INDICT N ENT
OF SPRAGUE
TO BE ASKED
Evidence Against Missing
Grafton Banker to Be
Presented to Grand Jury

Fargo, N. D.. Aug. 3l.-Thc federal
grand jury. which will convene in
Fargo Friday, Sept. IL, will be asked
to indict Manville II. Sprague, miss
ing cashier of the closed First Ma
tional bank Of Grafton, N. D., on
charges of violating the national
banking act. Seth w. Richardson,
United States attorney, announced
Tuesday.
The missing cashier. who has been
absent from his home since May Z,
this year, is accused in two warrants
issued by the United States depart
ment Of justice. of the crimes of
making false entries on the books
of the bank and Of making false re-
ports Of the condition Of the bank.
Mr.. Sprague disappeared from
Grafton on Saturday, May Z, and was
seen that day in Grand Forks, but
from that point no trace has been
found of him. His disappearance
caused a furore in Grafton. as he was
a man in whom the community placed
great confidence.
The search for him was begun by
the department of justice by reason
Of conditions found in the bank,
closed subsequent to Sprague's dis
appearance.
The case against Sprague will be
among about so criminal actions to
be brought before the grand jury,
according to Mr.. Richardson. The
majority Of the cases include charges
Of smuggling aliens and liquor across
the Canadian border into the United
States. Other cases include viola
tions of the motor vehicle theft act,
introducing liquor on Indian reser-
vations and violations Of the postal
regulations.

MUST PUBLISH
FUND REPORTS
CustOdians of Public Money
Must Put Statements
in Newspapers

Recent action by the state bonding
department in asking newspapers of
the state to cooperate in seeing that
all custodians Of public funds obey
the law requiring them to publish
their reports, is expected here to re-
suit in an increase in business for
North Dakota publications this fall.
Under the law school and county
trcasurers and other custodians of
public money are required to publish
reports between the first and tenth
OF January, May and September of
each year, showing the funds on hand
and the bank or place in which they
are deposited. A recent check by the
bonding department, however, showed
that the law is generally being ig-
nored, according to Harold Hepton,
manager.
Helps Reduce Losses
Hopton wants it observed since it
is an important factor in reducing
losses to the bonding department,
most of which have resulted from the
errors or defalcati0ns of trcasurers
in minor political subdivisions such
as townships and school districts.
Publication OF the reports will
give his department and the public
an easy method Of checking on the
fact Of whether banks having such
money have posted proper bond for
it's protection. Hopton said. In many
instances, he explained. treasur-
ers feel that the bond issued by the
state department covering their ac-
tions is sufficient protection for the
political subdivision in case the bank
fails.
Many treasurers are not aware of
the law. Hopton said, and he has
asked the cooperation Of the news
papers In educating them. He ex-
poets the newspapers to show enthus-
iasm as teachers in view Of the fact
that the statements would be pub
lished at the usual rate for legal
advertisements and the publication
is not limited to official county
newspapers.
The response to circular letters
sent to all treasurers. to county au-
ditors and treasurers and county
school spuerintendents has been good,
Hopton said. and he Il hopeful that
September will see Thousands Of them
published.

n. D. HIGHWAY
BOARD SPEEDS
IMPROVEMENTS
Grading and Crawling Being
Done as Quickly as Money,
Time Permit

When the present construction
season ends about one half Of the
state highway system will have been
earth graded and one fourth Of the
$500 miles will be gravel surfaced,
data compiled by the state highway
denartment shows.
On August 18th 3,O29 miles of state
roads had been earth graded and Of
this mileage l,464 miles were gravel
surfaced. On the same date there
was under construction 845 miles Of
earth grading Of which 441 miles wigs
already 80 per cent complete and
should be added to the completed
state highway system within a short
period. Likewise, 455 miles of state
roads already graded are under
gravel construction of which 1913
miles is about - per cent finished.
Thus. when the work now in hand
is finished there will be 1878 miles
of earth graded state highways and
of these, 1919 miles will have gravel
surfacing. The spread between the
number of miles earth graded and
gravel roads points the need for eni-
phasizing the desirability of push ing
the gravel surfacing of our high
ways, the statement said. When fed
cral aid is extended for the construc-
tion of any road the agreement with
the government calls for gravel sur
facing as soon as funds are available.
Earth roads, while a vast i'm
provcment to our highway system
and useful for major portion Of the
year, nevertheless are not all-weath-
er or all year round highways as is
the case with graveled highways"
the statement said. Besides earth
roads must be re-shaped periodically,
otherwise they deteriorate rapidly.
As this throws heavy maintenance
expense on the state highway depart
ment, it is economy to gravel surface
as speedily as possible both from the
angle Of public finance and the fullest
use of the State Highway System by
the travelling public. OF course, there
is much to be said for earth grading
our state roads entirely first and
then gravel surfacing them all later.
"Local communities which have a
paper highway road appear before
boards Of county commissioners and
the State Highway Commission t.
urge the early Improvement Of their
part of the State Highway System
rather than gravel surface that por-
of the county. Their cry is, Give US
as good road as the other fellows
have and we'll be satisfied
"One can sympathize, with their
aspirations and yet, to neglect the
proper safeguard of the road already
built is poor business. The solution
for the increasing demand for more
and better roads, in our judgment. is
not to construct them partially, but
rather to accelerate the speed Of con-
sruction and finish up the entire
state highway system as quickly as
possible" N

GOVERNOR ASKS
WEED CUTTING
Tells Highway Department to
See This Is Bone on All
State Roads

Direction that weeds along all
roads maintained by the state be
cut before they 60 to seed has been
issued by Governor A. G. Sorlic in
"a letter to, H. c. Frahms chief en-
gineer Of the highway commission.
1t is useless for farmers to make
an effort to keen their fields free OF
weeds il the state permits weeds to
grow up and 60 to seed along the
roads, the executive pointed out.
The law already provides that
township road overseers shall cut
and destroy all weeds and grasses on
all graded public highways once be-
tween July and Is and again be-
tween October / and Is. The weeds
must be cut for the entire width Of
the roadway.
Sorlie said his idea is to apply the
same principle to the maintenance of
state highways although there is no
similar Legislative direction cover
- 80 sSoSld Hslp Farmers
I'VE should follow . like practice,
especially in the eradication Of weeds,
and more particularly noxious weeds,
the governor said. Farmers are
endsayorine to keep their fields clean
and the state highway department,
BY keeping its r6sdways clear Of
weeds. will Be lending : helping hand
to the farmers.
4Accordingly will you please issue
instructions TO your patrolimen TO cut
the weeds for the entire width Of the
roadway and to do this before the
weeds 20 to seed know that the
weeds havs been cut on acme road-
