FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

One of the largest and most power
fully influential institutions in the en-
tire state of North Dakota is the First
National Bank. Established in 1879, it
is the second oldest bank in the state,
and at the same time the second larg-
est. In the northern half of the state
it is the largest for that area, and there
is no firm, corporation, company or
banking place exercising one tithe the
command and respect from the public
found operative in the case of the First
National Bank at Grand Forks. Prac-
tically all of it's officers and directors
are numbered among the leading Cath
olics of the Northwest. Prominent
church supporters. and leading busi
ness men are probably more thor
ough1y identified with each other in
this instance than can be found else
where in this section of the country.
The statement rendered June %, 1915,
is potent evidence of the mightiness
at $1,S92.232.49, with loans and dis
counts listed at $1,221,773.4, and de-
posts looming up at $1,416,170.O2.
This last figure is a tremendous one.
The Capitalization is $2O0OOO, a mod
est enough amount to clearly show
how great the business is in proportion
to it. The bank officials are men of
power and energy. S. S. Titus, presl-
dent: A. l. Hunter, vice president; ].

GRAND FORKS ICE co.

Nearly all the ice used in Grand
Forks is placed by this company,
which has been established some nine
years. Natural ice is secured from
the Red River and Detroit Lake, the
first named being used for cooling
purposes, and the latter for drinking
water. Numerous of the smaller
towns within a one hundred mile ra-
dius procure their ice of these people.
Both a wholesale and retail business
is conducted. Mr.. Ralph Lynch, pres
ident and manager of the company, is
home product, born and raised here,
and it has helped the local business
not little. Mr.. Owen Young holds
the office Of secretary-treasurer: The
company offices are in the Flatlron
building at 323 Kittson avenue, and
it is from here that the polar kings
issue their DEGREES for the handling
of the frozen article.

GOLDEN RULE STORE.

This store is but one of eighty
three incorporated in huge sweep of
territory, embracing practically all of
the western states from the Dakotas
on to the coast and up and down from
there on. The J. C. Penney company
owns and operates the entire lot, and
from it's office in New York issues and
formulates the plans whereby constant
extension is the plan of campaign.
This store, like the others in the sys-
tenn, handles ladies' and gents fur
nishings, laces, ribbons, notions, boys
and mems clothing, etc. A specially
is made of shoes, and all that the
heart could desire, whether male or
female, young or old, can be shown
you in jiffy at the Golden Rule. The
business is an exclusively cash bust
ness, with all goods bought and sold
for cash. AS is we'll known, this plan
works out the best of all in the long
run. Mr.. ]. C. Penney is, of course,
president of the company, while Mr..
Carl Priess is the manager here in
Grand Forks.

there is but one shop that we recon-

ness. A firm with the duration in busi-
ness that this one has, with the env1-
able record behind it, naturally has
big advantage in the securing of the
bulk of the orders and estimates to
be figured on. The business has been
an upward, ever-growing one since the
first, due partly to the inevitable pros
perity in the surrounding country, and
partly to the efficient manner in which
these people have always gone about
their work.

