Senator. Bond Will Introduce import.
ant Bill in Legislature Similar to
That Which Kansas Has.

If any state in the union needs a
law that will protect her unsophis-
ticated against the connivings of
"blue sky" operators, it is North Da-
kota, and Walter Bond, Of this city,
recently elected as a member of the
senate, will introduce such bill early
in the session. Mr.. Bond has been
in correspondence with J. ~ Dooiy,
the Kansas bank commissioner,
whose blue sky bill'' was passed b.
the Kansas legislature, and which has
created a good deal of favorable CONF
ment over the entire United States. .
Mr. Bonds bill will be changed in
some particular from the Kansas law
but in many particulars will be iden'
tical.
Mr.. Bond proposes to introduce a
bill that will compel companies seek
ing to do business in this state to
present its proposition to a branch OF
the state bank department., who must
Investigate and report. If the conf
pany is a legitimate one, license can
be issued.
Mr.. Bond will also Introduce a
good roads bill, providing for the use
of the county automobile Money. pat
termed after Wisconsin's law. Each
county will be required to finish some
specific piece of road after which the
money derived from automobile tax
will be turned over to it.
Mr.. Bond believes that much time
can be saved in the legislature by
getting down to business early In
the session and will favor cutting
down the length Of the session by
twenty days. Mr.. Bond is In a posi-
tion to do some effective work at the
coming session and we believe that
he will do so.

went to the Twin Cities with cattle
several years ago and when they ar
rived there, two small calves in the
bunch had been crushed to death.
The cattle were sold and the Minot
men took in the sights. They went
to large packing house tut that
happened to be the day when no WIS.,
itors were admitted. They walked
up the gangway where the cattle had
been driven and went in where the
tutchering was being done. There
was a great pile of still-born calves
and on top of the pile were the two
calves that had been killed in their
car. "As sure as I'm alive" Mr..
Foote said, "they we're working those
calves up into veal loaf. Since the
inspection laws have become more
strict, these things do not happen
now days."

grievances in the proper manner and
have them adjusted.

Otis Elevator Company Says EE-
hIbits Are Beneficial.

The installation Of the elevator which
the Otis Elevator Company placed in the
exhibit hall of the Builders Exchange
has been a very good investment. and
the company has received a number OF
inquiries, some OF which have resulted
in obtaining contracts for similar equip
ments.
The exchange, being centrally located
and having exhibits OF a purely building
nature, not only makes II convenient for
a purchaser to see a standard equip
ment, but also permits him to obtain
information on various other parts which
might be needed for his building.
An officer Of the Otis Elevator Com
pany recently said: 1--WE have always
felt that the Builders Exchange is a
good institution for city growing like
Washington, and our efforts have al
ways been toward getting customers to
visit the building and see just what they
are buying. We think that II all ex-
hIbltOrs would follow out this idea. the
results in their sales would be larger
and every customer who visits the hall

business TO the different contractors in
