Somewhat Earlier than Was at
First Anticipated—Wires
to be Shipped Soon.
Thomas Roycraft, manager of the
Onmd Forks Gas and Electric com
pany. states that he will be able to
supply Bast Grand Forks with elec
tricity by about May 20. This Is some'
what earlier than the date first set,
but the supplies ordered will be ship
ped earlier than expected. This fact
allows the company to get into shape
to supply local people with light so
much sooner.
East Grand Forks people, accus
tomed to electricity, finding lamps
rather unhandy, and there will be joy
when the current is again turned on.
& As stated in the Evening Times Fri

In Communication He Advocates More
Koom In City Hall Which is to
be Erected.
The following communication sign
ed by "A Taxpayer" appeared in the
Valley View this week:
To the Editor of the Valley View:
Dear Sir:
I notice that the new city hall is
to be erected on the old foundation,
and the building to be modern in
every respect. 1 think now is the
time to build for the future and the
old foundation should not stand in the
way of doing the right thing now. In
the past, one found that the room
was not sufficient and in building now
the whole of the ground owned by the
city ought to be occupied. There is
no use leaving several odd feet of
ground lving around waste and use
less when the new building should
cover them. In fact anew plan should
be made to cover all requirements
and suitable fireproof vaults to store
documents in should be provided on
both floors. A necessary amount of
room space for the several depart
•y- ments of the city is imperative at
this time and an old foundation should
not be considered as having any bear
ing on so important a matter. Let us
have a full and complete report of
some good architect on the matter and
plan first and build afterwards.

I0IICE RECHIBJT UMDOFHSE
Of Opening of New Lands In Neigh
borhood of Greenbush—Same
Conditions are Xade.
The Crookston land office received
official notice yesterday from Wash
ington of the opening of the lands
in this state which were mentioned in
the dispatches some days ago.

which will be thrown open in each
district: Duluth, 2,666.87 acres Cass
Lake, 6,687.29, and Crookston 219,943.
25 acres. It will be seen from this
that the land in the Crookston district

tensive than that in the other two dis
tricts. The land to 'be thrown open
in the Crookston district is out al
most directly east of Greenbush. It
Is in the southeast corner of Roseau
county and the northwest corner of
Beltrami. The conditions under which
this land may be taken is the same
as that under the other homestead
laws. $1.25 per acre must be paid for
the land and homestead entry and du
ties must he performed on it before
wrtitle is granted by the government
It is also subject to the drainage tax.
These lands will be opened July 1,
at 9 o'clock a. m. in the Crookston
land office. The officials there state
that they do not expect to get any
schedules, or lists of lands for at least
three of four weeks.

to be the largest gathering of its
kind ever held. In addition to the
leaders in Sunday school work of
two continents there will be present
men and women fresh from mission
ary fields in nearly every country of
the missionary world, for the con
vention will, in large measure, be a
missionary Sunday school convention.
Arrangements have been made to hold
services in a number of the Roman
churches and a monster demonstra
tion will be held in the ruins of (he
Coliseum, the largest amphitheatre in
the world, and seating between 40,
000 and 50,000.
Prominent among the participants
in the convention will be the Rev. Dr.
G. Campbell Morgan, the Rev. Frank

