Full title to about 800 acres OF
coal land cast Of Glen Ullin was
granted The Glen lHlin Trust, a
group Of local men, by Judge H. L.
Berry in Morton county district court

A shaft has been sunk on the prop
crty and equipment and machinery

are .. o. Lee. Gilbert Peterson, Nick
Barbic, Henry Burman, E. p. Grain,

Officials of the chest again
made it clear that the Bismarck
drive is being conducted without
a cent of expense. They pointed
out that in other cities, outside

by local people, without charge.

bank has been forced to close its
doors; when the flood is over many
more will have to follow suit.
Fifty years Of progress have
been Knocked out by the rising
waters. Charity is needed, badly;
but more than charity will be re-
quircd in the Mississippi valley
this summer. Outside capital must
pour in if the whole region is not
to sink into ono of the worst slumps
in history.
"When the flood goes down.
that is the phrase on cveryonc's
lips. But the crest has not even
been reached yet; and one gets the
impression, in going through the
devastated region, that the waters,
somehow are not going to rccede. It
seems as il nature, dissatisfied with
the Mississippi valley, had under
taken to make it over completely,
turning valleys into lakes and hills
into islands, and wiping out the re-
suits of decades of slow toll.
A Contrast-Only the Red Cross
One wonders, too, what the coun-
try at large would do if it could be
made to realize the extent Of the
damage.
In Nicaragua something like a
thousand Americans faced possible
property loss. and upwards of 5000
marines and bluejackets were hurried
to the scene to protect them.
In China American lives and
property were menaccd by civil war
fare and a whole fleet, with three
regiments of marines, went there as
fast as they could be sent.
But here. in the heart Of the con-
tincnt. more than $4,000 people have
lost their homes and every bit of
property they own. They are hud-
died in refugee camps, where the
restilence and famine brought By
the Four Horscmen are stalking in
broad daylight. And the Red. Cross
is the only national organization on
duty.
Freak Weather
The worst of the story has not
been told. The Missouri river is

People Elsewhere Do Not
Grasp Extent Of Devasta-
ton in River Valley
(BY BRUCE CATION

"a Memphis, Tenn, April %. -tNEA)
= and | looked and behold
a Pale Horse; and his name that sat
on him was Death :"
The Mississippi valley region to-
day is one vast valley of dcsolation.
Beneath the soddcn rain clouds
that "A driving wind whips low over
the great waste of waters, over
$4,000 people are homeless and one
who is so minded can hear the
ghostly hoof-beats of three Of the
Four Horscmcn of legend, riding on
a mission of famine, pestilence and
death down IA thousand mile pathway
that cuts through the heart Of the
continent.
For mile on uncounted mile the
horizon has dissolved in "a gray
waste Of water. The Mississippi
has become an ocean; it's tributaries
nave burst their bonds, and towns,
villages, plantations and homcsteads
are dissolvng before their waves by
wholesale.
a Great Disaster
The rest of the country does not
grasp the extent of the food's
devastation and the imperative need
for real relief work.
1t does not realize that southern
tinaneiers estimate it will take at
least five years for the south to re-
.over from this blow; that the flood
probably will be the greatest in
history; that the reconstruction
problem the valley will face when
the flood subsidies and bear in mind
that the waters have no. Yet reached
their crest will be us serious as
anything the south has faced since
the rec constitution days following the
Civil War Dire poverty for several
years faces thousands who have lost
everything in the swirling flood
waters.
Fully 100000 acres are under
water today. The property damage
probably will be at least $lOO. 1000. 900.
The death toll Of storms and floods
already is close to $50.
Five states lie directly in the path
Of the ghostly riders Of dcsolation.
The Mississippi and its tributaries
have inundated western Kentucky,
southeastern Missouri. the eastern
half OF Arkansas, western Tennessee
and western Mississippi.
On Wild Rampage
In most Of these states the
Hooded area extends % miles in
land for the full length of the Mis-
sissippi. In Arkansas strip Of SO
square. miles known as the St. Fran
els basin is under water.
The Mississippi in its wild rise
has abandoned it's old channel, in
many places. and is ruthlessly
cutting out Il new one, miles re-
moved. 1t is making islands of
whole cities. II is cutting some
towns in half. 1t is transferring
farms and plantations from one state
to another.
Lands prepared for spring planting
are under water Thousands Of
farms will be totally unproductiyc
this year and next. A huge section
! Of the south will have to live on
credit for many, many months--pos.

