-Selken Family Settled in Vermont
Theo. Selken and family, who left
for the east with their automobile
several weeks ago are now located
at, Newfame, VT, where they have
purchased farm. Mrs. Selken writes
that they are now located on beau
tiful farm of 100 acres, with a modern
barn and big 14-room house, with
bath. The following from a Battleboro
paper, tells of their arrival in YER
mont:
Mr.. and Mrs Theodore Selken and
daughter, Violet, and son, Archie, ar
rived in Newfame Saturday after
q month of travel by automobile from
North Dakota Their Maxwell car
loaded in way similar to the Hamil-
ton cross country automobile, has at
forded not only means of transporta-
tion but provided for bed and board
on the long trip to Vermont.
They have bought, through Mr..
Jackman of Newfame, the o. R.
Wright farm on the West river and
will take possession at once.
The fact that their journey was
made without accident or illness and
that the people all along the way
were so kind and friendly, has made
their venture for home in Vermont
a real pleasure trip. Their success
in this move promises the coming OF
other families from North Dakota to
the east, where it is hoped they will
receive the same hearty welcome.

crowd will greet Johan Castberg, the
noted Norwegian, when he speaks at

speaks English fairly well, he can ex-
press himself more readily in his nat
I've tongue. This will be somewhat
Of IA disappointment to many who
would like, to hear him but TO those
who are familiar with the Norwegian
language, the lecture will be Z rare

WILL SUGGEST PLAN TO
CONTROL HIGH WATER

A. L. Dabney, civil engineer, has been
given a contract to make a survey and
suggest a plan for controlling the flood
waters of the Tennessee river at Chat
tanooga.
During every flood period in that river
for many years, about a third Of the
city of Chattanooga Is flooded. No
levee system. has ever been constructed
there. The plan is complicated by the
Chattanooga creek, which, fed by hun
dreds of small mountain streams, car
ries a large volume of water into the
Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Two years ago Mr.. Dabney suggested
a plan which would have involved the
expenditure Of several million dollars
for a levee system and protection dykes.
A. large plan is now contemplated, and
the sum Of $40, 900 has been appropriated
for the survey by the city and the
local chamber of commerce., Jointly.
Mr.. Dabney has associated with him in
the survey Nesbit Wingfield, Of Au-
gusta, Ga.

They pointed to the well known facts
that California cement had been ship

that California cement had been sent
