COUNT LAMSDORFF DEAD.
Former Foreign Minister of Russia
 Succumbs to Dropsy.


 San Reno, Italy, March 1s.-Count Vladimir Nicolaievitch Lamsdorff, the former Russian minister of foreign af- fairs, died here this evening at 11:5O. Paul Lamsdorff, nephew of the de- ceased statesman, and representing the Lamsdorff family, was present at his uncle's death.
 Count Damsdorff's illness, which was dropsy, originated with heart disease, from which he has suffered since he was foreign minister.
 Count Vladimir Nicolaievitch Lams- dorff had been connected for the past forty years with the Russian diplomat ic circle. He was born in 1S45, entered the ministry of foreign affairs in 1866, affairs in 1906, when he was succeeded by Baron Iswolsky, the present incum- bent.
 The family of Count Lamsdorff was originally German. His father moved to Russian in 1877 from Westphalia, and was granted the title by the Rus- sian government.
 During the negotiations between the Washington administration and the governments of Russia and Japan that preceded the holding of the peace con- ference at Portsmouth, Count Lams- dorff played an important part He was in constant communication with George von L. Meyer, who was. then American ambassador to Russia, and who conveyed the views of President Roosevelt to the Russian government. On one occasion Count Lamsdorff de- clined to convey certain communities tion to the emperor for MT. Meyer, whereupon the American ambassador promptly went over the head of the Russian foreign minister, and commun- icated with his majesty himself.

yesterday in Phoenix, together with
w. G. Swsrt. f. w. Brooks, Thos. j.
Fry and others who are associated with
him. They were returning from a visit
to the company's property in Pinal
county, having passed through here for
the mine on Monday.
Mr.. Finney when seen at hotel yes

long satisfactorily and the company is
now well financed, sufficiently so to
furnish strong guarantee OF the sue

necessarily move slowly and ne said
his present visit was merely to note
the progress OF operations in the de-

Representatives of the Trenton Iron
Works are on the ground locating and
designing the gravity tramway which
will transport the ores from the mine
TO the smelter site on the railroad two

cents a ton for moving the ores, while
the tram will at the same time fur

cally no expense. Among other things
looked after is the planning for the
equipment OF the mine with drills and
power.
Some attention is also given the
smelter though that part of the con-

AS the days go by the local astrono-

I here recently on visit to the family
OF DR. and Mrs. II. ii. Wilson. She
says that she saw the comet on Tues

ISSUE HUNTING PERMITS
Warm Weather Leads Sportsmen 10
Secure Permits From Auditor
Hans Anderson.

The warm, springy weather of the
past few days has caused the geese to
fly northward and many flocks have
passed over the city. Between Grand
Forks and Grafton the geese are very
plentiful. Stephen Collins reports
flock after flock near Forest River,
where he had occasion to drive during
the past week.
Many hunters. in anticipation of
goose feed. have already applied to
County Auditor Hans Anderson for
permits, and it is very probable that
several hundred will be issued during
the hunting season, as this season has
scarcely begun.
The northward flight of geese is
about the same time as last year, but
the nimrods look for better success
with the bags than in 1906.

PROMOTERS MAY
COMBINE THEIR
CAPITAL
Two "short Lines" Proposed
For Northern Part Of State
May Be Merged.
IS UP TO STOCKHOLDERS
$4,000 Subscribed to Date
Proposition to Be Put to
a Vote Soon.

The scheme for the uniting of the
forces of the two separate railroad
short lines for which stock is being
subscribed by the farmers of Cava-
lier, Pembina and Walsh counties Is
being pushed.
Thomas Campbell, manager of the
Portland Pembina Cement company of
Milton. who has been one of the
promoters Of the line between Mclean
and Edinburg, connecting with the
Great Northern at the latter place, re.
turned yesterday from trip along the
proposed right-of-of way. He stated
today to an Evening Times represen.
tative that proposition had already
been rendered to the hackers of the
Union Railway company, which COM
pany was recently organized in Lang
don for the purpose of running a line
from Osnabrock, two stations north OF
Edinburg, to the international bound
airy.
The latest scheme is to run the
Edinburg branch from Edinburg
northward twenty miles to Mclean,
the original route agreed upon by the
promoters of this line, but to have the
direction OF the Union railroad changed
SO as to run from the international
boundary to connect with this branch
at Mclean. making one continuous
line from Edinburg to Canada. The
expectation is to connect with the
Canadian Northern south branch at
Mobrey.
At the meeting of the Union road
stockholders on Saturday the company
was capitalized at 100000, but of
this amount only $4,000 has been
subscribed. On the other hand the
Edinburg branch promoters. organized
several weeks ago. have subscribed
to date in the neighborhood of So
900.
If the proposition of uniting the
two roads is acted upon favorably, it
will mean the addition of forty miles
Of track in North Dakota and the
opening of large territory hitherto
nearly inaccessible on account of the
distance from railroad.
The question of uniting the roads
will come up for vote at meeting
to be held in the near future.

Weather Observer Grasse of the

today that the worst storm of the
season might be expected tomorrow.
A cold snap will do things tonight,
and following this, he says there is
to be big storm.
In Grand Forks today, the Red river
showed raise of about five feet since

sage from Abercrombie yesterday to
the effect that the total rise at that
point had been about ten feet and four
inches.
At Wahpeton.
Observer Grasse also received
message from the U. S. weather OBJ
server at Wahpeton, to the effect that
the river was up twelve feet. The
message was SO indefinite, that he
sent for further particulars, and last
evening received message to the eff
feet that since morning the river had
risen at Wahpeton seven and one-half
rect. The message stated that the
Bots de Sioux was clear of ice and
was flowing smoothly.

ity that the Sheyenne was very high

pot at that point. Clerk Pinkham of

from his brother on the Shey-
enne about seven miles from Fargo,
to the effect that there was scarcely
any water in the river at that point.
At Caledonia.
At Caledonia yesterday, the ice was
just beginning to rise at that point.
At Georgetown.
A telephone message from Perley,
MIMI. yesterday afternoon about
O'Clock, stated that the Red near that
point was not high, there being less

2376 SCHOOL ENROLMENT
Grand Forks Schools Enjoying Pros

Enrolment Large.

The enrolment in the Grand Forks
public schools is now 1876 accord
ing to figures compiled by Superin-
tendent j. Nelson Kelly. These fig
ures are about 200 in excess of the
total enrolment of the last school
year, and tend to show the general
tone of the market of school children.
Before the year is out the enrolment
will undoubtedly reach the 2,400 mark
without any trouble. Professor Kelly
said today when asked relative to the
condition of the school said:
yes, there are at least 200 more
now enrolled than We had during the
entire previous year and more coming
In every day. We had four new pupils
yesterday. The enrolment in the high
school is about $50, these figures be-
ing slightly in excess of last years.
There is no question but that the
schools are growing, and growing very
fast, and there would be no limit to
the number of school children that
would come to Grand Forks to re-
