PUBLICATION
j.. IS GIVEN UP
Juniors of University Not to
Put out "Dacotah" This
Year, it is Decided.

The 1918 "Dacotah," the biennial
publication Of the junior class Of the
University Of North Dakota, will not
come out this year, as a result Of the
action of the juniors at a meeting held
at the university this afternoon. The
class voted unanimously to abandon
the publication Of the book. after Edi-
ton which confronted the manage
ment.
A series Of events leads up to the
action of the class taken today. In
the first place, the editor and business
manager who were elected last spring.
failed to return to school last fall, and
as q result the publication Of the book
had to be postponed until the coming
fall. Milton Swanson was elected
editor-in-chief and Fred p. Mann was
elected business manager, the two
men taking the work owe on q busi-
ness proposition. g.
In spite of the handicap Of the war,
Editor Swanson has worked diligently
with the publication and at the pres
ent time has the book complied. How.
ever, It has been decided hat It would
be business foolishness to 20 ahead
with the work IN account of present
conditions. In the first place the
board has not received the support Of

student body of the university. It 10
maintained. The board claims that
the advertising has been cut almost in
two. AS a result Of war conditions It
is believed the subscription list would
be cut almost one-thlrd. Moreover,
the board maintains that ~ q result
Of the administrative offlcials Of the
university refusing to guarantee to
take their 100 copies. q further de-
flcit Of $3.50 might result, II at tho
time Of publication, the university re-
fused to take the books.
It IL maintained that almost $500
would be; lost by turning gu the book
at the present time.
Another meeting of the Junior class
which time the question Of the senior
banquet, which had been previously
voted down by the class. will be con-
sidered.

]. Babcock of the University Of North
Dakota Engineering College. in an adj
dress given before all the engineer
ing students Of the university this

Industry is being put on a more
scientific basis than ever befores The
demand for men in your profession is
greater than the supply, at the pres
ent time, and that demand will be
even greater after the war then now.
1t is absolutely essential that you pre-
pare yourselves now for the work of
the future"
Dean Babcock urged all under
graduate engineers to return to the
university and continue their work
next fall il not drafted. and even If

the dean urged the students to hold
to their ideals and continue their
/ work along the game lines as before.
He emphaAized the fact that the de-
mand for engineers now is very great,
saying that calls for men in the pro-
fession at the university was much In
excess Of the available graduates.
All undergraduates who do not 60
into engineering work during the

the farm and do what they can to in.

DECISION IN CASE
OF HAROLD GRANT

The Public Utilities Commission
Wednesday rendered decision In the
matter of the accident on the premises
of the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad
Co. at East NIillinocket March 10, 1917,
resulting in the death of Harold w.
Grant.
The decision is as follows:
Harold w. Grant aged 20 years, Of
Winn. a brakeman in the employ of
the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad Co.,
fell from the tender of engine NO. TO-
while engaged in making UP train No
1874 in the Bangor & Aroostook yard at
East Millincket, at 4.30 p. NJ, March
10, 1917, and received injuries from
which he died at 6.10 p. NJ, March o.
1917, in hospital in Bangor.
Grant, who had been in this EN-
ployment about one month. jumped
from the rear of the tender to throw
switch over which the engine was tc
pass, and then stepped onto stop at
the side and rear of the tender. grasp
ed with his left hand a vertical roo
attached to the corner of the tender
and with the right hand signalled the
fireman to back up. The fireman told
the engineer that the switch was right
to back up, and started to work on the
fire.
Very soon as the backing movement
began. the engineer heard Grant cry
out. and stopped his engine about 81
feet to the rear of where he then found
Cant on the ground beside the track

cred about four inches from the shout

knee.
There was considerable snow il

high along and close by the track
Grant lost his hold on the vertica
rod, fell between this shoulder and the
track and the tender wheel run ovel
his arm. He probably also received in
ternal injuries which caused his death
Neither the stop or the iron gave
rav. and his fall appears to have beer
entirely accidental"
