FORTY THREE
YEARS IN FARGO
JAMES HOLES ARRIVED HERE
JULY 10, 1871-PREDICTS GREAT
FUTURE FOR STATE AND CITY
IN POPULATION AND INDUS
TRIES.

Forty-three years ago today James
Holes arrived in Fargo from st. Cloud
coming all the distance in a. lumber
wagon and crossing the Red river in
a temporary ferry near the present
Crabbe farm.
When Mr.. Holes arrived here there
were but five uncompleted cabins and
these were occupied by a number of
Norwegians who came from Goodhill
county, Minnesota on May II, 1871,
thei national holiday.
The only people who were here at
that time now living were Mrs.
Andrew Holes of Moorhead who was
the first white woman born in the city
limits, Mrs. McHench who lives on
Fourth avenue south near Eighth
street and Jacob Lowell. Land was
worth at that time about $1.25 which
~contrasted with $103.50 which was paid
for Clay county land last week shows
to what extent the value of the coun-
try has grown. When Mr.. Holes ar
rived here the country had been at
fected by grasshoppers and a great
drouth so that General Hazens de-
scribed it as a dead country"
Mr.. Holes stated that they always
thought that Fargo would be a city,
but its progressive growth, every year
steadily forward, has more than ex-
ceeded their expectations. Fargo IS
now the largest city in the state" said
Mr.. Holes, land there is no reason
why it should not continue SO. 1t is
in a rich country n 1t will grow
steadily. In forty-three more years
it will be many times larger than 1t
is now. However, it will not grow
by itself, the city must be built"

NORMAL CONCERT SUCCESS

One Of the most successful events Of
the summer school was the concert
given in the normal auditorium last
evening. All of the contributing. ar
fists are we'll known and their efforts
last evening were highly appreciated.
Master Everhard Lehman of ST.
Paul, known as the boy soprano, san
two beautiful selections, I Hear You
Calling Me, and Isle D'Amour. His
voice is remarkably clear and the
beauty of his tones were delightful. If
he can but retain his magnificent
voice he will be a wonderful singer.
Mrs. Ernest r. Wright. known as
the suffrage singer of North Dakota"
was at her best and the unusual beau
ty of her selections was much appre-
ciated. Two violin solos by Miss Ag-
mes Thor nton were beautifully render
ed and the reading by Miss Boo, The
Man in the Shadows, was charming.
Henry Houglum also delighted with
his two tenor solos.
Altogether the concert was a splen-
did success and the large audience
greatly appreciated the splendid work
of the artists.

GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT
WHEAT FROM HESSIAN FLY

Has your wheat been infested by
the Hessian fly this season is a
uuuestion tina the U. S. department
of agriculture is now asking farmers
The information is desired that there
may be general cooperation etWee
all concerned in reducing the devasta-
tions of the fly.
The farmer will then be asked to
forward some of the infested wheat
plants for examination, postage to be
paid by the government. He will also
be asked to give his name, address,
and the nearest railway station.
The department is cooperating with
various state experiment stations in
this campaign against the Hessian fly,
and in some cases the infested straw
will be sent by the farmer to local
stations for examination. The wheat
grower can learn just where his sam
pie of straw will be sent when he
sends his name to the department, in
dicating his willingness to send the
sample. The department encourages
the sender not to be afraid to forward
too much straw. even though 1t has
to be sent by parcel post. The upper
part Of the straw need not be sent,
but enough above the ground should be
included to get the insect in what is
known DIS JIlS IdASCCO SNoSO NHSN
the larva is increased in a hard, brown
skin and somewhat resembles a flax
seed. The insects will remain for a
considerable time in the "haxseed"
state during a drought and will only
emerge after rains have moistened
soil. Dry weather in the late summer
tends to keep the insect in that stage
which is a fact of special Importance
in the north where wheat must be
sown early enough to enable it to
stand the winter.
Probably no other insect causes
more damage to the wheat crop in
the United States than the Hessian
fly, although there are certain years
when the chinch bug exceeds he fly
in devastations. During the seasons
when the fly is especially abundant
hundreds Of thousands Of acres of
wheat may be either totally Destroy
ed or so badly injured as to reduce
the yield so to IS per cent. The
monetary losses run far up into the
millions,

HAS BEEN TOURING EUROPE
THIS SUMMER AND ALSO AMER
IcAN CITIES, WILL RENDER A
SPLENDID CONCERT HERE.

