BLACK SEES
BIG YEAR IN
ROAD BUILDING
Contract Letting to Be Made
During Summer as Fast
as Surveys Are Made
ENGINEERS IN FIELD
1925-26 to Be Most Produc-
tive in History of High
way Department

The year 1926 should be banner
one in road construction in North
Dakota, according to Walter G. Black
Chief Engineer Of the State High
way Commission.
"In spite of the fact that North
Dakota for the past two years has
ranked fourth in the United States
in mileage of Federal Aid roads
completed" Mr.. Black said, "ndi.
cations point strongly to an even
greater activity during the new bien-
MUM. The total road mileage re-
quested leads to the belief that con-
tract lettings and new construction
activities will continue throughout
the summer months as rapidly as
surveys can be made and plans COM
pleted to take care of requested
work."
Supplementing Mr.. Blacks COM
ments, A. d. McKinnon, project en-
gineer of the Highway Commits sion
said:
"We have already definitely in
cluded 544.2 miles Of new earth grad
ing construction and 3ll.43 miles OF
gravel surfacing construction in the
1925 program. All of this work is in
some stage of completion. OF the
earth grading construction 2229
miles and l39.42 miles of the gravel
surfacing construction are already
under contract and most of the re.
mainder is scheduled for early let
ting. Counties have requested to-
tai Of 1915 miles of earth grading
and 267,233 miles of gravel surfac-
ing on which no surveys have been
made as yet"
One field party of the department
is already engaged in making surveys
in Mountrail county, according ia
Mr.. McKinnon, and another survey.
ing party will be added to the de-
partment's field forces to start work
in Benson county. Before the sea-
son is far advanced a third party
will be formed to work west of the
Missouri River. 1t is expected that
with the help Of this added force the
requested work will be taken care of
before the close Of the 1925 construc-
tion season.
Twenty resident engineers of the
department are now in the field en-
gagged in active construction work
Mr.. O'Neil, construction engineer of
the State Highway Department
stated. These men will work under
the supervision of one or another of
the departments five division engi-
neers but will be in immediate charge
over construction work already be-
gun.
taking into consideration the ex-
tensive bridge-building program
which will occupy the attention of
the State Highway Officials the next
two years, there is little doubt but
that 1925-1926 will be one of the
most productive periods in the his
tory Of the highway department, Mr.
Black said.

Recount of the ballots cast for
police magistrate in the city cleo
tion here on April was started in
Burleigh county district court late
this morning after day and a half
TO ca mugrtnsin fmcweryoitao nm
of arguments in which attorneys for
w. S. Casselman, contestee, sought
to have the ballots excluded as eX-
hibts in the case.
The suit for the recount was
brought by W. c. Eastman, who was
defeated for police magistrate by
w. S. Casselman by thirteen votes
w. A. Falconer, city assessor, and
NJ. H. Atkinson, city auditor, were
agreed upon by both sides to count
the ballots.
Ballot boxes Of the second pre-
cinct Of the first ward. the third
precinct of the second ward and
the first precinct of the sixth ward
were excluded as exhibits by Judge
Fred Jansonius for the present.
Despite objections made by Attor-
ney Crum for Judge Casselman, Judge
Jansonius allowed the ballots to be
introduced as evidence and ordered
that they be recounted.
, Mr.. Crum objected to the recount
IN the grounds that the ballot boxes
were not properly taken care of to
prevent fraud. City Auditor NJ. H
Atkinson testified that the combina.

where the ballot boxes were kept
was written on the wall near the
vault and that the key to the inside

RAIN NEEDED
BY CROPS IN
NORTH DAKOTA
Deterioration May Occur I'm.
less There are Rains in
Next Ten Days

The group of Northwestern states
comprising Minnesota, North Dako-
ia, South Dakota and Montana, ha:
received no moisture of consequence
during the past week. Apparently
no grain is suffering, but some de-
terioration might occur unless there
are rains within the next ten days
according to reports received here.
Cold weather has continued with
temperatures as low as sixteen de-
grees at Northern points. Some OF
the fields of small grain have taken
on a brownish color due, probably
to heavy frosts and freezing. We
believe, however, that no real dam
age has been done to these crops.
The seeding Of barley and oats
has not yet been completed in the
North. Some fields of early barley
show the effects of cold weather.
Corn planting is progressing slow
ly, only small amount having been
accomplished to this time.
Some Of our reports from North
Dakota advise the rye crop is not
doing especially well, and apparently
has been somewhat affected by the
continuous cold. In Minnesota and
South Dakota, as we'll as few dis
tricts in North Dakota, the rye is
better. We believe this crop gen
orally will be spotted.
We have received number of re-
ports of increased flax acreage
throughout the Northwest. Many
shallow lakes and low spots have
dried up and are being broken for
flax. There are some districts
where the acreage will probably be
the heaviest in number of years.
Our last weeks letter reported slight
damage by frost to- some early flax
This is only small amount, but we
have advices that farmers expect to
reseed where damage occurred.
With good rains within short
time and warm, growing weather, we
believe the prospects for the small
grain crops of the Northwest are
exceedingly promising.

STATE WILL
REG ULATE
GRAIN TRADE
Law of 1913 to be Utilized
in Face of Court
Decision

As was anticipated by members OF
the state railroad commission weeks
ago and more recently fortified by
an opinion from the attorney gen.
erals office, regulation Of the grain
trade will be under the 1913 law
which places that function in the
hands Of the railroad commission.
This action became necessary by
reason of the decision of the United
State supreme court which held the
North Dakota's more recent law un-
constitutional.
Under a 1923 law it becomes the
duty of the sheriff to inspect weights
and measures.
