The Weather CONTINUED COLD FORTIETH YEAR OFFERS 10 BUY WARRANTS FROM MANY. COUNTIES War Finance Would Advance $675,000 for Use of South- western Counties GOVERNOR IS INFORMED Offer Paves Way for Providing Ample Finances to Meet Emergency Needs Ample finances for counties in the southwestern part of the state in carrying on emergency methods to better the situation of farmers and livestock men jn particular probably will be made available through sev- eral agencies. 4 The War Finance Corporation, ac- cording to a message received by Gov- ernor Nestos today, is willing to take threefourths of $900,000 of county warrants at par, to aid in the emer- gency purchase of feed for stock. The offer was conditioned upeg_Twin City institutions, taking the:'remain- ing 25 per cent of the w: ints. The warrants would provide funds: for pur- chases of hay, ete., during the remain- der of the winter, and would be re- placed later by bonds. The Governor immediately got into communication with Mandan parties who have been instrumental in relief work which has been necessitated by a shortage of feed due to the heavy snow and long.continued cold weath- er. C.F. Jaffrey, of Minneapolis, has been in Washington conferring with officials of the War Finance Corpora- tion on the subject. The present of- fer, if the deal cam be completed, will provide sufficient finances to meet the Present situation, it is believed. Reports from several of the south- western counties say that commission- ers have been extremely active in ob- taining emergency shipments of hay. Several of the counties also have ‘ recently issued bonds to take up county warrants and put the counties on a,cash ‘basis. Morton county will receive $200,050 trom bond sales with- in two weeks, it is stated. The $5,000,000 appropriation ill which was introduced by Senator Mc- Cumber and was passed in the senate is now pending in the house. If this bill is passed there will ‘be ample funds for the 1922 planting in this state and in Montana, it is believed. A visitor: in the. city today from Adams and Bowman counties said that the cattle in those counties was in jfeirly ghod ‘condition, and that many farmers had sufficient feed, He expressed belief that’these two coun- ties were more favorably situated than some others. NEW ROAD LAW IS OPPOSED BY COMMISSIONERS Representatives of Four Coun- ties at Grand Forks Take Action in Matter Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 28—Coun- ty commissioners of Grand Forks, Walsh, Pembina and Cavalier coun- ties, in conference here with mem- bers of the North Dakota highway commission, adopted a resolution op- posing the proposed North Dakata constitutional amendment, providing for a state system of highways, which is to be submitted to the voters at the November election. The resolution says: “Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that we believe it is to the best interests of the taxpayers of our state to disapproye the proposed amendment to the constitution to be submitted to the voters at the Novem-| ber election, in respect to the system of state highways; for the reason that past experience has proven that any system of highway construction in “ conjunction with federal aid is ex- ceedingly extravagant, due to an overlapping of duties and a multipli- cation of efforts on the part of the federal government and the state gov- ernment. a‘ “We are satisfied that just as ser- viceable roads can be constructed un- der existing laws, without a constitu- tional amendment, for 50 per cent of! the cost of the roads now being, con-} structed with the socalled federal aid act. “We further recommend that the citizens give careful thought and study to the proposed amendment, in con- junction with the present federal aid act, particularly for the reason that the federal aid act provides that immense sums of money shall be ex- pended on not to exceed séven per cent ot the roads of the state. ‘ “Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to} the board of county commissioners of; each county in the state.” NARCOTIC DEN I$ RAIDED Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 28—Six men were arrested here early today in the raid on what police termed a narcotic den.

The Industrial Commission also signed th> mortgages on the Drake ‘mill and Grand Forks mill and eleva- tor property, authorized issuance of $3,000,000 of mill and elevator bonds and provided for the immediate is- suance of $1,100,000 of this amount. Tho proceeds of the $1,100,000 bond sale will be used to reimburse the Bank of North Dakota in part for money loaned to carry on. work at the Grand Forks mill and to provide for continuance of the work during the spring. ‘ Further issuance of bonds will be in praisals, so that the bonds will be is- sued only as the work progresses, preventing .unnecessary interest charges.’ It is the intention of the comitiission, it was stated, to completa the mill by fall if possible.

RAIL BODY MAY GET NEW POWER BY GRAIN SUIT al Grain Grading Case May Resul in ‘Inspectién: Powers Be- ing Transferred What further action the state of North Dakota will take in the grain grading cases will be decided by Seth Richardson, of Fargo, special assist- ant Attorney-General in the cases, it was said today by Attorney-General Sveinbjorn Johnson. Following receipt of word that the supreme court had decided against North Dakota in the case originally instituted by the Farmers Grain Com- pany, of Embden, N. D., Mr. Johnson directed a letter to Mr. Richardson asking him to look into other’ pend- “ng matters to protect the state’s interests. Because Mr. Johnson was an attorney in’ the action of the grain company, he continued Mr. Richardson as special assistant attorney-general. There is the case of the Homer Farmers’ Elevator Company against the state pending in the supreme court of the United States in which virtually the same questions are raised. Until the text of the opinion of the supreme court in the Embden case has been considered by attorn- eys, it is not certain just what may be the disposition of this case or what further action may be taken. One’ of the results of the decision of the supreme court, according to opinion expressed at the state railroad commission offices, will be to trans- fer the licensing and inspection of grain elevators back to the state rail- road and warehouse commission. The licensing and inspection was trans- ferred from this ‘body to the state in- spector at the Agricultural College| under the grain. grading act. The grain grading act was enacted by a Nonpartisan league legislature and great benefits were claimed to have inured to the farmers of the state under it. ‘This claim was dis- puted by m WHIP MAN, WARN ‘HIM 10 LEAVE Claremore, Okla., Feb. 28—Jack | Burlington, traveling salesman repre-; senting a Kansas City firm, was tak- en from, the city hall yesterday by a; band. of masked men and spirited to a place three miles from the city and severely whipped, it became known | today. | He was then warned to leave town and never return. others. = OKER ACCUSED OF New York Feb. 28—Alfred E.
