University Removal Coming Up.

One of the matters to be decided by the con-
ference will be the future of the Methodist
university. Since the last conference the presi-
dent and the trustees have closed the institu-
tion which had made hopeless struggle at
Wahpeton for fourteen years. This matter is
complicated, and it is not clear what will be
determined. 9 -nH5E~ .s.'s-! - -..
President Robertson hopes to have the tnsti-
tuition re-established at Grand Forks in arrilia-
ton with the state university He has some
of the former students Of his college now at
the state university.
Prior to the decision to remove from Wahpe-
ton DR.. Robertson had raised an endowment
fund of $4,000 Since the idea to 60 to Grand
Forks became fixed, he has attempted to raise
another $4,000. OF this latter sum he has
only 5000, and that includes the donation by
the citizens Of Grand Forks, presumably $4,000.
OF the former $4,000 subscribed much will be
uncollectable because the subscriptions were Sc
cured for the school at Wahpeton. The removal
1nyalidates many Of the subscriptions, tho 1t
is not known what percentage.
The lack of financial backing is great handi-
cap, and the future Is not as bright as the
parttzans of the plan wish tH
Added to this difficulty the trustees imposed
a time limit of sixty days in which the money
was to be raised for the transfer of the univer-
s1ty to Grand Forks. The time has expired and
the fund is not in sight. Some insist this prac.
t1caly kills the university plan and that the
old organization is dead. 90
DR.. Robertson, however, is persistent and op-
timistic and believes he will yet succeed ID his
favorite plan, .. - %.A

Three years ago Carl Melum came to Mich1-

Owing to a strike in the Michigan mines he
was thrown out Of employment and wrote to
friend at Rugby this state, asking about the
chances for a livelihood in North Dakota. He
was advised to come on at once, and in the let
ter his friend told him that he had met his
father but few days before and that he was
living near Crookston. e.-'
Carl Melum reached Grand Forks yesterday
and found his way to the law office of j. A.
sorley. He asked the attorney if he knew his
father, and gave him all the particulars that
he knew Of the marriage in Norway. He told
of an unsuccessful search he had made in the

to find his father. a. ... D..

weakened and admitted that he had abandoned
family there. Knowing that the son intended
to go to Rugby, sorley went to the station to
intercept him, the father agreeing to remain in
the city over night. Without the knowledge Of
the attorney Melum. also visited the station,
