In an old Fargo Argus Of August.
1884, we read the following: &
! Mr.. Gray came to Valley City from
iColdwater, Mich, in the fall Of 1879
lin company with D. N. Green and
lothers, and located Ion land about
lseyen miles southwest Of town at
what is now known as Gragreen. He
returned to Michigan that winter,
married, and returned in the spring
with quite colony Of Michiganders.
i5Since that time his farm has been a
lrich producer, and although Mr.. Gray.
docs not now follow the pillow he has.
maintained his agricultural interests,
from which he derives neat annual
income. sss a,t
In 1884 Mr.. Cray became manager
of the Gull River Lumber cornpany's,
interests at Valley City, and in con-
nection opened an extensive farm MAJ:
chinery depot. Being pushing, en-
ergetic fellow, he has done large an
nual business in both lines, and the ac-
cretionss therefrom have made him
one Of the solid men Of the city. He
has served the city creditably as ma
yor and his ward AS q member Of the
city council. Pictures OF Mr.. Gray's
handsome residence and business
block are also shown, both Of which
are certainly creditable to the public
spirited man who built them.
E. H. Briggs hash t been in any reg.

of Henry Ford's tin lizzies and at last
accounts was suffering from severe
attack of shell shock as consequence
He was blowing up . tire, wheh said
tire exploded and Mr. Briggs waa.
struck on the thigh bone to such an
extent that he is laid up for several
days. He received rather ugly wound
from this accident and required the
services Of DR.. PrayFto patch him up.
Z He will be laid as for some days
which is a hard job for one like Briggs
who wants to be up and doing all the
time. However, we are pleased that
he is no worse and hope to see the old
scout back the job soon.

BOAT DRILL HELPS

on Board the U. $! 5. George Wash ington, Tuesday February 1S.-tBy Wireless to the Associated Press.) The only incident today in President Wilson's homeward trip was boat lrill the first thus far on the voyage. Twenty-two hundred regular army ea- sineers piled on deck and took their stations as the bugle sounded and then abandoned ship"
 The drill was no novelty to the President. he having taken part in one on the trip to Europe. President Will son was breakfasting as the signal was given. With Mrs. Wilson he left the table and took his place at the boat to which he had been assigned. They watched the troops lining the deck and then returned to breakfast. The warm, semi-tropical day was spoiled by rain and winds which came on in the afternoon. driving many from the decks.
 The President remained in his suite most of the day and evening, working at intervals It has been decided that he shall make only one speech on land- ing-that at Boston--and orders have been issued that arrangements be made for his departure for Washington i'm medlately after delivery of this ad- dress, foregoing all other ceremonies. He wishes to waste no time in getting back to the capital so that he can be come conversant with congressional business before the closing hours Of the session and confer with the mem. bers of the foreign committees of both houses.
 With regard to the league of nations, there seems to be no doubt that the President will make a report to Con gress in the form of address and also that he will make use of the op- portunity to say good-by to many of the members who are returning to pri- vate life. It is believed he will make some expression of appreciation for the support rendered in the war by the Congress now retiring. These lat nite form.

REALTORS GUESTS
 OF CIVITANS TODAY
Jerome Tucker Will Speak on Real
 Estate at Luncheon

pr. "Co-operation'' Shropshire, as Civi- tans have dubbed their proxy, is going to follow his valentine party, which he admits was the biggest success of any luncheon the club has ever fostered. with a real dirty deal for the mem bership today when Jerome Tucker, a Civitan- -Realtor, will tell the club at it's regular luncheon just how to sell the earth, how much it is worth and how he arrives at all of these conclusions.
 Dr. Shropshire stated last night that he was not responsible for any ducks that Civitan Jones may take, or does he guarantee the oratorical estate of this speaker to be real, in fact Dr. Shrop- shire intimated that it might be in several reels. Mir. Tucker is going to tell why real estate is dirt cheap though, why it is spread out so much, away from the city limits, and no doubt some of the instances that he cites will hold water.
 Every Civitan is commanded to bring dirt peddler with him to the luncheon today, and therefore Dean Houston of the cooking end of the Southern club has arranged great gobs of food that will be camouflaged with the usual trim- mings.
 The luncheon will be held at the South- ern club at 1 o'clock.
