Most Successful State Fair
in History Of the State Will
Come to Close This Evening
THEN AND NOW

One hundred years ago today
; the first locomotive in the world to
successfully haul a load of freight
upon rails made its maiden trip.
Invented by George Stephenson,
the Father Of locomotives" 1t
made its first run at KiHingworth
colliery in England. 1t had SO
many rods and cranks strapped
to it's boiler that it had the ap-
pearance OF a huge grasshopper.
It weighed about six tons. A pair
OF "walkingbeams," resembling
those of a modern side wheel
steamer, turned the four wheels.
There being no cab, the engineer
had to stand while the engine was
in operation. 1t pulled eight load
ed cars, which aggregated a weight
Of thirty tons, UP track that had
a grade OF one foot in an eighth of
a mile. The test was a grand"
success, the engine running about
six miles an hour. The first loco
motive to draw a train Of cars in
the United States made It's ex-
perimental trip in the Lackawanna
coal district fifteen years later.
This locomotive also was the pro-
duct OF Stephenson. 1t was called
the Stourbridge Lion, after the
place of its manufacture in Eng
land. It's American engineer,
Horatio Allen, ran the engine over
a track of henllock rails for
preliminary test. Then he invited
any gentlemen IN the gathering of
spectators to accompany him. His
invitation was not only refused
but he was urged to give up his
foolhardy ambition, Laughing at
his advisers, he pulled the throttle
wide and dashed away at ten
miles an hour. ~

The annual Old Settlers reunion at
! the Old Settlers headquarters, north of
the race course, was a huge success.
Delegations of old settlers came from
Grand Forks. Minot and Valley City
ADDED to these were large contingenta
| OF old residents from Moorhead and
Fargo. The Fargo band, led by Harry
NJ Rudd, gave an excellent concert,
Followed by Mr.. Rudd's cornet solo,
Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot.
w. A. Scott, president of the state fair
association, delivered the address of
welcome in which he made everyone
at the meeting feel thoroughly at home.
VIM. H. White, who had previously
collected valuable data concerning the
deaths of old settlers in the Red river
valley during the past year, gave an
interesting memorial address.
Honorable S. G. Comstock Of Moor
head, an old resident and a man who
was one of the principal builders in
pioneer days in the Red river valley,
gave an enthusiastic address. He sees
big things ahead for the gate cities
at the crossing of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railroads. Mr..
Comstock said: THE crossing is on the
main highway between the great lakes
and the Pacific, and all that is needful
is for us to secure our share of the
natural growth of this region" Mr..
Comstock was applauded when he ad-
vised Grand Forks to abandon it's fair
and help develop the state fair at Far
go.
United States Sen. P. J. McCumber
of North Dakota delivered the prin-
cipal address of the afternoon. He
said, when our lives began they made
pottery on the wheel as they did the
funeral urn for RnchePs tomb. The
loom which wove Joseph's coat of
many colors was the method used until
our day. The sickle used in the field
of Boaz was the method of cutting
grain until 1910; now we have passed
through a quick succession to the self
binders wonderful fingers Of steel. In
our generation we have passed from
the OK cart to the automobile. Even
our dead now come back and sing TO
us songs of Lang Syne and in the
moving pictures, the hand of God
seems to have seized the shadows and
given them life to move before us.
Senator McCumber drew a picture
Of the troubles in Mexico and the labor
unrest in Montana and Colorado. He
wondered If We are not drifting back
to personal government. He empha-
sized the Importance of the tri-headed
system OF government in the United
partment not encroaching on another.
partment not enchoaching on another.
In closing the senator paid tribute to
the pioneers who have helped to build
up the Red river valley and North
Dakota. Among them there is a
friendship found nowhere else." he
said.
Last nights fireworks were excep-
tional. A number OF set pieces, the
best ever seen in the state, brought
continued applause from the crowds
that filed the grand stand. 1t was a
late hour when the last Of the thou
sands of people at the grounds reach
ed the city. ..

Berlin, July 25.-The grave possibil-
fties connected with the strong Aus
trian note to Servia, which virtually
took the form of an ultimatum, de-
manding the suppression Of the Pan
Servian movement and the punish
ment of those concerned in the as
sasination of the late Arch-Duke Fer
dinand and his consort, are recogniz-
ed in official circles here. 1t is be-
leved in authoritative quarters here
that the Servians will yield unless as
sured of support from outside and
for this reason official eyes here are
turned less toward Belgrade than to
st. Petersburg, where council OF
ministers is expected to settle the
question of peace or war. 1t Is stat
ed today that Germany had not been
consulted regarding the Austrian note
to Servia before it's delivery, but that
she thoroughly approved the step TAX
en-, and is prepared for all conse-
Quence that might result from 1t. -
Ii is pointed out that should Russia
take part against Austria, Germany
Is fully prepared to draw the sword
on behalf of her ally in accordance
with triple alliance agreement be-
tween Germany, Austria and Italy.
Comment in the German press
strongly supports Austria. The radi-
cal organs such as Tageblatt, Frank.
fort Gazette, in close touch with the
financial world and usually strongly
pacific, find terms Of the Austrian
note amply justified. Newspapers
such ais zeitung, Am Mittag, Vossische
Neitung, which are quickly respon-
siye to popular sentiment, also pro-
Austrian, and evidently still feel the
influence of the assassination of the
arch-duke and duchess. ~

