NATURAL GAS WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE ABOUT SEPTEMBER 1 Beach, Belfield, Dickinson, He-! bron and Other Towns Be- | ing Served Now Confidence that natural gas will be, yailable to consumers in Bismarck and Mandan “about the first of Sep- tember,” was expressed today by James Trimble, local manager for the | Montana-Dakota Power company.

They were planning today to make August 13 one of the gala merchan- dising days of the early fall season with money-saving sales and enter- tainment for all visitors from far and near. One of the methods used to stir up interest and to convince people in the surrounding country that Bis- marck is the livest town in the state, is to offer free prizes and free food to all who attend. Plans are stillin the preliminary stage but one item which is having major consideration is the offering of 8 prize for the hot-dog eating cham- pion of the Missouri Slope district. If the event is staged, hot dogs will be served free to visitors here for the gala day. Along with the hot-dogs there probably will be free lemonade. For those with more aesthetic tastes there probably will be a band concert. Some can listen to the music while the others eat. fi Merchants were planning to offer special bargain sales as a part of the community effort. Detailed plans for the merchandis- ing event will be announced later in ‘The Tribune. The Tribune also will print develop- ments of the plans as they become available.

The company expects to complete the dis- tribution systems at New Salem and Glen Ullin within a short time and the gas will be turned into them as soon as they are ready, Trimble said. The Montana-Dakota company, which was organized in 1925, is bring- ing the natural gas 180 miles to Bis- marck. It serves about 100 commun- boring gas, electricity and steam Construction of a line from near Glendive to Williston was completed recently and that city now is being; served with natural gas. The com- pany also is building a new electric plant at Williston in which gas will be used for fuel, as is now the case with the company’s electric pfoper- ties at Glendive and Miles City. The line to Williston is 100 miles long. of Bismarck residents to the prospect of natural gas service has been Trimble said. A crew of 20 pipe fitters is working here, chang- ing the heating arrangements of local homes so that they can use gas.~ To Heat 900 Homes Trimble said the company expects be heating between 800 and 900 homes with gas by the first and that the installations January taking care of those which mn. Although North Dakota's popula- tion increased from 646,872 in 1920 to 681,273 in 1930, the 34,401 gain ap- pears to be insufficient to retain the state's three representatives in the lower house, of congress. Experts of the federal census bureau in Washington are now working on the reapportionment of the 435 seats in the house as provided by a con- gressional act. The question of subdividing the state into two district will be settled by the state legislature, according to Congressman O. B. Burtness, of Grand Forks. If the legislature makes no division, then all candidates will run at large. The general election next November will not be affected by the reappor- tionment law, which does not become effective until 1932. Col. Lindbergh and Wife Take Air Ride Hasbrouck Heights, N.

Whereabouts of many foreigners, mostly missionaries, who have evacu- ated these areas, was unknown here. It was feared some may have fallen fearing an attack by 10,000 reds re- ported advancing upon the city from the west. A Between Kiukiang and Hankow, along the Yangtse, Communists looted and burned many small villages, ap- parently seeking to frighten peasants into joining their forces.

