COMING IN ITS ENTlRTY
SPARKS WORLD FAMOUS SHOWS
TO VISIT VALLEY OITY FOR ONE
DAY ONLY-TWO EXHIBITIONS

Four hundred people employed and
carrying over 200 foreign and domes~
tic animals, is the statement made by
j. c. Tracy, agent for the Sparks
Shows, who was in town Wednesday,
making arrangements for the appear
ance of this big circus here on Mon
day, June %.
The strange colony of people, hand
some horses, rare wild animals and
the golden caravans are scheduled to
arrive here during the early hours of
the morning of the above date in their
own special trains from Lisbon, where
they will exhibit the day before.
Circus day will begin with big
street parade at 1920 A.. NJ, and two
performances will be given, the first
starting at 2 o'clock and the other at
8 o'clock. E.
The grounds known as the circus lot
have been arranged for by the agent
and number of our merchants will
receive contracts to furnish immense
quantities of feed stuff for both man
and beast.
The Sparks world famous shows
have been successfully established for
the past 81 years and bear reputa-
ton in the eastern sections of the
country second to none for the high
class exhibitions presented and the
honest manner they have of dealing
with the public-no gambling or graft
ing being tolerated or carried with
these shows.

The story of the grand lodge of tho
I. o. o. F. at Devils Lake shows THAI
the race for the 1915 meeting was
, just as close between Valley City
and Wahpeton as any such contest
could possibly be. On the first two
ballotings the vote was tie. Before
: the third vote was taken the Bismarck
delegate was called from the room
and with his vote lost to Valley City.
Wahpeton won out
Valley City probably would have
won the meeting but for the fact that
she had it nine years ago and that
| Wahpeton has not had it for many
; years.
i The outcome of the contest prao-
, tically assures Valley City the meet
ing for 1917. Our accessibility to the
different sections Of the state, as well
as the attractions of the city, makes
, Valley City the strongest contender
for the meeting.
| One important action of the grand
lodge was the changing of the term
, of subordinate officers from six
months to one year. This change will
undoubtedly make for the betterment
of the order.
/ o. P. Emerson was the delegate Of
the Valley City Odd Fellows, while
Mrs. Casper Winkler represented the
Rebekahs. Both were very much
pleased with the reception accorded
the orders at Devils Lake.
Devils Lake, N. D., June Sin a hot
contest with Valley City, Wahpeton
was this afternoon selected as the
next place for the Odd Fellow grand
lodge meeting. Carrlngton, Mandan
and Grand Forks were also candi-
dates.
The big contest of the meeting came
today in the election of the trustees
of the home fund in that this board
will designate the location of the inst
tuition. The new board is as follows

the dance will be used toward the new
hall soon to be erected in this commu-

The site for the building of the new
hall has been secured on the D. R.
Jones farm east of the grove on the
old Menke farm. The lumber will be
on the ground soon and work is to be
commenced at once. The intentions
are to have it completed by the 4th of
July, when there will be an old fash
toned celebration in the grove, and a
dance in the hall at night. The bust
ness men of the neighboring towns,
and farmers of adjoining localities
have contributed literally to the hall
enterprise, and their support is appre-
ciated by all the live ones of the Clark
City neighborhood.

COMMITTEES NAMED FOR
THE 1915 CHAUTAUQUA

Prospects were never better for a
very successful Chautauqua session
than at present, as the business men
of our city are taking an active part

outstanding bills will be paid before
the session opens, 1t will be a great
inducement to create the best of feel
ing for the association.
The board of directors haye appoint
ed an executive committee, who will
have full charge of the ChautauQua
management. This committee is COM
posed Of business men who have given
and will continue to. give their valu-
able time, as they realize that the
ChautauQua is a valuable asset for our
city. This committee would ask every
member Of the committees to do their
utmost to make this session better
if possible than any of the past.
J. H. Sampson, our competent cat
erer, has been allowed the restaurant
concession on the grounds and will
serve good, wholesome food at prices
now being charged in town.
The talent committee has been very
fortunate in securing some of the
very best numbers that have ever ap-
peared in this vicinity. You should
not fail to hear them.
The grounds committee will arrange
to have evrything in the best of con-
dition and will give special attention
to the safeguarding of the swimming
hole, having a competent man in
charge. d. ,..'
Make your arrangements for a tent

