Complaints have been made to the
city Marshal that bicycle riding on
the side walks has become so obnixious
to pedestrians that it is not safe to 90
on the streets at times, and the marshal
has been instructed to enforce the
ordinance governing the same with
out discrimination, and owners of
bicycles will find it to their interest to
confine themselves to the streets.

QUElLS TRAIN RIOT
Young Preacher on Hearing
Profanity Begins to Read
the Bible Aloud.
GAVE NO FURTHER TROUBLE

Butler, N. J., Oct. 19.-Gospel
preaching as a means to quell rowdy-
ism was tried with success here by
BENJAMIN Kober, young minister Of
Paterson. Not that he induced the
rowdies to read the gospel. but read
it himself to them. They were on a
train OF the New York.. Susquehanna
& Western railroad when they sudden
ly broke out in a rough and tumble
Aght. using profanity that would have
shamed the vocabulary OF a canal
driver.
While women trembled with fear
and men frowned with timid impot-
ence. young Kober rose to the situa-
ton. First he mildly rebuked the
men. Then before they could recover
from their amazement he had fish
ed Bible out Of his pocket and was
reading from the fifteenth chapter OF
Isaiah.
The trouble makers recognizing a
minister. listened with respectful at
tention till he finished. They had alb
solutely no further remarks to make
from that time until they left the
train.
The youthful preacher told quest
toner's afterward that he felt called
to speak when he heard the profanity.

MORE MONEY NEEDED.
To Meet Expense Of Burying
Old Soldiers as Required
by a State Law.
81, 500 FUND is EXHAUSTED

Evidence that the death rate among
Civil war veterans in the county Is In.
creasing rapidly Is indicated In the
purpose OF a special meeting OF the
county council on Saturday. In max
ing up the budget for 1910 year ago
the council appropriated $500 for the
burial OF old soldiers, whose estate or
families could not meet the expense.
This fund has been used up and
there are several claims now on file
with the county auditor for burial OF
old soldiers. The county allows $50
for the burial OF each veteran who Is
buried at the expense of the county.
This is the first time on record that
the death rate among the veterans has
been SO large as to require an addi-
tional appropriation to that as origi.
nally made.
The election on Tuesday, November
Sth. will require q larger expenditure
than at first thought necessary. The
council will consider this matter at its
meeting and 1t Is probable $3.50 addi-
tional will be appropriated. There are
one or two other county funds which
have run below the appropriation and
which will be bolstered up by addi-
tional distribution of the county's yell
low boys.

OPTION WILL EXPIRE
ON FIRST OF MONTH
If Hawkins Property Is Ac-

Following a meeting that was held
Tuesday evening by the Richmond
Lake and Park committee at the
Commercial club rooms an active
to sell the stock in this
project will be inaugurated. The COM

fund with which the seventy acres
Of land can be purchased, thereby
laying the ground work for the most
pretentious project of the kind the
city has ever had presented to it.
The public is already quite familiar
with the plan to purchase the Hawk
ins land, which is northeast of and
adjacent to the city, with the hope Of
making It available as permanent
quarters for the chautauqua, provid-
ing summer resort facilities by the
creation of a large lake and providing

Of this nature.
This is considered one O. the best
propositions that has been offered
since the purchase OF Glen Miller
park. With this tract of land made
into park, containing lake one mile
long, the next step. would be a river

the old Nixon paper mills, thence
south down the river to the old Test
Woolen mills. making Richmond un-

park and boulevard.
This stock will be sold in shares
Of $50 each, allowing the purchaser
to pay one-third as soon as the entire
stock Is placed and the balance in
four equal payments. ninety days

and exchange his stock for lot and
put him up a little summer cottage
or tent in which he and his family
may enjoy the luxury Of delightful
little summer home. out in a pleasant
grove on the bank of lake, with
fishing and boating for a pastime.
The members Of the committee, as
well as the Commercial club as a
body, this organization being the
father Of the plan. is hopeful that the
people OF Richmond will not allow
this opportunity to promote the fu-
ture welfare Of the city to pass for
lack of interest.

pie do not understand that it is a

In 1905 while assistant engineer Of

statistics on the loss to the farmers
on the North Dakota side of the Red
river valley for that season occas-

toned by the undrained condition of
the land. These statistics were gath
cred from townships aggregating
about 5000 900 acres. The results
have been published several times
and are probably familiar to some of
you but as they show very clearly
the loss that occurred that year, and
is too frequently recurring, I think
that they will bear repeating here
These figures are as follows:
Number of acres Of plowed land
that could not be seeded in the
spring, 1924.
Number OF acres that could not be
summer fallowed, 70,1S7.
Number of acres not worth cutting,
s7,o35.
Number of acres too wet to be har-
in the fall, 166,625.
Number facres too wet to be har-
vested, III ,493.
Adding the amount which was not
worth cutting to that which was too
wet to be harvested there would be
total loss Of crop on 25S,52S acres.
Estimating the crop on an average
acre if properly land, at Is bushels
of wheat valued at seventy cents per
there would be loss in this item
alone of $2.714,544.
There also was an additional loss
upon the lands that could not be
seeded, summer fallowed, fall plow-
ed, and upon which the wheat be-
came over ripe and shelled.
All the estimates that were made
were conservative and it is probably
safe to assume that the total loss to
residents Of the Red river valley in
North Dakota through lack of suffi-
cient drainage in that year exceed
ed $4,000,000. While that year was
one of heavy rainfall yet we have had
several seasons like it during the
past twenty-five years and in a nor
NAL season at the present value of
wheat I estimate that there is a loss
Of at least s3.O00,000 in this same ter
ritory caused by insufficient drain
age. During that season and the fol-
lowing one drainage surveys were
made of a strip Of territory fifteen
miles wide from the Red river west.
