The opening of the camp was auspicious in. view of the fact that the day is the first in 13 that it has not rained, and because of the rain the grass, which was sown early in the season, is now well up. This. is something new to’ the guardsmen at- tending camp here. TATE AUDITOR PLANS TO HALT JOY RIDERS Members of the state highway com- mission who use gasoline for per- sonal trips but paid for by the state are being made the object of a drive by State Auditor Steen who would check accurately the mileage and gasoline consumed in trips made by state employees. Gasoline coupon. books are “issued by the state highway department to persons using state automobiles and a report is made to the equipment department of the gasoline so used. Mr. Steen’s proposal is that cou-. pons be discontinued and that em- ployees pay cash for gasoline and to make an accounting as to the time and place that gasoline was _pur- chased, together with the mileage consumed. This proposal will be considered at the next meeting of the auditing board. STATE AUTO .

Prior to this time all tests of road and bridge materials employed in the construction of federal aid and state highway projects were made by the Bureau of, Public Roads of the De-! t partment of Agriculture at Washing- ton, D.C. But, as the work became too heavy for that bureau, the vari- ous state highway commissions were notified that each would have to test its own, state materials in the future. The North Dakota laboratory, which is now in charge of P. M. Hegdol, not only cooperates with the Bureau of Publie Roads but also with the high- 1y commissions of other states to insure the latest and best methods of ing the various tests. | and is tested by the highway | laboratory for its grading and if too| or if it contains too much shale vegetable matter it is rejected.

Need Higher Rates “Iam satisfied that northwest rail- roads are in need of revision upward in their freight rateStructures,” Mr Alfred said. “It is unfortunate that roads serving Minnesota and her neighboring states should be linked with the western and southwestern groups, which are making splendid pi! financial showings.

Th cost of mov- cost of the s been under- figure of $750,000 000 is too low and private concerns have estimated that that sum would be needed to improve the channel merely to Montreal. “From the viewpoint of loyalty to our own people, what would it mean to open up our inland waterways to world navigation’ by ships owned and manned by foreigners, whose crews work for half as much as American on the Great Lakes?” The waterway project would be in opposition to the economy program of President Coolidge, in the opin- ion of Mr. Alfred. he nation can- not hope ot cast off its yoke of tax- ation, if the government debt con- m n- ty, rs sailors tinues to pile up, he said.

MOTORING COST LESS IN SUMMER THAN IN WINTER “Between now and - Thankegiving, over three-quarters of the annual mileage will be turned up on the family car,” says W. E. Lahr of the Lahr Motor land distributor. “The man who buys a car this summer will own it at the particular time when he will use it most. In other words, his cost of motoring per mi will be just about half what it will be in winter days when the car is used only occasionally. “It is also true that the r ments of the motorists are far er during the next six months, and more than ever does the car owner appreciate the value of local dealer responsibility for the car he buys.” FLAG DAY IS Sales Co., Willys-Over- | OBSERVED WITH | BAND CONCERT Bismarck observed Flag Day Sun- Jay with a patriotic concert in Cus- ter park in which the Elks band made its first public appearance of the summer season.
