LOCATION Of SCHOOL
SATISFACTORY
To ALL
Fine Site Purchased by the
Board of Education Thurs
day Evening.

Four lots, lying between Dakota
and Cheyenne avenue on Sixth street
have been purchased by the board of
education Of the Grand Forks indie
pendent school district The price
paid was $1,000, and the property will
be utilized as location for the aw
grade school house to be erected next
summer.
At public meeting held in the
Commercial club rooms Thursday af-
ternoon at O'Clock, the location of
the school was discussed at consider
able length. The meeting was not as
largely attended as it was hoped that
it would be, but it was the unanimous
opinion of the tax payers present that
the Central school grounds was not
desirable location for the proposed
school, and that even though the cost
would be some what heavier, the new
school should be placed some where
else.
A meeting of the board of education
was held last evening. At that time
w. H. Kelsey submitted his PROPOSE
ton, offering the four lots on North
Sixth street. The lots are in the mid
die of the block, on the west side Of
the street, and should the board de-
sire at any time to secure additional
ground on either side of the building,
this could easily be done.
At their meeting last evening the
board discussed informally the bill
introduced in the legislature appro-
priating $4,000 for North Dakota
highschool. No action was taken.
The action of the school board on
the site proposition seems to meet with
the general approval of all. The site
purchased is excellent, and citizens
interviewed by the Evening Times to-
day were we'll pleased with it.

nue., within two feet of the path used,
there Is an opening in the ice about
five feet long and a foot and a half
wide. This becomes covered with
snow quickly, and can not be seen
within two or three hours after being
opened. 1t would have been very
easy for Mr.. Ford to have fallen into
this hole, and should he have done SO,
1t would have been hard to get out,
insomuch as he was we'll bundled up
in heavy coat and other clothes.
Even though Mr.. Ford left the depot
his place of employment-and went
toward De Mers avenue, he might
easily have gone back to the North
ern Pacific track, and from there down
on the ice. He had gone home by
way of the bridge and the ice for the
last two or three months and it
seems very probable that on this ac-
casion he took that same route. The
snow train was on the bridge at about
the time Mr.. Ford would reach
there and this fact may have caused
him to go on the ice.
The advisability of attempting to
drag the river in the vicinity of the
hole through which Chief Lowe be-
lieves Ford fell was discussed today,
and it is very probable that some
action will be taken this afternoon or
tomorrow

MASS meeting, WAS
HELD AT j
TODAY
Students Will Take Up Active
Campaign to Pass Appro-
priation Bill.
1876 PER CENT INCREASE
In Attendance During the Last
Six Years-Protest Against
Purcell Bill.
1876 PER CENT INCREASE

One of the largest and most en-
thuiastic bodies of students ever as
sembled at the University of North
Dakota, convened in special mass
meeting this afternoon at 1o'clock in
the university armory.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of reading to the students the
resolution drawn up during the week
by the special committee and which
will be printed and sent to every
alumnus and alumnae over the state
and also to every member of the state
legislature.
The letter was read by Chairman
Dan Brennan who presided and was
adopted by unanimous vote of the
students.
The Taylor and Purcell bills now
before the House and Senate at Bis
marck came in for considerable dis
cussion, j. F. T. O'Connor, Fred Nc
Curdy, and Dan Brennan participating
in the speechmaking.
The Taylor bill asks for a appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the university and
when the fact is taken into consider
alton that the attendance at the uni
versity has increased 1876 percent IN
the last six years with no increase
in buildings or equipments, the neces-
sity for every dollar Of the appropria-
ton asked, is apparent.
The assembled students also passed
resolution today that every male and
female student at the university write
to his or her parents urging them to
write to the representatives in the
legislature in favor of the bill.
The letter which was drawn up by
the committee as stated above
will be printed in circular form
and when sent to the members
of the alumni body, letters will
accompany asking that the re-
personalities in the Senate and House
be instructed to vote in favor of the
passage of the Taylor Appropriation
bill.
The committee which drew up the
letter is composed of Olger Burtness,
Terry McGauvran, John Woods, Dan
Brennan and Lynn Sarles.
The Purcell bill introduced by Sen
ator Purcell of Wahpeton calls for a
reduction in the apportionment of the
university. The previous apportion
has been 40 percent while Purcell
would cut it down to 80 per cent. The
students made protest against this
bill, and will urge its defeat.

