APPLICATIONS Are
RECEIVED FOR 1856
Home OWNERS LOANS
Manager of Bismarck Office
Expects Number Will Reach
$50 by Aug. 81

Applications for over 1876 loans have
been made to the Bismarck office OF
the Home Owners Loan Corporation
Manager P. E. Byrne said Tuesday. He
expects that at least $50 applications
will be filed by Sept. l.
All these applications have been
made on the basis of trading or ex-
changing bonds of the Home Owners
Loan corporation for mortgages where
the amount Of the mortgage is not
over 80 per cent of the appraised value
OF the property. No applications have
been made for paying off mortgages
in cash where the mortgage is 40 per
cent or less of the appraised valuation
for the reason that no money will be
available to make such loans until the
bonds of the corporation have been
sold. Byrne said. So far his expert
ence has been that mortgagors are
generally favorable to the idea of ex-
changing their mortgages for the
bonds.
In most of the applications received,
he said, there have been considerable
unpaid taxes against the property. A
loan cannot exceed the appraised val
uation OF 30 per cent, including the
mortgage and the taxes.
Some mortgage lenders have not
yet been able to determine whether or
not they will accept the home loan
bonds because the Federal Home Loan
Bank board has not yet completed
the bond issue and has not yet is
sued its circular presenting the full
merits and character of the bonds,
said Byrne. The circular is expected
in short time.
The government guarantees the
payment of interest on the bonds fully
and Internationally. he said, and the
corporation, including its franchise,
capital, reserves, surplus, loans and
income is exempt from all taxation
except surtaxes, estate, inheritance
and gift taxes. Any debtor to the
corporation may present these bonds
in part or In full payment and receive
credit to the extent Of the par value
Of the bonds. In other words, If the
bonds, for any reason should be SELL
ing for less than par, anyone holding
them could discharge their obligation
to the government by rendering the
bonds In payment and the government
would allow them the full par value OF
the bonds.
The acceptance OF the bonds by a
mortgagor must be voluntary and no
coercion will be permitted by the cor
poration.
when these loans are made, the
mortgages securing them will all be

Aug. Is, 1888.
Editor, Tribune:
I am surprised at the editorial, "A
Break for Them" which appeared in
Friday, Aug. 25th, paper.
It I understand you rightly, you
are taking the stand which so many
merchants, officials and even private
citizens who think they are so high
up socially and morally have taken;
namely, that the family who is
living on relief, has neither brains
nor finances to carry them over. They
are just the refuse of the nation.
just because we have gotten to the
end Of our rope and have refused to
sit idly by to watch our loved ones
starve and freeze to death because Of
lack Of eats and clothes. We have
had to swallow our pride, which we
once had, and 60 up before the coun-
ty authorities and ask for mere pit
lance, with which we could tide our
selves over. For just that very thing
we are condemned as not being de-
cent, law-abiding American citizens
and are called beggars and paupers.
Are we really to blame for conditions
as exist today? Did we voluntarily
give up our jobs or were we just po-
litely told that our pay would stop
on such and such date?
Just because we demand a right
to live, which according to the con-
stitution of the U. S. is our right
we are called Communist Reds and
the like. Our unemployed council,
which is comprised chiefly Of relief
workers, is certainly trying it's level
best to cooperate with every move
ment that is worth while. We may
not be stoop-shouldered from carry
ing our brains around but I believe
you will find upon questioning us
that we have the intelligence of the
average American citizen.
Therefore just give us a break as
we'll as those who have been able to
hang on until now, without relief.
Yours respectfully,
A. F. KUDICK,
Secretary, Bismarck
Unemployed Council.

SOUTHWEST MAKING
FASTEST PROGRESS
IN CUTTING ACREAGE
Cut Of 100000 Acres in
Paintings and 124, 100000
Bushels Sought

