MR. W ALL HAS
ACCEPTED
TAXPAYERS GIVE HIM
MAYORS NOMINATION.
Enthusiastic Meeting of Taxpayers
Forces Mr.. Wall to Allow His Name
to Come Up for Reflection for
Mayor of Fargo mo Pledges Asked.

Yesterday afternoon about 100 Of
the business MEN and taxpayers OF the
city of Fargo met in the office OF C.
E. Wheeler & Co. On request, the
object OF the meeting was stated by
Colonel Morton, VINO said that with
out regard to factions or parties the
taxpayers Of the city wanted man for
mayor who would conduct the city's
affairs in a business like manner and
relieve them of any unnecessary bur-
dens. From the record made during
the past year he felt that all had con-
fdence. that. Mayor Wall should be
continued as chief executive.
, w. G. Maefadden was elected chair
man and "A. B. Lee secretary Of. the
meeting. =. v.e5g.a..
The situation was quite thoroughly
discussed by many OF those present.
and the nomination was unanimously
rendered to Mr.. Wall, and Colonel
Morton, A. B. Stickney and ], p,
Hardy were named as a. committee to
notify Mr.. Wall, who soon appeared
and after thanking the meeting for the
compliment declined the honor, and
suggested that other names be taken
up for the place.
There was some discussion Of others.
but it was shown that the sentiment
was decidedly in favor OF Mr.. Wall.
notwithstanding his declination, and a
motion by Mr.. Amerland that the
mayor withdraw his dechnation and
accept the position was carried with
a hurrah and by the vote ofSevery one
in the room. Mr.. Wall acceded to the
wishes of those present, and a CONF
mittee was appointed to prepare peti5
tions for his nomination and circulate
them at once.
A general city committee was au4
thorlzed, to be supported by co1n2
mittee from each precinct, and these
committees will be announced later.
The. meeting adjourned with all en-
thusiastic over the work accomplish
ed, ~
Mr.. Wall was not asked to make
any pledges; his record for the past
year was sufficient to the taxpayers
that he would give an honest and econs
omlcal administration of city affairs;
keeping Fargo we'll to the front in all
that makes the city a desirable place
to have a. home, and bringing the same
hard business sense to public affairs
that he has exercised in the conduct
OF his own private business.

QUESTION. OF
LEGALITY
Ass istant Attorney General Stevens
Supplements Opinion on the Re-
districting Proposition.

The attack on the validity of the ac-
ton of the city council in redistricting
the city so as to create the seventh
ward may result in. some interesting de-
velopmelts. ~: H.
Assistant Attorney General Stevens,
who is in the city today raises the ques-
ton as to the validity of the certihca-
ton to the population of the city and
upon which is based the legality of the
action in redistricting the city.
Mr. Stevens is of the opinion that the
population of the city of Fargo is not
officially as shown by the last census
until the returns are certified to by the
secretary of state. This has not yet been
done The only record on file in the
Office of the city auditor pertaining to
the census is the certihcation of o. J.
Olson. who was the official enumerator.
Whether such certhcation is sufficient
Or not is a question.
The secretary of state may certify
to the returns at any time but he has
not yet done so" said Mr.. Stevens this
morning. "The law does not require
that he do so until the next session of
the legislature The records have not
been entirely completed. am informed,
and it has been for this reason that the
census has not yet become official. :

ARE NOT

Attorneys for Msjor Murphy Deny the
lnsinuations Of States ATT
forney Mcdee. . "

The attorneys for Major Murphy in
dignantly resent the insinuation OF
States Attorney McGee to the effect
that the attorneys for the Ward county
politician have been playing a game OF
bluff They characterize Mr.. Nc Gee S
statements as misleading.
E I'VE have been interviewing Judge
Pollock every day since the last jury
was discharged, asking and demanding
/ that the courb call the case of the state
OF North Dakota against Major Muir
ply for trial Immediately, said S. w.
Richard rdson, one of Major Murphy s
attorneys. I'VE even suggested that
the court call in another Judge to
handle the Cass county business in or
der that the Murphy case might be TAX
en- UP immediately. 4 81. 8 III
AT the very time when Mr. McGee
says that the defense was unwilling to
proceed with the trial of the case on
March 5th, Judge Lauder asked and of
fered to start the trial Of this case on
Tuesday. Feb. ~, but the attorneys for
the state were not at all disposed to go
to trial at that time. VII
The whole situation simply is that
the attorneys for the state knew that
Judge Lauder was the leading counsel
for Mr.. Murphy, and they also knew
that he had a large number Of import
ant cases, in which he was retained
prior to his retainer in the Murphy
case, in Mcintosh county, and they

