STREET CAR
Dentist Driving Car Fails to
See Street Car While
Avoiding a Truck.

Last evening about S O'Clock DR..
M. NJ. Lockerby. who was passing. in
the vicinity of the Baptist church on
Fifth street. in an attempt to avoid
a delivery truck, which was rounding
the corner. failed to see the street
with It.. y
In giving an account Of the acct
dent, DR.. Lockerby said the blame
should be placed on himself entirely.
The side curtains prevented him from
seeing the street car. The conductor
of the street a later said that when
he noticed the auto slowing down he
thought it was because of the street
car. but the doctor said he slackened
up to give the truck driver a chance
to pass.
The auto. which is an old model
Cadillac, was pretty well demolished.
The radiator and lights are smashed
and a knuckle was knocked out Of
the steering gear.
The doctor was not hurt but on
lockers said 1t was a miracle he es-
capped and that IL he had not slowed
up he might have been seriously in
jured.

FUTURE OF OLD:
LAND OF JEWISH
PEOPLE DISCUSSED

In the address of Rabbi c. D. Matt
of Minneapolis, given at the city hall
last evening under the auspices Of the
local branch of the Zionist organiza-
ton of America. it was said that Pal
estine, If turned over entirely to the
Jewish race, could be made n of the
most important cultural centers of
the world"
Rabbi Matt also said that If the
sciences, genius and arts for which
the Jews in many, lands have been
noted, could be nationalized it would
mean much more for them. He
named several musicians. who are
Jews but who. because of their study
are known as Russians. English or
American. and thus the Jew loses
some Of his highest ideals.
The re-settlement of Palestine in
such a way as to establish cultural
centers would do considerable prac-
teal good, he thought. With assist
ance from the United States govern
ment a Jewish agriculturist has be-
gun the cultivation of wheat and now
that is being grown extensively In
what was formerly a veritable desert.
Prof. Hugh E. Willis of the univer-
sity addressed the audience on The
Golden Age Of the Jew" in which he
attributed the progress Of the race
to the difficult struggles it has had
to suffer and to endure for centuries.

GRAND FORKS
SKI JUMPERS
WILL ATTEND
Several Devotees of North
ern Sport Going to
Winnipeg.

h Norwegian club Of this city has
been invited to send representatives
to the ski tournament scheduled to
be held at Winnipeg February 15. The
invitation came to this city as some-
thing of a surprise since the latest
previous information from the Mani
toba city was to the effect that the
ski slide there had been demolished
during a storm. The ski committee
of the Norwegian club received the
invitation today.
1t appears, however. that the Win
nipeg board of trade has appropriate
ed $1,000 for the restoration Of the
slide, and that this work is so well
under way that the tournament can
be held. Part Of the money appro-
priated at Winnipeg will be used to
defray the travelling expenses of out
of-town participants.
Although the Norwegian club of
Grand Forks has not yet acted OIL
cially upon the invitation, several
members and others who have gained
the reputation of good ski jumpers,
have signified their intention to go
to Winnipeg to take part in what may
be the greatest tournament of the
season. Those who may go, are
Henry Holt, Oscar Knudsen (who
last Sunday won the first prize at
the Grand Forks tournament), Roy
Anderson, o. Hoff, Hedge Krogsrud
n Thelmar Evanson-a youth of
whom the local ski contingent is very
proud.
1t is understood here that the Win
nipeg ski tournament will be ar
ranged in conjunction with the bon
spiel and other winter sport meets
now being DreDared.
