Fargo, N D., Dee. 22.-Fargo is to
do some more experimenting for wa
ter supply. The situation has become
so serious that a water commission was
appointed by the council, which has re-
ported in favor Of trying to sink arte-
sian wells near the present waterworks
from which water can DO pumped into
the city mains instead of from the Red
river
Many families are compelled to have
( three kinds of water for their homes.
The supply from the river is rarely
used either for cooking or drinking,
except by persons too poor to get any
thing else. The river has degenerated
with the water running from the rich
black loan fields into the river, soon
makes it assume a chocolate appear
ance. The further fact that Wahpeton,
ffty-four, miles. up thee stream. dumps
its sewage into the river, does not have
tendency to make people believe the
water is in any way improved. In the
summer the water is supposed to purify
itself before reaching Fargo, but in
the winter, with the ice two to three
feet thick, there is not great depth
left in the stream, and it becomes little
more than q sewer. -s,si}s ., r. =: -

After paying for city water and buy
ing artesian, those who can afford it,
purchase spring water from Minnesota
and elsewhere.
If a sufficient supply can be found
near the waterworks for Fargo's re-
to purchase spring water. The test is
by no means certain of success, for ge-
ologists seem to doubt the continuance
of tho present artesian supply. Per-
haps it is not true artesian water,

Moorhead, Too, in Like Boat.
The popular idea to get a water sup
ply is to pipe it from some lake in Min
nesota, thirty-five to fifty miles east
of this city. Such a plan is not within
Fargo g present financial powers. and
it is unlikely a private company would
undertake it, unless Fargo sacrificed it's
present system of mains, which have
been put in by the municipality at
much cost: It would probably also re-
quire a, similar arrangement with the
city Of Moorhead, which also owns it's
waterworks system and is struggling
with the same problems which confront
this city, .~~

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 21.-Unity in
Christianity is the feeling prevailing
in certain church circles in this city,
and practical demonstration was
give last night when the congregations
Of - the Presbyterian and Baptist
churches decided to join forces The
arrangement is to be, in effect for six:
months, beginning Jan. l, and if it
manent.
This is the first time in the church
history Of the northwest, that congre-
cations Of two distinct denominations
have samalgamated. Several towns in.
Wisconsin are considering similar
unions. n,tHs -.s-: -. - ;
Since the death of DIR. j. w. Camp
bell a few weeks ago, the Presbyterian
church has been without pastor.
Services have been held every Sunday,
however, pastors Of other churches fill
ing the pulpit by invitation. In all
these services, there has been marked
somebody to take the lead to bring
the matter to climax. G. M. l.. Er-
win, an elder of the Presbyterian
church, took the initiative after hear
ing Rev. G.. F. Bronson speak at one
Of the services. :..orrf-' 80:
Mr.. Bronson is pastor Of the Baptist
church and is popular. Mr.. Erwin
asked his opinion about making an at
tempt to join the congregations under
one head. and the minister agreed it
would be a good thing. " T., .
Meetings were held by the trustees
Of both churches, and last night the
matter was submitted to the eongre-
cations. The plan was properly sub
mitted and when put to vote, both
congregations decided unanimously in
favor of Joining forces The Baptist
congregation led by its pastor, then
went to the Presbyterian church to hold
a unity service, and the visitors were
welcomed by the latter congregation
singing Coward, Christian Soldiers. -
A rousing service was held and unan-
imous call was extended to Rev. c. F.
Bronson to take charge Of the new and
increased congregation. ~ e"
The first service under the new ar.
rangement will be held Jan. 6, and the
Presbyterian church has been designa-
ted as the usual place of meeting.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 22.-The Wis

change in the government Of the nor
NAL school: system, the principal effect
OF which will be to have five instead Of
tsarily be residents of normal school
towns. 4f.1s g7f,H trsstss+i "Fa*: t~sr:. NJ
J The reason extended for this request,
In The MAN,: is that a. system of such
nature has grown up as to- make gpos-
slble the scandal over the removal Of
President Pray Of the ] Stevens Point
,normal school. y = r y t,,:..-,.. :.
- Senatorial Courtesy -.
There is no certain provision in the
present laws that the regents must be
appointed from the normal school
towns, but that custom has grown up
into such a precedent that it cannot be
overcome. until now the policy of ," sen
atorial courtesy obtains to such de-
gree that each school is governed al
most absolutely by its local agent.
/. Ut: the ten members: 3.of the present
board OF regents, seven are appointed
from the seven cities where the normal
schools are located and three from the
state at large. : In, dividing the work
of the board, each local regent is, thru
courtesy, granted the supervision of
his home school, and it would be in vio-
lation of this rule of courtesy which
prevails at the board meetings for any
member to make close inquiry into any
part of: the management. of the school
belonging to another regent.
The retirement Of. President Pray, Of
TO Stevens Point normal school at the
request of the regent living at that city
is an example Of the results of this Gus
tom, it is said, and would indicate that
the interests Of the schools are not
looked after by the entire board.
';' = Urged to Do It. = -. =.
Since the Pray incident the teachers
OF the state have been urged to take
formal action . in recommending a
change ip the system. BY reducing
the board from ten to FIVE, at least two
schools would be left without local re-
gents and soon the practice of appoint
ing men from normal school towns
would stop and all. the members Of the
board would be expected to look after
the interests of all the schools jointly.
