Banquet to Legislators and New Governor Establishment of a radio broad-j casting station in the state capital is suggested by A. G. Sorlie, Gover-| nor-elect, as a means of spreading in- formation concerning the resources of North Dakota. Mr. Sorlie voiced! his suggestion at a banquet given in the McKenzie hotel last night in honor of himself, newly elected state officials and the Burleigh county leg- islative ticket. Two hundred and seventy-five people were present. “We have been talking at a inttle conference here about what a fine thing it would be to have a radio s tion here.” said Mr. Sorlie. could tel! the people in other parts er we have been having her the sunshine, and other things offici 1 others coulll give and tell other people a lot North Dakota that they do not know —could probably tell a lot of gs you don’t know. ent on to say through means of « radio station in- formation could be dispensed as to coal and clay deposits, the growth of bee-keeping as an industry and scores of other, accomplishments of the state. He thought that people! would come to know North’ Dakota and North Dakota people better through this means. Ziven By Club Federation The banquet, which was under the} ces of the Burleigh county unit tisan Women’s Clubs, was arranged as a community gath ing, with politics barred from di cussion, the toasiuaster announced. Those present were of varying poli- tical faiths. . Mrs. Irene Charlebois, president of the club, who arranged the banquet said that it was in the nature of an} indoor picnic, or community gather- ing, and that the Burleigh County Federation of Women’s Nonpatti- sans Clubs was happy to extend “to Governor Sorlie and other state of-; ficials a welcome to our beautiful! Charlebois introduced C. L.) Crum as toastmaster of the evening,, who praised the federation for ar- ranging the banquet. He introduced Mrs. Thomas C. Lauder, who gave a welcome address to the new officials and the Burleigh county legislative ticket, wishing them success in carry- ing out mandate of the people. Obert A. Olson, Senator-elect, and John Jacobson, representative-elect, responded for the legislative ticket. Both declared they believed the ban- quet meant much in fostering a spirit of unity, which will prevail from now on. County Praised H. A. Thomas of Driscoll, was in- troduced to give a toast to “Our County.” Mr. Thomas gave a few statistical facts regarding Burleigh county telling of the organization of ' i Here is how H. R. Bismarck in 1872 and in the county in 1873. He sketched the transition from a raw prairie to a stock raising county and now to one of the leading diversifieq farming counties in the state. Mr. Thomas pointed out that Burleigh county last year was one of six counties in the state producing more corn than wheat, He mentioned extensive mining interests of the county which, he said, still are in their infancy. Mr. Thomas asked that strife and bickering between farmers and busi- ness men cease, saying that “it is time to get together and work for a bigger and better Burleigh county. Governor-elect Sorlie, in beginning his toast, declared that “a gathering of this kind is planting the seeds of good fellowship and cooperation throughout the state.” He gave high praise to the women who arranged the winner. “I will not talk politics--I don’t know how,” said the Governor-elect.” He urged a get-together spirit that “we may know our own selves, our state, our neighbors, know what we want. When we get together and co- operate on this basis we won't have this strife. When the word spreads out over the state that the people of Bismarck got together with the newly elected state officials and represen- tatives, we all will begin getting to- gether.” Chief Justice Talks Chief Red Tomahawk of Standing Rock Reser n, Who came to the banquet dressed in his war paint and ceremonial skins with George Tract, interpreter and a Gun, spoke, He dwelt on the time when the buffalo roamed over the country, and how he and others lived on the buffalo, deer and elk. His talk gave a strong con- trast to the minds of those present at the banquet, of the progress the state had made in a little more than a half a century. Chief Justice H. A. Bronson of the supreme court, who retires soon after six years on the bench, gave a short farewell talk. Judge Bronson told those present that he was soon going (Continued om page 3) H. the This picture of him we York in just 20 minutes tes Prince of nt last ADVOCATED BY PRES.

