NO SALOONS AT FERGUS FALLS.
BY Decisive Majority Voters Put
Thirst PariorS to SIeep,

For the next year at least Fergus
Falls will drub along without licensed
saloons and the reports say that a
mayor and council have been elected
who will see to it that no unlicensed
saloons will be allowed to exist, as was
alleged to be the case a year or two
ago when the saloons were voted out.
At the election On Tuesday the to-
tai vote against license was SIS and
the total vote for license was 514.
Twelve blank ballots were cast, but
the majority against saloons is SO de-
cisive the blank ballots will cut no
figure whatever and will not effect the
issue, Blank ballots are a factor when
the margin is very close.
". H. Mcbride was elected mayor
over E.. T. Nelson by a majority of
IS votes. The total vote of the town
was 1,179. The local papers insinu-
ate that If the laws are enforced and
no Illegal selling allowed Fergus will
be dry for years to onle but if viola
lions are allowed with impunity sa-
looms will be voted in next April as
sure as the month comes, as the pub
lie will not allow the laws to be
trampled under foot.

new LEAGUE PLANNED

Fargo stands an excellent chance Of
having professional baseball and the
Fargo Commercial club executive COM
mittee has taken notice of the project
as presented by Ira Bidwell, late nan
ager of the Cheyenne, wy, team in the
Mountain league.
The matter was presented to the
executive committee at a meeting to-
day at noon when Mr.. Bidwell was
present. He proposes to put in a high
class professional team in Fargo and
Moorhead Jointly, which will be known
as the Fargo-Moorhead team and the
games will be played across the river
if the arrangements can be made.
Mr.. Bidwell managed the Cheyenne
team for three seasons and his team
was the champion of the Mountain
league and among his me- We're many
who are now playing in the National
and American leagues.
The matter was discussed at length
AMI Mr.. BidwelI was present. 1t was
suggested that perhaps it would be
possible to secure a league hat would
be composed Of the Fargo-Moorhead
team, Valley City, Jamestown, Fergus
Falls. Detroit and Crookston, which
would make a nice little league of six
towns, all within easy access
The details were not worked out, but
it was decided to lave a committee of
the Fargo Commercial club take up
the matter with the managers of the
street car people and the Moorhead
Commercial club, and to report at q
meeting to be called in the very near
future. Mr.. Bidwell has no fear of not
getting the men, and says that he a
secure a good team at short notice.

from the state highway commission
to Andrew Houglum, the county
auditor, Clay county has been allotted
$4,000 for road purposes this year.
Double the amount was asked for,
but the commission is obliged to con-
fess that 1t is short Of funds and that
is the best 1T a do this year. The
allotment to the county in 1912 was
very nearly $4,000. but for various
reasons it was not expended so that
with this years allotment Clay county
win have to it's credit for road i'm
provements from the state $6,933.43
which, if judiciary expended and al
lowed to be wasted by incompetent

BETTER FARMING MEET
Better Farming Association Of Clay
County Decides FOR TWO Big
Meetings on April IS.

After dining with L. "A. Huntoon. at
his beautiful home, last night. the
committee OF bankers, appointed to
plan a general meeting Of farmers.
merchants and bankers of Clay coun-
ty. at which it is proposed to perma-
nently organize a Better Farming as
ISOLATION for Clay county, decided up
on the holding of two meetings in
Moorhead on Tuesday, April is, one in
the afternoon and one in the evening.
The principal meeting Of the c
sion will be held in the evening in the
auditorium of the state normal school.
At this meeting at least prominent
speaker from the outside, and a reput-
ed authority on the Better Farming
idea will be engaged to make the prin-
cipal address. The afternoon meeting
will be held in the large room in the
Masonic building-a sort of q get-to-
gether and get-acquainted session.
The arrangements for the meetings
and planning the programmes, and do
ing the necessary advertising to noti-
fy those interested, was left in the
hands Of a subcommittee, II, r. Rob-
erts of the Moorhead National bank
and l.. A. Huntoon of the First Ma
tional bank. Already the gentlemen
have taken steps towards the planning
of the programmes for the two meet
ings and in a day or two the invited
speakers will nave been heard from
and then positive announcements Of
the programmes will be made. The
indications are that there has been a
general awakening in the interest Of
the Better Farming idea and it is pre-
dicted that on the date named Moor
head will be the host for the biggest
crowd she has ever entertained, men
wholly and solely interested In the adj
vancement of the business of agricul-
ture in Clay county, an enterprise
which should appeal to every man in
the county-and it is believed that 1t
will.

Speculative eossip.

Chicago, April ga good many
traders who have been bearish on
wheat were over on the bull side yes
terday. They argued that the sif1s-
ton in regard to supply and demand
favors conservative buying and said
that the principal pressure for several
days has conla from short sellers.
some OF the sharpest observers of pit
conditions say that yesterdays wheat
market was prevented from advancing
materially by a number of traders who
were bullish selling enough to check
the upward movement. They also
rnade the point that a good part of the
sales were taken back at a fractional
Rrof1t. Bears made the point that
crop conditions are as good as can be
expected at this season and have sell
dom II ever been better. They also
called attention to the Increases nraso

ed at May price of Buffalo. while re-
Gently q cent over was asked The 10.

Evening Grain Lattar.

Chicago, April S.-Wheat: The mar
ket opened a shade easier and ruled
rather heavy during the first few mo-
ments of the session, but turned
strong and advanced nearly n cent
per bushel from the low point on the
giving out of our Mr.. Shows report.
Local professionals continue to favor
the bull side, but the selling around
the top came chiefly from commission
houses and looked like long wheat,
The spring wheat markets were heavy,
Future prices depend almost entirely
upon the weather surrounding the
growing crop, and no complaints are
coming to hand as yet.

Liverpool. April 3.--The wheat mar
ket opened with a steady undertone
and prices unchanged being influenced
by the steadiness in America yester-
day, later there was some disposition
for profits on expectations of very
heavy Argentine shipments this week
and prices declined "a The forecast
is for large worlds shipments and the
favorable weather conditions in India
together with free offers from this
country and freer Australian offers led
to profit taking. The decline, howev-
er, was checked by the closing firm
ness in Buenos Ayres and u~nfavorabIe
reports from Russia regarding the
weather. At 1;S0 p. m the market
was dull but steady and u lower than
yesterday.
Corn opened unchanged and later
the American grade advanced II in
sympathy with Chicago and firmer
American offers. The favorable
weather in Argentine and freer plate
offers checked the advance.
Buenos Ayres, April 3.-Wheat clos
