Carnival Division.

Next came the carnival division with
an appropriate forecast of the nature
of the amusements which the Rice &
Dore company will offer at the fair
grounds. There was the circus band,
the famous bucking bull, the huge
float carrying some 20 members of
the carnival troop and q dozen or two
riders who are to be seen in the circus
performances.
The race horse division followed
and as many more trotters, PAGERS
and runners, driven or led by their
respective grooms.

Exalted Ruler Featured.

Behind the B. P. O. E. car rode the
exalted ruler, Frank Robinson, in a
tiny cart drawn by a Shetland pony
scarcely heavier than the load it pull
ed. Then came the lodge members
which created more merIiment than
perhaps any other feature of the pa
rade. In it were seen the famous slit
skirt, the hobble garb, the hoop skirt
and various other fashions whose pop
ularity in feminine circles has been
pronounced in the past year. Votes
for Women" banners had their place
in featuring the militant spirit of the
marchers.

HOPES FOR CANAL
OPENING IN 1918
Goethals Again Says Ships
May Pass Through Before
End of the Present Year

Washington, April 23.-Colonel
Goethals. chief engineer of the Pam
anna canal, in report to the war de-
partment, today reiterated the hope
he expressed some time ago that he
would pass ship through the canal
before the close of the present. year.
The statement came in response to
an inquiry from Secretary Garrison
as to whether it would be possible to
grant the request Of Captain Amund-
sen, the explorer. that he be allowed
to take his ship Fran through the
canal when he starts for the Antarc-
tic regions from the west coast Of
South America next winter. Colonel
Goethals said:
The opening of the Panama canal
for the passage of vessels has always
been predicated on the question of
slides and the completion of the lock
gates. The present schedule contem-
plates admitting the water into Guile
bra cut early in October and the COM
pletion of one fight of locks at either
end Of the canal by that same date.
The passage of boats then depends
upon the condition Of the slides. 1t
is hoped that we will be able to pass
ship before the close Of the year
and If this can be accomplished, the
Fran will have no difficulty in maxi
ing the transit of the canal and every
facility will be offered for its doing
so. No assurance. however, can be
given at this time"

Many Representatives Indi-
cate Desire to Make
Short Speeches.
UNDERWOOD HAS BIG
LINEUP FOR FIGHT
Leaders Convinced that Bill can Pass
Senate Without Change, When Fl.
nance Committee Finally Deter
mines Upon its Form.

Washington, April 23.-The tariff
debate was begun in the house today.
Many members Of all three parties in
dicated their desire to make short
speeches and Chairman Underwood of
the ways and means committee and
democratic leader has marshalled an
array of debates for the opening OF
the fight for revision. Representative
Garrett of Tennessee will preside
throughout the debate. while the bill
technically is before the house as a
committee Of the whole.
Underwood reiterated his view that
five days of general debate and.a week
more for a reading Of the bill with the
privilege Of five minutes speech to
each member will be sufficient in the
house. A canvass of the senate by
Democratic Leader Kern, Chairman
Simmons Of the finance committee,
and others convinced the leaders that
the tariff bill can be passed through
the senate without change, when the
finance committee finally determines
upon its form.

"Know Grand Forks" is the plea
on which the Grand Forks CONNER

The direct object sought by the
Commercial club Is to acquaint the

that such a visit as Is proposed under

them to the situation.

Following the series of visits to the
