CONFABS OF

Valley City, N. D.. March 12.-
District conferences that in reality
would be small conventions at which
telephone officials and employees in
the various districts of North Dakota
would gather for the purpose of be-
coming personally acquainted, ex-
change views on problems confront
ing the industry in that particular
district to the end that all would
keep abreast of the new develop
ments in the industry, were urged
by L. D. Richardson, of Fargo, d.
vision commercial manager of the
Northwestern Bell Telephone Com
pany in his address on "The Bene-
fits of District Conferences" before
the annual convention of the North
Dakota Telephone Association here.
Mr.. Richardson pointed out that the
three departments, traffic, plant and
commercial, should be given places
at these proposed district confer
ences where splendid opportunity
would be afforded operators to be-
come personally acquainted with a
result that better service could be
expected on lines over which the
operators have occasion to talk.

Says a Good Car
Is Like Good Health,

"You live longer, you live larger.
with a good car than without one"
says w. E. Lahr of the Lahr Motor
Sales Co. "Good health is the only
other thing that confers these bene-
fits. So a car becomes something
much more than a convenience or a
luxury to the one who owns it.
"The fact that automobile trans
portation is requisite to, bigger
measure of life, is becoming more
apparent every year. The millions
of car owners in America today are
a living demonstration of it.
"This situation puts upon the ear
dealer responsibility greater than
merely to provide new cars for
those who haven't any. He must
serve faithfully -and we'll those who
already have then."

Washington, Mar. l2.-The Treas

Senator Couzens Of, Michigan Ito
morrow, a notice Of an arbitrary as
sessment on profits alleged to have
been made by him in the sale of his
minority holdings of stock in the
Ford Motor Company. in 1919
While the computation of the as
sessment is practically complete, it
is the intention of the Treasury
to withhold it for one day to give
the Michigan Senator who is chair
man of the special committee in
vestigating the Internal Revenue
Bureau. an opportunity to sign a
waiver OF statute of limitations. if
he so desires. The Treasury sent
to the Senator Monday copy of a
memorandum from a private source
outside of the Treasury, purporting
to show that profits he had made on
the sale Of the stock to Henry Ford
had been under-assessed, and that
between $l0,OO0,000 and 100000
still was due the Treasury.
At the same time Senator Couzens
declared an attempt in the Senate
was being made to "discipline hiM''
for his activities in investigation af-
fairs Of the Revenue Bureau.
The statute of limitations which
Senator Couzens has declined to
waive, runs from tomorrow, and the
Treasury declared it was faced with
obtaining waiver or applying an
assessment.

WOULD CHANGE
SULLY'S HILL
NAME BY BILL
Senator Ladd Introduces
Measure by Request, and
Asks for Information .

Devils Lake, N. D., March 12--
The name of .Sully's Hill National
park will be permanently lost if Sem
ate bill 4405 becomes law, is the
advice the secretary of the Civic and
Commerce association received today
from Senator f. +. Ladd.
The bill was introduced in the Sem
ate March 2, too late to be acted
upon during +he short session, and
Senator Ladd wishes to be advised
as to the disposition of the people of
the Lake Region relative to the bill.
The recommendations of the secret
ary Of the interior would lead the
ordinary person to believe that Sui
ly's Hill National park was merely
pasture, the Secretary in his letter
says:
This park constitutes a small
area Of 7S0 acres near Devils
Lake, North Dakota, given the
name of q national park but
actually utilized as game pre-
serve under the control, of the
Biological survey of the depart
ment Of agriculture. 1t is not
actively administered by the Ma
= tional Park Service Of the Inter-
ior department, no funds for this
purpose having ever been made
available by congress. The park
is fenced to within 80 feet of the
boundary with high wire fence
to keep elk and buffalo within
and only a small part-a small
picnic grove near Devils Lake,
is available to the public for park
purposes The area has no. such
outstanding scenic characterist-
les that should entitle it to ma
tional park status, and further
more its status as such Under the
above, conditions is anomalous.
1t would seem far more satisfac-
tory and proper if its designation
as a>"national park" were ended,
the reservation eliminated from
the National Park system, and
it's name changed to the Sullys
J Hill National Game preserve by
appropriate IeglSlatlOn.
Senator Ladd introduced this bill
(by requesD. 1t was read twice in
the senate on March 2 and was re-
ferred to the committee on public
lands and surveys of which Senator
Ladd is the chairman.
c. o. Russell, president of the. Civ
ic and Commerce association, ex-
pressed the opinion that while there
are a number of advantages in having
the park under the control of the
Biological survey as a game preserve.
time will come when the people of
North Dakota will without doubt
want the park as National park.
Mr.. Russell said, "While we admit
that there are no geysers, hot springs
or rock topped mountains in the park,
nevertheless the park is scenic. It is
entirely different from the. ordinary
run of scenery in North Dakota.
Nothing has been done by the
National Park service towards maxi
ing the park more suitable, much of
the time roads to the park have been
practically impossible and the public
has not had the opportunity to visit
the park, consequently little is known
about the park throughout the state.
This is Z matter which should have
the careful thought Of the people Of
this state and particularly the Lake
Region section"
