TEACHERS ARE
STILL WANTED
IN FEW PLACES
Demand for High School Teach
ers Is Greater Than for
Grade Teachers

There still are openings for schoo
teachers in North Dakota.
Though the situation is far better
than in many years, due to increases
in salaries of teachers, there are 6
number of vacancies in Logan, Nc.
Intosh and Mercer counties, according
to reports to Miss Minnie J. Nelson
superintendent of public instruction
There is greater demand for teach
ers in the high schools than in the
grade schools. Many high school
teachers left the profession in the last
few years, and the supply is not yet
quite equal to the demand. The rural
schools generally are well supplied
with teachers, according to Miss Mel
son, and the situation really is better
than educators hoped for.
Miss Nelson has returned from at
tending teachers institutes in Self
ridge, Sioux county, and in Napoleon
Logan county. Both Institutes were
we'll conducted, the superintendent
said Only two counties in the state
have not held the usual fail teachers
institutes.

ing of a number of places. '
The arrests were carried out unde.
the direction of States Attorney O. B.

ceded the arrests. .
The 35 informations filed with the

Of i'll fame, running gambling joints

The officers visited several places
outside of Minot searching for
place where it was reported large

succeeded in finding it.
Late this afternoon the. persons ar
rested were to appear before the coun-
ty Judge. ''~'s q
The raid was carried out rather
quietly, but effectively The states
attorney, assisted by Assistant Attor-
ney General Albert L. Sheets Jr., F.

ties have been gathering evidence on
which to base arrests for three weeks.
The activities of the officers did
not include arrests Of booze runners.
Roads north Of the city are said to
be watched by federal officers clcEe-
ly, however.
Several weeks ago federal prohibi-
'tion officers staged spectacular raid
in Minot, but the raid was tipped off"
according to a charge made by Paul
Keller, prohibition enforcement officer
for the Northwest, and very little
booze was found by the raiders. After
this raid, which was held failure,
there was severe shake-up in the
federal prohibition forces working
along the Canadian border.

ELECTRIC RATE
CASE DISMISSED
IN COURT TODAY
Judge Holds Railroad Commits
sion Suspension Action
Was Irregular

Judge w. l.. Nuessle, in district
court, today dismissed the injunction
suit brought by f. E. Packard, assist
ant Encouragement, on request Of the
board of railroad commissioners, ask
ing that the company be restrained
from collecting an increased schedule
of electric lighting rates after the
railroad commission had suspended
the schedule.
The action of Judge Nuessle was on
the ground that the board of railroad
commissioners had not taken their act
ion in regular meeting, as required
by law, and that therefore it was null
and void. The time allowed the rail
road commission for suspension of an
increased schedule of rates filed by a
utility is said to have expired, so that
the increased schedule will be ef-
fective.
Frank Mihollan, a member of the
board of railroad commissioners, and
J. Fl. Calderhead, secretary, were the
only two witnesses placed on, the
stand Their answers furnished the
evidence on which Judge Nuessle
based his decision that the railroad
commissions action was irregular.
The Hughes company was granted
an increase in rates in August. 1t
later filed schedule of increased
rates, saying the railroad commission
had not given sufficient rates to per-
nit the return Of eight per cent. per-
mitted under the law. The commits
sion suspended the rates, and after
they were put into effect the restrain
ing order was obtained. The Hughes
company was prepared to plead that
the old rates would amount to con-
fiscatiOn of property.
