HERE TO LOOK OVER
GRAND FORKS
y. NJ. C.. A
Secretary Werner Guest of
Board of Directors of
Institution.

G. F. Werner. general secretary Of
the Y. NJ. c. A. at Michigan City, Ind,
arrived in Grand Forks last night. at
the invitation of the directorate Of
the Grand Forks "Y," to look the field
over here with the view to being Sc
lected secretary of the association in
this city. Other we'll known Y. NJ. c..
A. secretaries have also been asked to
visit Grand Forks and several will
probably come here to meet with the
directors before a choice of a sue
cessor to Kirk E. Wallace is made.
Mr.. Werner has been at Michigan
City three years and is one of the
leading Y NJ. c. A. workers in In
diana. In February a new $4,000
institution was completed and the
membership in that city is rapidly in
creasing. One of the features Of the
new institution was a large swimming
pool. When the directors there de-
cided on the huge tank they were
laughed at, Mr.. Werner says. because
the city is only half a mile from Lake
Michigan. From the time the tank
was put in operation. however, it's
capacity was taxed and the indoor
swimming pool has proved popular
with the men and young men of the
city.
Mr.. Werner came to Grand Forks
from the encampment and summer
school at Lake Geneva. where he had
the pleasure of meeting L. E. Good
win of the Grand Forks "Y," and
Prof. c. c .McCown. formerly of this
city. He says that the summer
school this year is a great success,
one of the best improvements over
previous encampments being that all
persons attending could sit down to
a meal at the same time. In other
years some of the big company had
to wait for the second table. This
year 600 persons can dine at the
same time.
Grand Forks appeals to Mr.. Wer-
ner, he says. He will be here two or
has a populatio nof 10000. but in a
number of ways is not as attractive
as Grand Forks, he thinks.

pErrIGREw JOINS ROOSEVELT

New York. July 11.-Announve-
ment will be made in a day or so OF
the conversion of former United
States senator Richard r. Pettigrew
of South Dakota to the cause of the
Roosevelt party. Pettigrew was one
of the chief supporters Of Champ
Clark prior to the Baltimore onven
ton. and his flop to. Roosevelt is one
of the most interesting developments
of the campaign.
Pettigrew is a close personal and
business friend Of former Senator
Charles A. Towne of Minnesota now a
resident of New York. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Towne also is consid-
ering a switch to Colonel Roosevelt.
Other democrats who have operated
with the group Of which Pettigrew
and Towne are identified also may
flop.
In fact, a big row is on, involving
these men. Their resentment is di-
rected chiefly against William ]. Bry-
an. They are preparing to leave the
party because of Bryan's attitude at
Baltimore. Pettigrew and Towne
were ardent supporters Of Clark.
They charge that Bryan betrayed
Clark at the convention, and Petit
grew intends to jump clear Of the
party to get yer
Pettigrew formerly was a repub-
lican. He represented South Dakota
in the senate as a member Of that
party.
A curious. thing about Pettigrew
and Towne IL that they are opposed
to Wilson because he 10 regarded %
too radical for them.

REAL WILD WEST IS
THE |0l RANCH

Leading Roles in Big

Calgary and other cities of the west
have recently stamped the show with
their approval. Recently the 1O1
ranch was the big special amusement
feature of the Rose festival at Port

With the show. The fact that the
show is touring the west. where is it
compelled to stand the acid test of
scrutiny and criticism by men who are
familiar with the life which the or

the best proofs of is senuineness.

cowboys actively engaged in ranch
work and taking a day off" to see
and judge for themselves OF the mer-
it's of the performance. 1t is no un-
usual thing for them to discover for
mer cowboy associates in the show.
And the hundreds of Indians who visit
the show, in cities bordering on the
reservations, evidence their interest
and their commentator of the truth
of the Indian displays in an unmistak-
able way. The Indians are especially
interested in the hostiles' attack on
the overland stage coach and the pio-
neers' camp and the characteristic
dances given by the big congress of
Sioux. Cheyenne. Commanche. Ponca,
Navajo, eros Nentres n other In
dians with the show.
There will be two complete per-
formances here-at 2:15 and SIS.
The afternoon exhibition will be pre-
coded by a picturesque parade. in
which all the professional resources
of the show will be displayed on the
streets. 1t will leave the show grounds
at 1880 and pass Over the principal

tention of quitting the office, according
to his friends. Mr.. Valentine may be
