GRANT WANTSLAND
PRICE BAR LIFTED
Urges Congress, in Annual
Report, to Remove Limita-
tion on Park Purchase.

Hope that the prohibition against
the purchase Of any land for park
purposes at more than 2s per cent
above the assessed value would be
removed by the present Congress is
expressed in the annual report of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, which is signed by Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, as member and
executive officer.
Col. Grant frankly explained that
the development of park and play
ground areas in this city is being very
seriously limited by this restriction
on land acquisition.
Funds Below Quota.
While the Park Commission act, he
said, authorized yearly appropria-
ton for land acquisition and all ex-
penses of a sum equal to one cent
for each inhabitant of the continental
United States, which would have
amounted to $1,057,OO0 for a year,
the first appropriation, being for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1926, was
only 100000 and the second appro-
priation being for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, next, appropriated an
aggregate of only 100000, and
further provided that only $3.50. 900 of
this sum could be expended for land
purchases at a price in excess of 25
per cent of the last assessed value.
He points out TO Congress that the
Controller General of the United
States has held that this Limitation
applies even to acquisition by con-
demnation proceedings, as we'll as by
direct purchase, and then he adds that

no appearance by either side, de-
fault was entered and the case
continued until further notice.
Judge Paul signed orders au-
thorizing receivers of the Secur-
ity State bank at Wolf Point, the
Citizens bank of Culbertson and
the State Bank to pay the taxes
on the property owned by these
banks.
In the afternoon the judge pre-
sided over naturalization day of
court. District Director of Nat
uralization Del L. Sullivan of
Denver, appeared for the depart
ment of labor. The following Pc
titioners were heard, their wit
nesses examined, and they were
admitted to citizenship: Lazaris

Peterson, Scobey; John 0. Bak-
ken, Glasgow; Oliver L. Nord-
witch, Dowd, who came in under
the act of 1926 extending citizen
ship to honorably discharged sol
diers and sailors.

when 70 acres of valley land
will produce a $1,000 crop in one
season, it is pretty nearly time
that pessfmists turned into opti-
mists and a big smile should show
on the map to indicate this region
of natural wealth. For, mind
you, this 500 per acre return
required the minimum effort to
gain. The story sounds fabu-
lous, but the fact remains and
the proof is tangible. 1t is ann
munition for the optimist with
which to "raise hob" with all the
"knocks" that are aimed at the
Lower Yellowstone valley.
Clayton Worst took off this
crop in the form of Grimm alfal-
ia seed-25,665 pounds of it
with a market value of between
IS and 40 cents per pound. He
has pooled the production with

PREY TO VARIOUS ILLS.
Bacteria Subject to Forms of Dis

Disease germs are like the human

they themselves are subject to dis

them are resistant to their microbial
ills while others easily sicken and die,

MAY BUSINESS LOCAL
 STANDARD OIL PLANT
 EXCEEDS ALL RECORDS

The Seward Standard Oil Company station was established in August of 1924 at a cost of S150,OOO. Since then. owing to the steadily increase in bus mess, the sum of over S50,OO0 in ad- dition has been expended in general improvements, such as new buildings and yard equipment. That improve ments of a substantial character will continue to be made can be seen in the local statement issued yesterday, that the month of May exceeded all previ- ous records.
 The plant is doing a tremendous shipping business which, it is announc- ed, has now attained the magnitude of six entire carloads a week. Two carloads each week go forward to the Fairbanks Exploration Company of Fairbanks. Seven men comprise the crew which efficiently takes care of this big business.
