MILLIONS

The Public Buildings Commits
sion is about to enter upon the
: task Of finding sites for a logical
grouping of new departmental
office structures to be erected in
Washington in the next five years.
Congress within the next few
weeks will put the finishing
touches on law which will pro-
vide $50, OOO, 900 for long overdue
Government office buildings in
the city, involving as part of
the first years program an
archives structure. housing for the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue, and
comprehensive additions to the
Department Of Agriculture.
Must Buy More Land
OF the structures to be erected
in the five-year program, only a
small part can be built in accord
ance with the Mcmillan plan unless
there are large additional purchases
Of land BY the Federal Government.
OF the property lying south Of
Pennsylvania Avenue, between the
Capitol and the Treasury. only that
small section between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Streets has been
acquired by the Government.
Part Of this property already is
used for the temporary structure
af Tnfo4naI RQWAnV10
between B and G Streets North
west. It Is possible that the pro-
posed new structure for the bureau
viii be built on this site.
The immediate future OF the tri-
angle of land lying between Penn
syIvania Avenue, p, Fourteenth
end Fifteenth Streets Northwest Is
q matter which will not be definitely
determined until the Public. Build
fngs Commission decides upon its
first years program under the new
bEl1.
Polls Theater Involved.
Involved in this property is Polls
Theater, now owned by the Gov
eminent. but occupied by the Shu
bert interests on a month-to-montE
lease agreement. The theater is
now being used free of the $4,000
yearly rental formerly charged by
the Government. because of he
expenditure for the remodeling of
the interior that came after the
Knickerbocker disaster.
This expense was borne by the
Shuberts and S. u. Poll in exchange
for the remission of the rental.
The theater can be taken over by
the Public Buildings Commission at
any time it desires to do so, as
can also the Oxford Hotel and
other business property in the tri-
angle.
The location of the archives build
ing has not been determined, but
IL is probable that the tentative
plan of constructing it on two
blocks adjacent to the PostoffiCe
Department on the southwest viii
be carried out. The Department
of Agriculture buildings will be
erected as a part of the present
group at Fourteenth and B Streets
Southwest.
The main problem before the
Public Buildings Commission is TO
determine it's policy with regard to
the purchase of land south of Penn
sylyania Avenue. II appropriations
are not made available for the ac-
quirement of this property, then the
new departmental buildings will
have to be placed in more or less
painless style on other sites, pos
sibly involving the use OF land now
reserved for public parks. 1t is
probable that any further encroach-
ment on the Mall will be resisted
by Congress and by the Fine Arts
Commission, however

Seal Sale, Only
Partly'COmpleted,
Brings in $161.30

The Christmas seal drive in the
business section has given the North
Dakota tuberculosis association
$161.3O up to the present time and
the drive is still incomplete. The
sale of seals in the three booths
Saturday amounted to SG6.32
Officers in charge Of the drive are
urging each family in the city to
purchase 10 cents worth of seals for
every member of the family. thus
bringing Bismarcks sale above the
quota of eight cents per capital for
state work and leaving large sur
plus for local work.
A great many people have received
the mistaken impression that the
school nurse is paid by Christmas
seal funds. The school nurse re
ceives her salary from the school
board but does use Christians seal
money in her relief work.
The booths in the Mckenzie, Grand
Pacific and the postofifce will be
opened again December IL and De
cember l8. The school drive begins
today

RETURN OF VOTERS TO PROGRESSIVE
REPUBLICAN PARTY IS STRlKINCLY
SHOWN BY l922-l926 COMP ARIS0NS

The return Of voters to the pro-
gressive Republican party. as led by
Governor A. G. Sorlie, is strikingly
illustrated by comparative figures on
the 1922 and 1926 elections. In 1922
the fight was between R. A. Nestos
and William Lemke for the governor
ship.
AT that time, although Lemke ran
as Nonpartisan candidate, the Non
partisans professed more or less al
legiance to the Republican party and
considered themselves a branch of it.
In 1926, however, Lemke and Ralph
Ingerson set up the Farmer-Labor par
ty composed Of the extremists, who
ran on strongly socialistic platform.
Ingerson was their candidate for gov
ernor against A. G. Sorlie and was
decisively defeated, while Lemke was
defeated by Gerald r. Nye for the
United States senatorship.
In Oliver county, in 1922, r. A. Mes
tos, Republican, received 27l votes
and William Lemke, Nonpartisan.
769 votes. In 1926 A. G. Sorlie, Pro-
gressive Republican, received 839
votes, d. N. Holmes, Democrat, 66
votes and Ralph Ingerson. Farmer

