The huge auditorium building was
well filled and most Of the available
standing room on both floors was TAX
en- NY by Fargo citizens when Chairman
]. S. Watson called the meeting to or
der. In opening the meeting, Mr..
Watson said:
This Is a proud night for us, ladies
and gentlemen, but not as proud a one
as that on which this building shall
nave a formal opening, as l hope it
public this building fully completed
and fully paid for. We pledge our
best efforts to that end"
Rev. Father Egan, the first speaker
said, "It was a happy thought on the
part If che committee to bring you here
tonigh. 1t will make o leave feel
ing ll1e a booster and a friend Of the
auditorium.
The first thing in Importance is,
this is our home city. Every improve
ment in the home is a pleasure. The
measure we will get in the future from
this auditorium will be well worth the
money we invested in it. This magni-
fcent building will be a credit to our
cry. 1t will be a place that we can
show visitors in Fargo. 1t means not
only benefit in a commercial way, as in
the number of conventions 1T will bring
to the city, but 1T mean upbuilding in
another way. 1t will be a place to which
to bring artists-a place suitable to
the abilities Of the artists. With this

any city in the United States.
Judge G. A. Pollock, who was in
troduced by Chairman Watson as one
whom you all know" said In part, Il
do not want to deceive anyone. l am
not here on that kind of an errand.
We want money, money from every
citizen of Fargo. We want you to help
us get it.
You may think it can't be done?
Nevertheless, it's just what we are 60
ing to do. How can it be done? Per
haps we will have to save on other
lines. There never was a movement
in any city or in any country that
meant much that did not cost a sac
rifce. Some people say, Let us wait
That will never do. Now is the time
to get this money. Now is the day of
salvation for you as far as public meet
ings in Fargo are concerned.
Chairman Watson, who closed the
meeting, spoke briefly. He said, Faith
err Egan spoke of a word found in
Webster. Tomorrow morning about
200 of our ladies and gentlemen will
give up their time to raising this mon
we need. hope everyone will
respond promptly and generously. The
mention Of the word failure brings to
mind Richclieu, who was i~nstruCting a
young man to perform a duty upon
the destiny of France depended.
What if l should fail?' asked the
young man. RiChelieu replied: In the

THEN
AND

Forty-six years ago today the
first official test of dynamite in
England was made. The hills
around Merstham shook beneath
the mighty vibrations of a new
explosive borne of civilization. 1t
had been discovered by Alfred
Nobel of Sweden and it's expert
mental tests made in the preceding
year. Nobel had created it to take
the place Of the untamed nitro
glycerin, which had appalled, the
world for several years with it's
grim tragedies. The inventor had
lost his father and a brother when
his nitro glycerin factory had
blown up a few years before his
discovery. It's death toll was such
that England, Belgium and Swed-
en- forbade it's manufacture. The
world was aroused when, as a CHI
max to it's record, a ship loaded
with nitro-glycerin blew up in
mid-ocean while on it's way from
Europe to Chill, and the govern
ments were on the point of prohib-
iting its use. It was then that No
bel began his experiments toward
tanning nitro glycerin-and Great
ed dynamite, or giant powder" as
it was first called in the United
States. In his worldwide propa-
ganda to convince governments
that dynamite was a safe ex-
plosive, the inventor came to
America. 1t was while he was regis
tering at a small hotel in New York
that he casually exclaimed to the
hotel clerk that his satchel contain
ed dynamite. The clerk firmly order
ed Nobel to seek other quarters,
and was relieved when he went
out OF the door.

GRAIN IN VALLEY
FREE FROM BLACK RUST

The result of a careful investigation
into crop conditions in the Red river
valley shows that the grain is remark
ably free from black rust. Rust has
made an appearance on the farm Of
William Haarstick near Crookston. On
this farm eighty acres of wheat seem
be quite badly affected by the rust
but, as the wheat is we'll headed out,
it is believed that the damage will be
small.
All through the northern section of
the valley grain is heading out in a
promising n as a result of the
warm weather of the past week. In
Polk county some winter y is being
harvested and the yield is unusually
large. From southwestern Polk Dun
ty comes the report that red rust has
been found in streaks but no substan-
tial damage is expected. In eastern
Polk county prospects were never bet
ter for a bumper crop and the harvest
of a big hay crop has already COM
menced. In the southern counties, in
GLIDING Clay, some damage has been
done by heavy rains, but conditions
are improving and no rust has been
reported.