[LIQUOR VIOLATORS CIVE STATE PRISON FOURTH OF IMATE Warden Turner Tells Rotary Club All About His Big In- stitution Since 1883 ‘ Approximately every fourth acces- sion to the inmates at the state peni- tentiary now is a liquor law violator, said Warden Claude Turner, who gave @ classification talk as the feature of the Rotary luncheon at noon today. The big problem, he said, is to provide occupation for all his charges, which at this time number 330. In ten years 339 new ones have come to the state prison, he added. Going into the history of the prison, Warden ‘Turner said the first cell house was built in 1883, when 35 con- victs were transferred here from Sioux Falls. In 1888 the warden’s residence was atided to the plant, In 1696 War- den N. T. Boucher built the twine Plant. In 1900 the wall, 32 feet high, was built around the prison; in 1902, the hospital, in 1906, the new cell house, in 1909, the deputy warden’s residence, in 1914, the official quar- ters, and the dairy barns in 1927. ‘The wardens who have had charge of the prison in this time were J. M. Quinn, 1883-84; Dan Williams, 1884- ‘91; Clark W. Haggert, 1891-93; N. F. Boucher, 1894-95; E. H. Wilson, 1895- :97;-N. F. Boucher, 1897-07; F. O. Hell- {strom, 1907-13; Frank Talcott, 1913- 18; Charles McDonald, 1918-20; L. L. Stair, 1920-23; John J. Lee, 1923-25; George Brown, 1928-29; and Mr. Turner since August 1, 1929. 3,137 Acres in Use The prison farm consists of 1,367 acres, with 1810 additional leased; there are 1,500 acres under crop this year; 200 are in alfalfa and sweet clover; 180 in wild hay and the bal- ance in pasture. The plant site covers 60 acres. In the dairy herd, which is notable in the state for its breed and produc- which are normally being milked. The farm uses 35 horses and three tractors, said the warden, Tracing the number of inmates since the prison has existed, the war- den said the original 35 in 1883 grew to an average of 83 for the following ten years, during which time 61 new ones came in. The next ten years averaged 138 inmates, 41 new ones being received in that time. For the ten years from 1910, the average was 209, the accessions, 102, The ten years from 1920 showed an average of 143, the new ones numbered 117. Since then, 339 have been received and the number now incarcerated is 330. Employes and Twine Output The warden said there are 38 per- sons on the pay roll, outside of the guards, of whom there‘are 14 in the twine plant. This plant employs about 150 inmates. They are paid 25 cents (Continued op page ane.) GOV. REED REJECTED BY KANSAS ELECTORS Chief Haucke Wins Nomination While Senator Allen Makes a Runaway Race Topeka, Kans., Aug. 6.—(P}—Kansas Republicans by primary vote have overwhelmingly indorsed Senator Henry J. Allen, strong supporter of the national administration, and appar- ently repudiated Governor Clyde Mi. Reed, who has clashed frequently with federal farm board agricultural policies. --Reed, who sought support for re- tions trie deed pecly ns pal , appeared badly de- feated by Frank (“Chief”) Haucke, youthful World War veteran and for- mer football star. Senator Allen, who was appointed by Reed to fill the sen- atorial seat of Vice President Curtis, ran away with the race made yester- day against three opponents. Allen wth unofficial reports from 1,849 out of 2,668 precincts, had a total vote of 89,939 against 48,123 for his closest opponent. Haucke, who took the lead at the outset, continued to pile up a major- ity. Returns from 1,743 precincts gave Haucke 111,603; Reed 85,896.

D. ‘CHEBRIO’ «| ON STOP-OFF HERE Wallace, on Tour, Says This; State Is Far From Being Hit as Its Neighbors Are HEAD SEES BETTER PRICES Congratulates Dakota Farmers; Devine Pictures Future for ‘oung lowa Here The second of the Wallace farm tours, started as an annual visit to Yellowstone Park by farmers of the corn belt last year, stopped over here ied ie Mandan, this morning, on ar- val in a ten-car 5; train from Des Moines, Iowa. sain In the touring party were 130 farmers from four states—Iowa, 125, two from Minnesota, two from Illi- nois and one from Missouri. Four were on last year’s trip. The tour is being chaperoned by John P, Wallace, head of Wallace Farmer, and by Neil Baird, N. P. traveling passenger agent at Des Moines, H. W. Byerly, of the N. P. land and immigration department, and Clifford C. Gardener, of the Rock Island_route. Devine Invites Their Sons The special arrived here at 9:25 and a reception was given it at the N. P. depot, at which an address of wel- }come was made by J. M. Devine, ‘state immigration commissioner. Cap- tain I. P. Baker spoke to the tourists on the old steamboat days on the Mis- souri. Former Governor Devine spoke of North Dakota as a land of the fu- ture. He said Iowa was a good state in which to remain as far as the pres- ent generation of farmers goes, but the coming generations will find their Opportunities in North Dakota as|° long as cheap land {s obtainable, as now. He instanced the death rate of seven per 1000 and the birth rate of 22 as signs of what is ahead for this state in the way of growth. Wallace Sees Lining to Clouds J. P. Wallace responded for the Iowans. He congratulated North Da- kota on its farm conditions in con- trast to those in other states. He said North Dakota is far from being hit as hard as other states and com- pares well with the best conditions in | Towa. In conversation Mr. Wallace ex- pressed the belief that farmers will find conditions, measured by income, about as good as if there were a larger crop yield and of better quality. He looks for prices to go up when the harvest has been duly appraised and feels it is too early to shed tears. Speaking of the drouth, Mr. Wal- 1 eee se Towa had had a seven- jour rain a week ago and was great! benefited. aia, Members of the party who are prac- tical dirt farmers also spoke hope- fully of the near future, their opti- mism taking the expectation that there will be a turn by fall. Some of the observant farm women said Iowa jcorn is fine as far as stalks go, but i there is some absence of ears around Des Moines and what ears there are are lacking in grains. To See Rodeo at Medora After farm condition prospects had been swapped between the visitors and the home folks, Neil Baird made |@ few remarks and the tourists sang the Iowa song about “where the tall corn grows.” The visitors took taxis for a drive to the capitol and Roosevelt cabin, then to Mandan to resume their trip. They are scheduled for another stop at Medora, where cowboys will put on @ rodeo for them. Four days are to be spent in Yel- lowstone Park, then the return trip will be started. Stops are to be made at Glendive and Dickinson on the way back.

