*: MISSOURI NO POWER ~ STREAM HERE SAYS |, > BLBCTRIG MANAGER |= ~ Expenditures tures Out of All Propor- tion to Possible Earnings, Rotarians Are Told The futility of thinking of hydro- y @lectric installation on the Missouri river here at this time was one of the + points brought out in a talk on com- . Mercial electricity to the Rotary luncheon, today, by O. W. Matison, manager of the North Dakota Power and Light company here. He cited the giant plant on the Mississippi at Keokuk, Iowa, as an example of the delusion that electric power generated by streams and falls is always a paying proposal. The Keokuk plant, he said, has been mak- ing money only in the last two years. It is a beautiful plant, he said with its Pporcelain-lined interior and its rows of gigantic generators, always as clean as a modern kitchen, but with the sparse population here nothing like it would be financially feasible here. A plant in the Missouri here would en- tail an expenditure of $40,000,000 to $50,000,000, he intimated. ‘Why Some Rates Are High The North Dakota company main- tains 725 transmission lines, he said, to serve 31,000 population. Fargo has about that total of population, hence it 1s possible to give cheaper service to its consumers, as it can serve cur- rent on low tension while from Beu- lah high tension wires are required. Beulah has 200 consumers, he said, and they are scattered and cannot be served over one set of wires and two transformers as the Mason apart- ments here with half as many con- sumers and one closet for meter read- ing. Manager Mattison said the North Dakota company now is installing self-closing oll switches, which can be struck by lightning three times before they cease to function. Any trouble with them up to the third time will produce a mere flutter in the lights, then they will come back strong again. The electric industry is a monopoly, said Mr. Mattison, and he thought it was wisely so. In every state it is regulated in its rates, so that the con- sumer is protected. It is so managed and conducted that it is adding con- stant improvements, and in that way the consumer gets the benefit of its monopoly, he . :gued. Norseman Entertains The big feature of the day was Axel Christensen, a trolling Rotarian from Chicago on ‘his way to Yellowstone park by car. The rain held him up here, for he Inows the prairie country roads, so he came down to the lunch- eon and gave the club some piano entertainment and some humorous talk and stories in Norwegian-Eng- lish dialect. He also gave an inimita- ble piece of mimickry—an old tobacco- chewing soldier telling an experience in duck shooting. George Bird reported on the visit to a district meeting at Fergus Falls by him and Dr. Harry Brandes. Visitors of the day included John F, Sullivan, John Zacherias, of Man- dan; Victor Moynier and William Fricke, Burleigh county commission- ers; and Roy Allen c: Oswego, N. ¥. PHONE FIRM PLANS ($23,000 ADDITION Growth in Long Distance Tele- phoning Makes More Space Necessary, Waldo Says A $23,000 addition will be built on the rear end-of the Northwestern Bell Telephone company building at Fifth street and Thayer avenue this summer. This announcement was made today by F. H, Waldo, manager of the com- ny. The addition will include a base- ment and one floor and is to be built of the same brick used in the main building. The addition will increase the length of the building 32 feet, Mr. ‘Waldo says. Contracts for construction have not yet been made. Construction begun in August, Hewitt and Inc., Minneapolis, are the architects with William F. Kurke, Fargo, as as- sociate. Some of the additional space in the new section will be used to enlarge ae business office by 72 square feet ai permit installation of'a day and night telephone booth for the convenience of the public. A customer's room equipped with telephone and table for. the use of salesmen and others also will be provided. The addition to the present build- Mr. Waldo says, is made neces- sary by the need for space in which to place additional long distance tele- Phone equipment. Growth in long distance telephoning. recently has been rapid. The addition also was necessitated because Bismarck is one of the points through which the east and west coast telephone traffic is handled, and will need space for pres- ent and future growth. Crews of the company have been working in the Bismarck district. preparatory to the stringing of additional wires on the transcontinental line. Kin of Steeplejack Who Died Here Sought "Who Says Lightning | sn’t Land Twice | oy “Identical Spot? | says lightning never strikes twice “in te same place? That is the question asked today by employes of the Bank of North Da- kota after the bank building was struck by an electric bolt this morn- ing for the second time in the last year. Employes scampered for cover this morning as the storm god spat on the building at 9 o'clock. The charge struck on the north end of the build- ing just over an elevator shaft, tear- ing out bricks and causing damage estimaved at $100. Lightning struck the northwest corner of the building last summer, also tearing out bricks and causing $100 damage. WILD GAME TS THICK SAY CITY OFFICIALS AFTER RURAL TRIPS John Larson Sees 10,000 Duck: at Long Lake; Deer Eating Nearby Corn Crops Behind crop conditions which look- ed somewhat dark a few days ago there was all the time a bright con- solation. The wild game crop of North Dakota is going to be a bumper one this Evidence: come in from the prairies as to this. John A. Larson, whose word no- body will doubt, came back from a trip to the Long lake country 50 miles east of here and reported at the Rotary luncheon today that he had seen 5,000 greenhead ducks trampling down an entire farm of wheat along the lake shore, in their hatching. Adding 5,000 wild drakes, as pairs must be considered, that would mean 10,000 ducks sojourning around but one of the main duck grounds of North Dakota. is noticeable, said John French, who shares with Larson the honor of sit- ting on the city commission. Ftench said deer never were so plenty as now since the days of the Mandan Indians. He says William Gagner's farm, seven miles east on No. 10 high- way, is so overrun by deer that Gag- ner’s corn crop has been about all eaten by the animals. Larson said even that is not all. Somewhere north, of Bismarck Chin- ese pheasant cocks, descandents pf 32 birds planted there, are coming to the barnyards and are assuming au- thority over the chicken flocks, driv- ing off the high-jriced purebred roosters in which the chicken breed- ers have invested. The pheasants are greater fighters than an ordinary Cu- ban game cock and wherever one de- cides to assume a barnyard flock of hens as a harem, there is nothing for roosters to do but to vamoose.

Muskies Big in Northern Minny Now and then you hear of a fisher- man being shot by a dry agent, but the folks around International Falls, Minn., can’t be bothered about that.

Illness Bothers Ruth and Vance New York, July 10.—(#)—Baseball’s two brightest figures, Babe Ruth and Dazzy Vance, reached this season's meridians July 4 with crowns toppling from ailing brows. The Bambino's record of home runs is half that of his big year at the same point and Dazzy has scarcely the slightest chance to maintain his Position at the head of the pitch- ers. ‘These things are not due to the old timers slipping but to bodily ailments | Austin, G. which laid both low at critical times of the season. . The Babe has been watched over fearfully since his collapse of sev- eral weeks ago which drove him to the country for a rest. He still may pass Gehrig, Ott and the rest for another ihHy 1 be cake but his record is not likely to be touched. Dazzy started the season with the vigor of his great 1924 season and was steaming along nicely when attacked by a flu germ which sired other germs and sent the Dazzler to his bed. He has recovered now, but the Ground: has been lost. Mott Nine Defeats Havelock by 7 to 5 (Tribune Special Service) Mott. N.
