Recently the two boards of county commissioners agreed _ to abide by the decision of the high- ‘way commission. Appearing before the highway com- mission yesterday, residents of Plaza and Ryder also that they would accept the highway commis- sion’s decision without protest. Governor George F. Shafer said he and Commissioner J. A. Dinnie, Grand Forks, wi inspect the rival B. routes, as well as @ central route pro- posed by residents of Makoti as a compromise. The Ward and Moun- trail county commissions then will be asked to meet with the highway com- mission and the decision will be made. Makoti Route ‘Too Rough’ The Makoti route, suggested yes- terday, met with the opposition of highway enginecrs, who said they had inspected it and that the country through which it would pass is “too rough.” Residents of both Plaza and Ryder * want the road, which will lead east- ward from the Sanish bridge, to pass through their town. The Plaza route would run seven miles north of Ryder but would shorten the distance from a Minot to the bridge. \ In a decision announced today the supreme court held that the state highway commission has the right to designate the location of a state high- way without first obtaining the ap- proval of the county commissioners. of any county through which the road may pass. * The court’ further held that the highway commission may not be en- joined from making such alterations and changes in a route as it secs fit.

FISH MARKET. GM ae eS Western North Dakota and eastern Montana was a vast lake today. Five inches of rain poured out o/ the heavens in a few hours yesterday afternoon and last night causing widespread damage to all forms of communciation and transportation. No loss of life had been reported ir. the few meager reports received at noon today from the flooded areas. Four railroad bridges were washec out, telephone poles floated away like match sticks, highways disappearec in the torrents, and dry creeks became Taging rivers. Today transcontinental railroad telephone and telegraph crews were feverishly attempting to repair dam- age wrought to their services. Damage in Thousands It was impossible to obtain an ac- curate check of the damage but it i: believed the toll will reach thousand: of dollars. The heavy rainfall drenched the area between Beach, N. Dak., where 4.93 inches was recorded within 12 |hours yesterday, to a point west of Glendive, Mont. At Wibaux, Mont., water pouring into the railroad yards rose to the tops of box cars, forcing persons tc take to the hills, housetops, and tree- |tops, according to T. F. Lowry, gen- jeral superintendent of the Yellow- stone division of the Northern Pacific railroad. Water was five feet deep in the streets and was moving 35 miles an hour, F. B. Cooper, Dickinson railroad agent, reported. Four Bridges Disappear Three large bridges on the North- ern Pacific right-of-way were washeo out, am one on the Milwaukee road near Terry, Mont. was damaged, Lowry said. A concrete bridge west of Ryder. near Medora, N. D., together with 30-foot fill was undermined and washed out. It is the third time in 110 years that exceptionally high water has struck at this section of the Northern Pacific right-of-way, A railroad bridge west of Glendive, Mont., and one over Beaver Creek near the Montana-North Dakota state line, also were destroyed by the torrents of rain. Through train service probably will be resumed on the this section of the Northern Pacific line by Tuesday of next week, according to T. H. Lantry, gencral manager of the Northern Pa- cific. Lantry and Lowry and other railroad officials were in Mandan to- day organizing bridge crews and en- rolling additional workers to repair the damage. East Trains Canceled No passenger trains from the west came into Bismarck this . but No. 3, assembled at Dickinson, was expected here about 3 o'clock this afternoon. The train went west to Medora from Dickinson this and then began its eastward trip. to The “tall blond young man wearinz smoked glasses” stepped out of the trim cabin cruiser pictured below onto the dock shown above at Block Island, off Newport, R. I. He wanted 50 gallons of gasoline. He wanted 12 bottles of ginger ale. He was bound, he said, for Boston. “Say, you're Colonel Lind- bergh, aren't you?” inquired Giles P. Dunn, Jr., inset, who owns the gas station. “Yes,” said the customer. And that’s how it was discovered that the clusive eagle and his bride have been honeymooning on the waters of Long Island Sound aboard their newly purchased motor launch Mouette.
