CITY TO CARE
FOR PARKWAYS
ON 3 STREETS
Fourth. Fifth and Sixth, Fro.
RoSser North, Selected
For Tryout

Beginning an effort to make Bis
marck the most attractive city in
the state, boulevards along 1t least
three of the city's streets will be
cared for by the city this summer,
and the cost assessed against tho
property.
This decision was reached by the
city commission last night after the
civic affairs committee of the Asso-
citation Of Commerce again present.
ed its project to the commission.
The committee is headed by G. F.
Dullam. and includes H. P. Goddard.
Henry Duemeland, n. o. Bystrom
and Ed. Cox.
Although the Association Of Com
merce had 1t first asked that the
entire paved district be included in
the project. it was decided last night
that the lateness Of the season made
it inadyisable to take on too large
an area this year, and it was sug-
gested that the plan be given a try
out this season on q small district.
Then if it proves satisfactory, the
district may be enlarged another
year.
Three Streets Selected
Boulevards along Fourth. Fifth
and Sixth streets, from Rosser
avenue northward to the state cap
itol. will be included in this years
experiment. and IN ordinance Great
ing a special assessment district to
cover those streets was given its
first reading last night.
All boulevards in the district will
be watered, moved and maintained
BY the city, and such sections as
have not as yet been improved will
be constructed by the city and then
maintained. So that the mainten-
ance will be uniform along the en-
tire street. the city will have entire
charge and property owners will not
be required to take care Of the
boulevards themselves. II certain
property owners here and there
were permitted to care for their own
boulevards, while others were main
tanned by the city, the maintenance
would not be uniform, the city COM
missioners decided, and therefore
city maintenance Of the perkways
in the district decided upon will be
compulsory.
Letters were read from Great
Falls, Mont, and Winnipeg, Canada,
where city maintenance Of boule-
wards has been in vouge for several
years, stating that the system has
proved very successful and the
property owners arc well Satisfied.

Strongholds

Canton. China, April 3.-tR>-A
Il year-old street urchin today
was credited with having saved
Canton from further bloodshed
through z communist uprising. He
informed police that the Reds were
intending to precipitate an uprising
similar to that of last December
when they seized control Of the
city, held it for = few days and
were ousted with q large loss Of
life.
Under the leadership Of the youth.
the police were shown 18 Red
strongholds. Raiding these, the
officers arrested 463 communists.
Two hundred and thirty persons,
including eight women, were ex-
ecuted. The victims died gladly, say
ing that ten more Reds would rise
up where one was shot down.
Large quantities Of communistic
literature were confiscated by the
police in the strongholds along with
grenades, arms and ammunition. Al
20 q, 900 red neckties, similar ia
those worn in the December upris-
ing by the communists, were seized.
The youth said he had learned d
the communist plans from overhear.
ing various groups Of them talking
in the streets. The Reds openly
predicted the downfall Of the gov.
ernment and threatened to use the
torch to precipitste trouble.
Tho government is uneasy and
martial law has been IN effect fol
some tins, but the loyalty Of the
troops u doubtful. The govern.
ment asserted that Russians were
active behind the scenes in prepsr-
ing for the uprising.

protested to President Harding, Sec
retaries Weeks and Hoover and At

the leasing Of the Teapot Dome oil

The witness also said he had sent
a telegram to President Harding on
April %, 1922. This, as read into
the record, protested against the
closing Of the Teapot Dome lease
without permitting his company to
bid on the lease.
Apparently there was no reply and
two days later Helms telegraphed
to George B. Christian, then secre-

further protest.

four element radio tube recently devel-
oped in the research division of the

then he has worked within cage

The signal strength of the ribe is
measured by fnilfiameter which
indicates power to one thousandth OF

an amplification of five times that
of the standard tube, but loses GER

the Wahluke landing to the hospst :
able Koppen home where they were
welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Koppen.
The bountiful lunch brought by the
ladies' was spread on long table on
the porch and the serving was done

After lunch, when the guests had all
disposed themselves comfortably
around on the lawn, Mrs. F. 3. Tay-
lor gave vivid and most enjoyable
