GATE SERVICE
ISSUE Will Be
GIVEN HEARING
Great Northern Officers
Will Come to Fargo to
Consider Problem

The matter of better gate service
at the Great Northern tracks al
Fourth street, Broadway. and Sew
enth and Eighth streets north will
be discussed with officials of the
Great Northern Railway company
after the first OF the year. it was
announced at the regular meeting
Of the city commission this morn
ing.
N. L. Greer, agent in Fargo, ap-
peared before the commission in an
swer to a letter from the city audi
tor, and said that he would have
the proper officials meet with the
commission at as early date as
possible
Complaint of the service was
made to the commission by o. M.
Strate, commissioner of streets, two
weeks ago, when he reported that
the gates were lowered for unusually
long periods, many times without
need, blocking the traffic.
The request for gates over Thir-
teenth street north, which reached
the commission some time ago, was
not discussed this morning, but it is
very likely the matter will be taken
up with the railway officials while
here. Thirteenth street has been one
of the heavily travelled streets on
both sides since the completion of the
paving.

orc hierarchy may see fit to take.
Billy Sunday, when he urged Cath
olics as well as Protestants to lead bet
ter lives, directly instructed them to so
TO their own churches. He did not in
any way even suggest that they take
up membership in Protestant churches.
And no effort will be made by thse
who are carrying out his work to prose
lyte from the Catholic church.
Same With EpiscOpalians.
The same procedure, as TO distribu-
ton OF cards, will be followed in the
case Of the Episcopalians, even though
that sect took no active part, as a
whole, in helping Billy Sunday along
few Episcopalian ministers as indi
viduals aided him.
The Jewish card signers will be re
ferred TO their rabbis. No effort will
be made to induce them to leave Their
ancient faith.
