Among Features Of lts
Thrilling Career.

Many would like to take a glimpse
into the future, to see what this old
world, including Grand Forks, would
look like SO years hence. The progress
and development during the last SO
years has been soigreat that one won
ders what the future will bring. The
future being closed one delights in
browsing in the past, and comparing
with present, some idea OF what the
future may bring car probably be ar
rived at.
From a few scattered shacks on the
banks of the Red river in 1871, Grand
Forks has grown into a.thriying city OF
about Is, 900. By the very nature of
things it is not to be expected that the
city will make a similar growth during
the next SO years, but as it has pros
pered in the, past. it will prosper in
the future.
Few Of the remnants Of this; city in
its early history remain, and few of
those who labored and toiled, that
future generations might reap the
benefit OF their efforts, are still here.

The land being unsurveyed when

1874 the original townsite of Grand

= (Associsted@Pres Correspondence.p&
!. London, July 12.APrme Minister
Lloyd George has aroused the ireMof
leading '~churcnnen by telling them
they ought to keep out Of politics..
The occasion was the General As

Fodists at -Portnadoc. Wales, when the
Premier delivered%an address, IN the
course Of which he complained of
public ,utterances by highly placed
divines at church conferences and
elsewhere on questions Of the day
such as Ireland and the Industrial
unrest, which; he asserted, they
were not In the least competent to
discuss" He stigmatizeds theirSobser-

are replete with mischief both2to the
church and to the state s
This indictment. has aroused q
storm Of protest and rebuke among
Mr.eLloyd Georges former. colleagues
in the Free Churches, and resolutions
have been passed at various evangeli-
cal council meetings strongly dis
+, senting from the prime minister's at
titude.
Comment by Glergymen.
~ DR.. John Clifford. the veteran Bap-
Fist leader, asserts that the premier's
doctrine is contrary toshis own, which
ls that the churches should take
such action as to secure the appl-
cation Of the principles of the Gospel
of Christ to the political conditions of
the world"
More outspoken is the Rev. H. J.
Taylor, a Primitive Methodist leader,
who says: 18th premier declares that
the business of the church and his
ministers is to mind their own job
Their job is to demand that the pre-.
mier should .apractice religion in the

the late Dick Fadden was sheriff.

He was considered one Of the coolest.

kthe early days. Throughout the trial
he had joked and laughed uncon

As may be expected, this old builds

at that, for many human tragedies
and comedies were enacted within its

related the episode of John Dickinson.

interrupted one Sunday morning in
her devotions, by her husband, who
