ORCHESTRA IS
ON A STRIKE
Grand Theater Has Only Pi-
ano Music Today-Want-
ed Extra Days Pay.

Today the musicians pit Of the
Grand theater is empty, the drummers
bells are silent, and the 'toot" of tho
horn is unheard, the entire source Of
music coming from the lone piano in
the pit
The reason for the absence Of the
musicians from their accustomed
place. is the result of a difference of
opinion between A. J. kavanaugh,
proprietor Of the theater and the mu-
sicians' union.
Last Tuesday, Washington's birth
day. a special matinee was held in the
theater. Saturday evening, when the
musicians received their pay checks,
the small amount they felt was due
them for extra services rendered on
Tuesday was missing.
Mr.. kavanaugh was notified that
unless the money was forthcoming
within six hours, strike would be
declared.
According to Mr.. Kavanaugh, it has
been understood in the past that mu-
sicians employed in any union the
aters, are expected to play for mat
inees on legal holidays, and In the
event of a strike, a two weeks notice
Is expected.
Word has been sent to Chicago for
new orchestra, which it is expected
will arrive here by the last of the
week. In the meantime. the theater
will continue to operate with the
pianO alone

DR.. ". /. MATTHEWS
BEGINS LECTURES
Local Presbyterian Pastor Gives First
OF Series of Sermons On
.EfIiciency.'

DR.. William II. Matthews. pastor
of the First Presbyterian church. be-
gan a series of lectures last evening
on Mental Efficiency" or How to
Make the Most of Yourself"
The subject of his discourse last
evening was character. How to
Strengthen it," and was extremely in
title of small volume by D. Starke
which forms one of thSten books on
lished by a New York Company.
The points made by the author of
this book were clearly brought out
and emphasized in the sermon.
Calmness was mentioned as the
This was contrasted with apathy
which often is called calmness. The
necessity of depending on calm
thought instead of enthusiasm was
dwelt upon and it was shown that
lit is not in the heat of enthusiasm
that ideas are fertilized. Unreason-
able enthusiasm is generally sterile.
since it always strikes note that it
can not maintain
physical pain could do much to de-
velop a strong character if the person
who suffers it takes the right attitude
toward It, He should ignore the pain
as far as possible Workingmen should
not enfeeble their characters by de-
manding better working conditions
for themselves, but they should make
this demand for others who are weak
er than they are.
The third point was on opposing
destiny or fate. Here DR.. Matthews
showed the weakening effect of be-
leving that fate has decreed a certain
life for us and we cannot help it.
Another enemy that was to be over
come in making a success of life was
enfeebling sentiment. Parents are
often too indulgent with their chill
dren, without realizing that this in
dulgence. instead Of indicating their
love, shows their egotism. selfishness
and weakness.
The last element mentioned in the
strengthening of character was the
overcoming of all fear. He showed
that people who obey the law through
fear of disobeyinS it are usually weak
and when they get to countries where
they can do it. become low. mean and
dangerous. Missionaries tell us that
those who are to he most feared in
South America are the Americans
who come from the north to get away
from law and order.
The sermon for next Sunday night
is on Perseverance: How to Develop
It," by ii. Besser and translated by
Francis Mcdhurst. This sermon prom
ises to he one of the most practical
and helpful Of the series.

TEMPLE SEES
A LARGE CROP
Accounting Expert, Here to
Instruct Merchants, is
Real Optirnist.

H. NJ. Temple of st. Paul, an expert
on accounting, who is to deliver an ad-
dress this evening at the retail mer-
Forks this morning.
Mr.. Temple is an enthusiast over
business conditions. The war has by
no means made him a pessimist. While
it has been a terrible thing. he be-
lieves that even some good may come
out of it.
West is Thriving.
my observations are that business
in the west is very good and improv-
ing" he said today. Money markets
seem better and the character of busi-
ness in general has taken on an i'm
proved aspect. Business seems more
substantial than in the earlier stages
Of the war. ] suppose that is a reflec-
tion Of conditions as represented in the
east"
Everyone is looking forward to a
big crop this year." he continued
The heavy snow has left the ground
in splendid shape and everything that
grows ought to come UP and flourish" :"
Mr.. Temple is a member of the ST.
Paul firm of Temple, Webb & Co..
auditors and Industrial counselors. His
firm made made audits and eXamina-
tions Of the accounts of the state Of
North Dakota two years ago and one
year ago made an audit at the state
university and installed a complete
routine Of accounting.
Mr.. Temple is here to demonstrate
before Grand Forks business men
that accounting of the right sort is all
important in business and during the
past few years has made enormous
strides in the country. His talk is ex-
pected to prove one of the most in
structive Of the short course.

EXCELLENT LAND IN
RED RIVER VALLEY
Is Opinion Of Purchasers of Property
Near City-Recently Arrived
rom Illinois.

Frank s. Thomas and Charles Eson,
former residents of Illinois, have
moved to this section of the country,
and bought land near here, through
Morgan and Schultheis of this city.
Four immigrant cars were used to
transport their families, household
furniture, stock and machinery to this
country. Mr.. Thomas has purchased
a half section just south of Grand
Forks and Mr.. Eson q quarter section
in Nesbitt township in Polk county.
He has also rented half section in
Sullivan township.
According to Mr.. Thomas. the land
which he has purchased for less than
SIS per acre, is as good or better than
land in Illinois. which was valued at
from $17b to $3.50 per acre.
The quality Of the land. he said, is
better than the Illinois land. in that
it needs much less fertilizing, and will
produce as large a quantity Of every
farm product with the possible ex-
ceptton of corn.

