turn in the twelfth week OF the strike.
The record of the first four days in
dicates TINT the output will be we'll
above the 5000, 900 ton mark and
may approach 100000 tons. Pro
duction OF anthracite coal remains
practically zero.
Complete returns on the eleventh
week June 1924 show "A production
OF 1885, 900 tons OF soft coal and
$4,000 tons Of anthracite. The to-.
tai raised was thus 5,OOs,O tons.
\ year ago the total outpu, of all
coal, including anthracite, was e,igO,-
600 tons. In the year of active bust
ness, 1920, it was ii,950,OOO tons
Regarding anthracite and bitummous
coal as Il common supply OF fuel, it
will be seen that the quantity OF coal

DOUBTS MORE
RATE DECREASES
Chairman Millhollan of Rail
Body Hopes to Hold Those,
Already Made

pi It is doubtful if, further reductions
will be made en- freight rates in Nortn
Dakota by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, but the railroad COM
mission hopes to hold reductions al
ready made in grain and livestock
rates in the state, Chairman Frank
Milholland, of the commission, said
today upon his return from Washing
ton where he, Commissioner Stutsman
and Rate Expert Smart attended
hearings being conducted by the ma
tional commission.
There also is possibility Of some re-
duction in passenger rates, Mr.. Mil
hollana said, though, h saiA the car
riers held that they could not meet
expenses with rate reductions.
"The testimony Of the carriers
shows the railroads are in bad con-
dition, but it is conceded by all that
one of the reasons is the exorbitant
rates which prevent many commodi-
ties from moving" Mr.. Milholland
said.

BANK AWARDED
VERDICT OVER
PAVING FIRM
Case Grew Out of Paving II
Bismarck During The
Year 1917

An echo Of the paving in Bismarck
in 1917 was heard in district court in
the case Of the Bismarck Bank against
the Ford Paving company, which laid
the paving.
The company had contracted with
the Turtle Greek Sand and Gravel
company for material and the sand
and gravel company had assigned the
contract to the bank. The bank sued
to collect money alleged due on the
contract and was awarded judgment
for $525.76, approximately the amount
asked.
The paving company alleged that
the sand and gravel company had
committed breach of contract in that
it had not delivered the amount of
materials contracted for, forcing the
paving company to buy elsewhere at
higher prices. Attorneys for the
bank were Benton Baker and Alfred
,Zuger.
Two cases were stricken from the
calendar because the plaintiffs failed
to appear. They were that of A.. j..
Dufresne against the workmen's com
pensation bureau in which he alleged
he had suffered skin infection from
towels and that of Jacob Kelherer
against Francis Jaszkowiak. The
case of Gerald Pierce against the COM
pensation bureau was stricken from
the calendar of this term.
Judge Coffey went to jamestown to
spend Sunday and will resume court
at $3.50 o'clock Monday morning.
Two state cases are set for Monday.
They are the state against Opperman
and the state against Wesley One OF

ably will be recalled for trial Tuesday

K Acceptance of the subcommittee
plan for another international gather

convene in Washington to discuss the

fare, appeared to be assured today by
the favorable sentiment manifested
among the various delegations.
Ssantupe Debates Nearly Over
Meantime In another subdivision of
the conference, the ground work was
laid for another International gather
ing which some delegates seemed to
regard as partial realization of
President Hardings plan for a con-
tinuing series of meetings to dis
cuss world affairs. The subcOm-
mittee on draft, headed by Elihu Root,
approved resolution putting over a
revision of the rules of warfare, to
a future conference, which it is con-
templated shall be called by the
Unitsi States in the near future.
For the first time in several weeks,
discussion of the Washington nego-
tiations broke out yesterday on the
floor Of the senate where resolu-
ton was presented by Senator Walsh,
Democrat, Montana, asking informa-
tion about the status of the Shantung
controversy. Both Senator'S Lodge
and Underwood, members of the Amer
fcan delegation told their colleague
the Shantung conversations were near
a conclusion and that if they failed,
there seemed to be no hope of bring,
Ing the question before the confer
ence proper.
On the naval side of the conference
the situation continued unchanged,
with Japan still withholding assent to
the Article dealing with Pacific forti-
fications. It developed, however, that
the objection was over inclusion Of
the Japanese islands of the BONN
group under the Qualifications status
quo" and that difference of view on
the question had arisen between the
Japanese delegates and their home
government.

jubilee celebration Tor Bismarck.
Historical Background.
The many historical events of Bis
marck and North Dakota and the
growth of the city will furnish a
myriad of subjects for the golden juh-
lice.
Bismarck soon jumped into a place
Of note in the new Northwest. The
Black Hills gold craze broke out and
Bismarck, being the nearest center to
the gold fields, became the jumping
of place. for thousands Of persons
seeking the new Eld0rado. Even in
that day it is recorded that many y
person seeking firtune there fell a
victim to the hate of the Red Man,
but stidd the tide flowed on.
Settlers Come In.
The first ten years Of the life OF
the town was marked by the influx
of many hardy settlers from the east,
ready to brave the then real dangers
of the west, where hostile Indians
lurked in many places. There was
early and general recognition, how
ever, of the possibilities and OF the
sure growth the town was to enjoy.
AS the railroad was pushed across the
continent. as Bismarck was made iap,-
tai Of Dakota territory and the capital
of the state OF North Dakota the city
assumed a greater prominence
The gold rush to the Black Hills,
the steamboat days on the Missouri,
the Custer massacre, and may other
historical incidents of the early days
of the city and territory would fur
nisl, q wealth Of material for a cele-
bration dericting history and progress.
&. It was within the last few years,
however, that Bismarck has made her
greatest strides in commercial de-
velopment. The first fifty years Of
life of the city has witnessed many
changes; the next fifty will see a
greater growth than in the first half
century. The completion Of the rail-
road to the Missouri river in 1877
marked an epoch in the city's history;
)he complication Of the vehicular
bridge and the stream of trans-con-
tinental auto tourists which will flow
across it marks another step in the
history of the city and western North
Dakota. The golden jubilee" will Of
fer a remarkable opportunity Tor a
celebration of unusual interest to the
people within the borders OF the state
