Washington, March 10 sympathy

II was stated that opponents or
these measures had contested them in
the courts but the state was upheld
by the United States supreme court,
Then the banks refused to float the
bond issue.
THE word has gone forth, the ban
has been placed said the North Da-
kota representatives And now we
come to you. as our natural ally In
this great struggle.
There is no question about the
legality of these bonds II has been
tested In the courts. There Is no
question about their value. The fact
Is not questioned that the total in
debtedness OF the entire state of
North Dakota. including the proposed
bond issue OF $500 900, is less than
one half OF per cent of the assessed
valuable OF the state"
The executive council explained its
limitations To the North Dakotans.
who were Informed that the national

control of their funds The council
also stated that IL would aid them TO
the extent OF their ability and place
al their disposal the names and ad-

The conference approved the coun-
ellis action and declared that the

LOCAL MILL

High Prices Of Mill Work
Not Due To High"
Wages

Are local planning mills charging un
warranted prices for mill workY
This question has been asked sev.
eral times recently by people who are
contemplating the building Of homes.
and who have gone 20 the trouble of
prying into prices Of building material
before starting something they may
moi be financially able to finish
THAT local prices are unreasonably
high seems 10 be The opinion Of the in.
yestigators.
One man who just finished his house
told ms the other day that be bought
his mill work M nearb by town be.
cause he got II al about one-half the
price asked by a local concern This
work was the product OF d Chicago
mili~where wages are high, rent is
high and everything is high except
the finished work
II is said among local builders that
union made mill work can be bought
in Chicago. where The union scale is
81 10 an hour. transported to the Twin
Cities. and laid down on the job for
10 percent less than the same material
can be bought for locally. where the
union scale is s5 cents an hour.
II would seem. IN this case. that
wages have nothing to do with the
price demanded Tor the finished prod.
uet
II is probable that a greater per
centage of building material will be
shipped into the TNin Cities this
year than ever before, unless. OF
course, future developments show 10.
cal prices compare fDyorably with
those Of outsiders

Sheet Asphalt Mines

Quarrying asphalt like rock and mining it like coal may seem a bit un- orthodox to the city man, yet ttose are methods used in the asphalt depos- it's of southwestern Kentucky.
 It is regular asphalt they are digging out of the Kentucky hills--a mixture of sand and bitumen like that used for ordinary sheet asphalt pavements, the principal difference is in the making one is mixed by nature the other by man, says James C.>Kelly in an article appearing with illustrations in Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 First. the natural asphalt is quarried like rock. Later the dept of the vein may result in a mining operation. The surface soil or overburden is removed with hydraulic pressure. A powerful stream of water uproots trees. dis lodges rocks and washes them away with the soil into the valley, This leaves the asphalt rock exposed and ready for blasting. Donkey locomotives. cranes and shovels carry the rock to the brow of the hill. From there.it is handled by gravity-through the crush er pulverizing mill, and to the pages on the Nolin river.
 Getting the asphalt to market is an- other big undertaking. The nearest available railroad point is Bowling Green, Ky, distance of 71 miles by river. Two large river steamboats and a fleet of barges are used in this 'raf- | fife. The route is down Nolin river to the famous Green river and up the 'a.- ter to Bowling Green. At Bowling
 Green the asphalt is loaded dir sctly
 into cars or in winter months is stored
 up in great open pile ready for spring
 shipment. Although the industry 5 in its infancy, some 300 or 400 men gre
 employed at the quarries, plant and
 loading station.

M|LT COLLINS IN.
 THE EPATR|OT'--LYR|C

The Shamrock and Thistle Revue with Rose Maura, comedienne; kiltie pipe band and eight lads and lassles, will provide Lyric audiences with a topnotch<headline number the first half of the week. Rose Maura is a clever feminine funster and, supported by an able cast she is expected to receive a cordial reception. The skit is amply provided with songs dancing. anec- dotes, costumes and scenery, and is | hailed as an act that lives up to ad ' vance notices.
 Opening with the Nippon duo. billed as versatile entertainers from the Orient" the bill runs along smoothly, taking in Barry and Layton, couple of skaters; Milt Collins in "The Pa triot," a clever burlesque monologue and Keno, Fables and Wagner in Toy Fantasy"
 l Perhaps Milt Collins will strike the most popular chord, for he has spent much of his time around legislative halls, and is able to present on very broad lines composite of all political aspirants. This year "The Speaker oi the House" is seen in The Patriot and his humorous efforts to arouse the public are probably more effective than the dry oratory of serious speaker.
 | The screen attraction will be "The Flushing Bride" starring Aileen Percy This is the type of picture that finds wide appeal. and Miss Percy is de- clared to be at her best in it. Pathe News Weekly also will be shown.
