COUNCIL MEETS
Monday NIGHT
To Receive Paving Plans and
Specifcations-No Word
From Judges.

Plans and specifications for paving
a number of East Grand Forks streets
and alleys will be presented to the city
council at an adjourned meeting Mon
day night. City Engineer Smith will
have the plans ready at that time. \
meeting was held last Monday to re-
ceive the plans and specifications, but,
inasmuch as they were not ready. the
council adjourned until Monday night,
March %.
At the meeting Monday night. the
council probably will fix a date for a
public hearing, so that they can learn
the sentiment Of the taxpayers re-
garding the paving question.
No Word Received.
Local authorities rave received no
word from Judges Watts and Grinde-
land regarding the petition for a home
rule charter. The petition was sub
mitted some time ago, but SO far no
action has been taken. 1t is expected,
however, that the district judges soon
will notify the officials of their decis-
ion regarding the proposition.

plainly displayed-of those oficious

Gene Tighe Suggests Name

The following are extracts from a re.
cent letter from Eugene Tighe:
Needless to say am intensely inter-
ested In the new county proposition.
and am very heartily for it. ! real
we that if it is not carefully managed
in its infancy the tax proposition will
not be even as light as it is at present.
As for that am willing to trust to a

tentious and real business knowledge

would suggest what | think is bet
ter name for the hew county and that
Is ENTERPRISE. When the agitation
was started in 1910 ! suggested this
name thru the columns of the Enter
prise, and the suggestion was very fa-
vorably received. Distinguishing as il
does the characteristics Of people
coming to a new country. and especially
of the people within the confines of the
new county, it appeals to me as more
appropriate than PAWNEE, a name
mentioned in one issue of the Enter
prise. What do the. ENTERPRISING

ADVICE FOR MEN TRAVELLERS
Two Should Not Share Same Room In
Foreign Landa as They Can
Here.

"lf you boys so abroad this sum
mer," said one broker to two others
don't for goodness sake, share the
same room, as you do when travelling
over here. Foreigners don't go In for
that sort OF thing
"Jack and | shared the same room
last year In London. We never no
ticed that the help was smiling at us
till one morning when the chamber
maid brought insJack's shoes with the
hot water. ! had forgotten to put my
own shoes out, and the maid said to
0s, with mischieyous smile:
DO you wear the same shoes, too,
gentlemen?'
"You see, she thought II as absurd
for lis to occupy the same room as It
would have been for us to wear the
same shoes.
"hpd II Is abeard-come to think OF
it-for two men to occupy the same
room. 1t robs them of their freedom,
They must 90 to sleep simultaneously.
They must get mp simultaneously
They'd be much happier In sdjoin.
Ing rooms. And they'd escape tons OF
ridlcule.
For this habit OF two men sharing
room is exclusively American. and
abroad when two Americans demand
? double room for themselves. a smile
Of contemptuous amusement always
fits over the face of the hotel clerk.
That smile Is hard for a freedom
American to stand"

FIFTY YEARS IN PRISONS
Old EnplIshman Who Had Spent

sions, the other day-a gray haired.
bearded man, 6S years Of age. who had
spent three parts OF his life-half a
.entury-in prison for th6fts which to-
day would call forth comparatively
trifling sentence. He was a laborer,
named George Lawrence. and was
found guilty OF being an habitual
criminal. He also pleaded guilty to
having stolen coat and other articles
from an Office In Chelsea. The Judge,
commenting on some Of the mans SEN
tences-flye years for stealing coats
and three terms Of ten years for steal.
Ing forks. box, and an overcoat re-
spectlyely-said that for any one OF
those offenses he would nowadays

prison." said the cid convict. "and |
don't suppose the things l stole were

at first passed sentence Of three years
penal seryitude for the theft and five
years preventive detention, saying II
was the minimum the law allowed In
such case. but later he decided that
the ofense was one In which he could,
having regard to the past treatment OF
