TO OUR CUSTOMERS:
Our Company has supplied you with water for al
most eight years, and our record is known to you. We
have not spared any feasible investment of capital or Of
effort to give you good service and we have never re-
ceived income enough to pay taxes, operating costs, de-
probation and a fair return on our capital invested. We
now meet a great expansion in the growth of our terri
tory, with every indication pointing to continued growth.
We must secure new capital to provide the additional
equipment this growth requires, and we cannot get it,
unless we earn a fair return upon the money invested
and to be expended. We are therefore compelled to ap-
ply to the Board of Public Utility Commissioners of the
State Of New Jersey for an increase in some of our rates,
effective for the quarter commencing July LIST, 1923.
The proposed rates are as follows:

SO COUNTIES
SEEK FEDERAL
HIGHWAYSA AID
Would Begin Projects During
The Year 1923, Associ-
alton Says

At least 36 of the So counties in
the state have requested the state
highway commission for federal ale,
for new projects to be placed under
construction during 1928, according to
the state good roads association.
This includes all the counties east
and north of the Missouri river ex-
cept three, which are Burleigh, Sher-
idan and Richland. Mckenzie coun-
ty, west of the Missouri is the only
new county of the Slope to under
take a new federal project. The as
ISOLATION statement says:
"For the past four years, state and
federal aid work has been under way
each year in no less than 35 or over
two-thirds of the counties of the
state. During 1923, federal and state
construction including work on 1922
or earlier projects will be proceedec
with in at least forty-two counties.
1T therefore appears that federal
aid has been and continues to be pop
ular with large majority of coun-
ties, especially in view of the fact
that under present laws counties
have had little to say about federal

REV. HALL TELLS OF MISSIONARY
WORK IN NO. OAK. SINCE 1874:
HIS FIRST SERMON in BISMARCK

Rev. c. l.. Hall of Fort Berthold
reservation, who has been connect
ed with missionary work since Oct
1874 relates in letter to "The Van
Hook Reporter something Of the
early history of the missionary sta
ton on the Indian reservation and
of conditions in this vicinity in
that early day.
The frontier of the Dakota ut that
time was Springfield, 30 miles up
the Missouri from Yankton.
"Bismarck was then just beginning
to be the terminus of the Northern
Pacific railroad at the MISSOURI.
There was nothing in between the
forts and the trading posts. Opposite
and above Springfield we're the sta
tons of the A. B. c. +. NJ. among
the Indians" the writer relates.
"Indian missionaries had been
looking forward to the occupation
of Fort Rerthold for some time
Fort Bcrthold was one of the Amer
lean Fur Company's trading posts
on the Missouri. It was about 90
miles by the trail above Bismarck.
Remnants of three tribes were ga
thcred about the post. They were
banded to help one another against
the more hostile Sioux or DakOtas.
The American board made the occu-
patton Of Fort Berthold special
object for the centennial year and
sent US to begin the work. On Feb,
90, 1876 was ordained foreign

work. In view of the fact that
such a small part of the land own
ed by the institution is capable Of
cultivation, we would recommend
that more tillable land should be
secured at once and that appro-
priation be provided therefore.
IF the above action (removing
girls to Bottineau) is taken, we
would recommend that there be
no appropriation for new buildings
at the present location at this
time.

REDUCTION OF
IMMIGRATION
IS PROPOSED
Japanese Would be Excluded
In New Plan Of
Committee y

Washington, Feb. 7.-Exclusion
of Japanese immigrants and re-
duction in the percentage of aliens
admissible from European coun-
tries would be provided for by
sections Of a proposed permanent
immigration restriction act ap-
proved by the house immigration
committee. Completion of the en-
tire measure within a day or two
and prompt report to the house
is the committees plan.
Japanese exclusion would be
made possible, it was explained,
under general provision Of the
bill, which sets forth that "an i'm
migrant not eligible to citizenship
shall not be admitted to the Unit
ed States" To meet treaty stipu-
lations exceptions would be made
in the cases of ministers Of. the
Gospel, professors or colleges,
members Of any "learned profess
son" and "bona fide students" who
seek to enter the United States
solely for the purpose of study at
an educational institution parti-
cularly designated by them. Such
students who married after enter
ing the country would be deport-
ed, however.
As affecting Europe and the
near east the bill would reduce
the quotas of immigrants from
any one country in any one year
to four hundred and in addition
two persons of the number of for
eign born individuals of such ma
tionality resident in the United
States as determined by the 1890
census. The present restriction
act, which this bill would replace
and which expires by limitation
ON June 80, 1924, places the quotas
at three percent, based on the
census of 1910.
The number of immigrants who
would be admissible in any one
year under this provision is esti-
mated at 1S6,437 as against the
358,837 annually under the present
act, but actually the 1868 total
probably would be greatly exceed
ed through the operation of gen
eral provisions designed to avoid
division of families. =',t

