Dean e. ]. Babcock Of the state
university has just returned to the
city from Hebron. N. D.. where he has
been experimenting the rebuilding of
the experimental station. The old
building was burned down some time
ago and new appropriation was
made to rebuild. There are two small
buildings being erected at the present

boiler room and gas plant, while
the larger will be used for the expert
mental work. The latter will be about
S0x50 feet.
The new addition is a wing Of the
future station which is planned. The
boiler and gas plant building Is a
semi-fire proof affair and is mostly
steel constructed. The other struc-
ture Is built entirely of brick and is
fireproof.
No experiment work has been done
this summer on account OF the fact
that there were no available quarters
to do it in. Dean Babcock states that
the work will he resumed late this
fall. New machinery is now being in
stalled and the buildings are being
finished also.
Dean Babcook has spent most of

OIL: INSPECTION. !. . !.
GASE...|S ARGUED
80. y 81
r.
State Files Demurrer to Jur-
isdiction of Court this
Morning.

The first round of the attack insti-
tuted by the Bartles Northern Oil
company on the validity of the state
oil inspection law, was fought today
before Judge G. NJ. Cooley of the dis
trict court.
A demurrer denying the jurisdiction
of the district court OF equity in the
case was filed by Attorney General
Andrew Miller representing the state,
who also moved for the dismissal of
the temporary restraining order issued
by the court when the action was first
instituted several weeks ago.
This order enjoined the state from
interfering with shipments of, oil des-
tined for the company. which refused
to pay the inspection fee provided by
law.
The motion to dismiss this order
was objected to by F. B. Feethan1, at
torney for the oil company, and was
argued before Judge. Cooley. No de-
cision in the matter will be handed
down bytthe Judge today
The contention Of the oil company
is that the inspection fee charged by
the state is exorbitant, and consti-
tutes a tax on Interstate commerce,
and that the law requiring the pay
ment is therefore constitutional.
