BAT, CAVANAGH FIGHT TO DRAW IN 10 STANZAS Hazen Welterweight Surprises Fans by Unusually Strong Condition Declared to be in the best fighting condition of his career, Battling Krause, Hazen, succeeded in holding Lee Cavanagh, Bismarck welter- weight who recently defeated Tiger Johnny Compton of Minot, to a 10- round draw at Wildwood Lake yes- terday. i Krause surprised the fans by his stamina and unusual condition. He protected himself well from the lightning-like right and left jabs of his younger opponent, who is coming to the fore rapidly in North Dakota; boxing circles. ‘ Neither fighter was cut up in the scrap, in spite of the fact that both landed some healthy blows to the face, head, and body. Many at the ringside think Cavanagh had a slight edge in the fight, but a draw was the general judgment. : Orrie Baldwin, Hazen, and Soldier Spare, Fort Lincoln welterweight, drew in the six-round semi-windup. Spare recently whipped Soldier Parks at Wildwood Lake. Gabe Eckroth, Mandan 98-pounder, and Rusty Newman, 92 pounds, fought six rounds to a draw. Kid Musty, Wilton, scored the only knockout on the program, floor- ing his opponent in the second round of the curtain-raising bout. The card was managed by Ray Hughes, manager of the Wildwood Lake summer resort, and Orris W. Roberts, Bismarck, refereed all matches. A full-day program of} baseball, boxing, and a dance was arranged for the resort yesterday. SORLEIN 5 UP ON WARNER AT FARGO Fargo, N. D., Sept. 4.()—L. C.

Norton Describes Encamp- ment as Best He Has Ever Attended Unusual success attended North Dakota’s first Citizens’ Military Training camp, recently closed here, according to Lieutenant Colonel E. M. Norton, commanding official in charge of the encampment. In a_ statement issued today Colonel Norton said that the camp was, in every respect, the best he had ever attended, its excellence in some respects exceeding the ex- pectations of the officers. This was especially true in that no students were recommended for return to the camp next year, which means, according to the officers, that every student performed his duty well and faithfully, and that the company and platoon Commanders were well satistied with them. “The deportment and discipline cf the student personnel approached the ideal, There were no cases of homesickness, sullenness, insubordi- nation, absence without leave, petty thieving, obscenity, shirking, missing calls, drunkenness in camp, liquor in camp, or any other disagreeable in- cidents that invariably occur in a C. M. T. camp. No cases of dis- ciplinary action were reported to my- self, the executive officer, the ad- jutant, or the commander of the C. M. T. C. battalion. The reasons for this good conduct may be found in the inculcation of a good ‘dis- cipline habit‘ the first four days in camp, and in the unusually high type of candidates who attended this year. That the students are of a much higher type physically is.shown by the following statistics: Of 308 stu- dents who reported at camp, only four were rejected for physical dis- ability. Three were discharged on account of death in the family, and two were discharged on account of serious illness in the family. A high standard of discipline was main- tained throughout the camp, and no students were recommended for non- return.” Officials Are Praised Colonel Norton also took the oc- casion to praise the city, county and state officials and others for the co- operation which made the camp the success that attended its session here. “The city of Rismarck cooperated enthusiastically and assisted materi- ally in many ways,” he said. Their activities included the following: The complete furnishing of a hostess house; the furnishing of the officers’ club; the donation of the municipal swimming pool, four afternoons each week; free trans- portation of students to and from the swimming pool; free use of stadium seats for entertainment area; donation of stationery, maga- zines, etc., for hostess house; co- epee with the chaplain for church services; donations for med- als, cups and prizes for athletic events; sponsoring of picnic at Lake Isabel. Thanks are due the following members of the Association of Com- merce, according to Colonel Norton; H. P. Goddard, secretary; Myron Atkinson, for municipal pool; F. H. Waldo, for stadium seats; H. O. Sax- vik, for magazines and stationery; Colonel Frayne Baker, for prizes, medals; Judge W. L. Nuessle, for ministerial assistance; Paul Wachter, for trip to Lake Isabel; Mrs. Fred Conklin and Burleigh chapter of the American Red Cross, for hostess house and officers’ club. Dealers Recommend Canning Fruit Now Now is the’ time for Bismarck housewives to can their fruit for the winter. This is. the opinion expressed by local fruit dealers this morning. Fruits, which are plentiful this year, are at the lowest price now in ‘ive years. Some western shippers have advances on prices, due to heavy demands in the central and eastern states, dealers say. An increased demand is noted for seedless this year by fruit first in a class of 39 when he grad- uated from West Point. = a] men in the Inited States, probably because more housewives are realiz- A Perfect Luncheon and TRISCUIT - Serve with butter, toasted, MMADE AT NIAGARA FALLS - VISITORS WELCOME ing that pes in a medium syrup make an excellent sauce and a pala- table addition to winter salads.

Italian prunes, priced reasonably, are now on the market, and truis for canning will be available in large quantities in this district for we next five days, dealers say. LIGNITE RATES BEFORE BOARD Railroad Commissioners to Hear Shippers and Pro- ducers Again Round five of the pugilistic en- counter between lignite shippers of North Dakota and the carriers of the product will be sounded in the’ senate chambers of the state capi-| tol building tomorrow. For more than two years the bat- tle has raged. And so far, as far as’ the referee is concerned, the battic has been about even. ‘he referee of the tilt is the state board of rail- road commissioners, arbitrator of all matters coming between the shippers and producers of the state. ‘The hearing marks the fifth com- ing before‘the board of railroad com- missioners, and according to reports, it is going to be the last. Of the four other hearings, none were held to arbitrate the matter of lignite rates exclusively, and both sides claim that they were unable to pre- sent their sides fairly. Investigations into the matter have been made over a period of two years by the board of railroad com- missioners, The commissioners were authorized by the 1926 legislature to make a complete investigation into the matter and make a decision, In the two ‘years, nd satisfactory progress has been made. Owners of the principal lignite mines in the state point out that, with recent de- velopments, the lignite business bids fair of being the state’s principal means of income, and that care should be taken to give the business every chance of development. They claim that shipments to points with- in and without the state have been cut considerably during the last year due to increased freight rates. On the other hand, the carriers of the product claim that the present rates give them no margin, of prof- it, and that rates set. by the Inte: state Commerce commission in Jui 1927, applicable on interstate ship- ments, should be set for intrastate shipments of lignite and shipments that are sent from one North Dako- ta point to another but leuve the state in the tri Grant Permits for Six Freight Lines Permission to six North Dakota ‘persons to operate motor freight services in their respective towns has been granted by the state rail- road commission, it was announced Phone 318 Nelson, Gwinner; C. 0.
