ment Salvage Department possible
saying that the city would save about
fifty per cent. He also recommend
ed building a reservoir with a capacity
of $4,000 gallons for the present, with
large enough pumping station so
that in case of fire. should the reser-
voir be drained the water could be
pumped directly into the water main.
The $4,000 gallons, he said would. in
case of fire, supply eight fire hose
with a heavy stream of water for
two consecutive hours.
Mr.. Gillig did not advise installing
a filter at first as the people here
have cistern water for drinking.
People Want Water-Works
When Mr.. Gillig had finished his
report Mayor Barry gave the citizens
who were there an opportunity to
voice their sentiment in the way of
water-works.
Mr.. r. B. Pierce was the first to
speak and he was straight out for
building a water-system to cover the
entire city. As to raising the money.
he said it would be raised because the
people of the town wanted water
works
Jno. d. Babbage, editor of The
Breckenridge News, urged the Mayor
to take some definite action on the
matter without delay. He agreed with
Mr. Gillig in saying that the money
lost in fires in Cloverport would have
built fine water-system. Mr. Bah
bage added that whenever the peo-
pie of Cloverport wanted thing they
found the way and the money to
get it, and he firmly believed that
there was no doubt but what the peo-
pie would vote the bond issue.

Citizens Want 1t. Mayor
To Call An Election.

building water-works The town could
not be bonded heavily enough to build
the plant, so the citizens paid for
laying their individual pipe lines and
they were eventually paid back the
money by credit on their water bills.
This seemed very feasible plan for
Cloverport.
Miss Ray Lewis Heyser, assistant
cashier of the Breckenridge Bank of
Cloverport, who had a big share in
helping to raise the money for the
federal highway said that when the
people paid their subscriptions for the
road, there were any number who
stated that If the money was being
paid for water-works they would
double their subscriptions. Miss Hey
ser offered her services to help secure
the funds when the time came to
build the plant
Messrs J. W. Pate, Marion Wealth
erholt and J. c. Nolte made speeches
that were short and to the point in
favor of building water-works.
Mayor to Call An Election.
After hearing these talks, Mayor
Barry could not help but know that
the general sentiment of the people
was to have water-works and it was
up TO him to take some definite action
IN the matter. So the councilmen "a
greed to adjourn subject to a call
meeting of the Mayor. In the mean
time Mr.. Gillig is to make an estima-
ton of the cost for building a plant
here-and submit it to Mayor Barry.
As soon as Mayor Barry receives Mr..
Gillig's report he will call meeting of
his councilmen and decide when to
call an election to vote the bond

$4,000 Already Available.

1t has been roughly estimated that
to build complete watersystem for
Cloverport it would cost between $780,
600 and $4,000 According to the last
act of the Legislature, Cloverport can
not be bonded for more than $4,000,
and getting the balance of the money
is the question for deliberation.
Mr. Gillig, in his report before the
City Council, stated that the $1,000
would build the tower, reservoir,
pumping station and an 8 inch pipe
main the entire length of Main street
from Solbrig's corner in the East

at Frankfort.
As a consequence of the enforced
absence | find that | have fallen con-
siderable behind with the work and
! regret the circumstance very much
The two proposed amendments to
the constitutions. one providing for
the appointment instead of election of
State School Superintendent and the
other relative to the distribution of
the school fund have passed both
Houses, so you will have an appor-
tunity, to vote for or against them in

State Road Bill.
The Road bill with its many pro-
jects and various amendments will be
again reported in the House and pass
ed. OF course this measure will be of
no benefit unless sufficient revenue is
provided.
Among others the bill embodies the
extension of two projects of special
interest to you. One from Hartford
via Fordsville, entering Breckenridge
county near Askins and terminating
at Hardinsburg. The other from
Leitchheld, entering near McDaniels
and also extending to and ending at
Hardinsburg.
Since she already has the Federal
Highway, it was not the original in
tention of the bill to include Brock
inridge county in any of its projects
and it was only her favorable posi-
ton in relation to Ohio and Grayson
counties that enabled her to secure
these extensions.
1t must be understood that other
sections of the county have not been
Disseminated against.
1t is just that the section benefit
ed were i'm a position consistent with
the projects in Ohio and Grayson.
Following is brief outline OF the
progress of bill which may be of
some interest.
The Progress OF a Bill.
After a bill is introduced into the
House of Representatives, it is as
signed by the Speaker of the House
to one of the Committees. In the
Committee the bill is discussed as to
its value to the people whether It

will increase the taxes of the people.
what effect il will have upon the laws

if majority of the Committee do not
favor the bill, they render an 'un-
favorable report to the House which

