EMPLOYMENT
OUTLOOK FAIR
FOR THIS YEAR
u. S. Labor Office Makes Re-
port in North Dakota For
Ensuing Year

The outlook for labor demand in
North Dakota in 1924 is considered
"fair" by the United States Employ
ment Service, in Il booklet compris
ing special survey of Al states,
showing present employment condi-
tions and the general, Industrial and
agricultural prospects for 1924. Re-
garding North Dakota the survey
says:
There is some unemployment ap-
parent in this state at the present
time which. however, is due largely
to the seasonal curtailment Of many
activities The outloog for 1924 is
considered fair. though the present
indications are that the demand for
skilled help win not be as great as
during the past year. The building
program of the past year has been
practically completed, and it is
thought there will be less activity in
this line during the new year. The
mining of ignite coal is increasing.
with its subsequent 'affect on ems
ployment. The farmers of the state
did not have a particularly encour-
aging year. Labor was scarce and
cost of production great, and the out
look among the agriculturists is not
bright unless conditions change ma
terially."

GETS CLUE TO
MISSING MEN
Escaped COnvicts May Have
Left Min0t on Freight
Train

Acting on clue that Arthur
Smith and William R. Burgman. who
escaped from the state penitentiary
here January 6, had left Minot Sun
day on the Great Northern Twin
Cities freight" Warden J. J. Lee of
the prison sent out requests to off,
GERS along the great Northern and
to Twin Cities police to be on the
lookout for the escaped convicts Ac-
cording to information received by
the warden, the two men left Minot
Sunday.
The clue, based on "tip" which
the warden hoped was authentic, was
that the two convicts after escaping
made their way west, north across
country and caught the Great North
ern into Minot from little sta
tion west Of there. They are said
to have remained in Minot from Sat
urday night until sometime Sunday.

MAY REQUEST
LAW CHANGE
Insurance Commissioner Con
siders Recommendation

Heavy losses sustained by the
state insurance fund from school
house fires may result in recon-
mendations by Commissioner of In
surancO S. A. Olsness for change
in the law governing this department.
According to Mr.. Olsness, there APP
pears ,desirability of changing the
law to provide for greater reinsur~
ance of the poorer risks carried by
the department.
Under the present law the insur-
arce department reinsures single
risks in excess Of 100000. These
risks are chiefly larger public build
ings on which the loss has not been
great. The heaviest losses have been
sustained in school house fires where
losses range from $4,000 to $4,000.
Many of them are frame buildings.
Mr.. Olsness may recommend, he
said, that the law be changed so that
risks similar to school house risks
can be reinsured in private compa-
nies and the state assume a greater
part of the so-called good risks.

State Committee"
A set of delegates to the Republi

into the March IS primary will be
chosen at the convention.
The basis of apportionment for
delegates to the convention to he

at Fargo this 18th day of January,
1924, do hereby reaffirm our belief in
the necessity and efficiency of party

the republican party. We deny the
loyalty of any citizen to the princi-

party and desire to express our great
sense of appreciation Of his services

101 CARS OF
CORN SHIPPED
ON 500 LINES
First Shipments to Eastern
Markets Are Carried This
Fall and Winter
SEE LIVESTOCK CHANGE
Corn Crop Results in Holding
Cattle and Marketing in
Better Condition

