TREFZ TO SPEAK
NEXT MONDAY
E,ELD SECRETARY OF UNITED
STATES CHAMBER OF CON-
MERGE WILL DELIVER AD-
DRESS AT FARGO COMMERCIAL
CLUB NEXT MONDAY EVENING.

The anticipated address Il Edward
r Trefz of Washington, field secretary
Of the United States Chamber of Com
merce, before the Fargo commercial
club, which had been announced Tor
this evening at the club Assembly
rooms. will not be held unit! next
Monday evening, Labor day, Sept. Z.
Owing to an error in the transmits
sion of the telegram from President
Fahey of the United States Chamber
~ Commerce to President Cone OF the
Fargo Commercial club, the date OF
Mr.. Trefz's appearance in this city was
misread and the impression was
formed that tonight would be the
evening he could. deliver his acoress
in Fargo.
President Cone later received word
from President Fahey that Mr.. Trefz
would not pass through Fargo until
Labor day. So arrangements have
been perfected for his appearance here
at that time, next Monday evening, at
o'clock, instead.
President Cone will probably preside
over this affair and present Mr.. Trefz,
who In reality needs no introduction
to the business men of Fargo. as he
was one of the members Of the official
party of the officers Of the United
States Chamber of Commerce which
visited Fargo last year.
Due to the cordial relations existing
between the larger body and the local
organization, which have been so thor
oughly established by former President
Watson and his successor, President
Cone of the Fargo Commercial club,
the members of the active business
mems organization are fortunate to
have the offer of such an excellent
speaker as Mr.. Trefz.

IMPORTANT LAND
CASE IS DECIDED
WINS IN THE CASE
OF UNITED STATES AGAINST
OSCAR WIGEN, WHICH HAS
BEEN IN COURT MANY YEARS
SETS PRECEDENT.

The case of the United States
against Oscar Wigen, which has been
pending in the federal court here for
many years, was decided by Judge c..
F. Amidon on Saturday afternoon and
decision handed down sustaining
the government at every point. By the
decision a precedent has been set in
land cases which is most important in
legal services.
The case in question involved a
quarter section Of land in McHenry
county and the action was brought by
the government to cancel a patent on
this land on the grounds Of fraud. By
the order of the court the patent is
cancelled, vacated and set aside; the
deed from the father to his son to the
land vacated and set aside and a per-
manent injunction granted restraining
all others from asserting title to the
land.
AS the case has been pending for a
great number of years, and as the de-
cision of the court really sets prece-
dent in such cases. the victory Of the
government has attracted much at
tention of the legal circles, not only in
this state, but all over the country as
we'll.
Col. M. A. Hildreth, assistant u. S.
attorney, represented the government
while Christianson & Weber of Town
er and Lawrence and Murphy of this
city represented Mr.. Wigen.

SUB-AGENCY DOES
A Big BUSINESS
OF LOCAL POST
OFFICE, OF WHICH PEOPLE
KNOW LITTLE. HAS ON HAND
AT END OF AUGUST BUSINESS
$123,175.7e IN STOCK.

There is one department of the
Fargo postoffice, which is little known
by the people of the state or Of the city,
for that matter, that annually does a
tremendous business. This Is the sub
agency, which furnishes stamped
envelopes and postal cards to the other
postoffices over the state.
This morning Postmaster H. c..
Plumley was going over the report
Of the August business Of this depart
ment and gave The Forum some
figures, which will give the people
some idea of what this single depart
ment Of the local office does in d
month.
1t was found that at the close Of the
August business the sub agency had d
stock of stamped envelopes and postal
cards valued at $123,175.79. This does
not take into consideration the stock
of stamped Envelopes and postal
cards that are solely for sale from the
Fargo Office. This stock is that which
will be sent out to the other offices
over the state when the postmasters Of
these Offices make requisiion for
them.
This valuable stock is composed Of
3,939,750 stamped envelopes Of all
denominations and 5,424,5OO postal
cards. 1t is hard to comprehend these
numbers but if placed end to end the
postal cards would make a string al
most fifty miles in length.
During the month Of August the
sub agency issued 313,500 stamped
envelopes and 259,5OO postal cards to
the various offices Of the state Of
North Dakota. The envelopes thus
issued were valued at $5,248.16 and the
postal cards at $2,595, a total of ST.
S43.16. The sub-agency issues its stock
to the various offices on requisition,
which is first sent to the postoffice de-
partment in Washington and then for
warded to the Fargo office for filling.
BY this method the government is
saved a considerable amount Of trans
portation expense. The stock Is sent
to the Fargo office by carload lots by
freight and from here are forwarded
on requistion by mail to the offices
desiring this kind of supplies.
Just this month the sub-agency re-
| ceived a carload Of postal cards from
the postoffice department.

SENSATIONAL RACE In
NATIONAL FEATURE OF YEAR

New York, Aug. 31.-The remarkable
four club struggle for the lead in the
National league absorbed baseball at
and Chicago added to the excitement
caused by Bostons remarkable squirt to
catch New York. The Cardinals drew
so close at one period that 1t was poss-
ible for them to take the lead as the
result of one days play. Chicago also
worked dangerously near.
AS the new week opened, however,
the fight for the leadership had mar
rowed for the moment at least to the
Giants and Braves. Despite the best
sort of ball playing. Stallings' men
have not yet been able to dislodge Nc

as percentage points indicate, Boston
has less chance of catching the Athle-
Scs than Pittsburgh, the last place club
In the National, has of nosing out the

The Colonels, profiting by a slump on
the part of the champions developed a

champions into second. The Louisville

they lost that small advantage when
the Millers downed them while Milwau-

Walter Hagen, the 22-year-old

Francis Ouimet's national golf til

Hagen, we'll built youth

ADDITIONAL SPORT
Graingrowers Won
and Lost in Final
Game OF Season Here

The Grain Growers closed their home
season yesterday by losing one game
to Winona and winning the other. The
first contest stood l to 0 in favor of
the locals up to the ninth inning when
the visitors went to bat. Two were
retired and then a brace of hits cou-
pied with a costly error or two en-
abled them to put three runs over
the plate, which gave them the game
as the locals were unable to count in
their half.
The second game was never in any
great danger SO far as the Unglaub
crowd was concerned, though the
Davis gang threw a scare into them
in the final inning when a hitting rally
enabled them to score three times and
come within one of wiping out the big
lead the Grain Growers had. They
were retired, however, before costly
damage was done: Scores:
