WANT RATE ON
FLAX REDUCED
Railroad Commission Seeks a Ten
Per Cent Reduction

A reduction of 10 percent in freight
rates on flax seed will be sought by
V. E. Smart, traffic expert of the rail
road commission, who left Bismarck
today with instructions from the rail-
road commission to present the case
to railroad heads in the Twin Cities
and the Central Traffic Association
in Chicago.
When the reduction on freight rates
on wheat and other grains was made
during the winter flax was not dnclud-
ed, because 1t was classed as seed,
Mr.. Smart said. Formerly flax was
transported In the same classification
as wheat and other grains. Some rail-
roads, it is said, have expressed will
lngness to change the classification
to permit flax to be carried at lower
rate.
Mr.. Smart will represent the North
Dakota commission at Washington at
the hearing of the application of the
American Express Company for an
increase of 13 ~ percent in intra-
state express rates. The North Dakota
commission has joined with some
other states in the matter which will
be presented by John Benton, gen
eral solicitor for the national utility
boards association.

Genoa, April 28.-QBy the A. P.)-
Divergence has developed between the

Frances terrible losses. They are de-
scribed as pushing Premier 'Poincare

prospects of spring farm work, the
reopening of the copper mines and
the large increase in buildings pro.

unemployment situation and has main
tanned retail trade at an unchanged

He also says:
"The agricultural outlook at this
season of the year is good. The con-
dition of the winter sown crop Is bet
ter in this district than the average
for the whole United States with an
especially promising outlook for rye.
Confidence was sustained in March by
an increase in prices for nearly all
farm products. Grain has been COM
Ing to market at a normal rate and
livestock even more rapidly. This has
given purchasing power to the farmer
which has been reflected in doubling
of implement sales and a substantial
increase in wholesale sales of Aar,l-
ware and quadrupling of shipments
of calves for feeding purposes.
"The pecuniary volume of business
increased during the month 10 per
cent, as compared with an increase at
the same time last year of but
per cent. This has been due partly to
the better prices, but also to improve.
ment in important lines Of industry
and production. There were increases
in copper production, lumber manufac-

Of each resident to make the city as
presentable as possible. Measures will

good that it will not be necessary to

It is pointed out that the number of
tourists that will pass through Bis

FLORIDA LAND
DEAL CASE UP
IN HIGH COURT
George H. Paul Appeals in Case
In Which Sen. Ferdinand
Leutz Is Defendant
ASKS $25O,O0O DAMAGES
Case Comes to Supreme Court
After Trial in Mercer
County

The supreme court has taken under
consideration case involving claim
for $250,000 on contract for the ex-
change of North Dakota land with
cash for tract Of 10000 acres OF
land in Florida.
The case was instituted by George
II. Paul, formerly real estate dealer
Of Bismarck, and C. R. Evans against
Ferdinand Leutz, of Hebron, former
state senator and chief owner Of the
Hebron Brick and Tile Company.
Leutz was victorious in the lower
court.
Paul and Evans allege a contract
was entered in to on August II, 1920,
whereby they agreed to sell 10000
acres of 56,0OV acre tract Of land
near Telagia, Florida, 375 head of cat
tie, SO head of horses and machinery
to Mr.. Leutz for 100000, of which
$4,000 was to be paid in cash. They
alleged that they and Leutz were to
form corporation with 100000 cap
ital to own the land. They claim to
have secured the deed to the land, paid
out $20O,O00 and alleged that loss has
been suffered on the price of cattle
since the deal was made. Leutz, they
assert, failed to carry out the con-
tract.
Senator Leutz was, as a part of the
alleged deal, to turn over nine and
one-quarter sections of land in Mer-
Ger county, cattle, bonds and shares of
the Hebron brick plant. ..,.
Answering the suit, Senator Leutz's
attorneys said he had considered seek.
ing a milder climate, and that Paul
had promoted real estate sales in sew
eral states. His brief states that his
answer is "a general denial, coupled
with affirmative defenses of fraud,
want of consideration, denial of title
in the plaintiffs with respect to Flor
ida lands, Inadequate description, lack
Of mutually and equity"
The case was tried in district court
before Judge Thomas Pugh, who found
in favor of Senator Leutz.
