INGALLS, CORNER
out IN Country
Forty Years Ago Today
Since Mrs. Maloney Ar
rived in Grand Forks.

Forty years ago today, Mrs. Mary
Maloney arrived in what was then the
village of Grand Forks, Dakota Terri
tory. She joined her husband who
had been here for some little time.
Mrs Maloney came by boat from
Moorhead and landed back of the
present Herald building. Her hus-
ming from Fargo to Winnipeg, and
many are the thrilling tales she can
tell of early experiences.
The village consisted of q half doz-
en- or so of white families, and the on
ly store was that of the Hudson Bay
company. and the stock carried was
general merchandise and was consid-
cred very fine one. rl
The buildings were erected around
the. Great Northern tracks and even
at that day the place gave promise Of
sured for many years.
The Northwestern hotel was in pro-
cess Of construction and was built on
the site Of the building owned by o.
Young, on the corner of DeMers ave-
nue. and Third street. Mrs. Maloney's 8
father built the home on the corner
Of DeMers avenue and Fourth street,
and when neighbors came they stayed
all day, because the distances were so
great anu the means OIL lOCOmOtlOn
were neither so numerous nor so rapid
as they are today.
Warm friendships were formed at
that time which have lasted through
all the years, and Mrs. Maloney
speaks Interestingly OF "old times and
old friends"
The ingalls, house was afterward
erected on the site of the first home,
and for more than a quarter Of GEN.
tury was landmark and favorite
hostelry. The men who were here in
the early days spoken of were the
sturdy pioneers who have been so
successful as individuals and citizens
in building up greater Grand
Forks which today is known from
coast to coast and stands as a monu-
ment to those who had faith that the
city was destined to take an honorab BILE
place IN the history Of the country.

GIRLS STRANDED At ANTWERP
Bad Luck Continues to Pursue Fish
man Family-War Prevents
Daughters Return.

The troubles Of the Fishman family
which attempted to come to America
some two months ago to join Michael
Fishman who Is located In Grand
Forks, appear to be by no means over.
The eldest daughter, who accom-
panied the child with eve trouble TO
Antwerp, is now stranded in the Bel
gian city unable to leave on account
Of the war with Germany now raging.
At the time the family arrived in
Montreal, one Of the younger daugh-
ters was found to have eye trouble and
was therefore not permitted to enter
the country. 1t was finally arranged
that she should be sent to Antwerp
for treatment under the charge Of one
Of the older girls. The older daughter
was then to return to this country.
The two narrowly escaping sailing
on the i'll fated Empress of Ireland,
and finally reaching Antwerp safely
last week. according to cable mes
sage received here.
They are now practically marooned
there, however, and j. B. Wineman,
attorney for the family. is at a loss
to know how to reach them.

NO STR|NCENCY
IN LOCAL BANKS
Deposits Have Shown In
crease Since Beginning
of European War.
AMPLE RESOURCES
ARE AT HAND
In Formal Statement, Local
Clearing House Cites
Previous Success.

Developments during the last two
days have fully justified the bankers
or Grand Forks in their decision to
continue to pay out cash as in normal
times, and not to resort as yet to the
We of clearing house certificates, ac-
oording to A. L. Hunter of the First
National bank.
The period of financial stringency
caused by the declaration Of war by
the various European powers is now
practically at an end according to
Mr.. Hunter, and the banks Of this
city should have no difficulty in meet
ing all demands for ready cash.
This is especially the case owing to
the fact that within the next few days
the federal reserve bank in Minneap-
oils will commence operations.
That the people Of Grand Forks
have confidence in the local banks ie
shown, according to Mr.. Hunter, by
the records of deposits during the
last few days.
In no case have these fallen off, and
In two of the local institutions the
crease.
The following statement was given
out today by the local clearing house:
Conditions Improved.
Local bankers are in receipt of ad-
vices from eastern money centers that
the financial situation is much i'm
proved and credit is freely obtained
for legitimate business Undertakings.
Local financial conditions are
sound and shipments of currency from
the east are already being received,
giving every promise that the volume
of currency and credit will be ade-
quate to take care Of the crop in the
large territory tributary to Grand
Forks.
Recalls 1907 Success.
while some financial centers have
been temporarily obliged to limit
currency payments and issue clearing
house certificates, the banks of this
city have, as in 1907, handled the sit
uatfon with their own ample resourc-
es, causing no interruption to business
in Grand Forks or inconvenience to
their aptrons
Business interests Of the state are
most concerned in facilities for mar
keting the splendid crop now being
harvested. Little apprehension is
now felt along this line as the British
government offers to protect ship.
ments of grain against the risks of
war and grain movements will no
doubt proceed in the usual way and
at satisfactory prices
The northwest. with it's large pro-
duction of food stuffs, today stands in
an enviable position in the business
world"

Generally speaking, c. L. Van AL

When there is a problem to be

plained the auditor. "He says 1t

Does it cost much to operate?'
questioned Mr.. Van Alstine eau
tiously.
Nope" said Mr.. Alexander, land
for that matter the first cost is low;
shouldn't cost You more than $780,"
Where can I get it?" demanded
the street commissioner eagerly.
"Wtll. I don't quite know" said
the Etditor. thoughtfulE They're

"I'll do it," declared Mr. Van AL
stine, starting for the telephone.
'What'd you say he called the blame
thing?"
Jack" said Mr.. Alexander.
Jack questioned Mr.. Van AL
stine, wonderingly
'Uh huh," said Mr.. Alexander. HE
used to have a pair Of em va see,
and he called one Jack and tother
Jenny but Jenny died so he can't
drive 'em together any more and

look Of puzzlement seemed in danger
of becoming frozen on Mr.. Van AL

Just then the door slammed be-
hind Mr. Van Alstine.
"Well, it's good idea anyway"
murmured Mr.. Alexander to himself
with a grin as he returned to his ac-
counts.

the UNANIMOUS consent of the citi-

gained.

few oats. Upon inquiring we
find more men preparing to SOW
wheat this year than common
and they usually speak of sowing
about ten acres each. Good for
