MORE INFORMATION SOUGHT

Preliminary steps toward establish
ment Of major and minor dams in
county through use Of civil
Ian conservation corps men and Re-
Corporation funds were
taken Monday evening by score Of
Bismarck businessmen at meeting
by the local chapter Of the
Izaak Walton League.
The major dam proposed would be
in Apple Greek within five or 10 miles
Of the Capital City to impound waters
to form lake covering from 1000
engineers committee.
Minor dams would be at various
points in Apple Greek and Burnt
Greek, to be selected by committees Of
businessmen with the approval Of an
engineers committee
Committees Are Named
One committee was named to secure
information from the federal govern
ment. In this group are A. D. Nc
Kinnon, s. w. Corwin and H. p. God
dard.
Committees named to investigate
sites for dams were: Apple Creek
George Hektner, Goddard and e. r
LaFrance; Burnt Creek-John A. Lar.
son, DR.. H. r. Perry and Lynn w
Sperry.
Upon completion Of their investi-
cations, these committees are to re-
port to an engineers committee, In
GLIDING McKinnon, J. N. Roherty and
w. F. McGraw, which would select the
most feasible sites and prepare stats
tical material for presentation to the
federal government.
Committees also were instructed tc
determine the attitude Of farmer,
along the two creeks toward the pro.
posed dams and their willingness tc
sell their property at reasonable prices
in some cases or give easements to
property in other cases.
Would Expect Cooperation
At the meeting it was pointed out
that in cases where only small parts
Of farmers land would be covered by
water, the farmers would be benefit
ted by valuable shore line on the i'm.
pounded bodies of water and should be
willing to grant an easement i'm
mediately without financial consid-
Grafton.
In other cases, of course, 1t might be
necessary to purchase the land, the
cOnfereeS pointed out.
II any of the proposed dams are
constructed. 1t was pointed out. farm
ers must permit access to the lakes
and pounds over their property o,
construction of the dams will not be
justified.
The proposed lakes would fill rec
reational needs in the county as well
as conserve moisture and help in local
flood control.

THREAT OF DAMAGE
IS LESS IN INDIANA

Indianapolis, May 16.-R)-Threat
Of further flood damage in central In
diana lessened with falling river
levels Tuesday, but the swollen
streams poured their heavy burden
OF water down toward their confluen-
ces in the pocket" district.
Five hundred families had evacu-
ated their homes at Terre Haute,
where q crest of 25.5 feet on the Wa
bash River was the highest level

Survey Directed As Nation
Awaits HitIer's Pronounce
ment to Reichstag

Paris, May l6-(R-As a national
defense measure Paris factories were
ordered Tuesday to report to the
passive defense bureau" within
month on the number Of their en-
ployees and on their capacity.
This move came as the nation was
waiting for Chancellor Hitler's i'm
portant pronouncement before the
German Reichstag Wednesday on the
German policy in regard to rearma-
ment.
Jean Chiappe, perfect Of police is
sued the order to the Paris factories.
It applied to all establishments en-
ploying more than 500 workers, and
to metal, wood, food. chemical, cloth
ing and banking concerns, as well as
army supply plants.
The council of ambassadors, exec
utive body Of the treaty Of Versailles,
may shortly resume activity as a re-
suit of the controversy over the Ger
man arms problem, 1t was learned
Tuesday.
Paris and London are busily dis
cussing the revival of the council in
anticipation of renewed application Of
the treaty provisions.
The council is presided over by
Jules Cambon, veteran French diplo-
mat, and the United States ambassa-
dor frequently sat as an observer dur
ing the years Of its activity.
Inactive Several Years
For several years this executive
group has been idle, but 1t still MAIN
tains its office.
Resumption Of activity by the coun-
ell was discussed in connection
with two worldwide declarations, one
by Chancellor Adolph Hitler of Ger
many and the other by President
Roosevelt.
The president, it was said in gov
eminent circles, was urged by Paris
and London to present his disarma-
ment views with an implied. if not
outspoken, common opposition of the
powers to German rearmament and
It's consequences.
The 50-minute talk Monday Of Nor
man H. Davis, American ambassador
at-large, with foreign minister Joseph
Paul Boncour has allayed French
anxiety over German rearmament.
Preparation of a common front by
the United States, Great Britain and
France against German rearming was
underway as a result of the confer
ence whose subject was the Reich's
stand on arms, expected to be out
lined Wednesday In speech before
the Reichstag by Chancellor Hitler.

heat a group of baseball has

Prash, right field, Doc Gales, CEN
ter and Schooner pitcher. George

ing. Early in the first inning
Catcher Miller made a perfect peg
to second. Weisner went high in
the. air came down with the ball
on top of the base runner. He was
out by yards. The coach on the
first base line insisted that the rum
ner was safe, and the umpire"
yielded to superior Judgment.
Pitcher Schooner was dinging his
hooks around the neck and knees
Of the regulars" and generally they
sat down after three swings.
In his first time up this Weisner
hit the ball a mile into deep cen
ter field scoring Scot from second,
who hmped across home plate with
a flag Of truce flying in the breeze
from the rear. A man with crutches

Ted Arens
Appointed
Conservation
He Will Liquidate the 1884,
100000 State Has Out
standing in Farm Loans
is A RESPONSIBLE JOB
He Will Make Good-Son-in-
Law of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Borgmann

The Herald editor was pleased to
receive the news of the appoint
ment Of Theodore H. Arens as con-
servator OF the rural credit bureau,
by Gov. Floyd Olson.
This appointment is of intensely
local interest as Mr.. Aren's wife is
Esther, the third daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry G. Borgmann, Of
this city.
Mr.. Arens worked his way
through the Minnesota Ag. school.
After his graduation and marriage
he followed the vocation Of farmer
near Hill City. When Mr.. Olson
became governor he appointed Mr..
Arens deputy commissioner of ag-
riculture. Ted was the only prac-
teal dairyman in the department
and he has made an enviable record
for efficiency. His elevation to the
position as conservator was mer-
tied.
Mr.. Arens' task will be to take
over the rural credit bureau, which
in 10 years has loaned vast sums
to Minnesota farmers and has 1884,
100000 outstanding now, and start
gradual liquidating process. BY
act of the legislature the bureau
can make no more loans but is
instructed to manage the farms
now held, aid mortgagors and dis
pose Of the land as conditions per-
init. The land is not to be dump
ed''\ on the market the legislature
provided.
Mr.. Arens' salary will be $1,000 a
year. He will have three assistants
at $4,000 and whatever staff he will
require. He takes office July 1.
Governor Olson had tried to OBJ
tain an insurance or real estate Of
fetal for the post of conservator,
but found the salary not sufficient
ly attractive to several men to
whom he offered it.
Because of the slow market for
land, the position will be one where
farm management and executive
ability are essential" the Governor
said. Mr.. Arens has proved him
self well qualified as an expert in
farm management as well as exec
utive ability. He has received high
recommendation from many Of the
leading business firms Of the state.
The claim is made by the Sena-
torial group that they had an agree
ment with Gov. Olson when the
legislation providing for the ap-
pointment Of conservation was
agreed upon that the Governor
would confer with them before he
named the CONSERVATION. This COM
mittee state that they haven't any
thing against Mr.. Arens, but in
making his appointment, they insist
the Governor slipped over a fast
one on them.
There isn't a thing they can do
about it.
