THE PAsSAGEOE THE
APPROPRIATION
!. !. BILL |
University Alumni Have TAX
en- the Matter Up and Start
Movement.
IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED

Named.
IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED

A concerted movement Is on foot
among the alumni of the State univer-
sity looking toward the passage of the
the appropriation bills recently in
troduced into the legislature by Sena-
tor ]. D. Taylor of this city. A large
number of the alumni will congregate
in this city within a day or two and a
committee will be picked, this COM
mittee to act in conjunction with the
students now attending the institution
for the purpose of securing statistics
as to the work being done, the growth
and other figures showing the need for
the various buildings as outlined in
tho bill.
The bill as introduced calls for an
appropriation of $4,000 to be used
for library, girls dormitory, school of
mines building, assembly hall, repairs
of Davis hall and other necessary i'm
provements which are very imperative
for the future welfare Of the larg-
est institution in the state. e
The alumni and student committees
will have printed circulars mailed to
each member of the legislature; then
members of the association in the diff
ferent districts will write personal
letters to their representative in the
legislature and on top of this in
fluentia1 graduates will go to the state
capitol and see the bill through safe
ly. Many of the graduates have been
out in business life for 10 and IA years
and in that time have risen to places
of prominence and the united efforts of
these men should draw the attention
of the legislators to the fact that the
University of North Dakota must have
money-money for repairs and new
buildings which must be completed.
No one who has ever visited the
institution will deny that a new as
sembly hall is needed, that a gymnas-
ium is a necessity, that good sewer
age system is imperative, that wo-
mems dormitories must be erected and
that a modern library building is de-
sirable when it can be secured at half
the cost with Andrew Carnegles offer
of $4,000 within grasp.
The bill as introduced by Senator
Taylor calls for the following:
To construct sewer from the state
university and school of mines to con-
meet with the city sewer of the city
of Grand Forks at the nearest point,
$4,000. ~ 81 :1,s u.s. ~
J. To supplement the gift of Andrew
Carnegie toward the erection of a
Carnegie library at the university $780,

sembly hall, armory; and gymnasium,
$4,000. A. ~ -
For the erection of building for

For the erection of a girls dormi-
tory, 100000.
For needed repairs to the young
women's dormitories known as Davis
hall and the Cottage, $4,000.

THE BIG GAS
CHIMNEY
Has Been Found Necessary to
Reinforce the Tall Smoke
Stack.

Residents in Vicinity Need Not

IS NO DANGER OF FALL

The huge cement smoke stack tow
ering over the plant of the Grand
Forks Gas and Electric company is
cracking, and workmen have been en-
gagged in reinforcing the chimney for
the past week. The cracks made
their appearance over a week ago
running around the stack in parallel
lines, the first showing itself about
thirty feet from the ground. Another
is located about midway up. Resi-
dents of the blocks and apartment
houses nearby need have no alarm,
however, as there is no immediate
danger of collapse. If there was
the city authorities would have gotten
busy some time ago.
The chimney is made entirely of
cement with iron bars running hori-
zontally and vertically through the
cement and the structure is guaran-
teed by the company which had the

being now in the city looking after
the work of reinforcing it. Additional

the whole to be covered with another
layer of cement eight inches in thick
ness. The reinforcements will start
about 80 feet. up and will continue
to the first narrowing, a distance of
about So feet.
City Engineer Smith was asked con-
corning the proposition this morning
and stated that the cracking of cement
chimneys is no uncommon occurrence
and to substantiate his statement cited
the case Of the Twin City Transit COM
pany of Minneapolis. The chimney
over this plant was erected several
years ago and has occasioned several
kinds of trouble since that time.
Every year, regularly, cracks omin-
ously make their appearance over the
entire stack and workmen are at once
rushed to the work and iron rein
forcements similar to those being
utilized in this city are applied. This
year the crevices became so threaten

WALSH COUNTY MAN KILLS SWEETHEART
IN CROWDED HOTEL DINING room
MURDERER NOW
IN GRAFTON JAIL
Crime-Murder
Where Committed - Fairdale,
Walsh county.
Time-Sunday evening.
Dead-Miss Annie Engalsrud.
Her Slayer-Otto Weberg.