Labor and a former running mate Of
Lemke, 80 votes.
In the 1926 election the Republicans
gained 568 votes, the Democrats, who
did not have a candidate in the 1922
election, gained 66 votes and the
-Laborites, who were repre-
sented by the Nonpartisans in the
1922 election. lost 766 votes.
Divide County Shifts
Divide county shows another shift
to the Republican standard. In 1922,
Nestos received 1,O55 votes and
Lemke 1929. In 1926, Sorlie received
2,493, Holmes 1870 and Ingerson 40.
This represents gain Of l,438 votes
for the Progressive Republicans, 1870
for the Democrats and loss Of 1880
votes for the radicals.
Williams county, in 1922, gave Mes
tos 2.27l votes and Lemke, 3,133. In
1925, Sorlie received 1901, Holmes
S93 and Ingerson PAT. The Republi-
cans gained 1880 votes, the Demo-
Gratis 39S and the extremists lost 1855
votes.
Renville county gave Nestos 75O
votes in 1922 and Lemke 1880. In

FEDERAL FARM
LEGISLATION
TO BE SOUGHT
President Thompson Makes
Appeal at Opening Of Farm
Bureau Convention

Chicago, Dec. 6.-fP)-- Americait
agriculture was summoned today to
press with constant aggrcssiveness
toward federal farm aid legislation,
by Sam H. Thompson in the prcsi-
Dental address which opened the
eighth annual convention Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
To the thousands of farmers gath
cred for the greatest agrarian session
of the year, he gave that keynote.
but he tempered it with counsel Of
deliberate decision on measures to
meet their problems.
Especially did he urge that nothing
be done that would in any degree in
jure the cooperative marketing move
ment, which, he said, has performed
"vast service" with the aid Of statd
and national legislation, even though
it has not effected complete agricul-
tural stabilization.
I'VE have right to expect what
ever additional legislation is needed

FREIGHTERS
MAY BE FREED
FROM ICE JAM
Mo- d erat ing Temperatures
Lend Helping Hand to Ice
Breakers, Car Ferries
OFFICIALS OPTIMISTIC
Severe Loss Would Result If
Ships Cannot BE Moved
Until Next Spring

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Dec. c.
Collaborating temperatures today
lent helping hand to the ice break
ers and car ferries attempting to dis
lodge the ice jam which has choked
the outlets of the st. Mary's river and
imprisoned l23 lake freight steam
ships.
A steady rise in temperature made
some inroads into the ice and led
steamboat officials to take more
optimistic view of the situation.
Three or four days of moderate
weather, they said, might assist tho
breakers enough to permit clearance
Of the channel.
Colder weather at this time, how
ever, might force abandonment Of at
tempts to move the ships this winter.
In that event they would suffer Sc
we're loss. In addition to the possi-
bic loss of cargOes, steam would have
to be maintained and at least a half
crew kept aboard throughout the per-
iod Of Imprisonment.
After freeing five of the vessels in
the upper outlet yesterday, the
Sainte Marie. giant car ferry, today
transferred operations to the lower
outlet. The ice clog caused by the
down drift of huge cakes has assum-
ed menacing proportions there and
the Sainte Marie will endeavor to
crash lane through the barrier TO,
the two-fold purpose Of giving ar
outlet to the ice drift and releasing
some of the downbound boats in that
section of the channel.

STRANGER 1c
NOW SOUGHT IN
MURDER PROBE
Farmer Says He Met Olson
and Stranger at Dance
Night Girl Disappeared

