THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1987 Prayerful Statecraft of Pope Pius XI Freed ‘Prisoner of Vatic ee ———_——————— I Holy) Years, which bring pilgrims from every part of the earth, open when the pope unseals a walled-up doot of St. Peter's, and close when he seals the door. Pius XI is shown here placing the first brick in the door at the end of the 1925 Holy Year. ° 2 effect of the treaty was this scene in St. Peter's Square, as $00,000 watched Pius XI and dignitaries proceed from the Vatican to St. Peter's. After 60 years, the “prisoner of the Vatican” had emerged again to bless publicly his faithful, . Throughout negotiations leading to the pact between Italy and the Vatican, Pius XI prayed, as shown in top photo, for divine guid- ance. The treaty became official Feb 11, 1929, as Mussolini, below at right, and Cardinal Gaspatri affixed their names. Symbol of the perpetuity of the church, the pope rigidly follows ceremonial forms handed down through the centuries. In formal conference, Pius XI, above, wears the triple-crowned tiara, repe resenting his temporal, spiritual, and purgatorial sovereignty. y £ q BRILLIANT RECTOR, IS DEAD IN SPAIN ; Salamancan Regarded as Hav- a ing One of Finest Minds in Whole World _ Avila, Spain, Jan. 2.—(?)—Miguel Ge Unamuno, 72, internationally » known rector of Salamanca university, A er, poet and novelist, died ‘Thursday. =< warbed comments on events and foibles ‘of his country earned for him the pur ‘Many of his terse shots at the social Cand political trends of first the mon- o srehy and then the republic which he aimself had helped establish, passed raimmediately into Castillian literature Jassical apothegms.

M., Jan. 2—()—At least two days of slow battling against huge snow drifts lay ahead of rescuers Sat- urday seeking more than 300 snow- bound Navajos, reported eating their horses to avoid starvation. Supply trucks moved at snail's pace out of Zuni behind a snow plow to- ward the Zuni mountain region 60 miles south of here. - ‘Thirty-four miles of narrow moun- tain trail, in which snow was drifted in places as deep as 8 feet, was the barrier between the rescuers and the marooned pinon nut ‘harvesters. Supt. E. R. Fryer of the Indian service estimated there were approx- imately 50 Navajo Indian families scattered through the region south of Zuni, Ramah and Inscription Rock. He estimated it would take two days to reach the first of the marooned and that the rescue probably could not be completed for four or five days. Reports of the marooned were brought into Zuni late Friday by a weary, famished band of nearly 50 men, women and children, also trap- ped by Monday's blizzard. They said a second storm New Year's eve, which they weathered, had removed all possibility of the other families breaking through to habitation. - They told how their fellow har- vesters were staving off starvation by eating half-famished horses which were unable to find forage in the deep snow drifts. Fryer said because of the forbidding terrain it would be impossible to deliver supplies by air- DUCK BANDED RERE 1 SHOT IN MEXICO Report One of First Received on 700-800 Birds Tagged Last Summer One of the first reports on between ‘700 and 800 ducks banded by the state game and fish department and fed- eral biological survey last summer has been received here, Written in Spanish, a communicd- tion came from a rancher near 8.

Pointing out ‘that this helps to de- termine the age ducks reach and to ‘a certain extent the routes they travel, officials of the state game and fish department asked that the bands or information contained on them be for- warded to the proper officials when- ever a banded duck is found dead. Sequence of Crashes Hurts Man at Forks Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 2.—(P)—A series of motor accidents Friday put one man in the hospital with a broken knee, made a skating rink of a sec- tion of street, wasted a large supply of city water and damaged several cars, A moving automobile struck a parked car, pushing it into the hy- drant, which was broken off, releas- ing a flood of water.

Editor, Tribune: Recently, after hearing protests by certain citizens of Bismarck’s south side, the city commission instructed | Dr. A. M. Fisher, the city health officer, to order the two hide and fur companies operating in Bismatck to refrain from bringing the carcasses of dead animals into the city. The delegation is said to have told the city commission that the odor from the dead rabbits was nauseat- ing and unhealthful and to have asked that the two firms be kept from bringing these carcasses into the city. Such an order, if enforced, would remove from Bismarck an important industry with a payroll at peak sea- Son of $1,000 a week. It also would remove from the farmers of this area an important Source of revenue. Many of them are receiving substantial sums from the sale of rabbits killed by them and they are spending miost of this money with Bismarck merchants, The city commissioners have only to check with the merchants of Bis- marck to understand that thousands of dollars in checks issued .by the. Northern Hide and Fur company are cashed here each week. We haye tried and are trying to operate this business without objec- tionable smells. Our plant was located where it is with a view to causing the least possible nuisance. It is located in the industrial sec- tion of the city of Bismrack, and where industry exists, smeils often are unavoidable. I could list other conditions in this section which do not add to its value as a residential Misses Fail. Most of Bismarck’s 1936 misses were really just old-fashioned girls at heart. Or maybe the eligible bachelors were not quite so numerous or 80 vul- nerable as formerly. Whatever the cause—either the women’s reticence or the men’s wari- ness—the records show that the Cap- ital City’s unmarried females failed to take advantage of their leap year prerogative. Only 192 marriage licenses were issued at Judge I. C. Davies’ office in the court house during the past 12 months as compared with the 218 couples that took the matrimonial plunge the year before and 197 pairs that had the nuptial knot tied in 1934, Paradoxically, divorce decrees is- sued by District Judge Fred Jan- sonius here fell off to the lowest point in the past three years. In 1934 there were 47 separations granted as compared to 41 in 1935 and an even 40 in 1936. ‘These last figures are somewhat misleading in view of the fact that many of the divorces granted by the district judge were outside of Bis- marck and Burleigh county and sev- eral of the divorces in Bismarck were issued by Judge R. G. McFarland of Jamestown. June slipped far back from its recognized position as the top-rank- ing marrying month, permitting De- cember to occupy the lead position with 21, October was second with 20 temperatures which are common here to Make Leap Year followed by November, April, August and May. Only 10 licenses were issued in June, 1936 as compared with 38 during the same month last year. With December figures avialable, births in Bismarck, which are recorded at the city auditor's of- fice, were still in about @ two to one majority over the deaths and running close on the heels of last year’s fig- ures, A total of 448 births were listed up to December 1 as compared with 205 deaths during the same period. Last year there were 537 births and 203 deaths in the Capital City.

