COMMERCIAL CLUB
ENDORSES STADIUM
FARGO COMMERCIAL CLUB THIS
NOON ENDORSED THE PRO-
JEcTED STADIUM AS SPLENDID
CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS PLACE
FOR ORATORS.

The Fargo Commercial club through
its executive committee, in session this
noon. endorsed the projected stadium
for Fargo college as a civic improve
ment.
The erection of such a structure as
a stadium in this city. as centrally To-
Gated as the proposed one will be, is
considered by the members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the commercial
club as one of the best things possible
for the city of Fargo and her future.
The stadium may be a place used as
an open air auditorium in cases Of i'm
mense throngs in the city gathered to
hear orators of national reputation
such as President Wilson. should he
visit Fargo during the next four years,
Secretary of State Bryan or others of
equal fame.
Prior to this time on such occasions
the accommo odat1ons for eminent pub
lie speakers. who have attracted large
crowds from all parts of the state.
have been inadequate and many lis
teners have gone away disappointed
because of the poor facilities afforded
by improVised structures and plat
forms. -
The stadium, to be located Just at
the foot of the hill at the south end of
Island park, will be most admirably
situated for public place of this kind,
central enough for all residents of the
city as well as in close proximity TO
all the hotels so that it is within easy
access to all visitors.
Melvin D. Hildreth, chairman of the
stadium committee, addressed the
members of the executive committee.
F. D. Watkins. a member of the COM
mittee and who has charge of the So
licitation of subscriptions from the
citizens, also assisted in presenting the
matter.
Mr.. Watkins reports that so far sub
scriptions for the stadium have been
encouraging but he is still on the look
out for those who have not yet been
seen.

PIONEER OF N. D. dead
James r. Lyford, Who Settled at
.WheatIand in 1876, Died
at EraZee.

Many Fargo and other Cass county
people will hear with regret of the
dcA:h an old pioreec resident of tbs
county, James R. Lyford. The Frazee
Free Press has the following account
of his death:
James r. Lyford died on Sunday,
July 13, at the advanced age of 81
years, 3 months and 10 days.
Deceased was born at st. Adams,
Me-, April 3, 1919, where he lived until
he was 27 years of age, when he de-
cided to come west and make his for
tune. This was in 1846 and he came
as far as st. Paul Not being any
railroad built there in those early days,
he was obliged to walk from Lacrosse,
Wis. His first property was purchased
shortly after near Cottage Grove. The
deed of this land was signedSby the
president of the United States In
looking over these deeds we found
they read as follows: One quarter Sec
signed by Zachary Taylor, and one
quarter section bought in Minnesota
in 1853 and another in 1854 and signed
by Franklin Pierce. This land was
decided thus because there we're no land
offices in either of the above states at
that time.
In the early days he bought grain at
olilI DouSldS anu IISSCOIJ w lS., ana
also operated store in partnership
with DR.. Beardsley At this time he
was the agent for steamboats, on the
Mississippi river of the Diamond Joe
line
In 1861 he was united in marriage to
Mary E. Ellis, who has been his COM
panion during the past fifty-two years,
and who now survives him
In 1876 he and his good wife went to
North Dakota and bought some land
near Wheatland, Cass county, and
made that place their home until last
October when they moved to Frazee
and took UP their abode with their
adopted son. Chas. Lyford.
Deceased was quite wealthy and re-
manned in active management of his
affairs until about four years ago when
he retired. He was a thirty second de-
gree Mason and man of sturdy char
acter and achievement
The funeral services were held on
Tuesday from the Methodist church.
Rev. Mr. Fanscher preaching an excel
lent discourse over the remains. In
terment was made in the Lakeside
cemetery. The pallbearers who assist
ed in performing the last sad rites, all

ELKS TO The FUNERAL
Quite Number From This City VIII
Attend the Nelson Obsequies
BE- Next Friday Afternoon.

Tt is expected that there will be
several members Of the Elks lodge from
this city go to Lake Park next Fri
day afternoon to attend the funeral
of the late DIR. Louis Nelson. who met
his death Sunday night under a car
there. 1t is hoped by Exalted Ruler

Nelson was one Of the prominent
members of the order in this city and
always took a lively interest In every
thing pertaining to the lodge The
services will be very impressive, but
there will be no Elk services during
the day. 1t is likely that memorial
services over the deaths of John Arm \
strong and Dr. Nelson will be held By
the local lodge in the near future,
probably at the first meeting IN next
month.
