nual four-cornered debate: Are deer

ter, snow or no snow
Fullerton says wolves cannot run down
deer when there is little snow, because
the latter are too fleet If there is much
snow, he maintains, the wolf can 1nvari-
ably catch deer, because the latters
hoofs cut through the snow to the ground,
while the wolf, being lighter, can run on
the crust. Mr.. Patterson says wolves
have no difficulty in overhauling deer,
snow or no snow.
+. w. Rayburn says deer fall easy prey
to wolves because when the pack starts
deer it inevitably heads for water,
summer or winter. While water some
times offers refuge, the deer Is easily
overhauled when he breaks onto the ice
in winter.

NEW EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
Opposition in North Dakota-Univer-

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 25.-There may be
some organized objection to the proposed
plan Of adopting a new educational sys-
tenn in this state by which the rural dis
trict schools will be organized along a
high school and state university basis.
The system would work admirably for
the state university, but would injure the
agricultural college.
For many years there have been pro-
tests by many educators that the system
provided too little nature study and in
formation on agriculture, so essential in
this state, which is strictly a farming
community. The change, If permitted

CHAMBER TO KEEP OUT
Whatever Grain Men Do Will he as
Individuals.
1t is not likely that the Chamber of
Commerce will take any official action
looking to a fight against the tax BILL
But while the chamber may not lend it's
official sanction to a protest there is no
doubt about the attitude. of the members.
Secretary G. d. Rogers said this morning
that he knew of no contemplated action
on the part Of the chamber, and called at
tention to the fact that of late it has been
the policy of the organization to refrain
from mixing in public agitations.
AS to the sentiment Of the members,
Colonel Rogers said they were against
the bill to man. The grain commission
men, flour milling and elevator interests
will stand together to fight certain fea-
lures Of the bill Especial stress is laid
upon the alleged hardship in laying the
tax April l. The elevator men say that
had they supposed that this bill was to
come up in its present shape, there would
not now be half the present quantity Of
grain in store here. They argue that the
legislature at least owes it to them to
postpone the date of operation for year,
so the business of buying and storing
grain may be adjusted to fit the new con-
ditions.
Some Of the most prominent men of the
chamber believe that the bill will never
pass in its present shape. John Wash
burn says the chamber stands ready to
do whatever the members may wish, but
the directors would prefer to keep the
organization out of the matter. ,
F. w. Commons says the effect of the
passage of the bill in, it's present shape
would be the worst blow Minneapolis
could receive.
w. G. Ainsworth says the result will
be to drive the business away from here
and send it to Chicago and Milwaukee.
