INSPECTION OF
ELECTRIC WORK
now REQUIRED

fact that every municipality in
North Dakota of 1000 population or
more must revise present fire ordi-
nances or enact new ones to provide.
for electrical inspection under an act
OF n last legislature has been en-
phasized by State Fire Marshal Fl.
l.. Reade, who also is chief electrical
inspector.
Comparatively few municipalities
now provide for electrical inspection,
and several are considering new fire
ordinances which do not carry the
necessary provision. The state fire
marshal urges that these ordinances
be amended in order that the cities
may comply with the law. Minot, he
declares, has a splendid fire ordi-
nance which provides for electrical in
spectlon and makes the inspector self
supporting. He suggests that other
municlpalities get in touch with the
Magic City.
At Minot, the state board of cleo
trlcal examiners in it's first meeting
passed on "a candidates for state IL
censeS1 as electricians. Such a license
is now required. from every electrician
operating in the state, whether he be
a journeyman, master or specialist.
At Rugby the state fire marshal sat
in an appeal from one of his decis-
ions condemning a building as a fire
trap, and his order was modified. In
the case of IL other structures which
he recently condemned at Rugby ac-
ton is being taken in compliance with
Fire Marshal Reade advises that the
inspection Of elevators by local depu-
ties Is progressing satisfactorily, and
that the disloyal elements have be-
come convinced that the destruction Of
food resources in North Dakota is not
a safe pastime for militant pacifists.

LEFOR NEWS

The big auction sale on Saturday
was a fine me-. A large crowd was
here. All the. horses and machinery,
etc, of Adam A. Lefor and Rosie
Huth were sold. After this auction
the Lefor Mercantile Co. held a store
auction in the large Lefor hall.
Every thing in the store was repre-
scented. The people took home loads
Of articles bought at this auction. Col.
b. B. Gilk was a]uctioneer and Cashier
Nick A. Lefor clerk. During the auc-
ton the goods sold so fast that the
cashier at the register receiving the
money had to bring it to a halt for
Is minutes, because the register was
getting hot. A force of Is clerks
was employed.
Another big auction is announced to
take place in the Lefor hall on Fri
day and Saturday of this week. The
Lefor Mercantile Co. has a lot of
goods for sale-among them being a
big lot of sugar, flour, dry goods,
hats, caps, shoes, hardware and any
thing from a toothpick to a diamond
ring. If the crowd turns out is big
on Friday and Saturday again We feel
that the sale will be a record break
er.-Adv.
A big dance was given at the Lefor
hall on Sunday evening, with a large
number from Gladstone, Regent, New
England, Dickinson and the surround
ing country present. The Lefor Mer-
camille Co. has announced a free
dance on Saturday evening of this
week, following the big auction sale.
Col. and Mrs. H. B. Gilk were visi-
tors in Lefor over Saturday of last
week.
Frank F. and Joseph H. Lefcr from
Dickinson stayed in town Friday and
Saturday of last week.
Miss Pauline Lefor, accompanied by
Mrs. Stefan Dietchinger, left for Chi
cago Thursday of last week, where
she will stay with Mrs. Geo. F. Wag-
ner and. go to school.
Principal. A. E. Wing and Miss R.
Mary Barry attended the teachers in
stitute in Dickinson last week. Others
who attended from Lefor were Jacob
and Domnik Lefor.
The new Lefor & Reiner company
garage is well under construction and
will be completed in a month.
Mail Carrier Jacob Nader has pur-
chased a new car from Lefor & Reiner
Auto Co. John Lefor, ST., has also
bought one.
During the last week Lefor ap-
peared to be the busiest place under
the sun. A crew of 80 teams was en-
ployed grading and fixing up the
streets all over town. Another crew
Of Is workmen was employed on the
new garage going up-another crew
Of carpenters putting up q new bunga-
low for Principal A. E. Wing in the
east end of town-and a force of men
working on the telephone lines around
town. Some remarked who passed
through here that even Chicago in the
busiest parts has nothing on Lefor.
Peter Kirsch of Gladstone was in
town, on business Monday.
Il. C. Rau has returned from his
home in Minnesota to teach in this
district. We are glad to see L. g.
back again.

Resolution Brought Out by
Chairman Flood and
Was introduced.
MAY COME TO A
VOTE ON FRIDAY
Simultaneous Consideration
in Both Houses Will
Probably Be Arranged
By Associated Press.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 5.-Post-
ponement of the Austrian war declara-
ton by congress until next week ap-
peared probable today after confer
ences between chairmen Of the senate
and house committees.
Chairman Flood of the house COM
mittee said he hoped to get the reso-
luton before the house tomorrow but
postponement until Friday appeared
probable. In such an event 1t was
not believed that the senate could
act before next week, unless simul-
taneous consideration in both houses
could be arranged.
To avoid delay, if possible, admin
istration leaders were hoping to ex-
pedite action by having an identical
resolution reported to the senate when
it reconvenes Friday and seek imme-
diate consideration.
Unanimous consent would be neces-
sary for the plan to succeed, but it
was possible that on Friday both bod
les Of congress might be debating SIM
liar resolutions. Many absent mem
bers of congress have telegraphed
asking delay Of vote until they can
arrive.
Chairman Stone, of the senate COM
mittee aud Chairman Flood OF the
house committee believe the war
resolution as finally passed will apply
to Austria only.

were proceeding disconsolately toward
the German prison cages under the
escort OF twenty German soldiers when
they came upon small body of Brit

ALL NEEDED IS A
SUITABLE SITE
Ships Will Cost About
Twenty Million, Requiring
Five Years to Build.
Washington Bureau
The Pensacola Journal

Washington, D. C.. Dec. st ap-
pears most likely that Pensacola is to
get a shipyard to build ten large
steel ships for government. to cost
between S15,000.000 and $4,000, 900.
The contract has been awarded to the
Ketler Elliott Erection Company, of
Chicago, and all that remains to bring
the plant to Pensacola is for the city
commissioners OF that city to furnish
the proper site for It,
The bringing of this project to
Florida seems to be another develop
ment for which Senator Fletcher
should get the credit. He heard that
the contract was under consideration
and some time ago went to work
quietly to have the Chicago concern
build its plant in Pensacola. About
three weeks ago he succeeded in hav-
ing a New York concern establish
plant at Tampa to construct ten big
steel ships, after the approval of the
shipping board had been obtained for
its location at Brunswick, Georgia
1t is estimated that the construction
of these ships will require from three
to five years and 1t is generally. be-
Heved permanent ship building yard
will be established at Pensacola. owing
to it's close proximity to Birmingham,
where structural steel can be obtained
and its nearness to an ample timber
supply.
Representatives OF the Ketler Com
pany were in Pensacola today it is
understood, and proper site arrange
ments have been about completed.
