number of the members of the
Glenwood volunteer fire department
met Sunday and took a plunge in the
swimming pool. The boys had great
time in and out of the pool and a
number of excellent pictures were taken
in the water and on the large fire
truck. The pictures will be sent to
the American La France and the Fire
and Water engineers and will probably
be published by one or both of these
magazines.

PROCLAMATION

America has set apart one day in each year on
which all citizens may pay tribute to the memory
of the various sons OF the nation who have served
her in time of grave national danger and have
passed on to their reward
Originally designated by the Union veterans of
the Civil War as a particular decoration day for
their fallen comrades May 30 gradually has become
day apart in memory of all Americans who served
in the armies and navies OF many wars and have
passed to their reward. Memorial Day has tran
scended sectionalism, and in many places in the 4,
South since the World War has brought closer
bond between people of all the states, the former
separate decoration day for soldiers of the Confed-
eracy in the Civil War has been foregone and instead
American Legion posts join in May 80 on tribute
to the dead of all wars of the nation.
The observance of Memorial Day is comparable
only in universal observance to Christmas. The
1nter-Alied Veterans federation has adopted May
80 the day for paying tribute to all allied soldiers
who fell in the World War.
Whereas, the citizens of Bismarck, mindful of
their great debt to those who have in the Civil war,
Spansh-American and World Wars, and in other
conflicts, should join in appropriate exercises in
their memory
Now, therefore, l, A. p Lenhart, president of
the city commission of Bismarck, do hereby urge
that May 30 be observed as Memorial Day. that all
citizens pay solemn tribute to the soldier dead of
the nation and renew their allegiance to the flag,
and further that all places of business in Bismarck
be closed from l p. m! to 5'p m. Memorial Day to
permit everyone to join in the days observance.
A. P LENHART,
g. M bsts President City Commission.

BOND DORDER IS
DISSOLVED; NO
SALE EXISTED
Judge JansOnius Holds Com.
missiOners Still Free to
Sell to Highest Bidder
GOOD FAITH ASSUMED
Court Won't Interfere as Long
as Actions Not Fraudulent or
Irreparable Damage Caused

Holding that no contract has been
entered into by the board Of county
commissioners for the sale Of re
funding bonds of Burleigh county,
and that the commissioners can go
ahead and make the best deal pos
sible for the sale of bonds, Judge
Fred Jansonius of district court to-
day dissolved the restra lining order
granted to taxpayers.
Attorneys for both sides had taken
the position that u contract had not
been made, although resolution had
been adopted by majority of the
board to sell from $4,000 to $780,
900 of refunding bonds to KaIman,
Wood & Co. at par and 6 Ia per cent
interest.
The opinion says it is conceded by
both parties that the board of county
commissioners has authority under
the laws of the state to issue refund
ing bonds and negotiate a sale, with
out advertising for bids, and that Il
wide discretion is vested in the board,
but that the board in all transactions
must act in good faith"
The plaintiff contended the action
Of the board was taken fraudulently
and secretly. The defendants denied
this.
Taxpayers Satisfied
f. B. Cox. who appeared for the
taxpayers in this proceeding, upon
examining the decision of Judge Jan
sonius, stated: "The decision Of the
District Court bears out the con-
tention of the taxpayers that no conz
tract has yet been entered into for
the sale of the bonds. This holding
should now relieve the majority of
the Board from any hestancy they
might otherwise have felt, had this
action not been brought, in disre-
garding their former negotiations
with Kalman, Wood & Company, and
will permit them to extend an in
vitaton to bond buyers in general
to bid on the Burleigh County bonds.
If this is done, undoubtedly the
bonds will be sold at premium
and that was the result hoped for by
the taxpayers in tnstituting this ac-
ton.
Courts Position.
"As a rule courts of equity do not
interfere by injunction for the pur-
pose of controlling the action of pub
lie officers on matters pertaining to
their jurisdiction, or with the exer-
else of their discretion, unless q
strong case of fraud or irreparable
injury is shown" the opinion reads.
"And when such officers exercise their
discretion and make their decision in
good faith, without any intention of
oppression or injury to private per-
sons, an injunction against their ac-
tion will not be allowed,
"The states attorney, counsel for
the commissions, in his oral argu-
ment, and also the attorney for the
plaintiffs admitted that no binding
contract had been entered into, and
that the commissioners are still free
to exercise their discretion in this
matter. The only allegations Of the
complaint, if found by the court to
be true, upon which restraining or
der can be issued are fraud or ire
parable damages.

sheriff from California and embark
ed at Puerto Cortez for New Orleans
where the steamer is expected to
arrive Monday.
The petition for the release of

Mrs. Phillips, who was being held
for extradition to Los Angeles where
she is under sentence for murder and
her sister, Mrs. Eta Mae Jackson,
were illegally detained because legal
procedure had not been followed in
accordance with the treaty by Frank
lin Morales, the American minister,
into custody. The court coincided
with the view of Senor Zelaya and
ordered the release of Mrs. Phillips.

IN
NORTHWEST IS
ON INCREASE
Report of Federal Reserve
Bank of Minneapolis for
Month Is Favorable
ALL TRADE is BETTER
Lumber Sales Increase, and
General Merchandise
Business Is Better

Business throughout the Northwest
is on. higher level than Il year ago,
according to the monthly report of
John ii. Rich. federal reserve agent,
Minneapolis. The district summary
for the month says:
"The volume of trade and current
manufacturing production in this dis
trict continues at levels higher than
year ago, and if price increases be
included, thef improvement amounts
to about II per cent. On the other
hand, those statistical indexes of bus
mess which show improvement in
April over March recorded less ad
vance than the normal seasonal i'm
creases Of former years, except in re-
tail trade, which always lags after
other trade indexes. There were
some substantial declines recorded in
April. This was due partly to the
backwardness of the season with it's
late cold rains retarding blowing and
seeding, and party to the hesitation
Of buyers awaiting the outcome Of
the next crop.
"The median prices of grains and
all livestock, except calves and lambs,
rose during the month in spite of the
fact that all receipts, except corn, at
terminal markets were above normal
or above last year.
Banks in the larger cities report
decline in deposits and the stimuli
taneous liquidation of some Of their
investment holdings. Interest rates
were firm or rising for the great ma
jority of varieties of paper quoted in
the local m oney market"
With regard to building the report
says that fair seasonal increase
between March and April in both ur-
ban and rural communities was
shown. In l8 cities Of the North
west district, the number of build
ing permits doubled. Sales of lum-
ber retailers in the rural sections of
the district increased 40 per cent be-
tween March and April reports.
Flour productions decreased % per
cent in April, over March, as COM
pared to decline of IA per cent
from March to April last year.
Retail sales of general merchan-
disc increased 9 per cent between
March and April of this year, which
was nearly per cent larger than in
April year ago,
Stocks Of grains in Northwestern
terminal elevators were slightly
larger at the end Of April than at the
end of March, which is an abnormal
occurrence, because stocks generally
reach this peach in March, the report
says. The increase in stocks, it adds,
was due entirely to a large volume of
wheat and rye, and stocks of the
other grains declined from one-tenth
to one-fourth, with the. exception of
fax, in which stocks were reduced
more than one-half.
