PAVING PROJECT ONFRONT AVENUE 10 COST BIC SUM Engineer’s Estimates Range From $72,200 to $76,600, Depending on Type MAY DELAY WORK UNTIL 1931 Contracts Cannot Be Let Until September 19; Fear Cold Weather May Set In Estimates on the cost of the pro- posed paving improvement on Front avenue and adjacent streets were pre- sented to the city commission Mon- day night by City Engineer T. R. At- kinson, The estimates ran from $72,200 for reinforced concrete to $76,600 for asphalt on a concrete base. Warren- ite bitulithic was estimated to cost $75,500. The area to be paved totals 20,900 square yards, oh Plans call for paving 40 feet ide on Front avenue and 48 feet wide on streets between Front and Main avenues. Third and Seventh streets will be paved to a point 140 feet south of Front avenue but the paving south of Front avenue will be only 30 feet wide, as is the general tule with paving in the residential district. Petitions asking for the paving were presented a week ago. Paving of Front street. may be the means of settling a long-standing dis- pute between the city of Bismarck and the Northern Pacific Railway company. The argument has never been heated but it involves land of considerable value because of the growth of the city. The railroad claims land for a dis- tance of 200 south from the center line of its tracks but the city’s plat shows the north line of Front avenue is only 190 feet from the track. City Engineer T. R. Atkinson told the commissioners Monday night he felt the railroad company has the best of the argument and the im- provement of Front street will be Planned on that basis. Because of the necessary legal for- malities, it will be impossible to let contracts for the work before Sep- tember 19 and the city commission probably will hold a special meeting for the purpose at that time. It is not certain, the city engineer said, if the work can be completed before cold weather sets in and there is a possibility that he may advise hold- ing up the improvement untii next spring, he indicated. The amount of bonds which may be {ssued to finance the improvement in paving district No. 11 in the north- ‘Yestern part of the city was increased trom: $28,000 to $29,000. Must Have Driveways A check by the city showed that 20 householders have failed to install driveways and are running trucks and wagons over the curbs when neces- sary. The city auditor was instructed to notify them to quit the practice because of the possibility of damaging the curbs. The places were “spotted” by street and number only and the commissioners had no idea of the identity of the offenders when the matter was discussed, It was decided to notify the owners of lots on which weeds have been permitted to grow to have them cut at once. If the order is ignored the health officer will issue orders to have them cut by the city and the cost will be charged to the property as a special assessment. Gale Scott offered $35 in payment of the delinquent taxes on lots 4, 5 and 6 in the block between Rosser and Thayer and east of 23rd street. The face of the delinquént taxes to- taled $38 and the board of county commissioners was instructed that the city would favor settlement for the face of the taxes due. A similar policy was adopted with regard to other lots about which in- quiry was made to J. L. Bell as agent for the owner. They were lots 5 to 12, on 16th street between Avenues C and D; lots 1 to 16 on 25th street between Thayer and Rosser and lots 1 to 8 on the east side of 26th street between Rosser and Thayer. Commissioners expressed the hope that, if the adjustments were made, the taxes would be paid promptly in the future. Peter Renick, living on 16th street again sought permission to tap the water main to Fort Lincoln. Per- mission from the war department at ‘Washington is necessary, however, because of an agreement between the city and army officials regarding the use of the main. Renick said he has to haul water for his stock and that he needs the water for a house which he hopes to build. ’ Flyer Brings Plane wn as Passengers Save Him from Fire Pontiac, Mich.