BELIEVE BLOCKADE
HAS been RAISED
FOR WINTER
Great Northern Officials Claim
That They Will Keep
Trains Moving.
SNOW Is CLEANED OFF
Engines Hold Steam Better
and Will Soon be Making
Schedule"
SNOW Is CLEANED OFF

Another period of relief from the
excessive snow drifts in this state and
along the Great Northern route in
the weather forces and the valiant SER
vice of the rotaries. Ticket Clerk
Charles Taylor reported today that
traffic would be running smoothly by
evening even through those districts
that have been causing the most trouble
and that by tomorrow most of the
trains should be running on schedule
time
Trains from the east came in all
right today though perhaps an hour
or two late and the through trains
from the west that have been dragging
along like the remnants of drowned
gophers will be in some time during
the afternoon. No. from the west
has been stalled for hours in drift
near Bartlett and will be the first to
arrive, presumably at o'clock. The
first No. 2 which was snow bound
near Devils Lake will crawl along
on No. 6's trail and will be followed
in turn by the second No. 2.
No. 112 to Fargo went out almost
on schedule time this morning.
Last nights No. from st. Paul was
held in this city until, this morning
at $3.50 when it steamed out, passing
the snow bound trains somewhere
west of this city. This train was held
in this city instead of going on to
Larimore, the latter city being COM
pletely plugged and congested with
freights and plows, etc.
unlucky Hannah Train.
The Hannah train which left this
city for the Larimore branch, on last
Monday morning, is still bucking along
out on the prairies. However train
men expect her to show up tonight.
The unlucky train was supposed to
return to this city Monday night but
unfortunately the weather had other
things in store and Monday night was
spent at Larimore to which place she
had returned after meeting impossible
drifts at McCanna. Ever since that
time she has been lining into snow
drifts and eating her way along bit by
bit. The snow plows which have been
leading have been stuck so many
times that pencils have been worn
out trying to keep track of them.
The North trains out of Grand Forks
have been keeping pretty regular
time.
Trainmen who have recently come
in from the Montana districts state
that the snow belt in that state is
something fierce. The worst part of
this belt extends over the northern
part and as far south as Columbia
Falls where the snow is but Is feet
deep. In this state in places along
the tracks the snow is walled up to
the top Of the cars and indeed 1t might
be said that for distance of 200
miles along the road the average depth
of snow is between 6 or z feet. How
ever, it is thought that the days of
billiards. and more snow are num-
bered and that traffic will be uninter-
rupted from now on.
First in Four Days.
A long distance message from Devils
Lake at 8 O'Clock this afternoon stated
that the first mail in four days ar
rived in Devils Lake at noon today.
This was probably carried by No.
which left this city this morning.

TRANSFER REGISTERED STOCK
N. c. Taylor Of Orfordyille, Wis.,, VIII
Purchase BlOoded Cows Of G..
C. Dickson,

G. G. Dickson of this city. who en-
poets to go out of the dairy business
within the next week has completed
arrangements with N G. Taylor of
Orfordville, Wis, for the transfer of
all standard COWS to his herd. Mr..
Dickson has AZ registered animals in
his herd and the eastern breeder will
take all that come up to the standard.
The Wisconsin man is the proprietor
of the Brown Bessie herd of cattle,
the largest and best known herd In
the state of Wisconsin and Mr.. Dick
son has several in his bunch that
were secured from the Brown Bessie
stables. The stock not desired by NJ
Taylor will be sold to the butcher,
thus taking everything off Mr.. Dickson
hands. He expects to remove to the
coast in the spring.

nothing of the cutting down Of the

haps it would be advisable to do this.

whether local man should be ap-
