Government Ouage Show* 15*7
—Water Heists on Previ
ous Years.
A
From figures compiled by Captain
John Hayes head of the fleet of gov
ernment boats on the Red river, it
would appear that'Grand Forka will
be treated to the highest stage of
water In the river since 1897. Accord
ing to the government standard of
measurement the water now stands
at the 16.7 mark and is rising rapidly,
the figures showing highed water than
at corresponding dates on previous
years.
However there is no cause for alarm
aa the surface of the water will still
have to come up exactly 14.3 feet, to
the 35 mark, before it even touches
the cellars. On account of the early
rise it is expected that navigation will
open during the first week in April.
A table showing the dates of the open
ing of navigation on the Red and the
height of the water according to gov
ernment figures follows:
1900—April 11 guage showed... 8.2
1901—April 9 guage showed...21.2
1902—April 7 guage showed.. .21.0
1903—April 13 guage Bhowed...22.6%
1904—April 18 guage showed...35.6
1905—April 7 guage showed... 12.5
1906—April 9 guage showed...31.5
In 1905 the water reached a height
of 21 on the 16 of May though only
12.5 was recorded when navigation
opened.

the matter of holding the state cham

OR. UDD l||_ THE CITY
Says New Food Laws are More
Stringent Than National Laws—
Enroute to Larlmore.
Prof. Ladd, of Fargo, North Dakota
food inspector, was a visitor in Grand
Forks this morning enroute to Larl
more, where he will confer with J. B.
Streeter, Jr., on matters in ponnection
with his office.
When quizzed by an Evening Times
reporter this morning concerning the
new pure food laws passed by the state
legislature at the last session, Prof.
Ladd expressed himself as well
pleased. One of the new ones re
quires that all stock food be labeled
as to contents. The pure food restric
tions and the patent medicine and
drug law, ware also fortified. As a
whole, the state laws were made more
harmonious with the national laws,
and in some Instances are even more
stringent The sale of cocaine or of
any product containing cocaine, is
now prohibited in North Dakota, the
only other states to have similar regu
lations, being Minnesota and Massa
chusetts. Prof. Ladd will return to
night from Larlmore.

the Great Northern railway went to

will consult with the engineering de
partment. relative to construction work
to be carried on in Grand Forks this
summer. He will probably return to
Grand Forks on Sunday morning.
Considerable interest attaches to
the probable work to be done here.
The passenger depot proposition is
one that Grand Forkers are mostly
interested in. That a new depot is
necessary in Grand Forks, is an ad
mitted fact A number of the offices
of the company, which should be In
the depot, have been put in outside
places. The capacity of the waiting
room is also overtaxed every day.
In St. Paul, it will be decided upon
just what work is to he done in Grand
Forks. As soon as any decision is
reached, the work will be started. It
Is expected that the improvements
this year will be fully as large as
last.

CROTTY IN TROUBLE AGAIN
This Time Switchman Was Taken to
Devils Lake to Answer Grand
Larceny Charge.
J. Crotty was arrested late Wednes
day afternoon in Grand Forks by Chief
Lowe and Officer Benson. As they
were taking him down DeMers avenue,
the fellow made a break and reached
East Grand Forks After some little
search he was located in a saloon.
At first he refused to return to North
Dakota, but finally consented to come
back to the prohibition state. Crotty
was wanted in Devils Lake on a
charge of grand larceny, and was
taken there this morning by Chief
Hurst. It seems that Mrs. Hodson,
the landlady of the Windsor hotel is
the complaining witness, she claiming
that Crotty got away with a $49 check.
Some time ago, Crotty was mixed up
with Sheriff Hanson at the Great
Northern depot.

FUND
Grand Forks College Board is
to Raise Indebtedness and
Start New Work.
At the special meeting of the board
of trustees of the Grand Forks col
lege held this week, the financial
status of the school was discussed.
A debt yet rests on the property, and
it was decided to begin a systematic
effort to liquidate the indebtedness
this coming summer. Three solicitors
were selected and each assigned a
definite territory in which to work.
As soon as the indebtedness has been
raised, steps will be taken to place
the institution on a sound financial
basis by establishing an endowment
fund of $100,000.
Those present at the meeting were:
Rev. Geo. O. Lane, Hlll&boro Judge
A. Grindeland, Warren, Minn. Rev.
J. R. Vaaler, Twin Valley Prof. J.
Tingelstad, Grand Forks Rev. A. Sal

WHEREIN BUSTER "GETS HIS"
Imitation of the Original Buster Brown
Seen at Metropolitan Last
Evening.
The "Buster Brown" which Grand
Forks theatre-goers saw at the Metro
politan last evening was but a fair
imitation of the original Buster who
some four or five years since was
won't to delight patrons of the play
house. This statement does not mean
that last evening's performance was
altogether lacking in merit, but it is
most certainly not entitled to be in
dexed among the first raters.
Buster Brown was not a "real boy,"
