IN NORTH DAKOTA
News Of the Week From Many
Sections of the State.
LICENSE MUST Be TAKEN OUT
Otherwise Elevator Companies Will
Not Be Permitted to Open Struc-
lures for Business.

The laws of this state governing the
licensing OF grain warehouses provide
that licenses must be taken out on
Aug. l in each odd numbered year, in
cases where elevators are to be opened
for business, and owing to the delays
and trouble biennially occurring over
failure of elevator companies to OBJ
serve this law the board of railroad
commissioners has decided that in
future this statute must be strictly
complied with.
In conformity with this ruling no
grain elevator will be permitted to do
business until it has been licensed
and all elevator companies are urged
to prepare their application blanks
and bond for license at an early date
and have these papers in the hands
OF the commission before Aug. L.
There is a large amount of clerical
work connected with the issuing of
the 2,400 licenses in this state and in
some cases it is impossible to issue
the license promptly after Aug. 1, but
in all cases where the application,
bond and copy of the storage ticket
in use is in the hands of the commits
sion permission will be granted the
warehouse men to open for business,
the license to follow later.
Another rule of the commission is
that if any elevator company oper-
ate wore than one elevator all must
be covered lat the rate of $1,000 for
each house, in one bond.
In case an elevator company does
not desire to open it's elevator at any
point application to the commission
must be made for permission to keep
this house closed for a particular
period. If it is decided by the COM
pany, at a later date, to open the
closed house application for a license
in the regular way may be made.
There is no good reason why the
elevator license applications should
not be made in July and the COM
mission hopes this will become the
general practice.

TAKE FIFTY RIFLES
FROM OIL STRIKERS

New York, July 25.-Discovery and
seizure by the police of fifty rifles and
bayonets stored in a hall used by the
strikers of the Standard Oil plant in
Bayonne, N. j., caused fears that the
men were planning further serious
disorders. Reports were circulated
that the strikers had collected a fund
of several hundred dollars with which
to purchase ammunition.
AS a result of rumors that the men
were arming themselves the Bayonne
police made a sudden raid upon the
hall and despite the presence Of a
large number of strikers in front OF
the building carried the weapons off
to police headquarters. So unex-
pected was the move that the strikers
made no attempt to prevent it.
Soon afterward two men were ar
rested and charged with placing heavy
iron pipes on the tracks of the Lehigh
Valley railroad at the entrance to the
oil plant. Desultory shots were fired
by the guards about the plant at in
tervals during the night. but there
was no concerted outbreak. Governor
Fielder still hesitated to call out the
troops, despite Sheriff K~inkead's frye
quent appeals for q guard of soldiers
around the plant.

THREATEN WARSAW
FROM The NORTH

London. July 2G.-Only the north
ern point OF the pincers which the
Austro-Germans for more thar a week
have been trying to close around War
saw and the Russian armies in the
Polish salient has made any progress
during the last few days. This point
has forced its way across the Narew
river between the f%ortresses of Pull
tusk and RoZan and is advancing to-
ward the Bug river, which stands for
the greater part of the way between it
and the Warsaw-Vilna railway, its OBJ
~jective.
The other point which Field Mar
shall Won M~ackensen is directing at
the Chelm-Lublin railway has hardly
gained a yard Of ground since it
reached the village Of Reiovetz, Just
south of the railway.
In Offering stubborn resistance to
the German advance the Russians are
making a continual threat at Won
Mackensen's flank along the Bug river
from the east of Chelm to east of
Lemberg. Between krylow and So
kal their attacks have been princi-
pally severe, compelling the Germans
to send reinforcements, probably in
tended to support o Mackensen, to
meet them.
There is no diminution in the Ital-
ian offensive along the Isonzo river,
which the Italians say is proceeding
favorably for them, but which the
Austrians declare is meeting with
no Success