Postmaster Eddy returned this
morning from Washington. He is en-
thusiaStic over the treatment accorded
him in the capitol city and says that
the postOfice department is willing to
grant everything within reason to the
Fargo, postotlice. As an evidence Of
this, Mr.. Eddy cites the fact that a
new rural route ont of the city, a
mounted carrier and the continuance Of
the postoffce at the agricultural col
lege were favors readily granted
Mr.. Eddy is now engaged i'll making
preparations for the redistrictng Of the
city. 1t will be necessary to do this
before the mounted carrier service
can be commenced
While the postotficc department indi-
Gated that an appropriation would be
made for the purpose, the matter Of
mail carriers riding on street cars at
the expense of the government has not
yet been disposed OF. Mr.. Eddy is
to have consultation with the street
railway officials in few days and at
that time it is expected that some plan
will be decided upon

Twenty delegates, named above, rep
Presenting the province of Manitoba
and the states OF Minnesota and North
and South Dakota, will assemble at

Forks next Tuesday evening for the
Purpose of considering how best to
prevent the overflow of the Red river
valley, and the great damage attend
ing such overflow. s s5..3
! Five delegates have been appointed
by the governors of the three states
and five by the premier of Manitoba.
The conference has been called by j.
J.. Cashel, Grafton, president of the
recently organized North Dakota
Drainage league, who interested the
governors and the pren1iers to the ex-
tent that they sanctioned the confer
ence and named delegates. s
\ The spring overhows in the Red

quently referred to as the garden spot
that the reference has become almost
national in its usage.
Several plans to prevent the over
/ flow Of the Red have been discussed
at different times. One that has met
with much favor, on account largely
Of its cheapness, is to straighten the
river, not by converting it into a canal
but by cutting off the large bends in
the river, thus shortening the channel
distance to Lake Winnipeg, a plan
that it is claimed would take the water
along in half the time as at present.
Another plan that has been almost as
generally discussed is the construction
sof a series Of dams at headWaters, Red
lake, Lake Traverse, Otter Tail lake
and across the Sheyenne and the Penn
bina rivers. In favor of this plan il
rs argued shat with the aid of locks
and dams the stage of the. river could
sbe: kept at a, normal point, and would
make the Red river aayigable. for a
much greater distance than at the
present time. The boards Of county
commissioners OF the valley counties in
this state have made appropriations oil
small amounts in order to get the
drainage work started, and there is
probably not a question in this section
of the country that is receiving so
much attention on the part of property
owners and citizens generally. 81

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
WebIem0 Restaurant and Pool Room
Quilted by Fire, With Complete
Destruction.

The demon of fire played sad havoc
with tie building and contents of the
Mrs. nj. Curtin store on Washington
street, occupied by the Weblemo pool
room and restaurant about one O'Clock
Sunday morning.
When the fire was discovered it was
shooting out into the street distance
of almost twenty feet and tapping up
over the top, and the contents were
doomed from the start. One of the
Weblemo boys sleeping upstairs
Weakened in time only to get what
money was in the cash drawer and
make his escape. The alarm was
turned in and the fire boys responded
quickly, and put up fight that would
do credit to any paid department. 1t
was evident that none of the contents
of the building could be saved. and
they turned their attention to saving
the adjoining buildings. Several times
fire got into the livery barn of r..
Simpson, but the boys put it out each
time, and by hard work confined the
blaze to the building, which is com.
pletely Quilted.
The loss of the contents will pro-
badly amount to upwards of 81, 000

For several months past at various
times representatives of some Of the
school book publishing houses Of the
country have visited DEBORAH and
called on the County Superintendent,
Auditor and Board of Supervisors, in
an effort to if possible get their pub
locations selected at the time of the
school book adoption, which was
on Monday. During the past week
in the lobby of the Winnesheik hotel
and OH the roads between there and
the residences or offices OF the aforesaid
gentlemen have been seen many of
these gentlemen, in all about fifteen

in the pressing of the virtues of their
several houses publications.
On Monday afternoon the Board of
Education met at the court house,
when they listened to the arguments
of these gentlemen in behalf of their
books, and then proceeded to vote.
The list of books adopted by them
for use in this county will be the
ones used as textbooks in the rural
schools of the county for the next five
years, according to the laws of the
state, and naturally the competition
was intense.
The Board decided upon the larger
portion of the textbooks, those to be
in regular use, on Monday afternoon,
and yesterday morning considerered
and determined upon those for sup
Elemental use. The following are the
regular textbooks:

Power Dam and Lake Assured.

Mr.. w. Fl. Burtis arrived home on
Sunday morning from Chicago. where
he spent several DAYS completing ar
rangements for the securing of the
necessary capital with which to build
the big dam and develop the water
power for their electric plant. He
assures us that the necessary capital
for this great project has been
guaranteed, and that work will be
started a soon as the condition of
the ground will permit, and after the
technical wording of the franchise
and certain minor details are settled.
This will mean the spending of a
large sum of money in DEBORAH and
vicinity in labor and supplies the
coming summer.
