CHOSE 4. W. SMITH SuPT.
New Board OF Education Ignores Sc
lection Of {. S. YoungdahI.

A. w. Smith was on Tuesday
morning reelected superinten-
dent of the city schools of Bot
tineau at salary of $500 a
year.
This action was taken shortly
after the board of education or
ganized for the ensuing year
by the election of John II. G..
Turner as president and George
B. Everson as secretary. All
the members of the board were
present and Directors Croisse-
tier and Turner were recorded
as favoring Mr.. Smith. Director
Besancon refused to acquiesce.
The action of the new board
Tuesday is another chapter in
the school fight with which the
community has been regaled
for several months.
On June 8 Directors Croisse-
tier and Besancon elected E. S.
Youngdahl of Northwood as
superintendent and the presi-
dent and secretary of the board
entered into a contract with
him. AS there was a vacancy
on the board made by J. N.
Greiner' removal to Canada,
two members of the present
board considered the selection
of Youngdahl illegal and
completely ignored it.
1t is not likely that Mr..
Youngdahl would attempt to
take charge of the schools.
The matter will probably then
get into the courts.

Bottineau county was visited
by one of the most destructive
hail storms in it's history Tues
day afternoon and in a few
minutes thousands of acres of
crops were completely Destroy
ed. The total loss is hard to
estimate but will easily exceed
100000.
The greatest damage was
done in the northeast part of
the county, the storm sweeping
strip from three to five miles
wide from Scotia township,
past Roth and Souris and across
the Turtle mountains to the
Rolette county line. The path
of the storm lies along the line
dividing g townships 1862 and 1853.
In the path of the storm many
fields were completely devastat-
ed, trees were stripped of leaves
and even meadows and hay
fields laid waste. We have
been unable to procure a list of
those who suffered losses but

lake Meeting ABANDONED
Rain Interferes with Open AIr Masonic
Communication at Metlgoshe.

The continual rains Tuesday
and Wednesday made it i'm
possible for the Masons to hold
their annual outdoor communi-
cation at Park island, Lake
Metigoshe. The rain fell al
most incessently at the lake
from Tuesday to Wednesday
afternoon.
Grand Master H. Bendeke
arrived from Grand Forks Mon
day evening to take part in the
ceremonies and a number of
brethren from the surrounding g
lodges and from Minot, Bantry,
Berthold and other points.
Had the weather been favorable
there would have been a large
attendance from all portions of
the northwestern part of the
state.
On "Wednesday afternoon it
was decided to abandon the
meeting for this year and as
many as could obtain convey
ance came down to Bottineau,
where a meeting was held in
the Masonic temple in the even
ing. The third degree was
conferred upon George Clark.
A number of visitors were pres
ent, including Grand Master
Bendeke, who gave short
talk at the conclusion of the
work. He promised to again
visit Tuscan lodge later in the
year. A luncheon was served
at the Turtle cafe at the close
of the session.
It is regretted that the ele-
ments interfered with the out
door communication at Metz
goshe, as the Masons this year
had anticipated an unusually
interesting meeting.

OVER THE COUNTY
Thousands Of Acres Of Crops Destroyed in Northeastern
Part Of Bottineau County and Along 500 Line
Between Cardena and Russell,

there is scarcely a farm i'm the
rritory visited by the storm
which was not more or less
affected and in most instances
the loss is total. Not many of
the farmers in this portion of
the county carry hail insurance.
u The storm also struck south
of Antler and number of
farmers in that portion of the
county were hailed out.
Another storm of equal vio-
lence visited the territory along
the 500 railroad from Russell
to Gardena, and while the
losses in this territory are not
so general as in the mountain
district yet many acres of
valuable crop were destroyed.
Other portions of the state
were visited by the hail at the
same time, as will be seen by
the following dispatch in We'd

season yesterday morning, and
from reports received last
night, an unusually large
amount of damage to growing
crops was suffered in at least
four counties-Benson, Botti-
neau, Cavalier and Pembina.
BOttineau county was evidently
the ehardesthit, several thousand
acres in the vicinity sof Carbury,
Souris, Bottineau and Russell
being an almost total loss. In
Benson county the damage
strip lies between Churchs
Ferry and Brinsmade, and
several large farms in that
vicinity will be heavy losers.
Hail fell with unparalleled
violence in a narrow strip be-
tween Calvin and Carries in
Cavalier county, covering the
fields several inches thick.
The damage in Pembina was
near the Red river, south and
southwest of Carlisle, which is
a few miles northeast of Hamil- :
ton. Terrific rain was general
throughout the whole north
eastern section of the state and
was not particularly needed at
this time"
