business and reputation had been
damaged as the result of the report
of the senate fact---inding commit
tee, appointed at the last legislative
session to investigate the st mill
and elevator.
In letter received by Gilbert
Semingson, state bank examiner,
Joseph referred to the committee
report and also to the audit of the
mills affairs, made recently by
Lund.
Semingson turned the letter over
to the board Of auditors which then
directed Lund audit the books of
tho Minneapolis firm in 70 far as
they revealed it's relations with the

At the same time Governor Sorlie
announced that he had appointed
Th mas Poole, Bismarck account
ant, to audit the books Of the Jo-
seph company concurrently with
Lund. Lund left for Minneapolis
M. aday night but Poole is not ex-
pected to follow for day or two.
Poole was appointed o. recommend
alton of the state bank examiner.

ernor announced, is merely the first
Of several moves, which, he said,

call would be clearly outlined before
1t was made.
Il have been thinking of this for
some time," the governor said, "and
there are lot of reasons why we
should have special session, but
they can come later"
Answering query he said that
no one had asked him to call a spe-
cial session but that he practically
had determined upon the advisable
ty of the move. "As manager Of the
public service corporation of North
Dakota | want to call the represen-
tatives Of the stockholders together
to discuss the affairs Of the state"
the executive said. He indicated that
he may have further statements re.
garding his plans for special ses-
sion in the near future but said he
had nothing more to say at this
time.
The announcement is believed
here. however, to be direct result
Of the agitation over the manage
ment Of the state mill and elevator
which began last winter during the
legislative session and which has
since been prominently before the
public on several occasions.
The first was the report by the
fact-finding committee of the state
senate, appointed last winter: and
the second was the audit report Of
o. B. Lund, examiner for the state
board Of auditors. Both attacked
the governors management of tho
mill and elevator.
Although silence had been main.
tanned regarding the two reports
for weeks, it was broken for the
first time yesterday when the gov
ernor charged Lund with having
made a political" audit and going
far outside his duties as an audi
tor in connection with his audit re.
port on the state mill. The execu.
tive charged Lund with going into
matters in the audit report which
he was not competent to discuss.
Lund in Twin Cities
Lund left last night to investigate
the books Of the /. S. Joseph COM
pany, Minneapolis, which purchased

and elevator. Both the fact-finding
committee report and the Lund
audit attacked the contracts made
by the mill with the Joseph COM
pany as disadvantageous to the
mill. The audit of the Minneapolis
firms books is being made 1t Jo-
seph's request. At the same time
the governor appointed Thomas
Poole, Bismack accountant, to make
an audit concurrently with Lund. In
a discussion yesterday Lund told the
governor that he would not cooper
ate with Poole in making Z report
but that each would present q sep
arate report. The governor con-
ferred with Poole today.
If the executive carries out his
announced intention Of calling .

time that the legislature has met in
other than regular session since
1919, when u. S. Senator Lynn ].

call.

The prairie chicken season for
North Dakota closed yesterday. and
today hunters were looking back to
it as far from the bowling success
that had been expected. There was
a scarcity Of chickens this year, and
it was particularly noticeable in the
Missouri Slope country. The reason
given by the state game and fish

The Joseph company of Min
neapolis was brought into the
state mill and elevator contro-
versy as a result Of a report
made some time ago by senate
committee named at the last
legislative session to investigate
the affairs of the state mill and
elevator. The committee re-
ported that the mill had lost
large sum Of money as the re-
suit of selling quantities of feed
to the Joseph company at less
than the Grand Forks market
price and in addition had paid
the Joseph company large sums
because it was unable to fulfill
it's contracts.

Tax Deed Issuance
Ruled on by Shafer

North Dakota sheriffs arc re-
quired by law to- issue tax deeds to
the Bank of North Dakota in cases
where the bank has foreclosed mort
cages but has not paid taxes as
sessed against the property.
Answering a query on the point
by the Bank of North Dakota, At
torney General George +. Shafer
pointed out that he wrote the law
and designed it to meet that par
ticular point since it was the situa-
tion which the legislature had in
tended to meet. The new law, pass
ed in 1927, applies to deeds issued
prior to July 1, 1927, as well as
deeds issued since that time.
When the law says "distinctive
color" it means just that and there
is nothing else to it, Shafer has ad-
Msed Secretary Of State Robert
Byrne with respect to the binding OF
$50 copies Of the session laws OF
1927.
Under the law the printer is re.
quired to bind $50 copies in a color
distinctive from that used in bind.
ing other copies Of the same book
and to stamp them with the words

kota."
When the books came they were
properly stamped but were bound II
q uniform color, so Byrne asked
Shafer what he should do about it.
Shafer advised him that the Law
specifying q distinctive color fol
those volumes which are to be kept
by the state is mandatory and thai
the secretary Of state is without au
thority to accept them unless they
comply with the law.

Results Tell Tale


In the other game, National
league contest, two of the pennant
contenderS we're in action. The home
team started the game with the star of
the staff doing the hurting.
The visiting club made two runs, in
the first inning, but were blanked in
the next six sessions. Going into the
last of the seventh with the score 20
in favor of the visitor, the home team
with the bases filled, discovered it was
the pitchers turn at bat. He was
removed for a pinch hitter, who came
through with a single.
At the close of the inning, the home
team had made three runs and taken
the lead 3-2. The manager had play
ed proper ball by removing the pitcher,
regardless of his effectiveness, since
there was a two-run handicap to over
come.
He then substituted his next best
bet to hold the one run margin, but
he failed. Three other pitchers were
rushed into the breach in an effort to
check the opposition. Six runs re-
suited, the final result being 8-3
against the home team.
1t is easy to imagine what the
second guesserS did to the home
manager that evening, despite the
fact that he played proper base
ball. Managerial strategy is good
or bad according to the results.

with the pulleyS and another with the
light bag before putting on the gloves
and took the usual abdominal exer-
cises after boxing.
