THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1935 ~ Weather Report {|TURTLE LAKE WAVE |Tentative Valuations Put MOORHEAD MAN HAS EDITOR 1S BURIED} On Five Utility Companies) S78) LIQUOR BACK Joseph Smith Was Old-Time Printer, Directed Munici- pal Band for Years Joseph M. Smith, pioneer editor of the Turtle Lake Wave and leader of the municipal band there, was buried following funeral services conducted Monday by Rev. Walter E. Vater, pas- tor of the McCabe Methodist Episco- pal church of Bismarck. Mr. Smith was of the old school of printers. As a young man he worked on the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Sauk Center Herald and prior to the advent of the linotype he set type by hand for legal publiations of the West Publishing company at St. Paul. He was a member of the once- famed bicycle band of 8t. Cloud, Minn., traveled for several seasons as @ member of the Ringling Brothers circus band and after coming to North Dakota, conducted bands at ky | Thompson, Buxton, Martin and Tur- tle Lake. He was unmarried and very little is known of his family. He came to Turtle Lake in 1917 and purchased the Wave from George L. Nelson. In his work as a band director he took a great deal of interest in train- ing boys for future musicians. Many of his students have entered uni- versity and college bands after going away to school. Attending the funeral services was Charles Foster, Bismarck attorney, an intimate friend. Smith’s band played several selections during the ceremony.

Increases in tentative valuations of four companies and a decrease in one valuation were revealed at the hear- ing before which representatives of five utilities appeared. For the most part the proposed valuations appeared acceptable to representatives of the power compa- nies although reductions were asked in minor items. Fred Gamble, assistant treasurer of Montana-Dakota Utilities company and Montana-Dakota Power com- pany, asked a reduction on valua- tion of the company gas lines near Williston, The tentative valuation for 1935 placed on the Montana-Dakota Utili- ties company was $1,497,083, an in- crease of $69,936 over the 1934 figure of $1,428,157, A reduction in valuation of $346,- 890 on the property of the Montana- Dakota Power company was shown in the tentative figures of the tax com- mission; for 1935, the proposed valu- ation of the property is $815,890. The 1934 valuation was $1,162,096. An increase Of $35,333 in valuation of the Northern States Power com- pany properties in the state was re- vealed in the tentative figures; pro- posed is a 1935 valuation of $5,400,658, while the 1934 figure set by federal district court was $5,365,325. An increase of $242,307 was pro- posed in the valuation of the North Dakota Power and Light company, the tentative figure for 1935 being set at $2,317,280, as compared with the 1934 valuation of $2,074,973. Similarly, an increase of $90,129 was proposed for the Northern Power and Light company from the 1934 valua- tion of $510,080 to make the 1935 val- uation $601,209. Lee Nichols, state tax commission- er, explained that all proposed valua- tions are “purely tentative” and re- main yet to be approved by the board of equalization itself. Still to be heard are 14 other utili- ties in the state, although the five heard represent some of the largest interests in the state. The state board of equalization will set the state tax levy Aug. 30. CONTINUED from page one’ N. D. Highway Department Has Approval of Bureau Welford Pleased Governor Welford was obviously pleased at the manner in which the problem had been solved and imme- diately pledged his fullest coopera- tion to the bureau of public roads in carrying out the program outlined. “Mr. McDonald’s analysis of the road situation in North Dakota is an excellent one and his plan for the correction, reconstruction and rehab- ilitation of our highways has my full approval,” the governor said. “He points out that the roads have been worn out because of improper construction and lack of the funds needed to make necessary repairs. The roads were apparently worn out before the highway department had appreciated the need for reconstruc- tion or at least before it had the funds to do the work. “The bureau of public roads is now graciously giving the benefit of its wide experience and trained person- nel to aid in the restoration of the North Dakota highway system. It will have the full cooperation of this office in the plan.” McDonald's Letter The text of McDonald’s letter to Welford, written in response to one from the governor on July 1, fol- lows: “Further reference is made to your letter of July 1, 1935: “I now have Mr. Bishop's report covering the situation in North Da- kota, with particular reference to the maintenance conditions. Mr. Bishop reports that, while the maintenance conditions are not satisfactory, ap- parently the department of state highways is doing everything that can be done with its limited funds and inadequate equipment to remedy the conditions. It seems that the jnere Wednesday following funeral procedure and certain programs have been made up accordingly. “I am in receipt of a letter dated Aug. 2, from Mr. Palen in which he informs me that an