Refusing to dc this, she was dis
charged after n days employment

Today dynamite is being man
ufactured in the United States at
the rate Of $50, 100000 pounds a
year. Filling 5000 freight cars, 1t
is constantly being transported
e the railroads OF the country.
Though it is the third most power
ful explosive in general use, 1t has
been tanned so that railroad COM
pan1es receive it for transporta-
ton almost as readily as they do
coal. Nitro-glycerine, however, Is
still under the transportation ban
in both the United States and
Europe. Dynamite is today one of
the most important factors in the
progress Of civilization. Without
1t the mighty engineering achieve
ments-the Panama canal, the
mountain tunnels-could not be
accomplished. It takes an import
ant part in the building OF modern
skyscrapers; it is used to mine the
necessary huge quantities Of iron
and other metals that enter into
structures. It blasts out the mil
lions, of tons of coal that supply
heat, light and power, and gives life
to the locomotives that bring food
and clothing to the populace of
cities. 1t Is helping to grow the
food we eat--the modern scientific
farmer uses 1t to plow his land.
It's explosions shattering the sub
soil, which no plow ever reaches.
1t is said to INCREASE the crops
greatly in quality and at by 80 per
cent in quantity. Today dynamite
is used to fight great confiagra-
tons, to fight wars and to prepare
for a large part OF the progress Of
the world.

Liverpool, July 14.-Wheat: Lower
American cables and weakness in Win
nipeg yesterday prompted further sell
ing at the opening and values were 1-2c
to 5-Sc lower. Spot market weak, car
goes more freely offered and cheaper
offers of winters with a slow demand
for forward shipment helped to keep
prices at a lowered level n~otwithstand-
ing unfaVorable reports from Russia
and less favorable European crop pros
poets. The movement of American new
crop and the high grading with expec-
tations of liberal c~learduces together
with private reports received here of
good promise for American spring
wheat are controlling factors at pre-
sent. At 1870 p. m, prices were 1-2c
to 3-4c lower. Corn: Lower American
cables, better weather in Argentine
caused selling at the opening with
prices 3-8c over. Later there vas an
advance of 3-8c in July with shorts

LATE LOCALS

Probably no debate ever held in the
city has been SO generally commented
upon as the suffrage discussion that
has been suggested between Mrs. Irma
Erwin Poppler, suffrage advocate. and
Miss Dorman, antj-suffragist. Since
the challenge vas issued several days
ago., Mrs. Poppler has been subjected
to considerable g~ood-natured grilling,
which no doubt will tend to put her
on edge for the final debate if it is
eventually held. Miss Dorman will be
back in Fargo next week, and fnal ar
rangements for the debate probably
will be completed.
DR.. J.. E.. Frenette will leave tomor-
row evening for Havre, Mont. and
will spend a few weeks on his ranch
north Of that city. Mrs. Frenette has
been spending the summer in Mon
tana, and probably will not return un-
til fall.