Credit BADLY Needed
But the credit machinery too is
being swept away on the raging
flood tides. carried downstream with
the more tangible assets like barns
and houses and corn cribs. The bad

CLEANUP PLANS
ARE DISCUSSED
Lions Committee Works Out
Final Details of Project
Scouts to Cooperate

Final plans for Bismarck's an.
nual Cleanup" Week. sponsored
by the Lions club. were made last
night at meeting Of cleanup
committee members at the Associ-
alton of Commerce rooms.
Prizes to be given the squadrons
of Boy Scouts who do the most
efficient work in eanvassing the
city were decided on, and the
committee discussed the possibil-
ity Of awarding some individual
prizes to the most efficient work
crs.
The city has been divided into
IL districts, which are to be can
vassed by the scouts. The boys
will first 60 out Monday of next
week. to determine where there are
rubbish piles and unsightly spots
and will give home owners at such
spots cards urging them to clean
them up. The latter part of the
week another tour will be made tc
see how many Of these places
have been cleaned up.
To Put Up Map
A map Of the city is to be
placed in prominent window in
some downtown store and red pins
will be placed in it to show the
location of rubbish heaps. When
these are cleaned up, white pins
will be put in place Of the red
pins.
In case some home-Owners re-
fuse to clean up their yards or do
not attend to it, the city commits
sion is to be notified. and will
take steps to see that the work is
done.
The two scout troops are to
meet tomorrow night to be as
signed the districts they will can
vass. The divisions of the city
are made so that there are approx
imately 16 blocks in each one. To
each division, the plan is to as
sign four scouts, or one for eacn
four blocks. Members of the com.
mittee will give final instructions
to the boys at this time.
The committee, at its meeting
last night, also decided to appea
to the other service clubs for aio
in seeing that the downtown dis.
trict is cleaned up. While the
majority Of business places dis
pose properly of their rubbish
some of them do not, they say
The clubs will be asked to SET
that all unsightly spots in this
district are taken care Of.

EXPLORER TO
SPEAK HERE
NEXT MONTH
Amundscn, South Pole Dis
ccverer, Will Tell of Flight
Over North Pole

Incidents Of the historic trip on
which he and his companions flew
over the North Pole will be told
by Captain Roald AmunIsen,
famed Arctic explorer, when he
speaks here May IL. He is APP
pearing under the auspices Of the
Association Of Commerce.
Now 80 years old. Amundsen
has announced that he is through
with exploration work and he is
making speaking tour Of the
United States, telling four Of the
and showing motion pictures OF
the Arctic regions. He has already
spoken before enthusiastic audi
ences at Fargo. Grand Forks and
Minot.
New interest will be added to
his appearance here May IL, for
that marks the day to a year that
Amundsen started on his epochal
flight over the pole in the dirig-
ible Norge.
Has Adventurous Life
Amundsen's life has been
fraught with adventure since he
abandoned his books and study for
a medical profession at the age of
10, and went to sea in Nor
wcgian whaler Included among
the outstanding achievements Of
his life is the discovery of the
south pole, where he planted the
Norwegian flag December IA, 1911.
After running spectacular
race with four other expeditions
representing as many nations.
Amundsen arrived at the pole just
81 days before the Inflated expe-
dition of the British Antarctic
party, headed by Captain h. F.
Scott, reached there.
An expedition headed by
Amundsen was the first to make
the sail through the Northwes,
passage. Starting in 1903, the
explorer piloted his craft to King
William Land. about midway be-
tween the Arctic and Atlantic
oceans. At King William Land
his vessel was frozen in for two
years, but in July, 1906, it freed
itself and one month later reached
Boring Strait and the Pacific.

the frcakest weather in history
Torrential rains, as great as II
inches in 10 hours, have increased
the flood menace. One is reminded
of the biblical torrents that fell
for 40 days and 10 nights. Tn,
skies have remained leaden, day
after day. In other parts of the
country there are cyclones and
tornadoes with premature "hea'
waves" quickly followed by almost
zero temperatures.

set type for which the telephone com
panY charges an extra tariff of sc
cents month.
incidentally, the company has beer
charging this tariff for some months
without the sanction of the commits
sion. but steps have been taken tc
have it approved.
A conference will be held shortly
between Ralph b. Fleharty, peoples
counsel before the commission; Cor
poration Counsel w. w. Bride, anC
Dozier A. Devane, general counsel foi
the company, to determine whether g
public hearing is necessary before
authorizing the tariff.
The company added the 50.cent

because the European sets cost s.
more than the type in general use
and also because the new receivers
are not yet subject to quantity pro
duction and restriction of their use
was desired.
The board Of directors of the Chesa
