Georges. France, October &c.
1918. On the afternoon Of Oc-
tober Is, when the Cote de Cha
tillen had just been gained after
bitter fighting, and the summit
of that strong bulwark in the
krienhilde Stellung was being
organized, Private Neibour was
sent out on patrol with his au-
tomato rifle squad to enfilade
enemy machine gun nests. As
Private Neibour gained the ridge
he set up his automatic rifle anu
was directly thereafter wounded
in both legs by fire from hos
tile machine gun on his flank.
The advance wave of the enemy
troops cOunter-attacking had
about gained the ridge and nj
though practically cut off and
surrounded, the remainder of
his detachment being killed or
wounded, this gallant soldier
kept his automatic rifle In op-
Grafton to such effect that by
his own efforts and by fire from
the skirmish line Of his conf
pany at least 100 yards in his
rear, the attack els checked.
The enemy wave beia halted and
lying prone, four Of the enemy
attacked Private Neibour mt
close quarters. These he killed.
He then moved along among the
enemy lying on the ground about
him, in the midst of the fire
from his own lines, and by his
GOODNESS and gallentry captured
eleven prisoners at the point of
his pistol and. although pain
fully wounded, brought them
back to our lines. The counter
attack in full force was arrest
ed, to a large extent, by the
single efforts of this soldier,
whose heroic exploits took place
against the skyline in full view
of his entire battalion.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 25.--'When
President A. c. Townley OF the Ma
tionaf Nonpartisan league, addressing
a mass meeting at Fargo, intimated
that as a result of Fargo's attitude in
the ! Scandinavian-Ameri bank
matter, it was to lose the first state
owned mill and elevator to Grand
Forks. he was expressing his personal
opinion and not attempting to speak
for the state industrial commission"
said John n. Hagen, commissioner of
agriculture and labor, and a member
Of the Industrial commission, when
interviewed at his home here this
morning. %
Mr.. Hagan expressed the belief
that the league press in reporting Mr..
Townley's speech laid more stress
than was warranted on his comment
with regard to the location Of the firstt
public enterprise.
No Action Taken.
1.-THE industrial commission has
taken no action in this matter" said
Mr.. Hagan. I'VE are not in posi-
tion to act until We have obtained
more data than now is available. At
present it would be impossible for me
to say for the commission where the
first mill and elevator will be located.

undertook to express only his own
views on the subject. He did not, r
am certain, wish to convey the i'm
preston that he spoke for the indus
trial commission.
Only General Plans.
LAS yet the commission has only a
general idea of what the first mill
and elevator will be. We are con-
sidering a 100000 bushel capacity
elevator and mill which will turn out
5000 barrels daily.
"In connection with the mill, we
propose to install a big power plant.
with the idea of adding a cold storage
plant later. AS to how many men will
be employed by this enterprise I
could only hazard rough guess. We
are of the opinion, however, that the

Commissioner Hagan's interview is
important in that it is the first init
nation received since the mass meet
ing in Fargo last Tuesday that entries
for the first state owned enterprise
to be located by the league are not
closed and that the field is still open
to all contenders, including, presum-
| ably, Fargo.
