RELIEVE CROWDED
CONDITION Of
SCHOOLS
Board of Education Held a
Meeting and Talked Over
Matter Last Night.
ONE MORE BUILDING
Is Necessary, and Very Proba-
BILE That Work Will be
Commenced Soon.
ONE MORE BUILDING

At meeting of the board of edu-
cation held last evening, the matter
of another school to relieve the con-
dition in the Central school building
was thoroughly discussed. The mat
ter has been up before the board for
some time past, but now that it has
taken hold of the proposition, some
arrangements will be made very soon.
The plan that seems to be favored
by the board is the erection of another
grade school. The high school and
the grade school at the Central are
over crowded, and with the erection
of another grade school, this could be
relieved. Every room in the Central
school building is crowded and another
building is needed.
The matter will be taken up again
at meeting to be held next week.

some choice selections and, helped to
a great extent in the enjoyment Of the
evening.
The ice surface was in excellent
condition, not too hard for the dull
skates and not too soft for the dull
skater. Sorenson and Raymond, the
owners are to be congratulated for the
fine surface on the opening night, for
it was only after several night and
day shifts with the hose that had been
at work that anything like real good
ice was to be obtained.
The crowd at the opening night
was typical Grand Forks "bunch"-
all jolly and lively, and with pleasure
and enjoyment delineated in every
line of these features.

ad the petition comes as surprise
to those outside of Wahpeton. They,

TO CHANGE THE BOUNDARIES
incorporated Cities Should Have the
Right to Change Existing Ward
Lines After Incorporation.

One Of the existing evils in the laws
governing the boundary lines Of wards
in the smaller cities of the state will
be remedied II bill covering remedy
is adopted by the legislature.
Since the meeting held in Grand
Forks by incorporated cities adjourned
attention has been called to the law
which needs revision, and that is the
measure which provides that when
villages are graduated into Incorporate
ed cities the incorporated city is not
given the power to alter the boundaries

Dec. Is. 1t will involve increases in
pay on nearly all the lines. Engineers
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific will probably be the only ones
who will not ask for higher pay, their
wages being already as high as what
the proposed schedule will ask. Even
on these lines, however, a raise will be
asked for the switch engineers. 1
think the railroads and the brother
hood will come to an understanding
without difficulty, and that there will
be no disturbance in the handling of
the traffic."

made.
The board of county commissioners
are also empowered to hire one or
more persons for the purpose of
watching drains and making repairs
whenever necessary.

in effect from and after its passage
and approval.
The bill was drawn up by State
Engineer A. L. Fellows, but during
the past several weeks Attorney Rex
of Grand Forks has been engaged In
making a number If changes In It,
cutting it down about one third. Just
what the convention will do with the
matter is hard to tell, but 1t will come
up again tomorrow for final decision.
Should the convention recommend
it's presentation to the legislature,
such a step will be taken. It is the
purpose of the act to simplify the
present law, which is very cumber-
some.
The drainage convention program
was delayed considerably. The late
trains made it necessary to adjourn
until this afternoon. The welcoming
address was delivered, which was fol-
lowed by an address by President
Cashel, in which he made number of
valuable suggestions. The attendance
is good, and among those present are
some of the most prominent drainage
| men.

The news will come as a shock to
the many North Dakota friends of
Bishop McCabe, who is we'll known
throughout the state. He attended
the Methodist conference at Valley
City just a couple of months ago, and
at that time became we'll acquainted
with the Methodist workers all over
North Dakota.
Bishop McCabe is regarded as one
of the most earnest church workers
in the United States. He was a
powerful speaker, and his many
friends in North Dakota will pray for
his early recovery.
Bishop McCabe was in Grand Forks
about three years ago and has made
another visit here also.

of the wards that existed before the
incorporation.
The city of LaMoufe is suffering as
a result Of this law. When that city
was incorporated 1t was not permitted
to change the boundary of the wards
in the city, and as a result of this
restriction Lamoure has one ward in
which there are but seven votes, and
this ward controls all the elections,
1t is reported. The delegates from
Lamoure are anxious to have bill
passed giving cities the right to change
the boundaries of wards for the ben
eft of the city.

BIG ATTACHMENT SUIT.
Cooley & Cooley Sued by Thomas
Huntington for S1O.651.

One of the largest attachments
suits that has been filed here for
some time was instituted Saturday
afternoon, when Thomas Huntington,
through McCourt & Phelps, sued for
judgment for the sum of $10,651
against A. B. Cooley and NJ. E.
Cooley. A $1,000 attorney fee is ask
ed for.
1t is stated in the complaint that
on June 20, 1894, five notes were is
sued by the defendants to d. w. Bal
ley. These amounted in all to $5,-
800, and the last was payable in 1899.
They were secured by a mortgage
upon half section of land in town
ship north of range 32 E. w. NJ.
On February 13, 1895, the notes
were sold by Bailey to Thomas Hunt
ington for a consideration. At this
time it is said the mortgaged land
was incumbered by a school land
mortgage given by d. w. Bailey for
$4,000. Also, by other amounts. When
the school mortgage was foreclosed,
the amount for which the property
was sold was only sufficient to pay
the school boards lien and the other
creditors were losers.
The sum sued for is alleged to be
due Mr.. Huntington, and the plaintiffs
in the case are held to be responsible
| for the Indebtedness.

"The people of Oregon will receive
a vast amount of valuable informa-
ton and education from the work of
the oregon tax commission, although
none of its recommendation may be
accepted by the Legislature" said AS
SCISSOR c. p. Strain, who has just re-
turned from Portland, where he has
been in consultation with the COM
mission for the past few days.
Mr.. Strain says the commission is
diligently investigating the subject OF
corporation taxation, and is sparing
no pains to get at the bottom of the
subject, and its reports upon this
feature of its work will make valua-
BILE and permanent addition to the
statistical literature of the state.
He believes that the work of the
commission will educate the genera
public to the true meaning and basi!
of taxation and will cause a popular
sentiment in favor of taxing fully thu
invisible forms of property which
have heretofore escaped all taxes.
The report of tie commission vii
be exhaustive and made upon Off
cial statistics from other states, anC
will be conclusive evidence in favo
of more comprehensive laws, to pre-
sent to the legislature.
Mr.. Strain notes with pleasure anC
qualification that many Oregon
counties are Increasing their valua
ton, in accordance with the plal
adopted in Umatilla county. He be
lieves 1t is a healthful sign and will
be of great benefit to the state, II
bringing more taxable property t.
| light.
Many of the Willamette vale,
counties are doubling their valuation
at one Jump and Marion count,
will assess her property this year
full cash value.
