Friday, June 5, for an evening stop. The St. Paul boosters, who will re- main here until 10:30 p. m., Friday, will present a big program in this city. Immediately upon their arri- val they will stage a street parade,| headed by the 206th Minnesota Infan-| try band. The parade will be follow- ed by a “kid” party in the Northern Pacific park. Prizes and souvenirs will be given to the children. Carl} L, Anderson, secretary of the St. Paul Chamber of Commerce, who was in Bismarck a few days ago making ar- rangements for the entertainment to be given in this city, made the re- quest that the stores in the city re- main open until 6:30 p. m. on June | 5 as the visitors expect to visit every| mercantile establishment in the city. | Evening Program The evening program will begin with a lecture by Paul W.

A band concert will be given at 8:15 in the park at) the west side of the court house. Selections will be sung by the Gold Medal quartet of St. Paul. i A small army of railroad operating employees have been working for! months in making things ready for this annual excursion ag have busi-} ness houses of Paul and business men in the cities und towns whic! are to be visited. : Every conceivable detail has been taken into consideration and all things worked out*to such a fine! point that those in charge of the trip swear that their special train will remain on time. Watering, coal- ing, switching from railroad to rail- road, assigning of crews and motor power, turning of the train, the meet- ing of other movements, dining car supplies, all these and scores of like items have been carefully figured out. Many Souvenirs New Great Northern equipment has been assigned from the baggage | car, which the boosters are carrying} loaded to the gills with souvenirs for the children, through band car, din- ers and pullmans to the observation car which hag: been fitted with ex- hibits, unique displays of St. Paul features, radio and telephone service, barber shop and baths , Everything possible to increase the comfort on a railway has been made available for these 100 men who are making the train their home for a week. Cities and towns along the itiner- ary are ready toc—especially the children. Unique and individual stunts have been prepared in many of_the cities and towns and plans have been laid to capture the grate-| fulness of the boosters through use of scores: of little pleasantries whici children in some towns and business men in others will render the tour ists when they arrive. y 206th Big Band Coming The 206th Infantry Band has com- pleted months of practice in work- ing out the music repertoire which it will play an 176 marches ini 88 con= certs and children’s song fests. ‘The| children’s song leader for the boost- ers says he has his voice all whittled down to a nice point and he is all ready to meet and play with the kid- |, dies in the cities and towns.

He has a right to his opinion, There 1s no Inten.fon of refusing anyone space in these columny to discuss the pres and cons of the proposed improvements. State Highway engincers, railroad engineers and others are. authority for the statement that a material saving can be made If the state does the work under force account. Whether the saving is $25,000 or €75,000 over Bitulthlc paving is not so material. The Highway com- mnission’s statvment states a material saving can be made, that should be sufficient for Commissioner Swanson. Commissioner Swanson calls attention to the paving around the Cout House. That is not Bitulithie as proposed by the County Board. County Commissioners should examine Bitulithic in front of Post Office on Broadway or the same type of pavement on Main street be- tweon Fourth and Third. That tells the story. * Tho merits of concrete if properly Thld need na defense here. Hizhway statistics prove that it is the best from a cost standpoint and good enough ior traffic on a public highway such as between here and the state prison. North Dakota can well follow the experience oi other states using concrete on its arterlal highways. If lald right 4i will stand and has stod up well. The merity of concrete are too well estabished to need any elaboration here. Ccmmissioner Swanson Can- Highway Commission Gives not See Great Saving in Facts in Reference to State Doing Work Saving on Paving Job Driscoll, N. D., May 28, 1925. Editor Tribune: In answer to your editorial of May 27, which is headed “Delay- ing an Improvement,” I am ask- ing you to publish this letter in your public forum. There has been considerable publishing by you regarding the penitentiary road. The statement has been made, particularly by you, that there would be a saving of $75,000 if concrete is laid instead of black !base and asphaltic top. Where any one gets such figures I cannot understand and. if your $75,000 is correct I will with- draw all my opposition to con- crete. From my personal obser- vation and experience as Country Commissiner to see which: paving is best I have determined that the asphaltic paving is much superior and will cost Burleigh County much less in the long run. I will ask you to inspect, for your own satisfaction, the con- crete on both sides of the Mem- orial bridge and the black paving on the bridge. I will also ask you or any other taxpayer to in- spect the black paving around the court house block and to com- pare it with corcrete of the same age with the same amount of traffic. For my part I am well satisfied, and have been for a long time, that asphaltic pave- ment is the best for heavy tral fic roads. As to price I will give you the bids as submitted to the County In response to a request as to the saving which could be made in the cost of constructing the peniténtiary highway under the the plan outlined by the state highway commission, that body issued the following statement: “A considerable saving can be made in the cost of constructing the penitentiary road provided the plans of this commission are adopted. .The contract bid for bitulithic or black top for this rad is $125,000. .The work can be done for $90,000.00 if concrete paving is employed and the rec- ommendations of the commission followed in this respect. This will make a reduction of $33,- 000,000 in the cést for this item alone. A small saving can also be effected in the cost of engi- neering. Under the plan con- templated by the county the usual ‘engineering charge would be five per cent of the contract price or in round figures about $6,000.00. “Engineering costs, if done under the commission's direc- tion, will run about four per cent, one-half of which will be borne by the federal government and the balance paid from) the state aid fund. This should pro- duce a saving of about $2,500.00. How much may be saved in con- struction costs by the employ- ment of convict labor is difficult of exact statement, but it may be roughly and conservatively said that the reduction should Board: run about, a $100 per day. The fact that the work would be done Gee ene under the immediate and direct ‘Gasca $128,444.89 supervision of the commission's Bictheeaceoak 120,403.69 engineers will insure the very Neciberecugeeciadianie <c best of construction work.” Co, coMNTSSBIOS) | ea a cee ee ee ion 115,409.80 ck Base, 4 Inch Asphaltic Top: Birch and Sons $130,547.82 General Construction CAUSES DEATH Ee Son ener enaeH 129,127.25 Haggart Construction Gente 123,365.10 OF RICH MAN Taking the lowest. bid. for Black and the lowest bid for con- crete, both made by the Hag; Company, there is a difference of $7,955.40. ,That is all the ing that I can figure that will be made if concrete is laid in place of Black paving. I consider and believe that the asphaltic is so much superior that the difference will soon be made up in savings on maintainance and repair costs. Regarding the saving by convict labor I have an idea of my own that it is overrated, but I am of the opinion that the contractor will accept convict labor and give the state proper credit for the samt. _ There was some talk of having. concrete laid and let it on a cost plus basis.

