bi ce ° TRIBUN THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NO. 190. BISMARCE, NORTH DAKOTA WEDNESDAY, AUG. 20, 1919 PRICE FIVE CENTS SENATE RESERVE ON FOUR POINTS PREPAREDTODAY| Reservations Embodied in Sep- arate Resolution Not Sub- mitted to Wilson MONROE DOCTRINE SAVED Washington, D., C., Aug. 20—Four reservations of the league of nations covenant are embodied in a separate resolution prepared today by Senator Pittman, of Nevada, a democratic member of the foreign relations com- mittee, for introduction in the sen- ate, Senator Pittman said the resolution was in line with the suggestion made to the foreign relations committee yes- terday by President Wilson that if reservations are to be made they should be embodied in a separate res- olution and not in the resolution of ratification which might make new ne- gotiations necessary. Senator Pittman said the reserva- tions had not been submitted to the president. They are similar to those proposed by a group of seven repub- lican senators and deal with the right of withdrawal from the league, article 10, domestic questions and the Mon- roe doctrine. 1 STOCK PAVILION I$ JAMESTOWN'S NEWEST VENTURE $50,000 Company Will Erect $25,000 Building to Stimu- late Better Breeds The first livestock pavilion in North Pakota is to be erected in Jamestown this fall and will cost about $25,000, according to Andrew Haas, secretary of the Commercial club of that city: Mr. Haas is guiding the Jamestown delegation that came to Bismarck yes- terday to welcome the directors of the national Chamber of Commerce who arrived in Bismarck last night. “The members of the Commercial, club and stock’ breeders in the vicin- ity. of Jamestown have formed a $50,- 000 corporation to build and operate a live stock pavilion,” said Mr. Haas last night. The building will be lo- cated:-a quarter, mile.-oyt-of the city on ‘the rights-of-way of two rail- roads, the Northern Pacific and the (Midland... This will enable shippers ‘aver @ considerable ‘territory to send their dtock to the pavilion without any trouble, or extra expenses. “The principal work of the pavilion will be to simulate better breeding of dairy and beef cattle in the state. Auc- tions of the best blooded cattle and other high grade stock will be held frequently. It is planned to have as Many as twenty auctions annually, but I do not believe it will be possible to have this number at first. “The organizers are about ready to let the contract for the construction of the pavilion and it is planned to have it completed before the end of fall. It will cost approximately $25,- 000 and it is intended to be large enough to house 250 to 200 head of stock at one time.” Mr. Haas was very enthusiastic about the coming fair that is to be held at Jamestown September 23, 24 and 25. One of the features of the fair this year, he said, was the amount of prizes to be competed for solely by women. Awards for needle- work, canning, and other housewife activities will amount to 400 in com- parison with only $50.last year, Mr. Haas said, ‘ The tourist travel over the Red Trail-thru Jamestown is very heavy, (Mr. Haas said.. The Sunshine high- way, which runs from the south as far north as Canada, through Jamestown, he said was very popular, Travelers on the Red Trail, he said, speak high- ly of the general condition of the roads through the various counties. When asked whether they spoke flat- teringly of Burleigh county’s portion of the Red Trail, Mr. Haas was forced to admit, “there were some complaints, particularly about that ‘portion near McKenzie.” DAVEY JONES’ LOCKER COLD STORAGE PLANT Houghton, Mich. Aug. 20.—Fisher- men, homesteaders, lighthouse keepers and coast guards along the shore of Lake Superior are taking advantage of a sinister trick of the inland sea to aid them in combatting the H. C. L. Those who drown in the deep waters of Superior disappear forever. Their bodies: never come to the surface. So the lake is being utilized as a celd storage plant for meat. Carcasses of sheep, pigs and, cattle are enclosed iu gunny sacking, weighed with rocks and lowered into two or three hun- dred feet of water, with a small flag buoy to mark the spot. Now and then a section of venison, which at this season would interest the game war- den, is disposed of in this manner. Meat remains fresh and sweet for a month or more in the airless, sunless, germless cold. When it is brought up from na- ture’s refrigerator, it is white on the outside, This may be shaved away or, if the meat is to be boiled, it is left on. Indians were the first to preserve meat in submarine coolers. H. G. WELLS BIOGRAPHY London, Aug. 20.—H. G.

C. Flint of Jamestown, who headed the delegation from that city to welcome the directors of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States who were in Bismarck Jast night. (Mayor Flint praised many of Bis- marck’s Wherished possessions, the pretty homes, the miles of paved streets, the general appearance of neatness, the cleanliness of the city, the Country club and its golf course and the progressiveness of the mer- chants and business men here. ‘When asked what was the one thing lacking to make Bismarck a perfect city, His Honor. without a moment’s hesitation, said: “Parks. With all the accomplishments and achievements of your city, I can not understand how you have overlooked having parks. The lack of shaded places for people to sit and gather, where band concerts could be given, a place for young peo- ple to congregate for amusement is very conspicuous. However, as Bis- marck has many things that we lack, I think it presumptious on my part to criticize your delay in establishing: a park board.” Jamestown to Pave. Mayor Flint stated that Jamestown intended to start this fall on putting in paved streets and paid particular attention to the manner in which the various types of pavement were stand- ing up under traffic here. He believed the criticisms of his city would be in favor of concrete surfaced streets rather than asphalt. The city intends raising $45,000 for school purposes, 952,000 for general purposes and the park board will ex-| pend: $3,000: ont ‘of this: year’s tax levy, ‘Mayor Flint said. 5 \ There is some opposition to’ pav- ing in. Jamestown, it is said. but ’in spite: ow injunctions and other ob- stacles, the business men are going ahead with their plans. The’ first paving will-be about fifteen blocks in the business section and this will be followed by paving in the residential districts as rapidly as the property holders desire it.

