CORRECT DATE
Quarterly Teachers Examina-
tions Will be Held Aug.
81, Sept. 1.

Some time ago the attention of
County Superintendent of Schools Nc
Lain has called to the fact that notices
for teachers examinations were being
published throughout the county and
that the dates set in different local.
ties were conflicting. Superintendent
McLain Immediately wrote to the de-
partment of public instruction to find
out the correct date for the holding
of the examinations. The answer in
part reads: "The August examinations
will be- held Friday, Aug. 81 and Sat
urday, Sept. l."
The law says that the examination
shall be held commencing on the last
Friday in August. but as they take the
greater part of two days to complete,
the clerks sent out notices to the
effect that they would be held on the
last Friday and Saturday of August.
This, of course, was a mistake as the
last Friday and Saturday of the
month are the dates, Aug. "a and Is.

IT BLEW HARD
Yesterday Evenings Storm
Wrecked Awnings Here
Damage Elsewhere.

For few minutes yesterday after
noon rain poured down in sheets and
the heavy wind that accompanied the
rain did considerable damage to pro-
perty both in this city and in this
immediate section of the state. Quite
number Of windows were blown out
In buildings in the path of the wind.
In this city the storm seemed to rage
hardest on Kittson avenue than In
any other part Of the city. The only
two awnings that were down, those
on the Hotel Northern and on the Odd
Fellows block. were torn to pieces
and thrown to the pavement. In the
southern and western portions of the
state no rain at all has been reported,
the only damage being the result of
the wind. At the little town of Kelso,
near Fargo, the roof of Minneapolis
& Northern elevator was torn of. Loss
about $500.

BRAKE HURT
Great Northern Trainman Seri-
ously Injured at Emerado
Yesterday.

l.. johnson, who is brakeman on
train No. as, was seriously hurt at
Emerald yesterday. While pulling in
on siding johnson was standing be-
tween the engine and tender looking
backward for signal. A grain spout
of an elevator had been left down and
1t struck him on the side of the head,
pushing his end against the end of the
tender. The engineer saw the danger
and applied the emergency and stopped
before his head was crushed. He was
rendered unconscious and while not
seriously hurt, had decidedly narrow
escape. His home is at Carmen.

CAN APPOINT
Sec. 1874 of Code Gives School
Board Power to Fill
Vacancy.

Attorney John Sorley, who is men,
Der of the city school board, has taken
some pains to investigate the ques-
ton as to how the new membership in
the Seventh ward shall be selected and
is clearly of the opinion that under
section 1874 of the code, the board has
the power to appoint member in the
newly created ward. This simplifies
the matter very much, as there seems
to be no one authorized to call a spe-
cial election 10 rthe purpose.

OIL IS FOUND IN
NORTH DAKOTA
Springs in Stutsman County
Hills Said to be Spouting
"Grease."
MAY COMPLICATE PROVING UP
Special to The Evening Times.

Special to The Evening Times.
jamestown. N. D., Aug. 15.-North
Dakota is likely to have some more
oil excitement Settlers in the hills
of Stutsman county report traces of
oil in the springs on the streams of
that section. 1t is in the most recently
settled part OF that county where many
homesteaders have not proved up.
Some of those are hurrying to make
final proof SO they can obtain title to
their land in case the oil find develops.
This is not the first oil boom in the
state. A few years ago La Moure
county settlers found the greasy stuff
in quantity. 1t was just after the COL
lapse of the boom in Texas and other
places and the value of oil wells was
not SO highly regarded as to cause
a stampede. There appears to be no
doubt that there is both oil and natural
gas in the state, though it is doubt
full whether it is in sufficient quanti-
ties to prove a source of profit.

REX DOESN'T KNOW.
Maybe the City Has an Official Paper
and Maybe 1t Hasn't.

City Attorney Rex said today: ut
is a question upon which there can
be many differences of opinion whether
or not Grand Forks really has an off,
cial paper. However, expect that the
city council will attend to the matter
at the next meeting" Mr.. Rex also
said that he had never looked very
carefully into the matter, but had
talked it over several times. In the
meantime neither Mr.. Healy nor his
associates are worrying much over
their franchise in this city.

Tri-state Franchise Turns Over
In It's Grave The Council
. Meeting.

