Experim0nted with Rust,

The Minneapolis Journal says that
c. G. Dalrymple, has just finished ex-
perimenting with rusted wheat as
seed, at a number of stations on the
Dalrymple farms in North Dakota.
The results bear out the tests of the
Jewell people at Lake City and other
experimenters and prove that seed
wheat from rusted fields may be used
with satisfactory results as to ger
mination.
The Dalrymple tests were more ex-
tensive than an" made heretofore.
At Gardner. n. D., sixty kernals
were sown. Up to yesterday fifty
five had appeared and this morning
a wire to Mr.. Dalrymple reported
four more coming above ground.
Thus only one of the sixty failed to
germinate.
at Casselton, out Of fifty kernels
sown, forty-eight appeared, and at
Kelso fozty-nine came up out Of fifty.
The Gardner. Casselton and Kelso
tests represent various stages OF the
rust damage as it appeared on the
different farms that make up the ex-
tensive Dalrymple holdings.
In every case the rusted wheat,
before used for seed, was put thru
tanning m II.
How this rusted wheat will stand
up against other wheat thru the
weather extremes and general crop
hardship ofan ordinary growing Sea-
son, still remains to re seen. but that
It will come up and start OF as we'll
as any cannot be doubted. :. 4.
Many farmers incline to the view
that wheat from rusted wheat that
went thru the punishment Of last
year's bad season, should prove hardy
ana able to- Withstand the next sea-s
.son'6 hardships 10 good shape.

COLLEGE TO Be REMOVED
Arguments Raised Against AmalQam.
alton of University with Another
Institution.

After session lasting until about
! O'Clock this morning the board Of
trustees Of the Red River Valley Uni
versity decided by decisive vote
that the seat of the institution
should be removed from Wahpeton.
That decision was not reached with
out good deal of debate and some
forcible arguments on both sides of
the question. The board was unable
to come to any agreement as to where
to locate the institution at this time
and adjourned to meet at the call Of
the president.
Hon. NJ. N. johnson of Petersburg
Offering the following resolution:
"Resolved, that we advise the re-
moval of the university from Wahpe-
tOn.'
President Robertson was requested
to state his reasons for desiring a
change and for amalgamation with
the state university and in response
he read carefully prepared paper on
the subject.
Hon. W. E. Purcell on behalf of the
city of Wahpeton, made strong ar
gument in favor of keeping the in IT,
tuition at Wahpeton.
He was followed by Rev. Baker Of
the Methodist church at Wahpeton.
who spoke of the advantages of Wah-
peton as compared with Grand Forks
and referred to DR.. Robertson's
management of affairs as the head of
the university.
In the afternoon Rev. DR. f. G.
Leonard of the First church at Fargo
was called upon to represent the
board Of trustees in stating their
position with regard to removal and
their reasons for the proposed change.
Mr.. Leonard's remarks were upon
broad lines and were listened to very
closely. He believed that fifteen
years had demonstrated that mis-
take had been made in locating the
university at Wapheton. He did not
believe it advisable to continue the
mistake. Mr.. Leonard admitted that
during the four years he has. been in
the state he has favored the removal
of the university from Wapheton be-
cause he believed that the insti-
tuition 1as not a success in its pre-.
sent location and to him it did not
appear that it could be made as great
a success there as elsewhere.
r. NJ. Hamilton spoke in behalf of
the Co nmercial club of Fargo, stat
ing that the club had made no at
tempt to secure subscriptions and did
not propose to place the matter upon
a commercial basis, but when the
proper time came, the club could be
depended upon to back the school,
should it be located at Fargo. Mr..
remarks were devoted
largely to the relations of the Metho-
dist college of Victoria which ama]a-
gamated with the Toronto univer-
siGy, a state institution somewhat in
a similar manner as il is proposed
that the Methodist college of North
Dakota shall be joined with the
state university. Mr.. Hamilton read
a letter from graduate of the
Toronto university. Methodist who
attended Victoria college, and pre-
sented very strong Arguments against
the amalgamation. He stated that it
was a failure and was recognized as
such by Methodists of Ontario.

Of the house a wise selection was

ssInstead of there being one or two
leaders on the floor Of the house as
formerly, there are now many capable

longer applicable. The legislative

RECENT RAIL WAY RUM0RS

Surveys Made Last Summer.

face, as spring approaches, that point
to the Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany undertaking a great deal OF
construction and building work at
Jamestown and other points along
the line of the Dakota division. The
growth of the country is surprising
ard the railroad company sees a ne
cessity of being able to meet future
demands for transportation services.
Superintendent Butt has recommend
ed large amount Of work for the
division while no authority has yet
been given to 60 ahead, the same is
expected in a short time. Among
the possible Improvements for 1905
is an elegant new passenger depot
for Jamestown, plans for which have
been prepared for sometime.
The authority has been given for
the construction at Valley City of a
two stall enigne house for the use IF
engines employed to help regular
trains at that point and for switch
ing. s..s = : ri
r. Ties are being shipped up the
Jamestown and Northern and vest
ward to Goodrich for the extension
of the Sykeston branch toward the
Missouri river. A large number Of
ties have already been sent up the
line and work is expected to begin
shortly. ,.- a-
Last summer numerous surveys
were made with the announced in
tentlon OF finding an easier grade
across the James and Sheyenne rivers
at jamestown and Valley City. Es-
Inmates of the cost of bridging the
James river at this point were also
made but the expense was found to
be too great for that plan of escaping
the grades. It is now stated that
the most feasible plan as far as the
James river grade goes, has been dis
covered by survey beginning north Of
Jamestown on the Devils Lake branch
about three miles. where an easy
grade onto the table land can be had
and then line running west from
ten to fifteen miles north of the main
line has been found which runs thru
practically level country. The sur,
vey has been staked out. and the line
again joins the main line at a point
near Dawson or possibly a little west
at Steel. This our-on would avoid
about twenty miles of the steepest
grade and would, also give shipping
facilities to a new part Of the coun-
try where farmers now have to- haul
long distances.
+ Another contemplated improve
ment reported in tile yards Of this
city is the extension of round house
and shop facilities north Of the pros
ent location. Additional track room
is expected to be made on the north
for the increase of traffic that the
branch extensions and growth Of the
country will require. R

The new sidewalk at the First
National Bank building is gray,
color which will not produce
the glare which is produced by
the whittier walks. 1t fills up the
