king WINTER LANDS
IN BISMARCK AFTER
FLIGHT FROM POLE
Refuels With Prairie Snow,
Leaving Jack Frost to Tune
Up Overheated February

Roaring into Bismarck on the
shank Of q 80 mile gale, King Winter,
shortly after midnight this morning
piloted his blizzard squadron into the
northwest after q nonstop flight from
his Arctic airdrome.
Dropping his cool mechanic Jack
Frost. the Monarch Of the North Pole
refueled with snow supplies deposited
by his advance corps on the prairies
the night before and then took off for
points south and eastward.
In tho meantime. Jack Frost ~
sailed an over-heated February craft
and promptly drove the temperature
to four degrees below zero. Further
tuning will send the temperature even
lower, the United States weather bu-
reau reported after an interview with
the frigid visitor.
Following a 10 day visit Of Old Man
Sunshine and his balmy assistants
the Chinooks, the unexpected visitors
from the Aurora Borealis took warm
minded Bismarck by surprise.
The Pas. Manitoba, continues to
hold the deepest interest for King
Winter, q temperature Of 80 degrees
below zero being refrigerated at that
point. Williston received the chilliest
hello in the United States, the tenn
perature sinking to 10 below.
In the wake Of King Winters sec
ond hop Of 1880 is clear and colder
weather. Snow flurries and q severe
cold wave are predicted for points
further south.
Light rain aad wet snow cushioned
the Rocky Mountain region for the
Arctic patrol. Temperatures general
~ stood below the freezing point In
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana. Ne
braska and Kansas.
Fargo was warmest in North Dako-
ia with IL above but was feeling the
pinch Of Jack Frost,s icicle pliers.

Will Take Up Passengers.
Want Too Much
For Airport Site

Acquisition of site for a municipal
airport at Libby seems to have met
temporary obstruction. Inquiry ad-
dressed to the Conrad bank of Kali
lspell, owners of the tract desired,
brought the answer that the prop
erty was held at $1500.OO. City off
Gals and others interested in an air
port here consider the price excess
sive
The tract adjoins the city hall north
of the river and comprises IA and a
fraction acres. A few months ago the
city purchased tract of identically
the same acreage adjoining the land
that is wanted at this time and paid
$4,000 for it, procuring 1t for a dump
ground. Other land in that neighbor-
hood can be bought at $500 an acre.
Attention has been called to a pro-
vision Of Montana law which empuw-
ers cities and counties to condemn
property desired for airport purposes.
If it should become necessary for
the city to adopt such a procedure,
it would devolve upon the Judge of
the district court to appoint three
Lincoln county men as appraisers who
would place what they considered a
reasonable value on the property and
the city could acquire it at that fig
ure. If the owner is dissatisfied with
the appraisement, he would have re-
course through action in court.
