has been named actuary
for the state insurance department,
under a law effective July l., s. A.
Olsness, commissioner of insurance,
announced today. Employment of an
actuary had been recommended to
many sessions of the legislature and
especially urged by former Copmis-
sioner w. C. Taylor, but it was not
until the 1923 session that $4,000
annual appropriation was made for
this work, Commissioner Olsness said.
Mr.. Styles first duty will be to ex-
anime policy forms of companies do
ing business in the state with view
of determining if they are actuarily
sound. He will examine domestic in
surance companies. The state also
will be able to reciprocate with other
states in the matter Of examination.

formerly was with the Northwestern
Fire Mutual Of Fargo, and the Pio-
neer Life company of that city, he
said, and recently has been with the
insurance and jobbing agencies in

the South Dakota insurance, depart
ment. His brother is a former law

Chicago, July 12.-Wheat and
flour are, at the lowest levels since
the World War.
For the first time since 1914
wheat sold"for less than $1.OO bus

Minneapolis millers cut the price Of

Brokers gave over-production the

causes for the depression. The
drop was further accelerated by
more optimistic reports from the

WATER WORKS
COST SET AT
$640,000.00
Final Figures in CONSTRUCTION,
Work Now Under Way
May Vary Some

Cost of the city water works when
completed. including the plant Of
the Bismarck water supply company.
will be about $64O.OOO, according to
figures given out today by T. r..
Atkinson, city engineer. Because Of
the changes which were necessary
in view Of the purchase of the pre-
sent water works system. the exact
cost has been difficult to ascertain.
The total cost, based on original
plans and including the purchase
price Of the water plant, is figured
at $665,OOO, but this probably will
be reduced $4,000 through changing
of the l6-inch main to Avenue c
from Broadway and other changes.
The cost, based on original plans,
is figured as follows: purchase
price, $265, 900; contract No. l, pur-
chase of cast iron pipe, ETC., $780,
600; contract No. 2. laying mains,
SOL 600; contract No. 8. filtration

No. 4, heating plant for filtration

s, equipment for filtration plant,
$24, $4,000; contract No. 6, pumping
equipment, $48,501.0O; Diesel en-
gines, other equipment $34,985.O0.
Each contract may vary some
what in the final analysis, it is stat
ed. Pumping equipment and some
other items in the present water
works are, discarded in the new sys-

STORM BRINGS
HARDSHIPS TO
MANY FARMERS
Particularly Serious to Then,
Coming, as ii Does, on Eve
of the Harvest
FREAKS OF THE STORM
Traveller in Bismarck Tells Of
Hard Coal Burner Carried
BY the Wind

The cyclone which struck heaviest
in southern Sheridan and Wells
counties Sunday has caused severe
hardship to many farmers in the
devastated area, according to M. F..
Daugherty, one of those who suffer
ed loss in the storm, in Bismarck
today at the Van Horn Hotel. In
places all buildings on farms were
wrecked and chickens and other
livestock killed and machinery
wrecked, he said. Coming as it
does, on the eve of harvest, it is
doubly hard on many farmers.
Queer actions of the twister are
reported by Mr.. Daugherty. The
wind picked up church-school OF
the Seventh Day. Adventists four
miles south of Denhoff, carried it
60. rods and set it down without
damaging it in the least, he said.
Mr.. Daugherty's house was wreck
ed, but he was not at home. The
wind split the house and scattered
it so that he was able to find only
few pieces of it. A coal burner
in the house was found almost q
half mile away from where the
house had been.
A fine new hip-barn Of George
Payscno, farmer and contractor liv-
ing nine miles south Of Denhoff
was completely destroyed. The barn
cost $4,000. A number Of horses
were in the barn. Pieces OF wood
were driven into the flesh Of some
of the horses, who ran wild about
the barnlot. Nine horses were kill
ed. Mr.. Payscno's loss was esti.
mated at $4,000, with but $4,000
tornado insurance. He was Mt She&
by, Montana, for the Fourth of July
fight and did not return until after
the storm.
Mr.. Daugherty's home was two
miles from the home Of Carl Fand'
rick, seven miles south of Denhoff
where Mrs. Fandrick was killed. She
was driving chickens into a small
chicken house, he said, when the
wind literally buried her under the
timbers of the wrecked chicken
house. When a search was institut-
ed for her it was not suspected that
she had been buried under the chick
en- house and she was found only
because small boy saw one hand
sticking out from under the tim.
bers.
The storm was exceptionally heavy
about 10 miles south Of Denhoff
he said. No damage was seen by
him from a point six miles north OF
Wing, Burleigh county.
w. e. Nichols, in the northern
part of the county, suffered a heavy
loss. He informed friends here
nothing but an automobile and part
of his house was left. The family
including three small children, es'
capped death by what Mr.. Nichols
termed a miracle
An insurance adjuster reported
that in adjusting the loss on one
barn, he found two by four timberi
twisted like ropes but windows II

INJUNCTION IN
RAILROADS.&C.
PERMANET
Federal Judge WilkersOn
Signs Famous Daugherty-
Injunction Papers
NJ A KES STATEM M E N T
Incredible, He Says, that
"Warfare" of Kind Should
Exist in America

Chicago, July IA final decree
making permanent the temporary in
junction obtained by the United
States government in federal court
here October s, 1922 against the
railway employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, it's
officers and others, restraining
them from interfering in any man
ner, shape or form in the operation
Of railroads during the nation-wid
shopmen's strike, was entered today
by Judge James H. Wilkerson of
the United States district court.
The decree making permanent the
injunction, which is considered the
most widespread restraining order
ever obtained in the history of liti-
CATION, affects approximately 4O0,-
900 railway employees and officers Of
the shopcrafts concerned in the
strike. The injunction was applied
for by United States Attorney Cen
eral Henry M. Daugherty on Sep
tember l, 1922. nearly two months
after the inception of the strike.
Theoretically the strike still is in
effect. The shopmen left their
posts Of duty on July I, 1922 when
the U. s. Railroad Labor Board
made cut in their wages, effec-
tive that date. The strike continued
for more than two months.
The men returned to work in Sep
tember on the basis of what was
known as the Baltimore agreement
which was entered into by 81 major
railroads of the country. The
agreement left the question Of SEN
iority, which has been the main
bone Of contention after the strike
had extended into a month, to a
commission to decide.
Statement Of Judge
In making the injunction perman-
ent Judge Wilkerson said in part:
1T seems almost incredible that
the warfare of the kind described in
the voluminous record in this case
should be In this country. It is
even more ominous that this unlaw-
full assault upon the commerce of
the nation should have found apollo
gists and defenders (including only a
few happily, however) Of those
charged with the duty of protecting
property and enforcing the law.
"This strike was more than a con-
troversy between employer and EN-.
ploye. Its manifest purpose as
shown by the evidence was to Grip.
pie and destroy interstate commerce
and to create by this assault public
opinion hostile to the decision OF
the board. The primary purpose Of
the combination Is. therefore, lille.
gal and it may not be carried out by
means that otherwise would be ls.
