Department of Commerce At the Uni
versity Gets Valuable Apparatus.
The commercial department is in re
ceipt of, a large collection of lantern
slides. It was from the department
of forest service at Washington. It
contains fifty slides, scenes of the
great 'forest reserves, and the 'work
that is being: done, both in the mar
keting of timber and in the preserva
tion and extension of the forest re
gions. These views will be1 shown in
connection with the regular class
work, after which a public exhibition
will be given.
The public is beginning to realize'
the necessity of preserving the forests.
A great deal of tree-planting is now
being done. It has been estimated
that in 1894 there •#as timber enough
destroyed by fire to pay the entire na
tional debt Fir^ patrols have now
been stationed at different points.
And- it has been made a penal crime
to start afire which' cannot be well

The report that the city attorney
would present air opinion to the city

is denied this morning at the office of
the attorney. An opinion is being pre
pared,
like all other legal mat-
tero investigated, the trend of the
authorities would indicate a certain
conclusion, but .no ctpinlQn can be
rendered until the entire question is
fully examined.

6. Jf. Train Derailed\at Moerfeead
Bnnday—Sleeper Nearly Turned
Over and Passengers Badly Shak
en Up.
Yesterday morning train No. 9 was
wrecked two miles south of Comstock,
a small station just below Moorhead.
The manner in which the accident oc
curred is not known, it is supposed,
however, that the snow and Ice froze
onto .die track 'in such a manner that
the flanges could not penetrate it and
the derailment .resulted.) Either this
or a.spreading'of the rails.
In any event the train was brought
to a dead stop in the midst of adrift
of snow and when an investigation
was made, it was discovered that the
entire train was derailed. Some of
,the passengers were badly shaken up,,
but none seriously injured.
The drift of snow in which the ac
cident happened broke the jar of the
derailment and lessened the danger of
injury. Nbpe of the cars toppled over
although the rear sleeper came very
near going over, slanting very badly.
The equipment of train No. 13 was
sent to the scene of the wreck and the
passengers brought to 'Fargo where
they were cared for until theN track
was cleared. Most of the cars were
easily put back on the track but some
of them proved refractory and caused
delay.-
Tfie train was rehabitated at Fargo
and reached this city at 9:30 last even
ing,. being thirteen hours and forty
five minutes late. iv
CALLED TO WASHINGTON.
0, A. Sub-
Thompson of Edgeley
Station Becognised.
O. A. Thompson, superintendent of
the Edgeley sub-station, and an A. C.
graduate in 1901, has been called to
Washington to study new methods of
agricultural science in connection with
the department ^of agriculture. The
call is pursuant to the annual prac
tice of the department in calling some
of the best and most deserving men
from the field to Washington for the
.purpose of better equipping for their
work with a practical knowledge of
new methods.
'Mr. Thompson has had considerable
experience. in his work. He was at
one time teamster at the college doing
field work. He took an active interest
in his work and later became herds
man in the cattle, sheep and swine
barns and later was promoted to
herdsman in the horse barn. He took
up the college course at the instltu
tion and while pursuing his studies
did wprk in „the creamery. Outside
of hirwork on the college farm, Mr.
Thompson spent some time as herds
man for Thos. H. Canfield of Lake
Park, Minn.
Mr. Thompson has been three years
at Edgeley and in that time has ac
complished some excellent work at the
station in the dry land belt. The past
season his durum wheat yielded 43.1
bushels to the acre, fife 29.4, blue stem
30.6, one variety of oats went 91.2, and
four others yielded over 90, flax 24.5.
Mr. Thompson has set out a 5-acre
plantation with apples and pluns
which are in excellent condition and
have small fruit coming on. These
results have a striking significance for
the district at Edgeley and reflect
much credit upon Mr. Thompson. The
recognition of his work by the depart
ment of agriculture is no small com
pliment and is a just reward for his
excellent efforts.—Agricultural Col
lege Notes in Fargo Forum.
.... A
Port of Tientsin.
Tientsin, which became a treaty
port in 1860, and no,w includes a num
ber of foreign settlements, or concus
sions, stands second among China's
treaty ports in toe gross value of its
tradevand in the amount of customs
revenue. Special Agent Crist, of the
department of. commerce and labor,
says that in respect to American
goods it is a rival of Shanghai for
first place* the great bulk of textiles
from this country being destined for
the northern part of China and- going
through this port NThe United States
is the only one of the great powers
Administrative control goes with
Imving, no settlement in Tientsin,
these concessions. Great Britain now
controls 1,000 acres. Japan 278 acres.
France 230 acres and Germany 172
acres. Germany also has an option
on a desirable strip of rlyer bank
property. After the' siege of Tientsin,
Russia, Belgium, Austria-Hungary
and Italy occupied territory, and all
of these acts of sovereignty were ratl
fled'by China. Other imtions evident
ly-consider these concessions impor
tant, but Mr. Crist' says that, as no
special .restrictions are placed upon
the American merchants doing-busi
ness In the foreign settlements there
$rould' be little advantage in a con
cession administered by American au
thority.
During the recent toycott the good
will of the officials was of great value
to exporters to North China. Not pnly
is the ,.viceroy in charge of the prov
ince friendly to America, but most of
his advisers were 'educated in this
country. The gross value of Tient
sin's trade/has doubled In.'fifteen
years.* T)ie official figures represent
ing the -'tiompierce for 1905 are' ex-,
pected to. be the largest recorded.
The territory tributary to Tientsin'
covers 600,000 square miles hnd ^as
population of 177^000,000. It is be
lieve^ that tile difficulties incident to
demoralized conditions following the
Boxer tfprising have been overcome
and that the next few years will be'
very prosperous ones.

