__THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1933 NRA COMMITTEE 10 CHECK CITY MONDAY Subcommittees Appointed Sat- urday to See That Agree- ment Is Observed ‘A drive to induce every business in Bismarck to join the N. R. A. movement will be started Monday. ‘The National Recovery survey com- mittee, including Mayor A. P. Len- hart, chairman; Obert A. Olson, R. A. Middaugh, J. L. Barth, G. A. Dah- Jen, L. Griffiths and E. B. Klein, met Saturday morning and completed plans for a thorough check-up of bus- iness places in the city. The committee divided the city in- to 20 districts and appointed sub- committees tor each district who will call on business places Monday and see if they are joining the national recovery movement. It is the wish of the general com- mittee that every business join in co- operating with the national govern- ment in its effort to speed business recovery. No business is too small to assist and while all codes governing the N, R. A. may not be decided up- on, the details of the codes will be settled later. The committee feels that it is im- portant that action should be taken immediately and hope to find every concern in the city complying with the provisions of the act when the survey is made Monday.

There is no mystery behind the sudden decision of the Bank of North Dakota to abandon its plan for using federal poor-relief money to finance state-owned farms and no mystery about. the way it got into trouble, Announcement of the proposal was made in “The Leader” as a news oop.” The project was hailed as a fine thing and a part of the “new deal” in state affairs. “The Leader” tied it up directly with the adminis- tration. Other newspapers said little or nothing about it. But several things happened in quick succession, some of them pub- licly. Laboring men wrote letters to their regular newspapers scoring the plan. The state unemployed council passed a stirring resolution, asking Governor Langer to stop operation of the plan or resign. This its executive paper by telling them he was not responsible for the proposal. The “un- employed” then blamed misinformation in The Leader for putting them on the wrong track, Behind the scenes the Bismarck Trades and Labor Assembly held heated debate on the question, advised its sponsors that they were opposed to it. | This carried more weight than the public pronouncements. | The reason for labor's attitude was that the plan would eliminate po- tential jobs for tradesmen not on the relief rolls. MR. THOMPSON IN THE BLOODHOUND ROLE The inside dope is that Arthur E. Thompson, superintendent of public instruction, member of the board of administration and member of the state capitol commission, is acting as a sort of human bloodhound in his efforts to find out the interior workings of each group. Membership of the two boards is identical, with three persons giving | their full time to the work. Thompson and Commissioner of Agriculture j Husby have elective offices to fill and the three appointive members took | it upon themselves to do certain things without consulting them. Thomp- son objected. His position is that he is one of five members and carries one-fifth of the responsibility. Hence his various moves to bring the facts of all transactions to the light of day. Most unpleasant of his moves to some individuals was the resolution directing full publicity for all actions of the capitol commission. Every member voted for it. No one dared do anything else, though some did not welcome it. The action brought happiness to Frank Anders, capitol commission secretary. It had been unpleasant for him to sidestep questions, equally unpleasant to have it insinuated that he was giving too much information to the public when he did talk. Behind Thompson's activities lies the announced intention of keeping his own record straight. There is much talk about another investigation of the capitol business at some future date. Thompson wants the record to show that, if anything should prove to be wrong, he was not a party to it. Husby is in the same position. MR. NUTTER AS THE CHIEF RABBIT Chief rabbit in this hunt is Frank Nutter, envoy extraordinary to North Dakota’s state government from the Pillsbury Engineering company, Minneapolis. His was one of the first hot scents Thompson struck when he took the trail. This accounts for the challenge to one of his bills in the board of administration and the attempt to fire the Pillsbury firm from its job in connection with the capitol building. Nutter doesn’t like it a bit, is really perturbed. That there is any~ thing wrong about the Pillsbury company’s connection with various branches of the state government apparently cannot be proved now but the hunt goes forward in full cry. Rabbit Nutter now finds himself stripped of the veil of mystery which puzzled so many legislators last winter. More is known about him now than was the case when he lived in a local hotel with only a few persons knowing he was there, had his meals served in his room to avoid attract- ing attention, rode up and down on the freight elevator rather than use the regular means of vertical conveyance. ‘That was just after Nuttef had written and rewritten the gubernatorial inaugural address for William Langer, then sick in a hospital. It followed by only a short time a “survey” of state institutions made for the governor to see how expenses could be reduced. The results of this survey, which some institutional heads claimed was very sketchy, were the basis for the governor's economy recommendations. Nutter, who has done some work for the board of administration for several years, made no secret of his desire to profit by his connection with the new powers. He's cast in the rabbit role now because many people, in- cluding Thompson, would like to know just how much he has profited. ‘The facts probably will come to light one of these days. EVERYONE IS SATISFIED NOW Something of an “on again, off again” proposition was the recent ac- tion of the attorney general's department in saying building and loan mortgages, then saying they could. In the background lurks the fact that building and loan associations are being pestered by persons having loans from them to accept the bonds in satisfaction of the loans, thereby permitting the borrowers to get a lower rate of interest from the government. If they followed this practice the building and loan associations would soon go out of business, have only federal bonds as assets. Some of them liked the first ruling that they could not accept the bonds because of a state law governing their operations. It took them off the fire. Others wanted more discretion in the matter and asked for an- other opinion. They were satisfied by the change. Most building and loan associations tentatively have decided not to accept bonds in cases where the loans are in good standing or where the borrower has a good chance of pulling through, particularly if the security seems good. DALE SELLS A CAT IN A SACK State Treasurer Alfred 8. Dale is chuckling quietly these days about his deal with Frank Vogel, major domo of the administration, whereby he sold “The Progressive” to “The Leader” in order that the latter might have its postal privileges under the federal law. He got the bills of “The Progressive” paid and reserved most of its circulation. “The Leader” got experience and few practical benefits. The reason is that “The Progressive” was a semi-monthly publication, “The Leader” a weekly. Different mailing regulations apply and the postal permit was unusable after all. AS a result The Leader has been sent out in bundles, distributed in many communities as a “give-away” proposition. It published 10,000 in its first Week, 7,500 the second week, 10,000 the third week and 12,000 the fourth week. The money is coming in from persons on the state payroll z who could be fired by Langer. Payrollers are having trouble selling the subscriptions at $1 each as they are “pérmitted” to do. Many have sent in lists of names to make He their bosses believe they have sold the subscriptions. HIGH COST OF INDECISION How much it costs the state when public officials are unsure of their minds is proved by the capitol commission. When they were talking about economy in capital letters they decided to save money by cutting elevators in the building from four to two. All the machinery was on the ground so two elevators were shipped back to the manufacturer. have a third elevator after all. One of those which had been sent back was recalled from Duluth. The state paid about $600 in extra freight charges. Boilers for the building ran the same gauntlet. The architects provided ‘There isn’t so much talk about economy now. by many of causing the being leveled at him. Western Land Probe Attacked by Norbeck commission's indecision.

