organize not only a building project but school as well. We taught school for thirty days, with class of between 25 and 40 workme]l showing them American methodist believe this expedited the job at least 50 per cent. Not only the methods. but the tools in many instances were unbelievably antiquated. largely due to the fact, perhaps, that there is little frame construction in France. The handsaws, for. instance, were of the old "buck saw" type, such as is found on the family ewoodpile only In this country. Thus, it required two workmen to saw a 2x4 joist, one on each end of the saw. The hammers had no claws for nail pulling. If a nail was to be pulled, crow bar was used, or large pincers. MT. Meissner promptly cabled for saws and ham, mers. f
 "One thing that amazed them was our method of framing, assembling an entire wall on the ground, raising it and bracing it until the connecting timbers can be put up. Their fram- ing is all done piece meal, one tim[ Der at time, and the bracing of the work is something entirely for eign to their procedure. As result. a heavy wind storm during a frame  building operation is likely to level the entire job as was the case with two of the units of the BeauX Arts building while we were there."
 If our lumber had not been cut to specification in this country" Mir. Meissner declared. the job would have taken three times as long. As it was we had to send back here for tools, particularly hammers and saws
 We found the French workman about 40 per cent as productive as the American workman, largely due to his obsolete tools and methods. However, he is good natured. hard- working and anxious to learn inn proved methods. The sub-contrac- tors at first were little difficult. but were finally sold to our methods. doubt if they will go back to the old ways on subsequent jobs."

as pointing to a better outlook for
the 1881 domestic winter crop. No
moisture was reported in Nebraska,
but the forecast pointed to rain TO-

wheat by farm board allies were also
a beariSh factor.
More than 1O,5OO,O 900 bushels in

CONTINUED from gage one)
kelf to the manufacture of brick and
of the finest grades of pottery.
He pointed out the advantages Of
giving cheap coal to the states to the
south to the mutual benefit to pro-
Queer and consumer. He cited that
the Missouri is wide enough for traf-
fic, has a favorable current ard that
there are no rapids or water falls to
contend with.
Traffic Trend South
The modern traffic tendency is to-
ward the south Simpson stated, and
southern ports constantly are increas-
ing their shipping business. The con-
gestion that so often confronts the
North Dakota shipper would be elm
mated by the utilization of the Mis-
souri, as well as affecting a substan-
tial saving to both producer and con-
sumner.
Professor Simpson stated that i'm
pounding the river at it's headwaters
would un~questionably prove a vital
factor in flood control. He stated
that if this were done it would be
possible to control the amount of the
flow of the water during the various
seasons, keeping a moderately heavy
flow during the dry months and re-
ducing the amount during the flood
months. He also believes that the
silt which is deposited in the lower
river might be controlled by keeping
the water flow fairly constant. He
recommended the impeachment also
as a means of relieving the sections
of the state where an insufficient wa
ter supply threatens.
The hearing was resumed at 1870
Monday afternoon when further ar
guments for the project were heard.
It was the unanimous opinion OF
those appearing at the hearing that
the realization of the contemplated
project would prove an economic. and
financial blessing to the people Of
North Dakota.
Delegations from cites and towns
throughout the state were present at
the meeting.
