Beginning Of Civilization Here
Shown by Visiting Cards
and Newspapers
IALL ARE IN GOOD CONDITION
Box From Cornerstone Of Old
Capitol Opened in Presence
Of Legislature
ALL ARE IN GOOD CONDITION

Scenes and conditions Of SO years
ago were recalled to the memory Of
Bismarck residents by the contents
of the box placed in the cornerstone
OF the old capitol building 48 years
ago, a list of which has been COM
piled by Russell Reid, superintendent
of the state historical society.
The visiting cards of distinguished
guests. present for the occasion, and
copies of the Bismarck Tribune and
two other newspapers, contrasted
sharply with a piece Of bright-colored
chintz and some buttons, found In
the copper container. All of the ar.
ticles were in excellent condition, al
though the pencil markings on some
pieces of paper had grown indistinct
with the passage of the years.
Although it was difficult to find
anyone in Bismarck who could recon-
struct the scene Of the original cor
cerStone laying, it seemed probable
that q number of persons had access
to the box before 1t was sealed anC
placed in the stone.
Deposited BY Indian
It is assumed that the piece q
bright cloth was deposited by an In
dian woman or brave. -Four glass
beads, a steel key, a small brass but
ton, q black metal button and foul
brass rings may have come from thu
same source.
Mrs. j. F. Dunn, one of Bismarck
"Old-timerS' said Tuesday that she
attended the ceremony but was too
far away from the cornerstone itsel1
to see what took place. It would ap.
pear, however, that certain individ-
uals were permitted to file past the
box and deposit their cards and such
other objects as were handy.
Mrs. Dunn recalled that q dispute
arose at the time over a proposal to
place a bottle of wine or whiSkey II
the box and that the w. c. T. u. OBJ
jected stl enuously. No bottles were
found in the box when it was opened
Joseph Dietrich, also present at the
cornerstone laying, said he could not
remember the system used In select
ing material to be placed in the box

marck Tribune. were the Steel Her
aid and the st. Paul Daily Globe.
Beneath the newspapers was ar
envelope containing a blue print Of
the proposed state capitol and
grounds, the program for the dedica-
ton ceremonies and q newspaper
supplement, written by Territorial
Governor N. q. Ordway as a defense
of his administration.

ma Gandhi and Sir George schuster,
Indian finance minister, comforting
Tuesday at the vice-Regal palace,
reached an agreement on the salt
question, one Of the outstanding
problems in the way of abandonment
Of the civil disobedience campaign.
Almost exactly q year ago the In

the salt laws, which provide for q
British monopoly. Throughout cur
rent negotiations for calling off the
civil campaign, Gandhi has contend
ed the Indian people be empowered
to make. their own salt.

inimical to the public interest" the
expenditure Of $622,928 1t reported for
the Davis Brown ticket in the Repub-
Ncan primary last year.
Not only the former labor secretary
but his opponents as well were cleared
Of any suggestion Of smirch, but for
all the statement was qualified.
100000 Was Spent
UNLESS the expenditure Of more
than 100000 in the primary =. . can

Regarding the contention that Da-

OPPOSEDT

Scores Government Entering
Business In Competition
With Citizens
SUGGESTS Different PLAN
Declares That Power Problem
Cannot Be Solved by Pro-
posed System

Washington. March 3.-R-Pred.
dent Hoover Tuesday vetoed the Nor
ris Muscle Shoals bill.
Opposing the government enterino
into business I'm competition With It's
citizens" he suggested that Alabama
and Tennessee set up q commission
with representatives from farm or.
CARNATIONS and the army engineers
to lease Muscle Shoals sin the inter-
est Of the local community and agrt-
culture generally"
The president stated In these words
his stand on q question which many
believe will be a political issue In
1882:
"The power problem is not to be
solved by the government going into
n power business. the remedy
for abuses in the conduct of that In
dustry lies in regulation"
He took the position the present bill
puts the government into the bustness
OF manufacturing power, because its
provisions place any possible lessees
under conditions impractical for
profitable operation. The bill provides
that the president be authorised to
lease the Alabama plant under GER
tain conditions, and that II such q
lease can not be secured the govern
ment operate the power plant and this
nitrate manufacturing plant which
has been In existence since the war.
Calls Bill impossible
The president said the bill was ad.
ministratively impossible: that best
estimates would indicate q loss of s.
100000 a year In government opera
ton; that the chemical industry with
all Of its complications could not be
successfully operated by the govern
ment: and that the bin took away
powers which belong rightly to the
states.
He also said that under the bill,
which requires that three directors
shall have control of the plant, it
would not be possible to obtain COM
petent management.
The history of the Muscle Shoals
project, he said, should be a demon
stration of the ineptness of the fed
eral government to administer such
an enterprise and the penalties which
the local community would suffer.
Aside from other issues, the proei-
dent said the legislation would mean
that no other development Of power
could take place on the Tennessee
