SALOONS CLOSE IN

orgies Of like nature in the : of
the city. Maudlin song and HI. 4rious
shouting marked the passing of Ii
quor industry valued at half million
dollars annually, slain by the voters c,
Polk county in the. option election held
May "a, last.
It was night long to be remem-
bered, says the Grand Forks Herald.
Saloon after saloon was filled with
crowds of men, participating, as it
were, in the burial of the liquor bust
ness in that city. Out on the streets,
throngs of sight seers, many of them
women, and their escorts, passed to
and fro, while to their ears came the
shouts and cries of the men inside.
Thirtytwo saloons closed their
doors. Before the evening celebration
commenced, two or three places had
run out Of supplies and had closed up.
Other places sold only bottled goods
during the evening. Only a few
places had beer on tap.
Not Always a Saloon Town.
In the early days East Grand Forks
was not noted as saloon town. But
with the admission of North Dakota
into the union as state without sa-
looms in 1889 the liquor business that
had thrived on the west side of the
river was at once transferred to the
east side. Not only were the saloons
of East Grand Forks called upon to
supply the local demands of the two
towns, but in addition thereto a large
portion of North Dakota. All kinds
of undesirable person, gamblers, pick
pockets and cut throats, that follow in
the wake of the liquor business, flock
ed to East Grand Forks, which soon
became noted as the toughest city IN
the United States. During these
many years there have been many
struggles between the law abiding
and the tough elements, but the latter
generally carried the day.
The principal street of the city, De-
Mers avenue, was given up for three
whole blocks exclusively to the liquor
business and appropriately called
..a's4l.slis.sey Row. Of the gildss;
palaces Of sin were among the most
costly in the country. Thousands of
men, and some women too, have there
been ruined in body and soul as the
years have rolled by. 1t was none to
early that the sovereign voters took
matters in hand and removed this ul-
Ger from our fair state. With the sa-
looms gone, East Grand Forke will
face brighter future. New legiti-
mate business enterprises will spring
up to take the place of the saloons.

l was badly hurt and all the people
thought that I could not get cured. I
had country doctor first and he said
that he could not cure me. Then I
went to the Warren hospital and there
| was cured in short time. That
shows that it is good hospital and
that there are good doctors there. No
one need to be afraid to go to that

ANOTHER PIONEER
LAID AT. REST
Thomas B. McMahan, Of Stephen,
Died Last Saturday at home Of
Daughter in Crookston.

Thomas B. McMahan, a we'll known
old settler of Stephen, passed away
last Saturday afternoon at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. ]. r. Walters,
in Crookston, aged u years.
Mr.. McMahan was one of the sturdy
early pioneer of the valley. He came
to Crookston from Reeds Landing,
Mimi, in 1877, residing there five
years. In 1882 he moved to farm
near Stephen and continued in the
business Of farming for number of
years. Later he engaged in the farm
machinery business at Stephen, and
was very successful. In January last
the good and faithful wife of deceased
preceded him to the better land and
her death was a severe blow to- him.
On account Of failing health he left
for the western states some time ago,
returning to Crookston only recently.
The remains were taken to Stephen
for interment, the funeral services be-
ing conducted there at 2 o'clock on
Monday afternoon A large number
of old settlers and friends were pres
ent to show their last respect to the
memory Of the departed pioneer.
Deceased is mourned by the follow
ing children: Mrs. j. R. Walters,
Crookston; Fred McMahan, Paris,
Montana; Richard McMahan, Grand
Forks; and Mesdames Greeley E.
Carr, Minneapolis, and Cora Peters
and A. J. Lovestrom, of Stephen.

NORTH STAR FACULTY
BANQUETED BY STUDENTS.

The rapidly growing college spirit
at North Star College, eliminated
last Saturday evening in a social
function, the like of which has hereto
fore been unknown in the, history of
the school, The reception and ban
quet rendered the college faculty by
the student body, forged bond of
friendship and good will between stud
ent and teacher that will long endure.
It was not without perturbation
that, week ago, the faculty granted
the student body the right to hold a
secret council behind closed doors.
Words, such as "mutiny, rebellion,
strike, petition, and war !, surged
through the minds of the teachers at
this demand. t.Was it a council of
war, or of peace?" That was the
question that ran rife between the
North Star pedagogues. But, all
fears were destined to be promptly
dismissed. The thoughts that had
caused the instructors to look with
awe and suspicion upon every student,
changed to elation when, at Thursday
morning chapel exercises, a represen-
tative of the student body asked for
the floor. In a few we'll chosen words
he extended to the North Star College
Faculty an invitation to be the guests
of the student body on Saturday ev-
ening at eight o'clock sharp.
Talent there is indeed, at North
Star College. Not only when it is a
matter of producing something that
is pleasing to our aesthetic tastes in
the way of literary and musical treats,
but also gastronomically speaking.
At the appointed time, namely eight
o'clock sharp, all assembled in the col
lege chapel. There, after a few fitting
Introductory remarks by the Master of
Ceremonies, Adolph Mattson, the fol-
lowing programme was rendered by
the students in manner that smack
ed of the professional.
Piano Solo ~. Maybelle Lundgren.
Reading .............. Olive Lantz.
Vocal Solo ...... Florence Anderson.
Quartette -. Satterlund, Holmstrom,
Westman and Morud.
Duet 80. Holmstrom and Westman.
At the conclusion of this pro-
gramme by the students, the three
gentlemen members of the faculty
were called upon for the following i'm
T,rofnnt,1 Sneeches.
Prof. Sjostrand -. "College Spirit
Prof. Miller 80. Literary Societies
Prof. Anderson Athletics"
At the close Of the literary part of
the programme, all repaired to the
college dining hall where an elaborate
banquet board, fit for king, was
spread.
The inner man having indulged to
his capacity, adjournment was made
to the gymnasium where Eye good
old games" were played. The fest
ivities ended with a grand march, the
college yells, and "Good night stud
ents."
This was the first function of its
kind ever held at North Star, and we
sincerely hope it will not be the last.
It inserted the arc that formed the
North Star College family into per
feet round. The remembrance Of this
gathering will long find place in the
memory of those present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Ayres rejoice
over the arrival Of a fine baby girl at
their home Saturday morning. Friends
extend congratulations.

SERVICE MEN AT
PANAMA ASK FOR
MORE STEAMERS
Soldiers Complain That Trans
port Schedule to New York
Is Too Infrequent

Not only are Honolulu army officers
clamDring for more frequent transport
service between San Francisco, Ha-
wall and the Philippines, but the can
al zone garrison has likewise Started
something in this line, according to
the Army and Navy Register.
Members of the canal zone garri-
son are DESTROYS, says this publica-
ticn, that the war department shall
establish a regular transport service
between New York and the isthmus.
Representation to this effect have
been made to the war department, but
there is no likelihood Of the establish
ment OF schedule of sailings similar
to that which exists. for example, be-
tween San Francisco, Honolulu and
Manila.
In the first place. the position TAX
en- by the military authorities is to the
effect that there is not sufficient traf-
ffc, either in the number of passengers
or in the quantity of freight. to justify
a permanent service under depart
mental auspices.
The present facilities are regarded
as sufficient for the requirements OF
the situation. largely for the reason
that the transportation is provided at
much less cost to the war depart
ment than If army transports were
used In service between New York or
any other port in the United States
and the Isthmns.
While there are army transports
which are out of service and might be
used in that connection, it is main
tanned that the question CT expense
must be the controlling factor, and.
despite the urgent requests received
from those on the canal zone for a
regular transport service, there is no
likelihood that the war department
will for some time to come regard
the appeals with favor

by the cables operated by drums be-
