claimed it would be impossible TO
complete it according to the plans of
the city engineer, and that il COM
pleted according TO such plans it
could not function at all. II claimed
further that it would cost at least
$4,000, in addition to all previous
cost, to complete il according to such
plans, and the contractor agreed to
proceed with the completion if the
city would garantee the expense.
Contract Cancelled
Upon recommendation Of the city
engineer, the commissioners adopted
a resolution on January 20, 1925, can
ceiling the contract and the water
works department was authorized to
finish the work of construction.
THE waterworks department COM
menced this work Of finishing the in
take on January 2s. 1928 and com
pleted it, according to the plans and
specifications OF the city engineer
prescribed for the contractor, on
February IA, 1928, at IA total cost Of
S4.24624." Young declared Ever
since February IL, 1925, it has been
in constant use and has functioned
according to the original plan and

city in completing the intake was de-
Quoted by the city engineer from the
final estimate made for the CON
tractor.
AS regards the estimate as to
the amount OF dirt excavated by the
Wo0drich Construction company, that
was an estimate only and did not pre-
tend to be anything else. 1t was
subject to such revision as was nee
essary when the amount of earth ex-
cavated actually was measured, and
the estimate made by the city en-
gineer shows the actual amount Of
the excavation.
Had the intake been completed by
the contractor, according to the

engineer, and in a workmanlike and
efficient manner, the cost of doing
the work would not have exceeded
the amount of the estimate made for
that purpose. including therein all
extra work required by the engineer"
Claim First Estimate Correct
1t is alleged that. in making his
final estimate, the city engineer
made allowance to the contractor for
all extra work done on the cost plus
basis prescribed by the contract and
that the cost of the entire water
works system was less than the
original estimate of the city en-
gineer.
As to the claim that representa-
tive OF the contractor and the city

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE

A. NJ Christianson agreed that the
cross exam nation was improper and
in error but held that it was not
preiudicia to the defense. Chris
tianson held that any open inded
jury would not have been swayed by
the alleged attempt by the prosecu-
ton to discredit W F.. Cook, Harvey,
the defense witness, by innuepdo.
The case grew out of an alleged
assault upon the Phillips girl fol-
lowing her return home from an au-
tomobile ride late at night. She was
found lying unconscious in the yard
of her foster-m home and
later charged that her mother had
assaulted her. Mrs. Phillips denied
the charge. The case aroused great
interest in Wells county where the
Phillipscs lived. 1t was transferred
to Foster county on change Of
venue.

sha, capital Of the province Of HUI
nan. in southern China. A wireless
dispatch from that place today said
the strike and boycott went into eff
feet at noon Monday, and reported
that the American consul has gone
aboard the United States gunboat
palos. on the Slang river, preparatory
to leaving Changsha. The whole
province of Human will be evacuated
by foreigners shortly because of la
Dor and anti-foreign manifestations.
kiukiang, on the Yangtze river in
kiangsi province, reported a general
strike against all foreigners has been
called to begin at noon today; while
at Hankow, headquarters Of the Can
tonese. or nationalist government, all
business was virtually at a standstill.
Situation Grows Worse
While the state of affairs south of
the Yangtze river caused by the anti
foreign agitation appears to be grow
ing steadily worse. the civil war sit
uation north Of the great river is
becoming more precarious as the
Cantonese armies progress further
toward the northern capital, Picking.
For the moment the detectives of the
Cantonese are Tsinanfu, capital of
Shantung, and Tientsn, strategic
railway center of the north.
Marshal Chang Tso- Lin, the north
ern war chief, it is felt here, can
hold Picking only so long as he is able
to retain possession Of Tientsin, for
that railway center provides the only
means of communication with the
Manchuran base of the northern
forces.
Americans and Britishers in the
territory through which it is expected
the Cantonese now will make their
way are hastily seeking points Of
safety. fearing repetition of the out
breaks which followed the Canton
csc victories in the Yangtze valley.

The tree that furnishes the pith
wherefrom rice paper is naue

Among the many uses to which IT IS
put may be mentioned that of the ma

color drawings; and sometimes they
dye it in various colors for use in the
manufacture of artificial flowers.
The pith workers employ the sim

The blade of this knife is about
foot long. two inches broad and
nearly half an inch thick at the back

pith on the stone and his left hand

VIVID ALPINE FLOWERS.

and the plains. Moreover, there is
less invisible water vapor above the
ground in the high regions than in
low regions. Plants on the noun
tains receive more light than plants
on the plains. In the Arctic regions
the difference in the intensity of light
is notable. In Summer the sun is
visible nearly all day.
Plants are in continuous light, and
the light is received in a much great
er quantity than in the lower lati-
tudes. The measurements taken with
the actinometer make it seem prob
able that the excess OF vivid floral
coloring is due to the sun, which.
acting more intensely and for n longer
time on the fiora of the heights, pro.
duces greater development of the
green cofOring of the leaves of plants
and the grass Of the fields. and the
various colors OF the flowers.
In an experiment made to show the
cause of celor intensity plants We're
carried abruptly from the plains to
high Alpine regions and other heights.
Most OF the transported plants ac-
uuircd a deeper coloriug than any
flower Of the plains. Similar expert
mcnts made with plants taken from
the plains of France to Scandinavia
gave the same results. The change
could not be attributed to the selec-
tion Of the flower seeds Of successive
generations, but as the experiments
made did not give sufficient proof that
persistent and intense light is suf-
ficient to produce brilliant floral color
other plants Of the same kind were
placed in the great market OF Paris
for experimental purposes. Some OF
them were given specially filtered
electric light by day and night: others
We're given light compare BILE with the
solar light received by the Alps. AS
the leaves of the plants developed
the plants receiving continuous light
formed more intense green pigment.
and the flowers were of much more
vivid color than when the plants
were grown IN ordinary light.
