Devils Lake, n. D., April 5.-As a
result of a resolution adopted by the
board Of county commissioners, at the
request of c. O.. Russell, chairman Of
the commercial. club good roads COM
mittee, $3.50 will be turned over to
Charles Stotlar, the treasurer OF the
good roads organization, the o
being apportioned from the automobile

the county. The plan is to add the
county contribution . to an equal
amount appropriated by the CONNER
cial club which money will be used
for the purchase of a traction engine
and drags to go over the roads of he
entire county if possible and put them
in the best of shape. The money Will
also defray the working expenses Of
the men who will be lept constantly
az work lettering the road conditions
in Ramsey county.
The venture Is indeed a good me.
The engine which was used just be-
fore the automobile tour passed
through this city last yea did a heap
Of good in a short time and dragging
the roads in this manner continually
will soon put this county in first ran
of the good roads counties Of the state,
setting an example for other counties
to pattern after in the matter Of car
ing for roads.

Grand Forks, N. D., April 5.-Judge
c. F. Templeton has refused to is
sue an injunction in the case involving
the right of the city council to ex-
tend the corporate limits of the NUM-
cipality.
That ruling is accompanied with the
announcement that immediate steps
will be taken towards trying the case
in question on it's merits, and Thurs
day morning, April IL, is the time that
has been fixed for the introduction OF
evidence.
The plaintiffs in the case, who are a
township, a school district and the
Red River Valley Brick Co., contend
that the city council is without author
ity to extend the city limits, claim
ing that such authority canno be
delegated to city council by the leg
islature.
In their application for an injunc-
ton, they claimed that they would be
damaged if such restraining order was
not issued.
Judge Templeton held that no dam
age would accru to them. The result
is that the city officials can proceed
with the assessment of the property in
the district in question.

In which the business me of the city
responded to the call for a $4,000 guar

Capt Walter Fursteneau was en-
gagged to take charge of the grounds.
He will move out at once and irnrned-
lately start work with a few men to
get Chautauaua in shape. Being very
much interested in water sport, he
will construct a break water which
will furnish protection for boats. 1t

by the association that many people
will order boats built, making Devils
