Proposition to Affiliate with the State

Hold the Institution.

Special to The Journal
Wahpeton, N. D., May 4.-Recent develop
ments IN the Red River Valley university re-
moval controversy indicate that the matter will
be finally adjusted to the satisfaction of those
interested In the school, and that the university
will remain in Wahpeton. For four FIVE
months the Methodists~ of the state have been
towns in the state have had ambitions to be
the home Of the Methodist institution
The agitation was started by DR.. Robertson,
president of the Wahpeton school, and Presi-
dent Merrifeld Of the state university who
evolved plan for affiliating the two institu-
lions. The school here to be closed and the
Methodists were to build small building on
the state university campus and pay two or
three professors who were to teach Bible his
of the state school. AT "a meeting of the
board of trustees in March it was voted to
move, but to what place was not decided.
Since that time opposition to the Grand Forks
plan has been growing stronger, and at q
| meeting last week the board of regents of the
state university refused to indorse the memo
| randa entered into by, the presidents of the
| two institutions. This action practically kills

| time favored removing to, any place except
| Grand Forks. and now that that Is practically
out of the question he is willing to work with
Wahpeton in attempt to retain the school,
provided Wahpeton will be liberal in its sup.
port, and provided he and the local church
| members can come. to an amicable agreement.
The Commercial club has the affair in charge
| and liberal subscriptions are coming in. 1t is
hoped that all matters will be arranged before
the meeting of the trustees, about May 10, and
that action favorable to, Wahpeton will be taker

Fergus Falls, Mimi, May Agent Michelet
and the United States marshals who are attend
ing the spring term Of the federal court in this
city are not at all pleased with the recent
decision of the supreme court permitting the SAFE
OF liquor to Indians who hold lands In sever
atty. Its effects are already seen in this city,
many Indians being here as witnesses In the
federal court, and some of them going about
the streets in a drunken condition, whereas IN
past terms local saloon men who sold glass
Of liquor to Indian were promptly Drought
into court.
All except about a dozen Of the White Earth
reservation Indians hold their lands in severaity
and this reservation has heretofore furnished
nearly all of the liquor cases here The con-
sensus among officials seems to be that the best
thing that can be done Is to secure the enact
ment Of q national law providing that any
| Indian who leaves the reservation and returns
in an intoxicated condition shall be liable to
| term of imprisonment at hard labor.
The idea of the officials Is that the villages
which furnish the liquor to the Indians should
take care Of them when they are drunk. instead
| of sending them back to create disturbances
| among their fellow redskins.
Olaf A. Olson, the Pelican Rapids mail car
rier, who was accused of rifing letters en-
| trusted to him, entered a. plea OF guilty IN
the United States court in this city today, and
was brought down from Beaudette to answer
| to a charge Of timber stealing. also pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to thirty days IN
jail and to pay fine Of $40. Zachary Me-

Butte, Mont, May 4.-The heaviest snow
storm at this season of the year in the memory
Of the earliest settlers is sweeping southern
Montana and threatening the stock interests with
extensive losses. From three to four feet Of
snow, heavily laden with moisture, lies on the
level in the vicinity of Red Lodge, while high
in the mountains, now grazing points for cattle
the fall is believed to be heavier. ~
The storm broke yesterday and is still snow
ing slightly. All the stage routes are blocked
and communication Is cut off with remote Sec
tons. Hundreds of sheep undergoing
lambing in the sagebrush country will be lost,
according to apparently reliable reports, while
the cattle in the mountains are too feeble to
weather the storm, having but recently been
turned out from corrals and pens.
At Red Lodge the weight of roofs
is serious menace to property, and gangs
of men have been busy all day tops of bust
ness buildings. The roof of a blacksmith shop
caved in, and the Pony saloon building is in a
dlapidated condition, with its walls bullying
out from the weight on top. Snow on the roof
of a building owned by the Italian society
cracked the ceiling of the upper story.
Word from Avon, in the western part of the
| state, says snowstorm is raging there.
RED LODGE, MONT.-The storm is the worst
| for May In the history of this section, more
| than thirty inches Of snow having fallen In