Washington, Aug 20. - (F - The
campaign to force gigantic retreat
in American wheat production was
pressed with new yigor Tuesday by
federal farm administrators, whose
adjustment program demanded a Is
per cent cut in paintings.
Secretary Wallace announced that
this reduction in seedlings of acreage
for harvest in 1884 will be required Of
farmers who want to qualify for cash
benefits from fund of $l20,00 900
being raised by a 30-cent- per-bushel
processing tax on the grain.
His administrators estimated that
# most of the wheat farmers of the
nation join in their plan, the reduc-
ton will mean a cut of about $500 900
acres in paintings and reduction of
more than 124,Ooo,OO0 bushels in 1884
from the average production in recent
years.
Covers Export Division
simultaneously they looked forward
to completion during the day Of the
supplement to the London wheat
agreement. This supplement covers
the division of exports during the year
which began Aug. /, among the four
major exporting countries-the Unit
ed States getting about 100000
bushels of the 560,00o,00O bushels ag-
gregate.
The drive to sign up farmers OH
acreage reduction agreements was
under way in the four chief wheat
producing areas of the nation. with
the fastest progress made in the
southwest, where many farmers hoped
to complete their contracts promptly
and wind up winter wheat planting.
Administrators estimated that i'm
provement in the prices Of wheat this
year together with the benefit pay
ments being offered may bring the
total funds realized from this years
crop to $450,OO0,0 900, a 1925, 900 900 re-
turn on this years 5OO,OOO,000 bushel
crop and approximately $120,O00,000
available for benefit payments.
Last year. when the crop amounted
to about 725,000,0OO bushels, the re-
turns to farmers aggregated $177.-
100000.
Wallace said he regards the inter-
rational wheat agreement, providing
the supplement is signed, as a marked
step forward ito break the vicious
cycle of surpluses, excessive tariffs,
ruinous prices, economic paralysis and
bread lines in this and other coun-
tries"
Lists Significant Points
He described as the most significant
element in the general agreement
reached at London these points:
Il. The major wheat importing
and exporting countries of the world
face the facts of the world wheat
problems and agree on a program of
action to seek to correct them.
20. The exporting nations agree to
control exports and to adjust produc-
ton 50 as to help eliminate the ex-
cessive carry-overs of wheat.
%. The wheat importing countries
agree to cease further efforts to ex-
pand wheat production in their coun-
tries and agree to policy of gradual
ly removing tariffs and trade barriers
as world wheat prices rise.
Il. The countries participating in
the conference will establish a Joint
committee to watch the working out
of various steps This international
committee will meet from time to time
and will be responsible for seeing that
additional steps are properly TAKEN"

turned to Helen Mathieson again, taking her out that evening on a long motor.canoe trip in the Strait. It was she who innocently gave him the little broken bits of information and the stray trivial details that he pieced together into the story Of Karakhan's escape.
 The following morning he walked in on Baldwin and Sergeant Holden.
 Here in Vancouver" he informed them, there Is. or was. young fly CT called Jim Gunnar. He had an am phibian of his own. and he kept 1t at the airport. He and karakhan went up together two or three times a week, and Karakhan used his snip exclusively. While Tn working on another lead. wish you'd investi gate him.

 Just a month ago he had smacked up in a pea-soup fog at Baranoff Island. A whaling boat had taken him to a hospital at Novonesky. a little town dating from the Russian occupation of the Pacific North west: but he had died without re | gaining consciousness.

they have been employed for the last several months on the con struction work for the new con- nery being built there by Libby McNeill and Libby Company.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-11-20

THE report was blow to Curt. fl Karakhan really had escaped by plane. young Gunnar was the logical person to have taken him. Now Gun mar was dead. and the information he might have given was forever lost.
 What was he doing on the six. teenth and seventeenth of last Sep. tember, Holden?"
 "On the sixteenth his ship was housed at the airport. On the seven teenth he cleared for Nanaimo. IL was stormy foggy day. No other planes cleared and none came in.
 "Did he take a passenger"
 "No. I'm sure of that because the airport manager checks on ships. We're so close to the border that they have to be strict with inspec. tions. He cleared by himself"
 Baldwin looked relieved. The facts which Curt had dug up about young Gunnar had made him uneasy. but now his confidence flowed back.
 Did you check on him arriving at Nanaimo. Holden?" Curt persisted.
 "I phoned 'em. but they don't keep records there. and they have too many planes in and out to remem. Der any particular one"
 How much gac did he take on here?"
 Holden glanced at paper. "Eighty-five gallons"
 Curt toyed with letter knife. Baldwin felt sympathetic. Tenny- son was failing. At least this trail, to which he had evidently pinned lot of hope. was proving a complete dud.
 About this matter of Gunnar clearing by himself" Curt said pres ently. and his measured reasoning jolted Baldwin out of his complac- ency. The could easily enough have picked Karakhan up. somewhere out in the Strait. As for his going to Nanaimo. he never went there at all and never intended to. He lied.
 That plane of his. on floats. could just barely get off with eighty.ave gallons of gas. Nanaimo is only six ty miles from here. Would a pilot ever tank up to capacity for a forty five minute hop? You can bank on it. he was planning flight of seven or eight hours."

 Drilling was financed by local subscriptions.
 The well will be known as the Chamber of Commerce well number one
 Percy Livesey, Chairman of the committee, backing the project, es- inmates the flow is between five hundred and one million cubic feet daily.
 It is the first gas well with commercial possibilities in Western Washington.
 Dean Milnor Roberts, of the College of Mines of the University of Washington, said he will await further tests before expressing his opinion on the importance of the discovery.
