FLOOD SITUATION IN
FARGO IS
BAD
Waterworks Station Aban.
doned and Moorhead Fur
nishes Water.

The Red river at this point has
risen about four feet since yesterday,
At noon today it had reached the
lower end of the Great Northern spur
running to the transferring elevator
located near the DeMers avenue
bridge. The river is rising slowly,
and no serious flood is anticipated at
this time.
In Fargo the condition is rather
alarming. The merchants are getting
ready to move goods from the base
ment, and yesterday, de Lendriche
erected temporary warehouse in
which to store stock. The river, it
is stated, will have to raise only eight
feet before it will reach the base
ments.
Last evening, the water works
station of Fargo was abandoned. The
Moorhead water works system will
furnish Fargo people with liquid.
At the power house of the st. John
hospital, the water Is being pumped
from the floor by steam. Should the
water raise much higher it will be
necessary to close the power plant.
At Wahpeton the river has started
to recede. going down two feet yes
terday.
The belief that an ice gorge was
responsible for the condition in Fargo
is unfounded. A trip up the river for
some distance showed that this was
not the case.
At Halstad, the bridge across the
river was washed away. The bridges
between here and Fargo are all
wooden affairs, and in some places
old barges are swung across the
stream.
From Fargo today. it was announced
that in the last twenty-four hours, the
river had risen twenty inches. 1t is
believed that the danger is past, al
though the residents are not going to
take any chances on this.
The most embarrassing condition
resulting from the flood is the water
works tie up. Considerable inconven-
fence has resulted.
Commissioner Thompson was in
Grand Forks yesterday from Thomp-
son. He states that there is lot of
snow on the prairie as yet, and it is
his belief that there will be bad
flood soon. He says it would take
two weeks of good weather to melt all
of the snow.

en- the warrant. 1t is expected that
he will arrive in Grand Forks this
evening with the woman, and she will
be brought before. the insanity COM
mission on Thursday.
The case is a particularly sad one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daisy have been married
little over year. Three months
ago she became the mother of little
child. Since then. she has been
homesick, and Mr.. Daisy states that
she has acted queerly at times. Her
parents reside at Dunseith, and ar
engagements were made to have her
visit there. Accordingly she left
Grand Forks Tuesday morning, but at
York became insane.

may HAVE $4,000 LIBRARY
University officials Have Formulated Scheme Whereby $685.
600 Appropriation Can Be Utilized in
Carnegie Building

The University of North Dakota
may yet have $4,000 library build
ing as originally planned, and for
which an appropriation of $4,000 was
asked from the state legislature and
was just as promptly turned down.
President Merrifield and the univer-
sity trustees have evolved a scheme
to that end, and the state emergency
board has been asked to cooperate,
and though 1t can not be stated with
any degree of certainty at this time,
it is expected that the emergency
board will meet with the trustees at
the regular session on April for
the purpose of discussing the new
plan. -. M
The scheme on the carpet now is
to turn the $25, 900 appropriation for
q gymnasium and assembly hall
which was made at the session of
the legislature recently closed, into
the library fund, to be united with
the $4,000 donation of Andrew Car

negie. A three story building could
then be erected. This structure would
cover the assembly hall portion of
the $4,000 appropriation, and it
would then be in order for the uni
versfty trustees to provide quarters
for temporary gymnasium.
A $4,000 building, in the opinion
of the authorities of the institution,
is what is wanted even If it be neces-
sary to put up with inconvenience
for another two years when addition
al appropriation for gymnasium
and armory could be provided.
II the state emergency board ac-
quiesces in the deviation from the
original plans, the library building
will be three stories in height instead
of two. On the lower floor will be
housed the packing rooms and store
rooms while on the main floor will
be located the library proper-the
reading rooms, librarian's Offices. ETC.
The assembly hall will take up the
entire top story.
