of Gallatin county July 1S with
fraudulently obtaining the sum OF
$4,000 from the st. Paul Cattle Loan
company cf South st. Paul, Minn., in
August, 1919, furnished cash bail III
the sum Of ,$3, 900 and was at once re-
leased. He left on the afternoon
train for his home in North Dakota.
The alleged crime for which Burn
stad was brought back from North

purchase Of q quantity Of cattle at
Willow Crook for which the loan
company says it furnished the sum
of $4,000 and snly received in re-
turns $4,000, the balance being still
due from the defendant.

INVESTIGATES
CITY CARRIER
MAIL SERVICE
POstoffice Department In.
spector Looks Over the
Needs of Bismarck

Investigation of the mail carrier
service in the city of Bismarck Is
being made by an inspector OF the
pustoffice department. with view
of determining whether or not the
city shall have additional carrier
service.
Postmaster Murphy sometime
ago made request, stating that al
though the city had grown the car
rier service had not been readjust-
ed to the growth of the city for
many years. Since July new ap-
propriations have become available
for the postoffice department which
it Is expected will make possible
extension of service in many cities.
The local postoffice has received
request from the postOffice depart
ment to urge upon the public the
Importance of placing return ad-
dresses on letters in the upper
left-hand corner of the face OF the
envelope, on the same side as the
address of the person to whom the
letter is sent. Many letters have
return addresses on the back. This
not only makes unnecessary work
for postal employees but results IN
many letters being sent to the
dead letter" office and consequent
long delay in reaching the person
| for whom intended.

STATE EXAMINER DECLARED DOUBLE
OFPRESIDENT BY DENVER PEOPLE

North Dakota harbors President
Harding's double, in the person OF
Gilbert Semingson, state examiner
His friends around the capitol never
knew it. but it remained for people
of Denver to discover in him strik-
ing resemblance TO President Hard
ing, who visited the Colorado City
recently.
Mr.. Semingson, in Denver to at.
tend the convention Of the National
Association Of Supervisors Of State
Banks, was walking down Denver
street when a stranger greeted him
effusively and deferentially. Mr.
Semingson, taken aghast, inquired
the reason. and the stranger told
him he looked just like President
Harding. Others began to comment
on it.
"Denver sees in Gilbert Semingson

PEACE TREATY
is VICTORY
FOR TURKEY
British Conservatives Do Not
Take Gloomy View of
Pact
REGARDED AS GOOD

London, July 25.-The outstanding
note of comment in all today's news
papers on the signing of the Near
East Peace treaty yesterday ut Laus-
anne is admission of Turkeys diplo-
matte victory over the Allies.
The new treaty, nevertheless, Is re-
garded by some commentators, as a
good one. The Times declares the
document is q model of generosity
and justice while the Daily Tele-
graph, which takes . gloomy view,
takes the position that II the treaty
Of Cerves had bee nratified the set
tlement created thereby would very
soon have been shattered.
Friendship with Turkey is a more
or less of traditional policy Of the
British conservative party and in
that quarter there was no disposi-
tion to complain over what Turkey
had gained. Elsewhere there were
some misgivings over the future, par
ticularly as it affects Armenia and
some other Christians under the
Turkish domination.

CENTER STREET
PARKING WILL
BE CONSIDERED
Map Drawn by State Highway
Commission Engineers for
Association Committee
TO DISCUS S PLAN
More Tourists on the Red
Trial Now, According to In
formation to A. of G..

Re-arrangement of u { o m o b / l e
parking in the downtown district OF
Bismarck is to be considered by the
traffic committee of the Association
Of Commerce.
A parking plan was prepared by state
highway commission engineers at the
request Of this committee, and this
plan will be considered this week by
the traffic committee. If approved, it
will be recommended to the city COM
mission for consideration and adop-
tion.
Center parking wherever possible
in downtown streets is urged in the
engineers plan prepared. 1t follows:
= Main strect-center parking, SEC
ond to Fourth streets; no parking
between Fourth and Fifth (street
car line; center parking Fifth to
Sixth streets.
Broadway--Center parking, Second
to Sixth streets.
Thayer-Center parking, Third to
Fifth streets.
- Third street-Center parking, Main
to Thayer.
Fourth street-No parking, Main to
Thaycr (street car line).
Fifth street-Center parking, Main
to Thayer street.
The question of the advantage of
center parking over curb parking has
been discussed in many cities, and
many North Dakota cities are using
center parking. The chief problem
in Bismarck, according to engineers,
is the matter Of parking along the
route of the state street car line.
Center parking is. of course, impos-
sible. Curb parking, as at present,
leads to congestion and accident dan
! ger. it is declared. No parking
would prevent automobile parking in
district where many park in order
to transact business.
The Association Of Commerce, Sec-
retary A. F. Bradley said today, will
cooperate in the organization of the
North Dakota State Automobile as
sociation, and will open branch
bureau here. The Office Is now wait
ing for emblems. and application
blanks before beginning work. U. N.
Dunham of Bismarck Is director in
the state association.
Travel on the Red Trail by tour
lists has increased in the last month.
according to Mr.. Bradley. He said
that tourists are being routed over
the Red Trail by many agencies IN
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Fargo. Ad-
fiitional compliments for Bismarck's
reconstructed tourist camp have been
received in the last week.
Request is made of local people 60
ing to state conventions to notify the
Association Of Commerce so that the
information may be turned over to
the convention committee, to take ac-
ION with relation to securing more
conventions for the city.
The time for the dinner Monday
evening at the Grand Pacific hotel at
which Gurney Lowe will explain the
Neosho plan Of cooperative merchan-
dising, has been fixed at $3.50 p. m.
