Sevev cee cis OOO THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) TER CONTROVERSY SETTLED ens of Bismarck owe a public vote of thanks to the of the city commission and the special citizens’ committee working in cooperation with them for the prompt settlement of the water works controversy. Bids on a new | plant guided the commission in their deliberations and the diplomacy and business acumen of George P. Flannery, used | ‘to large affairs, aided greatly in arriving at a price on the present plant. Bismarck is assured now of a modern plant. It is the} intention of the City Commission to give this city an ade-| quate supply of water at reasonable rates. Their task has| been a hard one and they have toiled zealously to bring about ax wise settlement — one that would be to the people | they represent and at the same time not prejudicial to the | vested rights of the Bismark Water Supply company. 7 ince the opening of bids for a new plant the city com- mission and its advisers have displaved an open mind. At no time has the door been shut against negotiations and the} spirit of give and take that prevailed throughout augurs | well for the future civic spirit of Bismarck. Settlement of this controvers point for Bismarck. should prove a turning} It heralds the cessation of a controversy that waxed bitter at times and militated against that harmony and team work that must obtain if this! city is to forge ahead. Purch of the water plant has removed a great obstacle which has stood in the way of the! city’s growth. Public clamor for city ownership of the water plant has been insistent and at all stages of the controversy, the city commissioners had a most united electorate behind them. The price of $265,000, an offer originally made by the city will be approved by the voters generally. It meas too the end of expensive litigation and as soon as the details are arranged the city can take over the plant and begin to im- prove service through additions and much needed extensions. A filtration plant is necessary. There must be more mains and larger ones. Fire protection becomes a paramount issue as well as power equipment so the city can pump its own water independent of any private utility. These plans must be worked out conservatively and in line with best public policy. Now that the controversy is over something should be said of the work of T. R. Atkinson city engineer. titude has been maligned, but the estimates and the bids on the new plant form his vindication. The time has come to bury the past acrimony and in the ; heartiest harmony and closest team work strive forward for | a bigger and better Bismarck.

Letter From Sally Atherton to Leslie Prescott Makes all the difference in the world, whether the rifle | delivers buckshot or birdshot. Most of us aim at the big! game of life with blank cartridges. This is illustrated by | genius—gifted writers having a weakness for writing about | nothing. | The whims of the alleged human race are impossible to fathom these days, no matter how long you study psychology. | Why did “Absolutely, Mr. Gallagher! Positively, Mr. ; Shean!” take the country by storm? Somehow it struck the right chord in a jazz period. | We used to have more motive, even intelligence, in our | national musical whims, as when Eva Tanguay started epi- ; demics of joy with “I Don’t Care” and Bert Williams with | “Nobody.” | The psychology of today is baffling, probably because | today is so close to the borderline of insanity. \ | JOBS | Tt looks as if the “big fellows” are expecting the ness boom to last longer than the crepe-hangers predict. The movement of iron ore down the Great Lakes, bound from Lake Superior mines to the iron and steel mills, is con- tinuing at such a heavy rate that experts predict shipments for the 1923 season will.be close to 60 million tons. That would be nearly a half more than during 1922. And the wise steel men are not apt to be buying and stocking high-, priced ore unless they are reasonably sure of a market for finished products made from the ore. busi- i WAGES How much money are you making? Enough to have, $4: left after paying room rent? That’s what the aver- | age.farmhand is getting, according to government investi- | gation. And the figure doesn’t inclade “and board:” They | pa: eir board out of the $42.38. vfighest farm wages are in the horth Atlantic and New England States—$3''a day without board. Lowest: rate is in the south, $1.48. These are average figures. The city man can make interesting comparisons! with his own income.

It must not be — inferred that ‘Henry Nelson endured with pa tience the blows that were rained upon him. On the contrary, he | fought back with every weapon he Jeould lay ‘hands upon, and there were many. In this he was aided by Old Bell, for father and son were much alike and their friction had |been only such as results from the rubbing of two hard bodies of iden- | tical composition; they }were put under ‘they adhered and jout heat. | How they managed it at all baf- fled Gray, and worried him, too, for he knew that if ever they turned {the corner they would be safe from jhim and his vengeance would fall ito the ground. One big well would set them up, and there was always that da for scarcely a week without news of some gi- sher. Khowing all there to know about their field activi- » he set himself to the task of learning more about the bank itself and about their method of operat- ing it. This was a task, indeed, and he spent much time at it—time he could ill afford, ay, for he, too, had about exhausted his resource. He was surprised one day to re- ceive from Roswell, the banker who |had first backed him, an almost per- emptory summons to Dallas. Gray had made much money for Roswell and his crowd; they were still heavily interested with him arid he} was counting upon their further support. The tone of this letter, therefore, gave him a disagreeable | shock. On the whole, however, he s glad of an excuse to go, for the ows had returned and had bought a home in Dallas, and he was eager for now heavy functioned with- | last | sight of them, Mr. Roswell’s greeting. was quite as cool as his letter; but he bes tr da keen interest in the prog- ress of their joint affairs and asked a good many searching questions. |Gray answered frankly. / “You surprise me,” the banker an- nounced, finally," for you confirm |something 1 did not wish to believe.

As to double dealing—is it double-dealing to go to an enemy and tell him frankly that you intend to do it?” ¥ « “Did you do that?” , “I did. What is more, I offered to fight fair and he agreed.

They can't unseat me, and I warn them not to try.” The speaker rose. He hesitated, before leaving to say: “Yourf’ son served with honor, Mr. Roswell. I know how you must feel about this —other matter, therefore I shall spare you the embarrassment of de- clining my hand.” The financier’'s face reddened; rather stiffly he said, “You know Whether you have @ right to offer it” Instantly the departing visitor ex- tended his palm, and.
