EFFORT TO GET SPRING
WHEAT DISTRICT FORMED

The officers Of the Fargo CONNER
cial club are taking up the PROPOSE
ton of the Spring wheat" district as
the proper one for the federal land
loan bank in the northwest. and will
urge the cities of Minnesota. North
Dakota, South Dakota and Montana
to boost for putting these four districts
into one district.
1t is believed that this is the log
ical division and it is also believed
that If the cities of the territory urge
the manner of districting, it can be Sc
cured from the farm Iand loan bank
board which held a meeting here on
Sept. 1,
The object Is to get the various
cities in the 0territory to boosting for
this division independent OF the ques-
ton of what city shall get the bank
as it is believed that the interests OF
these states are more nearly alike
than any others in the northwest.

of the city commission were served
yesterday with an order to show cause
why they should not be restrained

the contention that the improvement is
confiscation of property and that the
cost exceeds the benefits.
