The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-07-15

The great meetings of the Norwe-
CLANS in this city, the sangerfest, the
national Sons Of Norway and the
Daughters of the same, ended their
several days meeting In this city yes
terday with grand picnic that was
held in the Nokken woods, about six
miles south of the city on the Moor
head side of the Red river and 1t was
very pleasant affair. considering that
the day was decidedly cool for picnick-
ing, and that every once In awhile
there would be little shower fall. but
all this did not dampen the spirits of
the singers, for there were several
hundreds braved the elements and
made the trip, some going in autos,
others by horse propelled vehicles,
while still others trusted themselves
on the raging waters OF the Red, hav-
ing a very pleasant, though somewhat
cool ride to the grove.
Here the singers sang, there was a
period devoted TO games, and another
to short addresses delivered by doz-
en- or more of the members, and then
they had a great big dinner out under
the trees Of the grove and in the big
Nokken barn and residence.
There were no accidents to mar the
pleasures of the day, with the excep-
tion that some Of the autos had
trouble in getting back home.
The Sons Adjourned.
After fixing the place of meeting,
Chicago, the national Sangerfest soci-
ETY. closed it's two days session in this
city late Saturday afternoon in the
commercial club, after passing reso-
lutions in which they thanked the
people of Fargo In general, the com
mercial club and committee Of ar
rangements In particular and several
individuals for assisting in making the
meetings here grand success. and
the closing of the concert in the even
Ing ended the official business for the
year 1912, and the next meeting will
be held in Chicago In June, 1914. just
prior TO the start Of the chorus on the
trip to Norway as was stated in Sat
urday's Forum.
Closed Their Session.
The head lodge OF the Sons OF Nor
way closed its meeting Saturday aft
ernoon, shortly after electing officers,
list OF whom was given in this paper
on that day. As is the custom no
place was selected for the next meet
ing in 1914 but this will be fixed by the
board which Is composed Of the Of
ficers. 1T Is not likely that II will be
held in Chicago at the same time as
the sangerfest, as the latter will be
held one month earlier than has been
usual 70 nolu the national conVen-
tionS of the s. of N. The resolutions
thanked the people of Fargo. the com
mercial club and all who in any way
assisted in making this the greatest
gathering they had ever had, and at
which great deal of business was
done, which will affect the order in
the years to come.
Proposition Turned Down.
One Of the questions that was dis
cussed was that Of admitting 10 mem

With the exception OF less than

will be published during 1918. in three
new separate books, uniform with
the Trail to Sunset" making In all
four cross country routes that will
carry the bulk of the travel for years
to come.
No less remarkable than the trips
themselves has been the interest
aroused, particularly ora the routes
west Of the Mississippi river. Auto
mobile clubs and good roads associa-
lions. as well as public spirited cities
and towns, have not only encouraged
the work, but in many cases have
competed with each other for the
honor and advantage of being located
on one of these through lines.

Of the world, was cast in the role of

the lower East Side, put In full
union day preparing Oscar for that
pugilistic bourne whence few return,
despite their personal convictions on
the subject.
AT the end of ten rounds Mr. Cross
had dubbed himself into state of
nervous trepidation, to say nothing of
having worn out a pair of IS gloves

