BAD LANDS PROJECT TS GIVEN APPROVAL National Parks Inspector Fav- ors Plan to Restore Roosevelt Ranch Dickinson, N. D., Feb. 19.—()}—An epplication for a CCC camp at the site of the Maltese Cross ranch to carry out plans to restore it as it was when the “cowboy president,” Theodore Roosevelt, owned it, was approved and| referred to Washington Monday by) Harvey Cornell of Oklahoma City, | national parks inspector. Cornell spent Sunday at the ranch in the Badlands near Medora, where he studied the site which the newly- crganized Roosevelt Maltese Cross association seeks to establish as a na- tional shrine in honor of the former president. He spoke enthusiastically of the possibilities of establishing a CCC camp on the ranch this spring} or summer. If given final approval in Washing- ton, the work would consist of re- building the ranch to appear as it did when Roosevelt made his home there, construction of tourist shel- ters, wells, conveniences for tourists, , ‘and improvement of the road south from No. 10 at Medora eight miles to the ranch. Cornell conferred with directors of the Civic association here and with 'T. A. Tollefson, director of the Great- er North Dakota association. He also inspected a site for a park in the Killdeer mountains where establish- ment of a CCC camp for the summer 4s being considered. One problem may be an obstacle in | obtaining parks for North Dakota,’ Cornell said, as he pointed to the po- Ney of the national parks department to work with state park boards in ap- | propriating funds and establishing! camps for making permanent park improvements on state-owned sites. North Dakota has no park board. = | ‘The 1929 legislature, however, en-| acted a law authorizing the board of ‘university and school lands to secure needed lands if the government in- derses the national park project for} the Badlands. Cornell will go to Bismarck Tues- day for a conference with Gov. Wil-) tam Langer and other officials. j ‘The department of national parks, Cornell emphasized, does not plan ‘ny extensive development of the Badlands as a national park at the Fresent time. The work would be! confined probably to two or three) mall areas within the Badlands with | expansion possible at some future) date. , | Receivership Action | Dismissed by Court) Fargo, N. D., Feb. 20.—(#)—The! State supreme court has ordered dis- | missal of a receivership order entered several months ago by Judge H. L. Berry in the Mercer county district. court against the Agricultural Credit! Corporation and the Guaranty Credit | Corporation of Fargo. Both Institu-) tions are headed by H. C. Aamoth of | by trimming the Pettibone girl cager gee last week. The new hoopsters proved their | mettle Saturday night by taking a 36 le 10 game from Tuttle. The Robin- son squad has won 12 of 13 contests | this year, and have tallied 378 points | to 175 for opponents. The Robinson boys team in a con-| test last week-end walked away with 8 10-3 victory over Wing high school. ‘WENZEL APPEAL IS | GIVEN HGH COURT | Authority of Governor to Re-| move Compensation Com- } missioner Challenged Authority of the governor to remove @ workmen's compensation bureau commissioner is challenged in an ac-| tion filed in the state supreme court | by R. E. Wenzel, former member of | the bureau. Oral arguments will be) heard at the March term of court. —_| Wenzel was removed by Gov. Wil-| liam Langer following a hearing on charges against the commissioner. The supreme court action is an ap-/ peal from the decision of District | Judge C. W. Buttz of Devils Lake, who held that the governor had power to remove the commissioner after a hearing. Judge Buttz’ decision came after Wenzel was suspended from of- fice. The court held the governor | was without power to suspend pend-j ing outcome of the removal proceed- ings, but that the chief executive could order a hearing and remove if there was a cause for removal. A second action, consisting of an! appeal from the governor's Temoval | order, based on the testimony taken at a hearing before a special com- misssioner, has been filed in the dis- trict court. The supreme court action is brought against the Governor and T. J. Clif- ford, Langdon, who presided at the hearing as special commissioner. Students Get Awards In Typing, Shorthand Students of Mrs. Juanita Edick’s shorthand II and typing II classes recently received Gregg Awards. For being able to transcribe a five- minute dictation at the speed of 60 words a minute, Gregg certificates were received by Grace Abbott, Lynn Byrne, Grace Church, Sue Cleveland, Sara Crewe, Phyllis Olson, Ellen Til- lotson, ElaNor Weber and Beth Wheeler. Competent typist certificates were awarded to Grace Church, Fanny Alice Roberts and ElaNor Weber. Margaret Jensen and Esther Shu- ren received complete theory certi- ficates.

H. Sanders! es receiver in an action initiated by | L. R. Baird as receiver of a closed bank at Stanton, N. D. An outgrowth of the case was a) contempt action against Aamoth in, which Berry sentenced the latter to, four months in jail for failure to! produce records. Aamoth contended he had no way of producing the rec-| cords, saying they had been taken by Sanders. With the receivership order held void, it was regarded as likely that! the contempt action, still pending on | @ppeal to the supreme court, would fail. Aamoth is preparing a demand for the return of all records of the two companies. | In its unanimous opinion, the su-| Preme court holds a creditor who has no financial interest in a corporation ‘and seeks merely a money judgment, 1s without power to obtain appoint-/| ment of a receiver.

