The new boss of the Braves is teaching his pitchers the secrets of | getting better percentages. j “Half the pitchers‘in the major leagues don’t know how to stand on/ the rubber,”. says Mitchell. i “With men on the bases most| pitchers swing around on one foot, and telegraph to the smart base run- ner their throw.” McQuillan, Oeschger, Fillingim_ and Scott form'a pretty fair Big Four mound department. Al Pierotti also looks good, and Cy ‘Morgan is back after a good year in the minors. John Watson, the upper-hand boxman, ought to help the Braves again. Dick Rudolph acts like a youngster. The two Townsend boys, Lefty Leo and Ira;'a right-hander, may do more than relief duty. FARGO TOHOLD BIG TOURNAMENT FARGO, N. D. April 4.—Fargo will hold its biggest boxing exhibition of the season at ‘the Auditorium on April 8, when there will ‘be 28 rounds of the fistic sport.

The photographer’s son opened up dad’s new camera and exposed a lot of new plates, “Didn't know it was loaded.” * It's a deuce of a note when two tennis players both make three points. i !

Something the scrappers have failed to do. who’s who in the battery, when Bill and Jim Robinson are on duty. They are brothers and look so much alike To the Electors of the City of Bismarck In the issue of the Tribune of April 2nd, there is a Commun- ication signed.Campaign Committee, in which it makes accusa- tions that the writer has made False Statement No. 1, in regard to law-suit pending, in answer to which we will quote from the Su- preme Court records: “We express no opinion upon the questions actually involved in the proceedings initiated before the Board of Railroad Commissioners upon the complaint of the City of Bis- marck, that controversy is now pending in the District Court of ‘ Burleigh County.” vi False Statement No. 2. Answer to which I again quote from the Supreme-€ourt record: “As we construe the’ public utility act, rate increases cannot be ordered except after notice an hearing. And as we read the record certified to us there was neither notice nor hearing, of a proceeding for an increase in rates here. Hence, the order granting such increase is void.” Accord- ing to my interpretation cf this the decision of the Supreme Court is made purely on a technical point. N False Statement No. 3. The Campaign Committee admits that there was $6,800 appropriated in the budget for 1920, and 1921, but say that the $5,000.00 was for Water Case Expense. Will leave it to the good judgment of the voters as to the truth of my statement that this was on advice of counsel. Just in passing, the writer happens to have in his possession a card which reads “Vote for President City Commission, A. P. Lenhart, for Commissioners, C. Bertsch, Jr., and ©: W. Henzler. These men are for city ownership of public utilities. Ign’t this as much of a socialistic statement as if it had been published bythe non-partisans? : Yours respectfully, — R. L BEST. ‘4 commission.

The defense will be that vides that all consulting engineers, draftsmen, helpers, assistants, Mr. Atkinson paid some of this mone¥ out for as- linemen, inspectors, instruments, field supplies, office supplies, ete. / a sistants. As to the amount.paid out we will only were paid for by the. engineer out of this $48,000.00. The amount : have Mr. Atkinson’s word, as it isnot a:-public rec- paid for the above services totals approximately $39,000.00. This ord, and this no doubt is the reason why the City leaves the sum of $9,000.00 as the pay of Mr. Atkinson for ever Engineer is paid on a percentage acis and a sal- years work, being about $1,250.00 per year.

If there is no benefit to the City Engineer in the present method of payment it surely could do no harm to place him on a fixed salary, and make payments of expense for help- ers from the treasury by voucher allowed by the the engineering expense is costing. in passing it might be stated that the City Treas- ury is broke, and warrants given to laborers for the city and others ¢annot be cashed. One reason for this is the fact that city funds are being used for chasing rain-bews. Another, important reason is the fact that a number of taxpayers who are} , very friendly to the City administration have fail- | ed to pay their taxes with which to conduct the city affairs. Namely one of them the Hughes Electric Company, which has not at- this writing. paid its taxes for 1917, $6,170.06; 1919, $13,197.73; 1920, $13,211.90; total $32,579.69, not including penalty, and interest which js a large item.