Mr.. Corbett was one OF the chief

Motoring Notes,
Good Road News
and Trade Matters

The newest of all the States Is the
first to come to the front in selecting
delegates to represent the Common
wealth at the Federal Aid Good Roads
convention called by the American
Automobile association to be held in
Washington, D. c., March and Z,
1913.
Governor w p. Hunt, of Arizona,
himself an enthusiastic motorist, has
advised President Robert p. Hooper,
OF the A. A. A, that he has named
Attorney General q. +. Bullard. State
Engineer Lamar Cobb and Colonel
Dell NJ Potter as the trio of represen-
tatives from the forty eighth State.
Colonel Potter Is good roads advo-
cato of national repute, and Is vice
president for Arizona in the Ocean-to-
Ocean Highway association. Arizona
naturally feels a great interest in the
construction of transcontinental high
ways. While none of the other gov
ernors has actually named his State
delegation, many of them have adj
vised that they will do so at an early
date. Included among these are the
governors OF Eastern States, which
were not represented in the first fed
eral aid convention Of nearly a year
ago. The good roads enthusiasm,
which has been exceptionally marked
in the West, seems to be renewing it
self eastward
The responses from commercial or
CARNATIONS to the invitation OF the
A. A. A. to send delegates to the fed
eral aid gathering are pronouncediy
favorable from every part of the
United States The Commercial club
of Great Bend. Kan. takes the lead
in actually naming its delegation,
Fred Zutavern and w. +. FEEDER hav-
ing been designated Many of the
largest chambers of commerce and
boards of trade in the country have
promised to be prominent in the con-
vention.
Indications are that every one of
the forty-four r. A. A State associa-
tons and $50 local clubs will have
members at the national capital who
will pay particular attention to their
Spokesman in congress- who in some
instances will even serve as motoring
delegates. With farmers organiza-
tons and miscellaneous good roads
bodies all invited to participate. indi-
cations point to the most representa-
tive and influential attendance ever
known at any good roads meeting
With the assembling Of the present
congress for its final session, begin
ming Monday, December 2d. public
interest in federal aid will doubtless
be revived. There are some thirty
different proposals for federal road
appropriations pending. but 1t Is not
anticipated that the present congress
at the short session will attempt to
take action on any OF these. Fur
thermore. the joint committee APP
pointed at the previous session to
make recommendations as to the form
in which federal aid should be grant
ed can hardly be expected to have

the services of 100 operators to whom
at least $500 per week would be paid

Board Of Trade Will Circulate Petition
And Give People Opportunity TO Say
Whether or Not They Want Ii.

. Shall Pleasantville change its form
Of government from that now in
vogue to the commission system re-
Gently adopted by Atlantic City?
At large meeting of the Board of
rade. held Monday evening, a form
vof petition was presented asking the
Borough Clerk to call special cleo
ton to allow the voters of Pleasant
vile to decide whether or not they are
desirous of adopting the commission
form of government. The matter
was unanimously approved, and a
committee of ten was selected to Sc
cure signatures, as follows: D. W.
Macmillan; VIM. M. Goff, John E.
Reiliey, Wilbur Reed, John S. Weaver,
R. A. Gale, Joseph B. Thomas, B. E.
Whitman, VIM. L. Anderson and I.
H. Obert. The law requires that the
clerk must call the election upon the
epetition in writing of twenty per CEN
tum of the legal voters voting at the
last general election. S32 persons
exercised the right of franchise in
Pleasantville last fall, therefore it
will be necessary to secure the names
of 167 of them to the petition. The
election is held on the third Tuesday
following the fling of the petition
with the clerk. To adopt the plan at
least 30ee of the votes cast for mem
bers of the General Assembly at the
last general election must be cast in
favor of the proposition. There is
very little doubt but that the required
signatures will be secured and the
people of the borough will have the
opportunity of adopting or rejecting
the proposition. Then second cleo
Z ton is held when six candidates for
Commissioner are nominated, and
from these three Commissioners are
chosen at third election. The Com
missioners elect one Of their number
to be Mayor. The Mayors salary is
$3.50 per year and that of the other
/. Commissioners $500 each.

Use OF SPRINKLERS
SHOULD BE CURTAILED

In conversation with Mr.. James 7.
Austin, superintendent Of the Pleas
antville Water Company, The Pleas
antville Press was advised that the
rules of the company permit the use
of water sprinklers from to z in the

In the afternoon, whereas many pat
rens use them continuously. At this
particular time it works an injury to
the company and the people general
", by having them used during the
heat Of the day, especially since one
of the pumps is now out of commits
sion and much work is required to
keep up the pressure. The Water
Company, under its new management,
is striving to give its patrons satis
factory service, and we believe that
cooperation on the part of the pat
rons at this time and in this manner
will assist materially in attaining the
desired results
