WEATHER CONDITIONS The low pressure area over the Plains States and southern’ Rocky Mountain states yesterday morning has moved northeastward to the ‘Great Lakes regioh and precipitation occurred from the Great Lakes re- gion westward’ to the northern Roc- 4 ky Mountain region, The weather is generally fair over the South. Warm weather prevails over the middle and lower Miasissippi Valley, but a large high presadre area centered faction of these attorneys that ‘the 20 years limit applied to the articles of incorporation of a private corpor- ation and not to franchises. In his opinion, franchises might be granted for twenty-five years or even fifty years. The commission however could not grant an exclusive fran- chise. Commissioner Thompson who believed that the franchise should run for twenty-five years emphasized this point by stating that if a proper appjicant appeared at the next meet- ing of the city commission and all legal requirements had been met, the city commission could grant another electric franchise at that meeting. Twenty-five Year Term Necessary In advocating that no change be made in the life of the franchise Attorney Cox said that the reason the Hughes Company desired a twen- ty-five year term was based largely on findneial grounds, and that the shorter term would seriously inter- fere with its program for improve- ments. His Company contemplated making about $100,000.00 of improv ments to the existing plant, and in order to do this it would be obliged to sell bonds. Such bonds usually were made payable in periods of five years, thus five, ten fifteen or twen- ty years. No bond attorney would pass a bond issue for eighteen years, nor would a bond company buy or jsell such securities, terming them, |“Outlaw securities.” Hence, if the franchise were limited to twenty years and his company were to offer 20 year bonds, the franchise would expire before the bonds matured. Also, that long term bonds sold at a better rate than short-lived ones. Commissioner Thompson pointed out that twenty-five years was but five years longer than 20 years, and in view of the desire of the Hughes Company to make large outlays, the elty commission should keep the life of the franchise as originally framed. He also called attention to the fact that the franchise had been publish- ed as provided ‘by law and that no citizen appeared to object ‘to its terms and consequently the public seemed to be satisfied with its pro- over the northeastern Rocky Moun- tain slope is causing high winde and falling temperature over the upper Mississippi _ Nass and northern over the northern Rocky , Md: region. visions.

The moderate weather of last week led to many forecasts of an early spring by am- ateur prophets, but these are dis- counted by Professor H. E. Simp son, in charge of the U. S. Weather Observatory at the University of North Dakota. Records in the hands of Professor Simpson show that for the last 32 years, there has been an average snowfall of $2 inches each winter whereas only 10.4 inches has fallen this year. Other figures showing likelihood of further storms give the average snowfall for March and April, which totals 8 inches. Only traces have been noted thus far. The earliest terminating storm for: the winter season in the 32 years has been March 7, and the latest record- ed is May 17, while the average date for the final snow storm of the year is April 9. The regular monthly report for February, which has just been,com- pleted by Professor Simpson, shows the maximum temperature for the month 'to have been 50, while the minimum. was 32, Only 3.3 inches of snow fell during the month. There was a total of 13 clear days. New York, March 10.—The pasty face of a gray haired man is the principal clue police have to the lat- est of the theories of jewel robber- ies perpetrated upon’ women who frequent the cakarets of Broadway.

MAY UNITE COW CIRCUITS Consolidation For Testing Purposes Is Proposed The Burleigh County Cow Testing Association, at its meeting at the Association of Commerce headquar- ters here last Saturday afternoon discussed the movement now under consideration for uniting the Flash- er, Mandan and Burleigh County circuits so far as the testing service is’ concerned. Albert Zenzel, who has been test- er on tthe Burleigh County circuit for ‘the past two years, has been forced to return to Wisconsin to care for his farming interests, which leaves the circuit without a tester at present. Officers of the Burleigh Association ere now in touch , with the Agricultural College and expect to have a tester available shortly. Of its circuit membership of four- teen, the following were prefent at Saturday’s meeting: Frank Splon- skoski, Braddock; E, Savelle, Brad- dock; P, M. Gosney, Sterling; H. T. Crum, McKenzie; Francis Strong, State Penitentiary; John Schneider, Bismarck; Louis Garski, president, Bismarck; R.

