The IssbNNt W4tes..Ssaaa, = n1Versity,
The visitor is very favorably impressed
with the architecture Of the rebuilt Mitch
ell university. 1t is of Sioux Falls JASPER,
With lighter stone Trimmings. The roof
Is somewhat after the Queen Anne stvle,
with gables having triple windows. The
rooms are high, light and airy; the chapel
is a beautiful room on the northeast of the
building, with colored cathedral glass win
dows. When the university was burned
there was a debt of several thousand dol
lars on the property, but through the gen.
erosity Of the people of Mitchell and many
other friends of the institutions, the uni
versity will be turned over to the trustees
this fall free from debt. The committee of
twenty-five will have to become response
BILE for only Il small deficit, and for this
they get title to several lots IN University
addition, fully worth the amount. Mitchell
is to be congratulated upon her generosity
and push in the matter Of rebuilding hel
splendid university building.
The Wheat is o. X. Up North.
Several samples of wheat taken from the
fields in Eckluud township were on in
6pection at the Bismarck Tribune count
ing room. There were also some
oats and timothy. Wheat. the farmers
confidently assert, will average 20 and %
bushels to the acre, and oats about G5.
Timothy thus far has been raised only as
an experiment and thrives in this country.
Such favorable indications knock the pre-
dictions of a poor crop sky high. Indeed
the farmers OF the famous Missouri slope
will have good cause for rejoicing this fall.
