EIGHTH GRADE
EXAMINATIONS
SUPERINTENDENT RusHFELpT
ANNOUNCES STATE EXAMINA-
TIoNs IN CLAY COUNTY, PRES
ENT WEEK TO BE SPENT
BOOSTING CONSOLIDATION.

This morning, accompanied by Z. NJ.
Philips, rural school commissioner
representing the state educational de-
partment, Miss Rushfeldt. county sup
erintendent of schools, started out on
a tour of several points in Clay coun-
ty to spend the week boosting the
work of the establishment of consoli-
dated schools. visiting points where
plans for the consolidating of districts
are we'll under way or where the mat
ter is under consideration in other
communities. Both of the officials are
enthusiasts in the consolidated school
idea and believe 1t is the only way Of
supplying the best educational meth
DDS to rural communities. They can
show too that it is economy in the
long run to adopt the consolidated
plan-and decidedly better service
of teaching in all grades.
Today Miss Rushfeldt and Mr. Phil
ips visited Kragnes where the initial
steps towards consolidation have been
taken and where a new school will be
built this year. Tomorrow they will
be at Comstock in the morning and at
Rustad in the afternoon and all day
Wednesday viii be devoted to Glyn-
don.
AS prominently announced, few
days ago, the superintendent anu CoIn-
missioner will be at Ulen on Thurs
day, where arrangements have been
completed for meetings of all interest
ed to take up the discussion of the
establishment of a consolidated school
at that point. Ulen has reached the
point where there must be something
done in the way of improved school
facilities, including high school work,
and there are people in communities
closely tributary to the town who
want to get into "the improved educa-
tional game. The outlook for school
improvements in Clay county, this
year. is very encouraging and con-
tractors are likely to be busy erecting
modern school buildings furnished with
the best and most approved facilities
and the Moorhead normal will be
drawn upon for the very best there is
there in the way of trained teachers.
Eighth Grade Examinations.
Over Clay county this week Eighth
grade state examinations in grammar,
history, arithmetic and geography,
will be held at thirty different points,
,One examination in each township.

HORSE THIEF
QUICKLY NABBED

Steele, N, D.. March 24.-Sheriff Fil>
bin was called over the telephone by
parties at Robinson and informed that
a team and buggy belonging to p. d.
White had been stolen. The sheriff got
busy Immediately and he and States
Atty. F. c. Eastwood phoned to neigh
boring towns. A team and buggy an
swering the description of the stolen
one were located at Pettibone which
had been sold a few hours before to
parties living there by a@man named
David Moon, who pretended to be a
stranded traveller who wished to dis
pose of his team and buggy and con-
tinue his journey by train.
The man had not left Pettibone when
the phoning was done, as he was still
waiting for a train, and he was held
until the sheriff reached there. Moon
was brought to Steele and a hearing
was held before Justice Bope, the pris-
oner waving examination
Moon admits having taken the team
and has asked to be given a hearing
at once that he may begin serving his
sentence as soon as possible. The team
and buggy together with two oyercoats
and robes which were in the rig were
worth about $500.

improvements at Pembina.

Pembina, N. D., March 24.-From
authentic sources we learn that the
Northern Pacific plans very extensive
improvements, necessitated by the vol
ume of business passing this point al
an early date this spring. r.. &c..
The yards here, which are already
quite extensive, and include, with the
wye, about a mile Of sidetrack, are to
be remodeled and two additional side
tracks added. The present roundhoust
will be enlarged to a six-stall building
and a large coal dock for coaling en-.
gines, which latter has been badly
needed as Drayton is the nearest point
for such convenience at present. Be.
sides this there will be double resi-.
dence erected for two section foreman
one to have charge of the yard and tht
other to look after the section from
Pembina to Macarthur.

ELLIOTT ANNOUNCES NEW TER.
MINALS FOR WHITE BEAR
AND CARLTON.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March "a
President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific railroad in one of
the most important announcements
for years, relative to the enormous
traffic between Minneapolis and st.
Paul and Duluth and Superior, today
outlined plan on which the prelim-
mary work will start at once, for the
creation of large terminal at Carl
ton, as a buffer for the head of the
lakes and another at White Bear to
take the pressure off Twin City.
Grain, coal and flour shippers of Min
neapOlis and Duluth are affected by
the new operating plan and the state
grain inspection department will prob
ably establish two new inspection sta
tiOns, one at either terminal, fifteen
miles each between Minneapolis and
Duluth which will also be equipped
with electric block signals.
I'VE are going to make the most i'm
pOrtant departure of years in handling
the twin city ports traffic" Elliott
said. The electric block system is a
measure of safety We will build a
large freight terminal and round
house at Carlton near the twinports.
1t will be the outlying making up and
breaking up point for freight and the
terminus of runs of freight crews, as
the White Bear yards and rOundhOuse
will be at the other end,
"Our passenger train service will
operate without change, direct into
the cities, except that with the install
lation of the electric block system the
element of safety will be effectively
increased.
THE most of the terminal improve
ments already planned, subject to
further expansion in the future, will
be approximately $1,00O,000. Details
of the car capacity of the yards and
locomotive capacity of the round
houses to be built, have not been fully
determined, but each terminal will be
large" Elliott said, and will provide
relief from the congested condition
of the city terminals in the past sea-
sons of heavy traffic"

Used a Neekyoke.

Park River, N. D., March 24.-James
Green. colored, who has been worfIing
in this vicinity for the past several
months, was brought to the city and
placed in the custody of Chief of Po-
lice Schlenk, on a charge of assault
and battery with intent to do bodily
harm. Green had been working on
the farm of James MeCauley, and de-
veloped some disinclination to take
his customary instructions from his
employer about the days work. In
fact, his distaste for labor grew to
such an extent that he resented sug-
gestions about his daily exercise by
picking uD neckyoke for weapon
and assaulting Mr.. McCauley. Green
waived examination and was taken to
the county Jail by Chief Scvhlenk. Al
though Mr.. McCauley was not severe.

in the encounter.

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago. March 24-Wheat-Open-
ing steady, the market ruled generally
tirmer throughout the session, with d
generally light and local trade due, in
part, to a continuation of poor wire
service with outside points. We can
see no reason for the continued ad-
vance in prices and believe that the
present upturn, which amounts to 3
cents per bushei, during the past week,
is more than sufficient when the con-
ditions surrounding the supply and
demand situation and the growing
crop are taken into consideration.
Corn-A further upturn in prices
was established today, with some buy
ing for southwestern account, in which
market prices were sharply higher.
Support was also furnished by the
leading long interest, with good
class of selling on the hard spots,
chiefly commission houses. We think
the advance Is over done.
Oats-The market ruled f1rmer early,
but the advance was lost toward the
close. AS in corn we believe the ur-
gent shorts have covered.
