choose Mr.. Ballinger. That
was hardly Mr.. Taft's fault, as OF
course he didn't know how Ballingel
was going to turn out, and it was his
desire to secure the services of a mar
from the northwest.
It's a northwestern man that is
coded for the secretaFyship of the in
terror, and Mr.. Taft was correct in that
theory, just IS Governor. Wilson is ir
picking out a man from this section
1t is generally conceded throughout the
northwest that Governor Burke is the
proper man for this place. There are
several other aspirants for the place

Stationary engineers of Fargo will
hold a meeting in this city Sunday
for the purpose of discussing legis-

ing session Of the legislature.
The stationary engineers want a
boiler inspection law passed and also
a law compelling stationary en-
gineers to pass an examination and
take out a license. At the present
time no such law is on the statute
books of the state and this probably

Almost every state in the union has
at least a boiler inspection law. It
would seem that such a law is a
necessity for the protection of all
who have to do with steam boilers
and the stationary engineers expect
ito do some very active work to get
the law. passed.

bodies and other novel features are large

Henry Ford has been daily visitor to

automobile. a 1870 Minerva chassis. which

Holbrook. The car selected by Mr.. Ford
embodies three Of the new mechanical
features which are attracting much atten-

An interesting Ii. on the relative
merits of European and American built
cars was furnished recently by william
Kelly, vice-president OF the Metzger com
pany. who has just returned from two
months trip through the principal motor
car factories abroad.
ANY one who really believes that for
eisn built automobiles are superior to
he. should take the trouble to go through
the best of the French and English fac
tories and compare their methods, equip
ment and product with what we have at
home | do not think that any one could
do this and not be surprised at the differ
ence and congratr ties himself on the
progress motor car building has made
here, or fail to understand some of the
important reasons why American prod
ucts have so strongly come to the fore In
recent years.
I'm the first place" continued Mr
Kelly. foreign cars are built rather than
manufactured. Every car built by A
European manufacturer goes through his
factory In the same way that we would
build a new experimental car in one Of
our Detroit tool rooms. The various fac
tories turn out so many different models
in a year that almost every car is more or
less of an experiment, and, OF course, the
manufacturing expense is enormous. Only
the low price of labor permits such meth
DDS. BY the apprentice system in vogue
the first year apprentices in a majority Of
plants receive nothing for their labor; the
second year they get two cents an hour
and the third year four cents an hour.
These men. OF course. do a great deal Of
work in the way of finishing up castings,
forgings and the like all by hand fling.
rather than by power grinders. as is our
custom here.