NEW LEAGUE WILL
BE ORGANIZED
ATDULUTH
Meeting of Board of Control
Favors^Copper Country
Price forPresident.
lSpeclal to The Evening Times.]
Duluth, Feb. 5.—The members-of the
board of control of the Northern Base
ball league assembled here this morn
ing and while no formal meeting was
called to order until 3 o'clock this af
ternoon, the future of the league was
practically settled.. At an informal
session this morning it was decided
that the salary limit should be raised
to $1,000 from $860, the last year
monthly limit. The $500 bond to finish
the season is continued and the for
feiture of $50 for fair weather and $40
for rainy weather was considered de-'
slrable.
The 6utlook for the continuation of
the league was most bright and there
can be no question but that it will be
continued. Crookston and Superior
will be dropped out and the Michigan
copper country towns of Calumte and
Lake Linden will be substituted. The
new league wyi be composed of Win
nipeg, Grand Forks, Fargo, Duluth,
Calumet and Lake Linden. Crookston
is out Qf the league beyond question.
Pi'ice, of Fargo is fixed upon for the
new president.
The only difliculty confronting the
board in forming the new league was
that of transportation. However, they
are In conference with railroad offi
cials this afternoon and have practi
cally reached a solution of the ques
tion.
Intermit nt Crooknton.
Crookston Times: One of the most
prominent residents of Crookston,
whose word is as good as his bond,
and ^ho is capable In every sense of
the word, made this statement to the
secretary of' the Crookston Baseball
association this morning: "If $2,000
is raised in Crookston this spring, I
will put in the best team that has ev^r
represented Crookston and put up a
bond that the team finishes the season,
and it will not carry off any tail hon
ors, either." This offer revived inter
est in the Northern league proposi
tion, and Secretary N. S. Davies and
Sam Rosenthal will leave this evening
for Duluth where the annual meeting
of the league will be held Monday, and
the pennant for the season of '05
formally awarded to Duluth at a big
banquet at the Spaulding hotel.
IS SUDDENLY
TAKEN
Frank Lehman, Well Known and Re
spected Citizen Passed Away Sun­
day evening nt Deaconess Hospital
—Death Due io Pneumonia.
Yesterday evening at the Deaconess
hospital in this city occurred the
death of Frank Lehman from acute
pneumonia, after an illness of a few
hours. Mr. Lehman was operated up
on a week ago last Tuesday for kid
ney trouble, and up to yesterday seem
ed to be getting along nicely. He was
able to be up for a few moments yes
terday and the attending physician
thought his complete recovery but a
question of days. About 2 o'clock he
was taken with an acute attack of
pneumonia and at 5 o'clock breathed
his last, being conscious to the 'Very
last.
Mr. Lehman qpme«to Grand Forks
20 years ago, when he was 30 years of
age, &nd has been a resident of the.
city since. He was a baker by trade
and has been engaged in business dur
ing his residence here. Up to the
time of his death he had been asso
ciated for some time with Joseph Tro
cha in the ownership of the Vienna
bakery. Mr. Trocha will conduct the
business alone in the future.
Mr. Lehman leaves no relatives of
any kind in this country and only
two sisters and a nephew in Saxony,
Germany. His death comes as a shock
to his friends in the city, although it
had not been unexpected, as he had
been a sufferer for years from Bright's
disease.
The funeral services will be held at
2 o'clock from the lodge room of the
Knights of Pythias, under the au
spices of that order. The Eagles and
Royal Americans, both ot which or
ders Mr. Lehman was a member, will
also participate in the funeral.

OVERRULED A
MOTION
Judge Kneeshaw Denies Motion for
Defanlt Judgment of $10,000 in
Famous Waldo Case—An Appeal is
Likely to Be Taken.
Saturday evening Attorneys U. L.
Burdick of Munich and W. J. Wehe of
Edmore arrived in the city from Graf
where they went Saturday to. ar
gue the motion for a default judg
ment in the case of Rv H.vSchraed«r
vs. V. S. Waldo. It will be remember
ed that this case was one which came
before Judge Fisk a fortnight since
and went to Grafton before Judge
Kneeshaw on a change' of venue.
Saturday Mr. Wehe made a motion
for a default judgment in the sum of
$10,000, but.was overruled by Judge
Kneeshaw and the case will be tried
on its merits. Mr. Wehe will probably
make an appeal. The case will be up
for trial otherwise within a short
time.

