Il NOW STARTED
SColn1nercial Club Organizes

me campaign for two hundred new
Of the Grand Forks CONNER
sclAl8 club was slaunched last night, and
this morning at 10 o'clock cam
seanised with George G. Sherwood,
chairman OF the membership commit
tee, filling the office OF the first gen
Seral In the campaign.
Three captains were selected, as fol
slOws: II. L. Kelly, agent OF n North
serns Pacific; Rev. W.. H Elfring, pas
OF the Congregational church, and
Henry Holt, manager Of h Page
gPrinterie. The three captains each or
sgAnized five teams. A contest has been
planned, lasting three days. and FRI
day night the losing captain will en-
terrain the others at a stunt-fest pro-
gram and dinner at the club roOms.
The time OF the swift campaign is to
secure two hundred new members for
the club, and emphasis Is being laid
upon the patriotic service of the club
In war matters.
This morning the teams were ac-
lively engaged in the membership
campaign from 10 o'clock to noon. At
~ o'clock they were entertained by
the Commercial club at luncheon. By
tomorrow morning, it is expected there
will be more teams in the field and the
contest promises to be one of unusual
interest Rev. w. H. Elfring's teams
are at the present in the lead, though
he was given assurance by MIR. Holt
that he had some work before him for
tomorrow If he continued his place
in the race. Mr.. Kelly's teams have
made up their minds that they are not
going to be called on to furnish the
entertainment on Friday night and are
organizing their forces for a heavy
drive tomorrow and Friday.
The campaign is the direct out
growth of a dinner given last night
when David c.. Adie, representative of
the Minneapolis Civics and Commerce
association, delivered a stirring and
enthusiastically received address re-
plete with practical suggestions.

Two other games are scheduled in
eastern towns which should develop a
lot Of good foot ball. Brown and Syracuse
are to meet at Providence and Rutgers
and West Virginia University at Newark.
Rutgers and West Virginia both have
powerful elevens. as their records easily
show, and against each other ought to
develop about as good foot ball as any
body would care to see. West Virginia
claims a victory over the Navy among
its seasons accomplishments and Rut-
gers last Saturday overwhelmed Ford

ball teams OF the year.
Ohio State is to meet Indiana Univer-
sity at Indianapolis. The game simply
ought to be a question Of how many
points Chick Harley and his Ohio as

played real foot ball.
Lafayette ought not to offer a great
deal Of opposition to Pennsylvania Uni

eleven about as they please-that is. un-
less the Pittsburgh game last week took

RAISE GRADE OF
 LONG TRESTLE

Plans for the 3,OOO-foot trestle across Placer river flats have been changed and the grade of the line on that section raised three feet.
 This change was made following a shift of the stream which ambles back and forth across the flat, that deposit ed an additional three feet of gravel at certain points.
 The section of country between Twenty-Mile river and Mile 45 is one of the most peculiar in atmospheric and geographic conditions in the entire length of the road. Snow stays later, in rains with great intensity, and freak storms are more numerous than at any other point.
 The river itself is study in erosion and natural banking of gravel.
 Permanent construction in this sec ton will probably include higher grades with riprapped bulkheads, to force the water into fixed channels.
