CONSERVATION OF ARTESIANS 1S CONSIDERED Meeting of Representatives of Two States to be Held in Grand Forks Soon | AT -STATE ASSOCIATION ‘Grand Forks, N. D., Jan, 25.—Prob- lems of the conservation of the artes- ian well waters of North and South Dakota will be considered at a meet- ing of the représentatives of the two states at ‘which a representative of the U. S. Geological Survey will be present. The meeting will be under the auspices of the University and - with the cooperation of the Grand Forks Chamber of Commerce. The first two days of the session, January 24th to 26th will be the annual meet- ing of the North Dakota Well Drillers’ | Association. On Thursday the 26th, the subject of conserving the flowing well water supply of the states will he (presented. | Mr. 0: E. ‘Meinzer, chief of the | - Ground Water Division of the United j\ States Geological Surgey, Washing- ton, D..C., will be the representative of the government at the meeting. Mr. ‘Meinzer will bring to the meeting the figures of conditions in other states with conditions similar to the two Dakotas. The conference is a direct result of | the passage a year ago By the North Dakota legislature of an act provid- ing for the preservation and control! of the artesian waters of the tate. The bill was the result of a report to! the State Legislature that the artesian waters of the state were rapidly los- ing head and pressure, due largely to careless waste. The field survey last summer demonstrated to the geolo- gists and engineers of North Dakota that the cooperation of South Dakota was necessary to achieve results and the present conference was arranged. In addition to Mr, Meinzer it is. ex- pected that the speakers at the con+ fereace will include President I; Kane of the University of North Da- kota; Dean E. J: Babcock of the Uni- versity; Dean E. S. Keene of the Ag- ricultural College;, John Berg, State Engineer of South Dakota; W. H. Rob ingon, State Engineer, North Dakota, Dr. Fieeman Ward, State Geologist, South Dakota; A. G, Leonard, State Geologist, North Dakota; W. C, Toep- elman, State University, South Da-| kota; Leonard P. Dove, Asst. State | Geclogist, University North Dakota.

FORMER VICE-PESIDENT OF SCANDINAVIAN BANK, 3 ARRESTED é (Centinued from Page 1) “ is alleged to have been made reads as follows: $3,000.00. Fargo, North Dakota, January 20, 1919. Ninety days after date, for value received, I promise to pay to Scandi- navian American bank, Fargo, N.

By J. J. Hastings, Trustee. Townley May Be Involved. Althoqugh Hastings and Thomas Al- len Box were the ostensible owners of the sixal trust at the time the al-) _ leged embezzlement took place, both J. W..Brinton and J. R. Waters who succeeded “Box and Hastings in “the management of that enterprise have testified under oath that A. C. Town- ley. Was the actual owner. This charge: is understood to be confirmed by an affidavit made by Hastings him- self. during the summer of 1919. A éwil action in which Waters seeks to collect $5,000 from aeeeiay for thé services in the management of the U. S. Sisal Trust is now pend- ing in the courts. The trust was an organization formed to grow sisal, the plant from which binder twine is made in Florida, in which Townley is said to have embarked in 1917. Hastings’ alleged connection with the sisal trust as well as with the Scan- dinavian American hank was severed in’ the spring of 1919 following a scandal in connection with the re- organization of a Valley City bank in; which he and his partner, Thomas Allen Box, were said to be involved. At that time, according to J. W. Brin- ton, Townley became afraid that the might be in- vestigated, and the trai) found to lead to him. He therefore removed them and put Brinton and Waters in their places as far as the sisal trust was concerned. Hastings was a prominent figure in the league in the early days. He gained considerable notoriety in con- deal. He was known as chief finan- cial agent for the league and in addi- tion became rather prominent in the organization of so-called “league banks.” Several hanks were organ- ized, and at the legislative investiga- tion last winter efforts were made to show that it was’ Townley’s plan to organize a chain of banks and that Hastings Was carrying out his orders. OFFICER TO GO FOR HIM Fargo, Jan, 23.—George Raymond, sheriff of Cass county, is scheduled to leave tomorrow evening to bring John J. Hastings, arrested in Seattle, Wash., on charge of embez- zling $3,000 while he wag vice presi- dent of the Scandinavian-American bank kere. The warrant was issued early last week on complaint of William Green, attorney of Cass county, who charged Hastings obtained the $3,000 ns A POTENT METROPO IS ASLEEP This photo, made from an airplane at a height of 2000 feet, shows the present status of construction at Muscle In the center is the U.
