item was taken from lie san;u pa
per Of last weeks issue:
y representative o.e the cc,n.
h,ercial club was in W'al.petcn to
attend a meeting of the Duluth
and Huron r. r. held there Tues
Gay. At that meeting the claim
that proposed route through
Wheaton and Fergus Falls to Per
ham was the better one was pre-
sented. A number of eastern men
who are behind the road were
present. They did not accord the
degree of encouragement to Fer
gus Falls that we would have lik =
ed, owing to the fact that they had
practically agreed upon the north
ern route before this later route
was presented. They have already
completed the last survey and the
report of the consulting engineer
who represents the eastern bond
houses has been completed. They
hesitated to go to further expense
They did offer to consider the
matter if the advocates of the
Fergus Falls route would pay for
"a first survey of the new route at
an approximate cost of $1,000.

BAND CONCERTS
AGAIN THIS SUMMER
Band Boys Will Again Appear In
the open on Saturday Night
diving Those
DELIGHTFUL BANDCONCERTS
Last Year tho Band proved Wor.
thy Organization for Wah-
poton and Vicinity

Last Wednesday night Edward
Maresh. conductor of the City
Band of Wahpeton appeared be-
/ fore the Commercial Club and
wanted to know the feeling of the
members Of the club as to wheeh-
er they would support street band
concerts again this summer or
not.
Ever member present said let
the band concerts continue. AM
ong the chief advocates for sum-
mer concerts was Mr.. Frank Eber
ley who said: Last year Wahpe-
tom received great deal of ad-
vcriising from the band and ever
person visiting our city were Of
ten heard to remark: "the people
here sure appreciate good music
and it is a fine thing for IA city Of
WalpetOns size To entertain Wis
itors as we'll as the yown people
with OH Saturday night, and it al
SD helps to bring people to this
city"
The city band was organized
last year. and has proven wor-
thy organization. The band menu
bcrs are young men of this city.
'altli"ueh most Of them have play
ed for several years. The boys
pracliced all this winter and are
low in better shape than ever,
and have lots of new music that
will be a treat to whosover has
the privilege of hearing them.
The band deserves the meri-
ti"us support of the citizens and
Wahpeton citizens should all feel
that il can't do enough in the way
of helping and encouraging the
boys TO better ideals.
!, This year the band has several
new members added to their mem
. bership. and the new members
have proven themselves to- be
worthy acquisitions and we want
to say that if there is any band
players i'm this city or elsewhere
That would like to come up AMI
join in with the boys they will he
lyiven a glad hand right from the
start. The boys all feel that il is
the band they are working for and
by making it a better organization
they in an indirect way help them
selves to become better musicians
Conductor Mar"sIl naturally has
the hardest row of all to travel
and although the boys are giving
him their best support it is also
up to tn" outsiders in help them
as he is not charging the band any
thing for his services as a conduc
tor.

bushels of grain. and expects in
handle over 2O,OOO,O0O before the

mission house i'm the world. Now.
they are starting a campaign t.,
make the Equity Co-operative En- :
change at ST. Paul the IarkgeSt
grain commission house in the
world.
Every Farmer Should Remember:
1. That every car Of grain that
goes to the Equity Co-opcrative
Exchange makes the farmers sell
ing agency that much stronger,
and the grain combine that much
weaker.
:. That the more grain the
Equity Co-operative Exclang.
gets, he more buyers they will
have ON the;" market.
). That the larger he volume
of grain they control. the higher
will he the price that they will be-
able to secure for the farmers
grain.
I. That the Equity Cn-"pera-
tive Exchange is ready at all times
to assist you in every possible
way in organizing elevators.
5. That you get double in
sprctiom at Superior. Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Sales made on
highest inspection.
Z. That They are i'm position 10
execute any order that will con-
stitute a trade al either Superior
or st. Paul.
Z. That shipping instructions
blacks, etc. can be secured by
writing the Equity Co-op"rative
Exchange at St. Paul.
8. That the Equity Coopera-
tive Exchange is able t" and ha,
paid dividends to it's stockholders.
8. That this fight for an hon
est grain market is your fight, and
any effort you ma yput forth on
beholf of your own Exchange will
ultimately result in putting. your
grain market on a much better
footing in the future than it has
been in the past.
