State Appeals
WillistOn Case
to Supreme Court

Appeal to the supreme court was
taken by the state today in the case
involving the right of the legislature
to donate the Willston agricultu raj
experiment station to Williams
county for use as a poor farm.
The state is appealing from q deci-
sion Of the Williams county district
court in which it was held that the
act Of the last legislature in giving
the property to Williams county was
valid.
In his brief Attorney General
George Shafer raises two constitu-
tional questions. He contends that
the act violates the federal consti-
tuion which guarantees the sanctity
of contracts and the state constitu-
tion, which requires that property
donated to the state for school pur-
poses be used for that purpose and
for no other. In the lower court it
was held that the Williston property
was not donated for school purposes
and therefore was not protected by
the trust provision in the constitution
The property was donated to the
state by citizens Of Williston nearly
20 years ago as an inducement to the
state to establish an agricultural ex-
pertinent station there. In view of
this fact Shafer contends that it was
a gift and the state has no right to
either give it away or use it for other
purposes. The act giving the property
to Williams county for use as poor
farm, he contends, violates the con-
tract rights of the persons who dona-
ted the land nearly 20 years ago.

MRS. BROWNING
WILL RENTER
HIGH SCHOOL.
Makes Arrangements For
Transfer to Haldane School
at Cold Spring

New York, April l7.-R -Prcpara-
tions for re-entering high school are
being made by Mrs. Frances Hcenan
Browning between her honeymoon
shopping tours on Fifth Avenue to
buy gowns and other fineries which
are being lavished upon her by her
cinderella man" who is wealthy
real estate broker.
Former girl schoolmates in the tex
tile high school stared in wonder and
clustered about the-school girl bride
in awesome groups, admiring her
yesterday in Browning's azure au-
tomobile and arranged for her trans
fer to the Haldane high school at
Cold Spring, N. Y, near the 10-room
honeymoon house leased by Brown
ing. The attention Of the boy stu
dents centered on the expensive au-
tomobile and the liveried footman
outside the school building. To both
boys and girls, it was the Cinderella
legend come true.
After transfer of the school papers
had been arranged, the 15-year-old
bride, accompanied by her mother
and friend, drove to some Of the
larger department stores on Fifth
Avenue. Curious women and girls
followed her as she looked at frocks
While Mrs. Browning was dining at
the Hotel Commodore at noon Mr..
Browning was having a ham sand
wich, piece Of pie and cup of cof-
fee at the counsel table in the muni-
cipal court, where he was interested
in case brought by one Of his realty
companies. He did not GO out to
lunch because Of the crowds outside
the court room.

AT DICKINSON

Part of Force 10 BE Trans
ferred-ReSt Will Have
TO Seek New Jobs

Dickinson. n. d., April l7.--Closing
Of the Northern Pacific car shops in
Dickinson on May I, has been ordered
by the operating department of the
company. About 35 men will be af-
fectcd by the order which will lay off
not only the car building crew but
the inspectors and the stationary fire
men at the roundhouse where the
boiler rooms will be closed down.
Officials who were here, says the
Dickinson Press, stated that the
change was being made in the inter
csts Of economy and in keeping with
the plan Of the company to lengthen
it's division which makes drastic
changes along the entire system ne
cessary.
To Transfer Ten Men
OF the car force which will be dis
continued here, the Press continues.
five men will be transferred to Man
dan and five to Glendive under the
order. It is possible that q few more
may be taken care Of at other points,
The remainder will be forced to seek
new jobs.
The carshops, erected in 1920 and
claimed to be the finest and best
equipped on the system, will be
boarded up and the machinery left
here intact for the time. Officials
were emphatic in their declaration
however, that the company had nc
intention Of reopening them at fu.
ture date.
The boiler rooms which, since the
closing Of the roundhouse, have been
used to furnish air and steam to the
carshops and the few stalls left open
for local freight and switch engines
will be closed. Stoves will be placed
in the roundhouse to'heat these stalls
when necessary.

Electors Must Be
Very Definite in
Naming School Site

When electors choose site for q
school building they must do so in
unmistakable terms. Attorney General
George Shafer has held in an opinion
to A., NJ. Waller, superintendent Of
Minot schools.
In the case in question the site for
a proposed school house was designa-
ted as the southwest quarter Of
section 27." Under the law as laid
down by the supreme court, Shafer
held, the school board could not ac-
curatcly determine the site chosen
by the people, since it might mean
any one Of eighty different plots Of
two acres each in the same section.
The law, as quoted in the opinion, is
that "the voters shall select the site
in away that the hoard can determine
what place has been chosen"

New York, April H. LP)-Maine
northern Vermont and northern New

snow blanket left by blizzard that
established a new record for the ten
acity of winter in the section.
The storm came as the climax of
several days of near zero weather,
and oldest inhabitants are searching
their memories for precedent To
match the exchange Of roles between
January and mid-April. In some
places in Vermont drifts arc piled
five feet deep.
News Of two deaths for which the
storm was indirectly responsible
came from the Canadian border of
Maine. At lockwood Station two
men boiling maple sap were crushed
when the snow laden roof Of a sugar
house collapsed.
n the Adirondacks three inches Of
snow piled in drifts.
One lone sign of spring came with
the storm reports. While Auburn, N.
Y, was shivering with the unseason-
able cold, the ice in Owasco Lake
staged it's annual mysterious disap-
pearance. Thursday evening the
lake was frozen over solid. Friday
morning there was no trace Of the
ice. Indian legend tells of huge un-
derground channel through which
the ice leaves suddenly at the begin
ming Of spring.

UNDER CONTROL
Rangers Still Fighting Flames
in Montana and Idaho
Forests, However

Chicago, April 17.-(P)-The first
crop of spring forest and prairie fires
in three widely separated areas Of
the country generally was under con-
troll today, although. continuing high
winds in some districts carried
threats of tanning the flames anew.
Fires which swept large forest
areas near Plymouth, Mass, have
been checked, and most of the prairie
and grass fires in Minnesota and the
Dakotas have been extinguished, but
rangers were still fighting flames in
the national forest in western Mon
tana and Idaho.
Three lives were lost in Minnesota
and North Dakota, with the loss in
that territory estimated between half
million and one million dollars.
Eleven farm buildings were burned in
Massachusetts.
Reports that the Massachusetts,
fires were Of incendiary origin were
under investigation. Hundreds of
forestry men and firemen had been
engaged in q tw0-day battle on a
front which extended from Little
South Pond in the direction Of Buz-
Yards Bay and Warehame before the
fires were checked.
Although many fires still were
smouldering in the central northwest,
it was believed that they offered no
further menace. Considerable live
stock, poultry, farm machinery and
vast tracts of timber were destroy
ed in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Several rural school houses also were
burned.
Twenty-Five men are fighting
flames on a 15-acre tract in the Yaak

tional rangers have been despatched
from Missoula, Mont, to>the Kootenai
forest, where fires are reported
spreading A logging camp near Port