A TALE OF THE SEA.
Here Is a thrilling story .told by
Capt Parkinson, one of the passeng
ers on the Berlin, wrecked at the Hook
of Holland a few days ago. He says:
There was a grating sound, and 1
knew there was something wrong. 1
slipped on my pajamas and shirt and
rushed on deck. Here were a lot ot
people runnipg about and I saw some
of the stewards putting on life belts
for passengers. I bolted back into my
cabin again, put on some' more clothes
and a life belt with an overcoat on
top to prevent its being washed oft.
I went up on the bridge to see If 1
could help Capt Precious and I said
to him: 'Is there any chance of us
getting off?' He said 'I hope so wefre
going full steam astern to try and
'back clear off.' We went astern about
twenty feet and then slewed round.
When Capt Precious saw this he gave
the order, Stop her/ But almost at
the same moment the engineer rushed
on deck, saying that the engine room
was flooded and he had to escape, leav
ing the engines still going fulf speed
astern. We oould see then that the
ship was doomed: Then the captain,
the pilot and myself went down to the
next bridge. I never saw either ot
them after that they must have been
washed overboard. The waves were
running mountain high at this time.
"I went along with the rest of the
passengers and stood behind the deck
house on the port side till the after
part of the ship came in two, and the
sea poured all over us. God knows
how long we stopped there like
this. The weather was terrible there
was no fog or snow, but the wind
was bitterly cold, and I never saw big
ger rollers. Women and children,
half-dressed, were huddled up by the
side of the deckhouse, drenched to
their skins and moaning and crying
plteously. The childen soon* died. I
did my best to save one child. The
young mother, in an almost uncon
scious condition, had put the child on
a seat Numbed with the cold, it fell
off and I helped them up to a man in
a more protected position. Death
came to the child a few minutes after
ward, the mother holding its hand as
it passed away. There was no panic,
and the crew met their end bravely.
The passengers stood there together
calmly awaiting their fate. Suddenly
we started to settle down forward. 1
sang out: 'We'd all better get aft.
It's most likely that the forward will
slide Into deep water.' I myself start
ed to go aft one poor woman cling
ing to my arm. She was still brave.
"We had only a few paces when a
tremendous sea struck us. There was
a fearful crashing noise and the whole
hull seemed as if it was being rent
and spilt and the funnel went over.
I was swept into the sea, strinking
the chain as I went down. When 1
came up I struck out away from the
ship, and looked round for wreckage.
It was terribly cold and I thought it
was all over. Soon I was buipped up
against a big piece of wood, and, hold
ing this, paddled about, half-blinded
'by the sea. My legs were completely
numbed and I felt every moment as
it I should have to let go. I remember
seeing Mr. Holden of Bolton trying to
escape through a porthole. I shouted
to him, 'Good-by,' and I saw him no
more. I was almost done when I
heard some shouting, and, turning my
head, I saw the lifeboat They bore
down on me and hooked me in."
A great many years ago there were
a book of Tennyson's poems, a bible,
Milton's "Paradise Lost" and reading
matter of a similar nature on every
parlor table. Bver see them now?
How many do you know who have a
copy of "Paradise Lost?" Do you
personally know of any one whose
word is good who has read it within
the last twenty years?
It looks as though every man in
the country is aching for a row, and
for hard-times. The oountry was
never before as prosperous as it is
now, but did you ever before remark
as much dissatisfaction as seems to
exist now? And nearly every man
who is dlsaatMed is also unreason
able.

Bismarck, N. D., April 27.—By exec
utive order of January 20, 1905, .a
large quantity of land was withdrawn
from entry in the vicinity of Bis
marck in connection with what was
known as the "Bismarck irrigation
project" In *1906 a considerable por
tion of this reservation was restored
tor settlement under the public land
laws as not being required for the irri
gation proposition.
The citizens of Bismarck and vicin
ity not having warmed up to the irri
gation proposition and not having or
ganized under the irrigation act, a
largo portion of what was left has now
been restored and unless some action
is taken In the near future It is likely

WAR TO THE KNIFEB.
In England as Well as in America to
Stamp Ont the Dreadful Disease.
"War to the knife", against tuber
culosis in cattle as well as humans is
being waged in England as it is In
America. An English bacteriologist
in a letter to the London Times under
the above heading says among other
things:
"We find that in the six years which
have elapsed, whilst the fact that the
Boyai Commission was at work has
rendered sanitary authorities very
unwilling to take any decided step un
til its report was forthcoming, much
progress has been made and In the
samples ot milk submitted to me by
the various authorities for examina
tion I have found a steadily dimin
ishing proportion of tubercular spe
cimens, whilst there has been a cor
responding diminution In the Infantile
deathrate from tubercular disease, an
other strong inferential proof that the
two are connected.
"Many dairymen now refuse to buy
cows without a tuberculin test, and
th#re is no real nor serious difficulty
in ensuring that this should be done
in every case. Moreover! as regards
to milk itself, since the bacillus tu
berculosis can be detected microsco
pically in a few hours in practically
all cases In which it is present, it
would not be beyond the bounds of
possibility to control the milk sup
ply In this particular. Without fresh
legislation, it appears to me that the
same legal provisions which enabled
