action on request from some of the
patrons Of school district No. 121 and
No. So, the latter being known as the
Hunter district, and obtained the two
districts. The change was made to
give the combined district more money
with which to operate its schools, and
according to the information given

mutual from all the patrons of both
school districts, and they ordered the

name which does not set forth the
full and individual names of every
person or persons interested IN the
business, unless such person shall

son And HIS WIFE

Portland, Ore, Jnly IA hug, a
kiss and fervent salutation, "Oh you
little DEAR" was the greeting Mrs. H.
F. Chaffee Of Armenia, N. D.; gave her
new daughter-in-law when she met her
clipping SON and pretty young bride as
they stepped from the Shasta limited
here. She had FASTENED from south
ern California by an earlier train to
intercept them. Then turning, to her
son, who stood smiling with a suit
case on one arm and his bride on the
other. she cried "You think you are
very smart, don't your" That was all
there was to it.
Friends of the young man here

terview.

out of this little affair" she said as
Everybody is happy and that is all
there is to it. Ny boy is pleased, and
I am concerned for his pleasure"
Just before the taxi whirled away
Mrs. Chaffee relented enough to say,
''The affair was fastened little bit,
but 1t was all right, anyway"
Mrs. H. F. Chaffee is the wife of Mr..
Chaffee of gold bric& came in Min
neapolis two years ago.

smiled winsemeIy and nestled very
contentedly against her mother-in-law.
The bride was married in San Fran
cisco in such hurry that she forgot
to notify her relatives in Los Angeles
of her wedding, and wore the same
dress for the ceremony and on the
train that she had on when she left
the telephone office.
Mr.. Chaffee and his wife will not
have to worry over the problems of

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Evenlna Grain Letter.

Chlaago, July 12.-Wheat: Market
opened steady and broke sharply with
considerable stop loss selling under 80
for September. Prices rallied before
noon but the undertone was heavy all
day. The big movement Of winter
wheat and continued lack Of demand
are the depressing factors. There
were numerous reports from north
west regarding rust in Minnesota and
the Minneapolis market was stronger
than our own. There was report
of some export business working from
Baltimore but no quantity was men
toned. The strength in the coarse
grains undoubtedly contributed some
local help to wheat. The situation is
heavy and unless serious damage de-
velops in the northwest we do not be-
ieve that present prices can hold as
the load becoming cry heavy.

District Court Officials Return Hons
From Hillsboro After Very
Short Term.

The Trail county term of the dis
trict court was very short and the To-
cal officials of the court have return
ed home after having been at Hills
boro but two days. Judge Pollock
returned this morning and Reporter
Greene came down last night.
The trial Of McClain Cooper was
booked to come up for this term of
the court, but owing to the critical
condition Of his victim, who is lying
at the point of death, the case was
continued. A criminal assault case was
also on the calendar but 1t was held
over until the next term. But one
case demanded the attention Of the
court, it being a land commission case
involving a very small sum Of money.

Forms for Hotel cOncrets Work Torn

When the carpenters and others ar
rived on the site of the new hotel this

of vandals had been at work during
the night. A long stretch Of the
staging and forms for the front con-
crete walls of the basement had been
ruthlessly torn down and left in heaps
on the ground. The work Of the
scoundrels, while bad enough, was not
as bad as 1t might have been. Mr..
Hunt of the constructing company, or
the police do not believe that the trick
was done through malice, but rather
through a spirit Of wilful mischief and
stupid Iarking. 1t is the intention have

ment to the undesirable fellows who

people on the streets and there was
not the least sign of bad order.

Yesterday afternoon the county CONF
missioners of Clay county considered
the petition of ffty-seven properly
qualified voters of the town Of Dill
worth which asked that date be set
for the purpose of voting for or against
the incorporation of the town as a viii
lage. All the requirements of the law
having been complied with the COM
misioners granted the prayer Of the
commission and set Saturday, Aug. IL,
1911, as the date for the voting. Last
year, when the question was before the
people, less than ten were in favor of
the proposition, but the latter is better
understood now and the opinion now
prevails that at the next election the
negative vote last year will be re-
versed.

RroomhaIl's Report.

Liverpool, July 12.-The wheat mar
ket at the opening was quiet but
steady with prices unchanged to h

was some pressure due TO favorable
reports from India as some rain has
fallen and pressure of Indian offers
and values declined u to ". There
was some disposition to support the
distant months on a private cable re-
ceived from New York stating that
very not weather continues in the
spring wheat belt. Toward midday
there was further realizing with ten
dency toward profit taking on the
cheaper Russian and American offers
of winter and a generally quieter de-
mand. At 1870 p. m. market was easy,

Send BOY TO A home
Son Of Pauline StorIie Will Be Cared
for by Lutheran Home During
Confinement of Mother.

At the request of the head Of the
Lutheran home at Park Region, the
county commissioners have decided to
allow the home to care for the little
son of Pauline storlie until the mother
is out of confinement. The Sorlie
woman was placed in the state hospital
for the insane last week because she
was believed to be mentally deranged
The county will pay the home $50 a
year for the care of the little fellow
as long as he remains there. The COM
missioners feel that they are very for
tunate in having secured such a good
home for the lad. 1t is thought that
his mother will not have to stay in the
hospital very long, as her case is not
bad one.
