A YOUNG GIRL IN ONTARIO HAD
WRITTEN TO AN ABsENE
SWEETHEART AND THE DEAD

Here is a story of a man who came
near being more fortunate after deata
than when he was alive. He was E. q.

tauck lodging house, No. 80 Montgomery
street, on Tuesday morning last He
had been for long while employed as
a barker" in front of the entrance OK

posite Cooper place. His body was takp
en- to Hughes's morgue Here the
morgue keepers discovered letters in the
pockets of his clothing addressed to Ed
ward G. Routhier" One of these was
long missive written by ''EsteIs
Keays," from Point Edward. Ontario.
It was evidently written by young girl
to a young man for whom she cared a
great deal. describing the great time she
was having during the great Canadian
ice, snow and skating carnivals, depior-
ing the absence of young Routhier ana
begging him to return home and share
the great sport with her
These letters were promptly turned
over by Mr.. Hughes to Chief Of Police
Murphy, who wired "Estelle Keays' of
the death of "E. c. Routh.'' A telegram
signed by A. Mcfarland, Sarnia, ONT,
was received in reply to the Chiefs tele-
gram, instructing that the body be em-
balmed and the best care possible taken

Hoard Of Education's Com
mittee Will Tomorrow
Deal With the School
No. 10 Transfer.
WILL NOT TAKE FINAL ACTION
CHANGE WAS MADE WITHOUT
MISS B'RosT's KNOWLEDGE
AND is SAID TO HAVE RESULT
ED FROM FRICTION BETWEEN
HER AND THE VICE PRINCI-
PAL.

Tomorrow afternoon the Board of Ed
ucation's Committee on Teachers, com
posed of Directors Ridgeway, Ramsey
and Hermann will meet and discuss the
protests against the recent transfer of
Miss Frost, principal of 10 school TO the
prineipalship of No. 16 school. They will
not take final action, but will determine
what steps should be taken in the mat.
ter.
The transfer was made without the
knowledge of Mrs. Frost, and Director
Bernard j. Tully, committeeman of No.
10 school, voted on it, supposing that
Miss Frost had been consulted and the
transfer was agreeable to her. She was
transferred to No. 16 to succeed the
venerable principal, Miss Sarah L. Gard
ner, who with the veteran Principal
George L. Linsley, of No. l school, took
advantage of the act passed several
years ago in the interest of Mr.. Linsley,
and was retired at her own request on
half pay after serving forty years in one
school district. Miss Frost was succeed
ed by Miss Mary Davies, of No. %, and
Miss Mary f. Murray was appoiRted
to succeed Miss Davies.
A merry row followed the transfer of
Miss Frost from No. 10 to No. 16. 1t
developed that the transfer had been
made because friction existed between
Miss Frost as principal of No. 10 and
Miss Agnes Gibson as vice-principaL
Miss Frost objectedto the transfer. Afew
days after the transfer Miss Frost, ac-
companied by large delegation from the
Mothers Club of the Hudson City seq
ton, the Rev. Dr. J. G. Iuehrs, pastor
of st. Johns German Evangelical
Church, and School Director Tuily, COM
mitteeman of No. 10, called upon Mayor
Fagan and protested against the trans
fer. Petitions signed by all the teachers
of No. 10 School and nearly every parent
of the pupils of the school, asking that
the resolution ordering the transfer be
rescinded The Mayor is powerless in
the matter, but told the delegation that
he would look into the matter and if he
saw no good reasons for the transfer he
would advise the resembling of the trans
fer resolution
The contention of the Board is that
the transfer was made on account of the
friction existing between the principal
and the vice-principal. and that it was
made in the interest of discipline in the
school. Directors say that they could
not appoint Miss Gibson as Miss Frost's
successor, as she is not on the eligible list
for principalship, and that if they had
transferred her some other vice-principal
would also have been discommoded.

Williams Insurance,

Grand Forks Herald: Twenty-four
thousand dollars of insurance was ear
ried on the life of the late Maurice F.
Williams. OF this amount $1,000 was
in fraternal organizations, $1,000 in
the Northwestern Mutual, and $4,000
known as corporation insurance, taken
out by the Northwestern Port Huron
Co., and made payable to that COM
pany, also in the Northwestern Mutual
co. Two years ago the Northwestern
Port Huron Co. bought the business
OF the Fargo Storage & Transfer Co..
paying Mr.. Williams $4,000 for the
good will of the company, of which he
was the head. In order to protect itself
the compny took out a policy of ;nsur-
ance for that amount on Mr.. Williams
life. In premiums the company had
paid $500. Corporation insurance is
a new feature in this section. but is
used largely by. large corporations
who depend largely on the services If
any particular person.

