FARGO NEAR
A MILLION
Secretary Phelps of Fargo Commercial
Club Secures Interesting Railroad
Figures on Fargo Business. y*
Aggregate Railroad Business at Fargo
Is Shown to Exceed That of
Qrand Fonts.
A clay or two after President HiliV.
spcech, before tKe Irrigation Congress
at Bismarck, The Grand Forks Herald
printed the following editorial note:
The Great Northern business at
Grand Forks is one-fourth that at Min
neapolis, and double that at Fargo.
This is from the little red book of
President Hill, who ought to know."
The facts stated set Secretary Phelps
of the Commercial Club of Fargo won
dering how Fargo really stood in com
parison, and he set to work to obtain
reliable figures of Fargo's business over
the railroads. The figures have readied
Mr. Phelps and they show that the ag
gregate railroad business at Fargo, "for
the period covered by President Hill
presumably to the end of the railroads'
last fiscal year, was very close to $i,
cco.oco—the actual figures being $941.
000 against
$781,000
at Grand Forks for
the same period, tlie aggregate over all
roads, showing an excess of $160,000 in
favor of Fargo.
T'ue figures. received by Mr. Phelps
arc from the most reliable sources and
in detail are as follows:
BUSINESS FARGO.
Great Northern .............
.$271,ccc
Milwaukee. 144,00c
Northern Pacific 525,00c
Total .. .. ...$941 oco
BUSINESS AT GRAND FORKS.
Crcat Northern $595,000
NorMi$rn Pacific 186,000
Total $781,000.
It will be noticed that the N. P. busi
ness in Fargo is nearly equal to that o'
the G. N. at Grand Forks. Railroad
men here in Fargo incline to the belie."
that tne total for Fargo at the close of
the next fiscal period will soar above*
the million mark.

SOME BIG GAMES IN SIGHT.
Ai' jtm «o4 li. Sec«n I Team Monday—Fanro
College and R. R. V. U. Saturday.
The Fargo football cranks will have
an opportunity to sec a good game
Monday afternoon. The Minnesota
University second team will arrive Sun
day, twenty strong, to wipe out the de
feat of two years ago at the h&nds of
the farmers. The team will be composed
'of the very best that can be sent oiitside
of the regular 'varsity team.
Time and time again the Minneapolis
papers have stated that the second team
scored on the first team. If the A. C.
can make an even showing or defeat the
second team it will indicate that the
"farmers" would be able to score on the
first team should the opportunity ever
offer itself
The fans have cried for even games
and it looks like they will be fully satis
fied in Monday's contest. In fact the
Minnesota U second bunch is such a
strong one that it looks as if the "farm
ers" have gone out of their class, but
the boys are determined to make a good
showing. The visitors are viry heavy
and also include speedy players.
The A. C. is at a great expense to
get the team here as they play only one
point in the state and the "farmers"
have to stand the. entire expense. Fargo
people will do doubt appreciate the con
ditions and the effort to put tip good
games, by turning out in large numbers.
The contest will undoubtedly be the best
of the season. Minneapolis sporting
writers assert the Minnesota sefcond
team can defeat Iowa, Bcjoit, Grinnell
and Ames.
1 v
I7, c. and Rr *RrV. U SATURDAY.1
The Fargo College will have a game
on the local grounds Saturday with the
Red River Valley U. The Wahpeton
boys should make an even contest with
the locals and the game Saturday will
be a warm one. Fargo College is im
proving in every game and the boys
will be in good condition for Saturday's
game.
One matter of interest will be in the
fact that Coach Ewing of the Fargo
College and Coach Zalusky of Wahpe
ton were members of the Knox College
team at the same time and the methods
of play of the two institutions will be
somewhat similar. There is considerable
rivalry between the coaches, each of
whom hopes his team will wiil.
A, C. MAY PLAY S. V:
The South Dakota University team
may play the North Dakota University a
week from Monday, Nov. 9. If the
South Dakotans do come into this ter
ritory it is probable that the A. C. will
play them about Nov. 12. Nothing
definite has been dccided in regard to
the matter. The big game with Minne
sota second team Monday will be all the
A. C. will want during the coming
week, and they will not play the S. D.
U. unless a date can be arranged ipr aU
Kaait'.'h 'irtek later.
THE N D. U. TEAM.
Fargo College defeated the Valley City
Normal 10 to 6. The North Dakota
University defeated the Valley City
boys 16 to 11, which on the scale of com
parative scores would seem to indicate
the Fargo College team is about as
strong or stronger than the N. D. U.
1 he sowing of the university in yester
day's contest would seem to indicate
that the A. C. has little to regret ovejr
the failure of the teams to- get together
this year as the: score would have been
too one-sided to have been interesting.
The N. D. U. has withdrawn from
the northwestern conference of which the
S. D. U. is a member and the game be-*
tween the two institutions will have tot
he played either by a special agreement^
or under Northwestern conference fitlcs,
The N. D. U. refused to play the agri^
cultural college under similar conditions?
BETTER SPIRIT NEEDED
The members of the different team*
in Fargo arc developing a system tha£
will injure the game in Fargo. When
the A. C. plays an outside team members
of the Fargo College and the high school
teams root for the visitors. When Fargo
College is opposed to an outside aggre
gation, the A. C. and .the highs yell foir
the other fellows. This is not develop
inga proper spirit. It is all right for the
boys to have local rivalry, but wheji
a visiting team is h*re there should be
an all-Fargo sentiment that should rise
above local prejudices and the members
of the two teams not playing, should en
courage tlie local team that is playing
an outside aggregation.
WILL 'ititlSTRA.TE THE GAME?
The long-distance department of the
Northwestern Telephone Co. has per
fected arrangements with the Fargo Of
fice, by which the big Michigin-Minnp
sota game will be given in fac-simile |s
the game proceeds, by means of a bs|ll
and diagram on the big window, of the
Broadway cigar store, next Saturday
afternoon. The enterprise will surely
be appreciated by the enthusiasts wfeo
are unable to go and see the game.

