FoRasAM MAN FATALLY HUNT

Forman, N. d., April 8.-Gus-
taf Gronlund, one of Forman's
highly respected citizens, met
with peculiar but fatal accident.
Shortly before noon Mr.. Gron-
lund and son Iver drove out to
the country to secure a load of
straw and it was while starting
away from the stack that the
wagon passed over an obstacle of
some kind which threw the elder
Mr.. Grofilund off the load and
onto the soft stack. He was,
however, injured internally and
never regained consciousness,
passing away two hours later.
Mr.. Gronlund was born in 1860
and came to this country in 1901.
He is survived by a wife and five
children, three boys and two girls.

WHITE WAY
is DISCUSSED
At q Special Meeting Of the Com
mercial Club Held on Last
Thursday Night.

The White Way was the subject
discussed at a special meeting of
the Commercial club last Thurs
day night. The great majority
Of opinions expressed were fav-
Orable to the proposition.
The White Way, as discussed
was to extend from the river to
Seventh street, with four lamp
posts on each side of the street
in each block. Each post was to
carry one $50 watt 200 candle
power lamp, all of which were to
burn from early candle light until
f0:30, when all but two to a block
would be shut off and those two
would burn until morning.
The arc lights now in use are
about 1000 candle power and con-
sumo 300 watts. The White Way
would give US with all the lights
burning 1900 candle power per
block at a consumption of 1000
watts. The cost for the addition
al current used has been quoted
at $4,000 per month or 1924
per year.
In looking over the appropria-
tions for this year we find that
out of total levy of S2453O a
sum of $4,000 or about.one-sixth
was for street lighting. BY adding
1924 to our lighting expense it
would make an annual ligth bill
of IS, 1874 ormore than one-fourth
of our total municipal income to
pay for our street lightign.

TELLS NEED OF
SKILLED LABOR
President T. Z. Smith Of state
Science School makes spssoh
at Fargo Last Week.

Fred E. Smith, presiden tot the
State School of Science, last
night spoke before the meeting Of
the Builders 4 Traders exchange
on the subject Of schooled Me-
chanics, and advanced ideas to-
ward putting the various institu-
itions on that basis.
Mr.. Smith discussed in q gem
seral way the history Of education
which we have at present and
showed that the graduates Of the
various schools are those, in q
large extent, who are Of the aca-
demic courses, even those who
are trained in the science courses
are trained by men of theoreti-
cal ideas.
l "Under the present condi-
tions," said Mr.. Smith, business
men demand that schools supply
the men they need and there is
great need for skilled labor.
Realization of the need to supply
this. demand is shown by the fact
that the schools have established
in their curriculum manual train
ing and domestic science.
This action is step in the
right direction but as yet we have
been unable to get away from the
strong tendency toward the cul-
tural, side of school training. The
trades people of the present day
are made up Of a certain class,
and all contractors and builders
have experienced difficulty in find
ing men who are trained to do.