Shot and killed by the man VINO low
ed her and who wished to be her hus-
band was the fate of 1S-year-old Annie
Engalsrud, waitress in the hotel ut
Fairdale, Walsh county.
The crime was committed Sunday
evening in the dining room of the hotel.
Ten persons in the room at the time
were witnesses to the affair. The
murderer has been arrested, and is in
the county jail at Grafton.
Otto Weberg, "a years of age is the
man held, and he is resident of Park
River.
The above, in brief, is the story of
q most spectacular dastardly murder,
in which the victim, girl hardly out
of short dresses, suffered at the hands
of the man whom she had refused to
marry.
Although she had been threatened
before with death If she did not ac-
cede to the wishes of Weberg, AMI,
though he had pulled a revolver on a
former occasion and she had sought
safety IN flight, the girl approached him
last evening as he sat at the table
in the dining room of the Fairdale'
hotel unsuspectingly. She began to
take his supper order. Suddenly he
flashed revolver and fired point
blank. The bullet entered her body
near the heart, and death was almost
instantaneous.
For few minutes panic reigned in
the small dining room. Chairs and
tables were overturned in the excite
ment until some of the cooler heads
took charge.
The body of the girl was removed to
another room and medical aid sum-
mond. Death however came before
assistance reached her.
Weberg was at once taken into Gus
tody, a deputy sheriff taking him in
charge. This morning he was brought
to Grafton and placed in the county
Jail.
An inquest will be held at Fairdale
as soon as the coroner can reach the
scene. = g
A Times representative at Grafton
Auauc oil SAVTI W luCeTVloW the dC-
cused man this morning, but was re-
fused admittance to the Jail.
Weberg had, it seems, been on in
innate terms with the girl for some
time. Last summer he went to work
on a railroad crew. This winter when
he returned to Fairdale, the victim of
Sunday night shooting refused to have
anything to do with him. Several days
ago Weberg pulled a revolver on her
and on that occasion she sought safety
in flight. ~
The deed was a most cold blooded
affair, and it has aroused the people
to a fever heat. There is some talk
of lynching but there is very little
probability that anything of the sort
will follow, insomuch as the officials
succeeded in getting the man from the
scene of his crime so quickly. He is
being guarded constantly, as it is be-
lieved that II he had an opportunity to
do SO, he would cimmitt suicide.

OTHER CITIES ARE MAMNG
CASH OFFERS FOR LOCATION
Committee to Meet in February to
Discuss Plans-Grand Forks Com.
mercial Club Should Busy Itself
Fargo, jamestown, Devils Lake and
Bismarck All After New Institution.

A meeting of the committee ap-
pointed by the North Dakota churches
of that denomination to investigate
the proposition for the establishment
of state Presbyterian college has
been called for Feb. z either in Grand
Forks or Fargo, and If anything is to
be done toward securing the institu-
ton for Grand Forks, plans should
be formulated Immediately.
In a letter received this morning
by w. H. Kelsey from one of the COM
mittee it was stated that Jamestown
has come forward with an offer Of
$4,000 for the location of the college
there while Bismarck has offered $40
900. Devils Lake, too, has come for
ward with very promising offer and
several other cities of the state,
Fargo among the number, are also
working to secure the institution pro-
posed.
In the letter above mentioned, the
writer stated that the committee would
also thoroughly investigate the idea
of afiliation with the state university
in this city, and if the plan is feasible,
would likely choose this city as the
location for the institution.
Grand Forks is natural location
for such a college, and an institution
Of this character would help more
than any one thing perhaps to keep
Grand Forks in her position as the
leading city of the state. Thousands
of dollars are expended every year by
the students Of an Institution of this
class and even from a pure CONNER
cial standpoint, the money offered as
an inducement is soon repaid many
fold.

CHANGE IS WANTED
IN BANKING
An Amendment Will be Up
Before Legislature This
Winter at Bismarck.
TO DETERMINE VALUE
Of Shares Held by stockhold-
ers of the In
stitutions.

A bill bearing upon the taxation of
banks in North Dakota will be pre-
sented at the present session of the
legislature. Under the present law
there is considerable dissatisfaction.
If bank has a capital of $4,000 and
has $4,000 invested in lands, this
$4,000 is taken from the capital stock,
and the assessment made upon the
$4,000 remaining. Mr.. Wineman, au-
thor of the bill to be introduced,
thinks that only the assessed valua-
ton of such properties in which the
bank has money invested should be
taken from the capital stock, and he
covers the matter in the following
bill.
For an act to amend section 1905
of the revised codes of 1905, relating
to the assessment of bank stocks.
Be it enacted by the legislative as
sembly of the state of North Dakota:
Section l. Amendment That Sec
tion 1903 of the revised codes of 1905
be, and the same is hereby amended
so as to read as follows:
Section 1903. The stockholders of
every bank located in this state,
whether such bank has been organ
lied under the banking laws of this
state, or the United States, shall be
assessed and taxed upon the values
of their shares of stock, in the coun-
ty, town, district, city or village, where
such bank or banking association is
located, and not elsewhere, whether
such stockholders reside in such
places or not; such shares shall be
listed and assessed annually, with re-
gard to the ownership or valuation
thereof on the first day of April of
each year. To aid the assessor in de-
termining the value of such shares of
stock, the accounting officer of every
bank shall furnish a statement to the
assessor, verified by oath, showing
the amount and number of such shares
OF capital stock of such bank, the
amount of its surplus or reserve fund
and undivided profits in excess of an
amount equal to five per cent of the
loans and discounts of such bank:
the amount of its net assessment in
real estate, which real estate shall be
returned in the name of the bank and
shall be assessed and taxed as other
real estate is under this article. To
determine the real value of such real
estate investments the assessor shall
strike from his lists all real estate
which said bank has sold to any party
or parties under any contract where
by the party or parties making and
signing such contract agrees to nay
all taxes levied against said property.
Inc assessor shall deduct the as
sessed valuation Of said investment in
real estate from the aggregate amount
OF such capital and surplus, and the
remainder shall be taken as a basis
for the valuation of such shares of
stock in the hands of the stockholders
subject to the provisions of law re-
curing all property to be assessed at
Its true and full value. The shares
of capital stock in national banks not
located in this state, held in this
state, shall not be required to be list
ed under this article.
