BIDS ON DRAKE MILL ARE HELD T0 BE TOO LOW. Kitchen Moves Acceptance of $2,000 Offer, But Motion Fails of a Second Dividing on the question of the value of the property, the state in- dustrial commission failed to sell the state-owned mill and elevator at Drake. After three months of advertis- ing three bids were received. Two were for $2,000 each and one for $1,000. The state paid about $25;- 000 "for the property ‘» 1°19, J. A. Kitchen, commissioner of agriculture and labor, moved to ac- cept the bid of C. M. Burch and company of Drake, which offered $1,500 for the buildirg and $500 for the machinery. The Great Northern Flour Manuf:..turing com- pany of St. Cloud offered $2,000 for the property «s it stands. E. P. Moorehead of Anamoose was the third bidder. Kitchen’s motion to sell the prop- erty failed .o: want of a second. To Dismiss Watchman The commission then decided to dispense with. the services of the .wachman at a salary of ‘$90 a month under an arrangement whereby the state mill and elevator association , will provide watchman and care- taxes service. The prope ‘tv now is as a distributing warehouse fer flour atie et the state-owned rail at Grand Forks. It also was gree? to reduce the insurance car- ted 0 on the procerty wher the policy now in force exnire . Kitchen expressed regret that other me bere of the board would not support his motion. ‘I think this a fine bid and that we are mak- ing a mistake ot to accept it,” he told Governor Sorlie and Attorney General Shafer the other ‘wo mem- 8. “Here I went up Drake and stirred | BP. the people there to get them to make a bid for this mill ard now we turn it down.

REDUCTION IN TAXES SOUGHT ON ADDITIONS: Change in Rate Used Jumps Taxes More Than 100 Per Cent Over Year Ago Requesting that Van Eps addition and Capital Hill addition to Bismarck be assessed at the Hay Creek rate instead of the city of Bismarck rate, George M. Register appeared before the city commission Monday night | to protest the doubling of the taxes on this property during the last year. The additions are a mile north and west of the capitol. Until this year. Mr. Register said, this property had been assessed aty the Hay Creek rate, but for some reason a change was made this year and it was given the city rate. Taxes on the Van Eps addition, whichgcom- prises about 80 acres, were $51.87 in 1925, while for 1926 under the change the taxes are $114.03. For. the Capital Hill addition, about 75 acres, the 1925 taxes were $78.75 while for 1926 they are $159.35. No improvements have ever been made on the lots, since they are so far re- moved from the city, and they are used as acre property, for farming and grazing purpos To Apply for Abatement It was pointed out to Mr. Regis- ter that inasmuch as the property lies within the city limits it would be impossible to assess it under the Hay Creek rate, even though this had been done in the past through error, and he was advised to make application for reduced valuation on the property so that the taxes will thus be lowered to about the same amount as they would be under the Hay Creek rate. Mr. Register also renewed his of- fer, made several 'months ago, to re- deem the residence property at the corner of Thayer avenue and First! street for $900 and pay the 1927 taxes. This property was sold for faxes. some time ago. No action was af the commission on the ae however, since the com- missioners insist on $1,000 instead of $900. Will Close Street H. O. Saxvik, superintendent of| schools, requested the commission to reenact a resolution ‘passed ‘some years ago giving the school author- ities rmission to close off the north half of Fifth street between Thayer and Rosser avenues at cer-| tain hours of the day so that pupils of the Will school will have more space in which to play. The com- mission readily street will Be closed from 8 to 9 a. m,, 12 to 1.30 p. m., and 3:40 to 5 Pp. m., on sel days only. Mr. Sax- vik also promised full cooperation of the teachers in warning children of the dangers of playing on the streets in other parts of the city. W. A. Hughes, whose claim for, damages fy flood waters was re- jected by the commission a week ago, asked the board for information as to what relief he could expect to receive in the future, He claims that his building at the corner of Thayer avenue and Eighth street is flooded after every heavy rain. The question was given considerable dis- cussion but no decision was rei Chicago Shoemaker Kills Two Jokesters ngnionses Oct. 4—(AP)—A. shoe who “couldn’t take a “the te held er ile paler Juvesiagate the ie Feel OR ig nee repair si William sian, 31, and Cl Te the fur sho} Joseph o! rs come ‘to charges nearby to “watch the two entered the shoe a ne. a man Coad oo They asked for “hush money,” ry shoemaker told police.

He made no direct reference to probable Congressional action, and avoided specific predic- tions as to what should be done. May Prove Blessing Out of the affliction and suffer- ing caused by the Mississippi flood, Mr. Coolidge believes, new lessons of sanitation and health have been learned so that the catastrophe may prove a blessing in disguise. The land of the flooded area, he added, has been enrich.d by deposits of river mud, the farmers have been supplied with a better quality of seed and their buildings have been replaced with new structures bet- ter than the old. These advantages will he declared. Complimenting those most active- ly concerned with relief for the flood sufferers, the President mentioned specifically the services of Secre- tary Hoover, James L. Feiser, act- ing chairman of the Red Cross, and Major General Jadwin, chief of army engineers. “The story is one of the fine chapters in American history,” Mr. Coolidge said, “a record of generous response to a call for funds, of the high devotion to duty of those en- gaged in saving life, and relieving distress, and of endurance and courage shown by the people of the stricken area, The north and the south have been brought closer to- gether in the bonds of sympathy and understanding. The heart -of an entire nation has been quickened.” Work Well Carried Out Recalling that the flood enlisted the assistance of more government departments than any previous dis- aster the President declared that the relief work was go well designed and carried out that by July 12 headquarters could once more be temoved to Washi :gton. “The people of the South are the most appreciative of the assistance given to their stricken states,” he said. “In my capacity as President of the United States and as head of the American Red Cross, I wish to extend the highest commenda- tion and the thanks of the country to the members of the cabinet, to all government officisls and em- ployes, to the officers and staff of the Red Cross, tu the thousands of volunteers, and to other persons and agencies for the unselfish con- tribution of time and substance to this great humani.arian work in the Mississipp‘ Valley. But, in our admiration for che stupendous work done there, we must not forget that the Red Cross organization has functioned efficiently throughout the year in every emergency call and in all of its reg.lar activities. “Much glory has been added to our Red Cross emblem. More and more it is coming to be recognized universally as the symbol of love, sympathy, and charity for all those in suffering and distress. Its benign influence reach?s out to touch and soften our daily lives, dispelling envy and malice, so that we think less of self and more of others, bringing more of peace on rth and good will toward men.” Tonight’s Program of Women’s Meeting Will Be Broadcast Grand Forks, N.

Although clear weather yesterday brought relief after torrential week- end rains, streams draining south- eastern Kansas continued to pour water into the Verdigris river to create new flood records. The Verdigris was falling slowly at Independence, Kansas, today, aft- er it reached a record high mark to drive scores from their homes. It was the 15th time in the last 13 months that the stream had over- flowed. With large areas inundated this week in Kansas, western Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas, heavy losses have been reported to cotton, corn and winter wheat.
