DECISION IN BELL
JARVIS CASE
REVERSED
Supreme Court Decision Seats $
MrsJarvis as Councilman
Y Of This City.

Sensations come thick and fast in
this city these days. The last is the
reversal of the case of Bell VS.. Jarvis
by the supreme court. the opinion in
which was handed down this morning.
Those who had even an elementary
knowledge of law and were conversant
with the facts, knew the decision
would be just what 1t is. The disap-
pointed ones are those who have ac-
cepted the wild and ridiculous state
ments in the west side morning sheet,
as even approximately true. From
the day the district court sat to hear
the case in East Grand Forks the
matter was settled.
The effects of the decision are that
Borchers. the alderman who was seat
ed under the order of the district
court, will be required to ivacate the
,Office SO soon as the opinion Of the
supreme court is fled. and Alderman
Jarvis will be restored to the rights
of the ONCE. and will be entitled to the
salary of the same since he was de-
posed under the order of the lower
court. Borchers will be required to
return the salary which he has re-
ceived. The costs Of the case Will be
recovered by Jarvis.

PRES. MERR|F|ELD.
RETURNS FROM
HIS VISIT
To High Schools of State
Conditions Excellent, Inter
est is Enthusiastic.

President Merrifield of the univer-
sity returned home today from the
southern portion of the state. The
president has been engaged for sew
eral weeks in the task of inspecting
the hundred or more high schools in
all parts of North Dakota. The annual
inspection is a laborious Job but by
the end of the month it is expected
that nearly all the schools will have
been visited. The last week the presl-
dent has spent along the main line of
the Northern Pacific and on the 500
towns near by. Lisbon. Lidgerwood.
Cakes, Wahpeton. Glendale and
Moore were removed from this years
visiting list and all were found in a
fiourishing condition In all the
schools visited the boards were maxi
ing plans for new equipment. newer
methods and a larger staff of teachers
for the coming year and within a very
few years North Dakota will be able
to stand in the limelight of publicity
with any state in the country and point
with pride to her public school sys-
tenn.
The state high school examinations,
sent out annually by the state univer-
sity. were returned from the printers
today and the work of fulfilling the
applications for the same is being en-
tered into with vigor. The applications
received for examination papers in
some subjects are almost triple the
number in any preceding year. For
example last year about 600 question
papers were mailed for English l ex-
aminations. This year applications for
1900 have been received at the univer-
sity. Next in importance to English
| come the mathematical subjects.
Elementary algebra leads in this
branch with 1,400 applications.
AS entrance to the University of
North Dakota can be secured by a GER
tificate of graduation from any first
class high school in the state, these
state examinations are in no LAY COM
pulsory. However. they can be substi-
tuted for the regular local examina-
tons and at the same time the student
is given certificate of passing and
credit for the subject is registered, SO
consequently they are becoming more
popular every day. This year the total
number sent out will reach close up
to the 10000 mark while last year but
10000 were sent out all together.

CROP REPORT ON
 WINTER WHEAT
The Newly Seeded Area is 1.1 Per Cent Greater Than In Transformation
 Made In Last Years Area.

Washington, December 10.-The crop reporting board of the bureau of statis- ties of the department of agriculture finds from the reports of the correspondents and agents of the bureau in conjunction with information derived from other sources that the estimate made last De- cember of the area sown to winter wheat in 1905 should have indicated 31,312.0 GOO acres dnstead of 3lSn 900 acres) also that last December's estimate of the area sown to winter rye in 1905 should have indicated 2100,00 acres Qnstead of 1,129,O00 acres).
 The corrected figures are used as basis in computing the area sown to each crop this fall.
 The newly seeded area of winter wheat is estimated as being II per cent greater than the area sown in the fall of 19O5- equivalent to an increase of 359, 900 acres, and total acreage of 31, 665,00O The con dition of winter wheat on December 1 was 9i.1, as compared with 94.1 on Decem- Der l. 1905, S2.9 at the corresponding date in 1904, and a nlne-year average of 929.

