Fargo, N. D., June 2-The drainage survey

as possible. He regrets the failure of all
| counties to join in the movement, but, as the

| good work can be done. There is Il movement
In North Dakota to have a small percentage
of the funds assigned to this state diverted
to drainage, and If this succeeds something
can be done to relieve conditions in the Red
| River valley.
| The presence of Architect Bell Of Helena in
Fargo has revived the rumors of an action
against the county by the Montanan. His plans
| for the Cass county courthouse were adopted and
he was engaged also to supervise construction.
The new board Of county commissioners removed
him from the latter position, and a suit is
| threatened.
