ONLY FEW CHANGES IN
COURT HOUSE FAMILY

The beginning of the year
will see but very few changes
in the official family of Botti-
neau county.
With the exception of states
attorney and county judge, the
old officers were re- elected and,
according to the best informat-
ion obtainable by the Courant,
all the former deputies will be
retained in these Offices.
Peter Scott will continue on
the job as clerk in County
Judge Martins office.
States Attorney Weeks has
made no appointment of an
assistant and he stated to the
Courant that he would probab-
ly have none. Provisions will
perhaps be made for the ap-
pointment of a clerk later on.
The only change in the >coun-
ty board is in the Third Dis
trict, where O. r. Finstad soc-
ceeds Lewis Larson, who was
not a candidate for re- election.

Those who had hoped for a
scrap between the SO. called
Stalwart senators and those
elected by the Nonpartisan
League were doomed to disap-
pointment when this body pro-
ceeded to organize without any
apparent friction.
Whatever the future may
develop, so far no opposition to
tie league plans are apparent.
There is rumor to the effect
that enough strength can be
mustered in the upper house to
defeat the plans for a Constitut-
iOnal convention, but this is
merely conjecture and time will
tell.

THE FARC0'.HICH
!: &c;H00L BURNED
City SUITE. 5000 and School is Left
Homeless as a Result of Fire.

Fargo, Dec. 29.-The Fargo
high school building was al
most destroyed by fire and a
portion of the Central grade
school, which adjoins the high
school building on the south.
was partially damaged. It was
the worse fire that Fargo has
experienced since the burning
of the old Fargo opera house
and was more difficult to con-
troll than any that has occurred
since the old J. l. Case build
ing. which burned in 1908.
It is roughly estimated that
the loss amounts to $75, 900, of
which amount 80 per cent is
covered by insurance. The
worst loss is, however. in the
fact that, already crowded,
there is no available space in
the school buildings of the city
for the high school work and it
is probable that temporary
quarters will have to be arrang-
ed for in some other structure,
probably in the downtown
district.

STOREIBUILDING AT
|MOHALL IS DESTROYED

The Rudolph Walstad store
building and stock was Destroy
ed Wednesday morning by fire,
entailing a complete loss of
property. The fire alarm was
sounded shortly after four
O'Clock and the department re-
sponded Immediately, but the
flames had gained such head
way that efforts to save them
were useless and ashes soon re-
placed the structure that had
been one of the landmarks of
the city. The destroyed build
ing is one of the pioneer struc-
lures, built by John Windolph
when Mohall was in it's swad-
ding clothes, and later moved
to the location where early set
tiers, and those who followed,
have found trading place.
The fire originated supposedly
from a stove in the rear of the
building and before being dis
covered the interior of the
building was in flames and i'm
possible to save. The main
part of the store was the second
building erected in Mohall and
was built in 1902 by John Win
dolph, who but recently sold
out to Mr.. Walstad. The wind
being in a favorable direction,
other buildings stood in no
great danger and all the fire
men could do was contine the
flames to the doomed building.

Legislature on Tuesday.

Howard K. Wood of Deering
was today elected speaker of
the Fifteenth Assembly. There
was no opposition to Represent
ative Wood. On roll call he

and one absent.
A. E. Bowen of Fargo, prom
inent league organizer, was
elected chief clerk, w. d.
Austin of Bismarck and Ed. F.
Wood of Deering assistants.
Representative Wood is the
youngest speaker who has ever
presided over a Legislative as
sembly in North Dakota. He
is thirty years of age.
There is the usual scramble
for legislative jobs, but the
farmer legislature has cut down
the usual number of employees
by twenty five, thus making
fewer plums to pass around.
In the matter of committee
chairmanships Bottineau coun-
ty Jared we'll. Representative
Mahgnuson is chairman of the
corporation and municipal
committee and Representative
Hagan heads the committee on
elections and privileges.

afternoon at 2 o'clock, when
the two Legislative bodies met
in Joint session to hear the fare
we'll address of Governor Hanna
and the message of Governor
Frazier, who took the oath of
Office at this session. The in
augural ball and usual pomp
attending such an occasion was
dispensed with upon the ex-
pressed wish of Governor Fraz-
ier. who desires to have the
lawmaking bodies get right
down to business. ---.
Tomorrow it is expected thai
both branches of the Legislature
will get right down to the
routine grind. ?

TO INVESTIGATE THE
MANUFACTURE OF PULP

Local people are conducting
an investigation into the posi-
bility of manufacturing paper
pulp from the enormous quanti-
ty of poplar tim Der found in the
Turtle Mountains. Informa
ton from the United States De
lartment of Agriculture is
awaited in a few days and il
the project is deemed feasible
it ia likely that a company will
be organized for the purpose of
proceeding farther.
The present high price of
wood pulp, used in the manu-
facture of print paper and other
cheap grades of paper led, to
the idea that the enormous
quantities of timber in the
mountains could be converted
into some com mercial value by
the establishment of a pulp
grinding mill. Spruce wood is
usually employed for this pur-
pose, but there appears O be
no reason why poplar would
not make fully as good a quail
ty of pulp. At any rate, in
formation on this subject is ex
pected from Washington in a
few days.
Should the plan be feasible,
it would mean a great deal to
the Turtle Mountains, as the
vast forests, which are usually
considered of little value, on
account of their distance from
market, could be made an i'm
portant commercial product
