WILL NORTH S (
COLLEGE SUCCEED?
OF Course it Will, if Everybody Helps
and Nobody Shirks.- Still Neces-
sary to Raise $1,000.
ONLY FOUR WEEKS MORE
LEFT FOR WORK.

FRIENDS OF the college, are urged TO
Come to it's Rescue Now and
Make it's Future Secure.
Will North Star College succeed i'm
raising the $4,000 required to secure
the $4,000 donation from Hon. James
j. Hill? That is the question which
all true friends of the college are|
asking themselves these days? And
well may they ask that question now
with a great deal Of anxiety, in as
much as the time limit coupled with
Mr.. Hills offer, will expire March
1st. In the article published by the
board three weeks ago, it was stated
that $4,000 more was needed. Not
a great deal has been received since
that time.
A movement has been started to
secure the cooperation of the grad
yates of the institution in this great
work. A letter has been written to
each alumni asking for contribution
of ten dollars or more. AS there are
131 graduates, it is hoped that from
this source at least $1,000 may be
raised. The Board has also sent out
5000 circular letters asking for con-
tributions. The replies to these let
ters come in slowly, and are accom-
panied by small remittances general
1y, yet it is hoped that from this
source another $1,000 may be obtain
ed. That leaves $1,000 yet to be
raised, provided the money from
these various sources is all paid in.
The subscription work to date there
fore stands as follows:
Hon. James j. Hill SO, 900.
Subscriptions received by Rev.
Anderson, solicitor 49,. =. 1000.
Subscribed by Board Of Di
fecJOfS X l.E..s..... I,UUU.
Expected from Alumni 1000.
50ee csss ssl ssae fess
: ters (estimated) .......... 1000.
Total 9zo,OOU.
From the above it is seen that the
college is yet long way from the
coveted goal. $1,000 must be raised
within the next four weeks, or the
college will lose Mr.. Hills donation.
Will the friends of the school in this
city and thruout the Red River Val
ley allow this to be done? Will the
failure to raise $1,000, which is less
than the value of a quarter section of
land, be the death blow to the insti-
tuition?
Former President o. E. Abraham
son, now Of st. Paul, writes as fol-
lows:
4 trust that the good people of
Warren and the Red River Valley will
really put their shoulders to the bur-
den and give a hard push for just a
little while. I wish I could say the
words that would spur them on If
they could see themselves as others
see them, they would not hesitate a
moment. How would it be if the
people would levy amounts against
themselves in proportion to their
taxes. Those who have taxes a
hundred times more than others pay
hundred times as much to the col.
lege. One more supreme effort, anc
the first period in the early history
of North Star College comes to {
successful close. Keep on. The goa
is soon reached and then a might!
cheer for the members of the Boart
and all who have helped in the grea
\ work"
A township represents the entir
debt of the college 81 900 on eacl
section. Is sections of debt are pro
vided for. Who will remove the deb
from section 26? Who from sectio.
27? %? 80? 80? etc.
Where there is will there is
way. If every friend of the college
comes to it's assistance now, as gene1
ously as possible, then the fight j
won. But don't delay. See or writ
Rev. F. N. Anderson, the financis
secretary, Warren, Mimi, about you
contribution, and do it at once.
