WORK ON RESERVOIR
At ANETA IS
STOPPED
High Water Compels Contrac
tors to Give Up the Job
Partially Completed.
special Correspondence to The Evening

SPECIAL Correspondence to The Evening
Aneta, N. D., March 27-Work on
the reservoir has practically stopped.
as the water is geeting too high. The
contractors are trying to save their
machinery, etc. AS it is, they will lose
about 1000 ties and some rails. When
compelled to stop, the contractors had
hole about 600 #. long, 100 it. wide
and 16 #. deep dug. This was not the
size that the contract called for. but
there seems to be enough water to
supply all of Jim Hills engines for
some time to come with water.
The depot is nearing completion,
and will be decided improvement
over the old one that was DESTROYED
by fire last winter.
Work has started on the coal shute.
This will be a four-pocket shute with
all the latest Improvements for max
ing the work both light and quick.
Editor Sperry is on the streets,
after being kept at home for several
weeks with a broken leg.
Aneta is to lose one of her most
popular families, W. ]. Regan will
move to Neville, N. D., where he has
rented the fruit and confectionery
store of A. D. McDougal & Co. We are
sorry to see Will and his wife leave
Aneta, but we wish them the best
that is" in the their new home.
The new liquor law has put the
blind-piggers on the run here. They
ordered all their goods that were in
the depot to be shipped back. The
states attorney of Nelson county. has
published letter addressed to all
the county, city and village officers,
telling them of their duties in regard
to the enforcement of the laws and
that any that were proven to wink at
and law-breaking would be dealt with
according to law. He goes further and
tells of his intentions in regard to all
laws, but speaks particularly of the
liquor laws. If he succeeds as he
hopes, Nelson county will be a bad
place for all classes OF law breakers
to strike.
Business in Aneta is very quite at
present, and will be until the roads
get so that they may be travelled on.
At present the only way any one can
get to town, Is by foot.
States Attorney Fleming was in
town Monday.
Hon. M. A. Shirley is at home after
his work in the house of representa-
tives at Bismarck. He was confined to
his room over three weeks by sick
ness.
Sheriff Sandlie is seen around town
today. He has not stated his business
as yet.
The mail is being carried. from here
to Neville on hand car part of the
time, but today the stage driver got
through by team. 1t was tough pull
ling though.
If the roads do not soon get better,
there will be butter and egg famine
in town. There was no good butter
last Friday and very few. if any.
farmers brought in any today. Those
who came walked.

many SCHOOL HOUSES
Increase in the State in the Number
Of School Children Necessitates
New School Buildings.

That North Dakota is growing and
the number of children in attendance
at the schools throughout the state is
increasing is evidenced by the many
new school buildings which are bling
erected in different parts of the COM
monwealth. Without exception these
are of a substantial character, of mod
ern construction and will furnish ex-
cellent accommodation for instructors
and pupils.
Among the new buildings are the
following:
Darlington will erect fully modern
two-story brick school house with sep
arate heating plant.
At Lidgerwocd 4-room brick school
house is to be erected. 1t is to be
completed April 1, and will cost about
$4,000.
At Cogswell, fine 4-room, 2-story
brick school house is to be erected at
a cost of $9,2S5.

PRISONERS ARE READERS
Old Magazines and Periodicals Are In
Great Demand at the County
Jail.

According to Sheriff o. G. Hanson
and Deputy Gafbreath, old magazines,
periodicals and reading matter of all
descriptions, are very much in de-
mand by the prisoners in the Grand
Forks county Jail. The county wards
are always heavy readers, and the few
papers available are eagerly absorbed
during the leisure moments and the
county officials very much desire that
old magazines, etc., be sent to the
Jail. instead of being thrown into the

KNOCK OUT EXCURSIONS
II Rate Bill Being Considered by Min.
nesOta Legislature Passed There
Will BE Trouble.

Grand Forks people will be inter-
ested in knowing that there is pos,
sibility that the annual excursions to
Duluth will be cut out. The race bill
being considered by the Minnesota
legislature, it is claimed, would make
these excursions impossible. Every
year a special train has been run to
the head OF the lakes from Grand
Forks, and hundreds of North Dako-
tans have taken advantage of the OPP
portunity of visiting the Zenith City.
The Duluth people are rather inter-
ested in what action will be taken en-
tina bill.

BETTER LEVEE PROTECTION

The levees are i'll much better
shape than i'll 1905 when the stage
at Greenville reached 49.1. Three
fourths of the line of levee will need
no attention even with the gage
registered so feet at Greenville,
which wonld leave one-fourth OF
the lire to be closely guarded in
case of high water. In 1908 the
entire line needed attention. The
officials OF the levee board feel con-
fdent that barring hidden weak
ness which they do not contemp-
late, the levees will successfully
protect this side of the river from
danger with stage of so feet on
the guage at Greenville. While
we may have extreme high water
or may not, we feel confident that
the levees in their present splendid
condition and with the levee board
as now organized, the people be
hind the levees will be absolutely
safe.-Greenville Democrat.

On Wednesday night, January
23rd. 1907, Mrs. NJ. L. Lightfoot,
mother of Mr.. John V. Lobdell,
passed from earth to the Father 5
Mansion.
Mrs. Lightfoot was one of Boil
var county's oldest inhabitants,
coming here when she was seven-
teen years of age and residing here
sixty years. Her sweet disposi
ton and rare intellectual powers
won her a legion of friends who
deeply regret her death.
The funeral services were held
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lob
dell Thursday. conducted by Rev.
H. NJ. 7. Pearce. and internent
was made in the Beulah cemetery.

Collin county, Texas, has been the
guest this week of his nephew, Jno
V. Lobdell. Col. Coffee is large
farmer and works all his land with
white labor from Illinois and In
diana. He has been decidedly suc-
cessful and his tenants are making
and saving money.
Some people in Rosedale won-
der why it is that cabbage cost SO
much here A little observation
will explain-tle cows of our city
are very fond of cabbage, and when
a crate is set out in front of store
they peoceed to eat a few heads of
the succuleut vegetables; and as
the dealer can not afford to lose oil
his investment, he has to raise the
price to cover the COW feed.
]. @. Sedberry, who has been
stenographer i'll the law Office of
Charles Scott, Woods & Scott for
the past two years, will leave next
week to accept similar position
with Foster, Olivar & Cox, attor-
neys, of Carrolton, Ala. He has
made many frienes here who will
regret his departure, and he ex-
presses deep regret at parting from
them; but his old home is in Mont
gomery. Ala, and he desires to re-
turn to his native State.
Robert Arnold, of Malvina was
in Rosedale Thursday. He reports
that while in Vicksburg, serving on
the Federal Grand jury, that poll
of the jury was made as to the
choice of its members for governor.
All the white men OH the jury, ex-
cept four, expressed themselves as
being ardent supporters of Charles
Scott. The men were selected at
random from the various counties
of the district and is q fair sample
of what the vote will be i'll the pri-
mary.
