mits is not adhered to very closely, az
while it is required there is no penalty
for failure to do so, the result befns
that a good bit of building and repair
work is done that the city engineer'a
Office never hears of, although that
official and his assistants make an ef-
fort to check these up as much as can
be done while engaged in their other
work over the city.
Among the buildings erected and
under construction are the Ford Motor
Co, building, valued at 10000; Bowers
Bros building 100000: H. Idelkope
building at $4,000; T. F. Powers & Co.
$4,000; w. M. Ball $4,000; W. H.
Lowman $4,000; Amos Tweeden $4,000
and Johnson Construction Co., $4,000.
These do not take into consideration;
as has been said before, the magnf-
ficent new armory and auditorium.
which will be dedicated on Jan. 4, S
and s, nor the Masonic temple addi-
ton. . a
Compared with the work done with
last year there has been an in
crease of building this year of $106, 140.
In 1913 there was spent in building
construction and repair, both within
and without the fire limit, $516,956 as
against a. total of $567,SS5 this year,
there has been a. vast amount of other
improvements done during the past
season. The detention hospital was
improved, $1,000 being spent on the
work. Ornamental lights were install
ed under contracts amounting to ST.
600. The city spent $4,000 IN water
main extension and another $4,000 in
sewer extension. In putting in curbing
connections of water and sewer on
streets where paving is contemplated
for next year contracts have been let
to, the amount of $4,000. In addition
to these items 1876 linear feet of
concrete sidewalks have been put down
at a cost of approximately $s,467. None
of these figures take into consideration
the vast amount of improvements ths
city has made In it's plants and proper
ties such as the big Improvement made
to the headquarters fire station in the
city hall and the like.
If to add to those amounts, the cost
of the auditorium, the Masonic temple
addition and the new school building
there has been finished, actually con-
structed and lis under construction, the
vast sum of $STS.s52, certainly and en-
viable record for a town of the size
of Fargo.

master Tighe then introduced Mayor
H. f. Emery who gave the welcome
address to the delegates on behalf of
the city and was responded to- by
Messrs. Murphy of Jamestown and
Kneiper of Grand Forks.
The main speaker of the evening
was Secretary Leonard Paulson of the
ST. Paul Y. NJ. C. A., who spoke on
The Scope and Spirit of the High
School Movement. His address dealt
with the making of bigger and better
men and the spirit of helping the
other fellow and the manner in which
higher and better ideals could be at
tanned. Mr.. Paulson's talk showed
that he was thoroughly conversant
with his subject and handled it in a
forceful and convincing manner.
Tonight there will be banquet of
the conference leaders at the Gardner
hotel at which a great many subjects
and future plans will be discussed A
picture was taken of the conference
delegates this morning, and this aft
ernoon the delegates will be given an

Austro- German Strategy Failed Of Execution

EMPLOYEES RIDE
LIKE THE BOSS

Los Angeles. Cal, Dec. 12.-one
hundred thousand people in Los An
geles who do not own automobiles
ride in them daily. The business man
headed for his office in a modest
roadster is apt to see his stenograph-
er or a clerk or two aIighting from
a 1915 seven passenger self starter
just before, him. - J. .
This luxurious condition is brought
about by the "jitney' buses, which
are autos running in competition with
the street cars. The fare is five cents.
The busses follow the routes of the
car lines. picking up passengers at
the corners. - l...... . o..
The bus drivers are organizing into
an association, pay city licenses and
are figuring on blanket insurance.
There are almost 1000 machines in
the service, each of which is said to
collect from 81 to $6 daily in fares.
After the morning rush the "jitneys"
are in demand by women shoppers.
A ride of fifty to sixty blocks in an
auto appeals strongly when the price
is only nickel. .-- g..
1t is predicted that the number of
"jitneys" win be doubled in 1915. as
80 per cent of the visitors to the two
great California expositions are ex-
pected to come. to Los Angeles, this
city being the gateway to both.

