BETTER ROADS
ARE THE ClTY'S
BIGGEST NEED
Business Men Who Toured
This Section Heard Road
Conditions DeplOred

Bismarck business men who toured
this section Of the state the first OF
the week in carefully planned trips
to become better acquainted with
the business men of the surrounding
villages and incidentally to boost for
the state corn show which will be
held here next month, met at lunch
con at the Grand Pacific yeste rday
noon and each gave brief resume
of the trip, telling of the hearty re-
cept;on extended in every instance
and of the friendly feeling towards
Bismarck that exists in the sur
rounding towns.
The chief criticism received all
along the line, the speakers said,
was centered on the poor condition
Of the roads leading into the Cap
ital City. The roads in Burleigh
county were denounced as the poor
est in this section and merchants OF
other villages said this condition
kent trade away from the city.
Every one called upon was en-
thusiastic over the state corn show,
it was revealed at the luncheon. and
large delegations will attend from
practically every community.

NEAR
TUTTLE SHOWS
SIGNS OF OIL
Drilling Operations in kidder
County Are Expected TO
BE Started Soon

A spring two miles southeast of
Tuttle and 10 miles west of Robin nson
is beginning to show signs of oil in
its waters, according to the statement
of Bismarck man who returned to-
day from a trip through kidder
county, which recalls the fact that
during an exceptionally dry season
80 years ago the water from this
spring overflowed into dry lake bed
nearby, and this later caught fire
and burned for some time.
A. c. Townley, former NOnpartisan
league organizer, who has established
camp near Robinson and, it is said
is endeavoring to interest his friends
|, in the prospects of locating oil there
to such an extent that they will loan
him money on his personal note, Is
carrying on his activities with re-
newed vigor and plans to put down a
drill very soon. A drill was expected
to arrive there this week and, reports
state, will be put down as soon as
the derricks and necessary equip
ment can be erected.
In addition to the Townlev activi-
ties and those of the Robinson
Development company. which has
leased the town we'll where gasoline
is said to be taken out regularly
another company known as the Gary
Bros. is reported to have secured
land options in that vicinity and is
planning to start drilling operations.
May Drill at Wing
Another report states that an oil
development outfit from Rider is
making plans to drill at Wing, 25
Miles from Robinson, where it is said
that the we'll water has assumed a
peculiar taste and appearance and
that some of the water, when poured
into the street and match applied,
will burn.
Capitol employees were informed
yesterday by man who claimed to
be Montana geologist and said he
had been making a personal investi-
cation of the gasoline we'll" at Rob-
inson, that it had been determined the
presence of oil in the well was caused
by leak in the underground tanks Of
a gasoline filling station nearby and
that the oil which leaked out of tanks
was seeping into the we'll. People
who have been at Robinson claim that
this is not probable, however, mas
much as the tanks in the vicinity
have been tested and no leaks were
found and also that over 5000 gallons
of gasoline have already been taken
from the we'll and that no leakage Of
that amount could have occurred
without being noticed.

Chief Engineer Frahm Given
Authority to Make Reduc-
tiOns in Payroll
FUNDS ARE INADEQUATE
Auto Repair Shop and Sur.
plus Stores Department
ClOsed-Men Laid Off

Authority to make drastic reduc-
tions in the number Of employees Of
the state highway department has
been given to H. C. Frahm, new
chief engineer, by the state highway
commission.
Sharp retrenchment is ncc2ss sary
if the department is to live within
its appropriation for this yoar,
Frahm told the commission. The
total amount available for salaries
was SlO4 900, he said. During the
first three months of the fiscal year
$4,000 was expended, leaving only
$4,000 for the remaining nine
months of the fiscal year.
The automobile repair shop, where
five men have been employed. will
be closed the first Of November,
Frahm said. The surplus stores de-
partment, which handled war sup
plies purchased from the govern
ment, has been closed and locked
and the three employees dismissed.
Numerous additional men will be
let off within three weeks as they
no longer will be needed in the
maintenance department. Reduc-
tion of the forces in some other de-
partments also is contemplated,
Frahm said.
At the suggestion of Commission
er Herman Hardt, Napoleon. it was
agreed that wherever possible mar
red men win dependent families
would be given preference.

