TAX SALE AT
BEACH SUCCESS
Over $4,000 Paid in for Farm
Lands and City Pro-,
perty

Beach. \. D., Dec 20.--COunty Aud
itor Mccarthy is undoubtedly the best
realty salesman in the county, in fact
one of the best in the state. He sold
for spot cash over $45,CUJ worth OF
land and lots in this county. The
sale Of delinquent taxes was huge
success from a financial! viewpoint
for the state and county, all farm
lands being sold. and q fair quantity
Of city property. Most Of the pro
perty went on bids averaging II per
cent, nine per cent being the lowest
bid. one especially favorable feature
of the sale being the fact that three
quarters of the sales We're made to
locpl naOple The fact that home
folks bought in these taxes show two
things: That they have confidence in
the value Of the land, and that, as one
expressed it, confidence that another
year will find the property owners
able to redeem, making the invest
ment perfectly safe in either event.
It has been feared that owing to the
conditions OF the money market there
would be few bidders for the taxes,
and that the county would therefore
suffer for want Of funds the coming
year. but the splendid sale has dis
sipated this fear and the county OIL
cials are rejoicing at the outcome
In many counties there have oeen
virtually no bidders.

HARDING SEES
PEACE PROGRESS
Believes Conferences Are Hav-

Marion, o., Dec. 20.-President-e elect
Harding began the second week of
his consultations on foreign relations
today with an air Of glowing conf
dence that he will realize his hope
of an equitable and practical solu
ton Of the peace league tangle.
He indicated that the plan for az
international association gradually
was assuming definite outline. \
world court to decide the suits under
4 codified international law is un-
hcrstoOd to be paramount in his con-
Sideraton for the foundation of a new
structure.
Among those having appointments
with Senator Harding today was Sen
atOr J. x. Shields, Of Tennessee.
Democrat, member Of the senate for
eign relations committee who opposed
ratification Of the league of nations
with reservation. Charles DeWes,
Chicago banker, who frequently has
been mentioned for secretary of the

$4,000 PAID
IN INCOME TAX
Fargo Office Reports Collections
of Fourth Installment

Fargo, Dec. 20.-More than $225.-
0C0 in income taxes for the fourth
1920 installment was collected Dec. Is
and 16 at the United States internal
revenue office, 812 Second av N, &C
cording to George 7. Standish, assis
tant chief of the fargo office.
Although the fourth installment OF
the 1920 income tax receipts was less
than the third installment a large per-
centage OF income tax payments was
made this time, said Mr.. Standish.
Except for comparatively few delin-
uuents the 1920 business is we'll
cleaned up, he said.
The reason fer the large amount
collected when the third tax install
ment was due, Mr.. Stanish explained,
was because many Of the larger in
come tax payers settled their entire
accounts with the government IN
stead Of waiting for the date OF the
fourth installment.
Fourth installments on income
taxes must be paid within 10 days
following the date they are due, or
in the present case, on Dec. 10. IL
they are not paid then a per cent
penalty is added with an additional
penalty Of percent month tor every
month the taxes remain unpaid there
after, until the tax is paid or property
of the delinuuent is seized.

FULL SPEED IS
ORDER ON WORK
At BRIDGE SITE
Crews Start from Both Sides of
River to Rebuild Temper
ary Bridge
NEARLY 100 EMPLOYED
River is Frozen Solidly, Vehicles
Driving Across the Ice
Today
NEARLY 100 EMPLOYED

Full steam ahead was ordered at
the BismarckMandan bridge today.
With the river frozen over so solid
ly that there is no expectation Of the
ice going out before spring there will
be no interruption in the work. Until
Friday there was a probability exist
ing that the ice would go out again.
Workmen started building a light
temporary bridge across the river, re-
building that portion which was wash
ed out when the ice broke a few weeks
ago. Crews began working from botn
sides, and it IS expected the bridge
viii be completed in q very short
time. A suggestion advanced after
the ice broke that the narrow gauge
railroad necessary for the construction
work be built on the ice was not
adopted.
Large Payroll
A full crew of about 100 men was
at work on the bridge today. The
weekly payroll Of the Foundation com
pany, contractors, amounts to several
thousand dollars. The same crew,
composed chiefly Of local men, will
continue work all winter, it is ex-
pected.
Pier No. /, on the east side Of the
river, has been sealed, and concrete
pillars are being erected. Work has
been going ahead steadily on pier No.
4. on the Mandan side, and from now
on work will progress rapidly on pier
No 3, in the river. AS soon as the
temporary bridge is completed work
on pier No. 2 will begin. The con-
tractors hope to make up all the time
lost when the ice broke.
The river is frozen solidly. Today
vehicles were driving across. They
found the ice rough, however.

STATE AID ROAD
IN WARDCOUNT'Y
IS COMP Ed
Government Pays Fifty Per

County Same

MlnOt, y. D., Dec. U.--The first state
and federal aid project in Ward com
~ 10 )c competed is the MinOt-Bur-
iington state road from the mainten
ance Of which the Minot COnstruc,
ion CO.. to which the contract WIS
awarded in June, was relieved by the
state highway commission this week.
The highway is now under coulty
maintenance.
The project was surveyed in April,
J.J, but the contract for its cOnstruc
Ion was not awarded until June of
+HiS veHr. there being delays encoun-
tered in complying with the federal re,
Quirements before letting the contract
and shortage of labor experienced at
ter the contract was let. The road
is now under heavy traffic, all the
trucks hauling coal from Burlington
coming over it, and although the
grayel used was not screened owing
10 lack Of funds, it is the most sub
stautiallT built highway in this sec
ton of the state. Final inspection
IS yet to be made by federal engineers
but it is believed they will approve it.
Tn final estimate as submitted 10
the state highway commission by H
&. Frahm, surveyor for Ward county
gives the cost as follows; grading
S12,G57yS1; culverts and guard rails
$7,3S344; graveling, $14,SS9.45, a total
Ct s34,I3O.70.
This total is about $3,5OO under the
original estimate, the saving being
effected by opening new gravel pits
and putting temporary bridge across
the Mouse river and hauling gravel
from the north side Of the stream.
The cost of the work is divided be-

HELD A BURDEN

Berlin, Dec. 2O.-Surrender to the
allies of 100000 milch cows which
have been demanded under the terms
of the Versailles treaty would have
disastrous results in Germany, says
a letter to the women in France from
a committee of German women. For
nearly six years the population OF
German cities have not had milk, the
letter asserts, and owing to this the
death rate from tuberculosis has dou
bled since 1913 and $4,000 more chill
dren died in 1918 than in 1913. In
Prussia alone there has been an in
crease In child mortality Of 100 per
