THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY 2 NORTHERN PACIFIC PILES TAX SUIT IN FEDERAL TRIBUNAL Railroad Says State Is Overas- sessing Its Property; Fol- lows Soo Line Lead Fargo, Feb. 15.—(#)—Following the example of the Soo Line railroad, the Northern Pacific railroad has gone into federal court seeking relief from alleged Fcessive taxation. A bill of complaint, copies of which have been given to the marshal's of- | fice for service, was filed in federal | court Wednesday. Like the Soo action, the case brought by the Northern Pacific is| against J. J.

McKENNEY | (Secretary, American Bridge League) I hope my readers have had oppor- ltunity to lay out all the cards in ‘today’s problem, and try to figure out |the solution. It is an interesting and tricky little play. The hand was sent to me by Arthur P. Washburn of New York City. | I must admit that it would take rather optimistic bidding to arrive at a contract of six hearts with the ‘North and South hands. However, proceeded to this final contract, al- though the bidding might have gone South one heart, West two clubs, North double, South three hearts, North three no trump, South four hearts, and North six hearts. The Play West's opening lead is the king of ; clubs, East drops the jack, and South wins the trick with the ace. Figuring that East holds the singleton jack of clubs and that the only way to make the contract is to find East with the | king of diamonds ‘otherwise there: Washburn failed to tell me how they | CONTRACT EXPERTS PLAY IT 2 Today’s Contract Problem South is playing the hand at three no trump.

Can you tell how many tricks he could make if the right heart {s led, and how many tricks he can make after the misplay? Solution in next issue 15 East wins with the king and re- with the king. The nine of hearts is touch with Sheriff John P. Harmon of Menomonie, . Sheriff Harmon reported the mat- ter to Harold Nathan of St, Paul, as- sistant to J.

We have no desire to influence or dictate the naming of any candidate or candidates. We have been identified with the Non- partisan League since the beginning, and we believe it is vital to the fu- ture of good government in North Dakota that this movement should be preserved and protected. Our ac- tion in pointing out the facts as they now exist is done with this in view. Our own political fortunes are of small consequence compared to the importance of helping maintain in our state a type of government that will secure the respect, confidence and support of our citizens.” Green gooseberry sawflies are be- ing reared at Manchester, England, to get a fuller knowledge of their life history.

With practically all of its first $40,000,000 fund exhausted last Sat- urday, the CWA appeared about to ee ee less. But even with this problem answer- ed, Hopkins served notice that plans MF a ad the force are still in ef- fect. Hopkins intends to cut the total of employees by about 10 per cent a ‘week, until the army will have prac- tically vanished by May 1. Once at @ peak of 4,000,000 men, it already is 200,000 below that figure. Under Hopkins’ latest instructions, further demobilization begins Thurs- day night, but the exact number to be dismissed at once has not been de- termined. The orders, civil works of- ficials estimate, affect the employ- ment of 263,682 individuals. Some will be retained on a few con- tinuing federal projects, however.
