The state canvassing board was up
held in declaring adoption at the re-

amendments initiated by the Nonpar-
tisan league; compulsory vaccination,
except in times of smallpox epidemics,
was given it's quietus and the state
tax commission was denied arbitrary
powers to enter the premises of pub

handed down by the North Dakota
Supreme court. In referring to the
initiated constitutional amendments,
the state constitution uses the phrase
majority of all the legal votes cast.
Only two Of the seven amendments

The plates are seven by seventeen

A record in spring wheat seeding
has been made by George Hayes, a
farmer on the old Standing Rock In
dian reservation, near Mott. He has
already seeded forty acres to wheat,
and is blowing more acreage. This is
the story taken to Minneapolis by j.
l.. Killion, former Fargo man, now
connected with Minneapolis grain
firm. He has just returned from a
trip over the western part of the state,
and says almost summer weather has
prevailed in the southwestern section
for two weeks and that farmers are
taking advantage Of the fine condition
of the land to do blowing. 1t is the
earliest date such work has been done
since that country was first settled.
Due to lack of enthusiasm shown
by baseball fans in Grand Forks and
also in Fargo, it is apparent that these
two cities are doomed to spend the
baseball season in witnessing back
lot teams play the national game, I'M
less some arrangements are made to
form a new league. The Northern
seems to be a dead issue and there
is no prospect of reviving it. The
only prospect for professional team
for Grand Forks is offered by M.
Stanchfeld, who has advanced a plan
for state league of eight teams,
Glass D players, and 10O-game
schedule but unless Sunday games are
allowed this scheme does not seem
promising. In the plan he outlined
at meeting Of baseball followers he
suggested the proposed league could
be composed of Crookston, Devils
Lake, Grand Forks, Minot, Fargo,
Valley City, jamestown and Bis
marck. This would constitute a COM
pact circuit.
