Duls, of this city, president of the North Da kota and Northern Minnesota Imple menLdealers association in session at .Crookston. "Gentlemen:— ''V': It is ,the custom of this associa tion to hiftve an annual address from Its President. Conforming to this custom I have the pleasure to address to you some few remarks bearing on the business in which we are engag ed. In my judgment there is no more important line of business than that of the imprement man and this is es pecially true In the terrotory from which our membership comes. I be lieve there is no class of business men more interested in the progress and commercial welfare as well as the good government of the cities in which they reside than are the implement men. There is not a class of busi ness men more intimately associated northwiest, than the- implement man. There is not a business man who is in closer touch with the agriculture interests in general, than are the class of men who furnish implements with which our soil is tilled and our har vests prepared. This great North western Empire being purely an ag ricultural territory, demands for its extensive farms the very latest and moatup to date machinery and imple ments with which to do the'vast amount of work in a successful man ner. owing to the great quantity of grain annually raised. I say without fear of contradiction, that there is not a class of men who stand as close to the farmer, the' actual producer of the product that makes this vast ter ritory one of commercial world wide Importance, than are the men who sell the plow and the binder with which it is possible to create all these things, and I believe there is no class of men who have so many friends among the farmers, as have the im plement men, generally, and not with out reason. Much valuable advice to ward tilling of the soil and the pro duction of abundant crops, has come from the machine man to the farmer and while perhaps the machine man has made a profit on the goods that he has sold the farmer, has also made a profit on the goods that he has bought and this is one case wheref both sides gain in the transaction. In my experience I have discovered as a general proposition that the charac ter and statements of the implement men can be relied on and perchance where a machine has been sold that did not fulfill the manufacturer war ranty, the farmer found a friend in the implement man and where the conditions were reversed the manu facturer also found a friend in the implement man and therefore I say' you are engaged lif an honorable and important business, one that you may well be proud of. There is no busi ness that gives you a broader or bet ter view of human nature than does the business in which you are en gaged and the numerous friends you have made in the various localities from which you come, are those who have had square deals from yon md who do business with you because they can ^epend upon you and you may well be proud of their friendship and the good words they say for you. The business in which you are en gaged is one -of endless details and means much hard work and I am glad to say that in my experience I have met very few men in the implement business who are lazy or idolent and so far as I am concerned were I obliged to make another choice for future occupation I would again choose the machine ^business. I am ver^r glad that wye have an association here in the northwest, which brings thp implement men of this territory together once a year. We have an opportunity to exchange ideas and an opportunity to get ac quainted with some of our competi tors, we learn something about how business should be done and how it is done, Some of you may think that there is nothing accomplished by an association of this kind but I want to say to you, gentlemen, that in my judgment ten years from-now every Implement dealer in the United States will belong to some kind of an as sociation and I believe the time is coming,..when responsible manufac turers will not recognize an imple ment dealer who does not l^elong to some association and the things that will bring it abopt are strengthening and increasing in membership of the various associations now in the United States. Two weeks ago I-had an opportunity to visit a convention of, thei south western association and while in Kan sas City I found there thousands of implement men. These men are somewhat more familiar with the im portauce and organization of imple ment1 associations than are the deal ers In the northwest and they per haps realise more fully the benefit'of thorough and careful organisation, than we do up ln this country, but -tbe time 1b coming here when the' im portance of tHis organisation will be more fully, appreciated. It may seem that we are not doinir very much good, but wet are. Matters of lmportance tb the trade frequently come up and with an association properly organised, there is some bead itiat can take thia. in charge &nd arrlve at some kind of a settlement that will fee of benefit in ..the future. *i The' past year has been a prosper ous one In our aiModatkm u4 'l lleve .the comlng year will be even morso, it depend* voir largely «i thp: efficiency of your offleers as to what this association eaa tepompliah."