ROAD BID IS
$4,000 HIGH,
SAYS S0RLIE
Highway Commission COnsid.
ers Injunction Suit Begun
Against Haggart

Consideration of the attitude
which the state will take in the suit
by Patrick Sullivan, local taxpayer,
to determine the status of the con-
tract which the Haggart Construc-
tion company. Fargo, claims to have
with the state highway department
and Burleigh county for the paving
of the Red Trai east Of Bismarck,
was had by the state highway com
mission at meeting yesterday. The
case was gone over in detail with
John Thorpe, assistant attorney gem
eral, who probably will be assigned
to handle the case for the highway
commission when it comes up for
hearing at jamestown next week.
The state is opposing the Haggart
company in carrying out the con-
tract on the ground that the terms
Of the contract are excessive. Com
missioners said that the contract
was signed by W. G. Black, former
chief engineer, without their knowl-
edge and consent. Black signed the
contract a week before his resigna-
tion became effective.
In statement to the commission
Governor A. G. Sorlie estimated that
the figures on which the contract
was awarded were Eat least $4,000
too high"

jamestown Men
Are Investigating
Oil Possibilities

jamestown, Sun, Oct. 24.-Several
jamestown men have associated them
selves with some Of the business
men of Robinson, n. D., and form
ed corporation known as the Ro-
binson Development Co., for the
purpose Of acquiring oil and gas
leases and making further investi-
cation of the possibilities of de-
veloping an oil field in this state.
A lease has been acquired up
on the property where OF was
found in the water we'll at Robin
son, and number of other leases
have already been obtained in Kid
der and Stutsman counties.
In an interview with d. r.
Brockman of this city, vice presi-
dent of the company, it was learn
cd that prior to the organization
of the company, c. J. Stone. a geo
logist of Butte, Mont, was employ
ed to examine the Robinson we'll,
and make a preliminary examination
Of the surrounding country. both in
kidder and Stutsman counties. Mr..
Stone is the same geologist who
spotted the producing well for the
Dcvereaux Oil Co., in which a num-
ber of local men are interested.
His report was sufficiently en-
eouraging to warrant further in
vestigation, providing the company
can obtain sufficient number Of
leases to warrant it in going ahead,
and the company was organized for
that purpose.
The officers of the company are:
+. Nelstal, presidents; ID. r. Brock
man. vice president; l.. Bennett,
treasurer and +. G.. Cameron, secre-
tary.
Mr.. Brockman states that this
company is not connected with any
other organizations; that the or
ganizers of the company up to the
present time are simply making an
investigation of the proposition, and
that none of the capital stock of
the company is being offered for
sale.
Carl r. Kositzky, state land COM
missioner, stated today that, ac-
cording to reliable information, a
government survey of the state
made Is or so years ago revealed
the presence of a strata of coal in
Kidder county. Biologists point
out that quite often deposits Of
coal and oil are found in the same
vicinity and this, also, is leading
some to the belief that oil may ac-
tually be located in the vicinity of
Robinson and Tuttle.

shrewdly chosen contrasting color.
Worth, more than any other couturier,
has stressed this new fashion in his show
ings. No other has displayed such a va
ried and richly-executed series of paja-
mas. The model from him, which is sent
this week, is a typical example Of his de-
signs since it features the new knee-length
trousers to which he is very partial. These
trousers may be worn with either one or
two-piece costumes. The model Of which
a photograph is enclosed in this letter,
is striking combination Of deep purple
satin in the trousers and Chinese yell
low, trimmed with bands of black satin,
in the graceful overtime.

Some of the more conservative among
the fashionable Psrisiennes have objected
that the pajama is not feminine enough
for dainty boudoir. But surely nothing
could be more feminine than the lovely
combination of shell-pink panne in smart
little Russian trousers, tightly cuffed TO
the knee. and worn with the effective lit
tie tunic in the same tone of pink chiffon.
The chiffon coat has particularly grace
full sleeve and is given line by the heavy
chiffon chrysanthemum border. This de-
lightful costume was designed by Molly

Perhaps the most striking costume in
the new fashion is also offered by Molly
neaux. II is a combination Of orange and
gold lame trousers and black psnne. The
coatee, lined in the same lame, is black,

gold lace, re-embroidered in gold and

FORD BIDS FOR
200 SHIPS OF
idle BOARD FLEET

Detroit. July 1.-(AP)-Henry
Ford tonight told The Associated
Press that he had entered bid for
the 200 ships of the shipping board
fleet and that the bid is in the mails.
There was no misunderstanding
of dates on my part" Mr.. Ford
said, in denying that such was the
cause for the failure of the board
to receive bid from him when they
we're opened two days ago.
1.-THE bid was placed in the mails
several days ago."
Mr. Ford did not divulge the size of
his bid nor his specifications and at
tempts to obtain the information from
members Of his engineering and tech
meal staff met with failure.
Only one firm submitted bid to the
shipping board for the entire fleet of
200 ships. the Boston Iron & Metal
Co bidding $1,370,000. Several other
firms bid for portions of the fleet.
The bids will be analysed by the d.
rectors of the shipping board before
contracts are let.
