| KOSITZKY FINDS DIFFERENT TALE IN DRAKE MILL State Auditor’s Figures Show Loss of $7,440.23 in First Month Townley organs a few s blazon- ed across their front pages the al- leged fact that the Drake mill, for j which the state recently paid $20,000, had cleared $2,500 over expenses dur- | ing the first month’s operations. In- | asmuch ag few private owned mills are clearing 12% per cent per month, the statement attracted much atten- | tion. State Auditor Carl R. Kositzky pro- cured from the Schultz Audit Co., a | copy of its report, and he inserted in|} this tabulation two important items which the Schultz people overlooked— | salaries and expenses of the manager of the mill and elevator association | and his force, and salaries and ex- penses paid the secretary and stenog-j raphic force of the industrial com- mission, which manages the mill and other utilities, and the price paid for, appraising the mill. With these’corrections, Mr. Kosit- | lost during its first month’s opera- tions the neat sum of $7,440.23, which must be made up by the taxpayers of North Dakota.

CARL R. KOSITZKY, State Auditor, | Oct. 14, 1919. North Dakota. RAILWAY BUSINESS |HEAVIEST EVER, IN OPINION OF HINES Director General Requests Co- operation in Preventing Congestion superintendent of ion of the Soo, has | received the following statement from | the national railway administration, which requests.the cooperation of all | citizens in the prevention of freight | congestion: Chicago, Ill., Oct. 12, 1919. S. W. Derrick, Div. Supt., Mpls. St. P. S.S. M. RR, Bismarck, Walker D. director general jof railroads today issued the follow- ‘ing statement for releasing in morn- jing papers on Monday, Oct. 13: “The railroads of the country are now doing a heavier business’ for the present season of the year than was ever done in the history of the rail- roads in normal years and practically |as heavy business ag’ was done at this ; Season, 1918, which exceeded all pre- vious records. They have more cars in actual’ service after excluding cars held out of service for repairs than in 1917 or 1918. While the bad order car situation was greatly embarrassed by the extensive strikes among shop- men in August the percentage of bad order cars is now rapidly improving. There was an increase of 52,456 cars in serviceable condition between Aug- ust 16th and October 4th; 12,110 of this increase were added in the one week ending October 4. _ While the freight business is prac- tically as heavy as at this time last year the railroad administration in performing that business is unavoid- ably deprived of many exceedingly important aids which it was able to utilize last year. One of these is the zoning of coal which last year com- pelled consumers to take their coal from nearby mines and thereby great- ly increase the efficiency of coal trans- portation. This advantage has neces- sarily been lost because coal zoning was terminated last winter and an- other is that last year there was much heaviér loading of many impor- tant commodities than it has been possible to secure this year, and the result is. that under existing condi- tions more cars have to be used for the same amount of traffic that were used last year. There are various other important respects in which traffic was con- trolled in the interest of the war last year so as to get the maximum results out of rail transportation and with the return of peace conditions and the resulting insistence of public senti- ment upon release from war time re- strictions these’ advantages have been lost, The fact that there is still a shortage in rail transportation is due to conditions that the amount of busi- ness offering is far in excess of the transportation facilities of the coun- try. This has aay been true in this country in times of heavy business in the autumn months except last year when the matter could te and (was controlled with an iron hand. with a SASK Oa aie Pe ee esa S JASH UA ES er ep Neosat READY-TO-PUT-ON CUSTOM SERVICE WITHOUT THE ANNOYANCE OF A TRY-ON x TAILORED AT FASHION PARK * ION PARK Rochester New York OGT. 20, 1919.

The Man, a style book for Autumn, is ready for you. view solely to war necessity... At the same time railroad facilities have not expanded to. the extent-required -in.the public interest, even prior to the war, railroad facilities were not. equal to the demands. 5 During the war the addition of new facilities was greatly. restricted by scarcity of material and labor, since the war it has been impossible to en- ter upon or carry out any extensive program for enlargement of capacity. Because of ‘the uncertainty as to the values of the railroads the railroad administration was not provided with the money and therefore could not originate or ‘carry out any such pro- gram. The railroad companies, in .| View of the uncertainty, were unwill- ing to provide money. The result is the railroads’ facilities of the country are decidedly below what the traffic demands, nevertheless the maximum traffic is being handled and this is be- ing done with less shortage of trans- portation than manifested itself at time of the prewar period. Particular attention is being paid by the railroad administration to the furnishing of necessary equipment for the transpor- tation of coal and of grain. It was decided early in September that in order to meet the coal requirements of the country it would be necessary for the railroads to move a minimum of eleven million tons of bituminous coal a week. For the week ending September 13, 11,046,000 tons were transported; for the week ending September 20, 11,248,000 tons were transported, and for the week ending September 27, the railroad adminis- tration estimates that approximately McKenzie Hotel Block WE ARE READY TO SHOW THE, STYLES DEVELOPED BY OUR TAILORS AT.

The railroad administration is following this'matter very vigorously in consultation’ withthe grain. cor- poration and the director general will consider the matter personally at a meeting of interested. railroad offi- cers, representatives of the grain cor- poration and others to be held at Chi- cago this week.. As to the situation in Texas wherd the wheat conditions are particularly acute, because the crop 1s approximately 25 million bush- 11,575,000 tons were transported. Conditions have developed which have, made it necessary to handle the wheat situation in an emergency way. This situation has been complicated by the fact that many of the eleva- tors ‘are full and it has been imprac- ticable to move additional wheat to points _ where. the. elevators are. full. because todo so would’ cause large numbers of railroad cars to be filled with grain which could not. be dis- posed of at destination and this would result in practically taking such cars out of the transportation service and using them for storage and depriving BLOOD POISONING Wanila’s Wizard Oa Seto First Ad Trestment How often lockjaw and blood Poisoning result from the neglect ofa alight scratch or little cut!
