new NOTORIOUS
SERVICE TO BE
GIVEN COUNTY
Vehicle to Run Between
Northwood and Grand
Forks Twice Daily.

A new motor bus route, giving the
same service to Grand Forks mer-
chants as an additional railway line
between the points served, will be put
into operation as soon as the weather
permits, it was announced today.
Harvey Hoolahan, well known Lar
imore auto livery man, will run a bus
from Northwood to Grand Forks and
from Grand Forks to Warren. He has
just purchased a REQ Speed wagon
and is having a special body manu-
featured for it. The bus will be ready
for operation within a week or two.
Mr.. Hoolahan plans to run the bus
from Northwood to Grand Forks each
morning, reaching here. about 10
o'clock. Shortly after he will leave
for Warren, Mimi, and will return
to Grand Forks about 3 or 4 o'clock
remaining here until S O'Clock, when
he will eturn to Northwood.
This will give residents and farme,a
along the route to Northwood ample
time in Grand Forks for shopping.
Instead of reaching here at noon and
returning at 3 o'clock, they will arrive
in the city at 10 o'clock and have I'M
til 5 o'clock to. attend to shopping and
business matters.
There is no doubt that this new
service will prove successful, for tho
bus from Crookston. which operated
throughout the summer and up to
February l, proved that such a motor
vehicle could be run on schedule and
do q big business.

ALLEGED CHECK
ARTIST CAUGHT
J. M. cGuire, Known as ]
M. Casey, Apprehended in
Grand Forks.

An exhaustive search, conducted
since the fourth of March, by Sheriff
c. G. Stewards staff, together with the
city police officials, and special detec-
tives in Minneapolis, resulted in the
apprehension Friday night of j. M.
Mcclure, alias J. M. Casey, wanted on
u charge of forgery.
Gordon Stephenson, assistant CASH
Ter of the Farmers Bank of Emerald,
where Mcguire deposited a check for
$500.50 signed by E. X. Forman, and
Minneapolis, came to Grand Forks
this morning and identified the man
as Casey.
Mcclure, who lives in Grand Forks,
claims to have been a marine during
the World war, and claimed to have
sold his bonus for $50O.50 to E. X.
Forman. After depositing this check
he went around and introduced him
self to Mr.. Emery, on whose farm
near Emcrado he said he worked in
1915. Later he went back to the bank
and drew out s17O, claiming that he
was going to Hillsboro to buy an auto
mobile. Mcclure, representing him
self as j. NJ. Casey, made this deposit
on March third, but the forgery was
not discovered until March fourth.
1t appears that MCGUIRE was in a
hospital in Minneapolis, where he be-
came known to the son of E. F. For
man, whose name he is said to have
forged to the five hundred dollar
check. To patients of the hospital,
from some of whom he secured mon
ey at various times, he was known
also as Lawrence, and Conway.
With h assistance of the police
and special detectives of Minneapolis
it was learned that the man Mcclure
had a long prison record there.
Evidently believing that he would
be safer in his own community than
elsewhere, Mcclure returned to Grand
Forks recently, while officials were
securing the northwest for Casey"
Circumstances arising within the
last few days brought the center OF
the search to Grand Forks, and Nc.
CURE was recognized and taken into
custody on Friday evening by Deputy
Sheriff Odin overly. He was. placed
in the county Jail, where he was
identified this morning by Mr.. Steph.

For lOWa; Will
Get Man Wanted

Deputy Sheriff odin OVERLY left on
Friday night for Anderson, Iowa, to
bring to Grand Forks Lee Stton, who
is wanted on a charge Of cruelty to
animals, by neglecting live stock.
The information against Stton was
filed by George w. flaming, who en-
gagged Sitton t. look after some 80

ANCER OF
A BIG FLOOD,
SAYS ENGINEER
Less Snow in Red River Val
ley Than in Former Years,
Says Report.

With the recent mild weather and
the resulting thaw, the GUS
tomary speculation of the prospects
of a flood. The small boy is waiting
for high water" but the property
owners residing near the river are
hoping that the gradual thaw will
eliminate the danger from a serious
flood. z
Herbert A. Hard, state flood con-
troll engineer of North Dakota, locat-
ed in Fargo. came forward today with
the reassuring statement hat there is
not much prospect of a big flood in
the Red river valley this spring. Ac-
cording to the statement. the win
ter's snow in the Red river valley
is below normal, in spite Of the de-
ceptive high drifts. The snow fell in
large quantities and made people UNI
necessarily meas concerning flood
conditions. The snow in the central
valley amounts to but LA inches Of
liquid water, while the rainfall aver
age for 80 years past during the same
period is IL inches, hence it is one
half inch short of average. h snow
blanket is generally light over the
Red, Cheyenne and James river val
leys and heavy over the Missouri and
upper Mississippi valleys.
However the past records show
that floods depend almost entirely up
on the amount of snow left on the
ground after March Is. and also upon
how fast it melts. Thus there still is
ample time for enough precipitation
to produce flood conditions by March
25 to April S, the usual start for the
spring run.
The question of q food is given
through the word just received from
the war department relative to Min
nesota reservoirs and the Missouri
valley where the snow depths are
greater than in the Red river valley.
Not all Dakotans know that water
control and power dams are already
constructed on the upper Mississippi.
Their presence requires careful hand
ling in springs of heavy run-off lest
they aggregate rather than prevent
floods. The war department has just
ordered all Minnesota reservoirs
emptied, or SO nearly so as not to pre-
vent their catching the heavy run
which follows the warm weather. If
protective reservoirs are caught full
of water when a new flood comes,
they fail to protect and may cause
damage.
At ,the same time comes urgent
warning from the U. S. Department
of Agriculture (Weather Bureau) to
residents of the Missouri valley to re-
move all stock and property from the
valley in anticipation Of the heavy
run-off soon to follow the melting Of
the big snow blanket over the basin.
State Flood Engineer Hard has
21 stream-gaging stations over the
state where daily river heights are
recorded by a local assistant n sent
to the Fargo office. If the conditions
are threatening, they are t~elegraphed
in. Thus Hood prospects, ice and
snow depths by actual measurement
are readily told by being in touch
