versity Avenue Call for Improve
ments in July.

Bids for the improvement of Uni
versity avenue will he submitted to
the city council before July 10. 1t is
h a work will commence on
the avenue as DON as the contract is
let.
The Improvements authorized on
the long venue will make that thor
oughfare one of the finest in the en-
tire northwest. The arched culvert on
the University Coulee will be very sim
ply in architecture, but will be a
strong and substantial affair. 1t will

the estimates of the city engineer.

the English Coulee nea the university
and it's reconstruction will cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000.
With the b~oulevarding Of the entire
avenue from the city limits to the
English coulee, with the four rows of
trees to be planted, and the addition
of new sidewalks the avenue will be
one of the big attractions of the city.

CONDEMNS NEAT
100 POUNDS BAD
Food Inspector Finds QUAINT
ity of Spoiled Stuff-Goes.
to the Dump Grounds.

While inspecting one of the local
butcher shops Mrs. r. A. Sprague dis
covered nearly 100 pounds of spoiled
meat which she condemned at once.
The meat had been shipped in here by
express from Sioux City. Iowa, and
had evidently become spoiled on the
way; Mrs. sprague was in the shop
at the time the meat was delivered
and noticed hat it was bad and she
forbid the dealer to allow n of the
meat to be sold. The owner OF the
shop seeing that it was out of the
question to try and save any of the
meat, had it taken to the city dump
ground Immediately. Mrs. Sprague is
keeping very careful watch of all
goods of this nature. She says that
such a thing could not happen If
Grand Forks had a municipal slaugh-
ter house.
Mrs. Sprague is also asking the DIFF
ferent business men in the city to have
the sidewalks in front of their stores
washed off every morning during the
hot. dusty weather. There are a
great many people suffering from sore
threats and minor ailments which
might easily be caused by germs in
the dirt which gathers on the walks.
If this dirt is washed off into the
street every morning it will be taken
are Of by the street cleaning depart
ment and the healthful condition Of
u streets will be greatly improved.

rain which fell last evening was quite
general. Moisture fell in nearly every
part Of the Red river valley. An
ihch of rain fell at Lisbon and Wahpe-
ton while Langdon and jamestown
each report one-half inch. In other
sections the rain was light, but the
farmers are feeling good just the
same. A great many different reports
are being sent in in regard to the crop
situation in North Dakota. Some say
that there will not be more than half
a crop at the best in many parts while
others maintain, that if good rains
come inside of a few days everything
will be in great shape. Ransom and
Sargent counties also reported good
rains last night.
The rain did not reach further west
than jamestown and there was no
precipitation as far south as Valley
City. There was a slight hail storm
at Park River, but it did not amount
to very much. There was a heavy
fall of rain at Larimore. Other places
which reported a light fall are Lam

CHURCH union
IS PROGRESSING
One Doctrine Has Been
Adopted by the Three Nor
wegian Denominations

Rev. j. c. Wisness Of jamestown.
who was reelected president of the
Young Peoples league of the Norwe-
gian Synod, church, which closed its
big convention in this city Monday.
left 1or his home city yesterday.
The work Of the league has been
very satisfactory during the past year
with every indication that the league
will grow fast. In speaking Of the
nations in the Norwegian churches,
Rev. Wisness said that the consum-
nation Of the union is being looked
forward to by all church people af-
fected. The union is going further
than a mere federation. 1t will be an
Organic union where the churches
will practically coalesce. The union
will work many changes when finally
brought into working order.
1t means that there will be many
churches for sale on account of the
three churches, n church for each
denomination. Only n church will
be used under the new plan that is
being worked out. .
There will not be a surplus Of pas
tors and preachers because those who
do not take an active charge Of a
church will do outside missionary
work in connection with the church.
There is at the present time a great
demand for preachers in the three or
CARNATIONS. The running expenses OF
the churches will be a great deal less
after the union. The surplus fun,ls
will be devoted to many worthy
causes.
One Doctrine Now
The union of the three churches,
the United Lutheran, the Norwegian
Synod and the Hauge Synod, is indi-
Gated by the fact that one doctrine
has been adopted by the three
churches which will take effect imme.
diately. This means that the end to-
ward which the organizations have
been working for so many years has
finally been reached.
