Grand Forks is going to benefit ae
a result of the rate bill passed by the
legislature of Minnesota. The legis
lature passed a bill making a two
cent fare on all passenger trains in
that state. This lav will go into ef
fect on May 1.
The fare from Grand Forjis to the
Twin Cities is at present $9.55. The
Show at the Met Tonight Said to Be
Most Extraordinary Play—Ar
rived this Morning.
The cast of "45 Minutes From
Broadway," whicli Is to show at the
Metropolitan tonight, arrived in the
city this morning over the Northern
Pacific. The play is said .to be one of
the most extraordinary on the road.
It is neither "fish, flesh, fjowl, nor good
red herring," but is none the less a
very palatable show., according to ex
changes and theatrical comments.
There are about thirty characters
in this pot pourri, the two principal
actors being Corlnne, who takes the
part of Mary Jane Jenkins, and Mr.
Welch who takes the part of Kid
Burns of Scott Welch. Mr. Welch is
said to be a sterling comedian and
gives "de talk" of the Bowery with
an eloquence and richness that keeps
the audience in bubbling Joyfullness.
Manager Myers reports a very heavy
seat sale.
It occasionally occurs to a man that
all he gets for doing a thing well Is
to see a lot of encouragement given
his imitators.

1EST SUIT PROBABLE IN LIEN LAW
It is not likely to be very long be
fore the new mechanics' lien law, H.
B. 53, will be put to the test in the
supreme court, on the ground that it
is class legislation.
.The act amends section 6295 of the
code of 1905. The printed bill as in
troduced by Mr. Griffith, read "any
person who shall make or alter any
article of personal property," etc. The
Judiciary committee of the senate
amended the section to read, "any
blacksmith or machinist having an es
tablished place of business within the
state" shall have alien upon the same
for reasonable charges for work done
and materials furnished, until the
same are paid. The act specially pro
vides for any work done upon an en
gine, threshing machine or well ma
chine. Also that the lien for all work
done on that class of machinery shall
be a first lien on the property, taking
precedence of a mortgage for the pur
chase price of the machine. The

ceived at the local office of the rail

theory of the 'blacksmiths' organiza
tion, which Teally inspired the amend
ments to the bill, is that the machine
is practically valueless until it is re
paired, also that it has no' earning
capacity, consequently the man who
pilts labor on the broken machine and
supplies materials at considerable cost
and outlay of capital is just as much
entitled to his pay as the man who
sold the machine in the first place—
in fact the blacksmith claims that he
has been an important factor in assist
ing the machine salesman to get his
money.
The claim is made, in machinery cir
clee, that a similar law was placed on
the statute books very soon after the
organization of the state, but was soon
repealed. In the argument supporting
the passage of the new bill,, many In
stances were cited where machinists
and blacksmiths had been practically
cheated out of money for labor and
supplies and had been given the merry
"ha-ha" by machinery houses.

WILL PRESENT BILL
10 ERST GRAND
East Side Council Will Be
Asked to Pay For Repairs
on DeMers Bridge.
At the next meeting of the East
Grand Porks city council a bill will be
presented by the bridge committee of
the Grand Forks aldermanic body, the
amount, about $200, representing the
coat of repairs on the DeMers avenue
bridge on the side directly adjoining
East Grand Forks property. This
amount the East Side councllmen
will be asked to pay, inasmuch as the
Grand Forks city treasury has always
contributed the entire cost of repairs
on the bridge from which East Grand
Forks undoubtedly gets as much bene
fits as this city.
The only time the Minnesota city
ever contributed toward the repairs
and cost of maintenance of tha span,
according to a local councilman, was
at the time of the big fire in '98 when
the east approach was partially de
stroyed. There was considerable fric
tion between the two councils, how
ever, before the matter was amicably
settled.
The approximated $200 which East
Grand Forks, will be asked to pay, is
represented by the following items
on the report of the bridge committee:
Four piling under east ap
proach $ 80.00
114 hours time men capping
piling, moving span and:
draw span 22.80
47% hours time at 25 cents
iter hour 11.88
90 hours-time at 40 cents per.
hour 36.00
One piece 12x14—14 cap on
piling 4.89
7 pieces 4x8—18 cap on piling 10.08
3 pieces 12x14—14 cap on piling 17.64
Total »183.29
There are numerous incidentals be
sides the above which will be Included
in the bill.