ORPHANS HOME
LOSES SOLICITOR

"Help the needy orphans" was the
motto of Billy O'Keefe, 80, who was
arrested last night by the local police,
on complaint of citizens in the east
part of the city, who became suspic-
ious of Williams appeal for the moth
erless and fatherless, and asked the
police to investigate the affair. He is
said to have been soliciting funds for
an orphans home in Fargo, but it will
develop, it is believed, upon closer ex-
animation that the money never reach
ed Fargo.
AS the amount of the funds collect
ed from each of the parties is small
it is not likely that they will appear
against him in court, but a charge of
vagrancy will perhaps be lodged
against him. He is being held in the
city Jail at the present time.
Jennie Smith, prostitute, was
picked up at one o'clock last night
by the police. She is charged with
vagrancy. A hearing will be given
here before Justice label this after
noon at 4 o'clock.

Y0UNC'S STAND
IS ENDORSED

Members of the Burleigh County
Farmers League, and Of the state or
ganization, in session at Bismarck
Thursday, passed the following reso-
luton relating to the stand taken by
Congressman George M. Young of
Valley City, regarding the revival of
the tariff on farm products and pro-
viding for a manner in which to fl
nance the farmer during the period OF
readjustment. The resolution:
Whereas, Congressman Geo. M
Young has introduced bill in Con-
gress for a tariff of fifty cents a
bushel on wheat and rye and on other
farm products in proportion and some
of a percentage basis, and
Whereas, Agriculture has been
slapped in the fact by lack of financ-
es, careless and Indifferent legislation
both by state and national legislation
and especially national legislation
which has a tendency not only to
ruin the farmers of this country but
also is undermining the welfare of
our nation, for lack of food means
starvation and stagnation.
Therefore, be it resolved that we
endorse the action taken by our Con-
gressman Mr.. Young and ask every
member of the Farmers Union and
all other farmers and every farmer
body of the state and other states to
write their congressman for speedy
passage Of said bill.

new FINANCIAL
PLAN ADOPTED

Organization of North Dakota fl
nance corporation, with capital of a
million dollars for purpose of market
ing North Dakota securities was de-
cided upon at meeting in Fargo yes
terday of finance committee Of North
Dakota Bankers association.
The cooperation will be launched
as result of the decision of bankers to
pool their resources in such manner
as to bring additional money into
North Dakota. According to the plan
that is outlined, every member bank
of the North Dakota Bankers associ-
alton will be invited to take stock.
The capital stock being apportioned
on basis of the capital stock surplus
and general condition of the bank to
which it is offered. The minimum that
May be taken is five hundred and the
maximum $4,000.
The details of corporation plan will
be worked out by special committee
consisting of George Hollfstel, of
Fargo; Ed Pierce, of Sheldon; E. j.:
Weiser, of Fargo; J. J. Niering, of
Jamestown; F. w. Cathro, Of Bis
narck; H. P. Beckwith, of Fargo, and
w. C. McFadden, of Fargo.
The corporation will be operated in
connection with the North Dakota
Bankers association, and will be
placed in the hands of the most expert
bond men the organization can obtain.
The corporation will negotiate war
rants and mortgages and issue de-
bentures against them. It is the be-
lief of sponsors of the corporation
that it will become a permanent part
of the financial structure of North
Dakota.
1.-THE corporation will not be COM
petitive with other banks, but will be
operated in such manner as to bring
good returns and the better handling
of the state paper for all concerned"
said Mr.McF Fadden today, in announc-
ing organization plan.
'"There is need for just such cor
poration as this. Our canvass of the
state has shown that there is about
$4,000 900 in warrants of various kinds
in the banks, and about $4,000, 900 in
farm mortgages. To a central organ
ization such as this corporation will
apply, it would be much easier to
market this kind of paper than it has
been heretofore"

TAXI JONES
IN THE TOLLS

We heard many rumors of what
Lane Moloney, federal prohibition
agent did when he was at Valley City
yesterday but could not get the facts
as we did not get chance to inter
view the office. We heard that Mr..
Jones had been found with the goods
but let the story go as rumor because
there are so many rumors of like ma
ture floating around without official
confirmation. However, the following
is taken from the Fargo Courier
News this morning and must be given
due credence as it is purported to
come from Mr.. Moloney himself:
"A quantity of contraband Canadian
liquor was found yesterday in. the
residence of Charles Jones, taxi line
operator of Valley City, by Lane Ma
loney, group chief Of the Fargo Of
fee, and assistant, who returned
from that place yesterday afternoon:
bringing with him the whisky seized,
Legal procedure will be taken against
Jones for violation of the national
prohibition laws in having liquor in
his possession, it was stated by the
officers"