The women citizens of Grand Forks
organized Civic league few years
ago, and this organization has been
responsible for very much that is good
in the appearance and character OF
the city today. The league originated
or aided in the movement for pure
milk, for the inspection of foods and
the places where they are sold for the
thorough cleaning of the streets and
alleys and the Punishment of the house
fly, and, among the more important
of it's activities, for the installation
of municipal slaughter house. This
plant was erected by the city council
a little less than two years ago, at a
cost of about $1,000. In it all the
butchers of the city prepare their
meats, and the place is patronized
by great many of the farmers OF
the neighborhood. The plant was
started as a sanitary measure, but 1t
is becoming evident that it has also
large commercial possibilities.
Hospital facilities of the best char
acter are provided by two general hos
pitals and a number of private instl-
tutions. The larger of these is St. Mi
chaers, conducted by the Sisters OF
St. Joseph, while the Deaconess hos
'pital is under the charge of Luth-
eran organization.
Most of the modern church denOml
nations are represented in Grand
Forks, and church architecture may be
found in the city of very creditable
character. St. Michaeps Catholic
church is a handsome and dignihed
structure, and the Presbyterians have
a magnificent building. The Catholic
parish of. St. Mary has now partly
completed new building which will
be an ornament to the part of the city
in which it is located.
In it's educational work Grand Forks
has made splendid record. A school
house was one of the first buildings
erected in the original village and the
people have been building school
houses ever since. There are now in
the city six grade school buildings and
one high school, and the board of ed
ucation is now arranging for the erec-
ton of a new modern high school
building. the first unit of which is es
timated to cost $25OOOO These build
ings accommodate more than 3, 600
pupils. There will soon be let, also,
the contract for the construction of a
rarochial school building which will
Re for the accommodation of the two
Catholic parishes in the city.
Grand Forks is the seat of the state
university, whose campus is near the
western edge of the city, and which
is surrounded by splendid buildings
and embellished with trees and flow
ering shrubs. The attendance at the
university is about 1000, and while
most of the students are from various
sections of North Dakota, many are
from distant parts of the Union. fact

works. Adjoining the university, with
it's campus just across the street, is
Wesley college, Methodist lnstltu-
ton, whose students take their denom-
national work there under the d1rec-
ton of their own church authorities,
and their secular studies at the state
university. ..
These arc some of the things which
interest and attract the stranger IN
Grand Forks. In the business district
he will find clean and compact col
lection of business places, several OF
them, such as the new Northwestern
Trust building, being samples of the
very latest and best in business ar
chitecture, and all being creditable in
appearance and arrangement. The
wholesale district is the home of dis
tributing agencies in fruits, groceries,
dry goods, notions and machinery.
There are few cities of many times
it's size whose wholesale trade equals
that of Grand Forks.
In the line of manufactures, Grand
Forks is a large producer of flour. Its
principal mill, with capacity of GU
barrels, exports much of its product
direct to the European markets when
war troubles do not interfere with the
trade. A large candy factory sends
it's product all over the Northwest,
and general iron manufacturing plant
handles a number of special lines, es-
pecally of agricultural implements and
accessories.
A modern electric street railway,
built and owned by local men, pro-
vides frequent and rapid service to
all parts of the city. f..
Grand Forks is the county seat of
Grand Forks County, and in the city
was built little over a year ago a
court house costing 100000, which is
said to be the finest public building in
the state. Just across the street from
it is the new Masonic Temple which
has just been dedicated, and which is
model of tasteful arrangement and
artistic finish. Two blocks distant is
the public library, the Y. M. &. A., to
which is now to be added a $4O,OOO
exension, the funds for which have
just been raised, and the federal post
office building and court house.
The people of Grand Forks are
pleased with the growth Of their city
in population and its progress in ma
teria1 things. But they are still more
pleased that the city mas Deen aDle 10
make progress in the direction of in
tellectual and moral betterment. Much
of their work has been directed along
these lines, and it is toward this prog
ress that much of the effort of it's
principal business mems organization,
the Commercial Club, the churches,
the schools and the other groups has
been directed, and the efforts that
have been put forth have met with
what it's people believe is gratifying
measure of success.

The city of Grand Forks is situated
at the junction of the Red K1Ver

points on the railroad lines winch

tributing point for large and con-
stantly expanding territory.
Grand Forks is the center OF trade
for northern North Dakota and large
sections of northern Minnesota ana
Montana. Its business men are aDie
to reach this territory by lines OF rail-

Grand Forks has a population OF
$4,000. Its growth was greater IN
the last federal decade, and since then'
according to the federal estimates
than that of any other northwestern
citv, and its growth, both in population
and in business, is proceeding regu-
larly and rapidly. The city has never
been doomed. 1t was fortunate enough
to escape the town lot craze OF some
years ago, and all of its growth has
been due to legitimate causes, CHIEF
among which is the solid and endur-
ing excellence of the vast territory
which it serves.
The CITY has fifteen miles of paved
streets, all of which is laid on per-
manent base Its sewer system
reaches every part Of the city, ana
great trunk sewers provide for the
needs of the city for many years. "A
modern waterworks system, which IN
cludes a filter of the latest type,
supplies chemically pure water to the
people. This plant is owned and op-
Grated by the city. The street light,
ing system is municipality owned and
operated, and considerably more than
mile of business streets are l1ghted
bv ornamental cluster lights. The city
also owns an excellent city hall, erect
ed few years ago at cost OF SSo,-
600.
The Grand Forks park system COM
prises some 200 acres OF ground, a.
vided into four parks, one at the north,
one at the south, one close to the
business district, and one near the
western boundry of the city. There

