GAS DISTRIBUTION CHANGE COMPLETED Operation of Artificial Gas Plant Suspended; Building to Be Used as Warehouse Bismarck’s gas day celebration got under way today simultaneously with the introduction of natural gas serv- ice to all of the homes in Bismarck. James Trimble, district manager forthe Montana-Dakota Power com- pany, announced this morning that the work of completing the change- over from artificial to natural gas would be completed in all homes in the city by tonight. Operation of the artificial gas plant, which has supplied Bismarck with fuel for many years, was sus- pended Friday and Trimble said to- day that the plant will be dismantled. The building will be used as a ware- house. Completion of the program for the gas day fete, which is being sponsored by the company, was made with the announcement that State Sen- ator Frank Ployhar, Valley City; Mayor A. P. Lenhart and H. P. God- dard, secretary of the Association of Commerce, would be the speakers to- night at a free entertainment. They will talk from a platform which was erected in front of the postoffice today, and their speeches will be limited to about five minutes each. Other items on the program includ- ed a parade of gas company employes and their families this afternoon, open house at the gas company’s sales office on Third street, a band concert at 2:30 o'clock in front of the Postoffice, another band concert at 7:30, to be followed by the speaking program, and a free street dance to last from 9 until 12. The dance will be illuminated by gas torches which were placed along Broadway today. Each is 12 feet high. In addition a huge gas torch, about 40 feet high, was placed in front of the platform on which the band will be.placed. This will be lit by a torch on the end of a pole, rather than by the explosion of fire- crackers as was first announced. It was explained by company officials that its experience with the fire- cracker method of lighting the torch had not been altogether favorable. ‘The method to be used has the ad- vantage of not alarming anyone when the torch ignites. ‘The Montana-Dakota company was to be host to city officials and its department heads at a dinner to- night at the Patterson hotel. Although the work of making the change-over from artificial to natur- al gas will be completed tonight, ‘Trimble said, not all of the gas-burn- ing equipment in the homes of the city has been adjusted to the new fuel.

Such storms, wether they be the typhoons of the far east, the cyclon of the Bay of Bengal, or the hurri- canes of the South Pacific or the West Indies, are alike, “AN of you,” Mitchell said, “doubt- less have experienced a state of mind own as the ‘doldrums’, when there is a sort of sense of depression with variable decisions that lacked force and permanence. “There is an area called the dol- drum over the Atlantic ocean north of the equator, between South Am- erica and Africa, that moves north- ward and southward with the sun. and in this belt there is a slight depression of the barometer, the winds are light and variable as a d local thunderstorms of the fternoon conventional type er ‘frequent. “When the ‘doldrums’ are near the equator. nothing . because earth’s ro- happe: the deflective force of the equipment before the advent of na- tural gas. Weather Chief Declares Hurricanes Are Result of Doldrums on Ocean tation, necessary to begin a cyclonic storm, is so near zero that storms cannot originate. “But in late summer and early autumn, the ‘doldrums’ move near to the Cape Verde Islands, and the de- flective force is quite sufficient to indicate a cyclonic circulation,” Mit- chell said. Then, “by some so-called ‘trigger’ action which is not thoroughly understood, a cyclonic circulation” is set up, the forecaster aid. Once started, the storms gain vio- lence, and the usual West Indies dis- turbance moves slightly north and east to west at 12 to 14 miles an hour. It is probable that in some tornadoes “the wind attains a veloc- ity of 300 to 400 miles an hour over an exceedingly small area.” The highest wind reported in a hurri- cane was that which struck Porto Rico in 1928 with an estimated veloc- ity of about 200 miles an hour. Mitchell said records showed 84 hurricanes had touched the United States coast between Cape Hatteras and the Rio Grande in the last 50 years but only 16 of these could be called “great.” He estimated prop- erty doss from hurricanes on the Guif coast. including Florida. within the lest 15 vears had been more than $150,000,000. gentina ARMY AND NAVY MEN JOIN IN DEMANDING THAT IRIGOYEN QUIT Air Officer Killed for Refusing to Join in New Insurrec- tion POWER IS DELEGATED Both Friends and Foes Join in Request That President Step Out Entirely (Copyright 1930, and all rights re- served by The Associated Press.)