appreciable num- ber of secondary projects that have been completed and turned over to counties for maintenance in accord- ance with approved agreements be- tween the department of state high- wyas and the respective counties, are not being satisfactorily main- tained. I am, therefore, instruct- ing Mr. Palen to refrain from ap- proving P. 8. & E’s or concurring in awards for future secondary projects in the counties concerned until such time as the maintenance has been made satisfactory on the projects al- ready constructed. The programs covering other than the secondary roads in question will be expedited. “Our attitude with respect to the program for work for next year will depend largely upon the improvement. shown in the general maintenance situation. The most crying need in the state of North Dakota at pres- vert the present gravel types into allow the state to maintain and con- vert the present gravel types into higher types, especially on the main roads of the federal aid highway sys- tem. It is earnestly hoped that at the next session of the legislature adequate appropriations will be made to guarantee satisfactory mainten- ance, urgent reconstruction and funds to meet federal aid for new construction.” MAX MAN BURIED Velva, N. D., Aug. 14—Harris W. Stowell, 41, who died at the vet- erans’ hospital at Fort Harrison, Helena, Mont., Friday, was buried services conducted at Max. Am ex- service man, Mr. Stowell is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Stowell of Max. Since his discharge from the army in 1922 he has been making his home at Columbia Falls, Mont. CORRECTION present unsatisfactory maintenance conditions are due mainly to neglect. The department of state highways has not been furnished with suffi- cient funds to make replacements of gravel as the roads wore out. “It will undoubtedly take some time to satisfactorily remedy this condi- tion. Mr. Flannigan has assured Mr. Bishop, however, that from $1,- 500,000 to $1,700,000 will be available for maintenance work in North Da- kota this year; provided a loan in anticipation of the plate licenses after January 1, 1936, is negotiated. loan of $250,000, Mr. Flannigan states, will be used entirely for gravel re- placements. In addition to this, Mr. Flannigan has agreed that, inasmuch as the department of state highways is not able to maintain gravel roads it now has under its charge, the state will refrain from adding any addi- tional mileage of gravel roads under the present available funds and will devote all of these funds, both the old funds and the new funds, to recon- struction and placing of higher types of pavement on the present gravel roads on the main traffic roads of the federal aid highway system. This will materially help the maintenance situation in the future. “It seems that the older roads first constructed were built with too low @ grade line and of insufficient width to receiev an oil mat, a high- er type apparently satisfactory for conditions in North Dakota. Some of the roads on the federal aid high- system are now regraded and have sufficient gravel to receive an oil mat. Others will be reconstruct- ed with work relief funds and an oli mat will be placed with old funds. a ace George Larson is general contrac- tor for the two new duplexes which will be constructed between Second and Third Sts. on Avenue B, instead of Frank Larson, as announced Tues- day.

Aug. 14.—(?)—| Lloyd Junkin of Moorhead, from whom Moorhead police and the state liquor commission seized $4,500 worth of liquor Aug. 26, 1934, had it back intact Wednesday. Both state and local authorities failed during the last year to find) statutes under which the confiscated goods could be retained, and also found themselves without laws under which Junkin and his business part- ner, A. A. (Chief) Barensen, now in) the North Dakota penitentiary, could be prosecuted for allegedly iperating liquor wholesale business in Moor- be prosecuted for allegedly operating As a result Judge Carroll A. H. Nye granted a request to an order for the return of the liquor and it was sur- rendered by David R. Arundel, state liquor commissioner. CONTINUED from page one Asks Citizens to Aid Legion Fight on Enemies of Nation must be preserved to them and which they are guaranteed under the con- stitution, Cites Work for Boys Reviewing briefly the American Legion’s activity in many fields, Boise pointed to the fact that more boys organizations have been formed under the sponsorship of the Ameri> can Legion than any other club or body of man in the world. It was in line with that interest in the coming citizens, he said, that the American Legion was the first to sponsor and later helped get through the legislature the bill enacted at the last session which put the country schools on a better financial basis. Calling attention to the universal draft act, sponsored by the legion, Boise said it would take the profit out of war and that its passage would obviate any agitation for adjusted service compensation and other bene- fits after any future wars. 5 Die Weekly in N. D. Slowly but surely, he said, the men who fought the last war are passing out of the picture, the death rate be- the nation and five phans so created.