 Miles of the City.
SHOWN A RAILROAD CENTER

Washington December 0.-(Special)-
 Several months ago Representative Un-
 derwood secured from the geological sur
 vey an order for a survey of the Birming-
 ham quadrangle, and it is now completed
 in map form. In describing it the direc-
 tor says: The greater part of the city,
 with it's numerous suburban towns is
 shown in the lower righthand corner of
 the map. The system of electric car lines by which these outlying towns are con- nected with Birmingham is one of the
 best in the country. The various trunk
 lines represented on the map together
 with the shorter railroads that tap ad-
 jacent coal, iron, and timber lands, indi-
 cate the importance of Birmingham as a railroad center.
 Railroads are not the only public utility
 of which Birmingham may justly boast.
 It has a bountiful supply of water, and with the neghboring towns lays claim to
 numreous smelters, rolling mills, steel plants, coke ovens, and wire and nail factories.
 ! That part of the quadrangle north of latitude 33 degrees 35 minutes represents two distinct topographic features. These are broad, flat ridges breaking abruptly into canyons and narrow ridges greatly eroded. The broad ridges make fine farm ing lands of which the principal product is cotton. Peaches also afford bountiful and profitable crops, and indeed the cot
 ton and peaches may be grown together,
 thus doubling the revenue from the land. | The narrow ridges are wholly unfit for
 agricultural purposes. In both broad and - narrow ridges outcrops of coal are found. 1 Some of the mines opened here are | drifts and drain themselves, while a {, few are shafts and have to be pumped. | Most of the marketable timber in this region has been cut All that remains is a young growth of pine, whcih is
 used exclusively for props in the mines. The roads of this section are naturally good, and slag from the furnaces used as macadamizing material is rapidly im proving them.
 South of parallel 8 degrees 8 minutes. and to the west of Sand mountain, is country of less rugged topography. It also is an important coal field and a good farming district. Sand mountain stands out as a prominent landmark separating the coal field from broad, well-watered limestone valley where enormous crops of corn are grown and fine limestone quarries are worked. Through the cen ter of this valley and parallel to Sand mountain runs low ridge composed of chert and especially adapted to the grow ing of cotton. The roads in this vicinity are macadamized with chert taken from

Seek to Dissolve Injunction.

A motion to dissolve the injunction re- straining the sale of the New South Flow Works of this city, under mortgage was argued before Judge McCool of Kos euiske on Friday. The Merchants and Farmers bank of this city holds first mortgage on the plant and the plant was advertised to be sold under this mortgage on November 24 A day or two prior to that date c. R. Smith, who holds sec- pnd mortgage on the plant, applied to Judge McCool, through his attorney, for an injunction, restraining the sale. The injunction was granted, whereupon the att torneys for the bank filed a motion to dis solve and set aside the injunction. It was the motion to dissolve the injunction restraining the sale which was tried be- fore McCool At the conclusion of the argument Judge McCool decided to take the matter under advisement, saying that he would announce his final decision in the course of a few days

of land near this city, about 1000 acres

of land near this city, about 1000 acres in all.
 This land is partially located on the right of way of the Southern railway, beginning in the Stees neighborhood and extending beyond Vernon, Ala. Since the acquiring of this tract the Pennsylvania people have acquired several other large
 tracts It will require mill of the largest capacity fully fifteen or twenty years to cut the timber from their hold ings. The development of such an under
 taking is of no small matter and it will
 greatly interest the people of this city as to where the mill to saw up the logs will be located. It is the location of this mill which is of such interest to the cit izel., of Columbus. It is thought that II the proper efforts are put forth the Interstate Land company could be in- duced to erect the mill in this city. There are a number of locations which would
 be well suited for the mill and it would be gladly welcomed here. It would be a valuable acquisition to the citys indus trial enterprises The matter is being talked of freely here and it would not be surprising if efforts were put forth to get the company to locate their plants in
 this city.
