The testimony showed that the chill

on Feb. IL, 1904, upon application by
the trustees of the village of Michi-
gan, who told Of tie poverty of the
mother. She had been divorced from
Frank Beamer in 1902, and Judge
Fisk had awarded her the custody of
the children. The mother opposed
the application Of the trustees. A
year later she married August Carl

Five children were sent to the home
at Fargo, and the oldest is now mar.

found by her mother year and half

has been since. The three others

Mrs. Carlson introduced evidence to
show that she has been leading a
good life, and that her husband
earned sufficient to care for the chill
dren. The home society contends
that the county Judge has no right to
cancel or modify his order.

At Ness, Remerike, the farmers
have been compelled to thresh their
grain wet, owing to the continued
dampness Of the weather. They have
hauled the grain direct from the field
to the machine. and the water has
dripped from the machine as the
threshing has proceeded, a sight never
before witnessed in that section Of
the country.
There are to-day 454 savings banks
in Norway, sixty-four of which are
city banks, and the remainder So
called country banks. The oldest of
them all is the Christiania Savings
bank. established in 1922. The mum.

l have frequently referred to the
rapid growth of socialism in Norway,
as we'll as in Sweden and Denmark.
Now it seems that the propaganda has
received setback in Christiania, as
indicated by the following dispatch
from there:
The city election in Christiania was
awaited this year with much interest
on account of the strong efforts made
by the socialists, who expected land
slide in their favor. Forty-five con-
servatives, twenty-seven socialists ten
radicals and two prohibitionists are
elected. This leaves the council prac-
ticafly unchanged. Nevertheless, the
election was remarkable in that for
the first time in years socialistic prog
ress was arrested.
A committee consisting Of R. Moerk
of Orsten, Bank Director Carston Of
Aase of Bergrund, Lauritz Barstad of
Volden, have taken the lead in a
movement to raise funds for the erec-
ton of a monument to Gange Rolf on
"Storhaugen" (big hilD at Aalesund.
The young peoples society, "Ivar Aa-
sen," of Aalesund, has also taken hold
of the same task, and the city an
thorities of Aalesund have taken a
hand too. The father of Rolf, Rag
nald Morejarl, is said to have lived
at Gifke, where the future founder Of
Normandy was born. But it is claimed
that when Rolf became of age he es-
tablished his residence on the estate
Roald, at Vigra, a Norwegian mile
from Aalesund. The fame and glory
of Rolf is steadily growing in the
Scandinavian countries, as we'll as
elsewhere in the world, and there are
some scholars who hold that he is
the real father of the British nation,
instead Of Alfred the Great, on the
theory that England was really made
when the Normans-the descendants
of conquered the land and ruled
it during the succeeding centuries.
Prof. Rasmus B. Anderson, the well
known Morse scholar and editor, Of
Madison, Wis, came forward some
years back with the interesting sug.
gestion that a monument to Rolls
memory be erected by the Norwegians
of America between st. Paul and Min
neapolis in the year 1914, a thousand
years after he founded Normandy.

Moorhead saloonkeepers Held for
Shipping Liquor to Indians.
The inquisitions or the United
States grand jury have ended for the
Fargo term. Of fifty-four cases in
vestigated, true bills were found in
thirty-four. There were over $50 wit
nesses, many of whom were Indians.
Indictments are reported to have
been found against several Moorhead
saloonkeepers for shipping liquor to
Indians on the reservations. In the
case Of Charles F. Moore against
Banker Beisecker of Fessenden for
$4,000 damages, the jury brought in
verdict for over half that amount.
Suit was brought for violation of a

Statement Issued by supt. stockweII
Secretary Of School Land Board.


Secretary Of School Land Board.
The following statement, issued by
State Superintendent w. L. Stockwell,
secretary of the board of university
and school lands, will be of interest
just now that the public has had its
attention drawn to the investment of
the permanent funds of the various
state institutions and of the common
schools. Numerous erroneous state
ments have appeared in the press of
late bearing upon this subject, conse-
quentlysthis authentic account will BE-
more than welcome:
Since March 1, 1907, the board OF
university and school LANDS has in
vested $1,0S6,OOO divided among the
following classes of securities: Farm
loans, s4O1, 400; school bonds, s479,.
900; municipal bonds, $151,10O; county
and township bonds, s54,400. Inas.
much as there has been some ques.
ton as to the boards attitude toward
farm loans, it should be noted that
since March /, when the amended law
relative to farm loans went into eff
feet, $401, 400 has been invested in
this way, or an average of $4,000 a
month. BY months the farm loans
made are as follows: March, moth
ing; April, 5000; May, $4,000; June,
$41,100; July, $42,350: August, $22,-
900; September, $4,000; : October,
$45,350; November meeting adjourn.
ed to Dec. s, $177,20o, making a total
Of $4O1, 100, or more than four times
as much as all outstanding farm loans
prior to March 1, 1907. There are still
pending applications for farm loans Of
over $4,000, and for the first time
in more, than five years are the appli-
cations for loans from the school
fund more than the amount available

