STICKNEY
WAS IN SCRINNAGE

Captain Stickney of the Hill team
was in actual scrimmage last night
for the first time this fall. He has
been u for light work for the past
three weeks but this is the first time
he has actually taken part in the
festivities. His enforced rest does not
seem to have done him any harm and
he will be a powerful preventative to
an "A. c. victory on Saturday. On that
Joyful occasion, he will play either
tackle or guard. @s<., MA
Coach Watkins says, IT look for the
hardest battle Of the season on Satur-
day. l believe the A. C. is playing
possum. They put III a mighty fine
grade Of football in South Dakota at
their last game"
The Fargo college team is in fine
shape for the game, on the whole.
Carpenters running gear is said to be
somewhat battered. although still
servicable. The worst trouble to be
feared with the team is sporadic cases
OF cranial imitation, due to success in
the practice game with Wahpeton
last Saturday. However,, Coach Wat
kins is laying for' such cases with
his W special remedy ana hopes to
eradicate, or at least greatly alleviate,
The trouble before Saturday. Such
AFFECTIONS have caused the loss Of
several games for Fargo college in
the past and coach allows to nip 1t In
the bud" this year .. 3D.
Last night the team went through
snappy signal drill and an entire
change Of signals was inaugurated.
Drummond is trying out for end and
is making good. Boise is working as
quarter and is showing up in better
form than in the last game.

HANNA AT THE
FORDVLLLE FAIR

Fordville. N. D., Oct. %. - With
Gov. L. B. Hanna as the principal
speaker, the Fordville market day and
tri-county industrial fair programme
yesterday afternoon brought out an
unusually large number Of farmers
and other out-of-toWn visitors. Gov
II Hanna, together with DR.. e. P.
Robertson and N. B.. Black of Grand
Farks, and w. H. Kil1en, land com
missioner Of the 500 railroad company,
are here.
The building used for the industrial
exhibits was crowded with displays
long before the opening hour. The
vegetable and corn exhibits are par
ticularly interesting. Owing to the
lack of space, the market day officials
had to forego the opportunity for hav-
ing a large women's department .ex.
hibit.
The cold weather, while making II
slightly uncomfortable for farm visi.
tors, has not hurt the exposition ir
any way. Despite the cold, man,
farmers in the vicinity of Fo:dvjlle
were in early with their exhibits OF

FLOOD TIDE OF
FOREIGN TRADE

Detroit, Mich, Oct, 22.-With the
declaration that "the tide of Ameri-
can business in the foreign field is at
it's flood" and that means must be
employed to maintain it, Secretary
Redfield addressing the board of
commerce here last night, made a di-
rect appeal to business men to ask
congress to appropriate more funds
for the prosecution of the work of his
department.
The secretary explained his propos-
ed reform of commercial representa-
ton abroad, through the appoint
ment of a corps of special agents and
supervision of the commercial activi-
ties of the various consuls.
Mr.. Redfield declared his depart
ment had an ambitious programme Of
investigation and trade fu~rtherance.
He said it was the intention of the
government to press it vigorously "if
funds were provided.
For example," said he, Eat this
present moment the inquiry into the
pottery industry, which is a very i'm
portant and intended to be a very
helpful investigation, is almost at a
standstin for lack of funds. ...-
81" assume o are aware of the
great advance of American export
trade in manufacturing the last year.
Time was, within the memory of most
of you when We sold abroad chiefly
the products of our fields and farms
or of our mines. We were known az q
food-eXporting country, and in a sense
did largely. feed the nations. That day.
IS one. Our exports Of crude food.
stuffs are but IS per cent Of the total,
INC the major place in our export
trade is filled by the products of our
manufactures, in which work you of
Detroit have had a, large share. ' -
"To sell our manufactures abroad to
the extent of v e $500, 000, 900 in value
in one year is no small thing; but
when this continues to expand at the
approximate rate Of half a million
dollars daily, n when in this total
the largest item by far is that of fully
finished manufactures, which is not
only, as I have said, the biggest item,
but that which is growing fasteSAs
her the statement is very much more
marked" '
In concluding, the secretary told his
hearers that, if the funds were forth
coming, he proposed to reorganize the
Bureau of Corporations so that a sys-
tematic inquiry into all big combina-
tons could be made. This, he said,
would not be undertaken in any mimi
cal spirit but solely for the purpose
Of securing information which he be-
lieved the government should have.

When Herman Simon, perhaps
the largest silk manufacturer in
the United States, died in Easton,
Pa, the other day, it became
known that he had left a third Of
his fortune, estimated at $9,000,-
600, TO his employees. His was a
business which he had spent thir-
ty-six years in building, and he
had come, to the conclusion that
his employees were entitled to some
Of the profit.
To his widow he leaves his two
houses in Easton and his residence
surance, and $4,000 in cash. The
residue of his estate is to be divid-
ed into 1000 parts. .
OF these parts Elizabeth Mary
Simon, his wife, gets 666; mis- sis
ter, Mrs. Emily Ebert. Of Frank
fort-on-the-Main, Germany, $50;
Mrs. Grace Bixler of Easton,
daughter of Mrs. George Simon by
her former husband, 307 parts.
The remaining SIT parts, about
one-third of the estate, are divid-
ed among twenty-three persons,
most Of them employees, who re-
eeive from one~t to 1876 parts apiece.
The will provides that if any of
TIE ueuelcldrleS nave leIC MT. ST.
mons employ or are dead, their
share is to be divided among the
others. Direction is made that
the beneficiaries shall form a cor
poration to be known as the r. &
H. Simon Co. and continue the
business. The will was dated June
%, 1906. There were no public be-
quests.
Mr.. Simon's mills at Easton and
Union Hill employed about 1850
hands.

Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Wheat: Further
light rains in India and free Canadian
offers caused decline in Liverpool
prices at 1870 p. m. The pressure of
enforced marketings abroad is still
responsible for continued weakness.
Argentine prospects are also very
favorable. The domestic situation
still remains strong. Some reaction
in prices can be expected on the
cables. With a large short interest
he low prices prevailing and the un-
certainty regarding the outcome in
India, the short side does not appear
attractive.
Corn: A continuation Of bad
weather throughout the belt will still
further stimulate cash demand and
receipts be correspondingly diminish
ed thereby. We look for our corn to
hold relatively strong until the new
crop starts to move.
Oats: 1t will prove difficult to ad-
vance prices until the Canadian Of
ferings are out of the way and our
enormous domestic visible begins to
melt under a keen consumption de-
mand. That time has not yet been
reached.

READING OF ORDINANCE
Meter Ordinance, as Amended and
Changed, Taken Up in Commits
sion Meeting Today,

The commission met this morning for
further consideration Of the meter or
dinance as amended and changed in
their deliberations Of the past several
days. The ordinance will have to come
up for another reading before it's final
passage, and there will be no definite
action on it for a number Of days yet.
After investigating the request of
Andrew Nelson, the. painter, to con-
struct a galvanized iron building on the
rear Of the lot at. 511 Second avenue
north, the board decided to. allow the
permit, as he already has a wooden
building there, and the work will be in
the nature of improvements, which will
really tend to lessen the fire risk.