The city council was In session last
night primarily for the openingof the
bids for the $4,000 worth of water
works bonds which the city has Of
fered for sale. When these bonds
we're offered by former council
eight or ten bids were received and
the commercial world seemed decid-
eddy anxious to purchase them. There
was considerable surprise last night
when not a single bid was received.
The Wells & Dickie firm of Minnea-
polls stated that II the bonds were not
sold last night they had proposition
which they would submit. The matter
was referred to the city attorney to
ascertain what their proposition is.
E. j. jacob represented some parties
who desired to bid but because of con-
fusion of the dates he had not been
able to do SO. He desired to submit
his bid when the matter was finally
disposed of. It is supposed that an
other sale will be advertised.
The contract with Edward l.. Healy
for supplying the city with electricity
for the operation of its light and
power plan was closed, the contract
taking the form of a resolution to pur-
chase sufficient electricity to operate
the plant for q period of ten years at
three cents per kilowatt, the city to
purchase from no one else during that
period.
The matter of a franchise to Healy
for the sale of light and power in
the city was reported by Craig, who
is chairman of the committee having
the matter in charge. He suggested a
meeting Of the council as a committee
of the whole to consider the matter
Informally. Collins wanted secret
meeting, as usual, but Craig insisted
upon an open one and, of course, 1t
prevailed. Jarvis favored considering
the matter at the present meeting.
The council will meet tonight for this
purpose.
&. The Tri-State ordinance turned over
In the grave and the ghost took a
walk. The matter was finally referred
to committee composed of Sherlock,
Craig and Bydahl, who will investi-
gate the matter later.
The sewer was also up for a course
OF talk. Sherlock was called upon to
report as to the progress being made
and stated that the work was being
done according to specifications. The
president stated that the city treasur-
er had announced that he would not

o o Q y o . O . 8 . O 8 o o q o . q
The above statement was made to a
representative of the Evening Times
last evening by Hon. John Maher, of
Devils Lake, in answer to query as
to what he thought of the report of
Jones and Inglis, the Minneapolis crop
estimators, to the effect that the North
Dakota wheat crop this year would
be 1OO,OO0.000, bushels exceeding that
OF her sister state, Minnesota, by 90
100000 bushels.
Mr.. Maher said that while he had not
been over the entire state by any means,
he had, nevertheless, covered a con-
siderable portion and was not able to
confirm the reports of an immense
crop.
Il would like to have Jones and
Inglis answer for me the question
or Its Alternatives it not a fact
that In making their report they were
Influenced by the condition of the
market. or If not that, is it not true
that in going into the fields they are
simply not able to make a correct es-
innate.
II question whether the state will
harvest as big a wheat crop this year
as it did last. I know the wheat is
not in the valley, and neither is
It along the main line of the Great
Northern. AS for Ramsey, my home
county, If the wheat averages ~ bus
hels to the acre, 1t will exceed my
expectations, and I have made it my
business to look into the matter quite
carefully.
1.-TWO years ago, the time of the rust
scare, it will be recalled the Min
eapolis friends of Jones and Inglis
were on the bull side of the market.
Not at all strange to say they are now
bearing the market.
Oats are failure this year, too,
especially in the northern part of the
state and I will venture to say that
any amount of oats will be cut which
will never be threshed."
Mr.. Maher agrees with the Evening
Times in its editorial of an evening
or two ago, when it was said that
the market price on new wheat
will this year be considerable
less than the quantity Of grain
will warrant, and that the farmers will
lose unless they take heed, and SO far
as possible keep their wheat out of the
market until such times as the opera
tors quit fooling.
Build bins is the way to do the
business" was the parting remark of
the speaker.

Looking Pleasant.

It is an occasion for considerable
satisfaction to the lovers of good
government that James w. Wads-
worth has been nominated, by the
Republican caucus, for speaker Of
the New York Assembly, nomi-
nation that assures his election.
There will be some regret, of
course, that in order to avoid the
evils OF the selection of a speaker
by Mr. Benjamin b Odell it was
found necessary to have the selec-
tion made by President Roosevelt
and Governor Higgins. Despite
some rather formal disclaimers from
both of these gentlemen, all the evi-
dences point TO that conclusion. Ad-
hitting, however, that the choice
of Mr.. Wadsworth is a selection. and
not an election, there is still room
for congratulation in the character
of his sponsors.
Boss rule is not the ideal govern
ment, anywhere. 1t savors too much
of despotism to blend with our ideals
of free institutions. and at its very
best il is not good In New York
State, however, as in some others,
It seems to be popular. Indeed. il
has become a habit If the State
is to have a boss, OF bosses, there is
every reason why it should prefer
the President and the governor, or
either of them. to the person it has
recently deposed.
Mr.. Wadsworth is a young man OF
attractive personality, considerable
energy and some trifing knowledge
of men and affairs He has other
attributes. it is inferred. but these
are all as yet offered in evidence that
seem TO bear upon his fitness 10
occupy official station. Let us all
hope for the best when the other
qualities begin to appear.
