GREAT NORTHERN RY. CO.
TO BUILD BRANCH LINE

L. W. Hill. president of the Great
Northern, has authorized the statement
that a branch railroad will be construct
ed this year from Mondak, N. D. to
Glendive, Mont. The exact route has
not been decided. but in a general way
it will follow the Yellowstone river
from it's junction with the Missouri to
Glendive.
This line will aid in the development
of the lower Yellowstone irrigation pro-
iect which has been started by the
government. 1t is estimated that so. 900
families will be able to obtain homes in
the territory. adding to the business
tributary to St. Paul.

AUTOMOBILE HIT
BY A STREET CAR
DRIVER OF MACHINE UNINJuR-
ED, THOUGH AUTO WAS
THROWN THIRTY
FEET.

Grand Forks, N D., Dec. &c. L.
Lindstrom of the Northwestern Trust
Co., was thrown about thirty feet in
his automobile yesterday when he coll
lided with a rapidly moving street car
at the corner Of Fifth street and Cert
rude avenue. The machine suffered
the loss of one wheel and other dam
age but Mr.. Lindstrom, himself, escap-
ed any injuries.
With both the automobile and the
street car moving at a rapid gait,
neither the motorman nor Mr.. Lind
strom were able to prevent the coll
lision. The auto crossed the track
just ahead of the street car but failed
to clear it, and the automobile was
hurled about by the force OF the i'm
pact.
Mr.. Lindstrom was driving along
Fifth street and with the car COM
ing up the avenue, he did not see IL
until too late to make any attempt at
stopping.

Grand Forks, N d., Dec. 23.-L. II.
Hegg, farmer residing in Americas
township, is in the county jail and this
afternoon will be given hearing on an
information alleging insanity. He
was taken in charge by neighbors last
Wednesday evening, and this morning
Deputy Sheriff Benson was called on
the scene to bring him to the city
This is not the first time that Hegg
has been in Jail for having difficulty
in keeping his ideas straight. On Oct.
%, 1906, he was committed to the state
asylum, but on Jan. 10, following, he
was paroled, while in the next July
he received a full discharge
When Hegg reaches the stage where
it appears that his mind wanders, he
becomes exceedingly cranky. Wednes-
day evening on returning from a triI
to the Red river for wood, he refused
to get off the load, and he also refused
to do q few other things asked Of
him. At about that time a neighbol
was called on.
Evidence given in the first case was
to the effect that Hegg had been Wor.
rying over an action involving the
construction OF a drainage ditch, anC
he was also said to have been worried
over religion. Physicians now be,
Iieve, however, that his trouble is du,
to some kind of disease.

new CONDITIONS
FOR MINOT NORMAL
CONDITIONS NOT NET WITH IN
OTHER CASES FOUND THERE
IMMENSE TERRI
TORY.

Minot N. D., Dec. 23.-Conditionf
that North Dakota has not had to
deal with in the upbuilding Of it's edu-
cational institutions will be met
when the time comes for the launch
ing of the new normal school in
Minot, authorized by a constitution
al amendment voted upon favorably in
the recent election. An. appropriation
of $250,000 will be asked of the leg
islative, assembly this winter to do
the first constructive work on what
Minot and people of the northwestern
section of the state believe will, in
time, becomee one of the states big
educational institutions.
Different from conditions that the
older established institutions of the
state experienced when they were
launched, Minots normal must, the
people Of this city say, be started on a
broad plane-on basis great enough
to take care Immediately of an en-
rollment as great as either of the
other state schools now enjoy after
their many years Of existence
An impressive fact that must be
taken into consideration by the leg
islature in making it's appropriation
for the launching of the new normal
is this-that $4,000 people of the
state Of North Dakota reside closer to
Minot than to any of the other educa-
tional institutions. That is, $4,000
people would have to travel less dis
lance to go to Minot than they would
have to travel to go to any of the 9TH
er cities of the state in which the
state educational institutions are To-
Gated.
With this immense territory to draw
from it is absolutely certain that the
early enrollments in the Minot normal
will be greatly larger than those ex-
perienced by the Mayville and Valley
City normals, both OF which were es-
tablished about the time the states
entire population was just a little
larger than that portion of the states
population of today which must
consider Minot as the nearest educa-
tional point. And, too, at the time the
Valley City and Mayville normals
were established there were the other
state institutions also, so that Their
fields were greatly limited as compar-
ed with that which Minot now en-
tiers upon
This immense field that the Minot
normal school is looking for a dis
trict from which it will draw its
students, and the district which II

tered the ground to q great depth.
Those who have watched the evolu-
ton OF the seasons for years in this
section Of the Red ri1er valley claim
that ground frozen to the depth OF
six or seven feet will contain more
moisture after the spring thawing than
ground frozen a fopt and covered with
snow during the winter months as the
ground covered with snow contains
but little frost moisture and the snow
melts and runs OFF the rolling land be-
fore the frost is out sufficiently for 1t
to enter the earth.
A deep snow at this season Of the
year will halt the further freezing of
the ground and in the spring it will
be weeks before the frost is out of
the ground, and in the meantime the
sun has been at work and the snow
has melted and Joined the freshets,
leaving the uplands as dry as during
the previous fall.