Train on Hannah Line Had Another
Touch of the "Good Old Winter
Time,"
"Train No. 206. running between
Grand Forks and Hannah, will be in
this afternoon at 4 o'clock," was the
frequent rejoinder made by G. X.
Agent W. S. Weber and Ticket Clerk
Charles Taylor today to the waiting
populace. Train 206 went out yester
day morning, but train 206 didn't re
turn as the time table provides, for it
was stalled in a snowdrift in the
neighborhood of Langdon. The storm
which has been raging over the en
tire northern part of the state, was
responsible for the temporary lay-off.

E. J. LANDER & GO.
Heard on the Curb
C. P. Whitcomb—There is an active
demand for the ten-acre garden tracts
opposite the Town and Country club
grounds.
Architect W. J. Edwards—Judging
from the rush of work in the local
architects' offices, there will be an un
precended amount of building in North
Dakota this year.
Street Commissioner Durick—The
present weather is very much against
the work on the streets, and the street
department looked forward with im
patience to a period ot dry weather.
The sewers are running again after
the high water, and I will start flush
ing them again tomorrow.
O. Young—We just received a car
load of new Poole and Crown pianos,
and the men are engaged in unloading
them today. The piano business is
very good this year.
D. M. Holmes—There have been ru
mors and rumors floating about the
city concerning a raise in insurance
rates in Grand Forks. As far as I can
learn, and I am in a good position to
know the plans, there is no probability
of such a raise in insurance rates
G. N. Agent W. S. Weber—One of the
best barometers of how Grand Porks
is growing, is the ticket office of the
Great Northern road, and using this as
such, there is every reason to predict
for this city a fine future. Our busi
ness is increasing every month.
Health Officer W. J. Doty—Inasmuch
as there has been some complaint on
the part of property owners on Wood
land avenue, the throughfare nest ad
joining Minnesota avenue, I wish to
state that the work of cleaning out the
straw and other refuse matter from
the street, will commence just as soon
as the Ice melts, so as to give the
workmen a chance to use their shovels
Manager Myers of the Metropolitan
—For the first time in ten years a
show troupe from Winnipeg arrived
in the city before ten o'clock in the
morning. "Forty-Five Minutes From
Broadway" has had a good run in
Winnipeg, and our seat sale is very
promising. The house last night at
the Virginian was good, in fact very
near the capacity.
Georgo Schwan—Everybody admits
•that we need a change in weather, if
business is to assume its naturai
height. However the clothing business
is very good.
W. H. Alexander—The ice business
is starting in early this year and or
ders'are coining in fast. People are
always somewhat "skerry" about the
river water at this period of the year
when the winter's refuse is impregnat
ed.
SAD CASE XT LARIMORE
Young Boy Made Unsuccessful Effort
to- I'nsex Himself—Under
Physicians Care.
Gus Carter, the 16-year-old son of
M. A. Carter, a Larimore blacksmith,
made an attempe to unsex himself at
his homo Wednesday afternoon at
about 5 o'clock. The unfortunate
youth has been under the care of a
Larimore physician since, and is get
ting along fairly well. The lad used
a razor with which to perform the
operation, which was unsuccessful.
Following the attempt at emascula
tion, young Carter walked from the
house to his father's blacksmith shop,
where he fainted, his condition then
being discovered.
Naturally a girl would rather be
beautiful than intellectual. There are
more stupid men in the world than
blind ones.

Travelers coming down from Lang

The fire started from a spark from a

The burning of a water tank, though
not a rarity, is somewhat of an un
