Moorhead Department

The appeal was dismissed and the
consolidation Of the districts con-
nrmed, the appellants further being
ordered to pay all costs.
The case in question was the Mel
SON consolidated school district, where
two districts were united; on an order
OF County Supt. T. A. Erickson, fol-
loWlng an election held in February.
Ihe action was taken under the Put
nam act. Three of the taxpayers ap-
peafed from the order, contending that
the consolidation of the two districts
would increase taxes and in other
ways work an injustice. -
Judge Parsons holds that the ques-
ton of the best interests Of the dis
tricts involves a consideration Of ter
ritory and persons affected as an en-
'tlrety rather than Of any. particular
portion or of any one or more persons;
that the ultimate question is what do
the best interests, present and future,
OF the people of the territory affected,
considered as a whole, require. An ap-
zeal may be taken to the supreme
court Of the state.

One of the more prominent exhibits
at the national dairy show at Chicago
this week is one from the dairy farm
of E. Schroeder which is located a
short distance from Moorhead. So eXA
cellent is the exhibit made by Mr..
Schroeder that it has attracted the
special attention of competing eXhibia
tors from all parts Of the country.
Hugo Bachenheimer, who returned
from Chicago today says he made two
or three visits to the show of dairy
cattle n he was surprised at the ex-
tent Of 1.-THE biggest thing Of the
kind he eve saw. Also he said that
he was proud to see the prominence
given Clay county and the Red River
valley through the medium of the ex-
hibit of a. fine herd of mich cows made
by &c Schroeder Of Moorhead township,
the biggest advertisement for this sec
ton of the Red River valley has had
for a long time. Breeders and dealers
were all talking of the Schroeder ex-
hibit and the Chicago papers made
special mention of the splendi herd
from Moorhead, Mimi. Mr.. Bachen-
heimer said it was generally conceded
that Mr.. Schroeder will bring home a
share of the blue ribbons.

OPTIMISTIC over
FARM CONDITIONS

Visiting freight agents, representing
the different railroad companies, who
have been in Moorhead n other cen
trail Red river valley points, have all
expressed themselves optimistically
over conditions generally in northern
Minnesota, especially the prosperity
among the farmers. J. H. Griffin, from
the office Of the general freight agent
Of the Great Northern, made a state
ment in substance as follows:
Il nave been in the Red river a
ley more than thirty-three years and
conditions were never before so prom
Using. Eighty per cent Of the lar I'M
der cultivation is ploWed and ready for
the seed next spring. A great deal of
it was plowed early. The general pros
perity iss reflected in the large number
of new farm buildings. Stock barns
and silos indicate the general attention
that Is being paid livestock.
Another important feature which has
a bearing on the future is the high
grade stock being purchased by the
farmers. The Great Northern-and I
suppose every other o running to
this section-has shipped more blooded
livestock to northwestern Minnesota
this summer and fall than in any five
years in the past. There is not a sta
ton on the northern division which has
not had shipments Of from a few head
to several carloads Of full-bloods or
high grade animals. Practically every
farmer who is not in the stock BUSH
ness is laying the foundation for a
herd of thoroughbreds. This means a
permanent prosperity, such as, grain
crops alone can never give. 1t means,
furthermore, that the best kind Of
farmers have decided to anchor on the
farm, instead Of planning to remain
but a few years or until a fortune had
been taken from the fertile fields, and
then seek a home elsewhere.
with good corn crops, fields Of al
falfa and clover, silos, big stock barns
and comfortable. modern farm homes,
we have evidences of a permanency
never before evident, and 1 believe
this is the beginning Of the greatest
era of prosperity which northern Min
has ever known"

SUSPECTED OF
+. JAIL BREAKING

Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. 31.-Chief
of Police Timboe believes that he has
picked up a boy who is one of four
wanted at Rockford, ILL.,, for Jail
breaking. The boy, who gives his
name as Jack Clayton, was taken up
for stealing a coat at a rooming house
and he at once attracted the chiefs
attention as comparing pretty well
with a 1~5-year-oId boy named Ed
ward Stank, described in the Rock
ford Jail delivery notice. The de-
scription reads, height five feet eight
inches, $50 to 155 pounds in weight,
complexion light, eyes blue and hair
brown. The delivery was on Sept. Is.
AS this boy had beaten his way to the
thorities looked for him to take that
direction again. There was nothing
said about, the crime for which the
boy was held at Rockford.
The prisoner says he is Is years Of
age and is from Monmouth, III. His
father died a year ago., leaving a wife
and four children, this boy the eldest,
two girls and a boy Younger. Three
weeks before he left Illinois he said
he was told that his mother had elop-
ed with some man about whom he
knew nothing. Up to the time of his
fathers death the. entire family work.
ed for farmers in the vicinity of Mon
mouth and this boy a never been to
school. When asked how long hG had
been here he stammered and made
two contrary statements, the first
that he had been here two months,
and the. second that he came in the
early part Of October, at which time
he was found in this city without
shelter and was offered a bed in the
city jail Which he accepted. 1t would
appear that the boy has some idea of
what is in the sheriff's description, as
when asked any question that might
lead one to connect him with it, he
'betrays a certain anxious determine
ton. He stoutly denies that he has
eve been in Rockford or even knows
where it is. He also denies ever hava
ing been to the coast and claims he
has never been in Jail before. Mr..
Timboe will continue the investiga-
ton to ascertain whether the boy is
the same as the one wanted at Rock
ford.
