tennessee Press Association Ban
quet at Bethel House Thursday
Night, All Arrangements Made for
Entertainment.

Only two matters were considered
at the meeting of the Board of Trade
Tuesday night at the court house, the
Tennessee Press Association meeting
which begins here Thursday morn
ing, and the ticket arrangement and
location of the Chautauqua tent.
There is list of 1926 subscribers to
chautauqua tickets, with total Of
approximately 700 tickets subscribed
,or. These tickets will be placed un-
der the direction and control of a
ticket committee composed of e. p.
Turner, w. P. Boyd and William Ev-
ans.
The tickets will be at Woodbridge
Drug Co. and the card pledges for the
subscriptions will also be left there,
and all who have subscribed may call
there and get their tickets and at the
same time take up their cards of OBJ
legation.
No feature ,of this transaction
should be overlooked. The subscrib
ing to the cards was the tangible fl.
nancial resources on which the con
tract with the Redpath Chautauqua
Bureau was made, and are in the
same nature as note. When the
tickets are called for these cards
should be taken up with the same
that a note is discharged. Should
this be overlooked there might some
complications arise when these cards
were presented for settlement, as
all who haze subscribed will be ex
pected to settle for the number 01
tickets named.
The programs, for the weeks en-
tertainment have arrived and distrI
button will Eegin at once. The list
of good things thereon varies some
from that of last year, but there is 9
noticeably strong musical feature

a most attractive feature. Opie

the program, and a number of nota
bly, strong speakers will be heard.
Regarding the Tennessee Press AS

CHATTANOOGA, May 14.--The
approaching Reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans of Chatta-
nooga, May 27th-29th, 1913, is the
semi-centennial of the Famous bat
ties of Chickamauga, Missionary
Ridge, and the Battle Above the
Clouds on tie heights of Lookout
Mountain. TO people of the South
land the topic of greatest interest at
|this season Of every year is the Re-
union of these old veterans in gray.
But this year the event is of wider
interest because the Reunion is held
for the first time since 1890, on the
ground hallowed by the valorous
deeds of both North and South
Hence there will be an attendance of
survivors and descendants from all
over the country.
Chattanooga is making elaborate
plans for the entertainment of the
Veterans and other visitors. There
(, will be approximately 10000 veter-
ans who will be lodged and fed, free
of all charge, during their stay of
four or more days. For this pur-
pose the WaI Dept. has loaned l.
400 large tents and the necessary
cots, on which the freight alone, will
amount to over 100000, the Com
missionary will be a large tent, oc-
cupying over an acr, and half of
ground. In this will lie served dur
ing four days total Of 144,OOO free
meals.
There has been raised $53,O00.OO
for entertaining the Veterans proper
ly, not including $26,OOO.0OO extra
raised by merchants on main bush
ness streets for one and half miles
OF "Great White Way" that will re-
main permanently. Miles OF decor
ating material will ornament fact
ories, stores and residences by day,
and eleven thousand lineal feet of
electrical festoons will add to prr-
vate illuminations at night.
Aviation meets, carnivals, etc, win
provide amuseme for visitors,
who are expected to number 10000.
A railroad rate of one cent per mile
will enable people to visit the cele-
brated hydro electric projects, which
aggregate 10000 horse power, the
wonderful mountain resorts over
looking the Leautiful Tennessee riv-
err and the battlefields where the
casualties Of $4,000 broke the rec
ords of any ~var, ancie mt or modern.
This sem;-continental reunion will
provide many spectacular features of
interest to tourists, the most touching
of all being the parade of the surviv-
ors of Lee, and other illustrious
Southern leaders.
The Chattanooga reunion will
be the crowning event in the
lives of the survivors, who are now
passing away so rapidly. For many

TO CONSTRUCT A
new LIGHT PLANT
Commissioners Will Open
Bids for Structure at
April l Meeting.

When the board Of water and light
commissioners meet April i, bids will
be opened for the construction on the
new electric light plant, which will
be erected on South Second street. At
a recent meeting, the board decided to
construct the building and City Clerk
German was instructed to advertise
for bids.
This is the second time that the
construction Of q new light plant has
come before the commission. The
proposition first was brought UP over
a year ago. but, apparently after. 1t
had been decided to add such q struc-
ture to the city property, the question
was voted down.
The need has become so impera-
tive. however. that recently the board
decided to 90 ahead with the work.
The building will be located in the
first block on South Second street. It
will be a brick structure, Is feet by 40
feet. and with a full basement. The
structure will include an office for the
superintendent. a general machinery
and fixture department and q store
room. Furance and store rooms will
also be located in the basement.
When the new building was first
pany, which furnishes the current for
this city, planned the installation OF
generating machinery, SO as to do
away with the large cables stretched
across the river. This plan has been
abandoned, however. and the local
plant will remain a sub-station. A
new switch board, which will permit
caring for both alternating and direct
currents. will be installed.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1913-03-20
sion that will be appointed will be
very extensive.

Wants Centrally Located Secretary.
Another feature considered today Is
that of promoting membership. Sec
rotary H. N. johnson favors the cleo
ton of a secretary from one Of the
larger commercial clubs Of the state
who will be able to give his time over
to the organization of new commercial
institutions at the present time, and
to the bringing of additional clubs
within the f~ederation's ranks.
Urge Approval Of Roads Movement.
A committee Of the North Dakota
Good Roads association. consisting of
A. !. Hunter of Grand Forks. Charles
Grow Of Minot and ]. r.. Hardy Of
Fargo. appeared before the fedora
ton committee on resolutions today
and urged that the work Of the or
ganization be approved. The plans of
the roads association contemplate the
building up Of a state system Of good
roads through the tax on automobiles.
johnson Shows Work.
Secretary H. N. johnson made his
report this afternoon, showing that
twenty new clubs had become affiliat-
ed with the federation. He also en-
dorsed many of the sentiments con-
tanned in President Lander's address
with respect to need Of greater power
for officials.
Mr.. johnson also showed that a
great deal Of work had been done in
the promotion of new clubs. and that
the federation had been very helpful
in several instances in launching new
local clubs.
The Committees.
The committee on resolutions in
cludes w. E.: Holbein of Lansford.
|C. A. Grow of Minot and w. p.
Davies Of Grand Forks.
The committee on the revision of
the bylaws includes j. Dexter Pierce

and c. r. Very of Park River.
The committee On nominations in
cludes G. Langeland of Lankin, J. p.
Harper Of Enderlin and A. o. Void

Promote Farmers Clubs.
Another important recommendation
by President Lander was that Of CIV
ing aid to the movement for the or
ganization Of farmers clubs. He de-
clared that the federation was in po-
sition to do much good work on that
score.
