general harvest next week, it was said
today. Some of the wheat in the vi
cinity Of Northwood is showing rust,
It is said, but no serious. results are
expected from this and the fields
generally are thought to be In fine
condition.
The cutting Of barley, oats and rye
has been in progress for the last

CITY WILDE
CAlWASSED FOR
HOUSING
Solicitation Of Subscriptions
Begun by Committee
This Afternoon.

A general canvass Of the city in the
interests Of the o. A.. Webster hous
ing plan is being launched by the
board OF directors and advisory COM
mittee Of the Grand Forks CONNER
cial club.
Subscriptions are being received for
stock In the proposed company which
will be formed to put the plan, into
operation If the necessary support is
forthcoming.
Grand Forks citizens are being ask
ed to subscribe for any amount Of
stock from one share up. Each
share is valued at $50 and Is to be
paid for on the installment plan at
the rate of 81 per month.
1t Is expected that the amount paid
into the treasury each month by this
method will be sufficient for the erec-
ton of one house.
Planned This Morning.
Plans for the general canvass, were
made this morning at a meeting Of q
Moore, president Of the Commercial
club to push the housing plan. The
committee consists Of J. A. Dinnie, G.
L. ireland and o. j. Barnes. ~
It was decided that the subscrip-
ton solicitation could be done to the
best advantage by directors and mem
beers Of the advisory board of the
club, as these men are more familiar
with the details of the project than
are the majority Of the citizens.
Several Of the members began
work this afternoon. and others will
start in within the mex day or so it IL
expected. If the plan meets with the
support which is expected 1t is be.
lieved that it may be possible to have
houses actually under construction
within the next six weeks.
