Walter Wel- ford and other state officials pond- ered the problem. Involved are the positions of state fire marshall occupied by J. H. Mc- Cay of Selfridge, and state land com- missioner, held at present by H. B. Hanson of Steele and Bismarck. McCay’s appointment by former Governor Langer, July 16, 1933, ex- Pired July 1 of this year—since that time he has been acting as “hold- over” fire marshal. Hanson was appointed land com- missioner by the state board of uni- versity and school lands Dec. 1, 1933. His term expires Sept. 1 of this year. Hanson was appointed to fill the un- expired term of Ludvig Pederson, when the latter was appointed man- ager of the state mill and elevator. Formulating New Pelicy In addition to being land com- missioner, Hanson also acts as sec- retary of the board of university and school lands, which recently has beery formulating a new policy relating to Joan interest on loans to political subdivisions. While uncertainty surrounded both positions, Welford was known to be etruggling with the dual problems of determining which of various appli- cants are best suited to the position of fire marshal and the perplexing question of satisfying the demand for Patronage. Welford has expressed the polit to friends that he hoped to be “able to make some of the appointments from counties which have not yet received patronage.” While he has refused to commit himself, Welford is known to be con- templating the advisability of a change in the fire marshal’s office. Although the appointment of land must be made by the board of university and school lands, composed of Superintendent of Pub- lic Instruction Arthur E. Thompson, Secretary of State James D. Gronna, Attorney General P. O. Sathre, State Auditor Berta E. Baker, and Welford, the desires of aa governor are ex- pected to carry determining weight with the body. tration predicted the possibility of a vacancy being created in one of the state departments, to make way for m change in the fire marshal or land commissioner offices, with the va- eancy to be filled by the one not re- way, informants said, Wel- ford expected to be able to meet the demands from counties claiming they have not received patronage due them and at the same time “take care” of incumbents in the two posi- tions. Within the next two weeks, it was fndicated at the governor's office, a definite announcement on the office of state fire marshal will be made and action taken on appointment of a land commissioner.

Word of their death came Friday to the United States Army Signal corps headquarters here from their Point Barrow station, The first terse message said: “Post and Rogers crashed 15 miles south of here (Point Barrow) at five o’clock last night. Have recovered bodies and placed them in care of Dr. Greist (in charge of a small Point Barrow hospital). Standing by on Anchorage (Alaska) hourly.” The message was signed by Staff Sergeant Morgan, the only army man on duty at the small Point Barrow settlement. Later, he wirelessed the plane crashed from only 50 feet in the air after taking off from a small river. FARM BOY BECAME |sszzz"ssccs.

J, Flannigan revealed Friday. The standard type of surfacing will be the oil mix road, adapted hd meet oa conditions throughout the The result, as envisioned by Flan- nigan, will be the creation of a trunk system of roads between major points which also will be of help to the farmer in getting to and from his trading center, Among the first roads slated for improvement are U. 8.

Before work can be started on the oil mix surfacing in many cases, however, it will be necessary to re- construct the roads. Where neces- sary they will be regraded and raised, then regraveled before the oil mix is applied, There will be very few concrete roads, according to present plans, this type being more expensive than can be financed under present condi- tions.

Charles A, Lindbergh and officials of the Pan-American Airways sys- tem here have been instructed by Mrs. Will Rogers to fly the body of her husband from Point Bar- row, Alaska, to Juneau. Col. Lindbergh and the Alaskan service of the airways company had been in touch with Mrs. Rog- ers and Mrs. Wiley Post, offering their facilities and aid. base for the oil mix.

With Harold Gatty, Post flew around the world in eight days, 15 hours, and 51 minutes, in 1931. In 1933, he made a solo ‘round- the-world flight, in seven days, 18 hours, and 49% minutes.
