If sown to wheat with @ resultant crop of 14 bushels to the‘acre, the crop would be worth $16:380.000. at going price, said Assistant State Engineer J. B. Kaulfuss: today to the North Dakota Society of Engineers, in annual conven- tion here, | “There are in North Dakota approx: | | | imately. 70,000 miles of public, high- ways,” said Mr, Kaulfuss. “All of these are in a-more or less improved | confition—generally —_ le: Seventy thousand miles of public highways is equivalent practically ‘to one mile of road for each square mile of area.’ The population of. North Dakota is believed to be about 750,000, or about ten persons to each square mile of area, With this ratio or population to area or road mileage, it is at once | evident that the road prohiem-in North ; Dakota has been and will be a serious one until the population is greatly “increased.

Kaulfuss proceeded, “is 5.000.000, hich «wita an-averave haul of six miles produces a traffic of 30,000,000 ton-mil The cost per ton mile in the state: is not less than 30 cents, which gives the cost ‘of hauling $9.000.000 annually. A saving of one cent. per ton-mile (the average cost per ton-mile for the , United, States being 23 cents) would! produce an economy of $500,000 an- nually to the state.

The merger was ef- poration styled the Pioneer Press Co. Business men of Mott subscribed for thirty-five hundred dollars of prefer- red stock and E. E. Enge for eleven thousand five hundred dollars of com- mon stock, making the total capital- ization fifteen thousand dollars. * BUSINESS MEN DIRECTORS According to the agreement made at the time, three business men, R. E. Trousdale, G. J. Helming and F. G. Orr, were made directors, and Mr. Enge agreed to vote the common stock for them for directors for a three- year period if no other newspaper was published at Mott during that period. He died in November, 1918, and the business was continved until the spring of 1919 when J. W. Brinton ap- peared on the scene, secured an op- tion on the common stock held by the heirs for eight thousand five hundred dallars.

The former directors, knowing of the sale of the common stock and thinking that of course he could proceed in a legal man ner, dismissed the matter froin their minds. It has lately been found that the corporation records show, no action by the directors before Mr. Brinton as- sumed control; that the time prescrib- ed in the by-laws for the annual elec- tion of directors has passed and no meeting of stockholders was held. The best legal advice is that the old direct- ors still hold and their successors can- not legally be elected until the an- nual meeting next January. OLD BOARD RESUMES CHARGE So, after consulation with the men who hold preferred stock, the old board of directors have assumed con- trol. again and outlined the policy of the paper as long as under their man- agement. In politics it is to be repub- lican in principle but independent as to the different factions and fair to all, attempting to wield its influence for the good of the county, the state and the nation. At the time of the required semi- annual publication of the affidavit of ownership, management, circulation, etc. required by the government for admission to the mails, last October, the Publishers National Service bu- reau sent the manager a long list of farmers names who had subscribed stock in the Hettinger County Farm- ers Press corporation and requested that they be included in the list of owners of the stock of the Pioneer Press Co. This was done, thus lead- ing the farmers to believe that they were part owners of the Mott Pigneer Press plant. The fact was that not one of them had any stock or interest in the corporation, as proved by the (corporation records and stock book, and this statement was therefore mis- Jeading. The directors have instruct- ed the manager to prepare and print in the next ‘issue a eorrected state- ment of the owners including. only those to whom stock has been issued, and to send the corrected Statement to the government by first mail with a letter of explanation. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED The following resolutions have been adopted by the board of directors and spread on the minutes of the corpora- tion: (Continued on page two) SOUTH DAKOTA COUNTY MAY ISSUE $500,000 IN BONDS FOR ROADS Bison, S.

Kimbrough displayed slight signs of emotion as he was placed in the electric chair and the black cap low- ered over his head. The electric cur- rent was quickly applied and the neg- ro was dead within fifteen seconds. Two brothers of the Hardman girl and seventeen Lexington citizens, to- gether with eight soldiers and twelve prison guards,, witnessed the execu- tion. The negro refused to make a state- ment when‘he was taken from his cell. He declared yesterday that he was ready to die and that he prayed for j the little ten-year old Hardman girl whom he had killed and the entire Hardman family. STORY OF CRIME Will Lockett, negro, whose trial at Lexington, Ky., caused the death of six white men in a riot, paid the penalty for marder of a 10-year old white girl. He was electrocuted. Lockett was 30 years old, a native of Henderson, Ky., and a soldier at Camp Zachary Taylor, during the world war. The victim was Geneva Hardman of South Elkhorn. She was killed on the morning of Feb. 4, 1920, The murder of the little girl near the village ot South Elkhorn aroused the people there. Her non-appearance at school resulted in finding her mut- lated body in a corn field beside the country road. Posses late in the aft- ernoon , found — Lockett, apparently a wandering negro, at Dixontown, six miles from the place, of her death. He was taken to Lexington whence the authorities spirited him to the state retormatory at Frankfort. The same night .a long line of automobiles lead- ed with armed men, made a demand upon the prison authorities for the possession of the negro. \ Governor Edwin P. Morrow warned the crowd that. the negro would be protected at any cost and it dispersed. On February 9, guarded by nearly 100 ‘members of the state militia, Lockett was taken to Lexington, a special grand jury was impaneled, an indictment was returned and within 40 minutes after he was placed on trial Lockett was convicted and sen- nee to be electrocuted here March BEGINNING OF RIOT Announcement of the verdict seem- ed to anger the crowd outside which had grown large. A man with a rope yelled, “Let’s get him” and led’ the mob up the court house steps. Adjut- ant General DeWees, in command of the militia, attempted to halt the crowd bi% it pressed on and the guardsmen opened fire. Five persons were killed and twenty were wound- ed, one of the wounded dying a few hours later. Governor Morrow was advised and called upon the federal authorities for troops. Within a few hours, two riot battalions of regulars were formed at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, and under the commander of Briga- dier General F. C. Marshall, were on the way to Lexington in special trains. Arriving there in the middle of the afternoon, General Marshall detrained his men in riot formation, with fixed bayonets. They marched up the street.to the court house. With- in 40 minutes army authorities: say, crowds were cleared from the streets, pickets were posted, patrols were es- tablished and Lexington and Fayette county declared under martial law. Lockett meanwhile was confined in a cage within the court house, where he remained until the night of Feb. 10, when he was taken from the court house, marched down the street in the center of a squad of soldiers and placed on board a special train bound for the state prison.