/Tba pork that is done mutt be don* jrtth ont fee or reward, keeping in Kind E^:-l iff THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FORKS, N. D. all the time the gpod of the order and I know you will bear In mind the importance of your officers when the selection is made. There are numer ous matters .on which I could speak that will perhaps more properly go in the secretary's report, hence I re frain from mentioning these. I desire at this time to thank the members for the hearty co-operation With the officers for the success of this association. I also wish to thank you most sincerely for the honor you have conferred upon me in having elected me your president. I hope that during the past year the associa tion has gone along to your satisfac tion, I trust at least that it has not gone backward in your estimation. I know that this convention will be a success and when you finally leave for home may you all feel a more frlehdly interest in this association, the organization of which, has been from purely, business motives and to better the conditions of its members and not for the gain of any individual. Gentlemen, I thank you. THE FARMERS' RAILROAD Extension From Starkweather to Hnhsboro Taps Fine Country and New Towns Are Thriving Rapidly. The extension of the Farmers' rail road from Starkweather to Hansboro, which was built last summer, passes through a fine agricultural "country. A number of bran new towns have sprung up with surprising rapidity. The towns of Rock Lake and Hans boro are already good-sized towns, do ing a rushing business. Rock Lake is located close to a lake ranging from a quarter of a mile wide and ten miles long. The lake is large enough to float good-sized steamers in places and the water is clear as spring water. Hansboro is the'terminal town and only about four months old. It is about the liveliest youngster "of a town ataywhere to be found. As you ap proach the town four big elevators loom up like skyscrapers and stand as monuments attesting the fertility of the soil in the vicinity of Hansboro. Before the extension was built, the farmers hauled their grain long dis tances for years and the road is cer tainly a great convenience. Talk about a long felt want and here you have a good sample. The road is cer tainly filling an urgent and pressing want. President Jos. M. Kelly, the promoter of the road, worked long and faithfully to give the farmers between Devils Lake and the boundary line a good road, and he has succeeded ad mirably. The impression, in some quarters, that the road was patterned after the "rocky road to Dublin" is a false impression entirely. It is very doubtful if there is a better built branch along the entire system of the Great Northern that the "Farmers' hranch." The roadbed is smooth and the tired passenger gets a smooth ride almost eqaal to that of the main line of the G. N. Superintendent Lannin accompanies most every train and keeps a sharp eye out for the comfort of passengers and for the general in terests of the patrons of the road. He wears a continual smile on his face, which is a very unusual thing for the superintendent of a railroad to wear. Mr. Lannin has a patent on his pleas ant-looking smile and his employes say that when his "Irish" is up high enough to eat a handcar without cran berry sauce, his expression never changes. The road has done a good business from the start and under the present management is popular. VERY BRIGHT PROSPECT Hotel Man Judge* That This Season Will Be Banner One in Stale His tory—Salesmen Are Early in tlie Field for Business. 0 This morning \V. B. Wood of the Hotel Dacotah was a passenger to Crookston, where he visited the gath ering of implement dealers in session in that city today. While waiting for his train at the Great Northern he dis cussed the outlook for business in North Dakota for the coming year With The Evening Times man. Mr. Wood is widely acquainted over the state and is in personal contact from day to day with the traveling public, especially the commercial travelers, and is well qualified to judge of com ing business conditions. Mr. Wood stated that the hotel' busi ness had never been better. The Da cotah has never done as big a business during the quiet month of January as this year. This is in part due to the several conventions which have gath ered here during the month, but !s mostly due to the fact, that traveling men are getting out earlier than usual this year. All houses are putting their representatives into the field several -weeks in advance of their usual time. Not'only are they getting in shape for a big year's business, but more men are being put into the territory in the north half of the state. This is due in some measure to the big cropB Sfec *\V ty^cl. -. 7-»«» of the past two or three years, but more directly to the wonderful growth of the state. The north half of North Dakota, is growing much more rapidly than most of us realize,'and as the country settles to the west, Grand Forks is bound to grow as the result of iticreiifed business. Mr. Wood ex pects thjrt this will be a year of un surpassed prosperity in northern North Dakota and tluit Grand Forks Wilt grow more this 'summer than ever before in its'history. ^•venter DmL Umdon, Feb. fcord Masham (Bamuel Canllffe-Lister), patentee of nw. inventions, including tto com PWS«ed air brake for railroads and wool qomblng machines, died this morafof at Swlnton Abbey, Masham, Oounty of York.