C., where he hopes to take President Roosevelt for a ride in his dog sledge, left Bis- marck early Saturday morning. With his eight “huskies,” an Alas- kan companion, and his brother, he camped at the Bismarck tourist park while a trailer was built to provide Sleeping quarters for the party. To date “Slim” and his dogs have covered more than 3,700 miles, 900 miles of which was done on snowshoes For months at a time he was out of touch with civilization, finding his way across sleeping under the stars.

Since he travel- ed light, his food was mainly wild game, augmented with flour, tea and beans. | Leaving Copper Center Nov. 20, 1932, he ate Christmas dinner in Dawson with a company of 62 men, all mem- bers of the Yukon Pioneer's associa- tion. All have been residents of Alas- ka for 32 years or more. His route took him from Dawson southward to White Horse and thence to Atlin, south to Telegraph Creek and to Hazelton, B. C. From Telegraph Creek to Hazelton he charted his course by the stars, choosing a new and shorter route through hundreds of miles of unin- |habited country abounding in wild Passes where few white men have) ‘00 | crossed, breasting swift rivers and game. On this leg of the journey he discovered a lake 20 miles long and about 10 miles wide, not charted on any map. Passes through the row of ranges were easily accessible and at no time between Dawson and Hazelton was he out of timbered country, indicating Jackson, Wyo., Aug. 12—(?)—Sena- tor Peter Norbeck (Rep., 8. D.) term- ed the senate land committee’s in- vestigation of the Rockefeller Jack- son hole plan “an outrageous n= diture of funds” as the committee closed a four-day hearing Friday. “It's a political football and it cost $5,000 to run down these unfounded rumors,” asserted Norbeck, who said he was ill. Senator Gerald P. Nye, (Rep., N. D.), chairman of the committee, is- sued a statement in which he said the hearing had not disclosed to him any evidence of unfair dealing by agents of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. GUSTIE TO COACH EPPING Epping, N. D., Aug. 12.—(%)—Gus Lindblom of Moorhead, Minn., who has letters from Gustavus Adolphus college in football, basketball, track and baseball, has been added to the faculty of the high school here to teach mathematics and science, in ad- dition to coaching. The school will open Sept. 4. A beetle wrecked a plane at Cli- max, Michigan, in 1931, when it be- came lodged in the gas line, Dickinson, N.

