PAGE SIX ” North Dakota Seeks Establish- | ment es Natural Beauty Spot of Much Charm | Regardless of what action may be taken on the proposal to create a national park in North Dakota's Bad Lands there is no doubt but that the people of North Dakota are solidly behind the project. And any con- sman who wishes to know if this so need only to read the congres- nal record in which will be print- testimony of prom citizens as presented to the senate public ~ lands committee at Medora last = week. } Congressman James H. Sinclair, in opening the presentation of evi- dence to the comm tee, stressed the} _advantages of the Bad Lands as aj ~ natural, unsoiled ground for | all who like the great outdoors, as well as the sentimental e which | attaches to the son of the fact that Re nd there the health and h sus- tained him in an active life. Sinelair plans to present at Wash- ington, before the tees of the hous: tailed statement project and a list it will be nece make North Dz tional park come t ue State Wants Park Governor A. G. Sorlie, assuring the committee that the e was “100 per cent sold on the park idea,” said that the time to create the park is now since che land needed for it | will never be cheaper. The nation needs more national | parks and will need more as the! ‘years go by, he s. and the Bad) Lands are so located as to make| them a natural and reasonable place for a park which would be another | in the chain of parks extending | the northern part of the Unit- tes. Northern Pacific railroad, he said, will surrender its immense land holdings in the area, which were ac-| quired from the government without cost, and the additional land can be picked up for little or nothing. He placed the cost of the entire project at $1,000,000 which he said would be small when compared to the advan- tage which’ would accrue to the pub- lic generally if the park were cre- ated. The Bad Lands also would offer a natural preserve for birds and game which are now rapidly dis- appearing from the western prairies, > he said. Procedure Outlined Sinclair, Congressman 0. B. Burt- ness and Attorney General George F. Shafer joined in outlining a pro- cedure whereby the government may acquire the state and school lands located in the proposed park area. The law under which these lands were granted to the state forbids sale of the land for less than $10 an acre. Some of the land is of lit- tle or no value for agricultural pur-} poses and has never been sold be- cause there were no buyers. The lawyers agreed that the state could not give the land back to the government outright but that pro- vision might be made for trading them for other government land of similar value located elsewhere in the state or that the land grant law might be amended so as to permit the state to give or sell the land back tothe government for practically nothing. The opinion was unanimous that the North Dakota legislature would do quickly and without hesi- tation whatever was necessary to facilitate this movement, Shafer Pointing out that a resolution passed at the last regular session put the legislature on record in this respect. The recreational and commercial advantages of a national park in North Dakota would be many, ac- cording to C. E. Danielson of the Greater North Dakota association. { He explained that his organization is interested in the project for these reasons. « Railroad Interested ‘1. J. M.

The region of the greatest scenic beauty lies along the Little Missouri river, averaging about two town- ships on each side of the stream, he said. He expressed the view that the area of greatest desirability as a park lies north of the Northern Pacific railroad but M. H. Connolly, New England, disagreed. Connolly contended that the area south of the railroad was just as attractive.

D. | - Years of Service in MODEL T FORDS Expenditure of few dollars may enable you to get thousands of miles from your old car , Model T Ford is still a great car. It led the motor industry for twenty years and it is used today by more people than any other auto- mobile. More than eight million Model T Fords are in active service in city, town and country, and many of them can be driven for two, three and five more years and even longer at very small up-keep expense. The cost of Model T parts and of necessary Jabor ie unusually low because of established Ford policies. The labor charge for tuning up the motor is only $1. This includes replacement of commutator case, brush and vibrator points if necessary. Grinding valves and cleaning carbon runs from $3 to $4. Overhauling carburetor, $1.50. Installing new pistons or connecting rods, $6. Tight- ening main bearings, $6. For a labor charge of $20 to $25 you can have the motor and transmission completely overhauled. The labor charge for replacing rear axle shaft, drive shaft pinion or drive gear is $5. All sockets and joints of front end can be tightened for $1.50. The steering gear can be completely overhauled for a labor charge of $3.50. Muffler repaired for $1. The labor charge for repainting the Coupe is $23. Sedan, $25. Toure ing Car, $20, Top deck of Coupe or Sedan can be replaced for a labor charge of $4. All of these prices are approximate, of course, because the cost of materials needed will depend on the condition of each car. They show, however, the low cost of putting the Model T Ford in shape for thousands of miles of additional service. ‘ See the nearest Ford dealer, therefore, and have him estimate on the cost of reconditioning your Model T Ford. He will tell you, in advance, exactly how much the complete job will cost.
