START BUILDING soon
Expected That A. c. Will Meet EarIv
In April to Arrange For
Chemical Building.

1t Is expected that meeting of the
board Of directors of the Agricultural
college will be held early in April to
receive plans for a new cher,ical
building to replace the one that was
destroyed by fire on last Christmas
eve. While the exact time of this
meeting has not been decided on, II
is the intention of the members of the
board to let the contract for this struc-
ture at as early date as possible so
that 1t may be finished and ready for
occupancy early in the fall.
Pres. j. Fl. Worst of the college said
this afternoon that as soon as the
contract is let work can be started
on the building, as much of the brick
from the old laboratory is in as good
shape as 1t was when put into it and
can be used in the new structure. thus
avoiding any delay in securing build
ing material. The new edifiCe will be
much larger than the one that was
burned.

AMENDMENT.

Washington, March 4.-Friends of
the administration postal savings bank
did not feel greatly assured as to its
prospects of passage. when the senate
resumed consideration of the measure
today. with the idea Of disposing of it
during the day. The adoption of the
pending Cmmins amendment to the
Smoot amendment it is felt would
place the bill itself in jeopardy, and
they were strong in the opinion that
every other matter should give way to
the justification of the Smoot provis-
ion unchanged.
The Smoot amendment provides that
when, in the judgment of the presi-
dent war or any other exigency in
volving the credit of the government
so requires, the board of trustees may
withdraw all or any part of said funds
from banks and invest the same in the

Chicago, March 4.-Chief ." Police
Steward has prepared a nNt little
April fool joke for the Chicago pub
lie on "All Fools Day" BY his orders
all street cars will stop on the near
corner on that day, and every day
thereafter.
The chief of police has no intention
Of springing his joke on an unsuspect-
ing public. SO he is giving months
warning of mis- purposes.
Nevertheless, he and the street rail-
way officials both expect to fool" at
least 100000 by this trifling change, be-
cause force of habit will lead that
many to the far corner, even though
they have been warned to the con-
trary.
the plan of having cars stop on the
near corner is not a new one. 1T was
tried here about fifteen years ago. and
was then abandoned in response to
the pleadings of car patrons, that thew
could not learn new habits.
1t is claimed that the new system
will expedite the handling of cars. and
will prevent congestion during the

VALIDITY OF Law
PLACED At STAKE
STATES ATTORNEY FOWLER
HOLDS THAT VALUATION OF
RAILROADS ONLY CAN BE
FIXED BY STATE BOARD
OTHERS NOT INCLUDED.

According to a written opinion fled
with the board of county commission
ers by States Atty. A. w. Fowler, he
holds law passed at the 1907 SEES
sion of the state legislature is uncon-
stitutional.
The matter was brought forth when
a lot owned by the North Dakota indie
pendent Telephone Co. at Page was
assessed by the local assessor.
According to the law of 1907 all rail-
roads, telephone, telegraph and ex-
press companies make returns of their
property to the state board and not 10
the local assessor.
The state constitution provides that
all property except that of railroads
shall be assessed by the local officials
except institutions of a charitable, be-
nevolent or religious nature.
The state board apportions the as
sessment in proportion to the mileage
of the lines. It is very apparent that
localities where costly plants and
buildings and located suffer in that
part of this valuation goes into town
SHIPS where the company has only
lines.
In connection with the railroads. the
constitutions covers this point, but
the states attorney holds that express
telephone and telegraph companies
should be assessed locally.
1t Is likely that the case will he
taken to the supreme court in order
that the point may be settled for ali
times.