Insurance Commissioner Cooper
Issues His Biennial Report

The reports states that there is but
small application for plate glass, fidel-
ity and employers liability companies
and also says that there is generally
a lot of litigation In the settlement of
the claims against this class of COM
panies.
The directory in the report shows
that there are sixty -four stock COM
panies doing a fire, lightning and tor
.nado business and thirteen state mu-
tual companies in the same line OF
business and the report states that the
department has received very few ii
any complaints about the manner in
which their business is conducted.
There are six joint stock and two
mutual companies engaged in the hail
insurance business. While the loss to
this class of companies has been rather
heavy for the past two years there
has been little complaint about the
settlements that have been made. The
business of 1909 showed loss for ev-
cry company engaged i'm the business
in the state. Mr.. Cooper thinks there
is all the legislation required for this
class of business.

unique SITUATION
IN OLIVER COUNTY
BECAUSE SUPERINTENDENT WAS
NOT QUALIFIED, HE CANNOT
HOLD OFFICE.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. ga decision
has been handed down in the supreme
court Of North Dakota which renders
the election of S. Fl. Clark to the office
Of county superintendent of schools OF
Oliver county at the general elections
'of 1908 and 1910 a nullity, and in con-
sequence oliver county finds itself in
the unique position of having county
superintendent holding Office until a
successor is duly elected and qualified
in 1912, who was elected to the posi-
tion in 1906
At the general election of 1904 Mrs.
Iva o. Jenness was elected county SUI
perintendent Of schools, and she was
re- elected to the office in 1906. Mrs.
Jenness Is q graduate of one Of the
Minnesota normal schools and pos
sesses all the qualifications required by
law for the holder of this potion. The
law of North Dakota requires that in
such a county as oliver the county
superintendent must hold at least a
first grade county certificate. There
are only a few Of the North Dakota
counties at present which have this
requirement, as most Of them require
first grade state certificate
At the primary election of 1908 Mrs.
Jenness was opposed by S. H. Clark,
a resident of Oliver county who lacked
the legal qualifications for office. Mr..
Clark, it is said, was not the holder
Of a teachers certificate of any kind,
nor is he graduate of any educational
institution, and IL Is further stated that
he never taught school. However, Mr..
Clark won the nomination at the pri-
maries, and at the November, 1908,
election was elected to the Office with
out opposition.
On Jan. 1, 1909, when Clarks term
Of office was supposed to begin, Mrs.
Jenness refused to voluntarily surren-
der the office. Action was then started
10 determine who was entitled to hold
the office.
The situation became still more com
plicated because of the results Of the
1910 election. At the June primaries
Mr. Clark was again nominated for the
office by the republicans. and was re-
elected by them in November without
| opposition.
The decision just handed down by
the supreme court holds that in view
or the fact that Mr., Clark did not pos
sess the legal qualifications for office
that his election is null and void. and
that therefore Mrs. Jenness is entitled
TO remain in office by virtue of the
provisions of the law which state that
the regularly elected incumbent of the
office is entitled to hold the same until
his successor is legally elected and
qualified"

Bismarck, N. d., Dec. 23.-Commis-
sioner of Insurance e. G. Cooper has
just issued the eleventh biennial re-
port of the insurance department of
North Dakota and besides telling of the
work of the department of the past
two years makes a number Of recon-
mendations as to changes to be made
in the conduct Of the department. He
renews the recommendations OF 19OS-9
with reference to the employment Of
an actuary for the department and
calls attention to the fact that there
was turned into the general funds of
the state in 1909 about $4,000 from
the insurance department and thinks
that the employment Of an actuary
would be benefit not only to the
companies who have to pay this money
but to the policy holders as well.
He recommends that the legislature
take some steps towards preventing
fire waste and calls attention to the
recommendations made in his previous
reports.
In connection with the above recon-
mendation Mr.. Cooper believes in the
adoption Of fire marshal law and
thinks this would greatly reduce the
loss from incendiary fires.
Attention is called to the need of
some sort of a move to place the fra
ternal beneficiary societies in the state
on a sound financial basis and a bill
drawn up by men well posted in the
insurance business and which was dis
cussed at the annual meeting of state
insurance commissioners and known
as bill For the Regulation and Con-
troll OF all F'raternal Benefit Societies
as adopted by the national convention
of insurance commissioners held In
August Of this year at Mobile, Ala.
Recommendation is made for The
Standardization of policies issued By

is stated that some legislation might
be well passed upon this question
which would work out to the adyan.

Want The FIELDS
To REMAIN BARE

Wahpeton, N. d., Dec. ga num-
Der of Richland county's prominent
farmers who plant several sections OF
land to small grain every year state
that they hope the fields will remain
bare the balance OF the winter and that
the frost win enter to an abnormal
depth.
AS an explanation for the unusual
desire they state that as the fields are
now frozen to the depth of five and six
feet the snow fall in the spring would
melt and run off before the ground
thawed sufficiently for 1t to soak into
any depth.
For the first time in years this Sec
ton of the Red river valley has gone
without snow in any quantities until
long after the annual freeze up. The
first snow in sufficient quantities to
cover the surface of the ground fell
on Dec q, while the fall freeze-uI
occurred Nov. IA, considerably earlier
than in previous years. Owing to thF
early freeze-up and the exceptionalls
dry summer and fall the frost has en-
