There! are now available several hundred thousands of dollars for making farm loans. Three million dollars worth; of bonds will be delivered as fast as the money can be used upein farm Joans. New bonds will be issued as soon as this amount of money is ex-' hausted. No false hope is held out by Mr. De- Nault or the administration. Mr. De-' Nault found when he went on the job here this week that there was a total of $4,381,090 cf unappraised loan ap- plications on hand in addition to $1,- , 894,600 appraised applications approv- | ed by the old administration, and not yet closed into loans, a grand total of about six and one-fourth millions. The department, which had been re- opened shortly before election, was disorganized when Mr. DeNault took it over this week. Until recently there had been but one clerk and one sten- ographer on the job. With the great number of applications already on hand, with appraisals to be made and scores of other details ‘in connection with the loans to be worked out, it will probably take several weeks to get the department well organized and functioning properly. There is, however, the confident ex- nectation on the part of the adminis- tration that several million dollars will be loaned out before the wjntez is over, and that when the new real estate bonds are sold the interest rate will be lower than that provided in the hond contract of the former in- dustrial commission.

This sentence was given by Judge Amidon in federal court together with a fine of $500. The jail sentence will be served at Beach. Williams came to Fargo unattended, paying his own expenses. His hired man, Lawrence Gianieany, was witli him. The latter was fined but $25. Williams described to officials how he went into the whisky making bus- iness on a large scale—and how it cost him his wife’s companionship.