Calls Upon Masses To Aid Chinese Reds Moscow, Aug. 6. — (/) — Pravda, mouthpiece of the commuist party, today sounded a clarion call to the proletarian masses and communist parties throughout the world to sup- port the Chinese revolution. “In each factory or enterprise and in every port of the world,” the paper said, “there should be established committees for enforcing the policy of hands off the Chinese revolution.” Declaring that two large American munitions plants and all the capital- istic countries of the world are sup- plying the Chinese reactionary gen- eral with munitions and money, Pravda urged the workers in al! these countries resolutely to oppose all shipments of munitions, to carry on the active revolutionary work among the soldiers of their own countries, and to mobilize the masses against imperialistic intervention in China.

She pre- viously had been named “Miss United States of America,” in the first judg- ing event. + Martin Starr of New York, assist- ant director of the pageant, an- nounced he has become her manager and was expecting a number of stage or screen offers. The girl, brought to the micro- phone, looked bewildered and said in @ half choked voice she. was “the happiest girl in the world.” The new Miss Universe is five and a half feet tall and weighs 122 pounds.

The secretary of commerce has been directed by congress to submit on the first day of the December ses- sion a compilation of the population of the state and the number of mem- bers to which each is entitled. ‘The first actual census total, which still is subject to final revision by the census bureau, showed reapportion- ment figures somewhat different frm. those calculated by the house census committee before reapportionment law was adopted. California, calculated by the com- mittee to gain six seats, would be entitled to nine, bringing her delega- tion to 20. Michigan would gain four additional members. Thus the rapid population gains of these two states alone would give them half of the 26 memberships exfected to be shifted. Other shifts from committee calcu- lations were seen in New York and Ohio. The empire state had been slated for the loss of a member, but unusual population gains probably will entitle her to two additional seats. The Buckeye state, on the other hand, probably will gain but two of its estimated increase of three mem- bers. Other unforeseen losses of one member each were calculated to be in store of Minnesota, Rhode Island. | South Carolina and South Dakota. On present figures Missouri would be the largest loser, as the census committee had indicated, with a de- crease of three members, bringit.¢ her delegation down to 13. Losses of two members each, all previously indi- cated, would be sustained by Indiana, Towa and Kentucky. States which the committee had indicated would lose one member, and whose population increases have not been sufficient to upset these pre- dictions, are Alabama, Kansas, Lou. isiana, Maine, Nebraska, North Da- kota, Pennsylvania. Tennessee, Ver- mont and Virginia. \ Starts Making Drought Survey GOVERNMENT BENDS EFFORTS 10 LEARN | AGTUAL CONDITION: Requests for Relief Continue to Pour in to Washington From All Sections EARLY REPORTS ARE GOOD Kentucky Governor Declares That Dry Weather Desolation Will Equal That of Floods Washington, Aug. 6—(#)—The de- partment of agriculture in its weekly weather and crop report today added more gloom to the drought situation. In the north central portion of the country during the past few days lo- He was notified by the Toeldo showers and these have fallen also in some central gulf districts. Bene- ficial rains have fallen in the Rocky Mountains area and in some of the South Atlantic states. That was the only relief and the seventh consecutive hot week aggra- vated conditions that were already serious.

It said the drought was now general prac- tically everywhere east of the Rockies except a few fortunate localities and Parts of the southeast, and added “all oe vegetation is seriously affect- The corn crop has suffered most of all. Pastures would revive with abundant moisture, but much corn and late truck are beyond recovery. The concentrated effort of govern- ment agencies was bent today to the task of ascertaining accurately the eee of the drought-stricken coun- ry. Expect Report Monday While requests for relief were pour- ing in, the department of agriculture and the farm board, at the direction of President Hoover, engaged in deter- mining both existing conditions and the measures the government could employ to assist the suffering agricul- tural states. The president expects a report to be placed before him Mon- day. A desolation equaling the destruc- . tion of floods, tornadoes or earth- quake was described to the president in a telegram for aid dispatched last night by Governor Sampson of Ken- tucky. A plea for a proclamation for nation-wide prayer meetings to ask divine aid for rain came to the chief executive from Alexandria, just across the Potomac from the capital. Food for humans as well as cattle was ask- ed in an appeal from the Virgin islands. Downpours Are Needed Meanwhile reports of showers con- tinued to come from many sections but none told of steady, soaking down- pours such as are needed to save parched crops and furnish feed for vast herds of cattle.
