which shows thai the wealth of the in
titutio amounts to $24,0 0 900. This
includes the original endowment for
general maintenance. the capital in

ments and special funds, but it does
not. include h value of campus lands,
buildings, equipment. etc, since they
come was more thar $1,4O0, 900 last

professors salaries. Nearly $425.OO

Stanford library is we'll endowed. Nc
less han $4,000 was spent last year
on new books The library has a fund
of $500, 900 secured from the sale of
Mrs. Stanford's jewels.
A comparison by the New York Sun
of the above figures with reports from,
other institutions for last year shows
that Stanford is second only to Har-
ward in the amount of productive
funds, although several universities

NORTH DAKOTA
F.. WILD FRUIT

Mandan, n. D.. Aug. 13.-AIthough
quite extensive in size, the = KilIdeer
forest in the KilIdeer mountains, forty
seven miles north Of Dickinson. does
not contain a very great variety of
trees and shrubs, with the exception
on wild fruit bushes or which there
is a widely varied growth all through
the forest,
Supt, w. A. Peterson and Horti-
culturlst Max Pfaender returned Tues
day evening from this region, bringing
a considerable quantity of seed and a
small lot of plant material, which they
will supplement with a larger ~collec-
ton to be gathered later in the fall.
They wene to Dickinson Sunday and
made the trip to Oakdale and the
mountains early the following morn
ing, remaining in the mountains from
~m1d-mofning until late Monday ev-
ening. They thoroughly enjoyed he
outing and report the scenery the
finest they nave yet see in his state.
Much Wild Fruit.
The tree growth is chiefly oaks,
cottonwood and birch, none of which
attain very great size, though they
are very dense. There are the tree
~NtA w 49, phoAt a III kllS lOftttSI VI
which Mr.. Pfaender believes to be the
old Indian canoe-birch.
Wild fruits grow in %profusion, in
quantities and variety exceeding the
tree growth. Besides the usual. June
berries, chokecherries, bullberries and
plums. there are great quantities of
raspberries, currants and gooseberries,
and great patches of hazelnuts.
One, of the raFest of the many
pretty flowers found is the wild honey
suckle, which grows in pr~ofusion.
Will Gather Specimens.
Many different trees, plants and
shrubs were found which can with
profit be brought to the government
experiment station here, though the,
time Is not exactly right for making
any changes. Later in the fall, per-
haps in six weeks, Mr.. Peterson and
Mrs. Pfaender will spend several days
in the mountains gathering seeds and
cuttings.
Work Progressing Nicely.
Brick work on the seed house at
the government station is completed
and the roof is now being placed.
Interior carpenter work will be COM
menced on the assistant superintend-
ent's residence within a few days, and
the interior work on the office building
Is being completed this week. The

cupied ome time next week.

May ASK ALL
TO RESIGN

Beach. N. D, Aug. 1S.-The retaIia-
tlon for the arrest of Alderman Jep-
son by representatives of the mayor
10 whom he is bitterly opposed, Jep-
son a caused the arrest of the mayor
and TWO of his special police on a
charge Of making arrests without war
rant. The right of the special police
appointed by the mayor, and not CON
nrmed by the council. will be tested
IN the courts. There Is a deadlock be-
tween the mayor and the council and
little municipal business has been ac-
complished since Brinton was elected.
1t seems to have settled itself into an
endurance contest to Sc which will
give away first.
A movement is on foot to demand
the designations Of the mayor and the
members OIL the council tnen to hold
a special election and lame and enzire
new set of officials. This is thought
to be about the only solution outside
OF gcing into the courts and removing
the entire list of officials on the grounl
they have failed TO perform the duties
for which they were elected.

