The house movers now have the old
Norwegian college on rollers and to-

bad.
When it is on it's permanent place

present new appearance.

FRESH PAINT HAS BEEN USED TO
GOOD ADVANTAGE BY AUTO
DECORATORS.

Many Of the autoes used last year
can be seen upon the streets this spring
with new coat Of paint on and the
addition adds to the outward appear
ance.
It is customary for the maiden trip
of an auto in the spring for blowout
or two, a day or SO spent adjusting the
feed Of the gasoline and the inserting
of new spark plug, but with the
thorough overhauling the cars have re-
ceived during the winter there seems
very little of this experience to date.

RAILROAD COMMITTEE OF THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB BEGINS
TO SEE LIGHT.

The railroad committee of the Com
1nercial club held a session last even
ing, the matter Of rates being the I'M
portant feature of the gathering. The
possibility Of securing better rates ov-
er the Great Northern were never
brighter and although the committee
has been on the job for some time
they are now nearer the goal than ev.
er before. Competition and the coming
of the 500 railroad will have great
effect on the rates which without ques-
tion will be lowered in a very short
time.

TITANIC !. | | DISASTER J. | /

Special to The World:
New York, N. Y, April 1.-THE me-
cessity to relay msssages distance Of
$50 miles by wireless has made it inn
possible to secure and further informa-
tion from the Inflated Titanic until the
arrival Of the Carpathian, carrying its
grief-stricken survivors.
Many, and in fact nearly all on the
Carpathia have lost some one Of the
party which started from Liverpool, as
result of the disaster The officials Of
the White Star company have given
out all information obtainable but can
not begin to satisfy the eager crowds
in quest of some news from their rela.
tives. Thousands are waiting the lat.
est word.
A list of survivors as given out to-
day is reported is correct with the ex-
ception perhaps of the spelling of
names, but only 81 names Of those sur
viving has been received, the balance
of the 551 passengers on board the Car
pathia not being known, thus no GER
tain statement can be given out as to
who went down with the ill-fated ship
and who were saved.
Chaffee Lost.
No contradiction to the report that
Mrs. 81. F. Chaffee of Armenia, was saw
ed and that Mr.. Chaffee was lost has
been received, and according to all dis
patches, the wealthy North Dakota
man lost his life in the disaster. He is
the only North Dakota passenger be.
lieved to have been a victim.
No Others Alive.
All hope of any members of the pas
sengers or crew except those on hoard
the Carpathia being alive has been alb
andoned, although the life boats have
been accounted for and their passen.
gers saved, earlier reports having even
these lost as result of the free storm
which was raging.
Wait Arrival.
The arrival Of the Carpathia ,s anx-
iously awaited and then authentic in
formation can be obtainable, but little
in the line of satisfactory reports are
procurable as a result Of the necessity
of relaying messages several times.