Plans call for construction of a $160,000 building, with funds secured through the bond issue supplementing a@ 30 per cent grant of the govern- ment under the public works act. The new structure would accommodate a student enrollment of 500. YELLOW RIVER RISES Hankow, China, Aug. 12—()—The Yellow river, continuing its rise, threatens to wipe out the population of Szehsul, Chinese advices from Chengchow say. At this town, lo- cated on the south bank of the river 50 miles west of Chengchow, the pop- ulace closed the city gates when the floods came.

Route For Highway This fact alone proves that his route may be feasible for an interna- tional highway to Alaska, connecting with the one which runs northward from the Washington line to Hazel- ton, he said. It is for the purpose of creating interest in this projected highway that he is making the trip to Washington, as a representative of the International Highway associa- tion of Yukon. He carries messages from the association and from the territorial representative in congress to officials in the national capitol. “Slim” hopes to talk to officials in charge of federal road construction work and show them the advantages of such a highway, which he says Would shorten the inland route to Alaska by hundreds of miles and offer opportunity for commercial enterprise as well as opening Alaska to tourists, Since crossing into the United States at Nighthawk, Wash. Slim has traveled by slow stages eastward on highway No. 10 and he plans to con- tinue from here to Chicago. Meeta “Salvation Jim” At Hazelton he was joined by an- other Alaskan “sourdough,” known. there as “Salvation Jim,” who ts one of the characters in Robert Service’s novel, “The Trail of ’98.” Coming to Alaska in 1907 over White Horse Pass, as a Salvation Army worker, he later preached at the Methodist church in Dawson, although he never was or- dained. A few months in this teeming min- ing camp convinced “Salvation Jim” that he'd rather “go to hell with real men, than to heaven with a bunch of hypocrites” and he gave up preaching for gold mining, following the stam- Peders on “gold strikes,” he said. After a few years he came “outside” and finally in 1911 “struck it rich” on. Vancouver Island. He sold his prop- erties there in 1914, but the urge to search for gold still spurs him on and ‘Thursday he did a bit of prospecting in a gravel pit near Bismarck. World War Veteran “Salvation Jim,” whose real name is Andrew D. Wooler, was 72 his last birthday but doesn’t look a day over 60. He wears a Canadian service button which proclaims that he served in the World war with the 121st batal- lion. He regrets that he was in no active fighting and boasts that the army turned him down six times be- fore he learned to lie well enough to Leveingoad @ recruiting officer to enlist Accompanying the two men and their team of huskies eastward from Spokane has been “Slim's” brother, F. G. Williams of Fresno, Calif., who travels ahead by car, carrying camp- ing supplies and food for the dogs. Most of the travel is by night or early in the morning because of the heat, and-the dogs are pushed rapidly for about four hours. In this fashion he has averaged about 15 miles a night. Freezes Lungs Tall, bronzed, and full of vitality “Slim” is a representative of the real “sourdoughs” whose exploits in the gold rush days have filled Alaska’s history. He has lived in Alaska since 1901, following the gold rushes for 15 years and making a “strike” more than once. At odd times he has been a trapper and a mail carrier. Once on a trip with the thermome- ter hovering at 72 degrees below zero, he froze his throat and lungs, an ac- cident which has left his voice per- manently husky and which kept him indoors for months. When the trip to Washington is over, he will re- turn to Alaska, shipping the dogs and making as much of the journey as Possible by car. Building-Loan Group To Meet at Dickinson Dickinson, N.