Arrangements have been perfected
to bring the famous Luther college
band, perhaps the greatest student
musical organization in the central
west. to Fargo for one of its splendid
concerts at the armory here on
Aug, 10.
The Luther college band has just
concluded a trip through Europe where
1t won great success and praise from
all the countries n cities in which
appearances were made. The Euro
pean tour included Norway, Denmark,
Germany and Russia.
Before sailing for Europe early in
the spring, concerts were given en-
route in various American cities. in
Guiding Chicago, Columbus, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Toledo, Pittsburgh, Buff
falo, Philadelphia, Washington, Balti-
more, New York and Boston.
So delighted were the audiences in
these American cities that the band
was compelled to promise return en-
gagements in each upon its return to
America this summer.
Accordingly the band management
mapped out another American tour
and all of the above cities were in
cluded in the itinerary together with
other cities wherein the band did not
appear on its way east.
Additional cities in which concerts
will be given on the return trip will
be Milwaukee. st. Paul., Minneapolis,
Madison, Des Moines, Fargo, Duluth,
Superior, Council Bluffs, Omaha, Kan
sas City and st. Louis.
The appearance will be made in Far
go under the auspices of the local

c. 0. Smith TO THE RESCUE

The boys at the state fair. grounds
are having a good laugh on Fire Chief
Sutherland this afternoon when his
new model fire extinguisher drove into
the fair gates and he was endeavoring
to show it off to good advantage. 1t
caught on fire itself and C. o. Smith
put it out with a bottle of water.
The fire chief was going to show the
boys at the fair grounds a little dem
onstration and the thing turned OUT
just as things sometimes do when Won
want them to do their best in the
presence of company.
Just as Chief Sutherland drove
through the fair gate the extinguisher
took fire itself and c. O. Smith ran
hastily to the rescue and put out the
blaze with a bottle of water. Every
body Is having a good laugh at the
genial chiefs expense.

ST. WITHINS DAY
PROPHECY OVERTURNED

July Is was st. Williams day. on
which, if ancient mystery days be true
the weather for the following forty
DAYS would be determined by that
day. On st. Withins day it will be
remembered it did not rain and &C
cording to the superstitution we should
have dry weather for forty days more:
But twice since then has it rained and
the first fifteen days of July have beer
the driest for twenty-three years.
However ST. Withins day serves to
recall the ancient almanacs that used
to be consulted before every picnic or
trip Of my length. The old legend
Is very old and that it has lived to this
day shows that there must be some
basis for the remarkable superstition.
Evidently the saint, however, missed
his calculations this year.

on Fifth street north between N. P.
and First avenues, but they will open
for the accommodation of their num-
erous patrons during fair week and
expect to have the formal opening
when the building is entirely complet-
ed about Aug. /.
There is no doubt that this garage
is Of the finest in North Dakota and
will have features possessed by no
other. Among the special features
which go to make this garage unique
is that it will nave all the latest mod
ern conveniences, including an electric
elevator and a turn table. In addition
there will be separate compartments
with locked doors for those owners
who desire to have the utmost pro-
lection for their cars.
w. M. Ball, the proprietor. said last
night: There is no key to the front
door" Night and day service will be

COOPERATION
SOUGHT BY CLUB

ticnlarIv :snxioIs that The var;oIa
machinery houses will keep in mind
the effort hat has been made to inn
prove North Broadway between the
city and the fair grounds, and . that
they will permit the thoroughfare to
benefit to the greatest extent by the
recent oiling by keeping very heavy
traffic off the road.
The best way to cooperate with the.
efforts of the automobile club in main
tanning the road in first class condi-
tior Is to keep off the traction engines
and other heavy machinery that
would cut into the road. This can be
done by employing other roads in
travelling between the city and fair
grounds with heavy exhibits.
