DELEGATE MAKES REPORT.

The matter Of paramount interest

WALHALLA WANTS
BETTER SERVICE

Walhalla. N. D., March so.--A petit
tion to the chief clerk of the railway
mail service has been signed by Wal
halla business firms asking that he
assist them in getting a connection at
Grafton, N. D., with the Northern Pa
cific flyer both going down and re-
turning from the twin cities. The
change in time necessary to make the
connections is only few minutes
either way and cannot act to disad-
vantage OF either system of railroads.
Such connection would put the morn
ing mails in the twin cities at .. m.
the same day instead Of a. m. the
next day. The connection coming up
would give the local mail twelve to
fifteen hours earlier. AS now served
all of the thorough mail. both out and
in, lays over at Grand Forks eight to
tan hours
Another petition has also been sign
ed asking the state board Of railroad
commissioners to try and get same
connection at Grafton for the accom-
mediation of the travelling public and
betterment of the express service
Such connection as asked would
mean arrival in the twin cities twelve
hours earlier than the present con-
neetion with the Great Northern. The
same gain would be made coming out
Of the twin cities, giving a daylight
service in both cases.

CALL COMMITTEE
TO GATHER HERE
MEETING OF EXECUTIVE BODY
OF NORTH DAKOTA EDucA-
TIoNAL ASSOCIATION WILL BE
HELD IN FARGO FRIDAY, APRIL
l. TO PREPARE FOR coNvEN-
TON.

A call for a meeting of the executive
committee of the North Dakota Edu-
cational association has been issued
by Prof. Clyde Travis, of MayviIle,
N. D., secretary of the association.
The meeting will be held at the Office
Of Supt Matte M. DaviE, Friday, April
l, at which time it is anticipated that
the programme for the nett state con
vention of the educators will be con
sidered in It's preliminary form.
The big state meeting, which goes 10
Bismarck this year, is held in Octc..
Der instead of the last week in De-
cember as has been the custom for
years past. This necessitates early
action in making arrangements. Edu-
Gators considered that the holiday
season belonged to the home, and that
1t was unfair to require teachers ito
cut their visit with relatives short, in
order to attend the state convention,
which every teacher is expected to
derive benefit from.
BY putting the convention ahead
teachers are able to inaugurate new
ideas in their work for the current
year while the ole dates, coming in
the middle of the season, were after
all plans had been laid and the pro-
gramme in the school we'll started.

WHO FOR POLICE CHIEF?
Some Interesting Gossip Anent the
Appointment Of Successor to
The Late Chief Melvey.

A tidbit of city hall news which
for some days has been thought to be
.sub-rosa and denied over and over
again. has gotten beyond the charmed
circle and is now general gossip. The
cherished item relates to the appoint
ment of a permanent successor to the
Iate Chief Of Police Melvey.
To. eervS~ during ting xerious illness
or the @late chief, Mayor Davy appoint
ed Patrolman Erickson to be temporary
chiehkAnd the presumption has been
that AZ Erickson was willing he would
be-. appointed to the position perma :
nently,. but it happens to be that
Erickson has much Higher political
ambitions and has set his optics on a
room OF the southeast corner of the
courthouse in which /. he believes ne
could find ample scope for the exer-
else of his splendid executive ability.
more so than at city police headduar-
tiers. For that reason he is not a
factor in the appointment to be made
by the mayor.
The story which has been fitting
about is that the coveted place is to
be filled by. someone outside the circle
of Moorhead's sturdy Norsemen and
that one of two prominent Hiberni-
ans has been slated for the position,
either A. j. Williams or Tom Cur
ran, the later being the favorite. 1t
Is openly stated that prominent
county commissioner from Moorhead
has the naming of the man for the
consideration of the mayor All of
which is interesting if true. When
one of the aldermen was told the story
he said it was all nonsense, the new
chief will be a Norseman and a man
not at present on the force.

There was a big turn out at the
senior gym class last evening at which
time number OF aerial flights were
accomplished by some of the future
stars. The management has announ-
ed that positively only amateur mem
bers of the Y. NJ. G. A. will be used
in any and all exhibitions. Profess
SIGNALS are not needed and will not
be desired as the "Y" BOYS feel that
the show given in their own way by
their own boys will make a biggerhit
than any set of professional gymnasts
that has ever appeared in Fargo.
The boys department have been
practicing some of their events for
several weeks past and are already in
line for the big exhibition. The big
affair will be pulled off in the Fargo
operahouse. The stage has been cage
fully measured and it is estimated
that it will take some clever planning
to be ablo to crowd in some of the
mass exhibitions on stage of that
space. 1t is quite possible that ex-
ira staging may be built out into the
parquet to accommodate some of the
events.

SWITCHMEN MAY
GET HIGHER WAGES
MEN WILL LIKELY RECEIVE IN
CREASE OF HALF WHAT
THEY DEMAND.

