Several of the Grand Forks city de-
partments will face deficits before the
| end of the present fiscal year, Judging
| by the condition of the appropriations
at the present time as shown in the
monthly report Of City Auditor Will

About thirty of the boys from the
reform school are busy filling sacks
with sand and gravel, preparatory to
building a temporary sand dixie at the
south end Of the Heart river dam at
Mandan. Several hundred sacks will
be needed to fill up the big hole wash
ed around the end of the dam, but it
Is believed that the temporary dixie
Will hold until the permanent repairs
can be made in the fall. The owners
OF boats are anxious to see the Work
completed as they are anxious to en-
JOY the river before it freezes up.

Valley City Courier: The Fargo
~Searchlight says that if woman suf-
frage is defeated this fall it will be
defeated by stalwartism. We are in
clined to think that The Searchlight
in it's intense antagonism to the stall
wart leaders of the state Is going a
little bit too far in that statement. We
do not believe hat the so-called stall
wart leaders Of this state are against
equal suffrage. The present governor
is for it, most of the state officials
are for 1t, and we know and nave
heard many of the prominent polite
ians Of the state express an opinion
on that subject and most of them are
in favor of 1t. If woman suffrage is
defeated this fall it will be because
a majority Of the voters are honestly
opposed to the measure, and for no
other reason-and we are not a stall
wart, either, so that our opinion is
not biased by any political leanings.
