Travelled to Southwest.

The reports indicate that the cyclone
developed southwest of the Lake-of-the
Woods country and took course down
across the northern portion of the State,
travelling twards the southwest. Its path
seems to have been unusually wide and
the effects of the storm outside of its
primary line unusually severe. Devasta-
ton as such widely separated points indi-
Gates a storm of unusual violence.
At Winnepeg Junction stock train was
blown completely from the track. but
whether or not the crew escaped could
not be learned.
At 12;40 o'clock what, is thought to have
been the edge of a tornado struck st.
Paul Its onslaught was sudden and
fierce, high winds and a brilliant electrical
display being features.

Towns Destroyed,

The report from Borup came in very
soon after the storm struck and contain
ed no information as to the casualties
With the report from the ST Vincent
branch came reports that the towns of
Eldorado, about seven miles from Grand
Forks, and Thompson, between Grand
Forks and Larimore, had been destroyed.
At Thompson the Great Northern sta
tion lies a confused mass of wreckage
directly across the railroad. Stores and
residences are in ruins and the main
portion Of the town is wiped out.
Mere fragments of information come
from Eldorado, but these indicate the
destruction of that town and about ,250
people.
Neither of the reports from Thompson
or Eldorado speak of loss of life. This
is partially accounted for by the fact
that they were sent before news could
have been received from the outlying dis
tricts.

his instrument from the RUNS and tapped

For a time the officers of the freight
handlers refused to believe the news of
the signing of the agreement with the
Lake Shore The committee which signed
the agreement failed to report back to
union headquarters. Gradually however
the strikers became convinced of the
authenticity of the report
A meeting of the men gathered in the
vicinity of the hall was Immediately
called by President Curran. He addressed
the men and practically told them that
the strike was lost. He informed them
that the teamsters officers had ordered

Report.

The County School Commissioners

Just been forwarded. II shows the
following items: Enrolment in the
schools-white, males 2413, females
2404-colored, males 1888, females 200;
total 500. This is a loss of ls1 from
1901 Thirty-one districts gained 1876
and fifty-seyen districts lost 3s7.
Farber shows the largest gain, 81; and
Mexico the largest loss, Al. -Four dis
tricts almost within halling distance
of Mexico failed to report, and they
were given same numbers as last year.
Only two schools had a shorter term
than six months, they had 81 months
each. 80 schools had : or s months
term. The average length OF school
terms is IA days. There are 3districts
with an enrolment of less than Is
namely, Stauffer, Lawder, and Burke.
There are four exceptionally large
country districts. Hall in south
eastern part Of thecounty, 81; Of which
IA are colored children. New Michi-
gan In the eastern part, &c; Macedonia
in the western part, g.; Fox, north
west Of Mexico, 90. This last number
was taken from last years report,
however. Only two districts report
trees planted-Duly s, and Black 5.
There are So districts in the county.
and part Of 8 Others. In these IS
schools there were employed white
teachers; male, 40; female 90. Colored
teachers: male, 7; female, 2, total 142.
There are 5 colored schools: Mexico,
Laddonia, Vandalia, Martinsburg and
the Hall districts. There are only 3s
districts having libraries notwith-
standing the fact that the law posi-
lively requires the Directors to spend
at least s cents per pupil, per year, for
the purchase Of libraries. The average
wages raid are: Male s43f, female s34f.
The attendance Is generally poor,
perhaps on account OF bad weather
during winter. A few schools fan be-
low 80 per cent and many below 90 per
cent. The assessed valuation OF pro
perty is ss, O02, 4l0. j. n. Cross.
