ject which is before the club for the
making of direct road to Sabin and
Baker.
After few remarks by the presi-
dent an informal discussion was pre-
cipitated of the different phases of
the matter of new high school build
ing, public enterprise which must
be taken hold of within very few
years. At present the opinions on the
subject are extremely varied and there
is much to be done to bring all parties
to see from one view point--at present
every ward in the city demands the
honor of supplying the site for the new
educational pile. the Third warders
believing that they form the hub of
the city. To focus the matter, Presi-

After a cursory examination DR.. Cyr
expressed the belief that death was

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Dec. 27.--Wheat: The
market opened strong. with offerings
light, the buying being chiefly by local
shorts. A further advance from the
opening price took place later in the
session ON continued strength in the
Buenos Ayres market coupled with the
strength in Minneapolis, which market
showed greater advance than our
own. The continued strength In Ar
gentine wheats and unsettled weather
in that country are chiefly responsible
for today's advance, the market hay
ing been short one over night. Do
nestle conditions do not warrant any
particular upturn in prices. and large
amount of short wheat having been
covered today, favorable news from
south America would likely give us q
lower market again.

MILTON CROP WORTH A
HALF MILLION DOL LARS.

There has been PA carloads Of
grain shipped out of Milton SO far
this fall by the elevators. This is
record of which we may be just
~ proud and one which we chal-
ienge any town of this size in
North Dakota, or for that matter
in the United States, to surpass.
Prominent grain men figure that
only about two-thirds Of the crop
has been marketed. and taking
this for granted the crop returns
in the vicinity of Milton has ex-
ceeded $4,000 bushels. when one
takes into consideration the thirty
railroad markets to which grain Is
hauled IN this country 1t is a won
derful showing indeed. As a large
percentage Of the crop consists OF
max II will bring the cash returns
to Milton farmers very close to
the half million dollar mark.

the main passage for distribution. This
is one of the most modern and com
plete devices of the whole scheme OF
the building and will doubtless be
copied In all of the new buildings that
are erected throughout the state in
the future.
The Gymnasium.
The gymnasium is one Of the largest
to be found in the state. 1t is 100 by
AZ feet and on all sides the floor will
be surrounded by bleechers consisting
of three tiers of seats. On either side
Of the gym will be lockers for the pu-
pills, one for the boys and one for the
girls. Each of these lockers will be
amply equipped with showers, tubs
and clothes closets, and the shower
baths are made adjustable for the con-
venience of ALL
Two other rooms on the basement
floor will be used for the manual
training and the domestic science de-
partment of the school. Both are
light and commodious.
Under the main entrance Of the
building will be two good sized rooms
which will open out of the gymnasium
and which will be used as apparatus
store rooms. At the head Of each
stairway at all entrances will be plac-
ed drinking fountains Iron gates will
be found at the foot Of the basement
stairs which lead into the gym.
The halls of the two main floors
of the building are fourteen feet in
width which will amply accommodate
easy passage and crowds of almost any
size. They are especially light so
that with their final coat of plaster
ing they will be found to be exceed
ingly light and attractive.
The principals office will be found
on the main floor just opposite the
main entrance. This office will com
an office proper. A retiring room will
be at one side and locker for wraps.
This office also opens into a teachers
rest room which is large and will offer
a home-like appearance to the teach
ers during the noon hour during the
winter months.
Six recitations rooms will be found
on each floor and one of the leading
features will be the primary room
which is additionally large and has its
own sanitary convenience. Big sani-
tary toilet rooms are provided with
two entrances each and four sets OF
doors so that all odors will have nc
possible chance to permeate the rest
of the building.
On the second floor will be found
teachers rest room also and a good
sized library which is built over the
main hall below. In every respect this
| win be the finest public school build
| ing in North Dakota which combines
school and gymnasium. Grand Forks
| and Wahpeton both have splendidly
! equipped gymnasiums but they are in
separate buildings, and the new Fargo
structure viii be the only one in the
state where the two are combined.
| Superintendent Hoover, the mem
bers Of the board of education and
Mr.. Crabbe. the architect, have re.
ceived many compliments for the man
ner in which the building has beer
designed and built.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 27.--
Prince Cupid whose full name is
Jonah Kullio Kalanialaole, delegate
to congress from Hawaii, has
brought a new dance to the ma
tons capital.
1t Is called the Mumbo Jumbo, or
Americanized Hula Hula, and ex-
perts declare that it puts the Tur-
key Trot, the Grizzly Bear, the
Walla Walla Wiggle, the Apache
and the SaIome dances so far in
the shade that they can't be seen
with an X-ray.
The dance was not considered
naughty said the prince, IT'LL

ranted to prevent ss1perfiuous

MUNICIPAL FREEDOM FROM LITI.
CATION.

CATION.
Brevity of city attorney reports for
municipalities may mean scarcity OF
litigation or the breyity may be used
as a shield to cover mass of unwelcome
Information. City Attorney Carleton of
Montpelier has just turned in one of
those very brief reports, and the short.
ness of the statement is due to the COM
parative freedom OF that municipality
from litigation, there being but four
cases which the official considered worthy
of specific reference.
That is a good record But it is sur
passed by the recent report of Barre's
city attorney, the report being presented
by the retiring official, j. Ward Carver.
On account Of the lack OF cases to
write about, the official had to stretch
out his expressions of appreciation for
hearty cooperation in order to make a
page in the annual city report. From
the report we learn that there is but q
single case in which the city is litigant.
That is the suit which was brought by
Joseph Long & Co., an action in general
assumpsit, in which the plaintiff COM
pany seeks to recover for alleged extra
work and materials furnished during the
construction of the storage reservoir at
Orange. That case is Of relatively little
Importance, compared with the legal
tangles which the municipality has gone
through during its sixteen years history.
And not only is the same a small one,
but, barring possible litigation with the
electric railroad company regarding ex-
tension of its line, it is the only matter

With the opening Of its fifth fire de-
partment station and the purchase of
new automobile fire truck, Burling-
ton may be called fully awake to the
demands for property protection. The
fire department OF Vermont's leading
city has been developed rapidly during
the past few years, and the wisdom of
the policy has been demonstrated time
and time again. There are some extra
hazardous risks in Burlington, particu-
larly in the lumber district on the lake
front, and the situation is such that
prompt and efficient service from the fire
department is required. Realization Of
that requirement is at the bottom of the
present policy, doubtless.