COURT SAYS STEEL
TRUST IS NO TRUST

Trenton, N. j., June 3.-The United
States district court for New Jersey
today handed down a decision refus-
ing the petition by the federal govern
ment to dissolve the United States
Steel corporation. AS against the gov
eminent the court refused to dissolve
the corporation, holding that in &C.
quiring it's foreign and home trade
the concern did not violate the Sher-
man antitrust act and refused all in
functions prayed for by the depart
ment of justice as against the Steel
corporation.
The court held that the committee
meetings participated in by IS per
cent of the steel trade of the country,
including the Steel corporation, subse-
quent to the famous Gary dinners of
eight or nine years ago, were unlawful
combinations to control prices; but as
these meetings had stopped before the
government filed it's complaint in o.
tober, 1911, the judges held there was
no occasion for an injunction.
The opinion of the court suggests
such practices lie within the province
of the new federal trade commission,
but adds if their repetition is appre-
hended the court WILL, on motion Of
the government, retain jurisdiction Of
the case for that particular purpose.
The court states that "the real test of
monopoly is not the size Of that which
is acquired, but the trade power of
that which is not acquired"
The suit, instituted by the Taft ad-
ministration, was prosecuted for the
government by Jacob Dickinson, for
mer secretary of war, as the chief
counsel.

Arouses Great Interests

Washington, June 3.-News that the
government lost it's dissolution suit
against the United States Steel corpor-
alton for the moment almost matched
the international situation in interest.
The suit was regarded as probably the
most important antitrust suit ever
brought by the department of justice.
The case undoubtedly will be appealed
to the supreme court of the United
States because the government will
likely be unwilling to leave such
questions as were raised unsettled ex-
cept by the highest court in the land

NORTH DAKOTA NOTES
OF THE FRISCO FAIR

The electrical engineering papers
have had a great deal to say about w.
D. A. Ryan, the chief of the electrical
department of the Panama-Pacific
inerrnatioal exposition, and Mr.. Ryan
has not suffered in any way by what
has been said about his magnificent
work at the exposition, his illumina-
tion schemes at night being the talk Of
the cizilized world. In conversation
with Mr.. Ryan the other night, the
writer learned that he was at one time
a travelling salesman in the Dakotas,
and that these states were responsible
for at least three of his splendid cleo
trical effects. He said that the
northern lights of the Dakotas were
directly responsible for his conception
of their replica in electricity here at
the exposition; that the sun rising one
morning over the broad prairies was
responsible for another effect that he
secured here; that a train pulling up
grade in North Dakota one night
gave him the idea of the puff-balls,
where charge of powder is shot out
of a mortar and then the strong
searchlights are thrown on the smoke.
1t will be noticed that when train is
pulling up a grade that the fireman
will open the firebox door to throw in
a shovel full of coal and then shut the
door while he is filling his shovel with
coal. On dark night this gives a
wierd effect, the smoke curling up
back over the engine cab and the
fash of light from the fire-box illumin-
ating the black smoke for an instant,
and then there is darkness, then an
other fash and then darkness. Mr..
Ryan has the faculty of using homely
things to make great things.
The $4,000 model Of the battleship
North Dakota was unveiled at the San
Diego exposition May II by Miss Mary
Benton, formerly a resident of Fargo.
The model is located in the navy de-
partment exhibit at the exposition and
is said to be beautiful piece of work.
John Freyberger, who has charge Of
the grain and grass exhibit at the
North Dakota building, has been do
ing lot more decorating with corn
during the past week, and has chang
ed the appearance of the rotunda
greatly. Mr.. Freyberger is never sat-
isfied with things just as they are
and therefore is constantly adding
here and there so that there is always
something new to see in the North
Dakota building.