little grain moving out now that the

expected that ten men will for the

business.
Both of the chief officials are prom.

mar. The positions pay $3.50 and
500 per month, respectively, for the
chief inspectorship and the chief
weighmaster. These salaries are fix
ed by the Wisconsin inspection law,
but it is probable that at the next ses.
sion of the state legislature arrange.
ments will be made for larger sala.
ries, so as to be able to keep good
men in the positions.
Under the settlement of the Wiscon.
sin inspection fight it is thought that
the fees of the commission will run
to about $4,000 or $4,000 per year
This will put the commission in ex.
cellent shape to handle the grain in
spection and weighing business at Su.
perior. The commission has received
from the elevator interests $4,000 in
settlement of money expended by the
commission in making the fight for
the Wisconsin system two years ago
All suits have now been dismissed ex
cept the one in the federal court. The
injunction in this one has been SO
modified that the system may be put
into operation here.
While Wisconsin inspection is not
to be given wheat and fax except in
cases where the owners ask for it
the probability is that the, Minnesota
inspectors will not be allowed in Su
perior. They will probably be, com
PEELED to operate at Cass Lake and
other Minnesota points before the
grain gets to Superior. 1t is claimed
the Wisconsin law would not allow Of
the operation in Superior.
That the board of trade will be
built up at Superior is now consid
cred certainty.

to Killing New Born Child.
George Stroll is confined in the
county jail on the charge Of murder
N the first degree, and he has con.
.essed to the killing Of his new born
baby. !.
rev weeks ago the body of a new
porn babe was discovered in a well

and half miles northeast of Merri.
court. The farm had been recently
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. George

moved up into La Moure county dur.
ing the latter part. Of September.
"A coroners jury was impaneled by
Coroner Hodges, and verdict was
returned to the effect that the child
mad been born alive, but because of
the advanced stage of accommodation
IL was impossible to ascertain the
cause OF death. Further investigation
Dy the authorities resulted last week
IN the arrest of George Stroll on the
charge of failing to bury the dead.''
He was brought down from La Moure
county by Sheriff Drew, but steadily
maintained his innocence until yes.
terday. He admitted that baby had
been born. at his home, but that the
Daby was dead and that he had buried
the remains short distance north of
the house. Meantime, however, Mrs.
Stroll, who had come down with her
husband and the sheriff and was stop.
ping In town, had divulged the truth
to States Attorney Cassels. She
stated that on the night of Sept. II
she had given birth to child, and
that she knew it was alive because
she heard it cry. She stated that her
husband had picked up the baby and
ran out Of doors with it. He re-
turned in very short time without
the infant and when she asked him
what he had done with it, he replied:
II threw it in the WE'LL"
Up until Thursday Stroll main
tanned that he had buried the baby
that was born at his home, and that
he had buried it short distance
north of the house. He agreed to &C.
company the officials up to Merricourt
and show them the grave, maintaining
that he could show that the body un.
less it had been dug up by wolves.
Yesterday he was taken to Merri-
court by Sheriff Drew and States At.
torney Cassels, and accompanied by
j. G. Hyde and c.. D. Hathaway, they
started out to the Biederstedt farm.
About half the distance had been
covered when Stroll collapsed and
confessed that there was no grave,
and when the party returned to town
he confessed his crime, his story be-
ing substantially as related by his
wife.
So far as can be learned, no reason
is given by him for committing the
deed. Mrs. Stroll and her remaining
child, two years Of age, returned to
La Moure county, where she has a
number of relatives. It is understood
that Stroll will enter plea of guilty
at the adjourned term of the district
court, which will convene here in
February, but a jury will have to be
impaneled to fix the sentence, this
being required to be done by jury

For they criticize then in a different