St Paul. Mimi, March 90 The end
Of the switchmen's strike is in sight,
and the men probably win get an in
crease in pay amounting to half what
they have been demanding.
All of the men throwing switches
in the Chicago district and between
Chicago and Detroit. have been grant
ed a 3-cent-an- hour raise. according
to press dispatches. The rate in the
twin cities has always been the same
as in Chicago, and it is looked upon
as likely by both railway men and
switchmen that a similar raise will go
into effec. her in the near future
The roads claim that they are hand
ling the traffic in good shape but the
strikers claim that the roads are still
badly crippled
The action of the roads in this terri
tory is expected to follow the granting
of the increase of l cent in Chicago
last week. The Illinois board ~ ar
bitration gave the trainmen a raise Of
2 cents and a little later the federal
board granted a Scent raise. Tkis puts
st. Paul cents lower than Chicago
President Hawley of tho switch
mems union, says that the men will
have to vote on the proposition of call
ing off the strike. The union has been
demanding that striking switchmen be
taken back. and this point If conten-
ton would have to be settled before
the strike is declared off.

Foreign Markets.

Liverpool, March 30.-Wheat market
was steady at star with values un-
changed to y lower The principal
pressure was in March a a result of
heavy tenders or contract and cheaper
Manitoba offerings Following the
opening offerings became light and
prices advanced 4 from the opening
Support was due 10 the condition of
drought in Kansas and some continen-
tai inquiry for cargoes. Reports from
Argentine are more favorable and ad-
vices from India state that new crop
wheat is being held for higher prices
At midday the market was steady and
unchanged TO "A higher with the ex-
ception of March which was q lower
than yesterday Corn was unchanged
at the opening but later advanced a

India: This country is not offering
the new crop wheat as they consider
the price too low as compared with
the price of linseed and other good
grain. There will be some new wheat
shipped from Calcutta this month.
Argentine: Outland estimates the
surplus of wheat now remaining for
export as 100000 bushels so far
this season the shipments have
amounted roundly-25,0 900. 900 These

Liverpool Cables.

Chicago, March 30.-Liverpool cable
report q decline in March and Il
higher on the distant futures.
Corn a higher. Very little rain
has fallen in the winter wheat belt
during the past twenty four hours, the
cut western Missouri reporting heavi-
est rain fall "a of an inch. We do
not believe the decline viii go much
farther and in our opinion rain will
do but very little good. As the dam
age has been done by winter killing
and not by dry weather. Receipts
of corn about as estimated. Receipts
will probably continue light for some
two or three weeks to come but the
demand is still extremely slow and we
see no prospects of reducing stocks
here.
Receipts of oats light but the de-
mand is equally slow.
Receipts of hogs slightly over the
estimate. Hog market weak but we
do not expect any decline at the mo-
ment. B. p. Co

filing FEE Will
BE PAID in CASS
AUDITOR A. G. LEWIS ANNOUNCE
Es PETITIONS MUST BE ACCOM-
PANIED WITH I PER CENT or
SALARY OF oFFIcE-WAs RE-
FUNDED BY BOARD LAST YEAR.

The story that has made the rounds
of the state to the effect that a fling
fee would not be required this year,
with petitions for nomination, is in
error. so far as Cass. county is con-
cerned at least.
Auditor A. G. Lewis stated this
morning that he has no authority to
accept a petition without the filing fee
of per cent of the salary, which is
required by the 1907 statute The law
has never been tested in the supreme
court and until it is, the auditors are
forced to require the fee.
Last year it viii be recalled the
board of county commissioners refund
ed the fee after election. They Crap
pied the situation and while without
authority, believed that 1t was only
just to refund the money. Prior to
this statute a per cent fee was
charged. It was this law that was
declared unconstitutional.

On all breaks, we believe, the offer
ings will be we'll taken care of and adj

The market Is going higher but not
in a day 1t will be a gradual adj
vance with much breaking and filling
but setbacks are the opportunity to
come in for the real getaway. IL
takes patience to follow this sort of
market but high points of the crop
are ahead Crop news today was
maintained by those claiming damage

Rains will only freshen UP the ground

SEEDING GENERAL
IN PART OF VALLEY
MOST OF THE FARMERS IN
SOUTHERN PART or VALLEY
ARE BUSY WHIPPING THE
GRAIN INTO cRouND-AvER-
AGE ACREAGE THIS YEAR.

1t may be safely said that seeding
is now general In the southern part Of
the Red River valley, an area which
embodies Clay and adjoining counties
along the extreme western border Of
the state. There were instances Of
seeding on the very frst day of spring,
March 81, mostly confined to the put
ting in of wheat. bat one or two am
bilious ones. men who could afford to
take the risk as an experiment, who
loaded UP drills with oats and barley.
The earliest seeding known for years,
making the seeding season, this year,
nearly month earlier than the aver
age. There have been no showers in
this southern part of the valley until
Sunday night and Monday and then
only slight showers Generally the
land conditions are reported to be ex-
cellent.
Authorities say the present outlook
is that there will not be any great
changes in the acreage of grains, but
high prices may stimulate farmers to
put in more fax and corn. More At
tention will be given to root crops for
stock feeding In the matter of pota-
toes Clay county will make just as
big showing as ever and will main
tain its supremacy in the potato mar
kets of the country. But, the coming
season will differ from the last In one
particular, the acreage will be just as
large, perhaps larger. that viii. be gov
erned by conditions at potato planting
time, but there viii be fewer growers
Ia number Of the spasmodic fellows
were badly bitten last fan and they
have decided to leave the raising of
potatoes to the men who known how
to market and know of the markets.
Being tossed about a big potato mar
ket minus a rudder is dangerous bust
ness in the average year.