Charles (“Bud”) Cottar Jr., big- game hunter and guide of Mairobi, Kenya Colony, East Africa, called on | Carlos Avery, president of the associ- | ation, recently. He said that Africa is| copying many of the better game con- servation and restoration ideas of the ans used to] . | United States and then putting them| into better practice than has been done here. “Because of our strict enforcement of the law and other conservation measures, Africa has stemmed the tide | of slaughter that was fast depleting| big game there. For the last five years, owing principally to the en- forcement of measures copied from the United States, big game is holding | its own, possibly increasing. For ten years prior to that it was d rapidly,” Mr. Cottar declared. “One of the principal ideas copied from. the United States was the Pro-| hibition of night hunting. At night | big game seeks the water holes. There | it 1s easily killed. Now the hunter must really hunt, and it {s not so easy to get within range of game in day-| light. The effect of this measure is/ apparent. “Our game departments are better organized, they are larger, and they are spending more money’ each year to protect game. we Solontes pay for, the maintenance of these game de-! partments. | “Better organization and enf®rce- ment of laws will do much tdward re- storing wild life,” Mr. Cottar said. Among the notables guided by Mr. Cottar in hunting expeditions were the duke and duchess of York, he said. SHERIDAN WHEAT | AVERAGING FAIR Yield for County Approximately Ten Bushels per Acre; Quality Varies McClusky, N. D., Aug. 19.—Harvest- ing in Sheridan county is nearing completion and threshing has been under way in some localities for a week or more. The indicated wheat average for the county at this time is about 10 bushels an acre, according to present threshing returns, The harvest this year has been the earliest in several years, due to rapid ripening of grains because of the heat. An inspection of grains at thresh- ing rigs in this community and at local elevators shows considerable variation in the quality of wheat threshed this year. Hard northern spring wheat is ranging in grades from number one down to number three, the weights 55 to 60 pounds a bushel. Practically all wheat here seems to have good color. George Reiswig of near Lincoln Val- ley has Velvet Chaff wheat that grades number one, 60 Pounds to the bushel. Albert and Andrew Beck threshed hard wheat that weighed from 55 to 58 pounds. They also have Ceres wheat of good quality. Combined wheat owned by Henry Billingmeier and Wahl, graded number one. Jacob Hieb reports one of the lowest yields to date. His field, located a quarter mile northwest of was good for only about 3% is thats why you need PD. bushels an acre and weighed 55 pounds. The grain was badly damaged by heat. Wheat from the Gottlieb Reiser and Schatz nd son farms southeast of McClusky graded low be- cause of damage from heat and drouth. Fred Heitzmann of northeast of Mc-- Clusky completed threshing on his farm Jast week, his wheat yielding from 10 to 12 bushels an acre, grad- ing number one. Barley on the Heitz- mann farm showed the effects of heat and drouth and averaged about 20 bushels an acre; the grain was light. Durum Quality Is Good Durum wheat seems to be of bet- ter quality than the hard varieties this year. Les Aldrich threshed durum that weighed 58 pounds a bushel. Adam Rott recently threshed durum of exceptional quality. It graded number one, having large kernels of Good color and good weight. A fair amount of number one rye has been marketed here. John Bentz and Gottlieb Herr threshed rye Wed- nesday that was over-weight, being good for 57 pounds a_ bushel, 56 Pounds being the standard weight for this grain. Other rye has been Weighing from 52 to 56 pounds. Traces of smut have been found in some of the wheat brought here which means a dockage of from two cents upward, per bushel, depending upon the amount of smut. Some rye likewise is bad, being infested with ergot, however. Losses from smut and ergot in the county’ will be small this year. There seems to be plenty of laborers here to meet demands for harvest help. Threshing wages are 40 cents an hour for men, and 50 cents an hour for man and team. N. D. SHORT 9,000,000 TONS OF JULY RAINS Water Which Failed to Fall in U. S. Would Float All World's Navies Washington, Aug. 19.—()—All the navies of the world could be floated many times over in the water which has failed to fall upon the United States through the drought. J. B. Kincer, chief agricultural meteorologist of the weather bureau, today computed the deficiency in normal rainfall for the states east of the Rocky mountains during the month of July and found it would aggregate 230,000,000,000 tons. The average daily shortage, he estimated, was 7,400,000,000 tons. As against this total, the fighting ships of the navies of the United States, Great Britain and Japan, under the terms of the London treaty, would displace only approximately 3,000,000 tons of water. An inch ‘of raih over an acre of ground totals 113 tons, Kincer ex- plained. That amount is common- Place in good, soaking rains. July rainfall deficiency in tons was estimated as follows: Including South Dakota 10,500,000,000; Iowa 9,000,000,- 000; North Dakota 8,200,000,000; Mon- tana 5,200,000,000; Wisconsin 4,400,- 000,000, > Went enna ns eee | Clement Thinks U. S. | Women ‘Copy Cats’ Chicago, Aug. 19.—(?)—The differ- ence between American and French women, says Louis Clement, is that the former try to copy each other while the latter try to be themselves. And Clement, a New York and Paris cosmetician attending the convention of the American Association of Cos- meticians and Hair artists, believes the French woman is right. The Parisienne, Clement told re- Porters, seeks to be an individual; she achieves her chic by studying her- Self and wearing the clothes and makeup that accentuate her individ- uality. The American woman, on the other hand, wears polka-dots if her neighbor wears them and a posey on her shoulder if that seems to be the style. Too much plucking of the eyebrows and too much makeup are other ob- servations Clement has made of the fair sex in.America. He suggested face powders blended to the complex- fon of the individual with nearly all women using a darker powder than at present. Only a blonde turned gray can risk white powder and flesh is almost as ‘dangerous, Clement said, for it makes the nose purple.