Her head had been crushed by several blows from an axe. In an- othér room they found the body of Joseph A. Tremblay, hanging with a piece of wire about his neck. Tremblay was a boarder in the Roberg home,‘and, according to po- lice, had been drinking steadily for the past week. Mrs. Roberg was separated from her husband, GIVEN PARDON SO HE CAN GET WORK ON FARM) Reinwald Kaeding of Bottineau, serving @ two-year term in the state prison on a liquor charge, was given @ pardon today so, that he may get a job on the farm. The pardon board, in an emergency meeting, was in- formed in a petition by his mother, who is 68 years old, that if Kaeding served his term, which would, end May 2, he would be unable to-secure long-time employment on a farm, but if released at this time he jmay obtain such employment. Before the war Germany gave much for foreign mi al other continental countries com- Sa but. in 1923 she gave only one- hundredth of the tof i contributed. Sir Wallis described Seneseru as being “geneologically a nobody, who came from nowhere.” He probably came from Northern Italy, the scientist added, certainly he was not an Egyptian and none of the really great kings of Egypt were of Egyp- tian nationality. Seneseru, one of the greatest of them, was the first sovereign, who, so far as known, at- tempted to make a colonial empire for Egypt, as his expedition to Sinai and the Sudan show. Also he gained control of the Red Sea and built a fleet to navigate the Mediterranean. There are records of part of this fleet taking cedar wood from Leba- non to Egypt. Built Monument Seneseru built the monument com- monly known as the pyramids of Me- dum. His wife was Merit Tess, who when widowed received honorable protection from the succeeding phar- aohs Cheops and Chepren, Dr. Alan Gardiner, another noted Egyptologist, although greatly interested in the discovery which he believes will prove vastly important, doubts whether the tomb penetrated is ac- tually that of Seneseru. That Pharaoh, he said, built two pyramids neither of wl is at Giza and his body was most likely laid in one of these, probably the pyramid of Medum, To Play Annual Intramural Game Series This Week Grand Forks, N. D., March 10.— Winners in the major and minor basketball leagues in the annual in- tramural games of the University of North Dakota will clash in the final three-game series for the campus championship the latter part of this week, Grant Nelson, chairman of the campus league board, announces, Alpha Tau Omega and Kappa Psi Beta teams, winners of the two ‘leagues respectively, will compete for theefinal honors. Each year on the University cam- pus from twelve to sixteen basket- ball teams divided into two leagues play through a tournament which extends all through the winter sea- son, the winners of the two leagues to clash in a final series. The eham- pionship team the facts no matter what they are nor whom it hits. That is what the Association of Commerce wants and that is what it will get from me, if this commission is going to make a report of any kind on the water de- partment. I claim that statement does not give all the facts, Besides, I thought the commission was sup- posed to make the report and not some member of it.” Takes the Responsibility President Lenhart contended that the report was to be made by him as President and not by the cit; mission as a body. Commi: Thompson took i that point and sait “Don’t you remember that when we got this letter from the Association, City Auditor Atkinson asked if he should make the report and trans- mit it to the Association and you in- structed him to make it to the Com- Commissioners French and Larson then came to President Lenhart’s aid and disagreed with Commissioner Thompson, which resulted in an ap- peal to the official Proceeding! This “City auditor was instructed to Prepare for the President of the Board a statement covering the in- formation asked for.” The words, “for the President of the Board” are interlined as a cor- rection. Commissioner Thompson still was obdurate that the city com- mission was ed by th tion of Commerce to m: port and not its president, and this brought a request for the original communication of the commercial or- ganization, Not In Files Auditor Atkinson stated that it was not in his files but in the pos- session of city attorney Young. Commissioner Thompson then re- newed his motion for a copy of the statement for each commissioner s¢ that each might learn what it con- tained. President Lenhart wanted'to know what was wrong with the port, whereupon. Commipsienet Thompson " said the very last sae it graph read is not correct claims that the large supply awarded a sreene ane
