agriculture vary materially
With few exceptions the trend has
been steadily upw ard in acreage.
The decrease noted in 1918 ond 1919

BUILDING IN NORTHWEST WHEN NEW
STRUCTURE IS COMPLETED APRIL !

When the Bismarck office of the
Northwestern Bell Telephone com
pany moves into its new building
. at the corner Of Fifth and Thayer
streets sometime during the month
OF April next year, it will occupy
one of the most modern and best
equipped telephone buildings in the
northwest.
Two stories high, of Georgian
architecture, the building looks
more like a public building than
that-o II telephone company, but
inside, it has been planned to util-
lie every inch Of space in the most
efficient way. The structure is
constructed Of red brick, with trim
minRs and cornice of white sand
stone, and is absolutely fireproof,
steel doors being used all the way
through. 1t has frontage of SIS
feet on Thayer street and SO feet
on Fifth street.
To Have New Switchboard
An entirely new switchboard, the
first of this ultra modern kind to
be Installed anywhere in the North
west, will be placed in the building.
One .of the features of this board
is that both the toll and local board
are connected, making it easier for
operators to obtain the correct
numbers and speeding up transmits
sion. of calls. Fifteen hundred
numbers will be available on the
new. board, an increase of three
hundred over the board now used,
and all provisions are made for the
increase sure to come with the pass
ing years.
On the main floor will be the
business office, occupying the south
half of the building, and in the
entrance will be a pay statinn
which will be open for day and
might service. On the north half
81 TIE first floor will be the

distance telephone and telegraph
callf will be handled through this
connection.

yield Of small grain, and to improve
the quality through tn" elimination
of foul seed, while the livestock man
is assured an abundance Of feed.
Corn, alfalfa or sweet clover, and
small grain is the proper rotation for
this county. 1t provides for plenty
of feed, and provides for Il cultivated
crop which has a tendency to con-
serve moisture which is so essential
here. How the rotation should be
worked out on each farm is the
farmers individual problem. p

Guthrie of the company is personally
supervising the work.
The nurses expect to be in the
hospital by Christmas time and the
public opening is to be held some
time in January, according to Sister
Boniface.

provides for more livestock, more
sources of income and more work.
If one crop fails there is always
some other crop to depend on for
the years profit. This, from what
the writer has been able to gather
from a large number Of farmers
talked 10 in about seven months,
seems to be the surcst way to keep
the bank account growing. 1t is
their experience. For further infor-
nation ask any good farmer of Bur-
leigh county. The writer VIII gladly
give the names to aa, one interest I'd.

serves the building and, it is esti-
mated, will be able to handle the
telephone facilities of Bismarck for
the next twenty-five years.
There will be no INTERRUPTION in
service when lines are "cut-over' to
the new building, Frank Snyder,
area manager of the company, said.
Before switching is done, a great
deal Of preliminary work will have
to be accomplished to connect the
myriad Of wires necessary to oper-
ate this system, but the final con-
nection will mean simply the throw
ing of switch and calls will 20

MAN. Is HELD
GUILTY OF MANSLAJGHTER

Walter Perry, %, Tuesday night
was convicted of murder in the sec
ond degree by 4 superior court jury
Following two-day trial. Perry adj
mitted on the stand that he shot and
mortally wounded Walter Miller in
Prescott on the night of February
last. His plea was self defense, and
a six-shooter was exhibited as be-
longing to Miller who was described
as of quarrelsome disposition and
habituated to carrying weapons.
The jury deliberated briefly and
brought in its verdict at 1880 o'clock.
The end Of the Perry trial brought
out in sharp relief, the paradox of the
two guns, that certain 80 calibre
Luger with which the fatal shot was
fired and the glossy Colt 1920 said
to have been Miller's personal arm.
None, it might be said, expected the
verdict to be other than one of ac-.
quittal, because of the peculiar force
given to the self-defense plea. And
on the other hand, none could quite
understand how it was that the Mil
Ter weapon was produced by the at
torneys for the state, while it was
Walter Perry's twin brother, Wesley,
his companion on the night Of the
shooting, who left the court room and
returned bringing the gun that the
defendant identified as his own-all a
part of the defense case. Usually
these things are reversed.

available, it was said at the confer
ence. This would run from LAS Vegas,
New, to Douglas by way Of kingman,
Prescott, Tucson and Bisbee. me

LEGION VETS ASK FOR
100000 ARIZ. ACRES

Stephen B. Rayburn, chairman Of
the American Legion committee head
ing a movement to have 100000
acres of public government land in
Arizona set aside for the use of all ex-
service mems organizations in this
state, received kilograms from Sena-
tors Cameron and Ashurst at Wash
ington that bill providing for such a
land grant is now in the making and
viii be introduced in the house within
the next few days.
The request for the 100000 acres
of government land by the Legion was
made last July at the state convention
of the Legion in Nogales, and received
the full endorsement of al ex-service
organizations.
The 100000 acres would be select
ed from the more than 13,000,000
acres of government public land now
open to homestead in Arizona. Pre-
ference to grazing land would be made
and the soldiers land leased princi-
paily to cattle and sheep men. At the
present time public grazing land is
being leased at three cents an acre,
making it possible for the soldiers to
realize 100000 a year from their
prospective land grant.
The 100000 would be used solely
for the rehabilitation of disabled
soldiers coming to Arizona for their
health it is proposed.

Announcement that Arizona prod
ucts would be featured ON the dining
car and eating houses of the cele-
brated Fred Harvey system on the
Santa Fe railroad during the week,

with consideration of the new Swing
johnson bill for construction, through
d federal bond issue, of the Boulder
canyon project, will be decided next

WILL TEST VALIDITY OF
TAX AGAINST INDIANS

The state will intervene on behalf
of Apache county in the suit brought
by the federal government against
that county to restrain the county
from taxing certain property belong
ing to several Indians who have To-
Gated homesteads on public lands
there, it is announced by John w.
Murphy, attorney general.
The request that. the state inter-
yene in the case was made by Isaac
Barth of Los Angeles, and brother of
Maurice Barth, county attorney of
Apache county, who has been retained
to assist the county in the case. The
case win be tried in the federal court
in Phoenix.
The case brought by the federal
government on behalf of the Indians
seeks to recover $93 paid in taxes by
the Indians. According to the COM
plant, the Indians have left the res
ervation and have taken up home
stead allotments in Apache county.
They have moved their sheep and
horses and cattle onto the lands and
are grazing them on the public do
main in Apache county, The Apache
county officials taxed the livestock,
and it is alleged in the complaint that
the county is without the right to tax
the property in that the Indians have
not given up their tribal rights by
taking up the homesteads.
Apache county contends that it has
the right to tax the property of the
Indians in this particular case, al
though the Indians have not given up
their tribal rights.
