MINOT TO HAVE HOTEL
COSTING ABOUT $4,000

Minot, April 23.-While there has
been some conjecture as to the future
prospects of the proposed large mod
ern hotel, which is proposed to be
built in Minot, mention of which was
made some time ago, the men behind
the guns in the project have been
busy affecting permanent plans for
this great enterprise in this city. On
ly recently has deal for the purchase
of the lot, 46x100 feet at the corner
of Second street S. w., and Second
avenue S., been consumated whereby
the projectors acquire this valuable
property from Mrs. Rachel Ilvedson.
The estimated cost of the new struc-
ture is 100000 and it will contain 400
rooms with all the modern appoint
ments of metropolitan hotel.

AGENT HENDERSON
WARNS AGAINST SAW FLY

Prof. C. N. Ainslie, Government
Entomofogist of Sioux City, Iowa, has
spent the past few days in the vicin-
ity of Bottineau and Souris making
observations regarding the progress
of the Saw Fly, which did considerable
damage to the wheat crop in this and
nearby counties last season.
In one field west of Souris in one
square yard Of stubble, selected at
random, 269 Of the larvae was discov-
cred, this the whitish worm that was
noticed tunneling the straw last sea-
son and finally saving it off just above
the ground; the worm then en-
sconces itself below ground until June
when it develops into a Saw Fly,
which during July deposits it's eggs,
40 to SO for each female fly, in the
stem of the wheat, which in turn de-
velops into the worm that proceeds
down the wheat stem to near the
ground where is saws off the straw
and goes into winter quarters.
Prof. Normal Criddle, Field Of
ficer for the Department of Agricul-
ture of the Dominion of Canada, in
his bulletin on the Saw Fly, states
that in his observations extending ov-
er period of 10 years in that country
the best remedy is deep spring plow
ing C to 8 inches) turning the stub
BILE we'll over and packing the surface
to keep the fly at the time of devel-
opment from getting out.
This fly also infests the grasses
along the roadsides as Prof. Ainslie
has observed, and he has lately not
iced to parasite is present in the
grasses that prey on the larvae Of
the Saw Fly and which is natures
method of control, but he has as yet
failed to trace any of the parasite in
the wheat fields.
Farmers putting grain in fields
that were infested with this insect
last year will do we'll to plow these
fields especially carefully and at a
good depth, turning the furrow COM
pletely over and packing we'll before
seeding which as yet seems to be
most susceptible of attack of any of
the grains. If in doubt about the
presence of this insect in your fields
call on the County Agent, who will
be glad to inspect your fields and de-
termine if any Of the larvae are pres
ent in formidable quantities.
Prof. Ainslie goes to Cavalier coun-
ty from here Monday to carry on his
observations in that county.

YOUNG MAN BROWNS IN
RIVER NEAR TOWNER

William Malone, young man %
years of age, was drowned in the
Mouse river on the Lymburner farm
about nine miles north Of Towner at
three o'clock Saturday afternoon.
He and his step-father, Benz Peter
son, were crossing the river in a small
boat when the craft struck tree and
was overturned near the east bank.
Mr.. Peterson caught hold of branch
of the tree and was able to save him.
self. The young man was less fortu-
nate and went down in about twelve
feet of water about fifteen feet from
the shore. The river is high at this
season of the year and was almost
out of it's banks at the place where
the drowning occurred.
Help was at once summoned and an
attempt made to find the body. The
searchers were unsuccessful until
about 2:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon
when the body was located by JOS.
Miltenberger and brought to the sur
face by graphing hooks. The body
was found about seventy-five feet
from the place where the boat cap
sized, about twenty feet from the
shore.
The young man had been here less
than month, coming with his moth
er from Minneapolis.-Towner Tri-
bune.

HERE YOU ARE, MR.. SANDSTR0M!
T. ID. ACHESON WILLING TO
TAKE ON MR., SANDSTROM

I hereby accept Senator L. 2. Sand
strom's challenge to meet him person
ally in debate to be held in the city
of Bottineau, state Of North Dakota,
the time being some time in June, and
to be held at the Nonpatrisan League
picnic. I hereby claim the right to
say that no one shall consult either
Mr.. Sandstrom or myself during the
process of the debate. The platform
is to be clear Of every one except the
chairman and Mr.. Sandstrom anl my
self. If Mr.. Sandstrom really wants
to tell the people how he saved them
from themselves by helping defeat H.
B. 44, now is his opportunity.
Hoping that Mr.. Sandstrom will be
at his best on that occasion, am,
Respectfully yours

mended and from his record in the
past will be valuable addition to the
faculty. He will handle the CONNER
cial and agriculture work, also the
manual training. should the addition
be built. Hiss Underwood, who has
done such exceptional work in Eng
lish the past year, will remain. Miss
Woods has made success of her
Domestic Science department and will
continue in that department, also TAX
ing charge of a girls physical train
ing class. Miss Sellen has proved by
her first year of teaching that she has
chosen her work wisely and the Ian
guage students are congratulating
themselves on their good fortune in
having her with them another year.
Miss Bill has handled the mathematics
during the past year and all her stu
dents are pleased to learn she will re-
main. The department is doing
strong work. Miss Mcintosh, who is
teaching at Willow City, has been Sc
cured for the Chemistry work and she
will probably take class in History.
Miss Mcintosh majored in Chemistry
at the University Of N. Dak., and is
we'll qualified for the work. An ur-
gent request, accompanied by very
flattering raise in salary, was given
her to remain in her present position,
but she has decided to come to Bot
tineau. Mr.. Neulen, principal OF the
Carbury Schools, has been secured as
principal Of the Junior High school.
Mr.. Neulen is live wire and his en-
thusiasm along musical lines in Car
bury assure the music department OF
strong work the coming year. Miss
Buckly will continue in her present
position; comment on her work is un-
necessary, as it is looked upon as the
standard Of efficiency.

