An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington, D. c., Monday said that
Lieut.. Col. Wallace Mcnamara, COM
mander at Fort Lincoln here, has
been instructed to prepare fol-
evacuation of the local post by the
end Of the fiscal year, June 30.

cut expenditures"
War department officials in Wash
ington said they did not know when
the actual troop removal would oc-
cur and officers at the fort had nc
information on the subject.
The Army and Navy Journal, week
ly publication for the U. s. army and
navy, carried the following article in
its issue of Nov. 81:
To Abandon Four Posts
-Four additional army posts will
be abandoned next spring under in
structions for movement of troops
which have been received by corps
area commanders. The posts to be
abandoned are Fort D. A. Russell
Maria, Tex: Fort Lincoln, North Da-
kota; Camp Harry ]. Jones and
Camp Stephen D. Little, both in
Arizona.
According to word received here
the troop movement is to take place
between May and June 80, 1882, as
follows:
Third Battalion, Fourth Infantry
Fort Lincoln, N. D., to jefferson Bar
racks, Mo.
First Cavalry from Fort D. A
Russell, Texas, to Camp Knox, Ken
lucky, for reorganization as . mech
anized cavalry regiment. Second
pack train from Fort D. A.. Russell
Texas, to Fort Bliss, Texas.
"The 25th Infantry, less the Third
Battalion. will be moved from Camp
Harry j. Jones and Stephen D. Lit
tie, Arizona, to Fort Huachucka
Arizona.
Government Owns Property
Camp Harry j. Jones and Camp
Stephen D. Little are leased property
and it is likely that the leases will be
terminated and the land revert to
owners uses. Fort Russell and Fort
Lincoln, however, are government
owned. What will be done with them
has not been announced.
1T IS probable that they will be-
come either prison camps a narcotic
farms and that legislation will be In
troduced In the coming congress tc
transfer their titles to other govern
ment departments.
Evacuation of Fort Lincoln was
first mentioned early last summer
when the war department decided to
slash army expenditures.
At that time Bismarck and North
Dakota began campaign in an ef-
fort to keep the troops here.

SYREE7ER YOUTH
FROZEN TO DEATH
ON STU7SNlAN ROAD
23.Year.0Id Man Is 0vertaken
BY Death on Walk Home
From Gackle

Jamestown, N. p, Nov. 23-tA,-
Death from exposure was the verdict
OF Stutsman County Coroner H. A.
Brastrup who conducted an investiga-
ton into the death of Arthur Rivin-
ius, 23-year -old Streeter youth whose
body was found on the Streeter-
Gackle highway Saturday morning.
Rivinius was the first victim OF
freezing In North Dakota this season
He had attended q dance at Gackle
Friday night and, as he had often
done before, began the trudge home
ward. A stiff northwest wind was
blowing and 1t was showing.
He had driven to the dance with
three other youths, Lawrence Deutsch-
Ter, Edward Burns and Lowell Reeser
They stayed at the dance until mid
night when Rivinius escorted Miss
Emma Geigle, II, and Miss Luella
Hagle, IA, both Of Gackle, to the home
of Miss Hagle. He stopped few
minutes to talk with Mrs. Hagle and
then said II he did not find the other
young men he would walk home. He
told them he had walked home many
times.
The three young men, unable to
find Rivinius, decided that he had
either gone home or decided to stay
at Gackle, so they started homeward
They had trouble with their automo-
bile and returned to Gackle instead
where they stayed overnight with
friends.
A farmer discovered the body less
than mile from Streeter Saturday
morning. The position of his body
when found on the highway indicated
the youth must have been walking
backward. AS the wind was blowing
from the direction In which he was
travelling, it is believed he did this to
protect himself from the wind and
snow as he was scantily clad for such
weather. He wore oxfords, q pair OF
rubbers, a summer cap and macki-
nav over his suit. He had no nit
tens. Officials said it would have
taken him about five and one halt
hours to reach the point where he
was found If he walked about two
miles an hour.
The youth was son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Conrad Rivinius. He was en-
ployed at Streeter pool hall, owned
by his father and Fred Perham.
Besides his parents he leaves a
number of brothers and sisters.

 "Pfannkuchen' are something like doughnuts, but without a hole and filled with jam. "Punsch" is a hot drink generally made from red wine well spiced and sugared
 But the leading item is carp Cooked in white wine or brown beer, carp appeared on nearly every dinner table It is widely believed that scales taken from carp killed on New Years eve, if put in ones pocketbook, will insure an abundance of cash throughout the year.

BY JACK PERILLA

Two years ago a small coSsack vii
'age of 100 opulation-today city
of $4,000 population with the largest
steel mill in the world. This is the
story of Magnetostroi, now Magnetic
gorsk. The completion of Magnetic
gorsk and other similar plants are
the foundation of the economic in
dependence of the Soviet Union. 1t
is the final blow to those who doubted
the ability of the workers state, with
their own resources and under their
own direction, to build a large basic
industry. During this month the
huge blast furnaces of Magnetogorsk
will begin to roar.
The steel industry of the whole
world is practically at a standstill
while in the Soviet Union new, inn
menSe plants are being built, the
likes Of which cannot be seen in any
Of the capitalist countries. Steel pro-
duction in the United States is at its
lowest ebb In years-28 per cent Of
capacity. In the Soviet Union, at
the end of 1888, steel production will
be 400 per cent of its war produc-
ton. A general campaign Of wage
cuts is being conducted in the steel
industry of the United States, but
In the Soviet Union wages are stead
lily rising.
The total pre-war production Of
pig iron in Russia was 1000, 1000 tons.
In Magnetogorsk alone during 1882
1888 100000 tons will be produced,
10 be increased to 100000 tons dur
ing the second five-year plan. CThe
U. S. Steel Corporation in Gary, In
diana, the largest in the world until
the completion of the Megnetogorsk
plant, has production capacity of
5000 900 tons) With the completion
of Magnetogorsk, Kuznets and other
steel mills in the Ukraine, during the
present fiYe-year plan, the U.S,SR.
will reach and overstep many of the
leading imperialist countries in this
basic industry. In 1929 the produc-
ton Of pig iron in Great Britain was
IT million, in France 10.45 and in
Germany 1874 million tons. In the
Urals alone, during the present five
year plan, it will reach the capacity
Of 100000 tons. The economic
foundation OF a socialist economy is
being completed.
