Se CHRISTMAS BUYING BEST SINCE 1999 REVIEW DECLARRS Oun and Bradstreet Sees New Stimulus in Demand for Cold-Weather Goods —__. New York, Dec. 29.—(P}—Following the best volume of Christmas buying since 1928 in many districts, business ‘was further stimulated in the last ‘week by fresh merchandise demands incident to the widespread wintry weather, Dun & Bradstreet said in | their weekly review of trade Friday. Most of the reports received during the week, asserted the review, stressed the substantial gains of most trade branches over their comparative fig. Ures of 1932. “Cheerfulness over the outlook,” sald the report, “is especially marked in country districts where the steady -tlow of checks to farmers cooperating ie the ae in he crop adjustment, program has pushed bu: ahead. Bates “Largely disregarding seasonal in- fluences, the leading industrial indices Gisplay a heartening stability for the close of the year. The lull in the re. tail buying which usually sets in im- mediately following Christmas was| not marked this year. Sales of tex- tiles were stimulated by the special offerings of sheets, pillow-cases, table iinens and towels, but the greater vol- wme centered“on the regular lines of women's coats and dresses. “With retailers’ sales larger than ex: pected during the post-Christmas stocks increased orders received by wholesalers for immediate shipment of ready-to-wear clothing, winter sports goods, automobile accessories, foodstuffs and many items in the sta- ble dry goods line.” Senators Organized For Silver Contest Washington, Dec. 29—(?)—An in- tensive campaign for remonetization of silver was assured Friday when 27 senators went on record for free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver, Eigteen’ senators, 14 Democrats, 3 Republicans and one Farmer-Labor— attended a conference called by Sen- ator Wheeler (Dem., Mont.), a 16 to 1 bi-metallism advocate, and unanim- ously adopted the following resolu- tion: “We favor bi-metallism—the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at a ratio to be established by law,” Nine other senators, eight Demo- crats, and one Republican, sent word to the meeting they were for the proposition. Wheeler, announcing the results of the conference to newspapermen, said he would introduce his bill for re- monetization of silver at a ratio of 16 19 1 with gold on the opening day of congress, He predicted the senate would ap- mrove the proposal and the house would follow suit if a vote could be obtained in that body. Eagle Scouts to Have Reunion Friday Night Nineteen youths are expected to at- tend a reunion of Bismarck Eagle Scouts here Friday evening, according to Paul O. Netland, Boy Scout execu- tive. The program will be held at The Inn, beginning at 7 o'clock. A two- course dinner will be served. Several Eagle scouts who have been out of the city attending school are home now enjoying Christmas vaca- tions and expect to attend and re- minisce over past scouting experiences, Nearly 200 persons attended the court of honor program at the World War Memorial building, at which nearly a score of scouts received ad- vancement awards. Scoutmaster Robert Byrne became the first in Bismarck to receive his scoutmaster's key. The attendance prize went to Troop No. 6, sponsored by the Presbyterian church, of which Torolf Johanson is | SAYS PIONEE ee ® * [Predicts River Diversion Success Editor's Note: Confidence in the future of North Dakota and in eventual ac- ceptance by the government of the Missouri Diversion Project is expressed by Thomas H. Moodie, & member of the state public | Works board and editor of the | Williston Herald, in an article | written for his newspaper at the | time the project was inspected by Major Fleming, representing the Public works administration. Moodie, a natural-born enthus- jast, once was managing editor of the Tribune and is well known here. He has worked on many newspapers, including some of the biggest in the country. For sev- eral years, before going to Wil- liston, he was editorial writer for the Minneapolis Tribune. | _ From a background of personal | adventure and wide experience he | draws the following word-picture | of the scene at the Big Bend of ; the Missouri when the inspection | Was being made. By THOMAS H. MOODIE There was a colorful picture last Friday evening at the big bend of the Missouri river 12 miles southwest of Garrison, site of the proposed main control dam of the great Missouri riv- |er diversion project. It was as though ithe Book of Time in North Dakota |was being opened at a new, fresh |Page. It was as though the same book |closed on the pioneer development era. | Few of those who saw this picture will ever forget it, for-it was not without impressive drama. Over the river, week, the substantial reduction of |down to the entrance of Snake creek, {which is the first diversion unit by |which water from the Missouri will ‘he turned into a course which will {take it both to the Gulf of Mexico and Hudson's bay, droned an airplane, \piloted by a prairie pioneer who uses ‘it to hunt coyotes. In its cockpit was @ great army engineer, international- ly known, West Point man, student \there in the days when General Hugh 'Scott, well loved in this west, was ‘head of the great army school. A |most personable and kindly man was |this engineer looking through binocu- lars to see for himself the terrain up- on which mere man will undertake, probably within a short time, one of the greatest engineering projects in | American history. They Felt Big Moment | It was a pleasant evening. On the |Mercer county side of the river were Igathered fully 150 automobiles. They \had come to the foothills below the old Fort Stevenson military reserva- tion over greasy gumbo roads, because they felt this was a big moment, \carrying for them both new hope and ‘the high romance that is all too of- ten never visualized in the march of |modern progress. The river valley is point. dows mantled the trees and under- painted desert in Arizona to the long | reaches of the Upper Missouri where the pine forests come down to stand jby the banks of a strong, by mountain snows. { ion the McLean county side of the iriver was another big crowd. Pioneer |folks these. Some of them can still remember the silvery notes of the |} |bugles at Old Fort Stevenson, when it was garrisoned by regular army sol-| tlre the land of the Mandans and jf} |the Arikaras, They watched the soaring plane, where the keen, clean cut, resourceful technician trained the binoculars on the country round ass? Did he see a picture of the rhabilitation of two great states, & ‘change in agricultural economy that went far beyond the grass roots? Did he see a great city at Williston, an- other at Bismarck, the towns destined to be the metropolitan areas of the ‘North Dakota of 2033, 100 years from || now? Did he see an end of fighting if against drouth and limited rainfall? | Was this the passing of an era?

