Cass County Board Of Commissioners
Pass Resolutions MemoriaMzing.

THSS RESOLUTIONS MemOrl0NZ1DK.
At the meeting of the Cass county
board of commissioners the matter of
the bill before congress, providing for
the appropriation of 100000 for
drainage in the Red river valley, was
discussed and the board took definite
action by passing the following resolu-
tons:
Whereas, There are millions of
acres of fertile lands in the Red river
valley which are rendered valueless
for agricultural purposes each year
by reason of inadequate drainage; and
Whereas, We deem it Of the ut
most Importance to the citizens of this
county and of the entire state that
suitable drainage be established at the
earliest practicable time throughout
said valley, but which cannot be ac-
complished without the aid of the ma
tional government;
Now, therefore, Be it resolved, that
our senators and representatives in
congress be and they are hereby most
respectfully petitioned and requested
w NSS ga AOuOl0U luC1A6 Ill kllt3IE
power to obtain assistance from the
national government for the establish
ment of such drainage;
And be it further resolved, that a
copy of these resolutions be by the
clerk of this board transmitted to
each of our members of congress from
this state.
The board spent most of the after
noon passing upon reports Of county
officials and allowing bills.
The county auditor was authorized
to advertise for bids for steel furni-
ture and steel counters, bids to be re-
ceived up to March 8.
The matter Of decorations for the
interior of the new court house was
discussed, but no contract was let.
While the North Dakota Decorating Co.
bid seems to meet with most favor, the
board has not let any contract to any
firm for decorations. The board ad-
journed yesterday afternoon to March.

TRY CREsOTE BLOCKS.
Fargo VIII Use the Block Paving On
Trial.

Creosote blocks will be given trial
in Fargo. At the meeting of the city
council the city engineer was INSTRUCT
ed to prpeare plans and specifications
for the paving of N. P. avenue in front
of the city hall and as far west as the
center line of Roberts stree. The pur-
pose is to give the paving a thorough
trial and have the cost of the expert
ment borne. entirely by the city.
A plan of extending the creosote
paving to the west line of Eighth street
was suggested but it was argued that
such plan would be unfair to the
property owners inasmuch as the i'm
provement would be in the nature of 4
costly experiment
! The plans and specifications of the
city engineer for the repaving of
Broadway from the Northern Pacific
to the Great Northern tracks were ap-
proved and resolution of necessity
was adopted. In reply to queries, City
Engineer Crabbe stated that the plans
required the very best five inch cedar
blocks to be used.

The REMAINS
Of A MAN
FOUND
Greenbush Man Found in Hor-
rible Condition on
Prairie.

Martin Anderson, who is in the EN-
ploy Of L. K. Adams, who OWNS a
small cattle ranch about 25 miles
northeast Of Greenbush, passed
through the city last evening enroute
to his home near Sioux Falls, s. D.,
and reported the discovery two days
before he left of the remains of some
unfortunate laborer or farmer. He
was rounding up the cattle for, the
night and two miles from his house
came across the, remains Of body
which had been lying there, evidently
since the early part of the winter, as
it had been gnawed beyond all recog-
milton by wolves.
Anderson reported the matter to
the neighbors, who were instructed to
report the CHASTITY find to the proper
authorities. There were no means of
Identification, barring an empty en-
velope which was addressed to Sig
ward Hanson, but the postoffice mark
had been torn off. Anderson was
called to Sioux Falls by the illness of
his mother and did not wait for an in
vestigation.

FINE PUBLIC HALL.
Being Erected at Bismarck for Com.
mercial Club and Offices.