Passengers Strike Motor.
Driven Boat

San Francisco, Feb. -Four hours
after the passenger liner Wilhelmina
collided with the wooden motor ship
Sierra at sea, about 20 miles from
San Francisco, at 1850 O'Clock this
morning, the crew of the Sierra had
taken to life-boats while the Will
helmina was not in trouble and had
suffered little damage.
The coast guard cutter Shawnee
was expected to reach the vessel first
and another vessel from San Fran
cisco was making top speed toward
the scene. Shipping men thought the
crew of the Sierra would be saved.
The Wilhelmiha, inbound from
Honolulu, was. thought to carry 2Oo
or more passengers though an accur-
ate check of the list could not be
made this morning.

INSURANCE BY
STATE TO BE
URGED IN MINI.
Bill Will Be Presented To
General Assembly There
In Few Days

St. Paul, Feb. IA bill making
appropriations for state insurance
Of it's own property and making the
provisions of such insurance manda-
tory will be presented to the house
of the legislature soon. George
Wells, state insurance commissions
er, is drafting the bill.
The state mas approximately $4O.-
100000 worth Of property on which
the insurance premium if insured
by private companies, would be
about 100000 annually. It is esti-
mated that if the state conducted
it's own insurance business it could
save 40 percent of the premium.
The bill will call for an appro-
priation of $4,000 a year for i'm
surance.
A measure to make the primary
election seven weeks in advance of
the general election was advanced
to the calendar.
The house passed bill providing
for appointment of at least one wo-
man to the industrial commission,
by vote of GO to so.
Representatives Samec, Mauritz
Bernard and Bowers are authors Of
a bill to abolish the present prac-
tice Of charging fee for obtaining

most feasible under present condi-

for new buildings at the present
location at the present time be
made by the legislature, were the
chief points in the report of the
special joint Investigating commit
tee of the house and senate which
was named early in the session to
make an inquiry as to the future
conduct of the Mandan institution.
The report was filed in both the
house and the senate this afternoon
by the members of the committee.
1t was anticipated, however, in the
senate by the introduction Tuesday
Of a measure by Senator w. H.
Porter of Cavalier county which
in effect authorizes the state board
of administration at it's option and
such time as it deems proper to
remove the girls and the Juvenile
dependents to the buildings now
used by the State School of For
estry at Bottineau, there to create
a new institution for the care of
delinquent girls and practically
an orphanage for the dependent
Juveniles. The Porter measure
would require all of the costs in
cident to the moving be paid from
the maintenance fund of the State
Training school. The measure
further calls for the abandonment
of the school of forestry.

counties have placed. over $5,00O,000
at the disposal of the state highway
department to secure state and fed

"It is now pointed out that certain
legislation before the legislature will
not only relieve the counties of the
necessity of financing federal pro

county money invested but also will
enable the state to meet federal aid

Mitchell, S. D., Feb. IA fund of
$4,000 to insure the publication of
the South Dakota Leader, the Off
cial paper of the Nonpartisan league,
was started by the first of series
of Nonpartisan league meetings
when 80 members of the farmers

More than $500 was pledged by
members, and according to Tom Ay-
ers, manager of the league in South
Dakota, it is expected much more
will be obtained in Dawson county.
The $4,000 to be raised this. year
and an equal amount next year will
insure the steady publication of the
leagues organ until the time for the
next state political campaign. The
paper has not been issued since
last November.
In addition to the decision to re-
sumo publication of the Leader,
plans for the reorganization Of the
league in the state were mapped and
