MANDAN MAY
HAVE GAS BY
JULY FIRST
Work Progressing Rapidly on
Pipe Line-New Equipment
Now Being Installed

Possibility that gas will be avail
able for Mandan users by July was
advanced today by Senator Frank
Ployhar. Valley City, president Of
the Consolidated Utilities company
which is now installing pipe line
to Mandan and making plant i'm
prOvements here at IA total estimated
cost Of $l25,O00.
The four-inch pipe to be used f.>
transmission of gas is ready for in
stallation and has been placed along
the pavement between here and Man
dan. :. Il
Digging Machines TO- Start
Digging machines which will make
a threef anf one half foot trench for
the pipesf Are expected to start work
within a very fews days, according
to Senator Ployhar. One of these
machines will work from the city to
the Memorial bridge and the other
from the west side of the bridge to
Mandan. Hangers are now being in
stalled on the bridge, to carry the
pipe across the river.
Four high pressure tanks. with a
total capacity Of 10000 cubic feet,
are being installed at the plant here
and also will be connected with the
Bismarck holder, furnishing added
capacity for both cities. A l5O-
horsepower boiler has already been
installed here, as have additional
storage tanks.
Duplicate equipment will likely be
completely installed in the plant by
July !, Ployhar said, explaining that
this machinery will BE- ready for use
at any time in case trouble is ex-
ment.
The pipe to be laid to Mandan is
of fOur-inch size and gas will be
forced through under 80 pounds
pressure. Present plans are to in
stall governor house at Mandan,
where the gas will go out under low
pressure over eight-inch trunk
mains. Feeder mains will be mainly
four-inch pipes.

ICE GOES OUT
OF MISSOURI
MONDAY P. M.
River Stage Rises Only Ono
FO0t-NO Danger Of Floods
Channel Clear Today

Without any of the usual "fire-
works attending the annual break
up of the Missouri river, the ice
went out Of the river here Monday,
and today the channel is practically
clear of ice. The rivers winter
coat became so honeycombed before
1t finally began to move down stream
that il broke up into small pieces and
there was no cause for excitement
whatever.
The river stage Sunday, according
to the weather bureau, was 65 feet.
Yesterday it had risen to 7.3 feet
and today registered rs feet. so that
the going out Of the ice was accom-
panied by rise of only one foot in
the water level. The river must
reach Is feet before it is considered
at flood stage, SO that there is hardly
u chance Of there being any floods
on the lowlands this year. weather
bureau officials state.
Going out Of the ice this year is
three days ahead Of the all-time aver.
age date. although it is a week later
than the date of last years breakup.
The average date for the river break.
up is April !. but last year the ice
went out with rush on March 81,
causing an excessive high water stage
and much excitement.

AUTO REGISTRAR PLANS TO PUT new
CERTIFICATE OF TITLE ACT in FORCE
AS SOON AS ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE
New Law Carries Emergency
Clause Making 1t Effective
30 Days After 1t Was
Signed BY GOvernOr-Aut0
Owners Must Obtain Ger
tificates of Ownership

Preparations arc being made here
by Fred i. Ingstad, state registrar
OF automobiles. to put into effect 'he
new certificate of title act passed by
the last legislature.
Until last week the fact that the
new law carried an emergency
clause, which makes it effective go
days after its signature by the gov
ernor had been overlooked by of
ficials charged with it's enforcement.
lngstad has scheduled IL conference
with Attorney General George Sha-
fer at which preparations will be
made tosput the new law. into effect
rs quickly as possible. Ingstad is
not optimistic that he will be able
to go to work on it as soon as the
law requires.
Provisions of New Law
The law provides that every auto
mobile owner must obtain from the
state registrar certificate showing
that he is the legal owner of the
motor car. Every such certificate
will be registered and transfer
must be made on the registrars
books before sale of an autom Mobile
already registered will be legal. The
law also provides that a certificate
sh howing the machine has been Ii
censcd shall be carried in the driv-
er's compartment of every motor We
hicle.
His first task, Ingstad said, will
be to prepare blank forms which will
be sent to every motor vehicle own
cr listed on the states books. Suffi-
cient time will be allowed everyone
in which to make application for a
certificate of title before the penal
ties provided in the act are made
effective, he said. The forms to be
used will be adapted from those in
use in other states where similar
laws already are effective. He has
asked registrars in other states to
send samples Of their blanks in
order that. he may have them as 4
guide in drawing up the North Da-
kota forms, Ingstad said.
Penalties Arc Severe
Penalties provided by law are very
severe, running as high as fine Of
from 500 to $500 and from six
months in jail to two years in the
penitentiary or both the maximum
fine and imprisonment.
The purpose Of the bill is to pre-
vent the theft of automobiles by
making it practically impossible for
thieves to dispose of stolen machines
without detection. Provision is
made for licensing dealers in Sec
ond-hand cars and for revoking such
licenses for cause.
1ngstad expects the 81 fee which
will be charged for registering Ii
censes to produce approximately
100000 in revenue this year From
this will be deducted the cost of
issuing the certificates and the re-
mainder will 60 to the state general
fund. The estimate is based on the
anticipation that 10000 automobiles
will be registered this year and that
10000 of these will be transferred
from one owner to another. The 81
charge will be made for transfers of
title as well as for new certificates,
the law requiring that change in
the certificate of title must be made
before motor car sale will be legal.

Washington. March 29--LP)-Amer-
lean forces in China will not be
merged with the forces of other
great powers.
President Coolidge considers the
United States has its own comm ander +
in the field, with an establishmen mt
under his direction, so that indepen nd
ence of action on the part OF the
American military troops can be
maintained. Nevertheless, the presi-
dent feels that the American forces
will cooperate with the troops of
other powers. especially since reports
have indicated that American refu-
gees are scattered throughout the
foreign concessionary area, particu.
larly at Shanghai.
In case an emergency arises, the
president understands that the
French concession, in particular, is
compact enough to lend itself to the
best defense, but the American Of
ficer in chief command will have
discretion to act upon his independ-
ent judgment Of what the require
ments are.

MINE WORKERS
TRY TO AVERT
COAL CRISIS
WalkOdts Threatened in ILL.
nois. Indiana and Ohio
Work Toward Arbitration !.

indianapolis, Ind, March 29-GP-
The United Mine Workers have gone
so far as to authorize separate wage
agreements between mining COM
panies in the central competitive
field and their unionized employees
after March 81 when the prese mt
contract expires, in an effort to
avert general suspension in. the
bituminou coal industry ApriE l..
This policy was decided upon yester-
day at meeting of the policy COM
mittee of the mine workers.
Two resolutions adopted provided
that districts in the central field may
enter into district wage agreements
based upon existing agreements and
also that these districts may permit
any operator to operate after March
81 on temporary extension of the
present contract pending negotiation
Of basic scale for the whole field.
A third resolution provided for the
keeping of maintenance men in the
mines in event Of strike on the
condition that existing wages be paid.
WalkOut Looms in 3 States
However, it was believed walk
out in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio was
probable in view Of the determined
stands taken. by operators Of those
states for competitive wage scale
which would enable them to compete
more favorably with non-union mines
in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and
West Virginia.
The central field employs 100000
miners while the annual output is
approximately 168,OOO,OOO tons. A
total of $4,000 men are employed in
the entire unionized industry.
If more or less general suspen-
sion does not follow in the central
field it was not expected that an
: acute coal shortage would result.