New York, Feb. 2.—All doubt as to the marriage of Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes to Wilson Mizner was set at rest todq.y ijy the filing of the certi ficate of marriage with the bureau of vital statistics. In addition one newspaper quotes Mrs. Yerkes in confirmation. According to this paper Mrs. Yerkes said today, "All I can say is that I am happly married."

Washington, Feb. 2.—The routine morning business being disposed of the calendar was taken up at a much earlier moment than usual in the sen ate today and the first bill on the calendar being the statehood bill. Consideration of the bill was put over. Mr. McCumber made a brief state ment regarding the substitution for the pure food bill presented yesterday by Mooney. He referred to the news paper statement credited to Mooney to the effect that the pending bill was intended to give power to the chief of the bureau of chemistry of the agri cultural department to hold up foods of the country. Mr. McCumber declared that the bill contained no provision to justify the statement and added that if passed it would only give to the secretary of agriculture authority to examine sus pected articles of food, after which examination he could do nothing more than report to the department of jus tice. Referring to Mr. Mooney's bill Mr. McCumber declared that the bill if passed would "do no more to pre vent misbranding of foods than would a sieve to prevent the flow of water." BOARD OF TRADE. Action Started Against Board of Trade at Duluth by Grain Hen. St. Paul, Feb. 2.—The attorney gen eral of Minnesota today began a suit in the Duluth courts on behalf of the state to annul the corporate existance of the Duluth board of trade under the anti-trust law of 1899. The suit is brought on complaint of the Minne sota Farmer's Exchange which is com posed of Minnesota and North Dakota farmers and which alileges that it has been shut out of the grain market in Duluth. The complaint also sets forth the allegation that by the laws of the Duluth board of trade it is in unlaw ful restraint of 'trade and that the board constitutes an arrangement and conspiracy tending to limit, in terfere with and destroy open and free competition in the purchase and sale of grain and produce in the Duluth market.

Thoreson's Commission Here. The commission of Judge Thoreson for postmaster has been received at East Grand Forks by his relatives and will be held there until next Sunday when the judge will come over and fix up all the formalities required. The judge has had the office before and will undoubtedly make a success of his new job. The position is likely to be a life one as the president is in favor of a ruling that makes all com petent postmasters keep their jobs and if the ruling goes through the job will be for life. Invitation is Stolen. Washington, Feb. 1.—Secretary Loeb said today that he knew noth ing of the report from Cincinnati that an invitation to the wedding of Miss Roosevelt, sent to William C.

MEANS SAVING OF $5,000 Company Sued the City for Pay for Curbstone But Are Defeated in Two Courts. THE CASE IS OF LONG STANDING Thin Wn One of (fee Moat Complicated •.hwmiM* the city Waa Kirr Involved In. One of the most complicated and long standing cases the city of Bast Grand Forks was ever involved in was brought to a sudden close this morning by a letter from the clerk of the supreme court of Minnesota announcing that the motion of the attorneys for the Kettle River Quar ries company, in the case of that com pany plaintiff, and the city of East Grand Forks defendant, for a rehear ing was denied, and that the decision would have to stand as it was. The case was one of the most com plicated the city was ever involved in and the verdict means a saving of between $4,800 and $5,000 for the city. It was started over a year ago and was first tried in the district court before Judge Watts. After careful consideration the judge decided that the city was not liable for the costs of the curbstone and was not com pelled to pay them. The attorneys for the Quarries company then ap pealed the case to the supreme court of Minnesota and that court upheld Judge Watts in his decision also de ciding that the city was not liable for the cost of the curbstone. The at torneys for the Quarry company then decided to try for a rehearing and presented their views of the case be fore the supreme court. The decis ion received this morning was the court's final one on the case and the city is about 95,000 ahead as a result The attorneys for the city Massee and Finlayson, and A. A. Miller of Crookston deserve especial credit for the very able manner in which they upheld the city in their side of the case and such, a complete victory over such distinguished attorneys as Ed win S. Slater and Willard R. Cray of St. Paul, who appeared for the plain tiff in the action is a signal one. Entertained His Friends. Last evening M. A.
