SMITH
MAKES BIG SPEECH
And Other Wahpetonians soost
for Grain Growers Conven-
tion Next Summer.
DELEGATION MAKES A Hit
And is Given Every Assurance ol
Getting What They Were
Sent There For.

President Smith of the S. SIS.
accompanied a bunch of other
Wahpetonians to Fargo last Fri
day for the express purpose of
bringing the next meeting of the
Tri-State Grain Growers conven-
ton to this city next July No
vote was reached on the propo-
sition, but a postal card vote will
be taken in the near future, and
the delegation was given every
encouragement to believe that
their invitation will be accepted.
President Smith was spokes-
man for the delegation on the
convention floor and they do say
that he made one of the best
speeches of his life. He was
backed up by a letter from ths
T numerical Club Of this city and
another one from Mayor Eber-
ley, and the entire delegation wa.
busy buttonholing members of the
convention and plugged for Wah-
peton to beat the band. Promi-
nenL among the Wahpeton boos-
ters was o. A. Leach, who was not
regularly appointed delegate but
did a lot of splendid work among
the members just the same.
The delegation from this city,
in addition to Messrs. Smith and
Leach, was composed of w. +.
Eckes, J. H. Mccoy, Hugo Stern,
Joe Dietz, R. NJ. Lunday, Clyde
Milton, A. B. Dickinson and Billy
Robbins. Every one Of these gen.
tlemen was a Johnny on the
spot" and even Fargo was coIil-
PEELED to sit up and take notice of
the whole hearted way in which
Wahpeton extends an invitation
and means it.
1t is practically settled already
that Wahpeton will have the Tri-
State Grain Growers convention
next summer, and the affair here
will have an altogether different
ending from the one that Fargo
has just had.

CONSERYA
IS TAKEN OYER
Corporation of Citizens BUYS
WahpetoR's Big School of
Music.
FIVE TRUSTEES CHOSEN
Who Will Have Charge of the In
stitution and Manage It's
Affairs.

A week before Christmas Mr.. E..
w. Hoyt, who is responsible for
the organization of the Conserva-
tory Of Music, called together a
body of public spirited citizens
and informed them of his intend
ed departure from the city and
asked that a corporation be form
ed to purchase the school. After
due dcliberation, a committee of
which our Mr.. Louis Fligelman
and Mrs. Winnifred Mcckstroth
were the principal enthusiasts,
was appointed. After four days
canvass of Wahpeton and Brock
enridgc, the committee returned
with twenty five per cent more
stock sold than was required. The
stock holders held meeting last
week and elected board of
trustees as follows: Mrs. Meek
stroth, Miss Martha Fulton, Mr..
Will Eckes, Mr.. j. p. Reeder and
Mr.. Edward Balentine of Breck-
enridge. Saturday this board mel
formally purchased the Conserva-
tory, pianos, fixtures, good will.
contracts, teachers and the stu
dent body. The Conservatory is
therefore an established institu-
ton, owned by the citizens of the
cities and managed by a board OF
trustees, than whom no better
could be found.
1t nows becomes the absolute
duty of all citizens to support
their own school of music. Near
ly two-hundred students were en-
rolled before Christmas and a
number of course have entered
since. The finances of the school
are in perfect condition and the
teachers are all busy. A more
ideal location could not be found
and as soon as Mr.. Hoyt leaves
the city his apartments will also
be occupied by the Conservatory
n glee club of sixteen voices and
a ladies chorus of forty voices
are each preparing a program to
be given in the near future for
the benefit of the Conservatory.

as to the amount of rainfall at the
head waters of streams that
cause floods are covered by tele-
graphic reports sent by local OBJ
servers. AS this rain reaches the
main channel, the height of the
water in the channel is determin-
ed by successive gaging stations.
Past records establish how much
a height, say of 20 feet at Dubu-

export, another station so miles
down the Mississippi. This plan
is followed all the way down the
river, and at each point full al
lowance is made for the effects of
water from tributaries, and from
additional and local rainfall. AS
a result of these observations in
the recent floods the people of
Cairo had warning a week or ten
days in advance. The Pittsburgh
district can be given only IL to
"a hours notice because a flood
is upon them within "a hours
after a heavy rain storm.
