The woman fell asleep in the pastor's stu- dy and was awakened when the min- ister’ returned from the-church.

This is the ice break-up season, it lis pointed out. ‘Therefore, the old residents believe that Amundsen ‘would not attempt to come to the | Alaska coast until the sea ice is gone and the rivers are clear of ice. Amundsen has not inquired about weather or ice conditions in the re- !gion this season, it is averred, A letter from Amundsen to Judge G. J. Lomen, received during the winter, stated that the explorer ex- pected to be in Nome some time this year. This is interpreted here as indicating that if Amundsen were successful in finding a suitable land- ing place near the North Pole, he would establish a supply base in the region with a second plane carrying gasoline and supplies while explor- jing and gaining desired scientific | data. If Amundsen decides to try for Alaska he might be expected at Point Barrow, Wainwright, Kotzebue or Nome, it is believed here. In any case, Amundsen’s acquaintances here do, not expect him to return to Spitzbergen.for a week or two at the earliest, as he would be in no imme- |diate danger at the pole, provided he found a safe place to land on the ice. ‘MYSTERY MAN IS IDENTIFIED AS LOPEZ (By The Associated Press) Minneapolis, May 25.—Arthur Lo- pez-Frazier, who has been trying to prove his identity as a war hero is Arthur Lopez, according to testi- mony given today by his aunt, Mrs. Joanna of San Marco, Tex.

Sorlie returned home Sunday evening from Michigan City, Ind., where he attended the St. Lawrence’ Deepwater Ways confar- ence. Nineteen states were repre- sented at the meeting and their were governors and officials from many states interested in the project. “It is chiefly a matter now,” said Gov. Sorlie, “of getting the New Eng- land states interested. Naturally the people of these states fear that the ,construction of the Duluth to ocean route would injure their ports and divert traffic which they now enjoy. “Of course this is not true. There :is no logical basis for their fear and yoptimism was general at the confer- ence that this could be overcome. “North Dakota and the whole Northwest should be vitally interest- ed in this great project. Wires were received from the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads heart- ily endorsing the project. “There are only 33 miles of actual waterway to be constructed which would place every port on the Great Lakes into direct communication with the seaport. “The construction of the Panama Canal has injured industrial develop- ment in the Northwest. Railroads interested in the development of this section have lost heavily in traffic. The construction of this waterway trial development in this section and afford lower rates and a better mar- ket for the products of the North Dakota soil. “There were nineteen states repre- sented at the hearing. Seven gover- nors and many former governors were present. of Illinois; Former Governor Allen of Kansas, the governor of Indiana, Gov. Harding of Iowa and several others were present. Canada had representatives who predicted enthu- siastic cooperation with the United States in putting this project through. A son of the man who dug the first spadeful of dirt that started the Welland Canal was present. It was a most enthusiastic and profit- able gathering.” Gov. Sorlie made several address- es before the conference and was enabled to put out some excellent advertising for North Dakota. + \ Weather Report | o For 24 hours ending at noon.

Opposition to the use of con- jerete and the employment of convict labor developed at.a conference this morning. Bit- ulithic interest, it is rum: ored, are determined that their style of pavement be used instead of concrete and that it be let by contract to the Haggart Construction company of Fargo, low bid- ders, when bids were firs‘ called for. : Gov. A. G. Sorlie and W. G. Black, secretary of the state highway commission, return- ed from St. Paul Sunday night after a conference with rail- road officials in the Twin Cities. These officials agreed to participate in the plan as joutlined by Gov. Sorlie ana (Mr. Black. The Northern Pa- cific agreed to pay $10,000 and the Soo $7,000. Opposition has developed, it is said, on the part of three commis- sioners on the Burleigh county board. Under the plan sponsored by Gov. Sorlie, his associates on the highway commission, members of the board of administration and the federal {bureau of roads some $50,000 to $75,- 000 can be saved the taxpayers of Burleigh county if convict labor and force account is used instead of the contract plan. In addition to this is the fight between the bitulithic and concrete forces, representatives of whicn are in this city prepared to battle for ithe use of their particular kinds of pavement. It has been intimated very broadly that if convict labor is not used and if concrety is not the type of pave- ment used that there will be no im- provement at all. Under the force account with use of convict labor, the Northern Paci- fic will save $5,000 and the Soo $3,- 000. Taxpayers of the county parti- cipate also in a material saving. The fight, however, centers around the use of the black base or concrete base. Just what action the Burleigh county bosrd will take is problema- Taxpayers of the county want the improvement to start immediate- ly as outlined by the Highway com- mission. Why certain county com- missioners are blocking the deal to save Burleigh county $75,000 to $80,- 000 is a matter of public comment everywhere. The final chapter in, the peniten- tiary road paving tangle will proba- biy be settled late this afternoon when, if the three county commis- sioners stand pat, the whole im- provement may go-into the discard. If the plan as projected by Gov. Sorlie goes through the county will be saved a ten percent engineering fee and other high promotion costs. This has set some interests against the plan who see a fat fee, of some $12,500 slipping if the road is paved by force account.
