work which he did for northern Min
nesota while in st. Paul during the
past three months. although not

and hope, re-apportionment, he has
done what few could have accom-

each county appointed two of it's
members, Viggo Peterson and A.. e.
Rako for Beltrami county and T. o.
Nelson and Theo. Welte for Clear
water county, to endeavor to reach
an agreement.
They decided that Clearwater
county. should pay to Beltrami coun-
ty $4,000.
The Beltrami county commission
ers decided this afternoon to accept
the agreement of the committees of
the two boards, with the understand
ing that Clearwater pay to Beltrami
$1.100 year for three years thus
settling the old trouble.
1t has been Clearwater's conten-
tion that its tax payers were repuir-
ed to, and did, pay to Beltrami coun-
ty, taxes for county revenue pur-
poses, levied in 1902, in the aggre-
gate sum of $4,000, which said taxes,
were illegally levied, and for which
Clearwater county should have credit.
Various road building contracts
were let by the commissioners as fol-
lows:

nate $500 toward the building of the
road, while Blackjack will aid to the
extent of 5000.

be used in buying memorial gift
for the high school. The Seniors
are considering the question of pur-
chasing needed pictures for the as
sembly room. -.
A special orchestral program UNI
der the direction of Harry Masten
has been provided. ..
''The Rivals" which finds it's set
ting in Bath, England, first was pre-
scented at Covent Garden in 1775. 1t
was made famous in this country by
Joseph Jefferson who, in 1895, with
an all star cast toured the larger
cities of the United States with such
success that every performance had
an average seat sale of $4,000.
Dress Rehearsal Held.
Dress rehearsal was held last night
and the piece was gone through in a
manner highly satisfactory to Miss
Grazing, under whose direction the
play is to be presented.
Alfred Neuman, as Captain Abso-
Lutte, also known as Ensign Berkly,
has splendid opportunity to dis
play his dramatic ability and the
scenes between him and Sir Anthony
Absolute (Louis Larson) are filled
with genuine interest, both young
men showing surprising ability at
the reAearsals.
Other Characters Amusing.
William Russell, in the character
Of Acres, produces much humor by
his epigramatic inventions. Delbert
Ellitson is pleasing as Falkland
while Will Mcdonald as Sir Lucius
O'Trigger, with broad Irish brogue,
is amusing.
Farnom Watson as Fag shows keen
wit. Fay Brenneman is real coach
man and James Malone is at home as
David and Fred Cutter will appear as
''the boy" Lillian Cochran is sure
to create laughs in her role of Mrs.
Malaprop who is strong in her mis-
application of words. Beryl Neil as
Lydia Languish displays varied talent
and Bess Cochran is pleasing as
Julia. Gertrude Malone is sweet in
her simplicity and Martha Galchutt
make the most Of her part as a maid.

Frank A. Whittier, superintendent of
the Red Wing training school, will

less the Board of Control takes action
on it's own part.
Before leaving st. Paul this morn

Governor Has the Authority.
The law has been interpreted so as
to prevent the Board of Control from
discharging Mr.. Whittier unless
charges are brought against him and
he is given a new hearing. The gov
ernor, however, has it within his
jurisdiction to summarily remove Of
ficials on any state institution.
During the governors absence At
torney General George T.. Simpson
gave an opinion holding that the
board of control cannot remove Mr..
Whittier until formal charges have
been filed with it, an Investigation
held and misconduct proved. This
was given in answer to the govern
or's letter to the board, calling for an
inquiry looking to exoneration or re-
moval of the official.
