BIG GAME MONDAY.
The Second Team of the Minnesota U. to Play
the A. C. Monday Afternoon.
Probably the best football game of
the season in Fargo will be played at
Broadway Park Monday afternoon be
tween the second team of the Univer
sity of Minnesota and the North Da
kota Agricultural College. There was
some difference regarding the choice of
officials, Coach Williams of the uni
versity team insisting on acting as um
pire, a thing unusual in the ethics of
college athletics. But with Minnesota
it was Coach Williams for umpire or
WASEM&GA
110
game, so the local management gave in.
Dr. Wheeler will probably referee. The
gophers are after revenge for the de
feat sustained by them two years ago,
when they were compelled to return to
Minneapolis with the score
17
to 0
against them. 1
he second team is said
to have scored quite frequently upon
the first team this year and it looks
like the A. C. boys are up against a
hard proposition. The locals are in
fairly good shape with the exception
!«f Rose, whose ankle bothers him con
siderably. The ,A. C. boys expect to
hold the score down low. They have
?iot been scored upon since
1901
and
•have shown up well this'year against
a number of teams. There seems good
reason to believe the boys will give a
good account of themselves and the
y.- surprise will not be great if the Min
nesota boys are sent home a second
time with a defeat to accompany them.
Pn account of the numerous subs that
will accompany the university team and
i£he distance, the expense of the game
will be great. However, it has been de
cided to place the admission fee at

be considerably lighter than their

The Fargo H-igh School football
team with Coach Burd and subs left on
the N. P. this morning for Valley City,
where this afternoon a game is being
played with the normal school team.
The High School is stronger than us
ual this year and will probably put up
a good game. Having defeated Fargo
College the first game of the Season by
a good sized score and then Fergus
Falls and the Grajid Forks High
School team the local boys are feeling
their oats. They have not had a game
for sometime, however, and this may
work to their disadvantage. They are
greatly outweighed by the normal boys,
who recently defeated the University of

Vs
Street Railway Company Wants Until

There Seeitis to Be No Oppositkli
to ^xten^fija CliyCouncll-
An Official Talte,
At the regular meeting of the city
council, on next Monday night, H. C.
Sickler of Wilkesbarre, Pa., a heavy
stockholder and one of the chief pro
moters, and Fred MorjiJl, local attor
ney of the Fargo & Moorhead Street
Railway Co., will appear before the
board and ask for an extension of time
in which to complete the road. In con
ference with Mayor Sweet, yesterday,
they suggested Aug. 1 as the probable
date of the extension proposed.
Th Forum interviewed a number of
members of the city council this morn
ing regarding the proposed extension
of the franchise and there seems to be
little or no opposition to the request.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing one member of the municipal fam
ily said: "I don't see that the city has
anything, to lose by a little generosity
in this matter. The«genthemen who are
at present at the head of the street
car company are acting in good faith
and I am satisfied if they are given
the opportunity that they will go ahead,
and complete and operate the road.
They have displayed the railroad com
pany's receipts for the shipment of sev
en cars of steel rails, which were load
ed on Oc!t.

and they inform us that
eleven more cars are now on the way,
and will reach here a few days after
the first shipment is delivered in this
city.
"Does Fargo want the strefet rail
way? you ask. I see no reason why
every citizen and especially property
owners should not be in favor of it.
Aside from the convenience of the line
as a means of rapid transportation from
one city to the other and from the in
terior to remote and now isolated dis
tricts, it will be a savior and creator of
revenue. The company will pay taxes
on an investment in this city of per
haps
$200,000,
will employ many men
who will find homes and spend their
earnings here, and will save to the city
in the matter of paving from
$100,000.
$60,000
This is an item that has
been overlooked, but which is provided
for in the franchise. If there were oth
er companies looking for a street rail
way franchise in this city the matter of
extending the franchise of the present
company might have a different aspects
But you know and everybody knowsi
that there is no competition in this,
matter, nor is there lijcely to be. I look
at it as a chance for Fargo to enrich
and benefit herself—a chance .to spread
out and grow—and will talk: and vote
for an extension. ..
"Regarding the
$3,000
bonus now in
the hands of the city treasurer I think
it should remain right where it is and
not be declared forfeited until Aug, 1
next. .Fargo does not need this money,
and she does need a street car line.
With the showing the company has
made we could not declare this money
forfeited on November 1. Of course,
the company cannot complete and have
in operation its lines by Dec. 1, and
then, if we cared to pose as the modern
Shylock we could declare it forfeited
and pocket it. But this Shylockian at
titude has been mighty unpopular in
ordinary business transactions and un
der the circumstances I do not think
the city wants the pound of flesh. The
franchise should be extended and the
money Ji.eld as a forfeit fund until Aug
1." pr
