CONCRETE ROAD
IS FINISHED
Entire Bismarck Mandan
Stretch to be Available
Nov. )

A six-mile concrete road, the long
est yet constructed in North Dakota
will be completely opened between
Bismarck and Mandan on November
5. according to E. R. Griffin, county
surveyor of Morton county. The
stretch of pavement includes the
Missouri River vehicular bridge COM
pleted in 1921. Including all city
paving on the same stretch Of road
way in Bismarck and Mandan the
paving will extend almost seven
miles.
The last concrete on the last
stretch of "a miles Of paving was
laid Tuesday, Mr.. Griffin said 1t
will be opened to travel November ).
Another stretc> of this newly laid
paving west of the Missouri River
bridge will be opened Sunday, which
will take the paving beyond the
woods between the river and Man
dan.
The "a miles of paving, done by
the Northern Construction Company
of Grand Forks, was let at the low
est price of any paving contract in
the Northwest this year, according
to w. G. Black, state highway en-
gineer. The contract was 1924 per
square yard, including scarifying,
placing the sub-grade in condition
and other work.

DAIRYING
TO GO ON
Fine Crops Won't Deter Pro-
gress, Stanley Man Says

Fine grain crops IN North Dakota
this year will not deter the develop
ment of dairying, in the opinion of
w. f. Reynolds, state dairy commits
sioner. His opinion is backed by
many letters and personal contact
with farmers. D. H. Gray of STAN
ley, who manages cooperative ship
ping association there, in making a
report to Mr.. Reynolds wrote as fol-
lows:
Enclosed you will find my report
for September, 1924. Everything is
going good. I don't believe the good
crop will have any effect on dairying
at all, as they all seem to realize that
the cows are much the surest way
of farming. We will have larger
year than 1928 unless we fall entire
ly from now until the first of the
year, as we are just about where we
were for the entire year of 1928,
right now"
Mr.. Reynolds has returned from
Ypsilanti, where he conferred with
farmers planning to organize a CO.
operative cream shipping association.

Subsequent attempts to equal or
surpass the cruise Of the R-34 ended
in tragedy. The R-36, sold by Great
Britain to the United States, was
consumed by flames and explosion
followed by disastrous toll of life.
on a trial flight, under British
American command over Hull, Eng
land.
A like fate attended the maiden
flight of the Roma, acquired by the
United States from Italy, set up
over her and turned loose upon the
air at Aberdeen, Maryland. Explo-
sion destroyed the craft and a
heavy loss Of life marked the second
attempt of this country to break
into big league aeronautics.
In the third major dirigible dis
aster since the R-34, France and
Frenchmen, were victims. Their
proud Dixmude set out one day last
year to penetrate into Africa and
perished at sea. 1t is believed
lightning ignited her hydrogen.
The use of non-explosive helium
as substitute for the treacherous
hydrogen promises to make dirig-
ible transit of the future safer than
airplane travel is today. Officers
on this field who have seen the
Shenandoah perform under helium
witnessed her survival of terrific
storm and those who now watch her
leisurely PROCESS on the western
rim Of the United States, declare
that all the terrors have been re-
moved from lighter than air aero
nautics.
They point to the recent exper-
ience of the TC-2 at Langley Field.
A bomb exploded as she was high
in the air. Had her glistening skin
held hydrogen bundle of charred
wreckage and a few mangled bodies
undoubtedly would have been the re-
suit.
