Mass Meeting Held and

David Clark, r. F. Woods and H. A.
Bate Comprise the Delegation.

On Monday March 18th it was re-
ported around town that Governor Sar-
les intended vetoing the School of For
estry bill which carries an approp1ia-
tion of SIS, 900 for the erection Of that
institution at Bottineau. Bills were
Immediately gotten out for mass
meeting to be held at the court house
to take steps to send a delegation to
the capitol city. The meeting, though
only about twenty five were present,
was representative one and after
electing David Clark president and j.
F. Haskett secretary, the discussion
of ways and means was taken up. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of those
present that Bottineau was entitled to
the appropriation, as about SIS, 1000
more was tied up which could not be
used until this bill is signed. Atten-
tion was called to the fact that nearly
every other state institution provided
for by the constitutional conven ton
was in operation and as the appropria-
tion bill for the Forestry school had
never before gone as far as the govern
or, it was up to our citizens to bring
pressure to bear on the governor to
have hi11 sign the bill. After going
over the question it was decided to
circulate petition, get as many sign
ers as possible and send a delegation of
five to Bismarck. David Clark, T. F.
Woods, W. H. Mcintosh, &c. L. New
house and VIM. Collins, were selected
but on account of business cares Mr..
Collins was unable to get away and
Fl. A. Bate, with the four other gent
lemen before named, is now at Bis
marck. The Courant telegraphed to
learn the results, if any, but up to
the time Of going to pre- ss we have re-
ceived no word. We, however, have
reason to hope that something has been
done as, while the Forestry bill was
said to be among the first to be vetoed,
the dispatches show that it has not as
yet been among the bills to fall VIC
tim to the pruning knife.

in in by having the depot out in the

men should have remained out of the
company or else resigned their posi-

On the other hand these members
OF the company say that they had

H. o. Rolfs is selling Hyomei upon

the money if the medicine does not

consists of an inhaler that can be car

inhaler will last lifetime and there is
enough Hyomei for several weeks

Defends Board.
c. P. Reynolds of Chicago, member
of the board from the First district.
said in explaining the removal of Mr..
Hostetter:
The board has been greatly annoy
ed and incensed by the actions of its
secretary. Mr.. Hostetter was an en-
pioye. He was paid by the board out
of the funds at its disposal. 1t was
his duty to work to the interests of
the board and it's objects. He should
have supported and attempted to carry
out in good faith all the policies of
the board. He did not do this. He
had been putting blocks in the path
of the board.
Some time ago we decided to turn
over our circulating libraries TO a IL
brary extension board, provided the
legislature authorized the creation of
such an organization. Mr.. Hostetter
saw in the removal of this library a
danger to his tenure of office. With
out the library to attend to there
would be little work in his depart
ment. He Immediately set about to
counteract the policy of the board. He
talked among the members of the leg
islature against the institutes bills.
He talked against them at the county
institutes and wrote letters to news
papers asking for support. He spent
time and money belonging to the in
stitute in thus fighting the institute.
Members Aroused.
Naturally the members of the
board were aroused. We found that
changes had been made in the records
of the Office and of the meetings.
There were several other things that
increased the ire of the board against
Mr.. Hostetter. So great was the feel
ing that the board came to Spring
field and decided to GUST him bodily.
He was permitted. as an act of cour-
tesy, to appear. and when he did ap-
pear, he read his resignation and made
his charges. If Mr.. Hostetter says he
was promised reelection provided he
would support the institutes bill he
says what is not true. The board of
directors never made such a PROPOSE
ton 10 him and never thought of doing
so. The board long ago decided to
dispense with him.

est motives to Mr.. Hopkins or the
