THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1933 is BATTLE OVERLAKE | TROUBLES CANADA ~ ANDULS. OFFIGALS Boundary Waters, After 35 Years, Still Piling Up Dis- putes in Court Washington, July 28—(?)—The Lake of the Woods whose waters, lapping the shores of both the United States and Canada, have for 35 years been @ source of disputes, is still piling up . controversies for the courts to decide. ‘The source of the controversies goes back to 1888, when a dam was built in the principal Canadian outlet which raised the lake’s level three feet. It was partially destroyed in 1893, low- ering the surface. In 1898 a new dam was built which raised the then level some nine inches. ii ‘The rise flooded the lowland along the United States shores. Property owners made many complaints. How- ever, official action was subject to many delays. Finally, in 1912, the Canadian and American governments directed the international joint com- mission, which has jurisdiction along the border, to investigate. Five years later it reported, recom- mending that the lake level following construction of the second dam be maintained. These recommendations, generally Speaking, were incorporated in 1925 in a treaty between the United States and Canada. A year later congress enacted the legislation under which citizens who had suffered losses due to the constantly varying shore line of the lake might obtain redress. Following negotiation of the treaty with Canada, the war department was authorized by law to acquire the necessary ground for flowage purposes ‘by condemnation or otherwise. This and the several hundred claims for damages entered by land owners pro- duced a long series of court disputes, more than 200 of which are still un- settled.

Pic- card and 180-pound Lieut.-Com. T. G. W. Settle intend to seal themselves and soar at the end of swaying ropes beneath a balloon to the height of 11 miles above the earth, they hope, some time soon to study the cosmic ray. But this 330 pounds of scientist and navigator is a mere start as to the weight that will be carried up in the sphere. Main item is a quantity of lead dust more thar? ten times the weight of the ball, or 2200 pounds, to be used in the cosmic ray measure- ments and finally disposed of as bal- last. Add to these items a radio sending and receiving set, batteries, an air-re- juvenating device, oxygen tanks, gauges, barometer, camera, a 24-hour food and drink supply, and a.battery lighting system, and you have an at- testation of the faith these stratos- Phere probers are placing in a thin shell made out of salt brine pumped from a depth of 1200 feet below the homes of the citizens in Midland, Michigan. The brine is pumped to the surface and then, like the fairy godmothers of old, Midland chemists wave their wands and behold, a liquid of appar- ent little value becomes the world’s lightest structural metal—and with it Dr, Picgard hopes to set new altitude records; spy on the cosmic ray; ob- tain valuable information which he expects will be of great value to scien- tists of the future. * ee Engineers here fashioned the metal into eight segments of a sphere, weld- ed them together, made a shiny ball, capped it top and bottom for strength, cut ten portholes fitted with optical glass, cut also two manholes for en- trance and exit, provided two “collars” so that ropes might be attached. The result is the gondola in which the scientist and his U. S. navy airman will spent 20 hours aloft, starting from the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago.

Firday the mercury leaped to 106 at Napoleon, 104 at Oakes and Hankin- son, 103 at Carrington, Jamestown, and Sanish, 102 at Bismarck, Dickin- son, Lisbon, and Fargo-Moorhead, 101 at Drake, Max, and Minot, and 100 at Dunn Center, Kenmare, Williston and Wishek. The lowest maximum was at Pembina with 92, while it was 96 at Devils Lake. The forecast was for showers to- night or Sunday and slightly cooler in the south portion tonight. O. W. Roberts, federal metorologist at Bismarck, said he looked for a break in the intense heat Saturday. Say Bolivia Plans To Use Poison Gas Geneva, Switzerland, July 29.—() —Paraguay charged Saturday that General Hans Kundt, former major general of the German imperial army during the World war and now com- mander of the Bolivian army, is pre- paring to employ poison gas in the war over the Gran Chaco territory. General Kundt is a naturalized citizen of Bolivia and reorganized the Bolivian army prior to the World war. Paraguay charged to the League of Nations that he is a mercenary de- termined to continue the Chaco war- fare. Paraguay further declared, that he has arrogated supreme pow- ers to himself and is ignoring the Bolivian government. - OFFER RETAIL CODE Washington, July 29.— (#) — Repre- sentatives of six retail dealers’ or- ganizations today brought to the re- covery administration for formal sub- mission a newly drafted composite code intended to cover all retail store lines. used by Piccard’s brother, Auguste, last summer in a stratosphere flight from Zurich, Switzerland, will supply two quarts of pure oxygen a minute. The two airmen will have a living space four feet square and about six and a half feet high. se 8 The cosmic ray instruments, housed in small boxes, will be found on the “equator” shelf. Part of it will con- sist of cosmic ray meters, one shielded by several inches of the lead dust, another unshielded, so that penetra- tion and direction of the rays may be observed. Heavy woolen under-and outer- clothing will be worn by the pair, to combat the 100 degrees sub-zero tem- perature of the stratosphere, and hot water bottles and chemical heating pads will also be taken. Profiting by who found that attraction of the sun’s rays on one side of his gondola, which he had painted black, raised the interior temperature of the ball to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, Dr. Piccard will paint the top of his gondola white to repel the rays. Two of the windows will be of spe- cial quartz glass about three inches in diameter for installation of a specto- graph, to make photographic records of the sun’s spectrum to determine the amount of ultra-violet rays. The question of ultra-violet absorption of the air will thus be answered, it is be- lieved. The lowly bean will play its part in this dramatic chapter in the his- tory of science. Piccard and Settle will take a supply of beans, canned, with other extra provisions, in case their twenty-hour drift from Chicago should land them in the wilds of Canada, where no food might be available for hours.

