BOARD 0KAYS
l72 REQUESTS
FOR FARM LOANS

A total of 172 applications for farm
loans totaling SSH 900 were APPROX
ed by the state board Of school and
public lands at meeting here to-
day.
Most of the applicants said they
wanted state loans to pay off other
loans on which they have been pay
ing a higher rate of interest than
they would have to pay on state
money. The interest rate charged
by the state is five per cent. Others
asked loans to make improvements
on their properties and a few were
merely extensions of loans already
granted by the board.
Reward Posted
The board voted to offer reward
of $25 to any person giving evidence
leading to the arrest and conviction
of persons who remove buildings or
other improvements from state and
school lands. This practice is be-
coming more frequent, Carl X. Kos
itzky, land commissioner, told the
board.
No action was taken on proposal
to hold a sale Of state lands next
spring. Kositzky recommended that
such sale be held in few counties
in the western part Of the state from
which numerous requests have been
received.

n. D. GRAVEL
CAN BE USED
STATE ROADS
Federal Bureau Changes Spe.
cificatiOnS to Permit Use
of Home Material

A change in the specifications gov
erning the character Of gravel used
on North Dakota roads in order to
permit the use of material available
in the state has been agreed to by
the federal bureau Of public roads
at the solicitation Of the state high
way commission, it was announced
here today.
The change will win the approval
Of government road-making experts
for the material which now is being
used for surfacing North Dakota
roads and which will continue to be
used, Chief Engineer H. c. Frahm,
said.
The question arose several months
ago when testing engineers for the
federal government found that the
gravel being used for surfacing
North Dakota roads did not comply
with the state specifications for
gravel. That the specifications were
much more stringent than those in
use in adjacent states and that no
gravel obtainable in North Dakota
could be used under them made no
difference. They did not meet the
specifications and no argument could
prove that they did. The remedy
was to change the specifications and
an agreement has been made where
by this will be permitted.
Specifications Too Drastic
The trouble with the specifica-
tions, Frahm said, was that they
were devised without regard to the
road material available in the state.
He doesn't know who drafted them
but says they probably were copied
from some other state during the
early days Of the highway commits.
sion or else embody the idea of some
road engineer as to what perfect
gravel for road purposes should be
The difficulty with North Dakota
gravel, Frahm said, is that it is too
fine and does not contain sufficient
coarse material to he ideal for sur
facing purposes. However it is the
only cheap road surfacing material
available. To ship in from other
states all the gravel needed to sur
face North Dakota roads would be
economic suicide, he pointed out. and
anyhow ways have been devised to
make the native gravel serve very
we'll. The result Of the agreement
to- change the specifications is that
the state will now use native gravel
with the government approval where.
as it previously was used without
such approval.
Tho objection came only from the
testing engineer at Washington
Frahm said, as the government field
engineers who understand the situa.
tion approved the use Of native
gravel regardless Of specifications.

THOUSANDS RENDER
HOMAGE TO ALEXANDRA

London. Nov. ~. LP) P)--'fhousunds
Of persons rendered homage to the
Dowager uuccn AlrXandra in West
Abbey until an early hour
today. In an endless line from
shortly after the funeral yesterday.
they passed by the bier in the dim
ly lighted cathedral until o'clock
this morning this morning. 1t seem
ed to be the desire of all London
to pay tribute to Alexandra before
she was laid to rest today beside
King Edward VII. her husband. in
the tomb beneath st. Georges chap
cl at Windsor.
When midnight approached. it
was estimated that some 10000 per-
sons had failed past the coffin.
Three Tragic Deaths
Three tragic deaths have occurred
in connection with the passing of
Alexandra. Yesterday evening the
Lady Mayoress, wife Of Sir William
Pryke, lord mayor of London. died
suddenly from heart disease after
she had attended a memorial sery
ice in st. Pauls cathedral.
In the afternoon Canon Wcstlakc
custodian Of Westminster Abbey, who
had overtaxed himself in arranging
for the funeral Of Alexandra. went
home i'll. 81 am afraid it has been
too much for me- his wife heard
him murmur as she sat at the bed
side. immediately afterward the
Canon died.
Al Sunderland on Wednesday, the
warden Of Il church was killed as he
was muffling the bells for toiling
during yesterdays service in West
Minister. A large bell. which had
been tilted, fell over and crushcd
his head and body.

Mystery was added to the battling

For an hour after the shooting
Bauer did not know he had been hit.
''Im scared. But they missed

observed he was pale and tremblir:
and asked if he was all right.
Presently Bauer saw Il hole in his

PINCHOT SUBMITS
ELEVEN POINT PLAN

Harrisburg, Pa Nov. 2s.-tP)--,
Governor Pinchot today submitted to
leaders of the United Mine Workers,
gathered here at his request, an
eleven point plan for a new wage
agreement, including q provision for
immediate termination of the pres
ent suspension and resumption of
mining operations.
The plan outlined by the governor
proposes five year contract, crea-
ton of joint board of investiga-
tion and award to study the industry
and determine whether increased
wages can be granted without in
creased prices; a modified form of
checkotf without actual full recognl-
tion Of the union, equalization OF
wages by the board of conciliation
established under the Roosevelt set
Element Of 1908, and maintenance OF
1925 coal price schedules.
The governor set forth three con-
ditions for any settlement. the first
of which, he said, "should be very
practicable assurance to the public
that the price of anthracite will not
be raised by the operators"
The second condition, the COVER
nor declared, should be that another
interruption Of supply, like the pres
cnt, will not soon take place, and the
third should be "that an honest cf-
fort will be made to prevent another
interruption of supply from ever taxi
ing place."

NEW CABINET IS
A MODERATE BODY

Paris, Nov. 28.-lP)-Briand's new
cabinet, although falling short Of the
great concentration of all parties
hoped for in many quarters to face
the precarious financial situation, is
composed of the safest elements in
parliament, and is the most moderate
body Of ministers assembled since the
election of May, 1924.
The complete elimination of cx-
trcmists, both of the Communists
"nd Socialists Of the left and the
Nationalists of the right, is one Of
IT'S features.
Acceptance Of the finance port
folio by Louis Louchcur has aroused
intense interest in financial circles
Loucheur is known to be man Of
daring financial and economic con-
ccptions, and his activities as
Frances cashier will be watched with
great attention.