Pest DESTROYER Does Police Duty OF DEPRESSION NOW Hoover's Policies and Repub- licans Rush to Defe: Washington, Aug. 19.—()—The bat- jearnest today, with leading spokes- men of the Republican and Demo- the general issues on which the con- test is to be decided at the November elections, Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic national executive com- mittee, placed the Democratic side be- fore the country in a radio address last night, in which the administra- tion was charged with errors both of omission and commission. An immedi- ate defense and counterattack was is- sued in a statement to the press by John @. Tilson of Connecticut, Repub- lican floor leader. Shouse’s attack centered on the tariff bill, farm relief, and business depression. President Hoover, in his speech, was made to share responsi- bility for the farm act and the tariff bill. He was singled out also for in- dividual criticism in connection with the farm relief legislation adopted and for failure to check in advance the depression which set in last fall. Tilson termed the Democratic speech “an amazing collection of half truths, misstatements, abuse, and criticism.” Shouse, said Tilson, “failed to sug- gest a cure for a single thing which he criticized. Instead of offering a constructive program, as his listeners had every right to expect him to do at this time, he presented the regret- table spectacle of the at least verbal leader of a political party literally gloating over the economic di of the country.” The Democratic leader asserted the people of the country “are arising to @ politcal overthrow that may assume the proportions of a cataclysm.” Tilson replied that overthrow of the Republican party would be a “cata-!| clysm” because the party had “a def- Anite, well considered administrative and legislative program which it is carrying forward to completion de- spite the determined obstructive tac- PARTY LEADERS HAVE) DEBATE OVER CAUSES | Democrat Criticizes President |: Ue for control of congress was on in! cratic parties recording their views of | en have gained rights, but they have lost privileges,” she explained. FARMERS URGED 10 SAVE ALFALFA SEED State Association Says It Will Be More Profitable Than if Used as Hay Held In Slaying + Fargo, N. D., Aug. 19.—Save alfalfa for seed if you would realize the Greatest profit. This is the belief of officials of the Greater North Dakota association, following reports of field men who have canvassed a large part of the state. The thought is con- curred in by Edgar Olson, manager of the North Dakota Grimm Alfalfa as- sociation, and by various seed houses and other authorities. “Even though a second crop of al- | falfa for hay would seem to be val- | uable for feeding this fall and winter, | we still believe the seed, if threshed, | will pay better returns,” Gordon W. | Associated Press Photo Ready to sail for his native Italy, Ted Pezzoni, alleged gang! | Randlett, special field man for the “trigger man,” arrested by | association, declares. “The average New York police @ suspect In | field of alfalfa if cut for hay would the slaying of juckley, De- trolt radio announcer. yield perhaps one-third ton, against a Prospective yield of 50 to 75 pounds of seed per acre if threshed. . The price average of seed for last year, 25 to 33 cents, should be maintained this year, according to present prospects.” The association conducted extensive sales efforts in placing small quanti- ties of alfalfa seed over the state during the past two years. This is re- garded as one‘ factor in the seeding this year of what is regarded as the state’s record acreage of this field crop. Death of Wm.
