Judge Upholds State Board.

Bismarck-Judge Winchester in
chambers ruled that the state board Of
university and school lands was within
it's rights in cancelling the sale Of GER
tain lands in Steele county. The lands
were appraised and sold at regular
public auction on December /, 1909,
but when it came up to the, board they
deposited money was returned to the
purchasers. The land is very desirable
property and the men who had made
the purchases were loath to give up the
bargain they had secured and took the
matter into court, with the result that
Judge Winchester of Bismarck decided
in favor Of the board. The contention
of the board was that there was not
sufficient amount to bid to justify them
in letting the lands go. There were
seven quarters involved in the deal.

Spectators Disappointed.

London, Aug. 15.-Spectators who

mystery was continued, hoping to hear
new sensational discoveries in con-
nection with the remains found in the
cellar Of the Crippen residence in Hill
Drop Crescent, drew blanks.
Little happened beyond the facts al
ready known. The officials decided to
withhold the scientific evidence regard

mains found in the cellar as we'll as
any discoveries which the investiga-

Montana two more companies of SOL

forty acre fire is reported from the
Crazy mountain portion of the Alraroks
forest. The situation there is not ser
ious but on the Cabinet forest reserve
the conditions are grave.
Forestry officials have reported that
twenty horses and force of men are
marooned somewhere in the Clearwater
country. Their exact location can not
be ascertained. The Kootenay forest is
threatened by a blaze having a twelve
mile front. A bad fire has broken out
in the Bitter Root forest and the state
militia may. be called out If the situa.
ton grows more acute.

Proposed New Railroad.

Valley City.-That Valley City is to
have new railroad was demonstrated
Monday, when blue prints of the pro-
posed line were fled with County Aud
itor Nelson. According to these the
new road will cross the county line,
and the river on the southeast quarter
Of section Sc in Oakhill township, and
follow the west side Of the river to Sec
lions ! and 2 on township line, when it
again crosses to the east side and
thence direct north to Valley City.
The proposed road is designated on
the blue print as the Dakota South
ern.'' This is the same name as the
new road that is proposed to enter
Fargo from the north Of that city into
Ransom county. Evidently both these
roads are branches or feeders for some
main line-possibly the Milwaukee.

Out by Flames,


Out by Flames.
Brussels, Aug. 15.-The ruins Of the
burned sections Of Belgium's EXPOSE
ton of 1916, destroyed by yesterdays
fire, ase still smoking. At meeting
early today the executive committee
of the exposition decided to close it
for few days in order to clear away
the ruins of the destroyed sections
Then the exposition will be reopened
There were two deaths in the fire and
about thirty injured.
It is impossible in the present con-
fusion to estimate closely the losses
in the fire which last night swept
through the Belgium exposition Of 1910,
wiping out whole sections of fairylilse
architecture and causing the loss Of
two lives, but the damage will run
into millions Of francs. The entire
Belgian and British sections, the whole
tennessee of Brussels, The Coney Is
land of the exposition, with water
chutes, toboggan slides and other spe-
cial entertainments and everything
west of the avenue des Nations, were
destroyed, but by heroic work of the
firemen and troops in the early hours
of the morning and the use Of dyna-
mite in blowing up buildings in the
path of the flames the fire was
checked.

Kenzie county for the greater part of

The line is now located from the mouth
Of the Little Missouri to within a few

The fact that preliminary survey

Cgust apportionment is made. There
were this morning only thirteen coun.
ties in. All Of the counties reporting
show an increase, even Pembina, which
has shown decreases for the past three
years this year comes to the front with
an increase Mckenzie county shows
the largest increase returning 45 per
cent over the last enumeration. It IL
estimated that when all the returns are
in it will place the school population
at about $4,000 which will be gain Of
more than s per cent over last year.
The enumeration being made up at
present is for the school year ending
June so 1910.
It will be impossible to arrive at the
apportionment this year until all the
counties have reported and until the
land commissioner has filed his report.
There is at the present time, 1885,

has the least with $1,000. Cass county
has $4,000 while Grand Forks has 90, 800
and Burleigh comes to the front with
$90.S50. There maye be some change
in those figures as the board at the
last meeting approved about a quarter
of a million dollars of farm loans, but
the proportion will remain about tho
same.

Of schools has recently compiled figures

PROF. soLLEY SAYS THE STATES
q LEADING CROP MAY BE
ExTERMlNATED.
ATTACKED BY PARASITES
Flax Has Many Enemies in Germs in
the Soil That Remain From Year
to Year-Farmers Should
Write Professor.

Fargo.-Professor Bolley, through tie
studies with the flax crop during pc
elod OF approximately twenty years has
reached results in his work which as
sure him that there is no reason why
the crop should be lost to the farmers
OF the northwest.
At the same time he has reached
as definite conclusion that the crop
will be lost unless the growers Of flax
seed In each and every community can
be brought to understand that this
crop is attacked by persistent root
diseases. parasitic fungi which remain
year after year in the soil. Further,
the farmers must learn that it is alb
solutely essential to follow proper
methods Of seed treatment and proper
methods of handling the soil in order
to keep the ground in healthy con-
dition for this crop.
For this reason he has decided to
undertake campaign Of education re-
garding fax and its products and cul-
ture and especially regarding the
method 6f handling the seed and the
soil, which shall be very much more
definite in its attempt to reach the
farmer directly than has heretofore
been done. He feels tina, the fax crop
and all Of its allied industries are
essentially at stake in the northwest.
The fact that the crop is especially
light this year in North Dakota and
the northwestern states because of
the excessive drouth, makes this work
all the more difficult and all the more
important.
Any farmer who wishes information
regarding flax or any farmer who has
this year grown good grade Of any
one Of the pure breeds Of flax should
put himself in communication with
Professor Bolley. If any peculiar dis
ease or difficulties in the growth Of the
crop have been noticed specimens and
information regarding the same should
be mailed to him at once. and will re-
ceive careful attention.
