School Districts Increasing.
State Superintendent Stockwell was
a guest at the Dacotah a few nights
since and commenting on the growth
of schools in North Dakota, said:
"It is indicative of the growth of
the state of North Dakota that the
school districts have Increased since
June 30, 1904, the date of my last
biennial report, front 1,432 to approx
imately 3,500 at the present time. It
is a marvelous record of growth and
development, but it is only a fair in
dex of the growth of the state in
other directions. North Dakota is the
mecca at the present for the armies
of land seekers and it is being settled
«s if by magic."

THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FOtlft, N. tot
EIST SIDE NEKS
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.
East Grand Forks Will Put 1n System"
of Water Works.
The people of East Grand Forks are
congratulating themselves that at last
the long-desired system of water
works will be Installed during the
coming summer. The bonds have
been voted, and all now depends upon
the new city council. But as they are
unanimously in favor of the propos
ed improvement it Is expected that
work will begin as soon as spring
opens. The city has long been without
adequate Are protection and building
has been delayed in order that mod
ern conveniences might be secured.
As soon as work begins upon the new
system of water works, work will be
started upon several new blocks and
a large number of handsome and sub
stantial residences will be construct
ed. Building activities will be but
the compliment of a general forward
movement of business. Business men
are looking forward to a good year.
The bonds, in the sum of $25,000,
will be floated by the new city coun
cil and a complete and modernly.
equipped system of water works will
be .installed. The proposed site of
the power plant and pump station
will be on the river bank near the
plant of the Grand Forks Lumber
company. It is proposed to move the
present electric light plant to this
site and combine the two under com
petent management. The latter is a
municipal enterprise which has been
a credit to the progressive enterprise
of the citizens of East Grand Forks.
The bonds were sold some time
since to Hays & Son of Chicago, but
through machinations of parties de
siring a franchise, the sale was an
nuled. There has been some trouble
in reselling them, owing to a dis
agreement of the old council, but it
is understood that the new council
will have satisfactory offers from pri
vate bonding companies and will float
them at once. The new council meets
the first Tuesday in the new year and
no more trouble is anticipated.
The plant will consist of a water
tower, settling basin and a mechani
cal filter. The mains will run from
the pumping station to the saw mill
and East Grand Forks brewery, the
site being lots owned by the city be
tween those plants to the intersection
of Selby and Dover streets, down Dov
er to Fourth, down Fourth to De
Mers avenue and down DeMers ave
nue to the bridge. However, the new
council may alter the course of the
mains.
JOHXSOX ALL RIGHT.
The Governor Highly Compliments
Polk County.
In an interview at St. Paul after his
return from his California trip—with
both shoes on—Governor Johnson
among other things said:
"Any good county in our state like
Blue Earth, Polk and other counties
produces more agricultural products
of greater variety and of better quality
than the whole state of Nevada. The
famous Santa Clara valley is no more
beautiful nor prosperous than many
communities in our state. Nowhere in
the West do you see the homes, the
happiness and the prosperity that we
see in our state. I saw some magnifi
cent residences, but they were the
homes of the millionaires. The com
mon people are not so prosperous as
they are here. Cheap labor, Chinese
and others, have cut down wages,
while their expenses are away up.
Eggs are 35 cents a dozen, butter 50
cents a pound and other things in pro
portion. There is a living for every
man in Minnesota, but there is only
an existence for many in California.

The outgoing council will assemble
about eight o'clock and transack all
of the unfinished business and ad
journ permanently. The new coun
cil will then convene and gu through
the formalities attendant -upon the
first meeting. Considerable interest
attaches to tins meeting arising
from the fact that Alderman Jarvis
whose seat i: being contested in die
courts will be regularly seated pend
ing a settlement of his cas.
Mrs. Stecncrson Improves.
A special dispatch from Washington
says: "Mrs. Halvor Steenerson, wife
of the Minnesota representative, is
improvoing in health rapidly. Mrs.
Steenerson has been confined to a hos
pital for the past few weeks as a re
sult of an operation. She will return
to her apartments some time this
week. The illness of Mrs. Steenerson
will prevent Mr. Steenerson from vis
iting Minnesota during the recess."
New Brick Block.
A project is on foot to erect a sub
stantial brick block on the East Side
on lots owned by Judge Tim Sullivan,
opposite the^ity hall. While the plans
have not yet been matured, it is un
derstood that the building will be two
or three stories high, of good dimen
sions and modern in every particular.
Brick and stone will probably be the
material used.
A Bow in Pnrnell.
Sheriff Gonyea has arrested John
Frank, of Parnell township, charged
with assault by F. M. Thrapp, ot Par

Frank, it seems, held Thrapp up and

Rather Embarrassing.
Prof. A. H. Glaeon, principal of the
Crary public schools, was an attend
ant at the North Dakota Educational
association last week. He is one of
the thorough educators of the state'
and his school work would be a credit
to towns raucl) larger than Crary.
Mr. Gleaaon is noted for his modesty
and is afc cpurtljr as a southern gen
tleman. To a Times man he told an
amusing experience of his trip to the»
recent meeting of the association. The
coach was crowded with holiday trav
elers and the only vacant seat was
one fronting a lady on whose lap waa
a rosy cheeked and takatlve girl of
about Ave years. At the joext station
after Gleaaon had gotten aboard, a
lady came, aboard the train and be
gallantly offered her his seat As he
stood in the aialeythe little girl aUp*
from her mothers lap and in a tone
which could be heard the entire length
of the coach, and with a Cherterfleld
en bow, said: "Oh. Mr. Gleason, you

he had visited agieat many undertaking
establishments throughout the conntiy,
some of which were very handsomely
finished, but: that, East Grand Forks can
boast of having as fine and up-to-date
an undertaking establishment as can be
found in any of the large oities.
Mr. Sullivan has a large and complete
stock of caskets and funeral supplies,
everything being new and of the very
