BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE GRAD FORKS AN CSS COUNTIES I FOR HGHWAY AI First to Make Proper Application for Apportionment of State and Federal Funds Grand Forks and Cass county, the only two in the state which made proper application to the state high- way commission at its meeting Sat- urday, will be the first to receive state and federal aid for the building of roads. Grand Forks asks assistance in construction of twenty-five miles, and Cass with seventeen. The commission Saturday discussed the apportionment of the road fund, but arrived at no definite decision. There will be available for the whole year $303,429, which if distributed equally over the 3,749 miles included in the state highway system would be equivalent to $88 the mile, It is not probable, however, that an equal distribution will be made, and it is Jwewecec cccccwcece momo o owen coocco coc ooo occe.

And, of course, | greeted him with a “Hello, Bill!” For an hour he had been hurling HIMSBLF against the wickedness of New York as though he would push it all into the Hudson river. And how impatient he had been to begin the job! While the immense choir was singing, he sat hunched up on his chair, biting his finger nails, folding and unfolding his arms and clenching his fist, then suddenly getting up and striding across the platform, flipping a coin into the air. Billy grabbed a late edition of an evening paper as the alcohol was be- Billy Sunday as he looks in his New York campaign, the greatest of his career, sketched from life especially for Tribune. the paper was claimed by his 9-year- old son, who's a chip off Billy.

Eurnstad was brought here by Teddy because the prisoner was re- garded a “bad man" and Teddy a good man to handle bad men. Two years later ‘Burnstad proved his bad- ness by going bugs altogether, and he was transferred to the state hospital at Jamestown. Billings was then at- tached to Morton county for judicial purposes, When Burnstad showed up at the Jamestown hospital his com- mitment read from Morton, and his care was charged to that county be- ginning with 1907, when the law as: ‘atatisties which prove North Dako- ta’s percentage of preventable fires to be considerably less than that of a number of other states which are much older and provided with bet- ter means of protection. The National Underwriters charge up 33.2 percent of North Dakota’s fires as strictly preventable. Rhode Island, Delaware, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho and Nevada in the order nam- ed, report more strictly preventable fires in proportion. North Dakota is charged with 41.5 percent of fires as “partly preventable,” and there are fourteen states with a higher per- centage, ranging up to 61.8 for Ari- zona, Of fires of unknown origin, probably largely preventable, North Dakota is charged with but 25.3, there being but five states in the union with a lower percentage, the lowest of all, it is interesting to note, being South Dakota, with 17.2 per cent. New Jersey ranks highest with 62.2 percent. These percentages do not refer. to the amount of fire loss, but only to the proportion of the tota) fire loss in each state assignable to the differ- ent classifications. In amount of total loss North Dakota would rank much lower than it does in proportion or percentage of loss, while the hazard is much greater than in older states, where the proportion of loosely con- structed frame buildings tn the busi- ness district is not so great. The total fire loss in North Dakota sessing to counties the cost of car- ing for the insane was passed. Just recently Morton county dis- covered that it didn’t own Burnstad at all. It therefore reckoned back the amount it had paid for his keep and deducted from its payment to the state for other insané the sum of $1,303.73, The state passed the buck to Billings, but Billings objected on the ground that since Burnstad was committed, Slope and Golden Valley have been sliced from their mother county and that they should be requir- ed to pay a share, The state auditor is just home from afew days in these three counties, and he has pro-rated among them the total expense to date — $1,524.54, which might have been saved had Teddy allowed his prisoner to “beat it.” Billings, is charged with $928.18; Golden Valley, $263.18, and Slope $433.18, NORTH DAKOTA'S FIRE RECORD GOOD ONE, SAYS STATE.