Talks Of Association,

Declaring that a good many perons
wonder what the Farmers Grain
Dealers association is and question
its motives, Mr.. Eckerle this morn
ing gave partial explanation.
He stated that it was the same or
ganization that went under different
names in various states of the north
west and middle west. In Indiana
and Michigan it is known as 1.-The
Cleaners; in South Dakota as the
"Grange:" in Kansas and Oklahoma
as the Farmers Union; in Nebraska
as the Nebraska Farmers Co-opera-
tive association" and in North Dsl-
kota and Minnesota it is the Farm
ers' Equity Uion."
SuppIantcd "Combinc."
This organization. explained Mr..
Eckerle, has supplanted the old Inde-
pendent Grain Dealers association.
which at one time held sway through
out the west and northwest. The In
dependent Dealers he asserted, re-
sorted to unfair practices in the mar
keting of wheat and conducted busi-
ness in the nature of a combine, maxi
ing the farmer the victim.
This organization" declared Mr..
Eckerle. touches no political side.
However, it will look after legislation
that is to the best interests of the
farmer and the small grain dealer"
Referring to the Minneapolis cham-
ber of commerce and the North Da-
kota Society Of Equity. both of which
Grain Dealers association. Eckerle
said:
"DOn't Knock Anyone"
I'VE don't work against them or
knock anyone. There are no political
strings on our organization. but we
do want to see that what is right is
done.
We've got no big fight with the
chamber of commerce. All we want
is peace and harmony"
AS compared with other organiza-
tlons. Mr.. Eckerle pointed out that
no individual dues are charged to
members of the Grain Dealers asso-
citation, but small dues are collected
from each local organization for run
ming expenses.
Seek Better Coopcragc.
me association is working for bet
ter cooperage of cars and is doing ev-
erythlng in its power to better condi-
tons for farmers and farmers eleva-
tors in this state, he said.
There are over 100000 farmers
Who are directly or otherwise interest
ed in this association" continued the

ton draw no salaries Where a state
secretary is employed by the state
board to do regular state work, he is
paid nominal salary, but there are
no chances for graft to creep in as he
must report and be amenable to the
board. His salary is kept up by the
dues paid, namely $50 state dues by
each local farmers company
The organization has done much
for the farmers. A few years ago. it
made possible the chance for the
farmer to sell his grain. without send
ing it through the state grain dealers
organization. The time was when the
state grain dealers had the power that
they could prevent the terminal mar
ket men from taking grain. except
through them. Now the Farmers
Grain Dealers association takes the
place of the once Independent organi-
Zation."

PELoRUs JACK DISABLED.
Lumbago Leaves the Famous Dolphin
 Guide Like Ship Without :. Rudder.

According to captains and officers of steamship trading between New York and New Zealand very little has been seen since. the war began of "Pelorus Jack" tho famous dolphin which has piloted vessels from Wellington to Nelson through French Pass for the last 35 years. Capt Valentine Gilks, who arrived in New York yesterday on hfs way home to London, said that during the 12 months he had been trading be- tween Australia and New Zealand he had only seen ''Pelorus Jack'' three times.
 Jack is getting very old and feeble" the captain continued, '.and has great difficulty in speeding up to keep ahead as the steamships pass through the straits. He was disap- pointed in his pupil, 'Jimmie,' the whistling shovel-nosed grampus. he had trained to succeed him as the finny pilot of French Pass. The. diff ficulty was that Jimmie could not see out of his starboard eye which caused him to carry so much port helm that he was always getting into the shallow water alongside the banks and grounding.
 "Just after the war started old Jack got hold of a fine young dol phin, which was about 10 feet long and odorned with stripes represent ing every color of the rainbow. It was a sight to see him jumping over the back of Pelorus Jack as the lat ter was painfully wobbling along under the bows of the steamships as they entered the narrows. The new pupil was like chain lightning and got through before the vessels he was supposed to be conveying were one third of the way. One day a sailor on Dutch steamship tried to hit the young dolphin with a harpoon and that drove him away"
 The captain added that Pelorus Jack spends nearly all his time in drydock along the bank at the en- trance to French Pass, and the local fishermen assert that the famous fish suffers from lumbago and will not eat his food when it is brought to him.
 The attacks of lumbago prevent Pelorus Jack from using his tail, so that he is like Ship without a rud- der and loses his steering way. Of course as Bo'sun Biff1n of the Cor inthic pointed out, Jack could work his port and starboard fins like twin propellors instead of his tail for steer ing his course; but he would lose so much in speed that the liners would run over him. .9a y
 Jack, still bears the scars on his back where a bullet struck him that was fired from the deck of steam yacht in 1904. This act caused such an outburst of indignation among the local steamship men and fishermen that a special order in council was issued by the Governor of New Zealand shortly afterward to protect "Pelorus Jack" from any further att tempts on his life. He is IA feet long, bluish white in color, and belongs to a rare species of the dolphin fam fly-New York Times
