They were optimistic regarding prospects of @ record-breaking district convep- tion for the Lions to be held here next June as the result of informa- tion gleaned on their trip. About 20 members of the local club participat- ed in the Hettinger meeting. Other delegations were present from Beach, Dickinson, Bowman Haynes, Mott, Glen Ullin, Hebron and other North Dakota cities as well as from Lemmon, Aberdeen and Yank- ton, 8. D. The attendance at the banquet Tuesday night, arranged by members of the Hettinger Lions club, exceeded 250. G. F.

Murray Al- Jan, Grand Forks, Lions district gov- ernor for North Dakota; Newton L. Haney, Sioux Falls, Lions district governor for South Dakota, and 8. P. Rigler, Hebron, former North Dakota district governor. Stress Cooperation Each spoke upon the value of Lion activities in any community and the necessity of cooperation on the part of every constructive element in every community to meet the problems which present conditions have cre- ated. Allan spoke in the afternoon before ® meeting of the Farmers’ Holiday as- sociation which was being held in Hettinger concurrently with the Lions meeting, stressing the spirit of coop- eration which prevails between farm- ers and city dwellers. Mandan was selected as host city for the next zone meeting at a time to ke announced later.

Buffington, Choice of Hughes, Was Selected duly 10, 1883 Editor’s Note: This is another in a series of articles written for The Associated Press by Burleigh F. Spalding of Fargo, a member of the commission which located and constructed the capital of Dakota Territory at Bismarck. By B. F. SPALDING In the meantime the commission advertised for plans for the building. They were to be submitted free of ex- pense to the commission, and July 6, 1883, plans and specifications were Presented by architects as follows: F. B. Long & Co. of Minneapolis of- fered services for making drawings and specifications ready for letting contracts for $5,000, and for superin- tendance 2'; per cent additionaf and $25 per day for attendance. W. Brad- ley of Jamestown, Dakota Territory, proposed to duplicate the Minnesota capitol building for the sum of $597,- 000; W. R. McPherson of Omaha sub- mitted plans for building to cost $292,000, and offered services for 312 per cent of cost of building; Knight & Castner of St. Paul submitted two plans, either one to cost $308,000 and offered services for 5 per cent of the cost of building. Caulkins & Telford of Minneapolis, Minn., showed plans for building toy cost $300,000, and offered services for | 3 per cent of cost of construction; W. L. Dow of Sioux Falls had no plans but offered to build like capi-/ tol building at Concord, N. H., to cost | not exceeding $300,000 for 2's per cent of cost; L. S. Buffington of Min- neapolis showed a pencil sketch of a building similar to the capitol at St. Paul and offered to make plans and specifications and superintend con- struction of the building for 3 per cent of cost. Additional Plans Submitted At an adjourned meeting held on the 10th day of July additional plans, details and specifications were sub- mitted by McPherson, Caulkins, Cast- ner and Buffington. Buffington had been the architect of what was then the new capitol of Minnesota, and lalas, for | hopes! many thousands of dollars were wast- ed in following incongruous and un- sightly plans for enlarging the build- ing. : Bids were called for the construc- tion of the capitol and on Aug. 17, 1883, the contract was let to Charles W. Thompson é& Co. of Bismarck. Brick Presented Problem Serious question arose as to the brick which should be used in the building, and especially for its facing. There were one or two small brick yards near Bismarck, but their capac- ity was limited and they did not man- ufacture pressed brick. A resident of Bismarck, named Thompson, had just started a brick; yard at Sims. It was only a few yards south of the railroad tracks and a remarkable condition existed. He had within the space of a few hundred feet, brick, clay, coal for burning the brick, sand to mix with the clay, and water for all purposes. He had put in machinery for making pressed and other brick and sought to sell the commission the brick which should be used in the erection of the build- ing. Some of the commission were very enthusiastic on the subject and thought that wonderful things would result. Accordingly, we were furnished a special train and visited Sims and in- spected the site and plant. We found everything there that had been men- tioned and reports were made by ex- perts to the effect that the clay would make a superior quality of brick. Ac- cordingly, most of the brick, includ- ing the facing of the part of the building then constructed, wks fur- nished by the Sims brick yard. But, human aspirations and It developed that the clay contained minute particles of lime and the brick made from it had not long been exposed to the weather before small spots crumbled, leaving the surface of the building quite unsight- ly, and seriously affecting the struc- ture.

All etter IMAHATMA STUDIES COMPROMISE PLAN DRAWN BY FRIENDS Belief Is Expressed That Gand- hi's Hunger Strike Will End Soon Poona, Sept. 21—()—A group of In- dian politicai leaders from Bombay visited Mahatma Gandhi in his cell at Yeroda jail Wednesday and sub- mitted to him a plan for a comprom- ise on the communal elections ques- tion they hoped would end the hung- er strike he began Tuesday. ‘They spent two hours closeted with the Mahatma and when they left, al- though no formal statement was made, the belief was expressed Gand- ing fast would be ended before many lays, The committee included his son, Devidas, Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru and | | M. Jayakar. The Mahatma was up early and showed little effect from his abstinence, which began at noon Tuesday. The plan presented to him embraced & suggestion for joint elections, with proper safeguards for the Untouch- ables, in whose interest he began the death fast. His fast is in protest against the electoral system recently drafted by the British cabinet and announced by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald. Gandhi contends this plan would con- tinue the great gulf which separates the Untouchables from the other com- munities in Indian life. As he began the fast which he ex- Pects to end in death from starvation unless a solution is reached, the Ma- hatma smilingly announced he had been appointed superintendent of the bakery in the prison. But he became ill from the press of friends who called to see him at the prison as soon as the government lifted the ban which has barred visit- tors from the jail since he was im- prisoned last January. On the ad- vice of his physicians he turned away many callers. After a few days, he said, he ex- pected the desire for food to vanish and he then expected to prolong his life as much as possible by drinking water.