All English society is discussing
the separation of the Marquis Of
Anglesey and the narchioness. 1t
is expected that legal action of
some kind will soon be taken.
After a marriage Of less than, two
years and the birth of daughter,
the marquis left.
The marquis fell i'll and he went
to vAix-les Rains last winter for
& the cure Being accompanied by
the marchfoness. AT the end of the
cure at Aix-les Bains the marquis
sent the marchioness home to
London, saying he needed com
plete rest. and went himself to
Naples, accompanied only by his
secretary.
Since then he has never return
ed, to see her and declares that he
never will or can.
The marchioness was Lady
Marjorie. Manners and was one of
the most talented and attractive
girls in society, with great gift
for social life. 1t was always said
that only royal objections pre-
vented Prince Arthur of Con-
naught from marrying her. When
Lady Marjorie married the Mar
quis of Anglesey,, for whom Prin-
cess Patricia OF Connaught was
said to have formed an attach
ment, it was considered that she
had made the most brilliant
match possible.

UNDER THE SEARCHLIGHT

will return again next year, if present
indications point in the right direction.
One Of the most interesting exhfb-
it's and one of the most interesting ex-
hibitors is to be found IN the agricul-
tural building, where John Monson
has his bees. Mr.. Monson has made
thorough study of his pets, with the
result that hundreds of fair visitors
learned things about bees, during their
visits to the fair, which they never
knew before. A favorite demonstra-
ton of Mr.. Monsons is to let bee
sting him in callous place on his
hand and then show the stinger under
a microscope. .
''Rudd's boys" as the Fargo band
men are familiarly known, not only
proved their musical qualifications
during the past week, but they also
established reputation as a wreck
ing crew. While the band was on its
way to the fair grounds one of the
street cars jumped the track, and the
boys quit playing long enough to get
out and lift 1t back where it belonged,
after which the trip was resumed.

Today over $4,000 locomotives
are in motion over the 250,000
miles of trackage in the United
States. They consume about $780,
100000 tons of coal and carry over
billion passengers annually.
After adopting the English born
child Of civilization, the United
States took the lead in it's de-
velopment and application until
today it stands as the worlds
greatest manufacturer of locomo-
tives. Besides making enough to
meet the domestic. demand, the
American manufacturers are ship
ping locomotives abroad at the
rate Of a dozen a week. They are
laundering through the mountains
Of South America and over the
plains and valleys Of Africa; they
are disturbing the calm of the
Orient, and are dashing from one
end Of Europe to the other; they
have invaded the land of the loco
motives birth, England. and are
in use upon its principal railways.
Like the steamship, the locomotive
is growing larger and more power
full every year. The largest re-
ported to be in use today Is a
huge compound engine which
measures 120 feet over all and
weighs $4,000 pounds. It Is an
oil-burner and carries 1000 gal
Ions of Oil and 10000 gallons Of
water. 1t cost $43,SS0 to build.
These giants have reached a point
where one locomotive is so long
that it Is hinged in the middle
with a flexible joint so that it can
turn a curve without upsetting.
Thus the locomotive has become
the modern "Atlas that carries the
burden Of the worlds trade and
population across the continents.

This matter has been pending for
some time, first being brought to the
publio's attention by A, p. Fiecken-

RaiIroads' Claims Presented.
when the commission opened its
session this morning, Eben Macleod
OF Chicago, chairman Of the Western
Traffic association, represented the
railroads concerned and presented
their claims to the commission.
Chairman Macleod entered a large
mass of evidence taken from recent
hearings before the interstate com
Yllerce commission and the Minnesota
Railroad commission.
His contention was that the old ex-
cess baggage rate of 16 "a per cent
was not even sufficient to. cover the
cost Of luggage by the carriers. This
rate has been reduced by the commits
sion to I3 ia per cent or 20 per cent
or what the railroad raised It TO after
issuing the coupon books.
Doud Mixes Reply.
Chief Attorney Doud Of the United
Commercial Travellers stated that he
had not expected to argue something
that was interstate In nature, but had
understood the contention was more
Interstate in character.
He said he was sonnewhat unfamil
lar with the case from this standpoint.
so was accorded the privilege OF going
over the matter before presenting the
travelling mems claims.
The commission adjourned the ex-
cess baggage rate hearing at 1880

much equipment available that, what

THAT the crop, if it holds up any
