Bodies For Dissection.
Dean H. E. French of the University
of North Dakota appeared before the
Grand Forks county commissioners
and requested that the bodies Of paup-
ers be turned over to the university for
dissection.
Dean French pointed to the state
law providing that such a course may
be pursued by county boards. The
board decided to concede to his re-
quest. This will furnish corpses of
murdered persons, suicides, accident
victims and dead people leaving no
money or friends, for the scientific
use of the students at the university.
Board Orders Improvements.
Members of the railroad commission
have completed several important mat
ters, which have been pending for
some time. Among the most impor-
tant transactions that were handled
by the commissioners was the clearing
up of the controversy between the

les. This was cleared up at hearing
held at Ryder. Another hearing took
place at Parshall, and at this town the
commissioners ordered a siding in
stalled and loading platform at War
