There will be an interesting fight in
the legislative assembly for the loca.
ton OF the proposed new asylum for
the insane that has been recommend
ed because Of the overcrowded condi-
tion of the jamestown asylum.
Already four cities are in the field
for the honor. and within the next few
days 1t Is anticipated that the field Of
entries will be materially increased.
Fessenden, Rugby. Leeds and New
Rockford are present bidders for tho
asylum. and to this list probably will
be added Lakota. Devils Lake, Town
er. Granville. A1inot. Williston, ana
several other places. The fact that
the jamestown asylum is in the south
ern part Of the state, on the main
east and west line Of the Northern
Pacific. strengthens the position Of the
cities along the Great Northern, east
and west line. about 100 miles to this
north. and II any new asylum is To-
Gated. 1t probably will be established
there
In connection with the proposition
to establish the new asylum there is
also the proposition Of establishing a
new normal school in the southwest

school at Mayville. Several years ago