Firemen found Parsons’ body part- ly clothed in the burning drawing room of his home. In the apartment at the time were Mrs. Parsons and plus on the river bridge and when we got through it was too much cost. So I will not approve of such a deal. As a rough esti- mate by one bidder for the cost of concrete he gave $95,000 to $100,000. The sky is the limit to me on that. As to recommen- “dations by engineers I have ne- ver heard one. All they tell us is that both kinds of paving are approved by the Bureau of Fed- eral Roads and I cannot call that recommending any certain kind of paving.

S. (By The Associated Press) Washington, June 1.—Oregon lost in Supreme Court today its fight to compel children to attend public schools. The court held that the state cannot, in enforcing compulsory education laws, require that the child attend public school to the exclusion of private or parochial schools. In educational and religious circles ‘There were heavy down-! keener and wider interest was shown in the attack upon the constitution ality of the Oregon public school law than in any other controversy which reached the Supreme Court in recent years. Law Enacted Like most states, Oregon has a compulsory education law which re- quires children to attend school, and prescribed the course of study. The | right to enforce such regulations has not been seriously questioned in the courts. But in 1922 the voters of Or- | exon, 115,506 to 103,685, went a step further, and enacted a law under which children between the ages of 8 and 16, with some exceptions, would after September, 1926, be required to attend “public” schools. Opponents of this step charged that the law was due to the activity of the Ku Klux Klan. Suits were promptly brought in the federal dis- triet court by the Society of the Sis- ters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, conducting parochial schools, and by the Hill Military Academy, a private school. Enforcement of the law was restrained, and the state ap- pealed to the Supreme Court. Joined in opposittion to the new law eventually were a number of re- ligious organizations, Jewish as well as Christian, and many educational institutions, colleges and universities, as well as private and parochial schools.

MARSHALL NORSE READY TO SEND AID TOAMUNDSEN Arrangements Underway For Prompt Action; Flyers Believed Safe Oslo, Norway, June 1—The fate of Captain Roald Amundsen’s polar ex- pedition still remains clouded in an impenetrable veil, which has hidden the whereabouts of the heroic party since the start for the pole 10 days ago. While the Norwegian govern- ment has not definit ordered the dispatch of relief, arrangements are well under way for prompt action, if at the end of a fortnight, dating from May 21, no word from him reaches his native shore. Public opinion generally remains quietly confident of Amundsen’s abil- ity to overcome both foreseen and unforeseen obstacles and thete is much speculation regarding the pos- sibility of his making a spectacular reappearance remote from where he might be expected after reaching the top of the world. It has even been suggested that Amundsen might try to reach his old schooner Maude, which is somewhere off the New Siberian archipelago, where she is frozen in. Numerous wireless messages have been sent to the Maude the past week, but they have brought no respon This is attributed to the insufficiezcy of she Maude’s wireless equipment to trans- mit over long distances during the polar day. According to the highest authori- ties, Amundsen is mostly likely to make for either Spitzbergen or Cape Columbia, Spitzbergen yesterday re- ported clear weather, with no wind.

(By The Associated Press) Washington, June 1—Thomas R. Marshall, war time vice president of the United States, died here today. He passed away at the Willard Ho- tel where he had been ill for several days with a cold and heart affec- tion. The end came unexpectedly as the former vice president had shown some improvement in the past week. He had been confined to his hotel room and plans had been made to return to his home in Indianapolis some time this week. Accompanied by his wife, Mr. Mar- shall came to Washington a week ago today and on their arrival he went directly to the hotel, complain- ing of complete exhaustion. When physicians were summoned it was found he had suffered from a heart attack. He regained strength grad- ually however and was soon so much better that it was possible for Mrs. Marshall to leave his bedside to at- tend to various personal errands around the Capital. Funeral Plans Tenative plans were made for the burial at Marion, Ind., where his father, mother and a foster child are buried. The latter died only recent- ly. Tentative plans were made to have funeral services in Indianapolis un- der the auspices of the Masonic frat- ernity in which he held high office. Burial will probably be at Marion, in accordance with a desire expressed by Mr. Marshall to ‘rest beside his foster son, who died sometime ago, « Short services will probably be held in Washingtori with President Coolidge find other high officials in , attendance.

Mr. Marshall was born in North Manchester, Wabash county, Indiana March 14, 1854, the only son of Dr. Daniel M. and Martha A. Patterson Marshall. He attended the public schools and his mother had dreams of him becoming a famous preacher but the trials of a circuit rider in those days did not appeal to him and after being graduated from Wa- bash college at Crawfordsville, In- diana at nineteen years, he read law and was admitted to the bar at Col- umbia City, Indiana, upon his twen- ty-first birthday.
