DULUTH GETS A
notch HIGHER
THE ZENITH CITY COUNCIL
MOVES UP ONE PEG HIGHER
THAN THE FARGO COUNCIL Ac-
CoRDlNG TO RECENT STATE
MENT. OF GRAND COUNCIL.

Duluth now stands third in the list
Of councils in point of membership in
the standing Of the councils in this
grand jurisdiction, Fargo goes to
fourth place. Minneapolis has a mem
bership of 1,346; st. Paul has a mem
bership Of 1899; Duluth has a mem
bership of 319 and Fargo has 315 in
good standing, which is just four less
than the Duluth council. Grand
Forks stands next with a membership
of 232. st. Paul and Minneapolis each
have social members, and Owatonna,
Minnehaha and Albert Lea each have
one social member. Crookston, which
houses the next district convention
has a membership Of 106 and they are
mighty active men, n will make
things hum next June.
The total membership in the grand
district which comprises North and
South Dakota and Minnesota which
takes in all of the regular and social
members is 1926, which is within sew
enty-four Of being enough to give the
district another supreme representa-
tive, and this it is hoped will be the
case at the n of another year.
The membership at the end of the
fiscal year in the United States and
Canada is 81. sos.
The reports show that the order as
a whole is in first-class shape and is
constantly growing. Fargo council is
in excellent working order and ex-
poets to increase It's membership dur
ing the present term.

ON TO CROOKSTON
IS The BATTLE CRY
CIRCULAR LETTER SENT OUT BY
THE GRAND COUNSELOR AND

w. w. Fegan, grand counselor and
J. M, Dresser, grand secretary, have
sent out a circular letter which is dat
ed Minneapolis, Mimi, the ~headquar-
tiers of the district in regard to the
coming grand council meeting at
Crookston, and here it is:
Brethren: There is just one place
in the United States that o want to
be on June IL. 10 and IA this year..
That's Crookston.
why? Because from 100 to 1000 of
the most progressive, most earnest,
most companionable n biggest bust
ness builders Of the northwest will be
there to do things that will benefit the
whole northwestern U. G. T. frater-
nity-and to have the boss time of
their lives. They are busy men-just
as busy as any of us, but they come to
this meeting because 1t is worth their
valuable time.
You, brother, are doubly obligated
to this great fraternity's cause. The
order is judged by it's personnel. You

Twentieth Annual Session.
There will be much doing. A re-

0OO, 900. On final appraisal the estate
or Il. n. Hartman amounted to less
than half in actual dollars and cents
the figures given in forecasts at the
time of his death. Whether MI.
Morgan left 500, 900, 900 or more or
less, the same is true-rumor tends
to turn ahead of the facts when a
money magnate long in the public eve
renders his final accounting.
Probably the principal cause of this
exaggeration is that people are apt to
confuse the influence exercised by d
great leader Of finance or captain of
industry with his personal possessions
and to credit to him as actual be-
longlngs property over which he held
a controlling hand.

were several on the ground who played
first with one team and then with the
other and When Jalmer Anderson

both, so that in order to ave peace he
was barred from playing with either.
In addition to the playing Of baseball

grand jurisdiction has increased over
500 in membership in the past year.,
that we have almost as many members
as We had under the old federation
when South Dakota and the Canadian
provinces were with us. and let it be
said that this vigorous growth has left
a powerful impress for good wherever
the crescent and grip has been i'm
planted.
AT this time it will not be giving

The Auto Trip.
1t might be we'll to mention in con-
neCtiOn with the above that the Fargo
council has decided to make the trip
to CrookstOn in a train Of automobiles
and that a large and strong committee
has been appointed to arrange all of

Col. Tom Hughes, David Oman,
Charles Baker, Charles Owens, William
E. Hunt, Hector Barnes, Richard Con-

for the chairman. The pacemaker,
pilot car, press car and checker have
all been selected and there doesn't
seem to be anything else to do except
ing to get the boys to go and secure the
cars. The Fargo Commercial club has
very generously offered to supply the
autos with pennants or banner on
which will be printed something about
Fargo. 1t is the understanding that
nothing excepting Fargo and Fargo
council banners n the American COL
ors will be carried on the machines.
At the next meeting of the council
which will take place this evening
there will be something done in regard
to the outing.
According to those who have made
the trip overland between the two
cities, Fargo and Crookston, there can
be nothing that will be more pleasant
in the coming excursion and as Chair
man Bishop of the invitation commit
tee has invited all of the surrounding
towns and cities and the Fargo Auto
club as we'll as the Fargo Commercial
club it is certain that there will be
an immense turn out to the grand
council from this section. The Crook
ston boys have spared no expense and
work to make this one of the very big
conventions Of the grand councils.

General shakeup in all express rates

ruse on the part Of General Huerta to
avoid the receipt Of the notification
from the United States but there seems
to be reason to believe that his coun-
try and the United States arrived al
the point of rupture in their relations
without the knowledge of the prov1s-
ional president of Mexico. Close friends
and political associates OF General
Huerta appeared earnest as late an
midnight in their assertions that tney
could not find him.
1t was suggested in some quarters
that the president had run away. TINS
suggestion, however, was received Win
skepticism. 1t is assumed here by many
of those familiar with the situation
that the logical course to be pursued
by the United States will be to recall
Nelson O'Shaughnessy today unless
General Huerta reappears on the scene
and frankly yields all the demands OF
Washington. It is thought in the same
quarters that Mr.. O'Shaughnessy's re-
call should 1t occur would be followed
by some act on the part of Washing
ton which would be tantamount to rec
ognition of the belligerency Of the