One hundred and one car loads
of corn were shipped on the Miss
ouri River division of the 500 lines
during the fall and winter months
prior to January /, according to re-
cords compiled in the office of S. w.
Derrick, superintendent of the divi-
sion.
The year 1923 is the first year in
which corn ever was shipped to
eastern markets in carload lots from
this division, Mr.. Derrick said today.
The shipment of shelled corn to
the Twin City, Duluth and Chicago
markets is one evidence Of the tre-
mendous increase Of corn raising in
western North Dakota, but the ef
feet of the shift in farm industry
in the state is evidenced also in live
stock shipments on the division.
All carload lots of corn shipped to
the markets on the Missouri River
division of the 500 was shelled corn.
Each car is estimated to have con-
tanned / 400 bushels. and total ship
ments prior to January 1 amounted
to more than 100000 bushels.
Four From Bismarck
Carload shipments were made from
points on the division as follows:
Bismarck 4; Brittin /; Braddock !;
kintyre 3; Herried, S. d. 4; Meri-
court 1; Fulleton %; Clement 3;
Norway 5; Oakes 8; Hample 6; N;ch-
olson 5; Cogswll "; Foreman 6;
Ransom 8; Geneso 2; Lidgerwood 5.
More corn will be shipped during
the winter.
Three carloads Of millet was ship
ped from Fullerton and one from
Mericourt, also new thing on the
division.
Change also is noted in livestock
shipments
Livestock shipments in November
and December fen off from a yelr
ago but have Increased in January
over year ago and will increase il
February and March," said Mr.. Der
rick. This is due to the fact that
farmers have an abundant amount 3f
feed, the fall was good and they
held their cattle over and are corn
feeding them, so that they may be
sent to the market in prime condi-
tion as to weight, thereby getting
good results from the corn crop"
Change Said General
This condition is said to exist over
all of western North Dakota. Live
stock shipments generally will be
larger during the next two months,
since many farmers have quit serd-
ing in feeder" stock and are fat
tening their own cattle rather than
permitting Iowa farmers to buy them
from South st. Paul and fatten them.
Grain held in storage on the Miss
ouri River division of the 500 is
proportionately greater than it was
Il year ago, according to reports to
Mr.. Derrick, although the, total crop
was considerably smaller 1t was es-
timated that on January 1 there was
100000 bushels Of grain still in
the hands of farmers in the terri
tory and there was 1,634,OOO bushels
of gram in elevators. This is COM
pard to 4 100000 bushels in elevators
a year ago and 100000 bushels in
the hands Of farmers.

POLAR FLIGHT
BYSHENAND0AH
HELD CERTAIN
Success of Giant Airship in
Battling Storm Wins Over
All Skeptics
OFFICER SEES SUCCESS
Believes That Airship Will BE
Able to Make Polar Flight
Successfully

Lakehurst, N. j., Jan. 18.-(By the
a. PD-Even the skeptics have been
converted.
The Shenandoah's remarkable sue
cessful flight against one OF the
most severe gales that ever struck
the Atlantic Coast despite the fact
that her nose was torn away and She
was otherwise battered, has won for
her the commentator of those naval
officers who were Inclined to doubt
the practicability of ships of her
type and size.
That battle of Wednesday night
and early Thursday morning in a
72-milc wind has convinced virtually
every officer at the naval air station
that the Shenandoah could succ1 SIS
fully negotiate the planned trip to
the North Pole.
Won't Halt Cruise
There was evident qualification
when it was learned that Secretary
of the Navy DENLY and Rear Admiral
William A. Moffett, chief of the
naval bureau of ,aeronautics, had pre-
dicted that the accident to the Shen-
andoah would not prevent the pro-
posed cruise.
Lieut.. Commander M. r. Pierce
who was in command of the Shenan-
doah on her wild flight, said he did
not believe any such gale as Wedncs-
day nights would be encountered on
a flight to the Arctic.
He pointed out that in flying to
the Pole there would be chosen a
season normally free from storms
Most officers at the station expressed
the opinion unofficially that the
ship could easily stand any wind that
might strike her while she was in the
north.
Nearly Hit Ground
Capt. Anton Henen, German Zcpj
pelin expert, whose advice to these
on board during the Shenandoah S
runaway cruise largely was rcspon-
sible for bringing her safe to port,
already had expressed the opinion
that the ship could weather any
storm.
A fact that had not generally been
known until last night was the topic
of considerable gossip. This was the
assertion that the Shenandoah when
that one great gust of wind tore her
from the mast started to the ground
and only was about six feet from the
earth when she started to rise again
and float away.
Three officers, Capt. Heinen, Lieut..
Commander Pierce and Lieut.. Z. H.
Kincaid leaped for the levels that
released the ballast, dumped out
5000 pounds Of water and thus avert
ed an ignoble end for the pride Of
the navy. Had their instincts fail
ed them the giant craft probably
would have crashed to the ground, q
huddled heap of wreckage.
