But the proposition which we are
discussing is something out of the or
dinary in this particular. The ma
terial used is almost entirely lumber,
so that the machinery required would
be necessarily light, requiring small
power. The raw material in the form
of lumber is produced right in our
midst by the great lumber manufac
turing plant which is one of our sub
stantial industrial institutions at this
time. So far as the supply is con
cerned it is as nearly inexhaustable as
any in the entire country, and will be
perfectly safe as the raw material
source for such a manufacturing plant
as is proposed.
The advantage to the city in se
curing the fanning mill plant is the
fact, as indicated, that the larger por
tion of the work is the assembling of
-'the parts—work which no machine
can do—so that there would be a
large number of skilled laborers in
proportion to the machinery power
used. It is therefore evident that this
Is exactly the kind of plant which
will fit into our local conditions.
The advantages of this point for
the manufactury of such articles are
numerous. The consuming market is
fouund etxclusively in the grain
growing regions of which Grand
Forks is the very center. The ma
chines being bulky without corre
sponding weight, makes the cost of
shipping them long distances largely
restrictive, if not even prohibitive,
to the user.
The Evening Times has repeatedly
discussed the advantages which the
city would derive from the establish
ment of industries here which would
employ well paid labor, thereby cre
ating a larger buying public, as well
as a demand for the perishable farm
products which now find a limited
number of purchasers or are not cul
tivated at all because of the lack of
a market. This would increase the
value of farm lands near the city as
well as make additional business for
the mercliants in the city.
Such enterprises should be encour
saged to locate in our midst. It would
be a splendid business proposition for
the owners of the several outlying ad
ditions to the city to offer a location
free to the enterprise. If such loca
tion were made the men who would
be employed in it would naturally
purchase building lots near by so that
the enhanced value of these, with the
development of the city in the direc
tion of such improvements, would be
much greater than the value of the
gift
NEW ENGLAND IN CONGRESS.
A subscriber asks the Evening
Times why the New England states
with their smaller areas and less
progressive communities have always
been in the forefront of national legis
lation'. The inquirer cites a number of
instances in which Rhode Island with
an area little larger tlhan Ward coun
ty, Is able to mould legislation for the
.- entire nation.
A study of the relation of the sev
eral Btates of New England to the na
tional congress will show that they, in
the early history of the country,
adopted a method which has since
been generally adhered to, of de
veloping the members of congress who
.have represented these etastes, and
"have utilized the advantages of ex
perience to give them prestige.
Hie first notable example of New
England legislative influence'was that
of Webster. Great as he was as a
lawyer, hit ability as a statesman was

FANNING MILL FACTOKY.
Secretary Bachellor of the Com
mercial club is in receipt of a com
munication from a concern which is
desirous of securing a location for
a fanning mill factory, and there is
a possibility that with a properly di
rected effort on the part of our citi
zens, it could be secured for this city.
It is worth serious and careful at
tention.
The plant would be exactly suited
to the conditions here, as the manu
factory is largely hand work. It
must be admitted, however reluctant
ly, that the question of power for,
industrial enterprises which require
a large amount of machinery, is, as
yet, an unsolved problem for this
and other cities of the Red river val
ley. The cost of fuel is too large to
compete with other cities more fa
Tored.

