cries occasionally and has had all
the habits and characteristics of a
baby three times her weight. Since
the hour of her birth. Audry, as she

IDAHO WANTS LAND
State Will Send Delegates to Washing
ton to Secure School Sections

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 31.-The leg
islature today came to the relief of
the state in preservation and pro-
lection of school indemnity, Sec
tions 16 and SO, claimed by both
federal government and state by
passing a joint resolution author
izing the committee com posed of
Attorney General McDougal, a
member of both house and senate,
to go to Washington and confer
Immediately with the secretary of
the interior in order that title to
sections 16 and SO can be secured
for the state and held in future
years as its birthright.
The legislature demonstrated be-
yond a doubt that Idaho proposes
to fight the preservation of it's
Dirthright to a finish and to force,
if possible, the government to re-
lease its grip on the school sections
now locked within the boundary
lines of the national forests, which
are as yet unsurveyed,
The committee will be appoin ted
tonight and will leave Immediately
for Washington to place Idaho's
claims directly in the hands Of
Secretary Ballinger.
Backing up its claim, the senate
passed the Kerns bill empowering
the state board of land commits
sioners to select lieu lands to sec.
tons 16 and SO now appropriated
and claiming states rights to al,
these sections.
Armed with this law as passed
the special committee expects tc
secure action from the secretary.
First test along "wet" and dry
lines was made in the senate this
morning over the passage out O
the committee of the whole bill
seeking to strengthen the loca
option law. The "dries" were vic.
torious, for they secured the neces.
sary two-thi-ds vote.

WOULD REVISE
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Would Have A Board Of Regents That
Would Control Entire
System
LAW MAKERS EVOLVE new PLANS
The Bill is Taken From the State Of
New York

Boise, Idaho, Jan. % complete
revolution of the entire school sys-
tenn of Idaho is the object of bill
introduced by Warwick, Feather
stone and Hammer. 1t provides
for an amendment to the state con-
stitption to place the entire school
system of the state under the con-
troll of a board of regents. One of
these regents will be chosen from
each judicial district in the state.
The entire board will be appointed
by the governor with the advice
and consent of the judge or judges
of the several judicial districts.
These regents will serve for a term
of six years, one-third of the num-
Der to be appointed every two
years. The regents will have it in
their power to employ a commits
sioner, the best school man to be
secured, and this commissioner
will have in hand the general sup
ervision of the educational system
of the state, embracing the~entire
field of educational supervision
and administration. The commits
sioner will be under the control oil
the regents at all times.
Under the measure to be pre-.
sented the first meeting of the
board of regents will be held II
Boise on the second Tuesday after
the first Monday in February
1918. One-third of the first boarc
will be appointed for two years
one-third for four years and one
third for six years.
The men having this measure il
hand, especially MIR. Warwick
have given the subject mucl
thought Tie plan agreed upon i
a copy of the plan that has proved
such a success in New York. Th,
main object is to bring abou
harmony and unity of purpose il
all the educational institutions O
the state. The commissioners an,
the regents will have supervisor
not only over the state institu
tions, but the high schools an
rural schools.
The strongest claim made fo
t the new system is that it woul
put an end to lobbying for specis
state institutions: it would TAX
the entire educational system on
of politics as far as that is possible
and it would compel every institr
} ton to confne itself to the line
7 work for which it was establishes
9 The sponsors for the measure al
a nounce that they have been give
d assurances of support from a
sides.

MUSICAL PROGRAM RENDERED
The Little Children Took Part and They
Did Fine.

A meeting of the teachers of this
section of Bonner county was held
in the high school room last Satur-
day. Supt. Riorian of the city
schools presided. Miss Moore of
the fifth grade read paper on the
teaching of English in the inter-
mediate grades. The paper was
well prepared and demonstrated
her ability to teach the subject in
hand as well as the power to make
valuable suggestions as to its
teaching. Miss Middough of the
high school faculty made strong
plea for Latin, showing it to be es-
sential to good culture and even
more practical value than is the
German to the up-building of a
good English education. Mrs.
Norton gave class demonstration
in "Devices for Quick Reading"-
number well rendered and thor
oughly enjoyed.
Supt. H. F. Irion gave talk on
the unfounded prejudices too often
entertained by people against their
own school. Mr.. Irion made q
plea that patrons visit the school
before rendering adverse judgments
founded on hearsay and fragment
cry reports. Mrs. Irion, Supt. o.
Bonner comfy, talked briefly, Civ
ing suggestions on purchasing Of
books and information relative tc
the 9Th grade and teacher examin
atoms, Supt. Riordan spoke brief
ly on the "Three Great Affirma

