William l.. Grasse and II. /. Lewis,
two of the best known. travellers and
officers of the council, were absent from
the banquet last Saturday night, but
they had a. good excuse. They were
called to the "house' IN that morning |
and could not be in attendance, They
say they will not miss the next, when
ever that comes, but they hope twill

Dish" says that the mission of the
masher is to show what a mar was be-
fore he became a man.
All of the travellers are feeling pleas
ed. that Billy Hunt is now the man
ager of the Comstock over at Moor
head. Billy" has hlst enough gray hairs
to give great tone to the house and has
all kinds of dignity when it is neces- !
sary. He has a bright cast Of counte-
nance, a smile that is like a June
morning after a thunder storm and
has a voice as soothing as the lullaby
of a cooling dove. There is no position
In the world that Billy Hunt and his
estimable wife are better capable of
filling than the n they are now in.
All kinds of success are wished them
by the boys of So who will jog across
the river eve so often and take a bite
with them.
The big dance on the evening of
March % will be the real goods and the
supper that Harry Letford of the
Prescott will set up to the boys from

tickets per couple are each 81 with an
extra so cents for each additional lady
and they are going nicely. 1t is ex-
pected that this will be the finest dance
ever given by Fargo council.
Frank Teachout, who stops at the
waldorf, is a member of the Minot
council and remarks that he thinks he
viii be home to take in the dance On
March 20 If he can find some one to
take care of the baby. Teach" is one
Of h live travellers of the state. and
expects to summer at one of the lakes
in the vicinity Of Detroit or Perham.
Bill Hagen, the tobacco traveller,
arises to remark that the man who
makes the most display about giving
up his seat to a lady in a ovid
street or steam car does SO as the car
reaches his destination.

S. G. Mumma merely remarks that if
You give a bald Headed man a fair
snow you will generally find him up in
the 'front.', but whether he means inFthe
theatre or not is not known.
All who have anything to say re-
garding the auto train to Crookston
next June are loud in their praise Of
the idea and there will be more to saw
of the subject in the near future. Just
wait till the boys get through with
their n and reception business and
get down to business on the Crooks
ton trip. ......., ...
John McGrann, manager of the base
ball team, states that his men will put
up the best game they have ever play
ed hen they reach Crookston. There

Will have to do to get into condition.
Cliff Blodgett, the we'll known piano
tuner, VINO has been i'll at his home on
First avenue north for some time aft
er an operation. has not yet been able
to get out of the house, although he is
Improving right along.
The next meeting Of Fargo council
Will be the special on March 29 and the
next regular meeting will be the first
Saturday night in April and it is hoped
that both meetings will be largely at
tended, for there will be a large amount
of business at each one.
According to Col. Tom Hughes. it
has been six years since Tom Dunn has
been filling the office Of secretary of
65. AT the time Tom was elected"
said the colonel to the travellers de-
partment, he was called on to make a
speech and he has made the same one
on each n every occasion ever since,
and he is still doing it. Some of these
days when 1 get time I'm going to write
him another and have him commit it to
memory so he will have two to come
and go on"
George r. Hall, the we'll known ma
chine raveler has been out on the road
for a few days, but has been in town
fora day or two and he reports that
business is fairly good and growing all
the time.
All of the lumber statesmen who have
visited the city the past few days are
of the opinion that business is on the
increase, and that it will continue to
increase right along.
The coal statesmen continue to growl
In the middle of the winter they COM
PAu4hSN kHdS Ll6 pSSpI0 were OuI OE
coal and ordering it when there was no
coal in sight, and now. that there is
plenty OF coal they are not asking for
1t. They are inclined to put the blame
on either providence or the new demo-
cratic president, but Tom Dunno won't
stand for the latter.
Already, the applications for member
ship are coming in for the big special
initiation night, March 30, and the Sec
Rotary is of the. opinion that the coun-
Gil that defeats Fargo in the number
of candidates for that night will have
to travel a mighty fast gait. The boys
OF So when they get real dead in earn
est after a thing are pretty sure to
land.
Jim Grady has been a member of SIS.
for many years, and the fellows would
like to see the light of his countenanee
at some, of the meetings.
Otto Morrow says that there is no
truth whatever in the rumor that he
is to leave the road next summer or at
any other time. He a made up his
mind that in the days of the future he
will be recognized as the oldest knight
of the grip" in the district. He. may
go down to the lakes for a short time
I during the summer but he will he car