acquired in the halls of congress. He
became the greatest lawmaker of his
time because he gave to that subject
the same careful and comprehensive
study and profound investigation that
he gave to his profession. Xo one for
a moment believes that he could have
given the nation and the world
that masterpiece of constitu
tional law which constituted his
eloquent reply to Hayne, in the
earlier years of his public career.
It was the product of his long
public life, in which was gathered the
experience, the information and the
ability of the'years of schooling in the
arena of conflict. Websiter could nev
er have hurled those thunderbolts- of
logic and reason and justice against
the institution of human slavery in
his earlier and less mature years.
What is true of Webster is true of
the great Edmunds, who rose from
mediocnty to be the great legal genius
and the recognized leader of the sen
ate in the last decade. He was found
diligent and studious, and Vermont
gave him the opportunity to grow. In
his growth and increased power not
he alone but the state which he rep
resented, secured an enviable advan
tage. He wrote the power of his state
into the statutes of the nation in
unerasable letters. Had he been re
tired from public life earlier in his
career. Vermont would have lost her
proud position acquired through the
strength and power of his influence in
his later career.
When the great Tom Reed entered
congress he could not have secured
the passage of a bill to erect a public
building in the capital of his state.
Yet by means of the ability which
came only by long experience he
wrought a revolution in the parliamen*
tary practices of congress and gave
the country a business method of law
making which alone has made possible
the enactment of the laws which at
the present time are curbing the power
of the corporate interests of the coun
try.
But so tor as the history of New
England is concerned, examples might
be cited from every state. Hoar of
Massachusetts, sometimes wrong, but
always honest, Frye and Hale of
Maine, great leaders in every national
legislation measure, Aldrich of Rhode
Island, whose power has been but sel
dom broken, are all emphatic ex
amples of the power of the New Eng
land states in the halls of our national
legislature. Not one of them served
less than a quarter of century. All de
veloped their powers and acquired
their influence from their public serv
ice
No one can doubt, as our interroga
tor inquires, but that the influence of
these men has made New England
greater than she would otherwise have
been. The tens of millions of spindles
which run in the great cotton fac
tories, the wheels which never cease
turning in her leather and other in
dustries, have been made possible by
the -aid of national legislation. De
prived of these industries, and that
country would become an abiding
place for the owls and bats. Small
in area, the New England states have
dictated legislation strongly favorable
to their purposes by means of the
power and influence of their national
lawmakers, and these have become so
by long continued periods of service.
Pulse of the Prm
Peas Against Battle Ship.
(McCumber Herald.)
The endeavors of the Grand Forks
Herald and the pee-wee press to dis
credit Senator Hansbrough does not
hurt the senator and therefore does
little harm.
Alas! Vain Hope.
(Grafton News and Times—Dem.)
The Grand Forks Press is sure that
the Press has Senator Hansbrough
and President Roosevelt bottled up.
We trust the Press may realize its
hopes, but it's a mighty big contract,
gentlemen.
Helping the Senator.
(Mohall News.)
The tactics of the Grand Forks
Ddlly Evening Press pursued in as
sailing Senator H. C. Hansbrough are
making the senator friends every day.
Let the Grand Forks Press continue
its course tor a year and it will re
elect the senator for another term,
even though he may not ask it It
takes something more than mud
slinging of a penny paper to injure
the character of a man who has serv
ed the public so long and accomplish
ed so much ae has the senior senator
of this state.
For a Square Deal*
(Edmore Herald-News.)
The Grand Forks Evening Press
is working overtime trying to make
out that Senator Hansbrough is
against Roosevelt President Roose
velt, through his secretary, Mr. Loeb,
hands out a letter in which he states
that Senator Hansbrough has been
one whom he could depend on to
back him up In his administration.
This ought to satisfy the Press. But
then it is hlard to satisfy some peo
ple. We have not always agreed with
Hansbrough, but we Ibelieve in being
fair, and if the Press wants to rake
him over let them stand by the truth
and not "beat around the bush."

Hopes to Get Here.
a
Some time since President O. M.
Hatcher of the Grand Porks Oratorio
society extended an invitation to Gov
ernor Burke and his official family
to attend the festival in this city May
16 and IT. Mr. Hatcher is just in re
ceipt of a letter from the governor
in which he expresses his apprecia
tion of the invitation and states that
if it is possible for him to get. away
from public duties he will certainly
attend with his full staff. The attend
ance of the governor of the state with
his staff in uniform would be a pleas
ing feature of this great musical gath
ering which will be attended by prom
inent people from all parts of the
state and from other states. The offi
cers hope and believe that the gover
nor will make every effort possible
to lend the splendor of^gold lace and
epaulets to an occasion of brilliancy
within itself.

St Paul, May 7.—General Manager
Horn of the Northern Pacific railroad
gave out the following statement on
the attempt to rob the North Coast
Limited near Butte, Mont., early to
day:
"No. 2, the east bound North Coast
Limited, Engineer Frank Clow, and
Conductor Culver, was held up on the
east side of Butte mountain, about
sixteen miles east of Butte, Mont, by
two or more men who shot and killed
the engineer and shot the fireman
through the arm. They did some more
shooting, .but evidently became
alarmed and left. Sheriff Webb, of
Billings, was on the train and started
on the trail of the holdup men at once.
"Blood hounds from the Deer Lodge
penitentiary have been put on their
trail also and we expect to get the
men.
"Engineer Clow had been running
that train for eight years, or ever
since the limited was put into service.
"Hie robbers did not get any
money. While this road has had
several hild-ups in that vicinity In the
past ten years, we have captured the
robbers in every instance and they
are all doing time In the penitentiary,
and In all that time our money loss
has not been to exceed $3,000."