HOW ABOUT YOUR MONEY!
State Tax Commission viii Appoint
Special Assessor to Re-Assess
WiIlmar for Money and
~ Credits. ~

The State Tax Commission believes
that the amounts Of money and cred
it's assessed in Kandiyohi county is
far below what it should be. They
recently sent word to the county aud
itor Of their determination Of re-as-
|sessing certain districts in this coun-
ty, including Township Of Edwards,
New London and Willmar. The coun-
ty board Of equalization made re-
commentator to the effect that the
amount Of moneys assessed was so
much more than. the year before that
it might be well to let we'll enough
alone. County Auditor Feig was
called to the cities last Monday. He
returned today and reports that the
Tax Commission persists in its pur-
pose Of re-assessing the money and
credits in the City Of Willmar. The
following table shows the amount Of
money and credits as returned from
all the districts Of the county by the

Look Out for Bad Checks.

Two forged checks for small am
cunts were ca sh ed by unsus-
pecting merchants at Willmar last
Saturday night. In both cases the
names Of young farmers Of the VIC
Unity were signed to the, checks, but
the bankers detected the forgery and
refused payment on them, when brot
in for deposit Monday. A number of
crooks seem to be operating thru
this part Of the state and it is well
for everyone to be very careful in
dealing with strangers.

Wheat Buyer Of Daluth Eevater
Arrested for Grand Larceny
II The First Deqree.

G. O. Johnson, for some time back
wheat buyer for the Duluth Elevator
Company (Peayy) was arrested last
Thursday night by Sheriff Bonde on
the charge Of grand larceny in the
first degree. The complaint was
made by Robert Bosworth, superin-
tendent Of the Duluth Elevator Com
pany, and charged that said johnson
had obtained 81 ,384.20 Of the com
pany's funds by falsifying his. ac-
counts. He had been discharged from
his position about week before his
arrest, and Mr.. Clawson, an ac-
countant for the surety company. had
examined his accounts. It is alleged
that he found a discrepancy in. the
accounts Of about $5,100, but the
above amount was placed in the COM
plant as being readily proven. john
sons modus operandi was to issue
wheat tickets to fictitious names, en-
dorse such names on the back Of the
tickets, and draw on the company for
the money. One Of the last tickets
issued it is said, was for 900 bushels
of wheat that he did not get and an
other for 500 bushels Of fax. These
tickets he is said to have admitted to
the accountant were bogus. I.
He was arraigned before Judge
Muller Of the municipal court Fri
day morning, waived examination,
and was bound over. to await the ac-
tion Of the grand jury in October.
His bail was fixed at $4,000, but up
to this writing he has failed to secure
bondsmen, and is confined in the
county jail.
The accused man came here from
Cooperstown, S. D., some time ago
and has a wife and two children. His
parents live in Otter Tail county, and
he has no family connections here.
He seems to have been flying rather
high for wheat buyer since coming
here, was Zone Of the boys" and was
a reckless driver Of an automobile. .

here seen quite the same formation
Of balloon shaped clouds that were
suspended in the heavens for some
time The cloud was charged with
electrical energy and lightning play
ed most vividly. No damage was
done in this county however, so far
as we have learned at this writing,
but farther to the west, about twen-
ty-five miles west of Willmar, the
force Of the storm cloud was spent.
The following is dispatch which ap-
peared in this mornings Pioneer
Press: :-.. 50.
Appleton, Minn., Aug. 15.-A tor
nado which started near Benson at
$50 this evening swept southwest,
caused the death Of two persons, raz-
ed many farm homes and barns and
created general havoc throughout
this section.
At Holloway it is reported an ele-
vator and several houses were blown
down and the Great Northern depot
was wrecked.
-Four miles from Holloway the farm
residence Of Herman TRACER was de-
molished, Mrs. Trager was instantly
killed and her 4-year-old daughter
received injuries which caused he1
death three hours later. TRACER, il
is said, was at Hallowav when the
storm broke. Mrs. TRACER had just
finished supper. Doctors were called
from Appleton by neighbors, but
found the mother dead in the wreck
age of the home and the daughter
unconscious and dying.
Telephone and telegraph wires are
all down and it is almost impossible
to learn the extent of the storm OF
the number Of fatalities. A freight
conductor who went over the Great
Northern line south from Benson to-
night stated that twenty had been
killed in the vicinity of Holloway, but
so far no reports Of other fatalities
have been received.
John Parker, a farmer residing 3
miles from Holloway, was driving

On the D. W. Little farm, five miles
east Of Appleton the barn was blown
into kindling wood and scattered
about the prairie, while the family es.
