OVER PLANS City Attorney Given Instructions to Proceed With Condemna- tion Suit After Bismarck’s er road difficul- ties had been settled for the ’steenth time, J. J. Jackman yesterday kicked the fat into the fire ‘by declining to give the city. a warranty deed for the property which he had offered as a right-of-way for the highway to the Missouri. A special meeting of the city com- mission was held yesterday. Capt. 1. P. Baker, owner of some of the prop- erty wanted, agreed to accept $800 for the land, providing Mr. Jackman would give the city a warranty decd for the tract which the latter was to transfer. This Mr. Jackman is said to have declined to do, and Captain ‘Baker then called his half of the bar- gain off. As a result of this muddle, City At- torney H. F.

D., last even- ing was elected grand councillor of the grand council, United Com- mercial Travelers, North Dakota and Minnesota. The honor came o the North Dakotan afier he had worked his way up from the lowest office in the grand council, each year-having witnessed another step toward the ultimate goal. ~ John F. McGrann of Fargo was elected grand conductor, and C. Final of Crookston, grand sentinel. “Business as usual’ was adopted by the large body of knights of the grip in attendance at the annual conven- tion here as their official slogan. Pioneer Salesman.

Nothing more can be done on Main and Fourth until the steel, ship- ped from Chattanooga two weeks ago | yesterday, arrives and the state com- pletes the relaying of its street car tracks in the business district. Hanlon & Oakes will transfer their crew to Miles City, where a large | contract is ‘in progress. When the time is ripe this crew will return to | Bismarck to pave the strect railway | right-of-way, and at the same time a number of alleys included in the first district will ‘be given their bitulithic surface. The paving contractors be- gan their work late last fall, and proceeded under difficulties, pushing their contract with all possible speed until nearly the first of December and uming operations early this spring. District No. 2. In district No. 2 the bulk of the curbing is in place and more than half the excavating has ‘been done. ‘The steam shovel is working on Ave. elween Ist and 2nd; curb is being pladed on Avenue C, between Fourth and Sixth, and concrete base is being laid on Rosser street between Highth and Ninth. An idea of whet the improvement will mean may be gathered from an inspection of the Fourth street curb- ing, which extends to the boulevard, giving a splendid, wide driveway as a central artery for the city more than 13 blocks in length. The prob- lem of handling the street railway on Fourth from Thayer to the boulevard is being worked out, and it is believed the plan agreed upon will prove satis- factory to everyone.

Balfour Arrives - Safely at London London, June 9.—Foreign Secretary Balfour arrived here today upon his return from America at the head of a British mission. Washington, June 9.—The safe _ar- rival of British Foreign Secretary Bal- four at a British port brought deep satisfaction to officials here, who sur- rounded his visit here with greater precautions and secrecy that probably ever prevailed before. The newspa- pers, though fully aware of Mr. Bal- four’s movements, cooperated under voluntary censorship to allow no men- tion of his routes or times of departure | to be published.
