Great Volume of Grain Ship.
ments Through Port of
Buffalo. N. Y, Held Cause
BACKS UP TO FARMS
Eastern Railroad Represent
atives to be Brought
Into Conference

Fargo. May o3.--The great volume
OF grain shipments through the
Port of BullaIo,'N. Y. and the re-
quirement of every freight car to
handle the stream on its way to the
New York ports was assigned As
the reason why the west suffers
from car shortages at critical
times, by Donald Conn, director OF
the public relations committee of
the American Railway Association,
and others at the conference of the
Northwest Regional Advisory Board
here today.
Car shortages in the Nor,hwe 5,
are really made in the east, Mr..
Conn said and his statements
backed up by those of c. T. Van
denover of Minneapolis and others
was the means of action being tax
en- at the meeting to obtain the pre-
sence of representatives of eastern
railways at the next session of the
board which will be held in Sioux
Falls. s.. ID. July II.
1t is hoped that once the eastern
nail heads are fully advised at first
hand of the needs of the west IN
transportation matters that some
means will be taken to relieve car
shortage situations in the North
west which at times become acute.
Canadian grain flowing through
the Port of Buffalo is contribut-
ing cause of car shortage, accord
ing to Mr.. Nandcnover who declar-
ed that this congestion blacks up 20
the farms of North Dakota and 9th
or Northwestern states. He said
Canadian wheat shippers at times
got 50 percent of the use of the Port
of Buffalo and American shippers
got but 35 percent use. Mr.. VAN
denover wanted the meeting to 20
on record with Il resolution calling
on the United States government TO
place an embargo on Canadian
wheat when the same becomes a
menace in clogging American ports
of trade but no formal action was
taken on the advice of Mr.. Conn,
who stated there would be grave in
ternational complications involved
and that relief could be gotten
through conference with Canadian
wheat shippers.

SLOPE COUNTY
WINS $4,000
COURT ACTION
Will Recover frolp State Bond
ing Fund Because of Treas
urer'S Actions
JUDGMENT MODIFIED
$25,OOO Verdict Is Raised to
$4,000 by the Supreme
Court Here

Slope county will recover $4,000
from the State Bonding Fund be-
cause of money irregularly deposited
in banks now closed by J. 5. Dou-
glass, former county treasurer, un-
der IL decision of the supreme court
today, in affirming and modifying the
Judgment given the county by Dis
trlct Judge Thomas II. Pugh.
In district court Slope county was
awarded judgment of $24,675.5l.
which the high court increased to
$4,000. The frst-namcd sum en-
braced money deposited and lost af
ter the passage by the 1921 legisla
ture of public depository act. The
total sum embraced liability on funds
in the banks at the time of taking
effect of the law, and concerning
which the provisions of the deposi-
tory law were not met.
The court, in an opinion written by
Justice BirdZell, held that "where al
the time of the\taking of effect of
the depository law on March 8, 1921 :,
public funds were on demand deposit
IN banks which did not meet the re-
guirements of the law, and where the
deposit was allowed to remain in the
complying banks until they fail
ed three months afterward, the
treasurer and his bondsmen are liable
for the loss sustained.
Douglas retired as county treas
urer of Slope county in May, 1921.
He was bonded by the State Bonding
Fund for $4,000. In January, 1919,
the commissioners designated the
First State bank and the Slope Coun-
ty bank of Amidon as repositories.
The Bank of North Dakota act re-
quired deposit of public funds in
that bank, but was modified by the
initiated law effective December =,
1920, excluding funds of political
subdivisions from funds required to
be deposited ip the Bank of North
Dakota. No method of choosing de-
pusitories was provided in the init
lated act The Legislature, in an act
effective March 8, 1921, provided that
bonds must be furnished by private
banks equal to the highest amount on
deposit.
The Slope county banks in which
the county funds were deposited did
not comply with the emergency meas
ure by furnishing bonds, the court
found, and they closed about June
10. Between the date of taking eff
feet of the emergency depository act
on March 9 and the expiration Oh
Douglas term he deposited $24.-
576.5l, and in addition previous 20
March he had deposited total funds
Of about $4,000.
The court held there was clear
liability for the $24,576.5l and sus-
tanned District Judge Pugh in this
regard because the banks had not
furnished bonds. The court held there
was liability on money in the banks
at the time of taking effect of the
act, because the banks did not COM
ply with the law and furnish bonds,
and previous to March 8.
