FRANK X. GRAVEL
TALKED TODAY
PROMINENT COMMERCIAL pu.
LUTH TRAVELLING MAN TALKED
TO COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS
TODAY AT COMMERCIAL CLUB
TOLD ABOUT EARLY HISTORY.

The travelling men and members OF
the commercial club listened to a most
interesting talk by Frank X. Gravel OF
Duluth this noon. AT a late hour last
night it was announced that Mr.. Gray
ell would be the speaker in place OF
Prof. II. l.. Bolley Of the A. C. who will
be heard later. m
MI. Gravel is one of the pioneer trav-
cling men of the northwest and was
in a position to tell the commercial
travellers of the conditions of this
country when commerce first started IN
this state. His address this noon was
reminiscent in character as without
preliminaries he took his aud
fence back forty-five years ago when
there were no county lines and even
TO a period further back when there
was no Fargo. .. j
One of the pioneers in that time
who came along the Red river valley of
the north, when there was no Fargo"
he said was an enthusiastic gentle
man who did much to lay the founda-
for this city. He was a man OF
descent and his name vas J. B.
later one Of the founders of the
Wells Fargo Express Co, after whom
this prosperous city takes its title
Mr.. Gravel then told of a number of
the early pioneers, including Bottineau
and several others who helped to settle
country. Among them were a
number of French missionary priests
who suffered many hardships when.
this state and section Of the country
was all frontier.
The address of Mr.. Gravel was one
that greatly interested and delighted
travelling men as we'll as the bust
men of the city who heard him.
he made a number Of witty remarks
which were we'll received, and his clos
ng sentence came tooesoon. He was
given a most cordial reception by all
present.
This noon Mr.. Gravel was rendered
l luncheon at the Waldorf hotel and
lis speech did not begin until 1:45
o'clock, which gave ample time for
hose who had other noon engage
nents to come to the club and hear
lin.

MOORHEAD TEAM LOST
5arnesvills Wins in State League De-
bate With the Moorhsad High
School Orators.

The Moorhead high school debaters
were defeated by the team Of the
GAINESVILLE high school. at the latter
place, last night, in The Journal cup
contest. The overthrow of the local
team means that Moorhead is elm
mated from further participation in
the state league contest. There is
some balm of comfort to the members
Of the defeated and their friends at
home in the fact that the clicking
was not administered at home. There
have been some fears entertained
about the possibility of success com
ing Moorhead's way and a neat diplo-
matte trick was turned when the bat
tie field was allowed to be selected
away from home.
Resolved, That the United States
Should Establish a System of Parcels
Post, was the subject debated. The
judges were C. +. Yaeger of Alexan-
dria and r. b. Mclean and J. w. Ma
son the latter both of Fergus Falls.
In the debating line the Moorhead
school now will try hard to wrest the
championship from the ~trio-leagae
comprising teams selected from the
schools of Moorhead, Fargo and Cas-
eslton. It is also the intention of SUI
perintendent Edwards to plan a num-
Der of debates within the ranks of
the Moorbead school SO. that the train
ing for public speaking will be kept
well alive and the Interest in that work
kept fully animated.

ton Is Homo from Week Filled
With Speaking Engagements.

Sec. Thomas Cooper of the Better
Farming association returned home
this morning from a busy week that
has been filed with speaking engag
ments in many parts Of the state and
in Minnesota.
Mr., Cooper addressed the county
commissioners. at Glendale Jan. 8. On
Jan. 10 he delivered an address dt
Devils Lake. and spoke before the Min
nesota Agricultural association, at st.
Paul Jan. IL.
: Yesterday he appeared before the
Minot Commercial club, where he met
with. great success in the presentation
of his proposition for better farming
interest in North Dakota. The Minot
club was very enthusiastic and de-
cided to appropriate $4,000 for the pur-
pose of better farming and to engage
at least one man to- assist the farmers
in their work, and the probabilities
are that two nay be engaged.
During the Grain Growers conven-
ton next week Secretary Cooper ex.
poets L. B. Arnold Of Duluth, land
commissioner for the Duluth & Iron
Range railroad and Sen. J. T. Elwell
of Minneapolis. father of the good

ARGUMENTS
In Case of Mentally Deficient School
Boy.

