Mr. Graham then. went “into ques- tioning as to whether Mr. Black had checked up cross section work made by J. N. Roherty, who had been on the witness stand. He said they talked it over. Mr. Black said that figures were presented to the board of arbitration by his department on Section A of thé Richland county project but none on Section B, saying this was com- pleted before his time, Figures Incorrect C. E. Lounsbury, assistant counsel, read figures and asserted that on the basis of Mr. Roherty’s computations there was an unwarranted increase in the estimates allowed Twitchell. Mr. Black. refused to comment on Ro- herty’s testimony until he had had an opportunity to examine it, but said that Mr. Roherty, testifying under oath, doubtless had given the, committee correct figures, He said that he was not certain of the basis of computation referred to by Mr. Lounsbury, and said the totals ap- peared to be the same. Mr. Black was asked about en- gineering cost on the road, which he said was $5,090.02, in addition to the preljminary surveys made originally. “You stated you do all of your own surveys you can?” Mr, Graham asked, “Yes.” t “Did you ever have any of your augers ask to make preliminary sufveys, saying they had the time to do it?” 7 “No.” Valley City Farm Worker; Takes His Life Valley City, N. D., Feb. 24.—After going upstairs in the barn and: fill- | ing the stock mangers with hay Sun- day afternoon, Carl J. Nelson, 30, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Nelson, farmers residing seven miles north of the city, ended his life by shoot- in himself through the head with a 32 caliber revolver. When he failed to appear at the house after leaving, some members of the family are said to have gone to the barn but heard him working upstairs and paid no more attention ! to him until a neighbor boy who was, visiting at the Nelson home Sunday, went into the hayloft and found Nel- son sprawled on the floor with a ‘bullet hole through his head and the revolver lying near his right hand. He immediately notified those in the house who in turn called Coroner Martin Somdahl and Deputy Sheriff Fred King. Upon investigating, the coroner stated that mo inquest would be nec- essary for reason that everything pointed to a clear case of suicide. Nelson is said to have acted queer for sometime and it is believed that poor health prompted him to take his life. ; Boys Held For Illegal Trapping Carson, .N.

Post, to raise funds to help énter- tain the state convention. ‘The Jamestown cast of 24 ‘arrived ! this noon, and members will’ be en- tertained in homes of ex-service men and others. The scene of “Inside the Lines” is laid at Gibraltar, after the war broke out in 1914, and deals with the efforts of Americans to get home.

Grant County ing law which was drawn so as to avoid the provisions of the present law which have been challenged in the federal courts was likewise in- definitely postponed, Amend Bills Important amendments were made to two bills, In S, B. 181, which provides for a gross earnings tax for bus lines operating in the state, the tax rate was lowered from the per cent, fixed in the original to five! per cent. Likewise in Senator Ingerson’s S. B. 290, which requires banks to place a portion of their profits in their surplus funds instead of using them as dividends the amount thus i lrequired to be set aside was made one quarter of such annual profits instead of one half as was provided |for in the original draft of the bill. Senator Ingerson withdrew S. B. 71, the bill he introduced early in the'-session to limit the borrowing power of banks. The place of this measure has been taken by S. B. 210, introduced jointly by Senators In- gerson and Page, which is now on the calendar, and which is a com- promise measure. When the senate recessed yester- day afternoon only seven bills still remained in committee, and it was expected that reports on these would be ready when the senate should convene again at 10 o'clock this morning.

Leaguers sought to postpone action until afternoon, be- cause ‘some members were absent. A call of the House was then moved, and a call was sent to several Non- partisans, absent downtown at the Highway investigation or other pla- ces, in order to rally votes to put the measure over. There was brief de- bate on it when it came up in com- mittee of the whole. “We had a bill in two years ago to change one or two districts and it was charged it was pretty raw,” said Rep. Twichell, Independent leader. “This looks to me like’a pretty raw bill. This bill leaves the Independ- ents all told 12 Senators out of 49. It is an attempt to legislate a party out of office.” Says It Ie Fair Rep. Roberts, Nonpartisan, who in- troduced the measure, said it was worked out on a population basis, and if it would legislate a party out of office it should be, since it was March 6, the Agricultural Securities corpora- the ordinance published in full.

Speaker B, C.
