.|lDD WILDWOOD LAKE
/ VISION OF FIR. Stag
Member OF Board Pictures to
7 KiWanis Luncheon Eventu-
4 al Bismarck System

The vision OF the city's ultimate
park system was portrayed to the
Kiwanis club luncheon. at noon, by
Father John Stag, member OF the
Park board. He spoke and exhibited
blue prints Of the system after G. W..
Corwin had suggested that the clubs
playground for children be offered to
the Park board as part of the city
park chain.
President Worth Lumry was ready
TO put the proposal to the club for a
vote. but Mr.. Corwin preferred that
the matter should be allowed to lie
over for the present, so the members
could think it over before attempt
ing to decide on any action.
Father Stag pictured circle Of
parks around the city. some of the
tracts already acquired and some Of
them desirable He particularly men,
toned the high grounds near the
Country club, where the Indian viii
lage used to be, and the nearby In
dian battle-ground along the creek.
where the bloodiest battle in North
Dakota's history was fought many
years ago.
He also was of the opinion that a
road should be constructed from the
bluffs through Jacksons coulee down
TO the city.
There was law enacted at the last
session Of the legislature. said Father
6lag. to lift the park limit beyond
which cities we're unable to so here
tofore, which was six miles The vi
sion that Was back of that bill. he
4atd. was eventually to acquire Wild
wood lake. 80 miles north. This
would afford terminus for a very
pretty summer drive north along the
river to Wilton and the lake. while
the body Of water would afford fine
recreational opportunities for the
people Of the city. There is fine fish
! Ing. boating and bathing there he
said
However. he said, the Park board
Is f1ampered for lack of funds. It is
allowed two-mill levy and that
amounts to $4,000 on tho assessed
IvelYation, or about $4,000 actual in
sconie. 1t takes but few minutes to
appropriate that, he said. and all
these fine dreams of girdle of parks
have to be carried along for a more
proptttouS day before they can be
realized.
Four new members were given the
membership charge by Judge L. E.
Birdzell as part OF tho luncheon pro-
gram. They we're: E. N. Hedahl.

He declared that all who have

agreement.
'The educational commission, -
Trenham said, LATTER an eXhaus'
tive survey of school conditions in
all parts of the state, reached the
conclusion that the county unit plan
offers the ideal solution between
the present system and the full unit
plan.
"Under the county unit plan the
3,60l school districts now existing
in California, would he consolidated
into l64 districts. In % of the coun-
ties (one-half of the state), the
counties would be single districts
There would be eight counties with
two districts; nine with three dis
tricts; five with four districts;
three with five districts and Los
Angeles, which at present comprises
100 districts, would be consolidated
into 2l districts.
"Briefly, the plan provides thai
in any given county all school dis
tricts having less than 1900 pupil,
in average daily attendance, shal
be united into one district. A board
of five members, elected by tn,
people, would administer the af

IOWA VILLAGE
STILL ISOLATED
BY SNOWSTORMS
Crews Battle Immense
Drifts To Bring Aid
From Outside.
by United Press Leased Wire

EARLNILLE, Ia, Jan. %. - A
motor plow, aided by horse teams
and shovel crews, today attacked
the 10 foot snow barrier which for
10 days has isolated the village of
Colesburg, II miles east of here.
The rescue workers were handi-
capped by temperatures ranging
from zero to 10 degrees below as
they set out to re-establish com
lagc.
While the snow plow was working
its way through the huge drifts,
teams of men on skis worked in re-
lays transporting much needed fuel
and food to the 800 residents of the
village.
Through a single telephone line,
Colesburg s sole means of commun-
ication with the outside world, May
or w. f. Hoot told authorities at
Petersburg, Earlvillc and Cedar
Rapids that unless food and fuel
reached the village within "a hours
serious suffering would result.
Sick Are Removed
Mayor Hoot said the fuel supply
virtually was exhausted and that the
supply of food was alarmingly low.
He said all provisions had been pool
ed by the villagers and a committee
appointed to dole out rations.
He said several volunteers had
attempted to traverse the drifts to
Petersburg, nine miles south of
Colcsburg, to obtain bread and coal,
but that they were unable to pene-
trate the drifts.
Five villagers needing hospital
care were taken on stretchers across
country | miles to Grand highway
and placed aboard waiting ambu-
lances for Dubuque. Mayor Hoot
said had the transfers been delayed
one day longer it would have been
impossible because of the blizzard
over the week end.

UTAH EXPECTED
TO DECIDE SOON
ON DAM STATUS
BY United Press Leased Wire

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan.
29.-Determination of Utah to dc
something definite i'll regard to the
Boulder dam controversy, was more
pronounced today after the joint
session of the senate and house yes
terday afternoon. The Legislators
heard Ralph L. Criswell, of the de-
partment Of water and power at Los
Angeles, classify Arizona's atti'
tude as "holdup,' and they were
inclined to view with favor the pro-
posal to sign a six state compact.
Word from Arizona, however, to
the effect that Nevada s invitation
to a tri-state meeting had been ac-
cepted, was expected to be the de-
termining factor in causing this
state to postpone action for another
week or 50.
George w. Malone, Nevada repre-
sentative, and Criswell, declared
their states were waiting for Ariz-
ona to act and that they were anx-
ious to reach an agreement with
the baby state.
No Utah action is predicted be-
fore the outcome of the tri-state
conference, now planned for Las
Vegas, New, instead Of Reno, is de-
termincd.

CONTINUANCE OF
ECONOMY URGED
BY PRESIDENT I
ply United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Ad-
dressing the last scheduled business
meeting of his administration,
President Coolidge last night eX-
pressed satisfaction with his econo-
mic program, pointing out at the
same time that national prosperity
could continue only through con-
'structive economy in government.
"The margin between prosperity
Aand depression is always very
small, ~ Mr.. Coolidge said at one
>Hint "a decrease of less than 10
pefScnt in the income of the nation
would produce a deficit in our
present budget. The cost of state
and local governments is rapidly
mounting.'
He prefaced this statement by
pointing out costs of state and local
governments had increased from
$4,000, 100000 in 1921 to $7931,-
000,000 in 1927 and continued:
"This is such Il heavy drain on
the earnings of the people that it is
The greatest menace to the continu-
ance of prosperity. 1t is a warning
that should be needed by everyone
intrusted with the expenditure or
appropriation of public funds 1t is
the reason that further commit
ments by the national government
for any new projects not absolutely
necessary should be faithfully re-
sisted. "
Again, much remained to be done
despite the accomplishments of the
budget system in its eight years of
operation, Mr.. Coolidge said.