L. L. STAIR OFFERS TO
DEBATE SANDSTROM
Hon. J. P. Sandstrom:

Hon. J. P. Sandstrom:
I note that you have issued a chal-
lenge to have House Bill 44 debated
at the Nonpartisan Picnic to be held
in Bottineau in June, you proposing
to bring someone here to defend your
side of the question.
Now, Mr.. Sandstrom, it seems to
me that YOU are the one to defend
your vote on this bill and not someone
hired and brought here for that pur-
pose.
You and I both represented the vot-
ers of Bottineau county in the fif-
teenth legislative assembly. l voted
for and supported House Bill Al. l
am willing to defend my action before
the voters. You opposed and helped
kill House Bill "a. Are you willing
to defend your action?
One of US has misrepresented the
voters who elected us.
Being that you have seen fit to open
up the subject, am willing to give
you splendid opportunity of explain
ing to a large number of voters, with
out waiting until June to do so. On
Saturday, April %, at eight o'clock
in the evening a Nonpartisan League
meeting will be held in Newburg and
I shall be glad to meet you at that
time to discuss with you publicly
House Bill AZ.
AS time will not permit your ac-
ceptance through the press, your pres
ence at this meeting will suffice.
Sincerely,
L. L. Stair.

BETTER FARE BETTER AIR. BETTER CARE FOR B0INEAU COUNTY BABIES

and 1t is their judgment that while the
plant is being altered expense would
be saved if a plant with a capacity
sufficient for the addition be put in
at the present time.
The above reasons are the principal
ones that have moved the Board to con-
slider the matter Of building, yet many
other minor reasons might be urged,
for example, the placing of so many
desks in room the size Of the Senior
assembly is violation of the state
law. Glass room No. 4 is packed full,
hour after hour, making it impossible
to ventilate it enough to be sanitary.
The halls are so crowded that much
time is lost in the movement of clas-
ses. Using the Library for a class
room detracts from it's value as a
Library. And not the least among
the advantages of the building would
be an auditorium suitable for all
school gatherings, including COM
mencement exercises, also all gather
ings of community interest. Orator
ical contests, debates with neighboring
schools, civic and municipal gather
ings of various kinds could be assured
a place Of meeting.
The rural schools Of the district are
provided with excellent teachers, mod
ern buildings, good equipment, are be-
ing classified and are beginning to
receive State Aid, all Of which is des-
irable from every point Of view.
The city schools have wide and en-
viable reputation in this part of the
state and apparently the one thing
needed is room for expansion. This
granted the people Of Bottineau may
feel that they have an educational
system the peer Of any city in the
state. We, the patrons, register our
decision at a special election the date
of which will be announced next week.

HIGH SCHOOL
Is INADEQUATE
More Room Needed and Special Bond
Election is Called For May
Third.

The steady growth of the Bottineau
High School has at last made the
need Of more room imperative. At a
recent meeting Of the Board of Edu-
cation the matter was fully discussed
and the conditions were found more
serious than was at first supposed.
Since the exchange of work with the
Forestry has ceased it will be neces-
sary to teach Chemistry and Manual
Training at the High School. This
is imperative if the school is to hold
its classification as a 1st class High
School and there are no rooms avail
able for the work. A temporary ar
rangement is made for the Chemistry
in the Physics room but this is not
practical, as class in History, one
in Algebra and a Geography class use
the same room. All other rooms, in
cluding the Library, have their full
quota of classes. Altho the district
received $500 from the State Aid this
year no Manual Training was taught
as required by law and it is not ex-
pected to receive this aid another year
unless the subject is taught.
This year more students have enrol
led than there are seats for in both
Junior and Senior High School and
Central School will promote Is pupils
more this year than were promoted
last year. So with added number the
patrons may Judge for themselves
whether or not the need is impera-
tive.
The last report of the school treas
urer showed $13,S4O in the treasury.
There are outstanding bonds of $1O,-
900 to be paid in one year and $12,-
600 to be paid in eleven years. In the
opinion of the Board Of Education the
$4,000 bonds should be paid out of
the money in the treasury and new
bonds to the value Of $4,000 be is
sued, payable in twenty years. This
would not increase the indebtedness
but would extend the time Of pay
ment. 1t has been pointed out that
the State Aid Of $500 per year will
pay principal and interest in the
twenty years, or sum sufficient to
build an adequate addition.
The district has built two rural
school houses during the past two
years, models of their kind with mod
ern improvements, and the funds have
been provided out of the running ex-
penses and yet the district has gone
ahead financially over $4,000 each
year, after paying for these.
In considering the matter of build
ing the Board of Education has taken
into account the fact that the heating
plant is not in a condition to go thru
auother winter without alterations
