Jan. 12—Tommy_ Gib- bons. of St. Paul, defeated Chuck Wiggins. of Indianapolis. in a ten- round bout here last night. The North Dakota Society of Engi- neers in existence since 1911 is a technical society and numbers 79 members. The A. A. E. state chap- ter is “a non-technical society for technical men” and though organized but 10 months ago has at this time a membership of 100. The two socie- ties comprise practically. all of the kota. Judging from the interest shown by the state’s engineers and because of the engineers’ license bill to be in- troduced in the legislature and due to other legislative activities of both these societies, it is expected that the February joint meeting will result in the biggest gathering of engineers ever held in North Dakota. The State Association of Architects will, also have been invited to be ceedings.
