May Latham. in the title role Of
alma, Where Do You Live?' won
much deserved applause at the Grand
Opera House. The play which was
adopted from "French vaudeville"
by George V. Hobart. is given by an
excellent cast, led by the handsome
and vivacious Miss Latham.
There is the spice OF oddity about
the play which deals with the fortuses
OF clean country boy who goes 10
Paris to hear the will Of his foster
father Iead. The deceased leaves linn
large fortune, provided he does not
propose marriage nor fall in love
within twcnty.rour hours after the
testament is read.
Alma, a fascinating, milliner, has
been employed by designing persons
TO lead me hoy to her feet. Attracted
by his youth. she protects him against
his very impulsivc self.

sunday IS MOTHERS day; PRETTY
STORY OF THE Days ESTABLISHMENT

On Sunday. May IL, all the United
States and her citizens, wherever they
may be. will pay tribute to mother.
Ihere are few great men or women IN
the world. who do not owe their sue
cess. and attribute 1t entirely to the in
fiuence of mother. Many of these peo-
pie have expressed their tribute TO her
In words that have been immortal and
will continue so for generations hence.
Mothers day has its origin in a very
pretty story of mother love. Miss
Anna Jarvis. Il young lady of more
than usual talents and grace of. mind
whose home was in Philadelphia, had
the misfortune to lose a tenderly be-
loved mother in the spring of 1909.
This mother. was a devout Christian.
whose life was spent in service for
companion and counselor to. her
daughter, who repaid her in loving
deeds and a"high ideal of womanhood.
The Sunday after the death of Mrs.
Jarvis, her daughter presented the
pupils of her mothers Sunday school
class with white carnations in her
memory. That Sunday morning while
grieving for her own mother, she look
ed over III vast congregation of her
home church perhaps wondering how
many had suffered the loss which she
had undergone. In her heart was a
deep reverence for mother, for her
own mother. and for the universal
mother. The thought came to her,
why not everyone pay tribute, to
mother? From this grew the idea of
a universal Mothers day, when every

The lighting offers made by the Red
River Power company and by Mr..
Lykken and the contemplated i'm
provements at the municipal plant
brought forth a great deal Of argu-
ment. Several times the discussion
became very acrimonious and heated.
The chief stumbling block seemed TO
be a lack of facts. Of figures as to the
actual cost Of electrical production.
The proposition was very generally
discussed by aldermen and specta-
tors present.
The question of the purchase OF
stokers also precipitated a great deal
OF discussion.
The council finally decided to adj
%vertise for bids for one or two $50
horse power boilers, one. two or thres
stokers and one, two or three shaking

HARVEY IS old PIONEER
Came Here in 1874 and Has Seen the
Development of Grand. Forks
from First.

John Harvey Of $50 Alpha avenue
is today celebrating the thirty-ninth
anniversary of his arrival in Grand
Forks. He came to what is now one
Of the finest little cities in the coun-
try in 1874, at a time when there
wasn't much more than a Hudson Bay
Trading Post here.
Mr.. Harvey came down the river
from Georgetown, another Hudson
Bay Post on the steamer Suter Ma
tional. A daily steame service was
at that time running between Moor
head and Winnipeg.
He recounts many interesting
stories of pioneer days in Grand Forks:
The chief business at that time was
hunting and trapping, but very little
farming being done. The country was
practically unsettled, and the only
means OF travel was by boat or by the
"Red River Cart" A daily stage line
or mail coach was later inaugurated
and established between Grand Forks,
Canada and Moorhead. The mail
would. come in in the evening and go
out in the morning.
Indians frequently passed by the
post. Sometimes as many as zoo
would be in the roaming band. The
Indians seen were the Sioux who
NOul0 sCIOSo " VII oIlCu diiN
visit the Chippewas in the Red Lake
reservation. Mr.. Harvey tells of an
Indian scare that created a great deal
Of excitement.
1t seems hat the mail coach was
fired upon by a band of Indians and
driven to cover. When news of this
reached the few settlers at Grand
Forks the women and children were
sent up the river to Fargo. while the
men stayed behind to protect the post.
Bullets were made out OF lead, the
modern breach loading rifle being a
scarce article at that time. .Muzzle
leaders were used by everybody at
that time. The bullets were made by
the bushel. but the Indians did not
appear.
One of the exciting events of the
early days was a negro lynching, the
negro being swung from the brand
new Great Northern bridge across the
Red river. Mr.. Harvey says that he
saw the first locomotive to be used in
Winnipeg shipped down the Red river
on a barge-this a in 1876. In
1879 the Great Northern bridge was
built, the railroad coming in 1881.
Mr.. Harvey is in excellent health
and takes an active interest in the
Home Tea company in which he is
financially Interested. He thinks that
Grand Forks is an ideal place to live.

HAhBRO LECTURES
on EXPOSITION
Norwegian Centennial Cele.
bration Will Draw Many
People from Northwest.

The lectures given yesterday by G.
j.. Hambro the noted Norwegian
Journalist were listened to with a
great deal of interest. Mr.. Hambro
spoke at the university in the after
noon and at the K. P. hall in the
evening. While at the university he
was entertained at dinner at the Com
mons.
Mr.. Hambro spoke on the subject:
Norway of Today" The wonderful
scenery Of Norway was touched upon.
Industrially the country is progressing
very fast, much of the power being
developed from mountain streams. M
less than $4,000 900 horse power can
be developed from the natural falls
in Norway.
The Norwegian people, said MIR.
Hambro, We're highly appreciative of
the gift the people of North Dakota
bust.
The centennial exposition in Chris
tiania in 1914 is a celebration of the
political freedom Norway secured in
1874. 1t is a national exposition and
should be highly interesting to the
larger Scandinavian population of the
northwest.
MIR. Hambro is editor of the Chris
ttania "Morgenbladet," the leading
newspaper of Norway. He is promin-
ent in political affairs; and popula,
with Norsemen all over the world.