Under no circumstances would I consider remaining in the state capitol with Mr. Langer, for our ideals of government are in no way |in accord.” At Grand Forks, Langer declared there would be a housecleaning if he jis elected governor, mentioning Byer- jly along with John Gammons, secre- tary of the industrial commission, Attorney George Bangs of Grand Forks who is chairman of the capitol building commission, and others he designated as “running the state.” “Of course it should be understood that Mr. Langer is taking in consid- erable territory in his promises,” said Byerly. “The governor is one of five members of the university and school lands board. While he serves as |chairman, I assume that other mem- | bers of the board will have something to say about who serves as commis- stoner.” “How well I have served the state and how fair this department has been during the crisis in dealing with |farmers of North Dakota may be gleaned by resolutions which have ‘been adopted by many farmer groups ‘and by letters which have been pub- lished in the press. “But Mr. Langer and I will never agree on the functions of public of- ficials and I will never compromise the principles for which I, and other Independents of the state, have | stood.” | Foreigners Enter Women’s Golf Meet New York, Sept. 21—(#)—Two Eng- ‘lishwomen and three Canadians fur- nish a strong international flavor to Minot, N.

Harding Rites to Be Held Thursday Funeral services for Mrs, George Harding, who died Sunday from burns sustained when her clothes caught fire in the kitchen of her home rear Sterling,.will be held at the Perry Funeral Parlors at 1 p. m. Thursday. Burial services will be held at the Sterling cemetery at 3:30 p. m. Thurs- day. Mrs. Harding was fatally burned Aug. 13 when her dress caught fire while she was attempting to light a gasoline stove in her home 11 miles north of Sterling. With Mrs. Harding in the kitchen at the time of the ac- cident was her daughter, Florence, ‘who rushed to her mother's aid. A second daughter, Emma, who was up- stairs, and Mr. Harding, who was working in a corral nearby, also came to her assistance. Together the three managed to extinguish Mrs. Hard- » ing's flaming clothes. Later they succeeded in putting out the fire in the kitchen, Emma sus- tained lacerations on the hand when she attempted to save household goods by throwing them out of the window. Help was summoned from Sterling by telephone, Hallie Belk taking Mrs. Harding to a Bismarck hospital. ‘A son, Eli Harding, was working {n the fields at the time of the tragedy.

Strange But True News Items of Day (By The Associated Press) Ottawa—Alderman Brethour be- lieves in economy, and also is subject to moments of disgust. When his ef- fort to halt the appointment of five new officials to the engineering de- Partment failed, he moved the adop- tion of the following resolution: “It is recommended that the board of control purchase five French poodles complete with collar and chain, so that the appointed officials may ‘amuse themselves by taking the dogs for a daily walk.” Reigate, i—Fathers can to the Buffington plan, and so there might be no uncertainty on the sub- ject a conveyance was sent to the river to bring him back to cast his ‘00 | vote, but before a ballot was cast, as often happens on such occasions, 00} some of the commissioners who had 00;been most strenuously opposed to Buffington’s plans yielded to the per- “Resolved: That the plans and specifications similar to those under which the capitol buildings at St. Paul, Minnesota, were erected, be adopted, with such modifications as shall make the exterior much more imposing, and reduce the cost of the portions finished to the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand ($250,- 000) dolla “Resolved: That L. S. Buffington be selected as supervising architect, and W. L. Dow as assistant architect and inspector, provided: That an agreement be made between them to} the effect that their combined com- missions and compensations for plans and supervision shall not exceed three (3) per cent of the cost of the build- ings erected under their supervision.” A motion was made for its adop- tion. An amendment was offered to substitute. Knight and Castner for Buffington. The amendment was lost and the Buffington resolution adopted. The plans adopted were for a com- plete building with its different parts harmonious. It was recognized that the $100,000 would not go far toward completing it so it was determined to build the central portion which would furnish the space then needed and at the same time serve as the founda- tion for a mammoth tower and for wings in different directions to be later erected. This accounts for the massive structure of the old portion of the capitol. Unfortunately, no sub- sequent legislature made provision for building additional units or wings as. contemplated by the plans. The re- sult was that additions made from time to time were wholly out of har- mony with the original plans and | til the freeze-up.

Under present rutes the lawn rate; is the monthly average for the win- ter months, plus an arbitrary of 300 cubic feet added by the city on the theory that non-lawn use of water is increased in summer. If water is used on lawns in Octo- ber at the non-lawn rate, it means that this average will be increased for 1933 by the large amount of water used in October. The effect will be to increase the lawn rate for 1933 to the property owner who seeks to protect his home plantings this fall. Many property owners are hopeful that the lawn rate will be extended throughout October. M. A. C. feditor's Note: This idea seems sound. See editorial page.
