some sheep and the county. with only
2 per cent Of the total area Of the

BRIDGE OF PONTOONS
Will Lose ITS JOB
Novel Structure Over Red River
to Be Replaced by Mod
ern Substitute

Grafton. N. D.. Jan 22.-R- Con
struction Of q new bridge across the
Red river east of here will retire
from active service what Is claimed ia
be the only pontoon bridge in North
Dakota.
Pontoon bridges usually are consid-
cred only in connection with army
maneuvers, but this one has q lone
and honorable history as q peace time
structure.
It consists of a series of barzea
which support . narrow roadway and
was first located ct DFayton. When
Drayton obtained q bridge the pom
toons were moved to Pembina. Then
Pembina got bridge and the pom
toons were moved to Grafton, where
1t has been in active service since the
Pembina bridge was built.
The pontoons have. Of course, been
useless when the river Is filled with
flowing Ice and some difficulty in US
ing the bridge has been encountered
because OF varying water levels. Re-
pairs on the bridge have cost about
500 year. since It Is necessary to
keep the pontoons, in repair and to
pump them out occasionally.

Mp. AWARDS FOLEYS
COLSTRIP CONTRACT
st. Paul Contractors to Con.
tinus Mining Coal From
Montana Strippings

Forsyth, Mont. Jan. 22.-Foley
Brothers, Inc, Of st. Paul have been
awarded . new contract TO continue
mining operations ct Colstrip for the
Northwestern Improvement company,
= subsidiary Of the Northern Pacific
railway. according TO word received
here. The new contract calls for the
mining Of $1,000 900 cubic yards OF
coal, which It Is estimated viii take
from nine TO ten years.
Foley Brothers began operations ct
Colstrip under . five-year contract in
1924, producing approximately 1000 to
ASSOC tons Of coal per day, but for the
past few months, due to an increased
demand for coal. the daily output has
been about 1000 tons.
It II possible that . new pit will
Be opened Ut Oolstrip In the spring
In which case the present output
will be almost double. About IS men
are required 20 work each day 1t the
mine, being divided into two ten
hour shifts. The newest improved
electrical strip mining machinery IL
used 1t Colstrip, making It possible to
get out . big tonnage with very few
men.

BANK LEGISLATION
JOB FOR COMMISSION
Tendency Is to Leave Revision
to Body to Be Appointed by
Governor Under Bill

With the exception OF the bill to
appoint commission to revise the
state banking laws. 1t looks as though
banking legislation will be scarce al
this session Of the Legislature.
Among many legislative leaders the
tendency has been to discourage any
further tampering with the banking
laws and to await the recommended
tons Of the commission to be appoint
ed by the governor to work during
the interim between the 1929 session
and the session Of 1891.
The thought Is based on the belief
that the present banking laws will
serve we'll enough for another two
years and that 1t would be useless to
attempt any further patching until
the whole situation Is revived by the
proposed commission and recommend
ations presented to the legislature for
q complete revision Of the banking
code.
Passage Of the bill to create the
commission is regarded as q surety,
Governor George r. 6hafer asked for
It In his inaugural message and no
one seems disposed to oppose It. The
bill was introduced with joint In
dependent ana Nonpartisan support.

The first shipment Of trees, after

Senator Fowler, one Of the authors
OF the measure, said here today.
A dormitory built at . cost of
$165,0O0 would house 200 students
1t rate of 50 per week for 36 weeks
would contribute a total of $21, 600.

The Hamilton-F Fowler bill author
ICES "the organization of non-profit
sharing institutional holding associa-
tions to erect, operate, equip and
maintain dormitories upon or in the
vicinity Of the campus Of state edu-
cational institutions. It incorpor-
ates features to meet objections held
by the supreme court in declaring
similar act of the last session un-
constitutional.
It limits the number of dormitories
to be constructed on each campus to
one and Itates that each dormitory
shall not cost in excess of 5000 900.
Il further states that the payment Of
loans or debt shall not extend over
. period Of more than so years.
The 1927 measure stated that the
income Of present dormitories on the
campus would be pledged to help pay
for the new dormitories. This was
held unconstitutional by the supreme
court and this feature is not in
corporated in the present bill.
Upon completion of payment for
such a c~-mitory by the holding
association, the building becomes the
property Of the state, the bill pro-
vides. 1t has already passed the

STATE FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION said TO
HAVE MADE 12P c.
Farm Loan Department Returns
It's First Profit, Which IS
Buried in Previous Deficit
BOND PAY FUND sHRIHks
Decline in Rat6s OF Interest
and None on Foreclosed
Tracts Is Blamed

Profits OF s34O,476.Ol were rea-
lied by the Bank Of North Dakota
during the year ending last Septem-
Der 30, according to the audit report
Of O. B. Lund, recently completed.
This, Lund says, represents earnings
OF II per cent on the banks capital
Of $2,O0O,00O. After deducting 5
per cent interest paid on the bonds
floated to provide capital for the
bank there is a net profit Of 12 per
cent. This showing, Lund said, is
the same as the showing made by
the bank last year.
In addition, Lund states, the farm
loan department Of the bank showed
a profit for the first time in its his
tory. From the opening Of the bank
until the present, this department
showed deficit because of the fact
that insufficient funds we're avail
able to meet the cost Of administra-
ton. During the last audit year,
however, the department rolled up .
profit of sal ,4O8.09. This will be ap-
plied on the deficit Of former years,
reducing it to $135, 029.03. The de-
ficit reached a peak Of $236, 437.12
last year.
Lund comments that "the farm
loan section now seems to have
reached the point where the earnings
will meet the operating expenses and
leave q balance that eventually will
take up the previous losses OF the
department"
This years profit Of the farm loan
department is not included in the
profit statement Of the banks earn
ings since It was applied on the farm
loan department deficit.
In addition to the showing of the
bank Is reflected by its books. Lund
points out that nothing II allowed
for the increased value Of govern
ment securities owned BY the bank,
which are carried 1t the purchase
price, although they could be sold
ut = profit. The bond market has
dropped some during the last year
and this profit would not be a. large
as if they had been sold at the end
of the last audit period, he says. He
comments, however, that they are
still well above the book value.
Of the 668 tracts Of land taken
over by the bank on foreclosures Of
, farm loan mortgages, 112 have been
sold, the statement shows. Lund e..
Inmates that the bank will take no
loss on the tracts sold, II purchasers
meet their contracts.
A shrinkage Of nearly $780, 900
during the last year is noted in the
real estate bond payment fund. Lund
explains that "this is due to the
large amount of loans that have
been forcclosed and are not produce
ing interest income, and to not re-
ceiving as high an interest rate on
the cash In the real estate bond pay
ment fund AZ the bonds supplying
money draw"
The profit and loss Of the bank, Is
determined by Lund, was reached
after dcducting all estimated losses
which the bank will be required to
AXE from deposits and loans to
.losed banks.