V. C. NORMAL u, N. D. U. 16.
To The Fontm: A hard fought ganpc
of football was played in Grand Ivories
yesterday afternoon between the' urii-^
splendid crowd of impartial spectators
saw the struggle which was closely
contested throughout.
(tnl^hntn t*fAur/1 iL

The game was called at 3:45 pi nj.'
the hoffnals kicking off to the univer
sity fifteen-yard line. By hard
bucking the university carried the:
to the normal thirty-five-yard line, to th«
•CHUM
MEfN'S AN6 Bi
Haggarty secured the ball, carryiAg 'ifli
eighty yards for the first toncf^wWn,.
It was called back, however, ott & felos*
decision by the referee. Soon after the., not to divTuge until further inquiry'
university pushed the ball over the line' be made.
^tpor tlie first touchdown for the U. It
•was converted into a goal-r-jScore 6 to
^o. Inside of five minutes after resum
ing play, Haggerty, behind splendid in
terference, carried the ball for another
sixty-yard run, and placed it safely be
lling the goal posts. The goal was
kicked—score 6 to 6. Upon resuming
the play the university made the next
•touchdotvn by incessant line bucking,
but failed to kick the goal—score u to
6. It was the university's kick-off to
the normal. The pl^y was fast and fur
ious for a few minutes but the U. could
not withstand the rushes of the normal:
when finally, Lang, right h^li back, in
a brilliant left end run, behind faultless
interference, placed the pig ikin
squarely between the goaf pOsts, Tjut
failed to kick goal—score ii to ii at the
end of the first half.
In the second half it was seen-that
the university put in several new play
ers Wl}i*lVittfaterially' strengthened their
line-iip. Aft^r continuous strugglev-up
and down 4he. grj.djron, the university
down, but failed Jo kick goal The
game ended with the ball in the pos
session of the nortiial team*ou the-juni
versity forty-yard tine and making rap
id gains by their line plunges.
The defensive work of both teams
was somewhat ragged. The' U. de
pended upon its line plunges for its'
gains while the normals ma4c most of
their gains around the ends.-
The general work of the normals was,
far above tfte average and surprised
both their supporters and opponents.
Sufficient praise cannot be given to
Coach Haggerty for the excellent
work and improvement he has wrought
by his efficient coaching upon the nor
mal team.

Stanley at Park River he registered

registered as R. E. Townsend. In all
of these cities', as well as at Grafton

resented
to be a ttiveling

bills, which usually amounted to two

days, he tendered a cheek for
catine' bank and signed by the firni
name of W. F. and John Barnes Co.,
F. R. Barnes, treasurer., On all of the
checks that have come to light there
were changes, in the initials of the treas

same.
In Grand Forks Mr. Somes tendered
the check after remaining at j& hotel

cash it. Somes did not seem to be
greatly put out over his refusal and
