AVERAGE LOSS
ON HOME LOAN
REMAINS HIGH
Reports on Forty Closed
Settlements Made BY
Industrial Board

The average loss per project on 40
closed settlements of the Home
Building association in 1924 was ST.
598.92. the report Of the state In
dustrial Commission for the year
ending Dec. 81, 1924 shows.
This was less than $500 for the
preceding year when the average net
loss was $2,s52.5s per house. The
book cost greatly exceeds the actual
value of the property. Under the
method Of settlement adopted by the
Industrial Commission the property
is conveyed to the purchaser by war
ranty deed and the purchaser de-
livers q mortgage and note to cover
the equity of the state.
The cash summary is larger than
for 1928. exceeding the summary fol-
that year by $4,000. The total fol
the summary in 1924 was $65.433.23
as against $40,717.22 for 1923. Cash
on hand Dec. 81, 1924, was $40, ,375.06
while cash on hand the same date in
1928 was $31, 1,775.l7.
Total disbursements in 1924
amounted to $45,05S.17. Disburse.
ments for 1928 were $S,942.05.
The affairs Of the association are
in liquidation by the Industrial Com.
mission. Fifty residences construct
ed by the association were transfer
red to the commission in 1923.
After determining the value of the
property the purchaser is charged Al
the rate of 6 per cent year on such
amount for the period he has occu'
pied the premises, together with
taxes and insurance paid by the
commission. The purchaser is cred
tied with all payments made, with
interest. and given further coun,
ter-claim allowance for the none,
expended by him in construction
costs. For this reason the difference
| shown between the Book Cost" II
the report and the "Gross Sale Price
does not exactly equal the "Net
Loss" borne by the state settlements
made.

CHILDREN TURN TO PRAYER
AS SCORPIONS INVADE HOMES

Durango, Mex.-R)-Five thou
sand children attended q special
mass in the cathedral here recent
ly. when prayers we're offered for a
cessation of the plague Of scorpions
which has invaded this district,
From the thousands Of dead in
sects which have been brought in to
the municipal authorities attempts
are being made to produce serum
against the poisonous sting Of the
hairy creature. Ten thousand live
scorpions have been shipped to the
federal department Of health.
The fact that a majority Of the
poorer class houses in Durango and
nearby villages are constructed Of
adobe bricks and unplastered is be-
lieved to account for the plague. as
the cracks between the bricks offer
ideal breeding places. Another the
ory is that myriads Of scorpions
have been driven from the nearby
hills by the recent earthquakes.

ALL MEMBERS
OF PARTY ARE
SAFE IN PORT
Brief Announcement Is Made
of Explorers Arrival
at Spitzbergen
LEFT LATE IN MAY
Flight to Arctic Regions One
of Most Hazardous Under
takings in History

New York, June 1s.-LF-The
North American Newspaper Al
lance announced today that
Roald Amundsen. the explorer.
has returned to Spitzbergen
from the North Pole.
Bernon s. Premise, brother-in-
law of Lincoln Ellsworth, CO.
leader of the expedition, said he
had received word that all six
members of the party had re-
turned safely to Spitzbergen.
Amundsen and his party'flew from
Spitzbergen on May II and since
that time the world has been wait
ing anxiously for his return or fol-
word from the great Norwegian ex'
plorer.
Six men are participating in this
greatest gamble with death ever TAX.
en- in the interest Of science. With
the south pole discoverer was Oskal
Omdahl. young Norwegian mail pilot
He steered the big all-meta
monoplane in its 18OO-mile flight ovel
the top Of the world.
Slowly, deliberately. thoroughly
Amundsen figured for years or
this trip.
Amundsen's flight was one of the
most hazardous undertakings in the
history of human endeavor. But i,
was all for science.
Amundsen's tiny schooner, The
Maud, carrying seven Norwegian sci
entists and naviga tors, is frozen fas'
in the arctic ice, drifting through
the polar basin across the north
pole. As it drifts, the crew plumb:
the ocean, analyses water and will
special apparatus collects all sort!
Of scientific data. - From this, sci
ence hopes to gain much usefu
knowledge. Means of foretellins
weather conditions half year aheat
is hoped for as one result. <
This trip will take seven years
time. Amundsen, in his over-the
pole flight sought, through observa
tions and melton pictures, to collec
geographic and other data to direc
the Maud crew to best advantage IL
their adventurous trip.
In addition to Amundsen's all
metal monoplane, a Curtiss Oriole
plane and pilot are part of the Maut
equipment, and this was uset
in flights for miles to each side o.
the schooner, quickly mapping terri
tory it would require years of toi
to cover otherwise.
The flight is shorter than tn,
transcontinental nonstop flight o:
Lieutenants Macready and Kelly o1
the American army-but the chance!
of death were infinitely greater. Any
slight miscalculation of direction
might influence the fuel supply, any
mishap might mean death. There
are few places to land in the frozer
wastes. Success had to come auickl,
or the frozen north would have
claimed another disaster.

FARGO PLEASED

Fargo, N. D., June 18.-(R-An-
nouncement today of general down
ward revision of rates ordered by the
interstate commerce commission was
said by Commercial club officers who
have been working in the interests Of
the case several years to be the "best
news Fargo has had in long time
and "the biggest thing that has ever
happened to Fargo"
It was explained that the decision
climaxed long struggle on the part
of manufacturers and shippers and
commercial interests to revise freight
rates coming in to Fargo and shipped
out. The Fargo Commercial inter-
ests in complaining against the rates
alleged that they were unfair and un-
reasonable in several major ways.
They sought to have an equaliEa-
tion of rates from Chicago and other
eastern points equal to the rates of
the Twin Cities.

RAILROAD RATES FROM FARGO
HELD ILLEGAL BY j. s. BOARD
Sweeping Adjustments are
Ordered BY Interstate
Commerce Commission

Washington, d. c., June 1S,-R -
Railroad rates from Fargo, N. D., af-
fecting nearly all parts of the United
States, were held to be unfair today
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. A sweeping series of readjust-
ments were ordered effective by Sep
tember II.
In general the commission held
that Fargo was subjected to urrea
sonable discrimination as compared
With rates applying to the Twin
Cities and Duluth, MINI. It indicat-
ed that somewhat similar adjust
ment should be made in regard to
Grand Forks. N. d.
Should Be Lower
In laying down proposed changes.
most of which will be reductions to
Fargo, the commission said that
class rates from Chicago to Fargo
hereafter should be $1.65 per 100
pounds, decreasing with changes in
class until they become Soc per 100
pounds for class five commodities.
From all points east Of Chicago to
Fargo the factor Of joint rates COW
ering transportation between Chi
cago and Fargo may not be more
than $1.49 per 100 pounds for class
one shipment and 54c in rates from
Fargo to Montana, points west of
Mutton, Melstone, and Myers. Not
more than 900 miles from Fargo
rates from Fargo must be equal to
rates from the Twin Cities. From
Omaha and Kansas City and like
territory to Fargo class rates must
be established ranging from $l.55 to
STA per 100 pounds for class one
shipment, and from SEC to CSC per
100 pounds for class five shipments.
Other Rates High
Glass rates to Valley City and
jamestown from Minnesota cities
were likewise found unreasonable
and prejudicial. A scale Of class
rates was laid down on the basis Of
mileage by which rates out of St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth to
Minnesota and North Dakota points
will be equalized. In class one ship
ment of 10 miles or less the class
rate must be 33c for first class ship
ment and must not be more than
$1.57 for distances of over ATS miles.
Rates for lower class shipments are
fixed proportionally to first class
shipments.