They bounded ‘away in long, graceful leaps until the | woods along the down river swallowed jthem up. They made a picture that |recalled the great Seal of North Da- |kota, where the buffalo flees before |the mounted Indian into the land of ithe setting sun and behind them |comes the husbandman with his plow. jIt was another scene in the last. best jWes:. Progress soared above the pur- |ple shadows in an airplane. Progress ‘come to control and divert a mighty river, But the light of the chase was jin the eyes of those sturdy men who | Stood on the high hill at the east bank and watched the deer flee, while the airplane droned overhead. For a mo- iment they had forgotten the airplane. \They had reverted to type. They were pioneers who saw good meat on oleae getting away through the On the crowd in the east bank stood {one of the west’s great political lead- jers, Frank W. Murphy. He was ‘dressed like a business man from any jgreat city. Democratic of manner, he freely fraternized with the pioneer crowd that had gathered about him. He gave them hope. “We must have this project,” he said. “We must turn. back the desert. We must develop a western consciousness.” To those in the party of Major Fleming and Frank Murphy it was the end of a perfect day. All day that day their motor cars had traversed the route of the great Missouri river diversion project which lies between the Devils Laké basin and the main control dam. They Saw Big Things Big things they had seen at several |places—in the control on the Shey- enne near Oberon, in another not far from Harvey, where great basins, made to hold water, have been carved from the ground by ice erosion mil- lions of years ago. The impression that this project is practical steadily was strengthened as these were view- ed. The great engineer admitted he this and nothing more. For him it was a day of great, colorful, rugged pictures, wrought far back in the American hinterland by great forces of nature. This army engineer is a most charm- ing gentleman. But how the man can keep his mouth shut. Yet men may speak, when they are human, without saying a word. There is a° snap in their eyes. There is an alertness and a radiated enthusiasm in their man- ner most eloquent. Restraint, long praticed, is a virtue. So is the shut mouth. Major Fleming has them. He told nobody anything. He was most was interested and impressed—only; genial, likable, human. He could not Conceal the fact he was intensely in- terested, however. Interest is sym- Pathy, sympathy begets underatand- ing. That is all the great Missouri river project ever needed. Bet your money that before the cherry and the Plum trees blow again engineers will be working at the site of the main control in the diversion project which carries so much of hope for so many People in the two great states that are called the Dakotas; in the land of the Mandan and the‘Arikara, the home of Drags Wolf and Little Bear, by the trail that Lewis and Clark blazed in days of President Thomas Jeffer- son, when empire stalked westward in buckskin with a rifle in the hollow of its arm; where an airplane soars today droning its song of progress. REPORT 20 DEAD AS ARGENTINA ACTS T0 SUPPRESS REBELLION 100 Others Are Wounded Dur-' ing Radical Outbreaks } in Two Cities Buenos Aires, Dec. 20.—(#)—Out- breaks in two cities of Argentina, which the government described as a radical revolt against it, Friday re- sulted in at least 20 deaths and the wounding of 100 persons. A roundup of the situation revealed that authorities made between 300 and 500 arrests in a vigorous effort to suppress the uprisings. Most of those killed were soldiers at Rosario, in nor- thern Argentina. Numbers were wounded at Santa Fe. The outbreaks followed two radical conventions which voted not to par- ticipate in the election of one-third {ot the chamber of deputies on the t Sunday in March. Nothing was heard from several cities described by police as centers | of radicalism. A strict censorship was maintained on telegraph lines, mak- ing it impossible to learn the true situation everywhere. Government spokesmen maintained the country was quiet. ‘ Attack Police Station A disturbance similar to the others, but of smaller scale, took place at La Piata when groups attempted to cap- ture the police, fire and marine sta- tions, shouting “viva revolution.” Whether the heads of the two radi- cal conventions had been arrested was not known here. Many were injured and wounded at Santa Fe when police fired into crowds which stormed mounted police headquarters. Fifty persons, all rmed and wearing red and white arm bands, were ‘arrested in Buenos Aires. The capital was thrown into a state ot high excitement, but Colonel Gar- cia, chief of the mounted police, said the movement definitely had been |more than two miles wide at this | (= The air was balmy.