TALENTED PINANIST IN
ATTIRE OF HARVESTER

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 13-CIad in
a 'hickory" shirt, apron overalls,
rough shoes, and without coar, Gus
tave Guyger gave a splendid piano re-
cital Tuesday evening at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Hamilton, South
Second venue Professor Guyger is
fresh from the harvest fields, having
worked forty-six days to late In the
grain ti%lds Of Kansas, Nebraska, and
South Dakota. ~.
Wagner, Liszt. Mendelssohn and
selections from other composers not so
well known tinkled from the tips of
his fingers as he gave a recital for
two hours. In intervals Sylvester
Greiner, his companion in the wander
lust of harvesting, played selections
upon the zither-and when a string
broke accidentally he kept on playing
as if nothing had occurred.
Professor Guyger has been playing
a piano ever since he was II years old.
He was born ten miles from Berne,
Switzerland. and eighteen months ago
he came to big, great, free America.
During most of the year he is engaged
to give concerts by the Steinway Pi-
ano Co.. but during this summer
ton he thought to build UP his muscle
and his constitution by wrestling with
the sheaVes in the expansive grain
fields. His hair is just a little too cur-
ly to be like Paderewski's but it RI
walls it in abundance and length. His
technique n lingering is splendid
and though the callous spots have APP
peared upon the palms, the fingers
have not lost their s~uppleness, and
difficult passages were taken with the
skill and smoothness of an ar
fist.
The residence of Mr.. Hamilton was
crowded with friends and many stood
upon h lawn to a late hour to listen
to and enjoy the music. Two other
musicians are also out in the harvest
fields picking up some money, plenty
good health and new blood and
building themselves up for the taxing
winter season. .s.Ea1

TO EXTEND WALK
F. TO AUDITORIUM
CITY COMMISSIONERS TALK ov.
Err PERMITTING CONSTRUCTION
OF ELEVATED WALK FROM OLD
BANK BUILDING souTH-oTH,
Err MATTERS.

The city commissioners TODAY con-
sldered the petition of the Armorv-
auditorium board for the extension of
the elevated sidewalk south on the
west side of the street at the foot of
broadway. Just what will be done in
the matter is not known at the present
time but 1t Is probable that the grade
OF the walk will be established and the
construction not interfered with.
At n place where the walk now
ends in front of the Emery & Johnson
sporting goods store in the rear of the
old Commercial bank building. 1t is far
above the street level and the inten-
ton of the auditorium committee lis ia
continue the elevated walk south so
that it will be level with the entrance
TO the auditorium. The alley would
out of the alley freely.
The armory will occupy the entire
ground floor of the building and. as
the auditorium proper begins with the
second floor, an arrangement OF this
sort would give easy and direct en-
trance to this part of the building
which would be greatly appreciated by
the public. ~
The question that is bothering tba
commissioners is whether Ii has a
right under the ordinances to grant
permission to build a walk over thr
alley in this matter, ever though If
does not interfere with the traffic. An.
other side of the question Is that N
the city engineer establishes the grade
as Is desired by the petitioners the
construction would have to be in thar
manner. There is no doubt but that
the petitioners will be allowed to build
2 the manner they ask but whether
they Will be given permission TO dc SO
is another question.
The commissioners met at the
regular time this morning and in addi-
ton to the above matter took up sew
eral other questions, mostly of q rou-
tine matter.
"A petition of the board of education
for the yacating of the alley in the
block where the new north side school
building lis to be erected, was read but
the matter vas left in the hands OF
the city attorney as the only occupa-
ton of the alley in question IS by
telephone poles and 1t Is believed that
the city cam arrange the matter with
the telephone company in q matter
suitable to all parties concerned.
The board of education also petit
toned the commissioners for sewer
and water extensions on either Sec
ond or Third streets north from Ninth
TO Eleventh avenues. This Is to pro-
vide water and sewer service for the
new north side building.
"A messenger service license was
granted to Charles r. Wilson and the
street commission was given authority
to construct curling around the
filtration plant south of town. The
matter Of a defective side walk laid
in 1912 on the south side Of Fourth
avenue between Twelfth and sThir-
teenth streets was taken up and the
defective strip will be replaced.
The matter of the city purchasing
a lungnnotor Was left to the investiga-
ton of Commissioners Jordan. who will
confer with the city health Officer and
other physicians ais to the need and
reliability of the instrument.

ton of liquor on Indian lands? This is
an Important point which will be set
