Last year the Fort Yates prognosticator fell by the wayside most woefully, and he has been roasted therefore good and plen- ty. The fore part of this winter, when the mercury was skating around 30 below, Judge Beede had the courage to say tuat the middle of the winter would be mild and heavenly, and our bad weather confined to the opening and closing weeks. The weather which central North Dakota has enjoyed since the first of the year has certain- ly been mild, and but for the fact that we ave had an occasional breeze, it certainly could be described as “onen.” ‘Several days have elapsed since the mercury toucned zero. ‘I'he coldest last night was five above, and it was several degrees warmer than that at noon, Warm weather is common throughout the United States and Can- ada. Calgary, with 6 below; Charles City, 2-minus; Edmonton, 16-minus; Moorhead, 4-minus; Prince Albert, 2- minus, St. Ste Marie, 2-minus, and Switt Current, 10-minus, were the only points on Observer O. W. Roberts’ weather map which registered below zero temperatures last night. The snowfall has been light, less than one-hundredth of an inch of pre- cipitation having been registered lo- cally. The wind iias kicked it into drifts, and occasioned some trouble thereby, ‘but there has been compara- tively little suffering among live: stock. Colder and clear weather is predicted for tonight,. with a rising temperature in the exireme western portion of the state tomorrow. FLOODED CONDITION SOMEWHAT BETTER Bozeman, Mont., Jan. 17.—The flood- ed condition in and about the town j of Trident have been relieved but | slightly during the past twenty-four hours. The people have not been able to return to their homes and there is still from three to four feet of water standing in the streets. A crew of fifty men have -been working on the ice jam a guarter.of' a mile below the town but have been unable to relieve the pressure to any great extent. Refuge .has been found. by the stricken families in the nearby towns of Logan. and Three Forks. Most of them are. being cared. for.in Three Forks by the citizens there. The peo- ple of Three Forks have turned out and have ‘done good work in rescuing the people of Trident from the im- ending danger. Automobiles have ‘been plying between the two cities be- ing used in rescuing personal belong- ings and clothing to keep the refugees comfortable. HOTEL MAN GIVES GUESTS LECTURE ON WHY WHEATLESS DAYS Guests of the Hotel McKenzie were treated to a “wheatless day” address on Hooverizing by A. ‘E. Roberts, the steward, who took advantage of the luncheon hour to tell the diners what Hoover expects of the hotels and what the hotels, in turn, must ask of their guests. “The co-operation which we are re- ceiving from our patrons, and especial- ly from the traveling fraternity, is| most gratifying,” said Steward Rob- ers. “Occasionally we meet a kicker, j but as soon as the purpose is explain- ed to him, he becomes a booster.” BAD WEATHER CUTS COAL SHIPMENTS TO LOWEST EBB.OF WEEK Washington, Jan. 17.—Bad weather reduced coal movements between the Applachian mountains and the Missip- pi River today to less than at any time within the last week, according to re- port reaching the railroad adminihtra- Lion, THORW NCE Sie SMART us Nolves ofthe Rail” AnARTCRAFT Picture This special feature will be the Bi: ‘AT TRIDENT GROWS : eae AT ‘THURSDAY, JAN, 17, 1918. STATE EXAMINER MAKES RECORD IN YEAR'S ECONOMY Cuts Down Cost of Operating Of- fice in Face’of Fast-Mount- ing Expenses. WANTS MONEY FOR NEW ACT Waters Anxious to See Guarantee- ing of Deposits Tried Out in North Dakota. The state bank examiner's depart- ment, under Major J. R. Waters of Beach, shows a saving for the first year of the new examiner's adminis- tration of $2,400,86. While the cost of printing, postage and a number of oth- er items in the state banking depart- ment have increased, Major Waters has been constantly on guard for op- portunities to economize, and he has achieved a record rather unique as compared with some other depart- ments’ expenditures, shown in State Auidtor Kositzky’s statement for 1917. During 1917 the force of examiners on the road was increased, but a con- siderable saving was effected by re- districting the state and reducing heavy mileage costs. At the same time there has been a heavy ‘increase in the earnings of the department, which always has been more than self-sup- porting. Examinations have been made promptly, and the work of the department kept up to date although during the year there was an increase in the number of state banks from 656 to 705, adding materially to the work og the department. In addition to all its other services, the department dur- ing the year collected $3,200 in fees delinquent from .1916, Just now State Examiner Waters’ chief concern is an appropriation which will enable his to place in ef- fect the depositors’ guaranty fund en- acted by the Fifteenth assembly. “I regard this as one of tue best laws the last session gave us,” said Mr. Wa- “Unfortunately no appro- -te'ion was made for funds to place the law in opera Up to this time, the expense of printing, postage and other incidentals has been paid from the regular appropriation of this de- partment. We have carried prelimin- ary work along to a point where we can soon have the act in operation if the special session gives us a reason- able appropriation. It is my opinion that the great majority of the bank- ers of North Dakota now are heartily in favor of this act. Even those who first strenuously opposed it, seem to have been won over. Personally, [ would like to see the proposition given a fair trial.” NO DEFINITE WORD FROM NEGOTIATIONS AT BREST-LITOVSK London, Jan. 17—There was 19 definite word from Berlin or Petro- grad throwing new light on the ci in Berlin as affecting the Brest-Li:o- vsk peace negotiations and* the state- iment of Baron ver Dem _ Bussche- Haddenhause, under secretary for far- eign affairs, that no fresh instruc- tions have been sent to the German secretary of foreign affairs Dr. Rich- ard Von Kuehlmann, would seem to indicate that there is no intention of receeding from the German attitude of refusing to evacuate any territory oc- cupied in Russia. Some of the German papers an- nounce that negotiations have been resumed at Brest-Litovsk but there is nothing ‘o confirm this statement. The press organs of both political groups in Germary claim victory in the Von Ludendorff—Von Kuehlmann contro- versy, from which it may be assumed that no important change of policy has isued as a reslt of the crown councils. FIVE BIG DRAY LOADS OF RED CROSS YARN IS SHIPPED BY LUCAS CO. Five huge drays were required to transport from the A. Wi Lucas Co. to the freight station 5,000 pounds of Red Cross yarn which this department store is shipping to Red Cross chap- ters in all parts of the Bismarck dis- trict.
