FAILURE To
INSPECT WORK
NOT A REASON
Informal Opinion Rendered
on Holding Up Side
walk Estimates

The law requires that the city en-
gineer inspect public works during
their construction, but the fact that
he does not do so is no valid reason
for the city Withholding payment on
the contract, according to an informal
opinion given the city commission by
Judge B. F. Spalding, assistant city
attorney, this morning.
The commission has been withhold
ing payment on $470 in estimates for
Robert Johnson, sidewalk contractor,
for the erection Of sidewalks in Ty-
ler's addition for the reason that the
city engineer had refused to vouch for
the quality OF the work on the grounds
that he had been unable to inspect 1t
while in process of construction. I'm
der the contract entered into with Mr..
Johnson by the city, the work is guar
anteed for two years.
President Alex Stern and other
members of the commission are of the
opinion that Mr.. Johnson is entitled to
immediate payment on the estimates,
but want to stay within the law in
order to not invalidate the assess
ments. A formal opinion will be pre-
scented by Judge Spalding at another
special session of the commission
Friday morning.

ably will be reached in the senate

the senate draft.
Despite continued opposition and
the certainty of some amendments,
ultimate enactment of the legislation
in some form Is conceded. Senator
Chamberlain said last night it was
possible that the bill would be finally
enacted by July 1, as desired by the
president, but few shared his optim-
ism, the general opinion expressed be-
ing for two more weeks at least Of
senate debate.

UNEASINESS
In GERMANY
Entrance of America Causes
Serious Unrest Says
French Secretary
nv Asaociated Press.l

Paris, June 21.-Jules Cambon, gen.
eral secretary Of the ministry of fore
ign affairs, declared that the entrance
of America into the war had caused
serious unrest in Germany.
In an interview with a cores
pendent of the Associated Press to-
day. he said:>
"a feeling of serious unrest was
caused in Germany by the entry into
the struggle of a country which
brings to the allies, together with its
entire strength, a freshness. and
ardor which have not been diminished
by three years of war Germany feels
that America. once engaged in the
struggle will not give up. 1t is to pre-
vent this cementing of close ties that
it is multiplying it's efforts to spread
dissension among the allies.
"The incident of the Swiss Socialist
Grimm's intrigue in Russia reveals
German handwork and is one of the
straws showing how uneasy and
troubled Berlin is because of America.
In France everyone realizes that this
uneasiness and fear are justified.

As YEARS TODAY
Since HIGHLAND
Man HIT STATE
Myhra, rs, Hale and Hearty,
Talks of Old Times in
Fargo Today

| Forty-six years ago today, H. G. N.
Myhra, Of Richland county, first laid
eyes upon North Dakota, when he
crossed the Red river by way of the
pioneer days ferry at Fort Abercrom-
bic, south of Fargo, coming to the
state from Fillmore county, MINI.
Mr.. Myhra, rs years Of age, who
declares he never denied himself a
| smoke, is as hale and hearty as ever,
and is spending the day in Fargo and
Moorhead, visiting friends and his
daughters, Mrs. Ed. Wilson, and Mrs.
f. Magnuson, both OF Moorhead.
Mr.. Myhra probably was the oldest
delegate in attendance at the district
Republican convention held in Grand
Forks Wednesday.
1T was the best convention have
ever attended. and guess have par
tfctpated in about as many Republican
conventions as anybody in the state"
said Mr.. Myhra this morning. THE con-
vention was thoroughly representa-
tive of the district. and feel the Re-
publicans, in Mr.. Burtness, have a
candidate for whom they can unite
their support"
When Mr. Myhra came to North Da-
kota, the state was in it's infancy. For
several years he was employed on fiat
boats on the Red river running to
Fort Garry, now Winnipeg. Fargo was
then but struggling frontier post.
Il can remember" said Mr.. Myhra,
of the grasshopper years we used to
have. Along the Red river, in which is
now Fargo, dead trees would be cover
ed with the hoppers, while down in
Minnesota. the trains were unable to
operate because the steel rails were
SO loaded with the pests that the
wheels couldn't take hold. The rail-
road then ran only to Benson, MINI.
"In those days, we used to drive
with oxen to Alexandria. Mimi, each
fall for our provisions, the trip re-
curing several days.
Mr.. Myhra was once census enum-
orator in the old days. when Indians
held forth in the Richland district,
being appointed by the late Major Ed
wards. He also was postmaster at
Kongsberg, the Office being established
in 1879, and continuing 10 years. He
also served three terms as clerk of
court of Richland county.

UNFAIR COMPETITION IS
KILLING SMALL MERCHANT
Manufacturers Sell Direct to Chain
Stores is Claim of Wholesalers
in Convention.
(By Associated Press,l

Chicago, June 21.-Unfair competi-
ton, according to committee report
to the Liberty Convention" of the
National Wholesale Grocers' associa-
ton, is driving small retailers from
business in increasing numbers.
The alleged unfairness consists ac-
cording to the report, in manufactur-
ers selling large consignments direct
to chain stores. mail order houses and
department stores at prices normally
charged the wholesaler and at which
the manufactures. cannot prof1tably
sell to the individual small dealers.
The report showing there are 523, 1893
retail merchants including 31S,6S1
groceries in the United States as
serts:
THE tendency to eliminate the small
man is therefore toward monopoly and
under present conditions this tendency
will soon become an accelerated move
ment which will sweep thousands of
American retailers to eventual ruin"
The report states that hitherto the
government has acted only after
strong monopolies have been establish
ed, and says:
1T now remains to be seen whether
the government will permit greater
monopoly than any that has preceded
1t to take control Of the first necessi-
ties of life"

Among many amendments proposed
was one by Mr.. Lenroot limiting its
operation to the war period instead of
to one year after the war. Represen-
tative Lever agreed to such an
amendment. Senator Kenyon propos-
ed senate amendments which would
remove all possibility of seizure of