They are thawed to per- mit the rabbits to be skinned, then the carcasses are immediately re- moved from the, building and from the vicinity, It seems to me that the ci lon should consider all of the facts and consider the results before taking steps to drive out of Bismarck an in- dustry which is of real value to it. I shall appear before the city com- mission Monday night to present my case. My employes’ also will be pres- ent to plead for their jobs. They have a right to earn their bread and butter, just as I have. district. Still, if we are to have in- dustry in the city it must be located somewhere, When I built the building in which the Northern Hide and Fur company now is located I took out a building permit. It specified that the struc- ture was to be used as a hide house. The city approved the issuance of that permit. It knew when it approved the lo- cation of my business where it now is that I did not plan to operate a perfume factory or a hospital, It must have known that certain smells are unavoidable around a hide house. Now, after 20 years, during which my entire time has been devoted to building a business of value to Bis- marck, a move is begun which will, have the effect of driving me out of business, The effect will be to deprive 75 persons of employment in the city of Bismarck alone. They earn from $14 to $40 a week. It seems to me that the city could well make some sac- rifice to miaintain this payroll here. The news story which appeared re- cently in The Tribune said 20 per- sons were protesting against the ac- tivities of this business. Against that we have 75 persons who earn their bread and butter from it. They are glad to have the business where it! is. Most of them live near by and they do not object. From time to time I have had other troubles with some of the per- sons who filed this objection. It is; not my purpose to attack their char-| acters or standing as citizens but, in the case of at least a few of them, I feel that their activity is caused by spite and the desire to do me per-| sonal harm. But that is not the important thing. The major issue is whether or not Bismarck welcomes legitimate industry which gives em- ployment to its people. May I suggest to the city commis- sion, if it cares to investigate this matter fairly and impartiaily, that frozen rabbits give off no more smell than frozen meat of any kind, such as poultry which is subsequently thawed and, used for human food. I was granted a permit to build a hide house and my experience and obser- Nation is that the hides and their treatment create more of a smeil than do their carcasses. The latter. when frozen, are practically unob- Jectionable. The season for the rabbit business Sincerely yours, Sam Sloven, President, Northern Hide & Fur Co, TATLEY FAVORS IRRIGATION Los Angeles, Dec. 24, '36. Editor, Tribune: I was much pleased to read your editorial on fourth page of the Trib- une Dec. 18th as to possibility for irri- gation on Missouri river bottoms. I have told my friends in Bismarck in- terested in irrigation that a big gov- ernment project put in at a tremend- ous cost would not pay, and mainte- nance and upkeep would be prohib- itive. Individual initiative or small groups of neighbors together doing their own work leveling the land, putting in canals and ditches is the only sensible solution. The federal government should revet the banks of the river and such bottoms as are suitable for irrigation to which the Bismarck bottoms, both north and south, are particularly adapted. Your do you a lot of good if interested. I have had a little to do with here in California and found that first cost and the price of power must be low or a pumping district can’t survive, not even here, where seasons are much more favorable. Sincerely yours, Henry Tatley. LIKED GOOD-WILL COURT : Baldwin, N. D., Dec. 29, 1936. Editor, Tribune; I certainly regret the discontinu- ance of the “Chase and Sanborn Good-Will Court.” It was enjoyable to listen to it, besides of great educa- tion. If our American people were more educated in law I am sure there would be less crimes committed, less taxes to pay. Wishing you and all the readers a happy, prosperous, new year.

Usher L.

His Premium Scale The premium scale set forth in the . Burdick plan follows: Wheat, two cents a bushel; corn, g| oats, rye, one cent a bushel each; bar- Jey, one and a@ half cents a bushel; flax, four cents a bushel, and cotton, one-quarter of a cent a pound.