Many other young men who had originally intended attending the state institu- tion entered the service last year or did work that was made necessary by the absence of older men. (Making Up Faculty. , The general program for the next year’s work is already outlined and the main program now is the making up of the instructors’ staff for the year, according to President Kane.

A number of changes will be necessary in the teaching staff this next near as sev- eral of the old force have secured po- sitions with other institutions or en- tered other lines of work.

EXPECT RULING WILL BENEFIT SUPPLY BUYERS Foodstuffs Sold Through Post- office Will Be Cheaper If Information Is. Correct The price of foodstuffs sold through the postoffice from the surplus army stores at Omaha will be lower than those previously reported because of making a flat postal rate on all parcels of such articles instead of enforcing the usual zone prices. This announcement has been made, from Washington, it is said, and cer- tain cities in the state already have heen’ offically advised of the fact, but Postmaster Frank Reed at Bismarck has not been informed by Washington eg yet, It is thought likely, however, tht this official announcement will be received some time today or early to- morrow. When the announcement was first wade from Washingtan, it was stated that the different parcel post .zones ‘would govern the cost of sending the articles fromOmaha to this‘ city,but, a later ruling was made it is reported permitting such section, regardless how fer it might be from Omaha, to charge the rates enforced for the first zone.

FORTUNE SEEN IN REINDEER BEEF OF NORTHERN CLIMES Said That Large Quantities of Meat Are Now Being Sold in Minnesota Seattle, Wash., Aug. 20.—New for- tunes still lie in the far north for adventurers who will go into the Arc- lic section of Canada and Alaska and raise reindeer for the outside world markets, according to Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Canadian Arctic explorer. With the meat supply of the outside world decreasing annually, some day the bulk of the meat used in Europe and America will be brought down from tundra plains lying along the northern edge of the world, the ex- plorer predicted here recently. “Reindeer carcassees can be landed in Seattle at present at a total cost of between $7.00 and $8.00 and bring un average of about $30.00 each, leav- ing a Clear profit of| about $22.00 for each animal,” Stefansson said. At present a large amount of rein- deer meat from the Seward Peninsula section of northwestern Alaska is be- ing ‘sold in Minnesota. The meat re- tails at w price a bit higher than beef Lat it'is expected to droy in price as the supply increases, Investigations are being made by Stefansson for the Canadian govern- ment regarding the feasibility of trans- planting ‘reindeer into northeastern Canada for raising for outside market. Over 1,000,000 acres of northern Canada lie ready for the herds,” Stef- ansson estimated. These’ ‘lands are rch with northern vegetation which it is said will support the animals the year round, regardless of good or bad weather conditions. According to one scheme suggested the reindeer would be brought across the Atlantic from Scandinavian coun- tries for the transplanting in north- eastern Canada. The northeastern sec- tion would be selected because of the fact it is closer than other parts of northern Canad to the markets of Europe. It is said that it costs more to transplant {reindeer meat from vorthwestern Alaska to Seattle than from northeastern Canada to England. Nome, Alaska, people who recently formed a compan to raise and ship reindeer have four large herds and are considering taking an airplane north for use in herding the animals. AUSTRALIA WANTS CANDY ‘Sydney, Aug. 20.—Australians are longing to have restrictions lifted on candy.

ELGIN, AT MERCY OF FLAMES, HAS $75,000 FIRE LOSS; TEN BUSINESS STRUCTURES ARE LEFT IN ASHES Elgin, N. D.,-Aug. 20.—Seventy-five thousand dollars’ worth of-business property was destroyed and the entire town of Elgin was endangered by a blaze which broke out at 3 o’clock this morn- ing in a pool hall on Main street, presumably originating from an unextinguished cigarette stub dropped by some late patron of the place. j Elgin’s new water works system is incomplete, and the town was left at the mercy of the flames until a railroad tank car could be brought in by a-Northern Pacific train from Carson, an opera- tion which consumed two hours. In the meantime, New Leipzig dispatched its chemical engine to the flame-ridden city. The blaze was finally conquered after a traction engine had been hitched to a building owned by F. T. Lembke, which was in the direct path of the flames, and the structure was razed. In the meantime, volunteer firemen had been pumping from the railway tank car, a block and a half distant, and the New Leipzig fire equipment had been used with good effect. When the flames were finally subdued they left in ruins ten buildings on either side of Main street, including a pool hall, two restaurants, general store, hardware store, machinery house, post- office, a one-story office building, a tailor shop, a cream station and jewelry store and the building occupied by State’s Attorney Lembke as his office. The postmaster succeeded in saving practic- ally all of the stamps and other government supplies before the fire reached the building which housed the postoffice.
