n. D. IS SOUND,
SAYS PORTER
Bankers Head Optimistic
Over 1924 Outlook

Minot, Jan. 4.-That North ~Da-
kota is fundamentally sound is a
truth which will bear repeating as
1924 assumes jurisdiction, and with
everyone radiating a spirit of optim-
ism during the coming IL months
the element of chance in business
will be reduced to the minimum and
all will prosper to a greater or less
degree, NJ. r. Porter Of Minot, vice
president Of the Scandinavian Amer
lean bank of this city and president
of the North Dakota Bankers associa-
tion, told the Minot Rotary club
members at their weekly luncheon
at the Fern room of the Grand hotel.
While it is quite out Of the ques-
tion, the speaker, said, to forecast
with any degree of certainty that
which may take place at any particu-
lar future time, there are certain
fundamental rules which have always
prevailed in the business Of this ma
tion, namely, that "history repeats
itself" and that prosperity always
follows defation.
Whlle 1T Is true, Mr. POrCer Sald,
that the farmers Of North Dakota
have been encountering difficulties
since 1920 when the deflation period
set in, large majority of them are
perfectly solvent and will pay their
debts, if given time.
"As a matter of FACT" the bankers
association president declared, II be-
lieve they are nearer.a condition of
real prosperity than ever before.

ELECTION TO
BE CALLED ON
COURT MATTER
Increased Jurisdiction For
County Court Is Proposed
In The County
ACTION is TAKEN
Urged by Judge Coffey to
Relieve District Court
Here

The board of county commissioners
has instructed County Attorney Allen
to prepare petitions to be circulated
in the county asking for an election
on the question Of giving increased
jurisdiction to the county court, pre-
sided over by Judge I. c. Davies.
The commissioners endorsed the
proposition recently advanced by
Judge James A. Coffey of jamestown
who said the granting of increased
jurisdiction would not only relieve
the district court here Of some of
its business which is growing SO fast
that another district Judge would
soon be necessary but would also
decrease the expense Of court busi-
ness of the county.
The law provides that 20 percent
of the qualified electors must petit
tion the commissioners for an cleo
tion, and it may be special or at a
general election. The petitions will
be circulated in all parts of the coun-
ty. 1t is the plan of the commission
ers to put the question on the bal
lot at the March IS primary.
The commissioners, at their meet
ing. voted to list the apartment
building of F. w. Murphy as business
property instead Of residence proper

0R0PERATION
Mabel Normand, Central Fig
ure in Shooting, Said
Recovering Today
POLICE ARE BUSY

Los Angeles, Jan. 4,-How and why
! and when a 25-calibre pistol beleAg-
ing to Mabel Normand, motion pic
ture actress, found its way into the
hands of the chauffeur who used il
to shoot and seriously wound Court
land S. Dimes of Denver here New
Years night continued to occupy the
attention of police detectives today.
Miss Normand, in whose presence
the shooting occurred, was recover
ing in the Good Samaritan hospital
from an operation for chronic ap-
pendicitis performed yesterday while
Dimes is recovering in the same hos
pital from a mild attack of pneu.
monia caused by the bullet wound in
his lung. Both patients were "rest-
ing very comfortably" it was an
nounced.
Interest in the small bore pisto.
with which Dimes was shot was re-
vived yesterday when Miss Nor
mand's chauffeur, Green, said Mrs.
Edith Burns, the companion of the
actress knew that he carried pis-
wa "NCh hS "CHI W oPdI
and warned him to be careful.
Both Mrs. Burns and Miss Normand
insisted Wednesday that they had
no idea how Greer could have OBJ
tanned the pistol.
"Why, mentioned the pistol to
Mrs. Burns at least three weeks be-
fore New Years." Greer asserted.
"She told me she was afraid Miss
Normand might use it apd I asked
her to get it for me and / would
put it away where l could get it if
they needed it in the house"
When Mrs. Burns, after ,telephon-.
ing Dimes apartment shortly before
the shooting. turned to Greer and
said, "See, he won't let her come
home," the chauffeur thought this
was the time when "they needed"
the pistol and thereupon went into
Miss Normand's bedroom and took
it, he told the police. When Mrs.
Burns was questioned again last
night she at first denied positively
having made such remark but lat
er admitted she might have said
something to that effect.

CORN REACHES
HIGHEST PRICE,
BOOSTS WHEAT

Chicago, Jan. ALI the future
deliveries of corn rose today to
new high price records for the
reason and brought about a ma
terial 'upturn in the value of
wheat. The close in the wheat
market was firm, &c to 1Mc net
higher, May $l.O8M to "a to
s1.0S 3-4 and July $1.06 .7-S.
Later there was decided rally
due chiefly to active demand
from shorts who were disturbed
by the upward swing of the corn
market and by the fact that
wheat receipts in all directions
were small.
Subsequently trading on
broad scale developed in corn and
prices rapidly advanced. Coun-
try offerings became somewhat
larger than after the bulge but
in the aggregate were far less
than is usual at this time of the
year. The close was strong on
corn, 15sc to &c to 21sc net high
er, May corn 76Ac to 1850.

WRECKAGE OF
DIRIGIBLE
DISCOVERED
Theory That Dixmude Burned
Is Borne Out by Finding
of jWreckage g

Paris, jan 4.-(By the A. P. j.
Fire blackened wreckage from the
French dirigible Dixmude has been
discovered off the coast Of Sicily, the
minister of marine has been advised,
thus bearing out the theory that the
great airship fell into the sea after
taking fire or as the result Of an ex.
plosion.
One of the gasoline tanks was
picked up near Cape San Marco, only
a few miles from the spot where the
body of the Dikpude's commander.
Lieut. Grenadan Was brought to the
surface by fishermen. The upper
part of the tank was blackened by
fire.
Several pieces of the rubberized
cloth used in the balloon envelope
also were found, leaving practically
no doubt but that the Dixmude fell
in that vicinity with all on board.
