Officials of Tri-State and
Northwestern Com

MATTER TO BE
~. SOON SETTLED
Development in Minnesota
Awaited with Consider
able Interest.

a meeting of the telephone COM
Mlttee of the city council with Off
Gals of the Tri-State and the North
western Telephone Exchange com
panles was held this morning in the
offices of City Attorney George a.
bangs, and at the conclusion of the
conference it was expressed as the
c~oncensus of all present that physi-
cal connection of the local telephone
systems would be a matter Of merely
few weeks. To some extent,
definite arrangements would be con-
tingent upon developments in the
telephone consolidation projects in
Minnesota, as we'll as upon the
promptitude with which the neces-
sary equipment could be perfected.
Those who took part in the confer
president of the Tri-State company;
Guy Fl. Pratt, general commercial
superintendent and l.. Is. Wilson, as
sistant secretary and commercial SUI
perlntendent of the Northwestern
company: w. S. Whitman, chairman
OF the telephone committee, and
Louis kleven, .. Young and City At
torney Geo. A. Bangs, members of
that committee.
Methods Suggested Here.
When Chairman Whitman of the
Telephone committee wrote to the
presidents OF the two telephone ex-
changes suggesting that they send
representatives to confer with the
committee in an effort to eliminate a
dupIcation of service with the incon-
~vcnience. and annoyance and expense
attendant thereon in this city he had
little thought that he was furnishing
a precedent for the action of the Min
nesota State Railway commission and
that that commission would, in a
larger field. follow the lead of our
local council committee.
And yet such seems to be the case
for on March 2, 1915, Mr.. Whitman
wrote to G. L. Yost of Omaha. presi-
dent of the Northwestern Telephone
Exchange company, and to Mr.. Rob-
inson of Minneapolis, president of the
Iri-State company, among other
things saying:
"For the last eight or ten months
u telephone committee has been n
gagged in an effort to bring the two
telephone exchanges into closer rela-
tons: the uniform courtesy of the
different officials with whom we have
come in contact encourages us to
hope for a favorable reception of the
proposal we make herein, which Is:
will o appoint a representative
for your company. with full authority
to act. for the purpose of meeting
this committee, at Grand Forks. hav-
ing in view the immediate, complete
unitication of the W competing tele-
phone exchanges in Grand Forks so
that u people will have one local

change. the toll business both inter

arate and competing"

indians come into town every Satur-
day morning with bright-c0lored bas-
ketS and beaded moccaSins. They make
these things and they make beaded
bags and purses and little ornaments.
They drive oxen instead of horses
and the oxen move so slowly as if thew
got anywhere at all!
"1he Indian women. or squavs as
they are called, carry large baskets IN
on their heads in which are the things
they have to sell. smaller baskets,
purses and moccaslns.
Sometimes, too, they bring into the
town flowers in the summer and in the
autumn red berries-for they have n
little village of their own out in tho
country. They are not Wild at All and
they would not dream of hurting any
one.
cone day a little girl named Olive
was sitting in her room reading when
she heard the door bell ring. She went
downstairs and there was little In