Nearly three-quarters of million
dollars worth of building and inn
provement, at the most conservative
estimate, has been made in Fargo since
the first of the year-and this amount
does not take into consideration the
completion of the new auditorium at a
total cost of 100000; the addition to
the Masonic temple, at 100000; the
new school building, which has been
begun in the Hector addition and
which will cost 100000, and the thou
sands of dollars worth of more minor
repairs improvements and construc-
tions that have been, made and for
which there has been no building per-
mits taken out of the city engineers
office. a
This is the record of Fargo since
JAM. 1, of this year for actual con-
struction work and gives some idea
by what tremendous bounds the city
is increasing in size and wealth.
Another evidence of the rapidly in
creasing population of Fargo is in the
number of dwellings that were built
within the city limits since the first
of the year. While every. citizen of
the community has realized that there
have been large number of residences
built during the past season, they
probably did not realize that there was
something over 100 new homes con-
structed. Just how many is not quite
certain but there are few over 100
as the records of the Office of City
Engineer Anders shows that permits
were taken out for an even 100, in
cIuding one fiat building. The total
amount spent for these homes. ac-
cording to the figures of the city
engineer, being $279,5S5, the average
cost of the residences being in the
neighborhood of $4,000, should the one
nat building at $4,000 be eliminated
from the estimate.
The records also show that permits
have been taken out for $567,8S5 worth
of buildings alone in Fargo during
1914. OF this amount $27S, 200 worth
were erected within the fire limits
practically the business portion of the
eity-and $2S9,6S5 outside OF the fire
limits--all of the residence section.
OF this amount S4,7S5 were for re-
pairs, that were recorded, and $5,525
for small stores. barns, garages and
the like. Within the fire limits some
thing like $500 were spent in repairs,
that required the securing of a per-
nit or for which a permit was taken
out, The matter of taking out per-

State Conference Opens
With Big Banquet at "Y''

The real opening of the state Y. NJ.
C. A. boys conference occurred last
night at 6: 80 o'clock when eighty one
of the delegates and speakers sat down
to an excellent feast in the ~" au-
ditorium. The room was nicely dec
Grated for the occasion and the sup
per was served by the ladies' auxil-
larry of the local organization.
After the guests were seated the
various groups representing the Far
go, Grand Forks and Jamestown dele
cations relieved their feelings by Civ
ing a number of yells and answering
those of the others. The University of
North Dakota, the Agricultural col
lege, jamestown college, Fargo COL
lege and the Grand Forks and Fargo
high schools were also represented
among the delegations and yells from
their respective schools given.
3. C. Tighe, of the local high school
faculty, acted in the capacity of
postmaster and previous to the pre-
sentation of the first speaker gave

COMES into ITS
OWN AGAIN

New York, Dec. 12.--Wali street
came into it's own today. The stock
exchange which has been closed for
nearly four and one-half months, ex-
cept for limited trading in bonds dur
ing the past two weeks, was re-opened
at 10 O'Clock for active trading in
stocks. One hundred and ninety-two
issues were approved by the govern
ors for trading, though other issues
were barred, notably United States
Steel
The activity on the floor of the
exchange revived memories of the big
days ten years ago. Not for many
years has there been such a big
throng of traders on the floor. There
are LOO members of the exchange
and nearly 700 of them we're on the
floor today.
The visitors gallery was crowded
and there were many women. The
first chime of trinity's church bells
at 10 o'clock long has been the signal
for sounding the opening gong on the
floor. AS the church clock struck a
wave of cheering rippled over the ex-
change and swelied to a vast roar as
the brazen gong clattered noisily In

Many ABSENT VOTER
BALLOTS IN RANSOM

Sheldon. N. D.. Dec. 12.--More than
fifty absent voters ballots were cast
In Ransom county at the recent eiec-
ton. This is new innovation in the
matter of voting and is working out
splendiday for the voter who finds
himself. through business reasons or
otherwise. unable to be home to cast
his ballot on election day.
More than 200 applications for abb
sent voters ballots were made to the
county auditor and it was necessary
for second supply to be ordered
from the printers good many Of
the ballots were used by students who
are away attending colleges and rail-
road men running out from Enderlin.
Many of the railroaders were at home
In time to vote and did not use the
absent voters ballot, as they had
planned on doing, and is the only rea-
son that there was such a heavy de-
mand from them.

at the first sign that the situation was
