6 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1930 BANKER COLLECTOR IS HELD ON CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT C. F. Peterson, Employed by District Bank Receiver, Is Held in Mountrail County Minot, N. D., Aug. 27.—(P)—C. F. Peterson, former banker at Ray, and in recent years employed as a collec- tor for the receiver of closed banks, was arrested here last night on a charge of embezzlement filed in Mountrail county. Peterson, who was taken into cus- tody by Sheriff Square Warren of Stanley, was taken to that city imme- diately where he appeared before Justice T. N. Engdahl. He waived preliminary hearing and was bound over to the district court to await trial. He furnished $2,000 bonds and was released at once. The complaint against Peterson, signed by B. W. Taylor of Stanley, charges him with embezzlement of $800, State’s Attorney C. N. Cotting- ham of Stanley, reported today. The charge arises out of collections which Peterson is alleged to have made for the receiver of a closed bank at Lostwood of which Taylor was the former president. Peterson until recently had made his home at Stanley but his family is now reported to be in South Dakota. J. P. Reeve, Burlington, district re- ceiver of closed banks, for whom Pet- erson worked for a time, said today that there will be no losses sustained, if any embezzlement is revealed, in- asmuch as all collectors are bonded. State’s Attorney Cottingham said that Peterson's case will be placed on the calendar for the October term of district court at Stanley. SEEKS CHANGES IN STATE LAND LAWS Byerly Tells Rotarians Income cities. TO PLACE PERCH | IN STATE LAKES Game Department to Act on Re-' quests from All Parts of =| North Dakota Plans to place fingerling perch in number of North Dakota lakes and ponds were announced today by Bur- nie Maurek, state game and fish commissioner. The work will be done by E. T. Judd, of community post office, north of Jamestown, appointed by Maurek Could Be Increased and Efficiency Improved Urging members of the Bismarck Rotary Club to take a greater inter- est in the state land department, which he declared to be one of the state’s biggest businesses, Land Com- missioner W. E. Byerly outlined the work and problems of the depart- ment in an address at the noon luncheon today. Altogether, Byerly said, the de- partment resources total about $60,- 000,000 in real estate and money. It was given to the state by the federal government and the income goes to- ward educating the children of the state, most of it being divided among the common schools. Complications in the law make the business of the department hard to administer, Byerly said, and changes are needed if the department is to be operated on a business basis. Among his recommendations were Father and Daughter ve 3 5 the department, now limited to $3000] Hurt in Road Crash a year. He also proposed that district agents be appointed to look after the department's interests in various sec- tions of the state, just as the Bank of North Dakota is permitted to do. Originally, Byerly said, the state was allotted about 3,250,000 apres of nt land for school purposes ssriction that the value of rincipal fund should never be diminished. Of this amount 1,637,000 acres remain unsold and of the lands sold about $6,000,000 worth is unpaid for. The department has more than $22,000,000 in money or in invest- ments. The income is about $1,500,- 000 a year of which the common schools get about 90 per cent. Sales Show Profit Commenting on the operation of a law enacted at the last legislative session, Byerly said the department had sold 13,237 acres of foreclosed land under its provisions at a profit of $27,000. Recommending detailed classifica- tion of state land, Byerly said the state gets little more for leases than the price fixed by law under a very general classification because of un- derstandings between prospective bid- ders, In many cases, he said, bidding competition is eliminated by these agreements and the use of the land is allotted among a group after it is bid in at the. minimum price. In many such cases, he said, it is much cheaper to rent state land than it would be to own it, since the rentals sometimes would not pay the taxes were the property privately owned. Better classification of the land would eliminate this factor, he said, and would increase the department's income. He estimated that simple changes in the law governing the business would increase its annual revenue by $150,000 and reduce the tax bill of the people by that amount. Past presidents J. C. Taylor, Dr. R. S. Towne, George Will, B. K. Skeels, Fred Conklin and Burt Fin- ney caused considerable hilarity when Dr. George M. Constans gave them a name test in line with the Rotary education program. Myron Atkinson, Clarence Larson and Dr. L. W. Larson were named the program committee for Septem- ber. Guests were J. H. Kenyon, Syra- cuse, N. Y., Mr. Byerly and L. R. Baird, Dickinson. 60 in Attendance At Kiwanis Picnic Approximately 60 men, women and children attended the Kiwanis club picnic Tuesday evening at Ward’s grove, despite the showers.

R. Hoon, in charge of the federal labor office in the post- office building. Mr. Hoon said there appears to be little threshing in progress, al- though there are miles of unthreshed shocks in this area, He is at a loss to find the reason for this condition. The going wage, Hoon said, is $3 a day for 10 hours or 30 cents an hour, although one man obtained help at $2.50 a day. Flax cutting has not yet started, he said, and expressed the view that recent rains have helped the out- look for that crop by causing the bolls to fill. This will make some additional work for threshers later on, he said. Hoon is in charge of labor distri- bution for the federal government, in Burleigh, Mercer, Grant, Morton, Sioux, Sheridan and McLean counties, Funeral Services For Child Planned Funeral services for Ralph Frank- lin Hellickson, two, son of Mr. and Mrs, John Hellickson, 221 South Fifth street, who died late Monday of in- flammation of the intestines, will be held at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon at Webb's Funeral parlors, in charge of Rev.