The regular May meeting of the
Grand Forks city council was held on
Monday evening. There was a full
attendance, Mayor Duls presiding. A
large amount of routine matter was
disposed of, in fact, routine business
was about the only matter that came
up.
Probably the most important ac
tion taken during the evening was
the acceptance of the proposition
made by the National Humane Al
liance. anent the watering fountain,
of which mention has been made in
the Evening Times on several occa
sions. Some time ago, Secretary
Mead of the alliance was in Grand
Forks looking over the conditions,
and at that time he decided on the
intersection -of Chestnut street and
Fifth street as a good location. The
fountains are erected as memorials to
the memory of Robert Ensign, who
was deeply interested in humane
work. The city of Grand Forks se
cured the memorial through the ef
forts of Dr. E. J. Engstad. The only
provision the city will have to meet
is the placing of it. and keep it sup
plied with water at all times.
The council also instructed the city
attorney to* investigate into the lia
bility of B. O. Paulsness in connection
with the D. Allmlan case. In this ac
tion, a judgment for fl,028 against
the city was recently confirmed by
the United States circuit court of ap
peals. The verdict was the result of
an accident in which D. Allman sus
tained injuries. The accident oc
curred on DeMers avenue, at a point,
where Mr. Paulsness was doing some
plumbing work for the city.
Bids were opened for the city print
ing, but action was deferred nntll
May 23, when the contract for print
ing for the ensuing year will be jet.
The Evening Press pnt in the high
est bid, offering to print the city work
for 20 cents'per inch for the first
insertion^, and 15 cents per' inch for
the seconV insertion. The Evening
Times' bid was 10 cents an inch,
.while the Herald put in a bid offer
ing to do the same work for eight
cents an inch.
City Attorney Rek made a report
in regard to the electric light wires
and gas pipe of the Grand Forks Gas
and Electric company, crossing the
Red river bridge on the DeMers ave
nue bridge. Attorney Rex was in
structed to investigate the rights of
the company in using the bridge, and
in his report, he stated that the com
pany had no right to use the structure.
The report was placed on file.
Attorney Rex stated to the city
council that he had an interview with
W. J. Murphy yesterday in regard to
the laying of all electric light wires
under ground. Mr. Joy stated that he
believed Mr. Murphy was willing to
meet the council half way on any
proposition, and he recommended the
appointment of a committee to be
composed of the city attorney and
chairmen of the light public improve-
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific agents last evening received
new freight tariff sheets, the most
pleasing and agreeable feature of
which is to be found In the fact that
under the new schedules Grand Forks
jobbers, in common with those of other
northwestern cities, benefit by a reduc
tion amounting to about 10 per cent
In a revision of freight rates sev
eral months ago, by the railroads,
what is known in jobbing circles as
the commodity rate was cut out The
railroad and warehouse commission
of Minnesota then proceeded to form
ulate a series of rates to wfaloh ob
jection was made by the St. Paul job
bers and the latter obtained a tem
porary injunction restraining the rail
road commission 'from putting them
into effect. The hearing to make the
injunction permanent was set for
Mar4h 23. but nothing has been heard
of it since. During the interim the
railroad commissioners of Minnesota
made other ratesjwhich were agreed
to by the railroatr companies, but no
commodity rates were named1. Con
ferences and negotiations between
jobbers Interested and the railroads
have been pending ever since.
It is now learned that the railroad
and warehouse commissioners of Min
nesota have formulated commodity
rates' in car loads of the fifth' class
and they are to go into effect June 3.
These rates are based on the actual
mileage and they are as follows:

that the company was willing com
ply with the ordinance ordering the
laying of all wires within the fire
limits of the city underRronnd. How
ever. he stated, that at this time it
would be quite inconvenient for the
company to take action, but that
something would be done before the
new pavement was laid. There are
only seventeen of the Northwestern
Telephone company poles within the
fire limits.
An ordinance was read for tho firs?
time, which, in substance, prevents
the placing of any telegraph, tele
phone, electric light or other such
pole without having first secured the
consent of the city council. A penally
