INTERVIEWED I. Il. POOLE

\
The Fargo Call had an interview
with Private T. II. Poole, who was
east bound Saturday. Speaking of the
court martial decision, he said that
the rumor that he would be dismissed
from the service, by the verdict, was
probably correct, but he believed the
proof from which the verdict was
made would not pass muster in case
the testimony was reviewed by any
regular army reviewing officers. The
Call said that its informant was not
officially aware that a warrant had
been issued for his arrest by state
official at Bismarck, and that he had
been in Bismarck during the past
week attending public functions and
was able to be found by any officer of
the law. He regretted the retire.
ment Of Capt. Armstrong, who had
been great benefit to the guard Of
the state without any expense to the
state. Mr.. Poole said that he ex-
pected to engage in the banking bus
i9ess next month at point in the
state.

TELLS.OF BIG
FREEZE IN FLORIDA

W. S. Moxon of jamestown who
is now making trip in the south,
writes from Jacksonville, Fla, Feb
Goth:
Il have been in jacksonville two
weeks but owing to the heavy frost
January Goth which killed everything
killable, the appearance of the city
and country are not so attractive and
favorable as If the big freeze had not
occurred. Jacksonville is a city of
$500 people situated 20 miles from
the mouth of the St. Johns river.
The stream here being one half mile
in width with rise of tide Of l8
inches, just a swell. There are q
number of shipping docks and much
ocean traffic. The city is clean as to
its streets and general appearances.
The resident portion being specially
attractive, and houses are large and
roomy with a fire place. or crate in
each room. Grounds are we'll kept
and make neat appearance. The
shade trees are mostly of magnolia.
oak and maple. There are palm trees
about 20 feet high with an average
diameter of l8 inches at the base,
scattered around the yards and
streets of the city. / have been in the
country to look at the truck farms,
which are usually owned by whites.
who employ all colored labor. The
land does not look to be very pro.
ductive as it seems to be mostly
white sand, but I saw some very
fine strawberries and all other kinds
of garden truck growing that looked
good enough to have been grown on
better looking land. They don't irri-
gate. Strawberries are commencing
to turn their color and they are as
fine as any have seen, also there
are a number of small orange or
chards to be seen here the trees
loaded with fruit. The peach or
chards are in full bloom and not a
leaf on the trees. The truck farm
ers can dispose of their. products in
Jacksonville at good prices. Living
here is expensive. All kinds of pro-
duce aud meat are high. The wealth
er is too warm for comfort for North
erners, but the natives have a pine
knot fire in the crate every night and
morning. This afternoon was as
warm as many June days in North
Dakota, but there is big open fire
in the fireplace ten feet from where
I am writing and there are also plen-
ty of house flies and some mosquitoes.
However, it is quite an agreeable
change for a northern person, espec-
tally from as far north as our state.
I expect to remain here few days
longer and then 60 to New Orleans.

How Grand Forks Works It.
The appropriation committees find
it hard TO meet the demands Of the
state institutions. The University
of Grand Forks has always had a
"big mitt" out in this respect. A
blue print which has been issued by
the University to show the necessity
of large appropriation tor new
buildings has attracted attention
and an investigation Of the capacity
Of the buildings for the attendance
of the students has called still fur
ther attention to the situation. 1t
is alleged that at least one-third Of
the students attending the "Univer-
sity are from the city Of Grand Forks
and from their age and qualifications
for admission to university, should
be. in the high school department Of
the city instead of at the preparatory
department of the university. If
such students were attending the
Grand Forks city schools there would
be plenty of buildings and plenty Of
instructors at the university. The
city of Grand Forks gets pupils edu-
Gated at the expense of the tax pay
ers Of the state instead of Grand
Forks.
Gov. Burke yesterday signed the

OPPOSITION TO d.
V|DINC 5th DISTRICT
Proposed Bill Meets Opposition
in Certain Counties. Leg
islative Notes.

The report of the legislative com.
mittee investigating the state pen
was made in part Tuesday. The re
port condemns the absence of
proper business method in the mat
ter of bookkeeping. especially as con
nected with the Irvine plant and the
brick yard. The records show tran.
sactions and sales Of brick to other
than state::institutions, with amount
paid and credits from outside pur-
chases, but no proper accounting Of
the number of brick so sold. The
report contains no charges of fraud.
The same lack Of bookkeeping in the
connection with the prison farm, in
the matter Of grain raised and its
disposition is noted by the commit
tee. There are IA charges formulated
against the former management of
the pen on all but one of which the
commit tee expects to make report
before the legislature adjourns. The
charge regarding rebates on twine
and the discrimination in selling
prices will not be reached before the
session adiourns.
Senator McCumber's amendment
to the river and harbor bill provides
for surveys and .revetment work on
the upper Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers in the following amounts: Ju-
dith, Mont, $4,000, Fort Benton,
IS, 600; Mondak, Sl5,0OO; Wi]liston,
S20, 600; Expansion, $4,000: Mandan,
SIS, 600; Sangoa $4,000; ..Washburn,
$40, 900; Bismarck, $2O,0OO.
It is said the survey will be au-
thorized but fear is expressed that
improvement work will not be pro-
vided for at this session.
One of the late bills introduced in
the house is to provide for the in
spection Of barber shops and the ap-
pointment of an inspector and the
holding of examinations.
The bill to give the secretary of
the railroad, commission decent SAL
ary to live upon, or s24O0 a year, is
favorably considered.
The appointments to be made by
the governor are expected to be
handed in this week.
1t is said that it costs the state
nearly 81, 600 for each graduate Of the
Mayvile Normal school but the bill
to abolish that school will probably
fail to pass.
There seemed to be a fight upon
the proposed revision of the fifth ju-
dicial district and the creation. of. an
additional district as recommended
by attorneys. Since the proposition
was first launched much opposition
has developed to it from certain parts
of the district.
The bills to divide the state into
two congressional districts, one along
the north and south line, and the
other along the east and west line,
are likely to 60 to.the bone yard. In
the census of 1910 it is expected that
North Dakota will show a sufficient
increase in population so that third
congressman can be had in this state.
and division into districts will
probably be deferred until then.
The bill prohibiting the employ.
ment Of relatives in state or county

sition from various sources. 1t is