NUMBERING INDUSTRY
OF The PHILIPPINES

Washington, D.. c., July 14.-There
are some so, 900 square miles of timber
standing in the Philippines, of which
tWO-thirds is virgin forest, according
to a pamphlet, LAUNDERING Industry
Of the Philippines, just issued by the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merCe. Of the department of commerce,
as No. S8 Of it's special agents series.
The commercial output of lumber has
been steadily increasing and has prac-
tically quadrupled in the last seven
years, amounting to over 112, 900, 900
board feet in 1913.
Although the hardwood products of
the Philippine forests rank with the
best in the world for Cabinetwork,
construction, and various uses in
which durability is an essential fac
tor, very little Of the yearly output
has reached the outside world, as the
home demand is more than sufficient
to absorb the whole present supply.
The industry is capable of very great
expansion, according to those now en-
gagged in the business. The director Of
forestry estimates the amount of tim
Der that could be removed annually
without diminishing the productivity
Of the forests at ten times the present
output. Capital is the principal factor
necessary to develop the industry.
American sawmill and woodworking
machinery will find a promising mar
ket as the numbering industry devel-
ops, according to the publication. In
general the American machinery so
far used has been very we'll liked, and
nearly all sawmill and woodworking
machinery now imported comes from
the United States. About the same
kind of equipment for sawmills as is
used in the United States Is in de-
m9nd. but band-SawS and solid tooth
circular saws, although more efficient,
can be used but little because Of the
class of labor available and the diff
Guilty of making repairs.
The publication is on sale by the
superintendent of documents, govern
ment printing office, Washington, D.
c., for 5 cents.

planned by the society. "A small charge
will be made for the refreshments and
for the rides. The fees collected will
be used to defray the expenses OF e v
eral delegates, who will attend n
al meetings Of the Y. w. c.. A. at Ge-
neva, Wis.
Miss Belle M. Deans, who returned
from several days attendance upon the
meetings Of the N. e. A., in st. Paul
the past week, made interesting COM
ments upon the meeting. 1t was a
! great meeting, h said, full Of in
| SEPARATION and uplift. The great notes
Of the convention were summarized
and emphasized in the resolutions
meeting held Thursday morning.
Among the resolutions were those fav-
oring: Proper physical conditions for
schools; larger Fairgrounds; Increas-
ed salaries for teachers; the SABBATH
cal year for teachers, or the opportun-
ity for travel n study on at least half
salary; political equality n salaries
based on position rather than on sex;
a larger representation of ONE in
the offices of superintendent and prin-
ipal, and boards Of education; teach
ers' PENSIONS; the physical inspection
Of children for health purposes; q ma.
tion-wide system of industrial and vo-
cational education as a phase of gem
eral %education: the teaching Of sex
hygiene in the home; the policy of the
president of the Unitd States and the
secretary of state in the Mexican stu
alton.
The features Of the association meet
ings given for entertainment were of
a high order, Miss Deans said. One Of
them was Miss Bessie M. Whiteley's
Hiawatha operetta, which was pre-
scented by the elementary school, at
the June commencement here. At st.
Paul the operetta was given by classes
of the st. Paul Training School for
Teachers. 1t as evident they had ex-
cellent talent for the characters, but it
was gratifying to note that u w
did not suffer in compari-
son with this most excellent one.
The next meeting of the association
will be held at Oakland, Cal, and it
will be of an international character.
The president of the association for
the coming meeting, is David Starr
Jordan, whose fame as a peacemaker
and as a great personality, makes him
the man for the position.
In commenting upon other figures of
note at the convention Miss Deans re- |
ferred with commentator to the re-
firing president, Joseph Swain of
college, and P. P. ClaXton, |
States commissioner of educa-
ton. Miss Deans said that she was /
glad she had attended the convention.

SCHULTZ CASE
STILL ON IN COURT

The action brought by Mrs. Edna
Lynde against Lee Schulz to recover
wages alleged to be due her for services
rendered during the ears of 1908, 1909,
and 1910 still occupies the attention of
the district court and will probably not
be completed before tomorrow.
Mrs. Lynde alleges that she left her
home in North Dakota in 1908, being
then but fifteen years of age ana
shortly after began to work for Schulz
with whom she remained for the great
err part of three years. The defendant
claims that the plaintiff agreed to
work for her board and that he was
not to pay her any wages for services
rendered. The plaintiff claims she not
only was forced to do homework but
labored in the field at harvest time.
The case will probably go to the
jury this evening or tomorrow morn
ing. 1t Is the last case on the calendar
and the rest Of the jury not engaged in
the trial of the case has been excused.
