GERMAN INSTITUTION
ASKS RECOGNITION

Sullivan and Sullivan, Mandan attOr-

sic an order to show cause why he did
not approve of the course OF the Ger
man Evangelical parochial school at
Expansion, thus permitting parents to
send their children there without
breaking the compulsory educational
laws.
This is the elimination of a school
row that has been going on in Mercer
county for some time. The German
Evangelical synod has parochial

Superintendent Of Schools Thomas re.
fuses to approve its. curriculum and
parents sending their children to this
school have been arrested under the
compulsory act. "'-r'
Several Of those arrested are to be
tried at Stanton this week.
When Mr.. Thomas refused to ap.
prove the course of study, State Super
intendent Taylor was appealed to. He
upheld Mr. Thomas. Yesterday Sulli-
van and Sullivan applied to the court
for writ of certiorari, but the court
refused to take original jurisdiction
and suggested that the lower court be
applied to for relief.

EARl|NG STATES PLANS
Feeder Will Garry Company Into
Rich Agricultural Region in
Slope
TOWN RECENTLY DEFEATED
FOR COUNTY SEAT BOOSTED
Thriving Inland Community Ex-
pected to Boom as Result of
Extension

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 2l.-H. E. Ear
ling. vice president of the Milwaukee
line, on his return here yesterday
from the east. officially announced the
completion of plans for building q
feeder extension in North Dakota
next year from New England to Ami
don, to cost $75O,000.
This extension will put the Milwau
kee into a rich new grain tonnage
territory already developed.
Earling spent several days in tour
ing the farming sections Of North
Dakota and Montana. He says farm
ers in these districts, due to the high
prices Of wheat, are enjoying the
greatest prosperity of their history
High wheat prices the past two years
have resulted in the fall plOwing OF
Il greater acreage than since the be-
ginning of the war.
Dickinson bids fair to become a
big railroad center of western North
Dakota, as a result of the initiative
of the farmers and business men in
promoting three independent projects
preliminary surveys for which have
already been completed, or are now
under way. r>
The three lines are: ..s
Dickinson to New England to Mott
Dickinson to Bierman.
Dickinson to point 40 miles north
west.
The Equity Engineering company
of Fargo is the contracting company
for the handling of each of the three
surveys.
Dickinson is in the heart of biz
district that is not adequately sup
piled by railroads, and the business
men there determined to take the in
itiative in putting the city on the
map.
Since the people have shown SO
much interest in the proposition, it
has been reported that the Northern
Pacific had become interested in a
plan for an extension south from
Dickinson. Another plan credits the
N. P. with being interested in an
extension OF the Mandan-Mott line
to Marmarth, newly selected county
! seat of Slope county.
Still another southwestern railroad
project is the proposed extension OF
the Milwaukee line from New Eng
land to Amidon.
In northwestern North Dakota, the
Wildrose line will be opened for oper
alton this week.
The Wildrose extension runs from
Wildrose to GrenOra, and rails have
been laid the entire distance.
All along the extension, there has
been intense activity in building pro
jects, with the result that the line
opens up with real business prospects
right off the jump.
Big celebrations are planned in the
several towns.