Bismarck Tribune: Work is pro-
crossing rapidly on the upper floor of
the new Patterson building on Main
street. 1t is expected the big hall will
be finished by Friday evening. This
hall is 50x70 feet in size, has a fine
hardwood floor, high ceiling with
dome in the center, alcove in the
north end for music, cloak and toilet
rooms for both ladies and gentlemen
and is altogether perfect in all it's ar
rangements. The walls are painted in
delicate tints and the ceiling is nicely
frescoed. The base of the dome is
circled with electric lights, with
cluster in the apex thereof, while
strings Of lights cross the ceiling,
there being over 100 in all, SO at night
the hall ought to be as light as day.
The east room in the front of the
building is being handsomely fitted up
for the. use of the Commercial club.
The walls are delicate shade of
green merging into light gray in the
ceiling. 1t is fitted up with toilet
rooms and has spacious cloak room.
The furniture is expected soon and
when all is in place the club will
have charming headquarters. The
other front on the west side has been
cut up into four comfortable office
rooms ensuite, which will be occupied
by Attorney T. R. MoclSler, and, like
the balance OF the building, these are
finished in handsome style as to wall
and ceiling decoration and modern
conveniences.

in Minot who would build were It not
for the exorbitant prices asked by the
lumber trust. Prices have advanced,
then they have advanced again until
the poor man has to give up his idea
of building altogether and live on in
his rented house. OF course there was
cause for some slight advance in the
past few years because Of the increas-
ed amount of building that is going
on and because lumber is beginning to
get scarce. but the fact of its doubling
In the past two or three years is SIM
ply outrageous. The contractors are
none to- easy on the builders either and
are beginning to get their prices high
er than they ought to be. A great deal
more building would be done this
summer than actually will be done
were it not for the high prices of lum-
Der and labor"

the Canadian Northern to operate
freight and passenger trains between
International Falls and Winnipeg, and
in view OF this agreement. It is al
most a certainty that the road will,
be built into here. u. ID
By building direct to Beaudette but
twenty-five miles would be saved, and
this at the sacrifice Of q considerable
freight tonnage which could be Sc
cured on the Rainy river and its tribu-
taries.
The Duluth article also stated that
the contract for the construction of
the line had been let, but as no survey
has ever been made this does not
seem at all probable. Besides, mort
gage recorded with the register Of
deeds at Grand Rapids covers the
route from Virginia to International
Falls, the main, clause Of which reads:
The said main line Of railroad with
in the state of Minnesota, now owned
or hereafter to be constructed or ac-
CURED by 1T, commencing at or near
the city of Virginia, In st. Louis coun-
ty,;and extending in northerly direc-
ton by way Of Nermillion lake, Peli-
can lake, Ash lake Kabetogama lake
to a point near the village of Inter
national Falls"
The mortgage covers the road bed,
track. rolling stock, spurs, depots, etc,
and is for $2,OO0.000, the Illinois Trust
& Savings bank being the trustee.
Taken altogether, it is said by those
who are in a position to know, that the
report that International Falls is to be
given the cold shoulder is entirely err
roneous. Work on the extension of
the road is expected to begin early
In the spring. and it is thought that
before next winter trains will be run
ming from Dulath to Winnipeg, via
International Falls.

OF Deputies In Offices of County Audi
tor and Register Of Deeds.

The board of county commissioners,
at their meeting, fixed the salaries of
the deputies in the offices of the coun-
ty auditor and register of deeds at
$S5 per month, which is the amount
they had received prior to the time
when the old board cut them down to
$35 and later, to be strictly within the
law, increased it to $50 The raise
is to begin from January 1, 1906.
The bills of the Grand Forks Herald
and Walker Bros. & Hardy, which
were held up by the old board, were
allowed.
The county surveyor was instructed
to prepare plans for the steel fixtures

vertise for bids for supplying the
same.

BRAKEMAN INJURED.
Vernon Harrington, Brakeman on the
Great Northern Has Marrow Escape.

While the local freight train on the
Great Northern was picking up cars
at Knox, Vernon Harrington, the rear
brakeman, met with very painful ac-
cident which came near costing him
his life. The signal had been given
to go forward and Harrington stood
by the side track until the train
should get a good start. He did not
notice a light engine coming along
until it struck him, knocking him
down. Luckily he did not fall in
under the cars and escaped with a
badly, bruised ankle and wrist. He
was brought to the hospital in Minot,
where he is at present confined.

Grangerville (Idaho) extension is the
only construction for which any CON

showed tennis that would have won easily
had he been able to continue the play, but
numerous double faults and the almost in

fact, Larned let Behr beat himself