They are printed with a view to informing our readers of what has been accomplished in aiding busi- ness recovery in the state in the last year and to acquaint them with the duties and activities of the various departments of the re- covery set-up. There may be two men in North Dakota who work longer hours than Judge A. M. Christianson or John E. Williams, secretary of the State Emergency Relief committee, and there may be men who work harder— but there are not many. The judge's hours are from about 8:30 in the morning until midnight, during which time he works his usual shift as justice of the supreme court of North Dakota, for which he re- ceives compensation. The rest of his time is put in as chairman of the State Emergency Relief Administra- tion and CWA work, for which he receives no compensation whatever. Williams’ hours are about the same. He has seen his work expand from supervision of a department with about a dozen workers when he was appointed last August to one which will occupy two and a half floors in the new capitol building and which gives employment to over 35,000 per- sons, including an engineering force, an accounting department, a social- service division and a feed relief di- vision. The department exercises supervision over millions of dollars worth of CWA projects. It prepares and approves plans for roads, repairs to public buildings, extensions to sewer and water works and other pub- Me works employing at present over 35,000 people. The state re-employment director reports 50,000 people placed on jobs in the state since last August, with over 35,000 of these credited to CWA projects. Re-employment placements are sometimes of a temporary nature, however, and when their temporary jobs are completed persons are re- to a great extent for the difference in figures in the two departments. Grew Like a Mushroom ‘The CWA grew like a mushroom in about a year from the Federal Relief Committee that took over the admin- istration of relief to indigents in North Dakota in the late winter of 1933. This work was handled by a com- mittee appointed by the governor un- \der federal supervision, set up because |there was no state welfare board or similar organization qualified handle relief work. Funds were obtained from the fed- eral government, at first under the terms of a law passed in 1932 in the Hoover administration, which required thet all loans for relief purposes be deducted from the state’s share of federal aid road appropriations. The committee consisted of Judge A. M. Christianson, chairman; Su- perintendent of Public Instruction Arthur E. Thompson, Minnie D, Craig, to 35,000 Workers Esmond; Lee Nichols, Mandan, coun- |ty auditor of Morton county, and R. |M. Stangler, manager of the Bank of North Dakota. The committee func- tioned as a food relief committee for several months, until Nov. 16, 1933, when the CWA was set up and work projects begun. These absorbed the relief feature by prdviding employ- ment under the national recovery act. The powers and duties of the Fed- eral Emergency Relief Committee were transferred to the Civil Works Administration and the committee in North Dakota was continued. Au- thority was granted to hire additional personnel where necessary to expedite the work of reemployment. All Workers Registered In conjunction with the state-re- employment director and county re- employment agents the CWA register- ed the workers of the state who were without jobs, approved local city, county and township projects that would furnish emergency work, and selected qualified workers to complete them. Those men were selected in the following manner according to rules laid down by Public Works Adminis- trator Harold L. Ickes: 1, Non-union workmen, by far the largest class called back to work, were chosen from lists of qualified workers submitted by local employment agen- cies approved by the U. 8. Employ- SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEM By Wm. E. McKENNEY Secretary, American Bridge League ‘We often find ourselves in @ con- tract that looks impossible to make. In other words, it looks as though we must get too many good breaks to win the hand. However, a smart player never gives up, even on this type of hand. L. J. Haddad, one of the outstand- ing players of Chicago, figured that, to make today’s hand, he had to find the king of hearts and the king of clubs in the East. Therefore, he play- ed the hand on this assumption and made his contract. He was careful, however, not to take out his diamond entry before setting the clubs. West's opening lead was the five of spades. East won with the queen and returned the deuce of spades. It was Today’s Contract Problem South was the dealer, in today’s problem hand, and passed. North opened the bid- ding with a spade. East bid @iamonds, and South finally arrived at a four heart con- tract.

Union workmen, both skilled and unskilled, were and are obtained in the customary way through local unions in the place where the project is being constructed. If local unions cannot furnish qualified men within 48 hours after being requested to do so—Sundays-and holidays excluded— necessary men are obtained through the U. 8. Employment Service in the same manner as non-union workmen. In hiring men either from the lists submitted by the employment service or through local unions, preference must be given, in the following order: 1. To ex-service men with depend- ents when they are qualified for the work to be done. 2. To bona-fide residents of the municipality or other type of political subdivision where the work is to be}, lsted as unemployed. which accounts | done. 3. To bona fide residents of the state in which the municipality or other political subdivision is located. No Imported Workmen The two latter requirements are de- signed to prevent workmen from be- ing imported and thus preventing citizens and taxpayers of the com- ‘munity from obtaining the maximum amount of employment benefit: from the expenditure of money which they | must later repay.
