WEATHER FORECASTS For Bismarck and vicinity: Part- ly cloudy tonight and Thursday. ESTABLISHED 1873 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE [abi BISMARC K, NORTH DAKOTA, WED DAY SEPTEMBER 17, 1924 PRICE FIVE CENTS BODIES OF 21 MINERS ARE RECOVERED ow |/ANNUALFIGHT |CHINESE CIVIL WHERE BOND LEVIES FOR ‘PROGRAM NEAR MILLION State Taxpayers Must Provide Money For Retirement of State Bonds e BILL GROWS RAPIDLY Levies Must Be Made By State Board of Equalization For Various Issues - North Dakota’s industrial program interest bill, which must be met largely by taxation, is growing rap- idly. Indications are that the state board of equalization will be forced to levy taxes of approximately $1,- 000,000 this year to meet interest and principal upon Bank of North Dakota, mill and elevator and real estate bonds. The amount to be levied for this purpose, it is indicated, will ap- proach half the entire amount of the general fund levied for running the various departments of state LEOPOLD STUDIES N Nathan F.

The levy will be made by the state board of equalization in the near future. For the first time since the in- dustrial program was launched, the state faces the prospect of having to levy taxes to meet the principal upon bonds which were issued for it. The industrial program laws provide that where profits from the state industries are not sufficient to establish a sinking fund to meet the bond principal payments, one- fifth of the total shall be levied on each of five years béfore the bonds become due. One million dollars of the Bank of North Dukota bonds will mature in 1929, the amount being one-half of the bonds issued to provide cap- ital stock for the bank. Since the bank shows no profit, under the law one-fifth of this should be levied, beginning this fall. In addition to the $200,000 which would be levied for the principal of the bonds, the state board of equalization will be called upon to levy $100,000 to meet the interest on the bonds for the year. No principal payment will be due on the bonds issued for the con- struction of the state-owned mill and elevator at Grand Forks but $500,000 of mill operating bonds ma- ture in 1928 and 1929, and since the mill shows no profit, it is expected the state board will find it neces- sary, under the law, to levy $100,000, or one-fifth of the total. One year’s interest on the $3,000,- 000 of bonds issued for the construc- tion of the mill and_ elevator, amounts to $172,000, and a tax levy will have to be made for this amount. There will be necessary a levy of $57,500 on the mill operating bonds. The amount of the tax levy to meet interest on real estate bonds due during the year is largely prob- lematical at this time, since there will be some interest payments from persons who borrowed money through farm loans. There will be some levy needed, it appears. There will be no principal payment levy requirement, since no farm loan bonds’ mature in the next five years. ' Because all taxes are not levied, it is the regular practice of the state board to levy more than is actually needed. The entire amount that may be levied, including the levy to meet interest on real estate bonds, is held likely to be around a million dollars. The levy for the state general fund . last year was $2,516,464.76. CORN SHOW TO BE EARLIER Wilt Be Held in November, Committee Decides The second annual North Dakota Corn Show will be held in Bismarck on November 12, 18, 14 and 165, in- stead of in Deceniber, as at first planned, it was announced today by George F. Will, chairman of the corn show committee. The dates were advanced to permit prize win- ning exhibits to be sent to the In- ternational Hay, Grain and Corn Show in Chicago. Chairman Will informed the Corn Show committee that theré is oppor- tunity for very fine displays this year. With fair weather in the next week or two, many localities will have better corn than last year, he said. A large part of the corn in this section may yet mature, even should the temperature fall to 25 above, he said. At the present time, Burleigh and Emmons counties have the best corn in the state, he de- , clared.

FIRED FORESTS LAD CONFESSES Desire to Win Admiration for Discovering Them, Cause. wired M superintendent of tion, from his Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 17.—Fired {with a desire to win admiration for {his daring in discovering and fight- {ing forest fires, Alva Smith, 16, grandson of a veteran forest ranger ‘in the Boulder park area here, set jalmost all of the series of fires iwhich have destroyed acres of tim- jber in the region in the last fort- jnight, according to a confession ‘which federal, and (stata officials ‘announced they obtained from the lad. Smith rode to his grandfather's cabin yesterday morning with a bullet wound in his left thigh and declared that he had discovered a fire on his way to school? He jump- ed from his horse, he said, and was engaged in putting it out when a mysterious stranger rode up and shot him without warning. Robert Duthie, forest supervisor, and State’s Attorney Parker ques- tioned the lad after doctors had ex- amined the wound and declared that it was obviously self inflicted. The boy admitted, officials said, that he set all but two of the series of dis- astrous fires which have done heavy damage to the valuable timberland of the region since September 1, and which became so serious,a week ago that soldiers from Fort Meade and townspeople from Deadwood and other Black Hills cities were sum- moned to the aid of the hundred or more fire fighters. Mr. Duthie is at- ‘tempting to establish the boy’s con- nection with two fires in the region whose origin still is ynexplained.

NEW ORDER T0 SPEED FREIGHT CARS IS HIT Grain Shipments Plan of Regional Advisory Board Is Complained of MEANS’ PRICE LOSS” Minneapolis, Sept. 17.—(By the A. P.)—The new order affecting grain} shipments, originating in the North-! west Regional Advisory Board of the American Railway Association, which | abolishes reconsignments or diver-| sion of grain at sampling stations, is| protested in a statement issued to-| day by the American Wheat Growers! Associated, Inc., a farmers’ market- ing agency, with headquarters here. | The order was declared by the} joint terminal grain committee of| the board, which framed it, to be in the interest of maintaining an ade- quate supply of cars at shipping points for the movement of this year’s crop. Under the old order of things, shippers billed cars to the sampling point where they were held until] further orders. From. these’ places they have been sent on to the chief terminal markets, Minneapolis or Duluth. The reconsignment of cars was carried out, it was explained, that in order after grain was sampled, grain could be sent on to terminals at which the best price could be ob- tained, The new ruling makes it necessary for cars to. be billed through from point of shipment to one of the two chief terminals. “A loss of several cents a bushel on a large part of the grain shipped to market in Minnesota is to be suf- fered by grain- growers and s| pers in the Northwest, because of the new ruling,” declared William J.

Last estimates available from un- official sources placed the number of men still in the mine at 18, though some figures were higher. Twelve men escaped alive last night. The company which owns the mine has given out very little informa- tion for publication, explaining that all of it must be verified before it is issued. Resounding Roar A resounding roar that reverberat- ed throughout the little mining camp nestling in the mountains, broke through the sound of crashing thun- der at 11:45 o'clock yesterday and brought to Sublet, its first great mining disaster. As the sound of the terrific explosion died out, residents of the little community of 500 per- sons, started an exodus from their hpmes through a blinding rain storm the mouth of Mine No. 5, a draft ine, there to claini their dead. Within an hour so many residents of the camp had congregated around the main portal of the tunnel that it was with difficulty that workmen and rescue crews were able to make their way to start the work of res- cue. Highway Jammed News of the disaster was sent to Kemmerer and the main winding lit- tle mountain highway soon became congested with automobiles and per- sons on foot all on their way to the ne of the explosion. Reseue crews from the mines in ‘the adja- cent territory, many of them owned and operated by the Kemmerer Coal company and others by the Union Pacific Railroad company, were quickly formed and started on their way to the mine. The rain continued to fall in vir- tual torrents.