Prairie du Chen. Wis, Dec. go
A mysterious stranger entered the
Olson murder case today.
On the eve Of the inquest into the
death Of Clara Olson, Morse farmers
daughter, whose body was found in a
shallow grave on "A lonely hill top
near her sweetheart's home, District
Attorney Earl obtained statements
indicating the participation OF an un-
known individual in the events of the
night of September 8, when the girl
disappeared.
Merle Murray, a farmer Of Mount
Sterling, told the. district attorney
that on that evening he had met Erd-
man Olson, sought as the girls siay-
CT, ut a Seneca dance and had taken
drink with him and stranger at
1880, after which the youth and his
companion departed together.
Drove Away in Car
The prosecutor also was informed
that Park Morris, proprietor Of the
Mount Sterling hotel, who was at a
dance saw Erdman and the stranger
drive away in Erdman's car in the
direction of Clara's residence, which
she left at midnight.
Farm folk from 80 miles around
treked through blizzard today to
this little town of 3,5OO-the setting
for the most dramatic action Craw-
ford county has known since the
first settlement, a fur trading post,
was established here in the revolu-
tionary days. Their objective was the
court house, scene of the inquest for
the girl whose head was crushed,
probably by hammer or the blunt
side Of an axe.
In addition to the information from
Murray and Morris, District Attorney
Earll has closely guarded blood
stained letter written to Clara by
Erdman the day she disappeared, and
which may throw considerable light
on several mysterious phases Of the
case. The letter was taken from the
girls clothing by autopsists, who
Saturday revealed how she came to
her death
Erdman's father has continued to
express faith in the innocence Of his
son, and in message. which he ask
ed radio stations to broadcast, asked
the youth to return, saying he would
stand by him to the last.

Des M0ines, Dec. 6.-(R)-The SEN
ate, which once decided that Dan r.
Steck, Democrat Of Iowa, was entitled
to the senate seat of Smith w. Brook
hart, Republican, may be called on to
consider a proposal to oust the vic
tor. the Des Moines Register said to-
day.
The newspaper said rumors among
Democrats known to be unfriendly to
Steck have it that Senator H. d.
Stephens, Democrat of Mississippi
one Of the eight members Of that
party to vote against seating Steck
last April, may introduce the ousting
resolution.
The action would be based, it was
stated, on alleged improper distribu-
tion Of Funds given Senator Steck
by the senate for attorneys fees in
the election contest decided in his
favor"
Senatorial precedence for such a
move was claimed by anti-Steck
Democrats, although no specific in
stances were mentioned in the story.

MRS. DUNLAP
PASSES AWAY
AT ANACONDA
Wife of Former Bismarck
Doctor Succumbs to Illness
Contracted During War

Word comes from Los Angeles Of
the sudden death at Anac conda, Mont,
of Mrs. L. G. Dunlap, who made many
friends in Bismarck during her resi-
dence here.
Mrs. Dunlap came to Bismarck as
bride with her husband, DR.. l.. G.
Dunlap, who was aural surgeon on
the staff Of Quain & Ramstad for
several years preceding Americas
entry in the world war. The young
couple met in Chicago, when he was
an inferno and she student nurse
ut Presbyterian hospital.
When America entered the war.
DR.. Dunlap was comm missioncd in the
medical corps, and Mrs. Dunlap ac-
c0mpained him to Fort Benjamin
Harrison, where he was stationed un-
til peace was concluded. 1t was
there, while serving as a volunteer
nurse during the flu epidemic of
1918, that Mrs. Dunlap contracted
the infection which finally caused
her death.
Spent Past Summer In Europe
Following the armistice. DR.. and
Mrs. Dunlap went to Anaconda,
Mont, where he became aural sur
geon for the Anaconda Mining COM
pany, which post he continues to
hold. Last spring Mrs. Dunlap, with
her little daughter, and her sister,
accompanied by DR.. Dunlap to Wen
ma, where he studied with q selected
group of American surgeons at the
famous medical university Of the
Austrian capital. Mrs. Dunlap's
summer in Vienna, Antwerp and
Paris was a particularly happy one,
and she returned to her home in
Anac odna, Nearly in the fall, in splen-
did health and spirits. Her family
was entirely unprepared for the
shock Of her last illness, which was
Of only few days duration.
The funeral was one Of the most
impressive in the history of Ana
conda. When the American Legion
Of that city learned that Mrs. Dun
laps death was indirectly due to her
voluntary care Of the dough h-boys at
Fort Benjamin Harrison during the
war, they insisted upon giving her
full military honors. This is said to
have been one Of the few occasions
when q civilian has been SO honored.
Interment was made at Anaconda,
where the husband, seven-year-Old
daughter, and two younger sisters Of
the deceased, reside.
Home at Lidgerwood
Mrs. Dunlap will be recalled by all
who knew her here as an exception
ally lovable young matron. and her
untimely passing has been real
