new EDIFICE
FOR OAK GROVE
NEW $4,000 poRMIToRY AND
RECITATION HALL TO BE
ERECTED AT LUTHERAN SEMI.
NARY THIS YEAR-DELEGATEs
OF BOARD CONVENE.

Oak Grove seminary will have a
new $4,000 dormitory and recitation
nall this year Work on the new edi-
fice will be commenced this spring.
This was decided at a meeting of the
| corporation board yesterday
The meeting was largely attended,
about thirty delegates being present,
one new member being added to the
corporation. The reading of the report
showed that the financial condition Of
the institution was good and the board.
composed of representation from the
whole northwest felt that the same
conditions prevailed throughout this
section of the country, making the
time a propitious one for the con-
mencement of such an undertaking as
the erection of new building.
The new dormitory will also include
large number of class rooms which
will make 1t one of the most complete
buildings of it's kind in any educational
institution in North Dakota. 1t is the
intention Of the members of the board
t. make that portion of the building
to be used as recitation hall COM
plete in all its details and appoint
ments.
One of the principal features of the
meeting was the raising Of 5000 to pay
the debt on the tract of land immedi-
ately opposite the grounds Of the SEM
mary which was purchased two years
ago. This, in view of the announce
ment Of the new building, fully demon
strates the splendid condition of the
corporations finances at this time. A
financial agent will be appointed to
visit all the congregations of the Luz
theran Free church to solicit funds for
the new project.
Bright hopes are entertained for the
future OF the institution, which all feel
will be of even greater benefit to the
homes and schools of the entire north
west The Oak Grove Lutheran Ladies
seminary has long been one Of the
strongest institutions of it's kind in the
country and a monument to the city
of Fargo and the addition of a new
structure of the size and proportion as
now proposed and undertaken by the
corporation and board of trustees will
add materially to it's strength and in
fuence in the city, state and territory
from which 1t draws it's attendance.

kane county superior court on behalf
Of herself and eight minor children
against Jimmy" Durkin, a saloon
keeper, and the B. Schade Brewing
Co., both of Spokane, who, it is al
legged, are responsible for the death
Of her husband. The complaint de-
clares the defendants sold and supplied
intoxicating liquors to William Elmslie
with the knowledge it was to be drunk
under circumstances sufficient to lead
them to believe such beer and whisky
would result in intoxication." Elmslie,
a workingman, fell from the third
story of a local beef packing plant I'M
der construction on Nov. 4, 1910, and
sustained a broken back and other in
juries which resulted in his death
soon afterward. Durkin, who is

a Baptist preacher to decorate the
front windows of his saloon with wax
figures and text matter showing the
evils Of the liquor traffic.

Liverpool, March 1O.-Wheat: The

yesterday and values were u to %

ments were larger than expected and
the estimate for worlds shipments this
week other than American a million

weather and crop news continues fav-
orable and reports from Russian are
bearish regarding crop outlook and
prospective early shipment. During
the morning there was some covering
by shorts and prices advanced Il for
both May and July, while March was
unchanged Support was due to an
improved demand from the continent
for cargoes and parcels and a fair
spot trade. Receipts for three days
were light and this caused some out

market was steady and "a higher than

Glenburn People Have Exciting Elk.
Perienoe in the Middle of
the Night.

Glenburn Advance: Jode Beam had
a rather exciting experience at his
home Tuesday evening. About IL
O'Clock, after the members of the
family had retired, his mother hearing
a noise in his room called to her son
and asked him if he was up Jode was
in bed and had been sleeping and OF
course answered no. His mother then
said she heard someone go upstairs
and a search was made. Jode's father
came with lamp and as the light
penetrated Jode's room Jode saw
man crouch behind his bed. He made
quick grab for the fellow and seized
him and held him fast until his father
came. The fellow was unarmed and
appeared foolish, but when Mr. Beam
said he was going to run him in he
frightened up and pleaded to be per-
mitted to go his way. Earl Beam came
up town and made a search for Mar
shall WEIGH but he could not be found,
and, after keeping the fellow couple

Grain Letter.

Chicago, Ill, March 10.--Wheat--
The market opened steady to a shade
firmer, and has ruled strong and
higher throughout the session. The
basis Of the strength being various re-
ports from the winter wheat country
of damage by Hessian fly, the market,
being short one, easily responded to
any bullish news of this character.
Minneapolis was strong. There was no
improvement in local cash demand.
Today's action was simply illustrative
of the fact that we are at period Of
the year when a nervous market is in
order. The fact that prices are SO
much below those of a year ago and
the high point of this present crop, is
constantly in the mind of traders and
induced buying on any kind of news
which is Of a bullish character. We
think the advance Of today all that the
market is entitled to. at the moment,
judged from a standpoint of the news
and the technical speculative position.

DRAWS LARGE AMOUNT
Clearing House of Fargo Draws on the
County Treasury for
$4,000.

One of the largest amounts ever
drawn on the county of Cass was made
today by the Fargo clearing house. The
county treasurer was asked for $75.-
600, which he turned over to the clear
ing house.
The reason for the clearing house
having such a large amount in checks
is assigned to the fact that the differ
ent township officers received their
checks from the county this week, and
turned them into the bank for cash. In
this way they reached the clearing
house.

Grain Opinions,

Finley Barrell: The wheat market
is technically in weak position, but
we advise caution against selling on
declines. We believe sales should be
made only on hard spots and upturns.
We still maintain that the future ac-
ton OF corn will depend upon country
movement and if farmers see At to dis
pose of holdings freely, prices will
work lower.
Walter Fitch & Co: The absence of
a milling demand or export demand de-
prives the wheat market of any bene-
fit it might derive from the present
light movement and while conditions
for growing crop continue so favorable
we prefer the selling side on the rail-
Hes.

ROOSEVELT DAM
MONSTER AFFAIR

Chicago. March 10.-The United

of supplying moisture to arid lands
has given the world five of its largest
dams. 1t was quite appropriate that
one of the largest or these, a part of

struction possible.
Colonel Roosevelt, in connection
with his visit to Phoenix, March IS

named In his honor In this connec-
ton 1T Is interesting to note that the

ley Water Users association.
This immense dam, requiring over
four years work and costing in the
neighborhood of $3,50O,00O, is $50 feet
high, length of base 235 feet and top
1,080 feet. The dam is higher than
the F'latiron building In New York
and would hide the capitol at Wash
ington to the dome. Two four-in-
hands could pass on the top. Most OF
the wall rests on stones big enough
for a team and wagon to stand on
and weighing sixteen tons each.
The lake formed by the dam ex-
tends back In the valley twenty miles
and holds enough water to flood 1000
square miles q foot deep. The re-
claimed land will make $4,000 farms
each large enough to support at least
five people, making homes for fully
125,000 Americans Each acre. it il
estimated, will yield yearly crops
valued at $50 to s125.