IDLE FANCY HELD SOURCE OF GREAT COLUMBIA PROJECT New Era for Pacific Northwest Seen as Result of Casual Proposal Spokane, Wash. July 29—(P)—A newspaper ,publisher’s desire for something new to write about and a country lawyer's obliging imagina- tion have, after 15 years, brought the Pacific northwest into a new era of development. Approval of Grande Coulee dam on the Columbia river 30 miles north- west of Coulee City, Wash., heralds victory in a long struggle between power interests of the state and en- terprising inland empire farmers and business men who have seen the great possibilities of cheap power and reclamation of some 1,200,000 acres of rich but arid land in south central Washington. In 1918 Rufus Woods, publisher of the Wenatchee Daily World, went to Ephrata to see his friend, William H. Clapp, an attorney. “Bill,” he said, “get me a good story for my paper.” “Why not build a dam at the head of Grande Coulee and turn the wa- ter of the Columbia down to Colum- bia Basin land?” replied Clapp. Woods jumped at the idea and on July 17, 1918, published the first proposal for the great project. Will Call for Bids On Light Fixtures Bids on lighting fixtures for the new North Dakota state capitol build- ing will be called for in the near fu- ture, it was announced Saturday by R. M. Rishworth of the state board of administration. Rishworth and two other members of the commission—Nelson A. Sau- vain and Mrs. Jennie Ulsrud—this week visited in St. Paul to inspect public buildings there and get detail- ed information on fixtures. Meanwhile all work on the con- struction project here is progressing at @ rapid rate, with stone work on the legislative wing climbing steadily. Stone work on the tower part of the ‘structure has been completed but work on the wing probably will require| two more weeks. < Tile fire-proofing work throughout the structure has been completed and Jathing is making good headway. Electricians and plumbers are work- ing steadily on conduits and other fixtures inside the building. To Begin Borings on Fort Peck Reservoir Kansas City, July 29.—(?)—Within 10 days surveys and borings will be- gin on the site of the proposed Fort Peck reservoir in eastern Montana, which army engineers say will insure an 8 to 9 foot channel in the Missouri river from Sioux City to the mouth. Under authorization received two weeks ago from the war department, Captain Theodore Wyman, heading the engineers on the upper Missouri, has contracted with the Longyear Exploration company of Minneapolis for the preliminary work, with stipu- Jation that activities must begin within 10 days, Colonel George R. Spalding, army corps of engineers, recently made a favorable report on the Fort Peck reservoirs as an aid to navigation, but disapproved of the project on eco- nomic grounds. He held it would cost too much in proportion to the benefits to be derived. It has been estimated the dam and other construction required for the reservoir would cost $59,000,000. J Employment Chief Football Player Ann Arbor, Mich., July 29.—(?) -—General Thomas Stevens Ham- mond, who is in charge of employ- ment*in the national industrial recovery campaign, was the “they shalt not pass sign” of University of Michigan’s point-a-minute tpospal teams in 1903, 1904, and Coach Fielding H. Yost recalls him as “one of the best offensive ,and defensive fullbacks I have ever seen, six feet tall, 195 pounds, never took time out and never was hurt.” ‘Yost says Hammond always played without protective padding because “I want them to feel my bones.” Trainer Keene Fitz- patrick made Hammond wear pads in practice, Yost said, but when it came to actual combat they were discarded. f Yesterday’s Stars | (By the Associated Press) ‘Wes Schulmerich, Phillies — Hit homer, triple and single; scored four xuns against Braves.