Was Played Between tlie Locals and
Fossion Team Saturday—The Latter
Won By a Close Score—Game Was
Interesting Throughout.
One of the fastest basket ball games
ever played in this part of the country
took place between' the local girls'
basket ball team and the Fosston team
last Saturday. The game was played
at Fosston and was a hot one from
start to finish. In the first half the
locals were in the lead, the score be
ing 6 to 6. In the second half, how
ever, the Fosston girls took a brace
and finally won out by a score of 12
to 9. The following was the line-up of
the locals
Center, Miss Bertha Standish for
wards, Misses Edith Bell and Henri
etta McGuire guards, Misses Lillie
Hiler and Muriel Patterson. Terry
McGovern of the university was ref
eree, C. Cuthacel scorekeeper and
Hugh Mcllraith, timekeeper.
Miss Berry acted as chaperone. The
girls report a pleasant time and the
Fosston people as royal entertainers.
When coming home the train which
was carrying them was stalled at. Ers
kine for ten hours and the players and
their supporters did hot get back to
their homes until 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. It is reported that a spe
cial train had to take a new supply
of eatables to Ersklne this morning
as the crowd finished all that happen
ed to be at that place. A return game
will be played with Fosston within a
few weeks and the team is assured of
a royal welcome when they come here
to play.
AMA HOYE DEAD.
Daughter of a Well Known Farmer
Passes Away—Typhoid FeTer
the Cause.
Miss Ama Hoye, the sixteen-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs' Iven Hoye,
who reside about six miles out of this
city, died Friday, the cause of her de
mise being typhoid fever. The de
ceased was highly regarded by all who
knew her and her death is felt keenly
by the community at large.
Framing An Ordinance.
City Attorney Collins is framing an
ordinance which will be presented to
the city council Tuesday for passing.
The ordinance is a most useful one
and provides that all persons not hav
ing the snow cleaned off the sidewalks
in front of their residence or place of
business can be subject to a' fine of
not less than $5 nor more than $25. A
clause in the ordinance also provides
that on failure of the parties to clean
off their sidewalks that the street com
missioner clean them off and the
charge be taxed against the property.
The bill as It stands will undoubtedly
be passed and will be of immense
benefit both to the city and" its in
habitants.
Case Up Today.
The much harped on Bell-Jarvis
contest case is being argued at
Crooksston before Judge Watts today.
Attorneys Branson, Collins and Fin
layson and Massee are all present and
will deliver the goods. A number of
people interested In the case have
also gone over. An early decision is
awaited and expected by the citizens
here.
Among those who went to Crookston
to attend the trial-were Tom Murray,
W. R. Stoughton, J. J. O'Leary, John
Westberg, John Vosler and H. H. Bell.
Regulating Fowls.'
The new law regulating the sale of
fowls, etc., which will go into effect

Had a Good Scare.'
The relatives of the mail carrier of
route No. 2 north of this city, were
badly frightened Saturday when the
person in question did not show up
on schedule time. He had gone into
a house on his route when the bliz
zard started and thus did not make the
rounds on scheduled time. The job of
mail carrier is not what it is cracked
up to be, especially in the weather like
that which prevailed Saturday.
Judicial Ditch Hearing.
There will be a hearing on judicial
ditch No. 4 before .Tudge Watts on the
28th of February. This is a waterway,
short, but very important, which has
hung for a number of years for the
reason that not enough of the pe
titioners had proved up on their land.
A sufficient number of petitioners have
now received patents and the case will
be determined in the near future.
Visited the Local Man.
During the convention of undertak
ers and embalmere in Grand Forks'
during the past week fully a hundred
of the members of the
1
association
called on D. J. Sullivan, the local em
balmer, and viewed his splendid fu
neral car and flower wagon. The out
fit, which is one of the finest in the
west, was favorably complimented up
on by them.
Snow Plow Again.
The Northern Pacific found it neces
sary to send out the Russell snow
plow again yesterday. The banks of
snow were not large but were frozen,
compact and dangerous. The Russell
has been quite an important addition
in railroad paraphernalia the past tew
months and doubtless will be for some
time to come.
Arguments to be Heard.
The attorneys in the Jarvts-Bell case
are putting the finishing touches on
their arguments in the contest case
which will be' heard today before
Judge Watts at Crookston. The ver
dict is being anxiously awaited by all
interested.

A drunk at the Great Northern was
one of the trials of the police there
last evening. He hailed from Benson,
and it was with considerable trouble
that the officers Induced him to depart
for his home on No. 10.
Heard the Speaker.
A number of people from this side
of the river attended the lecture give/i
by Jack London Saturday evening.
They report the lecture as both en
tertaining and instructive aal worth
the money any time.

The Reporter.
Everybody's Magazine: A common
charge brought against newspaper re
porters is that they are heartless, that
they revel in laying before the world
the closely guarded secrets ot indi
viduals. It constantly happens that a
reporter must do unpleasant things
because others have been guilty of
those violations of custom, law *or
convention that make news. The
opprobrium that belongs to the real
offender is not infrequently heaped
upon the innocent newsgathers. There
is 'no, work a reporter detests io hutch
