What Do
YOU See?

w. G. RENDEN, manager Of the
North Dakota Power and Light
company:
II see quite q perceptible i'm.
provement in business conditions
under the stimulating effect Of
winter weather and the Christ
mas shopping spirit. People are
buying-perhaps not as reckless
ly as they did in 1929-but I think
the volume Of Christmas sales will
be almost as large as in the year
1890.
II can see no reason why the
citizens and merchants Of Bis
marck should not be highly OPP
timistic for the future. Bismarck
is strategically located as q trad
ing center. We have an abund-
ant water supply and facilities
for the disposal OF sewage In the
Missouri river and we should
guard this advantage jealousy.
We have q rich adjacent farming
territory with splendid start In
farm diversification. The next
year will see the start Of actual
construction Of the new Capitol
building. Our local financial In
stitutions are unusually strong
and well affiliated.
1--WE have q splendid school
system and recreational advant-
ages for the rising generation.
The citizens Of Bismarck have
responded generously to the sup
port Of those organizations which
administer to less fortunate citt-
zens and there will be no acute
suffering this winter.
"As win Rogers says, All !
know is what I read In the pa.
pers,' and things are not 50 bad.
Let's buck up"

Has Saved Effectively
The president was said Friday to
feel that the banking pool has given
extremely effective service in restor-
ing confidence in banks and enabling
the banks themselves to remain
liquid. Its scope, however, has not
been as broad as the credit situation
| demands.
The president has conferred with
In recent weeks with q number of
men associated with the old war H.

Baruch who was head Of the war In.

with julius Barnes, who was the head
OF the grain Sterilization corporation
during the war.
Other new moves to benefit busi-

~sideration by Hoover.
High among proposals before him
are aid for railroads, both major and

ness ana assistance for the farmer.
Many Plans Offered

help industry and the railroads and
scores of such have reached the white

than two months ago, but still exists,
and that. as an alternative, he would
approve a possible $1,000, 000,0 900 gov.

The. president himself has had no

mission in 1924

Sale Of the state mill and elevator
at Drake for $2,500 has been ap-
proved by the state industrial COM
mission which was authorized by the
last legislature to dispose Of the
property.
G. H. Burch Of Drake purchased
the mill and warehouse buildings for
81, $500. while the machinery was
bought by ]. Goodman, miller at
Estevan, Sask., for $1,000. The two
bids were the only ones received by
the industrial commission in response
to its advertisements.
All that remains to be done to
transfer ownership Of the mill and
elevator from the state to the two
purchasers Is the drawing of a deed,
to be perfected soon, John Gammons
secretary Of the industrial commits
sion, said.
The mill, purchased In 1920, ceased
operation about seven years ago. The
state paid $4,000 for the mill and
elevator, and later spent $4,000 addi.
tional for machinery.
Sale Of the property was first at.
tempted In 1924. when a bid Of 5000
was received, but rejected on thu
ground that it was too low. Latel
efforts were made to enact legislation
directing the industrial commission
to dispose Of the mill and elevator
and bills were introduced at the 1872
and 1929 sessions, but defeated. A
the 1881 session, q similar measure
was introduced and passed.
Acceptance OF the only two bid
submitted was unanimously approved
by the three members Of the indus