BURGLARiZED TWO STORES.
Thieves Get in Their Work at Ciiffor,

Thieves Get in Their Work at Clifford
and Taft, Near HiIisboro.
Hillsboro, N. D., The robberies of
stores at Clifford and Taft herald the
spring arrival of burglars and robbers
in Trail county. Senator Kraabel's
store at Clifford, in the western part
of the county, was entered and all the
money in the cash register, amount
ing to s25, taken.
Following the burglary of the Cliff
ford store occurred the robbery of the
farmers store at Taft, a siding two
miles north of Hillsboro. At the Taft
store $50 had been left over night in
the safe which had not been locked.
The burglars easily effected an en-
trance, and besides taking the money,
secured two gold watches and some
gold rings.
Sheriff Olson at Hillsboro was not
notified until the next day and has on
ly slim clew to work upon. He has
notified all the police in nearby towns,
and with his deputies is making a
systematic search.

Alien Heir. and Homestead,.

Z
Judge Kneeshaw has handed down a
decision that covers q point that has
never been decided by the supreme
court of this state and is of consider
able Importance. The Judge holds
that alien heirs of a diseased home
steader cannot take an interest in his
homestead. The case involved was
tried in Bottineau county and is en-
titled Mrs. Gurine Romstad VS.. Ole
Langvandet. Back in 1899 Miss Marie
Langvandet, a daughter Of the plain
tiff, filed on a piece of government
land in Bottineau county. Before
proving up she died and Mrs. Gurine
Romstad, one of five cousins of the
deceased living in this county and
naturalized, proved up on the land. the
patent being issued to the heirs of
Miss Marie Langvandet. The father. a
brother and three sisters of the de-
ceased live in Norway, and the father
laid claim to the land, to quit title.
with the result that the five cousins
are given possession of the land, while
the nearer relatives are cut out be-
cause of the fact that they are no..
residents Of this country.-Harvey

GOVERNOR WILL BE THERE.

Advices from Seattle Says That Cover

cepted Invitation to Meet Steamer
Dakota.
Seattle, Wash, May &C. F. Whal-
ey, chairman of the local committee
in charge of the arrangements for the
reception of the steamship Dakota, ex-
pected in Seattle some time next
month, extended an invitation to the
governors of North and South Dakota
to be present and each has accepted.
In the communication from Cover
nor s. j. Elrod of Pierre, a suggestion
is offered that provision be made for a
large delegation from that state, which
is expected to come along. 1t is also
expected there will be an excursion
from North Dakota.
The committee plans a similar turn
out as was given at the time the Min
nesota arrived, to end a banquet at
the Washington hotel, in honor of the
officers of the boat on her initial trip.
James J. Hill has promised the com
mittee he will be present and if so it
is probable he will deliver an address
from the bow of the steamer shortly
after she ties to the wharf.

DOING GOOD WORK.
State Engineer Fellows Kept Busy by
People Who Want Irrigation.

State Engineer Fellows Kept Busy by
People Who Want Irrigation.
State Engineer Fellows is a very
busy man these days. When the Office
was created by the legislature last
winter several members thereof were
heard to remark, Another soft snap
is being created for some one" At
any rate the Office was created, and
Mr.. Fellows, who nobody in this vicini-
ty knew, was appointed on the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Storrs and other
engineers of the government. He is
one of the quietest men, ever, absorbed
in his work, and to the regret of the
reporters, has to be pumped for
news. For instance: 1t was by the
merest chance that the Tribune learn
ed that the matter of irrigation has
been taken So seriously by many farm
ers and ranchers in the western part
of the state that they actually want to
spend their own money in private irri-
cation projects! Mr.. Fellows is in re-
ceipt of five applications for right to
take water from streams from resi-
dents of Bowman county, two from
Emmons, and others from Stark,
Oliver, Morton, Mercer, and other
counties. Aside from this class of cor
respondence Mr.. Fellows has a mass
of letters of inquiry to answer which
has necessitated the Employment of a
stenographer and at the rate work is
piling up in the engineers Office he
will either be tied down to Office work
alone or he will have to have an as
sistant. To those who have been
"agitators" of irrigation in this state
the growth of the proposition is most
encouraging. They realize that all
good things have had to fight their
way to popular favor. When the tele-
phone and electric light plants were
suggested for Bismarck there were
enough predictions Of failure to dis
courage most promoters, but time has
demonstrated the city could not do
without them. So will it be with this
Bismarck Irrigation project-after it
is established all hands will wonder
why anybody kicked.
In the meantime Reclamation En-
gineer Storrs and State Engineer Eel
lows will meet the farmers at Nesson
on the 10th Of this month, at which
time water users association may be
formed and third irrigation project
in this state started under the aus
pieces Of the government.