Boy
In chambers, this morning, Judge
Nye heard arguments in the case of
c." F.. Ernst, who seeks to restrain
the directors of school district No. 70
from putting into effect an order, made
by them, forbidding the attendance of
his son in the school, on the ground
that the boy is mentally. defective.
Senator Marden appeared for the
school board and Peterson s. Adams
for the complaining father. After
hearing the arguments theNcourt took
the matter under advisement, but gave
time to both sides to file certain affi-
davits. 1t is alleged that the un-
fortunate boy is addicted to attacks
which brighten his fellow pupils, and
the teacher. Tt is said that the boy,
this morning, was attacked near the
office. of his fathers attorneys, after
returning from the courthouse. Ev-
eryone concerned is kindly disposed
towards the boy and there is general
sympathy shown in his misfortune,
but it is claimed that the general in
terests of the children attending the
school in question demanded prompt
action on the part of the school au-
thorities, for it was only a matter Of
time when the parents would withdraw
their children from the school, and
there would be no teacher. The
statement made that there is a plan
ned effort to ostracise the boy is said
to be rank nonsense and silly in the
extreme. The boy is under treatment
and there is hope that in time he will

DAIRY
CONVENTION
PROGRAMME ABOUT COMPLETED
FOR THIS MEETING HELD
NEXT MONTH.

Bismarck, N. d. Jan. 13,-R. r.
Flint, secretary Of the North Dakota
Dairymen's association, was in Man
dan Wednesday in consultation with
the officers of the Mandan Commercial
club and other business men with ref
erence to arrangements for the state
meeting of dairymen to be held in
Mandan on Feb. Is and 16.
Mr.. Flint, with other members Of
the executive committee has in prep
aration a very interesting programme.
with speakers who are experts in
their line. Owing to the fact that a
year Of early frost line the past one
has emphasized the need for provid-
ing feed, a great deal of emphasis is
to be put on the silo. and ensilaga.
This is a problem that has been solved
in Minnesota and wisconsin, and two
prominent speakers will devote con-
siderable time to this subject. "A. j.
Glover, associate editor Of Hoard's
Dairyman of TT. Atkinson, Wis, will
talk on silage, and "A. X. Riser, fed
eral Dairyman, of Colorado Springs.
Colo, will discuss the silo. Dean r.. III.
Shepperd of the agricultural college
will talk on corn.
Other prominent speakers will be
+. d. Currier, secretary OF the Min
nesota Dairymen's association; o. Al.
Storvick OF Albert Lea. Mimi, fed
eral creamery expert; +. D. Merrill OF
Grafton: r. A. Greenwood of Marion,
and Professor Waldron of Dickinson.
Prof. Thomas Shaw and probably
one of the representatives of the
Northern Pacific will also be on the
programme.
On the evening Of Jan. Is after a
musical programme to be arranged by
Mandan people, Bart. the famous
~cartoonist of The Minneapolis Journal
will give a chalk talk. This promises
to be g very enjoyable part OF tile
convention programme. for Bart as i
cartoonist has won fame, not only in
the northwest, but all over the nation.
Another delightful evening lis planned
for the second night, though as the
programme has not been entirely COM
pleted the particular attraction cannot
be announced.
This will prove without question
the largest and most enthusiastic
convention ever held in western North
Dakota. The interest in the dairy has
been increasing every day, and hum
dreds Of farmers in this immediate
vicinity have been buying mich cows
with every dollar that fhey can scrape
together. The independence Of tina
farmer who has stock, the steady in
come, the betterment Of his farm 4
all so noticeable that few farmers in
Morton county or for that matter h
western North Dakota will within 4
couple OF o be dependent On
the grain crop.
Every farmer in western North rs.
kotat and as many in the east Al can
afford it should be in attendance 81
this convention to learn more Of dairy
ing. II will be worth the time ana
money spent. with 100 per cent IN