State Rested Abruptly The state rested abruptly after the morning hours had been occupied with the final testimony of Holta to- gether with that of Henry Engelter, New Salem undertaker, W. EF, Perry, Bismarck undertaken; Emil Bobb, employed by Perry; Henry Ditto, driver for Shortridge; Dr. E. F. Bell, pathologist at the university of Min- nesota, Dr. F, B. Strauss of Bismarck and Chester Parks, Bismarck taxi driver. Shortridge took the stand in his own defense immediately after the noon recess. He told the jury that he was 57 years of age and that for the past 18 years had lived at Flash- er where he practiced medicine and operated a hospital in connection with his professional duties. Witness said that he was a graduate of the Keokuk, Iowa Medical college and was licensed to practice in this state in 1906. He is married and has two children. Witness said that he had known Freda since 1917 or 1918 when she came to Flasher to work as a tele- phone girl, About 7 o'clock on the evening of February 25, 1924, she came to his hospital in Flasher, sought his consultation and sobbed out her story. Her tale ended with a pitiful plea for medical aid to assuage her phy- 1 pain and the mental torture ing from her condition, Two hours later, the witness said, he made a thorough physical examination and made her as comfortable as he could for the night. Early the next morn- ing he saw her again and spent an hour or more in the room observing her case. At the time she appeared much relieved bodily although she expressed great alarm concerning her condition. Once again as the weary forenoon wore away he called again and administered treatment. During the afternoon he spent much time at her bedside. In the early evening he observed an wlarm- ing change in her condition and al- though he worked frantically in an effort to save her life she gradually weakened, Death came at 11 o'clock the night of February 26, the witness said. Much of the defendant's testi- mony was unprintable. Diagnosed As Influenza When questioned as to his exper- (Continued on page 8) IN SPURNS W PROSPERITY IN | COUNTRY SEES BY MR.

The lifting of the tax burden, | though slight as the decrease has | been, has done much for business, ! Mr. Mellon said, and he expressed | the hope that more could be anal soon. He said ‘he desired tax re-} form well as tax reduction and! warned against using the field of taxation as a field “for socialistic experiment or as a club to punish success.” If this were done, he said, the conditions of a few years ago may .come back. | In Sound Position “While it has taken time for this it- situation completely to remedy self,” the secretary continued, “the adjustment has now been made, and both banking and business conditions are in # thoroughly sound position. Prices have been comparatively sta- ble for two or three years, produc- tion has increased twenty or twenty- five percent, bank debts, fifteen or twenty per cent, and employment eight or ten percent. Interest and discount rates, as a rule, have been reduced more than half. Discount rates of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for example, have been reduced from seven and one half to three and one half percent. Bank deposits have increased six or cight billion dollars from the low point of 1921, or over twenty percent. “At the same time reserves are unusually high, frozen loans have been almost completely liquidated and the country’s banking and credit structure was never in a stronger position and more able to support continued business industrial expansion.

Agriculture Stronger “While recovery of agriculture has been slow, it has been substan- tial and today due largely to chan ing conditions in world crops and world markets, faces a new era. The maladjustment between agriculture and other industries has been remov- ed, and the farmer is nearly restored tc his proper status in the economic system.” But American commerce and in- dustry must maintain an anchor to the windward in future world trade, the Secretary said, for, as America has recovered, so now Europe is be- coming stabilized. Mr. Mellon gave credit to the Dawes reparation plan as providing a foundation of eto- nomic recovery th While declar- ing improved conditions in Europe meant benefits to the United States, Mir Mellon argued that cheaper pro- duction and lower living standards abroad would force closer calculation here in world market eeing, The population of Bumania has increased by 600,000 since 1922, bringing it to 29,000,000, a “FIRE ¢ NORTH DAKOTA, THURSD: AY, ‘DECEMBER. 1, snd best picture ter a comedian ypaline, nezr of town of E moo, on ren BRIDGE BL OWN | UP IN CHINA Hankow, China, Dec. 4 (By the P.)
