The storm followed a freak course, covering a considerable ea both south and north of Bismarck, and apparently followed the river. It rained very lightly in Mandan but south of that city. The barn of Ben Campbell, 8 miles south of Mandan on the river road, was struck by lightning about 1 a fire caused apparently smouldered for several hours and then broke into flames.

OVERLAND T0 OBSERVE ITS ANNIVERSARY Production of Million Cars Reached by the Huge Motor Manufacturing Organization On Tuesday June.12, the Willys- Qverland: Company.,of ‘Toledo, Ohio, produced its oné millionth car and this car bearing serial number 1,- 000,000 marking as it does a signi- ficant event in the als of one of the World’s largest automobile industries, will be given official recognition by all Willys-Overland Branches, Distributors and Dealers throughout the United States dur- ing the week of June 18 td the 23. This week has been set aside by President John N. Will Jubilee Week when celebrations will be ear- ried out in every section of the country, Big preparations are completed to make the weck a notable one, Toledo when the Company entertain civie clubs of the ctiy to and dinners in the Building. The creation of the one millionth ear is conducive to some retros| tion. The original Overland was de- signed and built in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1901 by Claude FE. Fox a youthful graduate of Rose Polytech- nic Institute. The car proved to he an innovation due chiefly to the fact that the motor was placed over the front axle instead of being placed under the seat as were the| engines in all other cars being made at that time, the designer in- sisting that the location over the front axle was the logical place and asserting that in time all manufac- turers would recognize the advis- ability of it. Another decided im- provement that the Overland had over other cars of that period was the seating arrangement. Early models of the car| came out with the entrance to the rear seat from the side, while the entrance to the rear seat on other makes was from the rear, The Overland was also the first car to adopt the four doors now universally used. The car was naned Overland by Charles Minshall then President of the Standard Wheel Works of Terre Haute and the advertising slogan in those days was “The Overland will get you there and back.” Later on the plant was moved to Indianapolis and finally to Toledo, where the gi- gantic factories of the Willys- Overland Company are turning out over 1,000 cars a day. Last month 22,282 cars wer¢ pro- duced by the Willys-Overland’ Com- pany, this being me fargest month’s business in the history of the con- cern. All existing records “were broken for daily production as well as for the first five months’ produc- tion in any past year. During the last three days of the month the plant produced an average of 1066 cars per day.

DAY IN STATE Public Corporations Go On Cash Ba That Day — Method of Change Ex- plained CAN BORROW MONEY County Treasurer Made Cus- todian of all Sinking Funds Under New Law June 30 will be day with counties, cities and school dis triets of North Dakota, for on July 1 they are required to go on 2 cash basis, under house bill No. 129, pass- ed by the last legislature and effec- tive July 1 ©. C. Coverse, state tax commis- sioner, explaining. tne new law in a pamphlet, discusses this phase as follows: “How will counties meet their bills on July 1, 1923? All procedure nec y for the je of certifi- indebtedness must t place after July 1, and necessarily there will be considerable time elapse before the sale n be com pleted, and taxing districts placed on a cash basis as to current ex- pens For this reason, it may be that county boards will deem it necessary to take care of certain current expe befare the cash basis law goes into effect July 1. Otherwise a large amount of cur rent obligations cannot be taken care of until possibly the first of August. Boards may allow and pay such bills as they deem must be tak- en care of on June 30th.” Another question arising is “when has a tax been levied?” The levy must form the basis of the i suance of certifiates of indebted- ness, on which counties may bor- row money in anticipation of tax payments. The tax commissioners hold that “a levy has been made when it has been voted by the t levying board.” Certificates of in- debtedness, therefore, he holds, may be issued immediately after the tax is levied. In the case of a sale of certifi- cates of indebtedness or bonds by any taxing district the sule be advertised if the amount exceeds IKES EASTERN N. D.

Winnipeg, June 18.—At least one person was killed and property dam- age estimated at hundreds of thou- must | & $2,000. This provision of lgw, how- ever, does not apply if the sale is made to the state board of univer- sity and school lands, not to certifi- cates of indebtedness bearing not more than § 1-2 percent interest, not to cities of over 4,000 population or school districts over 4,000 popula- tion. Oral bids are permissible, Under the new law the county treasurer is made custodian of all sinking funds of taxing districts except in cities of over 4,000 popu- lation and treasurers must deliver to the county treasurer — sink- ing funds in their possession on July 1, the tax commissioner holds. Taking the supposition that a dis- trict issued certificates of indebted- ness due in 12 to 18 months and does not have sufficient tax collec- tions to meet them on maturity, the tax commissioner says: “If the amount involved is less than $2,000 and holders of certifi- cates of indebtedness are willing to accept renewal certificates, this course may be adopted. If they are not willing so to do or if the amount exceeds $2,000; the district officers may sell new certificates for the purpose of retiring the old ones. If, however, neither one of these ar- rangements can be accomplished, then the holders of past due certi- ficates of indebtedness have the right to require the county treasur- er to segregate cash collections for the purpose of meeting such certi- ficates.” London, June 18—An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Rome quotes an unconfirmed message re- ceived by the Naples newspapers to the effect that the town of Lin- guaglossa has been destroyed by| lava from Mont Etna.
