AS’ a consequence the project, which has been advertised for let- ting next Friday, Oct. 20, by the highway department, will not be contracted for, although bids will be received. The commission will meet with Highway Commissioner Frank Vogel and H. J. Taylor, chief engi- heer for the Federal Bureau of Public Roads, as soon as possible and try to reach an agreement whereby they the government will re-surface the street with an asphalt covering, it ‘being pointed out that the street | has been paved for 17 years and wili soon need resurfacing. The commis- sion felt the ‘city would not be get- ting much for its money if it agreed to maintain the street in its present condition. Lenhart, Wachter Outspoken Mayor A, P. Lenhart and Com- missioner Paul Wachter were espe- |ctally outspoken in their dissatisfac- ition with the progress made by the jhighway department in letting the project and with its attitude on} other projects. They said the city commission had been led to believe! work would be started during the late summer or early fall so that a! big crew of men could be put to| work before winter set in, thereby taking them off the relief rolls of the! county and city. They said the plans| had been in the hands of the de-| partment since July 12 and they felt | that four months was a long time in which to get action. The resur- facing: of the street was included in the plans filed with the department they said, but the first notice they had that the resurfacing was not in- cluded in the specifications prepared and approved by t) highway de- partment and the bureau of public roads was when they saw the ad- vertisement for bids in the news- papers. Wachter said he was of the opin- fon that the highway department was not playing fair with the city and that it was holding out on the amount of money alloted to Bis- marck by the United States govern- ment 80 that the state could charge the paving of the loop on the capitol grounds against the allotment allow- ed the city.

With the peak season for the in- dustry approacing, the operators are anxious to maintain production, they said. Delay in drawing up the NRA code for the state mines is blamed by both miners and operators at Dickinson. Until the code has been adopted, op- erators say, they cannot pay higher | wages because of price competition from the small strip mines in the vicinity. The miners issued their ultimatum ty the operators Oct. 1, demanding 50 cents per car of coal mined by Oct. 15. They have been .receiving 40 cents. Average production per man is 10 to 12 cars.per day. Expenses for supplies and equipment, operators say, reduce their profits per car to about 26 cents.

A delegation of North Dakotans representing the Missouri River Di- version association conferred Monday with former Gov. A. J. Weaver of Ne- braska, president of the Missouri River Navigation association and Prominent backer of the Fort Peck project. Senator Nye (Rep.. N. D.) called on Colonel Henry M. Waite, deputy pub- lic works administrator, to learn what effect the Fort Peck allotment might have on the diversion project, since the Garrison dam is down the river from Port Peck. Backers of the Garrison dam pro- Ject point out that the Yellowstone, Milk and Little Missouri rivers empty into the Missouri below Fort Peck, which they say constitutes a flood control problem the approved project cannot solve. Would Raise Water Level Their chief justification for gov- ernment expenditures of $65,000,000 on Missouri river diversion is that it would raise the sub-surface water levels in regions of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota, and thus alleviate drought. Flood con- trol and navigation, however, are also claimed as merits of the project. A complete report of engineers for the diversion program is to be pre- sented to the public works adminis- tration this week. That report, said the North Dako- tans, “declares the project at Garri- son to be vital to the Dakotas and the only feasible means of drought relief as well as a complete and ef- fective method of controlling the two annual floods on the Missouri river.” 8. W. Thompson, president of the Diversion association, said “the ex- cellent contributions to navigation found in other proposals leave en- tirely out of the question the acute Proponents said the approval of the Fort Peck Project “improves our chances, be- cause if they approved that proposi- tion they can’t turn down ours.” « Capitol Commission Numerous bids for contracts on electric fixtures floor covering for the new North Dakota capitol | stitutional. | thing could be done in Nebraska, he Langer Waits Embargo Reaction Europe’s Statesmen Ponder Threat to Peace . Their Marital Harmony Is Off ‘Key IS NOT SURE HOW LONG ORDER WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT | Says Reaction of Other States Will Determine His Course in Matter NEBRASKA OFFICIAL COOL Attorney General of Big Wheat State Declares Action Is Unconstitutional Having proclaimed a state embargo on wheat shipments late Monday. Governor William Langer Tuesday waited to see what support other states would give the movement. First reactions came from Minne- sota and Nebraska, both spring wheat states. At St. Paul, Gov. Floyd B. Olson commended Langer’s daring but doubted if it would do much good because of tremendous stocks of wheat elsewhere in the nation. At Lincoln, Neb., Gov. C. W. Bryan refused to comment but Attorney General Paul Good said the North Dakota embargo was clearly uncon- ‘The only way such a id. was under the state’s police power and for the preservation df | order. At. Pierre, 8. D., Governor Tom Berry said he would not declare an embargo on wheat in that state. Gov. Clyde L. Herring of Iowa took the same position. | The grain trade generally took lit- . ‘tle notice of the movement, dealers jin Minneapolis refusing to comment. Prices dropped at the opening of all markets but rallied sharply later +when the government entered the {market to buy wheat for the poor. | Market dispatches took no notice of the North Dakota embargo. Duration Is Indefinite Governor Langer said the time during which the embargo will re- main in force depends on the reac- tion of other states and that it would not be lifted to permit the govern- ment to buy North Dakota wheat. At St. Paul, attorneys for railroads were consulting with a view to de- termniing what action they might take to attack the order in the courts. Decision was expected Wednesday. Indications were that a court test will be made. At some terminals wheat receipts were larger Tuesday but this was not. attributed to fear of the embargo since most cars were billed out before the governor's intentions became known. The adjutant general’s office here has made no preparations to enforce the embargo and has received no or- ders on the subject, although the governor said he intends to use the militia to prevent grain shipments. Effective at Midnight Orders not to receiye grain for in- terstate shipment have been sent to the railroads, effective at 12:01 o'clock Thursday morning. The governor said frankly he does not look for the embargo to “work miracles,” but that he hoped it would “place graphically before the Amer- ican people the plight of the grain farmer,” and cause the national re- covery administration “to realize that the ‘new deal’ has not reached the farmer.” " The governor changed his origina) plan which called for issuance of two Proclamations, one to halt shipment of amber durum wheat, used prin- cipally for making macaroni and spa- ghetti, and the other to stop ship- ment of hard spring wheat, rated as the “best in the world” for flour mak- ing, and instead issued one proclama- tion covering all wheat shipments. 70 Per Cent on Farm Federal statistics estimate wheat stocks on North Dakota farms as of October 1 total 43,886,000 bushels, or 70 per cent of the 62,695,000 bushels produced in the state this year. North Dakota this year produced about 12.2
