On September 29th the Commis- sion approved Findings of Facts and Conclusions and issued its order in the matter of the investigation, up- ‘on its own motion, {nto the rates and charges of the Northern States Power Company, Minot Division. The | value of all the Utility's property adjacent to Minot was determined but only the rates in the City of Minot were cont red, other rates not being involved. The opinion discusses the law per- taining to valuation and the Com- mission holds that in the light of recent decisions of the Supreme; Court of the United States, repro- duction cost is an important element that must be given consideration. The general lighting rates were re- duced one cent per’ KWH, which gives consu' of Minot the same lighting rate now in effect in _. Grand Forks, The street lighting .rate of approximately 4 1-2 cents per KWH was left as at present, premeny ‘this rate is barely equivalent ‘to. the production‘cost. The steam and telephone rates now 4n bers coming from the Taft seems very happy about Le REY.

Me and several others of the German industrial groun have arranged for 4 conference with General Degoutt French commander in the Ruhr, this, afternoon.

Berlin, Oct. 5.—The -German De: moctatic party in| the Reichstag to- day adopted a resolution declaring that the party could not support: a government which had no par mentary basis. As a majority of all the. other parties have adopted the same view it is not beti-vec that Charcetlor Stresemann will not at- tempt to form a cabinet without support of the pagiiamentary: parties.

This information is the result of researches made by two leading Stockholm newspapers on the occa- ion of reporting the lowest amount |of unemployment during two and a half years, the figures now being on- ly 20,000 as against 163,000 in Feb- ruary, 1922, Practically all of the ilarge funds expended have been for constructive! relief work, while stead- ily decreasing sums have been set aside direct’ subventién, ‘At 7 for present. only about 150 persons are receiving unemployment doles. ATTENDANCE AT OPERA IS ON DECLINE Fine Opera.House in S. A. Does Not Attract Best of American Artists a FRENCH WINES RETURN TO BERLIN CAFES “Passive Resistance” May Die Natural] Death; Signs Against French Disappear Buenos Aires, Oct. 5—This city possesses one of the finest opera houses in the world, the Colon. Of recent years the attendance has de- creased steadily until today the man- agement is confronted with serious financial difficulties. Various arguments have been ad- vanced to account for this condition, the local business depression and a change in the public taste since the war—but the most popular answer is that the United States is making opera too expensive for the rest of the world. America attracts the+best artists with high salaries, and even in the summer time, it is salleged, famous singers make much money from con- cert. tours and working for phono- graph companies. *Hence they have ro inclination to come to South America. Berlin, Oct. 5—There is reason to believe that “passive resistance,” unless constantly fed with new fuel Jo keep it alive, will, in the course of time, die a natural death. Such seems to be the case in Bor- lin, French wines, which were boycot- ted after the occupation of the Ruhr last January, now are offered in whispers to known patrons at some of the first class Berlin hotels, ana are displayed,in show windows of down town wine stores. Even French cognac {s served, provided it is asked for quietly, at many of the bars patronized, by foreigners. The sign “No French br Belgians served here,” which appeared like magic over all Berlin almost as soon as the French troops set foot in Es- sen, have disgppeared t from most first class cafes and restaurants. They are, however, still displayed prom- inently at many of the shops in the suburbs and in the beer halls where the patrons are chiefly Germans, OFFICIALS VISIT MINE AT WILTON j Governor R. A.

The specific purpose of this leg- islation is to prevent the possible tise of Haiti by German firms as a base for the distribution of narco- ties. Previopsly there was no law of any desctiption bearing on the narcotic problem and Germany, not being a signatory to te Opium Cor vention, was steadily increasing imports of such substances, TI passage ‘of the act has made Haiti eligible as a signatory to this con: vention.