drainage tile to all parts of the prop
erty, and crops are thus supplied with
moisture through the roots instead of
from the surface. To drain the farm
after heavy rain or when enough wa
ter has been supplied it is only neces-
sary to open gates and allow the ditch
es to empty into the canal.
In thousands of cases farmers who
have ponds or streams can have a
cheap and effective irrigation system
on the Budlong plan. Others can
build small reservoirs or dams on the
highest part Of their farms and irri-
gate either by surface bitches or
through thing. The expense will
range from $1,000 to $1,000 on ordi-
nary farms for constructing a suitable
reservoir. Draintiles are needed, any
way. and this item of expense is not to
be charged entirely to irrigation.
Where a pond or other body of water
Is 80 situated that a stream can be
run to the highest point in a field irri-
cation becomes a simple matter, or If
water can be pumped into bitches or
burrows the proposition is easily and
cheaply handled. Light burrows about
eight or ten feet apart will serve to
carry the water through the fields and
down the slopes. This plan requires
that the burrows be kept full until the
ground is thoroughly soaked. In pc
Rod of drought this operation is to be
repeated from time to time. In all
surface irrigation it is important that
the soil be well cultivated as soon as
the water has been absorbed to pre-
vent the formation of destructive
crusts.
Kansas has installed the first irriga.
ton plant owned by that state under a
law passed by the last legislature ap-
propriating $4,000 for experimental
irrigation work. The plant consists of
six modern windmills furnishing DOW
er and six four-inch cylinders, which
lift the water into a reservoir 100 by
100 feet and six feet deep, made of
dirt. In making a reservoir the top
soil Is removed and the sides banked
with dirt from adjoining land. After
dragging and pudding the reservoir is
found to hold water After the reser.
voir has been filed the hoodgate is
opened and the water carried over the
fields.
1t is feasible to construct smaller
reservoirs at high points on a farm.
Generally it viii pay to construct a
concrete bottom. bitches or burrows
leading from this irrigate the crops in
the simplest and cheapest manner
known to man. The matter of keep
ing the reservoir supplied is one that
each farmer can study out to suit his
own circumstances. In some cases a
windmill viii serve the purpose, or a
small engine can be used for pumping
the water. These are cheap methods,
but they are practicable and enable
the landowner to regulate the mois-
ture which his crops require.
There Is no doubt but that simple
form of irrigation will pay any farm
tr. Crops are doubled in extent and
improved in quality by regular water
supply, which is best worked in con-
tection with drainage system.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BowsFIELD

y ~ W y y v y v y v w " y v y y
Modern dairy owners having over
come by means of silage the disastrous
effects Of summer drought it is now
worth while for all farmers to take up
the question of irrigation.
This country is fast reaching the
level of 5000 land, and every agency
that can aid in making the higher
priced farms pay must receive atten-
ton. Irrigation is not commonly I'M
derstood by farmers living east of the
Rocky mountains, and they have look
ed upon its marvellous results as some
thing belonging exclusively to the from
tier. The fact is, however, a regulated
water supply is needed on every farm,
and in the absence of public system
Of irrigation individual or cooperative
action Is called for.
There is no surer method of making
a farm pay than to irrigate it. The
Budlong place of 700 acres in Cook
county, ILL.,, is both watere1 and drain
ed by means of the drainage canal,
and the system pays well in the enor-
nous crops of vegetables which are
regularly produced
Water from the drainage canal is
pumped into bitches which border the
big farm. When these bitches are full
the water flows through ordinary
